    And our taxes are roughly the same.

    :-O
    That's ridiculous! How does that align with what you guys paid pre-legalization? I've seen some pretty outrageous prices in the states....but 35/gr? wow. That's like 70 for four joints - a good weekend afternoon/evening. That is more expensive than any other drug around here....can get an evening's supply of coke for 50 here.

    What's the deal with growing in legal states? Can you get a license for a small home grow?

    I smoked more weed back in the day than all you youngsters put together.

    I'm still a hippie liberal but, gotta tell you, I'm not in favor of legalized weed. this new shit is just TOO POTENT!

    yeah, TOO POTENT! decriminalized, yes....legalized, no.

    Too potent for YOU, so lets NOT legalize it.

    relax......go smoke a bowl.....but, careful, this shit is really potent!

    Why are you telling me to relax? I'm like really quite relaxed, You don't seem relaxed,
    -
    If you had an opportunity to vote to legalize it or not, would you really vote to keep it from being 'truly legal'?

    Jeez....I feel like I'm in the Moving Train.

    on the last page, someone mentioned eating cookies that put them in a "semi-retarded state".....my point is, with the new stuff, I'm not sure sure you can just get a little stoned...it seems like, one hit and you're fucked up.

    maybe they make some legal weaker stuff....I just know you can have a drink or two and just be mellow...not sure that's true with legal weed.

    I'd vote to decriminalize it but not make it legal.

    Right, so Because you (and some others) can't handle it, it should be only 'decriminalized'...How pathetic!

    On top of that, you think they should make 'legal weaker stuff'...

    X_X

    If I wanna eat,smke,vape and sit in a retarded like state, then that is my own issue, my own thing.

    again, Idris.....relax.

    you have your opinion, I have mine. but don't worry.....I don't really care that much, one way or the other, to be writing to my senator or protesting against or sending letters to the editor or whatever. It's just my opinion and you're awfully judgemental to label it "pathetic."

    feel free to get into a semi retarded state today....I'm assuming you won't be behind the wheel.

    not sure why you're getting all defensive with idris....you stated your opinion but seem to want to brush him off instead of elaborating....your choice.... 'feel like I'm on AMT'....well...this is a thread about a law, and you gave an opinion, so.....why not discuss it? Shouldn't be a big deal, right?
    why do you prefer decrim? There are so many layers of hypocrisy in decrim legislation - it's almost always a sham. 'You can possess up to xx grams, after that you're a criminal'....so it must just magically appear. It also encourages the black market. The only reason decrim should even be a consideration (imho), is to avoid taxes that drive the price to 35/gr.

    That's the recreational prices. And if I can get a receipt for weed?? I'll pay a little extra.. As for pre legalization. It was never that high.. I'm sure once everything settles into place on cue.. Things will moderate out better. But for now.. I'll gladly take waking into a store buying pit, and cops can't fucking say shit!! I got a receipt!! Lol anyhow. I don't consume much so those prices even out for me.. So I have no complaints..

    As for growing.. I don't know about for personal use.. I know you can grow for dispensaries and have a grower's license. I'll look into that.

    Those prices are nuts (35 a gram). Top shelf here is $20 a gram ($65 1/8ths), $15 for mids ($50 1/8ths). That includes the state taxes in the prices as most of the dispensaries just add it in to their displayed prices. The prices are equivalent to the black market. I used to love one shop that did an upgrade on your 1/8th to make it a 4 gram eighth for an extra $5.

    For growing there is 1 place in the US where it is still illegal but you can license a small grow. Humboldt County in Cali is famous for it. I grew up a couple hours away from there in Nor Cal and almost all of our bud back then came from there. People buy cabins there just to grow.

    Haven't seen this one, but I love the dude and will search it out.

    cdy, the prices here are pretty consistent (with sales tax added on - OK by me), and both places I frequent offer special deals - wax, plant, pre-roll, free eighth, etc.

    Offers I can't refuse! Though have yet to try my hand at a plant or attempt to wax.

    Vaping is awful it raises your resistance so much it is hard to get the same high smoking pot afterwards

    Isn't that why people vape? To stop smoking it?

    some people vape to quit tobacco.

    If one vapes THC oil in public, the oil looks exactly like tobacco oil...so, nobody is the wiser. .

    I prefer oil over flowers.

    Just got reminded i need to make rice krispie treats...sorry, I've been sick the last few weeks. I didn't forget ;)

    I vaped to quit tobacco and it was the best thing I did the last few years. My general health is much better now. No more hawking loogies into the sink after brushing teeth. No more bronchitis. No more sinus infections.

    I bought my wife the attachment for my ecig mod with hopes she (and me of course, buying it for her is an excuse) will be able to smoke out in public. Although it vapes dry herb and concentrates which of course have an odor it shouldn't be too bad if vaped right and not burned. I would love to try the oils as I already have all the equipment to do it but I'm a big time strain snob. I have about 20-25 strains I prefer and I can't find it in those strains. Only stupid blue dream is available here by me that isnt a Indica or Hybrid.

    I believe the stuff has medicinal properties as it wasn't meant to be created for nothing, but I don't believe smoking anything is healthy for you, think cake, biscuits, tea or straight oil is better method, if it's legalised I would take it if it was proven to help me with something or just pleasure

    Science proves smoking pot isn't that bad:

    *notice the '.org' in the website

    Is the notice the .org part sarcastic? Having .org in the website doesn't make it legitimate or factual.

    "While researchers found that marijuana users who smoked joints reported coughing and a sore throat, symptoms of bronchitis, they attributed them to the use of rolling papers, especially since those who used vaporizers reported similar problems less often."

    Did it really take a study to figure out that if you put smoke into your lungs, tobacco or weed, that it would cause bronchitis like symptoms more frequently that those who don't put smoke into their lungs?

    I'm not bashing your ideology rckcndy, I agree with you. I just found that line to be stating the obvious.

    I got the Yokan Mak a couple of days ago but havent been able to test it. Apparently you need these small glass discs to put in between the herb and the coil. It doesnt come standard and the site I bought it from didn't mention it. As soon as I got it I could tell something was wrong as the heating coil is exposed and touches the herb so it will just light it on fire instead of vaporizing it. The glass discs have small holes for air but adds a buffer between the two. Will update later this week once the discs get to my house on how it worked vaping dry herb. I will try and add a photo of the unit so you can see the size of it. It looks perfect to take to shows or out in public.

    Cool. What did that run you? Including having to order the discs?
