“”Nobody who dislikes jail will be sharing with minors.”” (if it becomes legal, and ubiquitous, and grown everywhere)
Huh?
No contradiction - it's my observation that under current laws teens get pot almost exclusively through purchase, from people risking jail in exchange for profit. There would be no profit in the sharing scenario you presented.
Weird.
The scenario I described is one where pot is free, to almost free, and literally everywhere.
Teens will be rolling in the stuff.
Legalizing pot turns it into a common houseplant and yard shrubbery, it will be everywhere.
As it is now, when we find pot plants in our gardens and yards, we pull them out.
Thanks fishtank. In their defense, they weren’t all that bright in the first place.
This could be “Libtard TV, Radio, Print media, and WWW Leaves Lasting Cognitive Deficits”.
Still wrong - as I said, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_cultivation for what's involved.

Try smoking some - I can guarantee you'll get no high.
Growing great pot is as easy as pie
Hmm ... on the one hand, a thoroughly footnoted article, and on the other hand, an unsupported claim ... which to believe?
Growing great pot is as easy as pie, easier than growing great tomatoes, that is why it is often grown in closets and spare bedrooms,
No, it's grown there because it's illegal. Do you never tire of saying foolish things?
and America is full of people in apartments and homes,and bare patches of ground, and teens know them.
Teens know people who have the space for home beer-brewing, too - that's not the same as having access to home brew.
By the way, your graphic makes no claim about "great pot" so it proves zip.
Growing pot is easy, that is why we have to pull up so many plants out of our yards and gardens. You just don’t seem to have ever grown any, or know anything about it.
People grow indoors for many reasons, one is that ‘why not?’, it is easy and convenient, it is year round, non-seasonal, accelerated growth, perfect conditions and temperatures, what’s not to like?
I have made home brew, and I have grown pot, pot is simple, home brew is hard, and with little yield.
I take it that you don’t garden, so you thought that wiki page looked complicated?
You also seem to think that every pot plant has to exceed the quality that fueled the 1960s.
Growing high quality pot is simple as pie to anyone that can grow tomatoes.
You carefully avoid saying whether you ever smoked any of that pot.
I take it that you don’t garden, so you thought that wiki page looked complicated?
It is; I invite interested readers to see for themselves.
I take it that you don’t garden, and that you have never grown pot then.
Growing pot is easy, it is a pretty, and sturdy plant, it produces a huge amount of the drug, and the drug has a long shelf life.
If it becomes legal, there won’t be taxes and controls over it. Pot will simply become ubiquitous, and free, and near free.
Will the store carry some taxed product in a nice package, sure, but only for the upscale and impulse buyers, gifts and hobbyists and gardeners who don’t even smoke, will take care of the rest, I don’t smoke, but I will grow the plant, I always regret having to throw them away and kill them.
Translation for those teens that are smokin......Doobies will make you dumb!
We grew tomatoes a few summers ago. With relatively little effort, we got good-tasting produce - whereas the pot you grew was useless for mind alteration.
and that you have never grown pot then.
Growing pot is easy [...] I don’t smoke
Growing ditchweed is easy; growing mind-altering pot is not, as I've shown with a thoroughly footnoted article.
Growing high quality pot
Make up your mind - are we talking about high quality pot, or not?
Good gosh does every thing have to be explained to you, the answer is both.
Decent weed fueled the 1960s and higher quality pot is easy to grow.
LOL, you don’t know about the pot we have grown.
You just keep throwing out things that you don’t know about.
A case of having a conclusion you want to reach, and forcing everything to fit that made up scenario.
I would be surprised if you have ever done any living among the serious drug culture, or communal living.
Back to the baseless claim I've rebutted with a thoroughly footnoted article.
Since you say you don't smoke, you don’t know about the pot you have grown. What I know from the thoroughly footnoted article I've linked is that mind-altering pot doesn't grow the way you've described your pot growing.
I would be surprised if you have ever done any living among the serious drug culture, or communal living.
I would be surprised if you could show any relevance of those matters to the questions we've been discussing. Dragging in red herrings to distract from a losing argument is another hallmark of the Drug Warrior.
Well good luck with your delusions, it doesn’t seem to occur
to you that someone may have decades of experience with that world, beginning in the wild and woolly 60s and communal living.
Grow your first pot plant, and see if you find it so demanding.
Well good luck with your delusions, it doesn’t seem to occur to you that someone may have decades of experience with that world, beginning in the wild and woolly 60s and communal living.
It doesn’t seem to occur to you that you have yet to demonstrate any relevance of these distractions.
It remains the case that the pot you grown has not been shown to be mind altering, and that you've offered no reason to doubt the thoroughly footnoted article I linked.
Grow your first pot plant, and see if you find it so demanding.
Now that you mention it, I did grow pot in college, in my closet - it didn't get me high. Thanks for the reminder!
Well the pot that was grown by my roommate in Southern California, right outside the front door was highly desired, and the growing was as easy as pie, the old man next door even admired the huge, beautiful plants, I forget what he was told about them.
You just haven’t had any experience with this stuff, or gardening, you read that wiki article about how to make the perfect pot plant, and it seems complex to you.
Read it again, potting soil, check, sunlight, check, water, check, some plant food, check, don’t let it freeze, check, pinching, flowering, tying it, all routine gardening, we do it all with our tomatoes, we sprout the seeds, start them indoors, plant them outside, we pinch them, stake them, tie them, that is how some of us have grown 16 foot tall tomato plants.
Sellers grow huge crops of pot all over the forests and mountains, with little effort, some water, some food, good climate. Growing pot in your closet is easier, if you read the pamphlet first.
Read your own wiki article, but give it a little thought while you read it, it doesn’t get into anything complicated, the same article can be written on tomatoes.
And their desires were fulfilled: they actually got high from this stuff?
pinching, flowering, tying it, all routine gardening, we do it all with our tomatoes
Never did any of those with the tomatoes I successfully grew - nor tried to prevent pollination, nor gradually increased the strength of the fertilizer. Certainly not an activity for everyone - least of all the sort of adolescent who wants to regularly smoke pot.
