Fine by me, less people to compete with in this world. Just so they don't expect handouts so they can layabout and get baked. The President is a fink. |

Legal marijuana, the only change is illegal to legal and tax paying businesses reaping profits instead of the mafia Pot smokers have been smoking pot for decades regardless if legal or illegal I will continue as all my friends continue to do. Work good paying jobs all our lives working sober and relaxing at night with a smoke. Its always been like that, always will.

Just makes it easier for the dopey to find the dope, and kid themselves thru life. The gene pool can only handle so many successful people, it weeds the rest out with, well, weed. There's an epidemic of hard drug overdoses in the US and people are very upset over it. Why exactly, I don't know. Herds must be culled or the whole herd suffers.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I wish I could smoke, but I can't. I just recovered from another bout of aspiration pneumonia. But I do use mmj tincture, medicinally. I tried the strait cbd, several variety's and it didn't seem to do jack. Each purveyor would claim miracles if I used their cbd. Found out some of the tinctures weren't even from hemp or pot plants, they were making it from cotton plant? I give Colorado and Az., credit for standardizing the definition of a dose. Several states have agreed that 10mg thc, is a dose, is a dose is a dose. No more is using edibles like the lottery, never knowing what you are getting. Dosing has always been tricky with edibles. I'm currently emailing a tincture manufacturer to try and get them to use "pippets" on they're eyedroppers, changed to the kind with visible measurements on the dropper, instead of users having to guess about how many mg's are in a dropper. They seem about as interested as a dope dealer would be, about the suggestions/needs of a customer. Az. has so many regs on mmj, they examine each crop for purity, contaminants, bugs, mold etc. It is a good product, scientifically. The tincture I have is 1 to 1 thc, cbd. I can take a big dose of it without getting stoned, which is what I wanted. The previous products, not the cbd ones, but the thc ones, taking even small dosages I would get stoned, and the side effects like paranoia were to unpleasant. But according to the outlet , the addition of 50% cbd cancels the paranoia affect, and also almost removes the altered mindset. Used as directed, I swear there is a medicinal value to the herb. It would be so much handier if I could take a toke or two or three, but I can't do that. Unfortunately the effect takes so long to work [2 hours and longer], as I said dosing is tricky. But with the quality and standardizing the potency, makes it more usable as medicine. My personal opinion is it has lesser side effects than pharmaceuticals? I used to eat a mj brownie on the way in to having IV treatments, I was definitely the happiest patient in the clinic. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

The ones that I get upset over are the ones who got hooked because they were in unbearable pain. I don't feel bad for the Janes of the world who shoot heroin for fun. Smoke for recreation and their life slows down to nothing. But the decline must come. The President is a fink. |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Inscriptions on Georgia Guidestones constructed 1980 (1/4 million pound monument) A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity. Unite humanity with a living new language. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court. Avoid petty laws and useless officials. Balance personal rights with social duties. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite. Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
That's a very open ended edict. It reminds of the first inscription: "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature". The inscription implies that the other 7 billion should be culled. |

I can't believe I am posting a CNN link. I wonder if car insurance rates are increasing faster in states that have legalized marijuana as opposed to states that haven't. Let's go Brandon |

I couldn't drive when I smoked pot. I would sit at red lights till they honked at me. At stop signs I would wait till I could see no cars for as far as I could see, I would go 25 in a 50 zone. Totally paranoid driving. I was a way better driver when I drank. I heard an interview about Robin Williams. He went thru a weed phase and it made him a paranoid wreck. He would jump up and go to the window looking for cops a few times a minute. Nobody wanted to get high with him, major buzz kill. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
