I read that that Denver is cracking down on the beggars on the 16th Street Mall. Looked like most of them were stoners.

There have already been court cases that have held up firings because smokers are not a protected class.....yet. I know of few employers who won’t hire you if they find nicotine in your drug screen.

Oh, there’s a whole lot of specialized strains for sale at dispensaries, each with loads of promised applications and benefits. As none of them are subject to FDA regulation as to claims, being that they’re selling an illegal schedule one drug in the first place, they have rolled out the blarney in such a way to make an Irishman blush.

So screw the Tenth Amendment and side with fedgov, right?

There are still dry counties in America and even dry neighborhoods in major cities.

Can own it, can consume it, can’t buy it.

True, but that's local law, either state, county or municipality, not federal. Cool by me. As an example, if California wants to legalize marijuana, but Tehama County makes it illegal, that's cool by me.

Yep. It’s none of anyone’s business what happens to their paycheck. Just do what the government tell’s you, you are governmentioned property.

My friend had to travel to CA for business, and I goaded him to get a Medical MJ card while there.

He had to see a doc, who signed off on his “malady” (which, since I know him, is probably “allergic to hard work”)

He said it was a joke, with folks actually saying stuff like they had a “fever in their foot” to get the card.

As an aside, he is a volunteer fireman and has saved the lives of 2 people already, the latest during our floods wherein the victim was breathing in a tiny air pocket in his car a la Mary Jo Kopechne. I am proud of him.

Ganja has many times the tar as tobacco does, which is why the smart folks vape rather than smoke, as no tar or solid particulates are released via vaping.

Folks that have not suffered a debilitating injury or pain will never understand that to many, MJ is a godsend.

PS: They are making pot now that targets specific maladies, and are breeding the THC out or many strains, because it is not the THC that provides the pain relief.

On what grounds will anti-pot FReepers oppose pot when there is no THC in it? Suddenly they will become anti-terpene? Do they even know what a terpene is?

A hint to all: The component in Lavender that is noted for it’s calming properties is the exact same component in pot noted for it’s calming properties.

Ban Lavender!

The substance in mangoes that temporarily weakens the blood-brain barrier is the same substance in pot that temporarily weaken the blood-brain barrier.

Ban Mangoes!

Marinol sucks.

It is not THC that provides the pain relief in most cases, but the myriad of other components, mainly terpenes.

Thus, there is no reason to take Marinol.

Come to South Carolina to live. Things are more or less normal here except when the usual suspects go ballistic at mere mention of the Confederate flag. Our Muslim problem is minimal because all us “infidels” are armed to the teeth. There are no dominant subcultures here as in CA; gay events are small & avoidable.

“Expats” are concentrated in the techie corridor around Greenville-Spartanburg but there is no Yankee or liberal invasion as in WA & OR.

Lived here since I came back from Vietnam. Wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else. Y’all come!
