• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

HAPPY O'CANNIBIS DAY

When drunk driving deaths reached a certain level, we fought back with tougher laws and education.. and drunk driving accidents and deaths went down.
Same will happen with pot... which people have already been using forever.. it's just now out in the open. It's illegal to be under the influence of ANY substance that can impede your ability to drive. Oxycontin while driving should be a bigger concern than pot.....

Texting and driving causes far more accidents than DUI related ones do...…

SO true but we can't just let it happen because of something else that happens. you may not think it's wrong to get
run off the road by someone who is high on weed but i don't want it to be me. those who want to smoke it, well fine
by me i just want stricter enforcement when you get behind a wheel and you are very right about those who text &
drive. again tougher law on all of it to keep these people off the road.

US Constellation Brands is investing $5Billion CDN into Canadian cannabis company Canopy, and may eventually buy all of it. Shares up 30%. Who is Constellation Brands? Ever hear of Modelo and Corona Beer?

Also, Imperial Brands (aka Imperial Tobacco) investing $13.1Million in UK Cannabinoid Technologies

There's money to be made, just as it was with tobacco and alcohol. The upside is that non-intoxicating marijuana derived products such as CBD and hemp might finally rid themselves of the wrongful stigma that they don't deserve.

My entire career was in Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice/high risk security. Since the beginning I've favored legalizing all drugs; needless to say; that was/is a minority opinion in those circles.

The entire anti drug thrust of US LE, PSAs, and such is 180 degrees off base. This is not a supply side issue. There is no large scale buggy whip smuggling, or usage in the US (well................except for that vicious Amish Gang) for a reason. No demand for them.

Eliminate the demand for drugs (I AM NOT advocating this) and there won't be any smuggling etc.

The two projects I worked on in Afghanistan were two of the three legs of a tripartite counter narcotics program. Billions later---drug production, refining, and smuggling are as rampant as ever (see above).

In any event after decades of failed efforts at the cost to the tax payer/s of untold billions--drug usage is as common, or more so than ever.

As everyone knows---doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is the definition of sanity. ;)

I couldn't agree with you more!!!

My wife is a retired Pharmacist. When we lived back in Texas (early 1980s), she worked in a large hospital in Ft. Worth. This facility did a lot of eye and sinus 'work' (surgery). They used 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade
cocaine. They bought it in 1 oz. bottles.

Do you know what the retail price, through the high mark-up (well over 1000%) pharmaceutical chain, was back in the early 1980s?


Guess!



​

Guess again!!








Remember, in those days one ounce of pure coke had a street value of over $1,000









OK, guess one more time.

































$36!!!!



If drugs were legal, there wouldn't be any other than those necessary for normal medical uses. No one would be standing outside of a school trying to sell a 'Nickel Bag' is the stuff actually sold for 5 cents!!!!



More importantly, a true conservative has really only one core 'value.'

BE ACCOUNTABLE. That covers about everything.

Be accountable for ALL of your actions. YOU are responsible for making the decision as to whether or not you use drugs. It ain't my decision, or the government's decision. It is YOURS!!!

I really don't care if you OD. You did it to yourself! It's not like catching the flu, cancer, etc.

It ain't my job to pay for your hospital bills, incarceration costs, etc. Also, it will help clean up the gene pool.

Let's save those dollars for the folks who really need help and are trying to live a decent, productive life.

Joe T.,

I agree, the individual is responsible for their actions. But, I remember a thread in the not so distance past on here. It was about drs. over prescribing opioids which led to (supposed) dependency. In other words, it was not the patient's fault for their chemical dependency, but the drs. Okay, now back to the original topic of weed.
 
Hi folks,

It was just on my evening news. Oregon received $20 million in pot taxes in 2016 & $82 million in 2018 so far.

Hi from Canada, word on the street is that legal pot is much more expensive than street pot.

Actually, I have found that the price has gone down in California, even with the tax that is being charged. In addition all medicines are tested for nasty chemicals, anbd over all the quaility has improved. So you may not find the price to go up!

There is a HUGE difference in medical use; and recreational use. nojoke

Theoretically true but not actually true. Here in Nevada we already had "medical marijuana" when we moved here five years ago. There were signs all over the place for "Dr. Reefer" who would write you a prescription for weed if you said you had a headache. And weed was never sold at the drugstore with other medical drugs; it was and is sold in "dispensaries" that have bag upon bag of the stuff for sale and nothing else in the store (other than paraphernalia related to smoking the stuff). It was a joke, which was probably why Nevada recognized reality and legalized it for recreational use. I don't use it and never will, and now we're starting to get the smell of weed in public places, which is a thousand times more disgusting than even cigar smoke. Yuck! But if you're going to legalize it for "medical" use, just go direct to "recreational" because there will be no real difference other than adding a doctor as a middleman.

a problem that i have about it is i get a buzz when i am near someone who might be smoking the stuff

Sorry, but that is indeed baloney. The Air Force studied secondhand smoke extensively in the 1980s because that was the buzzword among those who came back positive on the piss test. The Air Force concluded you couldn't get a detectable amount of THC from marijuana as secondhand smoke even if you were locked in a closed room with a marijuana smoker for 8 hours or more. I can't post the affidavit of Dr. Naresh Jain that I used to enter in evidence as the prosecutor, but the same info is online in layman form at: https://teens.drugabuse.gov/blog/post/secondhand-marijuana-smoke

My bad. It's not second hand smoke. I took a closer look at the set up.

You may be right, although it makes me wonder if it's more of an allergic reaction than an actual effect of delta-9 THC. Or perhaps it's a little of both. Touche.
At least you don't have to worry about coming back positive on an Air Force piss test.
