DEA is looking to drop marijuana down to a schedule 2 or 3 drug

Aunt Bonnie is straight up goofy, she has been regularly smoking weed for 40 years. She cannot sit and tell a story, as she seems to have to act it out, with tons of arm movement.
Loud, hyper, and overall kind of nasty.
She has 8 siblings, one of course being mother. She is the only pot head, and the only one as described above.
Grandpa was a drunk, his farts were toxic.

I've met plenty of folk who I would think a bit of THC would benefit them, especially those type A mfer's..

I'm all about Liberty, don't tell me what to do or not do as long as my doin isn't infringing upon anothers liberty.

correlation doesnt equal causation...

I feel as though smoking weed for 40 years, all day long, never really not being high.. ever has caused every bit of Bonnies weirdness.

I don't think drinking or cigarettes or weed or anything else for 40 years is beneficial. Life is about moderate, in any form.

 

[701FishSlayer]

I'm pretty weird I guess.

Oh 701 even this priest only had.2 vices

I know a few people who went on a 40 year drunk and most of them ended up worse off than your Bonnie. Either way , I don't blame it on the weed or the booze Just like I don't blame the gun used in a shooting. Some people are just screwy in the head to start with and a certain % of them have genes for addiction and/or low activity MAO-A . It's not the booze, weed or the gun, all of those can be used with moderation.

701FishSlayer I may drive 5 miles over the speed limit or even tear that do not tear off that mattress tag but I will wait patiently for the federal government to allow tax paying Americans to grow the super widow cheese skunk bud. Being able to own a gun is a God given right given to me by our founding fathers and I will not make a decision that will take that away. No matter what the 10th amendment says.
This is interesting and I am only going by what I have read on other forums so I don't have any sources to back up this claim, but some growers are getting around the whole thc problem. Mj thar has 3 percent or less can be sold legally everywhere, and the only way you can tell really if a product has less then 3 percent is to test it. So now hemp growers are illegally buying pure thc oil extract and lacing hemp with it then selling it to the public. Is it legal hell no and is this possible that some are doing this? absolutely it is potheads are notorious for thinking outside the box in a room made of glass.

Good way to fail a drug test! Hard to trust any of the CBD products when you are in a profession that drug tests.

I agree and that's why I won't even try it because of that reason right there, until they can make a test that can prove that I'm under the influence with in 1-3 hours after inhalation. Yeah yeah there are saliva test out there for Leo but none of those are recognized by the lab companies that administer urine analysis for dot or employers

I was talking to a friend from Arizona and she tells me that the majority of people who are coming into the dispensaries for medical mj products are the senior citizens who are on Medicare who for whatever reason can't afford their regular medication and find that mj helps then maintain a normal life.

Placebo? Desperation? IDK. If it works it works. Again; pharmacist friend thinks it's only good for "recreation" or appetite motivation. I concede all negative points about alcohol. We don't need another legal problem.

The black market is destroying the "tax" argument in "friendly" states.

That is a fact. the rec. users want the crap that's laced with fentanyl and all that jazz.

 

[Davey Crockett]

Most of the medical is low in THC and High in CBD It's not a big deal like some people make it out to be.

I agree with many of your responses, however this one I disagree with. I'm in touch with folks who use MJ recreationally and NONE of them want to F with anything laced with additional drugs. Risky business and not the buzz they're after.

 

[Davey Crockett]

Or , maybe it's more like they are willing to buy off the street and take a chance at what they are getting ? I donno but there are responsible people who would have medical benifits if it wasn't for the hoops to jump through.

Yes, "take the risk" is unfortunately part of their game. Seems awfully risky when you're talking life or death - partially the argument for legalizing and regulating it

LOL That's like asking your local Chevrolet dealer what they think about you buying a Ford.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Do you think we buy our weed from random Joe's on the street corner who have no idea what we're smoking? Your assumptions on how shit works are totally off the wall.

 

[701FishSlayer]

Buy your weed from people you know. Is your friend that you've known 20 years gunna hand u a bag of weed laced with fentanyl? No. Don't be an idiot.

Let me explain how big of a ripoff the medical program is. I let my card expire 2 years ago, recently I decided to renew it. It just so happens the clinic doesn't take my insurance (normal insurance thru work Yada yada) so I have to pay cash if I want a card. You'll find out they prolly do this to most people. So it's $280 for the first visit just to walk in the door. Then they said I need to come back every 3 months for another $225 a pop. $50 application fee, then sit and wait. All this for the lowest quality weed you could possibly purchase at the medical store. Go on there website, it lists the thc percent. It's dirt. Next, look at the prices. They are criminal. So tell me how all this medical program is good enough for those that need it. I choose MJ over opioids.

When it comes time to vote for recreational ganja, vote yes for fucks sake. Get with the times.
