I just got OKed for medical marijuana on Friday by my doctor for PTSD and degenerative disk disease.. I didn’t even ask for it. I’m not going to go with a medical card, at least until I it’s legalized federally for this very reason.

Why did you decide to use the term 'potheads' in the thread title?

huh
 Quoting: WOLF*


Because I differentiate between those who choose to use marijuana for sport and those that use it all of the time. IMHO, those who use it daily are the ones that have to be careful or be caught. Those who choose to imbibe in substances of any kind when they feel like it and do not when they choose are not the ones that will be suffering at all from this turn of events.
 Quoting: Black Knight


Like caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, sex?

I'm so glad you are the moral arbiter of responsibility for everyone.

Oh yeah, does that " daily use" include patients prescribed Marinol? Just want to know how I should feel about these oncological, epileptic, chronic pain patients I dispense this drug too.

How about fuck that law, and just make people responsible for their action?

SHEEEESH

The problem is that you are trying to communicate with potheads.
Everything for them revolves around getting, and consuming, pot, and they are paranoid as hell about not being able to feed their addiction.

Re: Hey Pot Heads, Are You Ready To Choose....
There are many problems that this legalization issue has raised and only time will tell how it all plays out. it will certainly not eliminate the Black Market availability of the substance, for taxed weed must surely be more expensive than BM weed. How Law Enforcement can determine the difference between legal and illegal weed is another problem. While I have never had any moral issues with smoking pot, I find myself not being able to answer the question of whether legalizing it will create a more motivated group of individuals to get out there and get the job done and get more involved in their communities or not. We are finding that medical marijuana smokers tend to have pot smoking children (my daughter has two in her 8th grade class) and I have never felt that getting high and learning go hand in hand too well if you know what I am saying. It is certainly going to get a lot more complicated, that is for sure.
 Quoting: Black Knight


There is very little black market for weed here, I’m in a recreational state. I moved here from a non-recreational state about 2 years ago... Let me tell you, you won’t ever buy weed from a drug dealer again after buying from a dispensary. The price is comparable as well.. best part is that you are buying weed that has been tested and weighed out legally...so even if it’s more money it’s worth the quality/correct weight/safety (no mold)/legal risk.

Law enforcement can easily tell if weed is from a dispensary or a drug dealer...because the rules and regulations make the dispensaries label everything buy weight/time.date stamp. So it’s easy to tell the difference between a non labeled sandwich bag compared to a child safe container with a sticker labeling what’s inside.

The tax itself here is 20% which is outrageous but the tax doesn’t exist if you are a medical patient or caregiver. The tax revenue in the past calendar year put 80 million back into the state, how about that? That’s something those potheads contributed to.

I don’t understand why you are concerned about anyone’s motivation, you sound paranoid....a lot of potheads are lazy fucks but a lot of people who smoke weed, have good jobs, are creative, talented, rich, etc...

The “we are finding” medical mj users tend to have pot smoking children is just a stupid thing to assume
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73008487


I guess I did not state it very well about the pot smoking kids of MMJ users. There are two that I know in my daughter's class and both of the kids are Stoners starting when they were 12. Both are at the bottom of their class and do not appear to have learned much and do not aspire to be much after their schooling is over. I believe it is the same with those kids that get into alcohol while still in grade or high school, these activities do not have a good effect on learning. Whether this problem is one to be concerned about or is widespread may not be able to be determined, but it is what concerns me.

And your point about some people being more creative while smoking can certainly be true. Being more motivated while high I would still argue. In the old days, organized crime ran the gambling, the drugs and the prostitution business and the government worked against them for whatever reasons, valid or not valid. Today as the government changes from working against such social distractions and becomes the supplier of these "once were vices" many of us who have watched the transition are having a hard time understanding what has changed and why it is "better" now. A question that perhaps cannot be answered.

There is no addiction because God designed the human body to metabolize cannabis with it's own receptors(just for Cannabis).

Your a devil worshiping Satanist, for you go against the will of God and persecute those who seek comfort and healing from the Plant of Renown.

Woe to them who call good evil and evil good, for how much greater will their torment be for their evil doing. Yes, to lie and seek to persecute those for the Plant of Renown, will cause you to burn.

Whether this problem is one to be concerned about or is widespread may not be able to be determined, but it is what concerns me.

And your point about some people being more creative while smoking can certainly be true. Being more motivated while high I would still argue. In the old days, organized crime ran the gambling, the drugs and the prostitution business and the government worked against them for whatever reasons, valid or not valid. Today as the government changes from working against such social distractions and becomes the supplier of these "once were vices" many of us who have watched the transition are having a hard time understanding what has changed and why it is "better" now. A question that perhaps cannot be answered.

The only reason it was outlawed was to persecute the hippies who where against the Vietnam War. The reason your having a "hard time figuring it out", is because you lack critical thinking skills and are easily brainwashed.

Given your ignorance thus far, without proof I'm inclined to believe that your full of shat, with your attempt at a convenient heartfelt attack on Cannabis in the beginning.

Cannabis is a cure for a multitude of ailments, and is the only safe intoxicant God designed. You should stop drinking alcohol, as it is shrinking your brain.

The Marihuana tax act came into effect in 1937.
But then, potheads have never been known to be concerned with facts.

Re: Hey Pot Heads, Are You Ready To Choose....
Hey folks, if you want to smoke pot recreationally then move to a state that allows it. I'm in Las Vegas and I have been buying pot legally here since July. It is actually a fucking blast. I have smoked weed on and off for 40 years. Since July I have visited 6 pot shops and sampled a wide variety of Indica and Sativa strains. I'm a solitary toker, and I don't buy much. I smoke 1 or 2 hits in the evening, so 1 gram lasts me about 2 weeks. It's fantastic having access to really good pot. And not having to worry about the police is pretty damn sweet.

How are the prices? per gram per oz? thanks
 Quoting: Turkey456


$15 to $25 per gram, which is outrageously expensive. Back in the day, I could get an ounce for that much. But as I said, 1 gram lasts me 2 weeks or more. And buying in small quantities lets me sample a wider variety. Ounces are around $300, I think, but I haven't really paid attention since I don't need ounces. There are also lots of edibles, dabs, oils, etc.
