Obama should reschedule Marijuana, and then claim the benefits for Obamacare.

Crohn's or UC?

How much did it take to get your symptoms under control?

I think that this is a good reason for decriminalization. If we look at alcohol prohibition, it was doomed to failure because a broad segment of the population ignored it, including at least one sitting president. I do not believe that the laws against alcohol were anywhere near as damaging as those against marijauna. which can affect the entire future of a young adult. Add to that drug testing, which can stigmatize individuals, sometimes by error. I really believe that if drug laws were blindly enforced, with no regard for race, social position, wealth, decriminalization would have occurred long ago.

So we now have a dual system where middle and upper class white kids are treated differently, including having the ability to experiment on college campuses relatively free from police oversight.

I'm still amazed at the number of conservatives who bitch about $5000 per year worth of welfare or other social benefits but are ok with $20000 to $30000 in per capita prison costs.

interesting that my employer (Colorado-based, just to be on-topic) has a drugs/alcohol policy based on the fact that these are intoxicants therefore making you a fucking menace in the workplace, not specifically because they're illegal although that is added as an afterthought.
that covers opiates so whether you're prescribed codeine for post-surgery analgesia or you're a street heroin jacking-up junkie, if you test positive on a random mandatory drug test you're in the shit.
quite right too for me, I don't want to trust my safety on a hazardous work site to some space cadet, legal or not.

that said, the so called 'war on drugs' was lost since even the repeal of the Volstead Act but the only reason for governments across the world and across the political divide to keep maintaining this fiction is to have a really neat way of imposing draconian suppression measures on a law-abiding but free-spirited population

Because the Lion's share of federal revenue came from alcohol, before the Volstead Act could be passed the Personal Income Tax had to be instituted to take up the slack. Of course when prohibition was repealed the Income Tax wasn't.

I wonder just how long the Fed and States can resist the lure of tax revenues of biblical proportions. Were talking 20% in CO.

Pay to Play

Stores opened a couple minutes ago, at High Noon. Get it?

So far, no riots over Doritos or Domino's. The price is expected to be in the $20 to 30 per gram range, approximately double the price of medicinal Marijuana.

High weigh robbery!

That better be some good fucking herb.

It'll never work, potheads ain't gonna pay crazy money for weed just because it's legal.

Maybe they're high.

I bet it will. Some times, people perceive value if the price is higher... Also the selection will be better. Regardless, they'll make most of their profits in accessories.

This worked out to $8.50/gram, $60/qtr oz, back in April. Can't wait til fall.:drool:

:joint:

Re: Legal pot not working....yeah, I think that was a joke.

Had to be.

Oh, people around here will pay 20-30 a gram, they're stupid, but, they'll pay it.

They won't get as high as me...but, they can pay it.

I'll be over here on the couch, watchin porn an eatin Cheetos.

Ever try a vaporizer?

Sadly true with so many products. :(
