Legal meds are a huge problem but not as big as pot when more states legalize.

So skunk didn't exist before legalization - and is more prevalent in locales that have legalized? I had the impression skunk was the biggest problem in England ... where pot is not legal.

They're family people working at places such as Microsoft and Amazon.

Maybe that's the problem.

Good luck on your job interview. I have been intending to purchase product since I-502 went into effect but have not. Now I am looking into the CBD oils derived from hemp (legal anywhere) with virtually no THC and no euphoric or psychoactive effects at all, just medicinal. Have you tried these?

No but I want to get my brother to try those, specifically Charlotte’s Web. He suffers from degenerative brain disease similar to NFL players (CTE) after he sustained severe head injuries while he ws a police officer. Severe headaches, seizures, and drastic mood swings.

I don’t know what it means now but in the ‘70s the term ‘skunk weed’ was synonymous with low quality. These days I guess the term for low quality pot is ‘shwag.’

Skunk refers to Cannabis strains that are strong-smelling and have been likened to the smell of the spray from a skunk.[1]

These strains of cannabis are believed to have originated in the United States prior to development by Dutch growers.[2] Just as with other strains of cannabis, skunk is commonly grown in controlled indoor environments under specialized grow lights, or in a greenhouse when full outdoor conditions aren’t suitable.[3]

Skunk strains are hybrids of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. The combination of these two species produces unique effects. Additionally, skunk strains are considered to be more potent as they contain more THC than average cannabis strains.

The skunk weed of the ‘70s was stinky too, thus the name, but was grown outdoors in Mexico. It was definitely inferior to Jamaican or Colombian which wasn’t as odoriferous.

Also can permanently lower IQ especially when people start young.

The so-called “Medical Marijuana” initiative was a loophole or an end-around the marijuana laws.

You don't think states have constitutional authority to set their own marijuana laws?

If people insist on smoking the buds of today (it does smell and taste better, IMHO) and be comfortable with it, they’ll have to do what the smokers of yesteryear didn’t much worry about- Find their limit and try not exceed it.

[equaviator]

Ah, but the Colombian Gold and Red were extremely good smelling and tasting! The Golds and Reds of the mid-70s were top notch!

My first time was on the roof of my parents’ house on Christmas Eve, 1972. That should’ve meant that I’d have been 900% “more likely to develop schizophrenia as an adult.”...But it hasn’t happened. Just because you’re “paranoid” doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you!

[Bulwyf]

Haha, ya... They’re definitely out to get us.
