Well lets make it legal and when everyone is a pothead lost in lalaland ala Cheech and Chong we can reassess the 'danger'

[petrus4]

Everyone here already knows about the medical benefits of weed, so I don't need to go into that.  If you don't, I'd advise watching the two documentaries about Jack Herer and Rick Simpson, which are hopefully still on YouTube.

With that said, as a smoker myself, I will honestly tell you that cannabis does have a single potential danger that I know of.  I have personally had a momentary psychotic (as in, extreme fear and paranoia) break from smoking particularly Sativa dominant bud in a joint, with equally Sativa dominant hashish, and tobacco.  I have also had reasonably severe paranoia on other occasions as well, and every single time it was due to smoking Sativa specifically.  I have also noticed that tobacco can induce paranoia in me on its' own as well, and will make the Sativa paranoia worse if I smoke them together.

Know your strains, kids.  Be very, very specific about them.  For fun and medicinal smoking, you want Indica dominant hybrids.  I am not intending to demonise or condemn Sativa strains in any way here, but I will say that I consider Sativa to be much better for weed's industrial uses; hempseed, hempcrete, rope, canvas and such.  As far as I know, before criminalisation that was fairly common knowledge.  The very fact that Sativa usually has less resin means that it is easier to industrially process anyway.

Do you truly consider it rational to assume that every single person on the planet is going to immediately become a 24/7 smoker, once cannabis is legal?  I do not.

Typical comment from someone who obviously knows nothing about being a "pothead."

Cannabis combined with radiotherapy can make brain cancer 'disappear,' study claims — RT News

No only 80% of Amerikans

I do not.

So you don't admit that SOME will be pot heads and zone out in lalaland?

LOL

Look what I find amusing in all this is that the ones who want to become potheads are pushing for MEDICAL benefits of MJ. There is NO QUESTION that there are tremendous medical benefits... but the smokers don't really care about that or the myriad uses of hemp

They just want Lalaland

[ArMaP]

One thing I find funny in this whole situation is how, apparently, people in the US are so obsessed by it, it's almost a religious thing.

Typical comment...

from someone who obviously knows nothing about being a "pothead."

Back in my high school days in Toronto I knew many people that were "potheads"... in those days those who wanted to smoke did... it wasn't the serious crime as it turned into in the US.  The ones who smoked didn't give a damn about the "medical uses"  In fact that was rarely if ever even brought up because in the early 70's it was all about 'doing your own thing'  Free Love get high...

Those friends that did smoke  were high a lot... When they were high they were giggling at everything, and very slow reaction time. We used to tease them when they were high


Here in Vegas pot smoking was going on all the time with the Teamsters at the convention center.  Yes we all KNOW that people should not smoke and drive forklift just like they should not drink and drive.  But they do anyway... and yeah  its dangerous for the rest of us

But see? Here you go again... using a Cancer Cure link  to address my point of Zombie Apocalypse Lalaland Potheads

The two are NOT the same.

For the record:

I have ALWAYS said it should be LEGAL.  It is easier to control it, get the drug lord out of it and save us tons of money in law enforcement, jail cells and ruined lives. Arrest should ONLY be made for abuse same as we arrest drunks and hold them responsible for what they do under the influence

I KNOW the weed is full of medical ingredients that can cure all sorts of things

I KNOW that hemp has a thousand and one uses  I use hemp rope exclusively for my Medieval stuff and that was all we used on the old Schooner...

So stop comparing apples and hand grenades

I know human nature   Potheads will be everywhere  especially in the beginning

[zorgon]

So Thor...

are YOU going to be at Hemp Con?



I would LOVE to have been there at setup  LOL  Hear the gossip from the Teamsters

It would be hilarious considering the current random testing if you so much as bump a crate

[zorgon]

One thing I find funny in this whole situation is how, apparently, people in the US are so obsessed by it, it's almost a religious thing.

This has been my point   The obsession is for smoking it  with the cover story of hemp use and medical benefits.


BTW  John Lear has obtained Medical MJ and it has helped him tremendously. His wife got it but had the wrong strain the first time and it did nothing. Someone got her the right stuff  concentrated and it is working

Will update you on that  When Sgt does the Great Deumstick Caper 

[zorgon]

And yes Nevada has Legalized medical MJ for some time

[thorfourwinds]

I know human nature   Potheads will be everywhere  especially in the beginning

So, how come Colorado is not all 'lalaland'?

[zorgon]

So, how come Colorado is not all 'lalaland'?

Haven't been there yet to check out the results

LOL Maybe Pegasus can get in on the action and make a few million   Won't be long before it's legal here

But we will only ship Local

[thorfourwinds]

So Thor...

are YOU going to be at Hemp Con?

Sure would be an exhilarating experience for me, personally, considering my 4 decades 'in the bus'. 

[zorgon]

Well if ya make it stop by the house

So how goes the battle on the Home Front?
