    Default HAPPY O'CANNIBIS DAY

    According the the media and assorted other news information, Canada has become the First Country in the world to legalize , MARIJUHANA, POT, WEED, or what ever you want to call it. Supposebly the eyes of the world are upon us watching and waiting to see the outcome. Yesterday there were lineups blocks long to purchase products, and some websites crashed due to the overwhelming want/need to get their fix. I personally don't care either way. Kind of glad thad after a 96 year prohibition it is now legal. just think of all the ruined lives, due to a joint or a bag of pot only to have a criminal record for something that has been around for millenia. Just my thoughts. Any ideas, concerns thoughts , ideas ???

    No concerns, people who wants to smoke weed will smoke it wether its illegal or not so we might as well tax it. No different than alcohol which used to be illegal once upon a time.

    Default Good on Canada

    Hopefully they'll put more energy into medical research and hemp, and really start doing something about opioids.
    This should have been done decades ago, there and in the states.

    Default It's not as simple as it appears

    You may want to review research on the traffic crash trends in states that have legalized marijuana use as well as literature on the trends of adolescent cannabis use. Then review the research on the long term health effects early cannabis use has on the structure and function of the adolescent brain. Personally, I find motorcycling among the general public challenging enough without more stoned drivers on the road. But, that's just me.

    Hi SPYDERGUY1

    Re: The Dealer man does not charge tax on the sale.

    Oregon legalized it about 3 yrs or so ago. We are getting three times the tax from it that was predicted.

    Gene,

    Michigan has recreational legalization on the ballot; expect that it will pass. We, in michigan, will be allowed 12 plant per person. Course we don't have as good of growing conditions as you do, already three hard frosts for the year.

    Default Reality Bites

    It is the way of the world. I personally do not care whether a person gets high or drinks... same deal. The problem is that there are more people on the roads, cooking in restaurants, building Spyders that may not be "here". It seems everyone wants to escape from the reality we (humans) have created and this is just another way to get away for a while. We have had it in Colorado for a few years and they are getting a bunch of tax money... Guess what... they have several propositions on the ballot to raise taxes for roads, schools, essential services that the pot tax was supposed to go to.

    From personal experience the pot that is sold now is so much different than it was back in the day it is almost like I did not know what it was. I thought I would try it when it became legal and was really surprised by how potent it was. I took a few puffs and felt just like I was drunk. When I stood up initially I had trouble walking straight and so on, but in a couple of hours I was back to normal and went for a walk around the lake with a friend. Anyways... there is a song by Afroman... "Because I got high". If you would like a laugh.. listen to it... it starts off... "I was gonna clean my room, but then I got high. I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high....my room is still messed up and I know why, because I got high, ....."

    enjoy..

    I think it should be legal but I doubt I would waste my $ on it. I certainly wouldn't ride my Spyder or Jet-ski after smoking. Some people have enough hobbies and interests that getting stoned really is not needed? Maybe once in a while for Special Occasions!

    Imagine if Canada had a warm climate, with universal health care and legalized marijuana, it would be a mass exodus of young folk. I am imagining a new route for all the US blue hairs with their RVs driving to Canada for the summer just like the Canadian I-95 Convoy that heads down to Florida for winter. Some smart folk up there, an affordable trike(Ryker) and legalized marijuana in the same year

    It seems to be the wave of the future. It is an amazing plant if you get past the stigma associated with it. I make many products with it for the family only and it has worked wonders for them. It's a weed and can grow anywhere in your case perhaps indoors. As I see it though, big pharma will get involve in it and start modifing it with chemicals and upping the price and increasing the side effects....keep it pure stay away from pharmaciutical brands.....

    Default Mary Jane

    I have mixed feelings on legalizing the plant and or products with THC. I've had friends who have smoked it for years. Several have gone on to harder drugs. Some are still just smoking but much more laid back. Several developed alcohol dependency. I'm just not sure we can trust the hard users to stay off the highway when they are stoned. It's the same with alcohol. It's a huge issue but so is texting while driving. Do we really need to be stoned when we are out driving? I guess many think that they are not impaired. Only time will tell how the statistics stack up for or against it.

    Oklahoma (my home state) recently legalized medical marijuana (CBD). I was skeptical for some of the medical reasons of it's use. But, I have now changed my mind and am on CBD oil for pain. (Chronic Arthritis pain and fibromyalgia pain). It truly is a miracle drug. It's not a cure though. I experienced 95% less pain in my hands and muscles on my first dose of CBD. Even after the second dose I was skeptical and didn't think it was real. The loss of my chronic and debilitating pain that I have had for over 20 years is now at a level that I can actually manage it without a Loratab. At the height of my pain in my hands and muscles, I could barely get out of bed on my own nor even open a jar. Now I can do most everything that I could not do just a week ago, all because of the CBD oil. There needs to be more research on the medical uses of the CBD oil. Using the CBD oil for pain has enabled me to ride my Spyder longer and without excruciating pain. I am now a believer.

    I use this product for pain in my knees and other joints. I would not goe so far as to call it a life saver but it certainly is a life enhancer.

    It isn't designed to be a life saver, it is designed to be a pain reliever. It works for some but not others. Which I am not sure why, but I am sure there is a medical reason. I thought about getting the pain freeze, but with fibromyalgia there are just too many areas that would need to be covered and it would end up costing me a fortune in a very short period of time. The oil is taken every day and so far has taken care of all my pain with the exception of my migraines, which are neurological and not muscular or bone related.
