At least you still have options.I have a bad feeling my state won't pass it on this novembers ballot.Backward thinking Southern Christian mentality.SMH
I just don't get the mentality behind making it unavailable, let alone kept illegal.
Had lunch with my mom yesterday and mentioned how my husband and I use it for both recreational and medical purposes. She was concerned we haven't done "extensive research" on it before partaking on a regular basis.
Talk about shaking my head! I told her, look - I've been smoking it for 35 years and my husband a few years less, but we're both consistent users of it. This isn't a point of bragging but of common sense / responsibility - we're intelligent and well-spoken, exercise integrity, make a decent living through good and stable jobs at which we kick ass, own our home, etc.
Not stereotypical "stoners".
And, we're drops in that bucket.
What state are you in, rr? I think you've mentioned SC before...though my short-term memory ain't the best
Florida Hedo.Now don't get me wrong,illegal,legal it is so easy to get anyway here.It would be nice for those who need it medically though to have some dispensaries.I watch a debate the other night with a Pro weed lawyer vs A uptight sheriff .The Sheriff thinks all he'll will break loose,the sky will fall and hippies will take over.Its a fucking joke that in 2014 we are still so backwards in progressive thinking in some parts of the country.
Heard that Colorado is banning the sale of edibles for Halloween, out of fear that candy, suckers and the like will be given out. Overkill and somewhat paranoid, to me.

Was the lawyer John Morgan? - I hope we get the votes, and I think we will, buuut its a very tight bill, its not going to be anything like California/Colorado etc.

Ohio is not far ahead, but hopefully it will turn around in a few years. Our old folks head down to Florida (Florida and Ohio are pretty tightly connected in a few ways) so maybe in a few years us youngsters will get to the polls in great enough numbers.

Here's one for you. My grandma lives in Colorado and has chronic pain from losing an eye. She has to take Oxy to negate the pain and then she deals with nausea and loss of appetite, as well as being out of her gourd on such a serious drug. Her ex-military (read:asshole) husband didn't approve of her smoking because it was illegal. Now it's all legal and he still doesn't approve because he bought into the stigma back in his day. Asshat would rather her take oxys and drool on herself. Luckily, my uncle visits her and burns her down when he can...and when asshat plucks up the balls to get mouthy Uncle threatens to beat him down in an irreparable way...and means it!
Damn, gambs...to deny anyone, let alone someone you love - your wife! - something that brings relief without awful side-effects. Again, I can't get my head around it. Some people (I guess it's a generational thing) simply refuse to accept its benefits after being told so long that it's "bad" and a gateway thing.
This is the kind of issue where voting actually DOES make a difference. I've somewhat given up on it as relates to politicians - seems nothing ever changes - but I feel like I actually have a voice on propositions.
And yeah, Ohio and Florida! My husband is from Columbus, and when his mom was alive, she and her husband had a place in Florida where they spent winters.
Anybody here listen to Todd Snider at all? He's sort of an Arlo Guthrie type folk singer. He's about equal thirds of comedy, folk guitar, and protest music. Good fun my wife and I caught a show last weekend and he played both sets barefoot and ribbed a drunk hillbilly in the crowd hilariously.

i'm a HUGE todd fan! seen him live almost 20 times and once blew a j with him backstage...he's an awesome dude
edit to add that if anyone is interested in listening to him, my advice is to listen to his live album 'near truths and hotel rooms'. it gives a new listener a great introduction to him

Fucking awesome! I like the new album Agnostic Hymns and Stoner Fables quite a bit, but unfortunately the crowd just wanted to hear Beer Run. @-)
So I just saw the video from both playing together at "Live at Farm Aid 2012" and learned that Lukas is Willie Nelsons son. Slowly raising my horizon of foreign music !
I've seen this before and LOVE it. Looks like a precious bond between them.
I don't know why I always thought Lukas was his grandson! I guess it's kind of like when my dad and sister would cat about town, and most people assumed he was her grandpa, given the more-than-typical age difference.
Willie's done some really nice covers, by the way. I like how he and Cash took on different genres of music, and then nailed it.

^^^ Yeah, both those guys are/were great. Their work with Highwayman with Kris and Waylon was really good too.
Willie's one of my heroes. Only seen him and his family band once but oh, what a show! And I very much like his book The Tao of Willie. Great stuff.

He's one of mine too, B! I just adore him (and have been on a big Highwaymen kick the last few months).
Envious of you having seen him - given his age (81!!), I doubt I'll have a chance. Then again, you have quite an impressive set of notches on your belt of performances attended.

No idea about the chick though.
And WJ has some intense eyes. Cool motherfucker.

And I love how Lukas sounds so much like his grandpa.
Beautiful, the both of them.

I've definitely gotta read that book.
