It’s all the same pot. It’s just stronger now.

Some strains are even purposely crossbred with hemp, in order to get certain traits*. The introduction of hemp in the genetics actually LOWERS the THC content.

It won’t kill you now just like it did not kill my ancestors in previous generations.

*Autoflowering is one such trait.

“The mellow marijuana of the 60s is a loooong way from the mega-powerful marijuana produced today.”

Something for which this medical marijuana patient in the state of Florida is thankful for. Takes fewer plants to be processed into the medicine I use which saves me $$$.

“Thanks for getting the truth out, Stick!”

Happy to do so.

“(May I call you Stick?) “

You can call me anything but George Soros or Marvin :)

Someone please give Sessions a toke.
Maybe it will expand his mind a little bit. Jeeez.

Seems he scoffs at a lot of things...

...like deep state corruption, money laundering, treason, sedition, etc.

“Why don’t you focus on some of the bigger fish you are supposed to be frying, Jeff?”

Only stupid people want the Attorney General spending time on pot.

I can think of a few WOD boosters here on FR that fall into that category.

This is from the CDC. Note that the 4 legal states - CO, WA, AK and OR - are low on the list and had very small increases in OD deaths from 2010 through 2016 compared with non-legal states. OR actually had a decrease.

Which is 1 year, 2 months, 17 days too long.

Jeff Sessions is not the only one who doesn’t believe that Marijuana is reducing opioid deaths. It is simply not true and is an excuse to spread marijuana useage.

This says otherwise: "States with Legal Marijuana See 25 Percent Fewer Prescription Painkiller Deaths" - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3197446/posts

What's your evidence to the contrary?
