Canada is legalizing pot

Texas will get on board once all the dum dums are shown how much money can be made


I’ve always thought a rural legislator could add on an amendment to a legalization bill that makes grow operations legal only in counties with less than 100,000 people. It’d be a boon to rural economies. But then I realized they’re rural legislators for a reason. They’re dumb fucks.

Is this the de facto weed legalization thread?

Because another neighbor to the north has legalized "medical" marijuana, to be recommended for whatever ails you.

Will it be 3.2% THC?

...The proposed law outlines no qualifying conditions, which would allow physicians to authorize its use for a broad range of ailments...

...Under the proposed law, a two-year medical marijuana license would allow someone to possess up to 8 ounces of marijuana, six mature plants and six seedlings, along with edibles and concentrated forms of the drug....

So where in OK does one go to buy this legal weed? Casino?

Legal medical marijuana

You will need to take your love of weed back problem to a physician to obtain a prescription. Then get it filled at a registered nonprofit dispensary

The measure would provide for the licensing of medical marijuana recipients, dispensaries, commercial growers, and processors. An office within the Oklahoma State Department of Health would be created to review applications and issue licenses.[1]

An individual 18 years old or older who wants to obtain a medical marijuana license would need a board-certified physician's signature. An individual under the age of 18 would need the signatures of two physicians and his or her parent or legal guardian. There would be no qualifying conditions, but a doctor would be required to sign according to "accepted standards a reasonable and prudent physician would follow when recommending or approving any medication." Licenses would cost $100 and last two years. Recipients of Medicaid, Medicare, or SoonerCare would pay $20 for a license. Caregiver licensees would also be available.[1]

Individuals possessing a medical marijuana license would be authorized to consume marijuana and possess up to three ounces on their persons, six mature and six seedling marijuana plants, up to one ounce of concentrated marijuana, up to 72 ounces of edible marijuana, and up to eight ounces of marijuana in their residences. Local governments would be empowered to enact guidelines allowing recipients to exceed the state-mandated possession limits. Possessing up to 1.5 ounces of marijuana without a license but with a medical condition would be deemed a misdemeanor.[1]

 

Possesion of up to 1.5 oz by a person who can state a medical condition but does not possess a medical marijuana license constitues misdemeanor offense with a fine up to $400

I find it interesting that the medical need which was the entry point for the marijuana reform folks has become the mechanism by which the state will control the stuff. Will wonders ever cease?

I'm disappointed that they attempted to hang onto a shred of the "medical" charade by requiring the recommendation be from an MD or DO. Chiropractors, homeopaths, and naturopaths need to step up their lobbying game next session. They have been recommending sham treatments for decades.

If there is medically superior option to smoking a bowl for a hangover cure I'd be real curious to hear it.

It's already getting fucked up.

 

SWIM was in Vegas a while ba...

 

Wait, it was me. I can say whatever I want on the Internet about it, because it was legal there.

 

Anyhow, my wife and I went to Vegas and went into one of the cannabis dispensaries (they don't sell "marijuana" or "weed," it's "cannabis").

 

The focus of the shop -- as others, going by their websites -- was edibles, oils, vapor cartridges, and shatter. Not even good ol' hash like you'd find in Amsterdam back in the day.

 

Sure, there was flower bud, but it was clear that the new generation is into whatever gets them highest the hardest and fastest. Which is edibles, oils, vapor cartridges, and shatter.

 

It is obvious why the dispensaries were pushing these products -- they give a quick, heavy high, and they have a higher profit margin. You can more easily manipulate the CBD and THC content with a solution than you can with the plant itself. They are also more easily transported and the high/shelf space ratio is much higher.

 

Back in the day, my image of future legalization -- probably happening sometime in my 60s, maybe, if I was lucky -- was just straight-up striking marijuana laws from the books and allowing people to grow and smoke for personal use. Let the hippies do their thing, and whatever, man.

 

But capitalism always gets in the way of good hippie ideas, and the profit motive is king with the wave of legalization. Businesses -- I believe Colorado is only permitting local companies to participate for now -- are always going to find the most cost-effective means of getting their customers hiiiiiiiiiiigggggghhhhh AF. And the government is going to let them keep doing it so long as they get their taxes. Once the reins are off, and Altria, Reynolds, AB InBev, etc., get their hands in it, it's all over. Kids are going to zoning out on dabs and -- worst of all -- no one is going to know how to roll a joint anymore.

Russian mob and the cartels control most of the legal weed market in CO per people I’ve talked to here in Denver.

Not his finest moment.

Here's another doozie.  I watched this episode recently and would have sworn it was said by Friday but this IMDB quote attributes it to someone else.

"Sergeant Joe Friday: Yeah, and you get a little weary of hearing every kid give you the same excuse when you tag them. You don't understand. I just want to belong that's why I did it. Belong to what? 

Capt. Lou Richey: What it boils down to is the new morality, doesn't it, a new set of values. God is dead. Drug addiction is mind expanding. Promiscuity is glamorous. Even homosexuality is praiseworthy. How you gonna fight that?"
