Marijuana

[Sir Jeffrey]

marijuana use is not an effective method for coping with life's problems, and staying high can be a way of simply not dealing with the problems and challenges and I will continue to fight it, but not if there is a medical use for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So people can stay drunk but smoke a weed (not paying taxes on it) from your back yard and go to jail and ruin your life. Makes sense, NOT!!!

[Sir Jeffrey]

"Marijuana addiction is very much a possibility, producing cravings similar to other drugs."

So are pain pills but I guess those are taxed.

[Sir Jeffrey]

I'm going to have to run some tests of my own. I won't be doing any driving today anyway.   :

ROFLMAO test away!!!!

One ounce of marijuana today is $375. If Californians vote for Prop 19 or if the state legislature and Governor approve AB 2254, the price could drop to $38 per ounce, says the RAND Corporation in a study released today. Called Altered State? Assessing How Marijuana Legalization in California Could Influence Marijuana Consumption and Public Budgets, the report examines the likely increase in usage, how much tax revenue could be generated and other issues.

One issue especially may be highly debated over the coming months. It's often said that legalizing marijuana will free the state from enforcing the drug. But RAND "estimates that the cost of enforcing the current laws probably totals less than $300 million." Whether that's true or not, it could become a focal point of the opposition.

Other findings incude the increase of usage, which could be 50 to 100% more than now, matching the 1970s. Despite that increase, researchers feel tax revenues will not blow away the charts.

"A fixed excise tax per ounce may give producers and users an incentive to shift to smaller quantities of higher-potency forms of marijuana," said study co-author Jonathan P. Caulkins of Carnegie Mellon University. He said that kind of shift would be one factor that could lower revenues collected from marijuana taxes.

Even at current estimates, legalizing and taxing marijuana would not fix the state budget. That sort of notion is "offensively false" to Mark Kleiman, a UCLA Professor of Public Policy who said that on KPCC's Air Talk on Monday. Marijuana would bring in $1.4 billion to the state, according to a state analysis. That amount helps, but wouldn't fix the nearly $20 billion budget gap the state currently faces.

I want to see this "high potency" marijuana that the "experts" talk about so much. I've tried hydro and it is very short lived. Comes on fast and leaves even faster. Nothing, these days, matches the stuff of my youth. Acapulco Gold, Columbian or Wowie Maui puts all the current stuff to shame. I could grow better stuff in my front yard that is currently available.

Also, we see, from an earlier cut-n-paste post(I thought we weren't supposed to cut-n-paste) that marijuana users STAY high to avoid dealing with life's problems. Stereotypical bullshit ONCE again from Mr. Reefer Madness. Why can't smoking just be to feel good for a couple of hours while I listen to music or watch a movie. Me and my "hippie" wife have worked more than one job to pay off some debt and we're almost there so WHO am I hurting? 99% of the time, I'm sober and quite functional. Even during those times that I actually am able to find some of this HIGH QUALITY DEMON WEED, I can STILL function. Somebody has been watching too many Cheech and Chong movies AND believing them. I guess I have to give him SOME credit for at least allowing medical marijuana into his list of possibles. If nothing else, I'd like to see it made legal and OFF the radar of ALL law enforcement(including the jackbooted DEA!).

"I'm STILL gonna fight the illegal status though. That will cancel out one vote for and one vote against. THAT'S PROGRESS Washington style!!!  ::D: ::D: ::D: ::D: ::D: ::D: ::D: ::D: ::D: ::D: ::D:

The anti-pot rhetoric makes me wonder how so many could be BS'd into believing all that crappola. But....then again....Dubya the cokehead got elected twice. He's also the one that decided that we need to stop wasting our time looking for meth and crank and go straight to the "gateway drug". I got news for America...todays kids are skipping pot altogether and going straight for the chemicals. You want addiction and home invasion type robberies, let junior run out of Lortab or Zanex. Pot smokers go to sleep, the chemical kids go break into grandmas house.

Jam, I'll substantiate your assertion kids of today are bypassing pot and going for the pharmies - court records don't lie, these kids are on probation for robbing their parents drug cabinets and selling Xanax, etc. on the schoolyards and on the streets.  Nothing like a ground-up Oxy to snort...the effects will last a helluva lot longer than a joint.  At best, kids today are selling pot to older generations because they are the ones who know where to find it. ::)

[hammondjam]

I don't see Mexican Ditch Weed in that assortment. That's the most common variety here. If the Islamic political pressure in Amsterdam has it's way, there won't be any of those amazing choices anymore. BS comes in many varieties whether it is government/corporative misinformation in the States or religious BS in Europe.

I'm glad that I'm more than half way to my dirt nap. The stupidity of many of my fellow humans is almost too much to take sometimes. Until then though, I'll enjoy life like I want to.

We used to have some nice baby hippie kids living across the street. They would get together upstairs and partake while listening to Phish or Widespread Panic. Nobody got hurt and nobody got sick. THEN, we got some frat boys(not the present ones) that were standing in the street doling out pills to each other while drinking whiskey and beer. Pretty soon, the fights were on. Bottles got broke all over the place and the neighborhood got woke up.

WE know this but, unfortunately, much of the country is too easily led into fear of the unknown. Ya want dangerous ingredients...read the labels on your food and look up the big words! Pot's illegal but saccharin and aspartame is still sold with the blessing of the government.

[WhatMeWorry?]

Most of the modern marijuana strains are the result of taking the good strains from the "old days" and breeding them for desired traits. Thanks Gregor Mendel!

There is no super weed. There are just more stable(read consistent and marketable) strains.

And even the most "powerful" weed strains dont kill people.

Smoke this pot that might kill you, isnt a successful MJ marketing strategy. Smoke this pot that will make you eat 12 burritos from Taco Bell would be.

Moonshine, meth and coke users look for stuff that can kill them it is so "good".
