You can eat marijuana if you cannot smoke it.

Good. It is only a matter of time until marijuana is legal in the US everywhere, and thank God for it.

The left would love us to be doped up and not notice while they push their agenda into law.

...Wild Turkey Whisky and sell it...

I Just Buy It!!! :)

I’ve smoked pot maybe a dozen times my entire 48 years.

I’ve downed enough liquor to fill a small swimming pool. Most of that was in the teens and 20s.

Never got into a fight at a bar after smoking a joint and never got into a fight with a pothead.

STARTED fights like a moron while drunk and got hit by drunks who started fights.

If my kid was gonna test with something for a few years, I’d rather it be pot.

Also, i’ve yet to see it have been a “gateway” drug for anyone I’ve known.

In fact, the potheads i knew never used anything else and the cokeheads i knew never smoked pot. Two VERY different highs. .

I grow a vegetable garden and it’s fairly simple. It’s work. But there’s nothing complicated about it.

I’d say fine with it being legal. But age restricted like alcohol and tobacco. Probably shouldn’t let anyone below the age of 25 use it recreaionally unless we are certain it has no permanent effect on brain development.

People are making money. Cities have a new source of revenue. Communities are getting stoned. The stupidity gap is growing. I can’t tell if it’s the pot or the government run curriculum.

Like hire dumb people to teach and they teach people to be dumb.

You can vaporize cannabis. There are suppositories as well along with cannabis infused edibles. One need not smoke the flower to enjoy the benefits of this amazing plant.

“Also, if it’s legal to grow why buy it from someone else?”

Because someone else might have a strain that better suits your needs.

“I was just reading about it online”

Have you ever tried to grow your own produce? Even the simple tomato or pepper plant can be a challenge. I figure my home grown tomatoes cost about $4.75 each, cherrys at $.75 each.

Starter plants are a few bucks, or if you start from seed, you need peat blocks, or other “starter” set up. Then the pots or raised bed construction and potting soil. Then all the other suplements for tomatoes. Then bug sprays or powders or “home remedies”. Time investment of care. Then a hornworm caterpillar gets through anyway and eats half a plant overnight. Then a huge grasshopper eats the other half. Finally you have a couple of beautiful red jewels and a bird pecks a nice hole in one side of one. Too much rain and the other one developes blossom end rot!!!

But that’s O.K. We go to sleep secure that when the SHTF we will be able to produce our own food. A couple of dozen tomatoes, a couple dozen bell peppers, a couple dozen eggplants, a couple dozen zuchinni. Yep! We will be living large.

You better be darn good or at least have a few acres or you are gonna starve. But you can find on the internet people that can live off of a few plants in five gallon buckets and a handful of Talapia in a kid’s swimming pool.

I started using cannabis as medicine in Feb 2015. Hadn’t touched the stuff since college & even though I played music in clubs for 20+ years & saw it being used every day I just wasn’t interested in it. It’s literally saved my life after decades of depression & anxiety.

Like you, I never saw a cannabis user fight or start one but I sure saw drunks fight a LOT! It’s also a running joke at my house now with, “Have you seen my gateway? There’s a supposed to be a gateway, dang! Where’s mine?” kinda nonsense. All I ever do is get to chuckling & after my bedtime dose, I sleep so very well.

I’d much rather be in a room full of cannabis users than in a room full of people drinking booze. Granted, cannabis isn’t for everyone. But it sure helps me with my quality of life.

That’s great man! I’m happy it has worked for you.

What kind of music did you play?

Gen 1:11

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,

Gen 1:29

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,

I'm still surprised at how many people put their faith in man, instead of The Word!

Cannabis was criminalized partly to take advantage of the anti slavery loophole in the 13th amendment. The other aspects of it being criminalized are due to luciferian greed and hatred of God's Love.

We do not know each other, but it was for me.

God created cyanide but not for men to eat it. God created volcanos but not for us to throw ourselves into them. The definition of a parasite is that it harms an organism which has no use for it.

“Pot proponents are tools of Satan himself.”

As a thankful Catholic convert who began using cannabis in 2015 for medicinal purposes I can assure you my faith in Christ has not been diminished in any way. In fact, because cannabis treats my depression & anxiety better than 20+ years of medications ever did my faith in Christ Jesus & our Heavenly Father has increased for I no longer have those horrible illnesses filtering every thing I see, hear or think.

I thank our Heavenly Father daily for giving us this wonderful plant. May you & yours have a blessed Easter season.
