Too many fogie$* in office here...

(wish they'd quickly down a full bottle Everclear!)

I injected several marijuanas

Illinois just had news...

Free da Herb...legalize it, don't criticize it!

Legalize it, but don't corporatize it.....

I smoke Marijuana like a chimney. I used to smoke weed a few times a year behind closed doors. Recreational is newly legalized in localville. We call it "the new reality" and it is very strange. I wish I could send pictures of some of these products back to the 1970s....the advertising is unreal. The young folks use vaporizers, edibles, and CBD oil but the dispensaries still keep some low-priced flowers around for us aging flower children. The seeds aren't something you have to clean out of your < strikethrough > weed < /strikethrough > Marijuana or Cannabis any more, they cost $10 apiece for nonfeminized low-end strains!

I'm only allowed to grow six plants. Mine could all be male for all I know. I've never grown the stuff before in my life. It's a delightful addition to my garden--easy to care for, grows fast, lots of fun and makes me feel like a much better gardener than I actually am.

But......

The old men who bought the land when it was cheap because they never really could come back from Nam can't afford the taxes. They could lose their land if they can't sell their product--and they can't! The market is glutted. Most dispensary weed is grown in greenhouses. You can't just stop smoking it or cut back from buds to shake to pipe scrapings to "oh well". The growers who developed the strains you love, such as Jack Herer and Grandaddy Purple, are still going to trial in federal cases while we users cheerfully chomp CBD-infused chocolates and buy these things that are marketed as "prerolls"--a gram of sinsemilla wrapped up in a rolling paper with a cigarette filter at one end.

Mom and Pop farmers being driven off the land and into nursing homes or mental institutions is nothing new. I don't expect you to shed a tear for my Marijuana farmers when I have no tears left to shed for your strawberry farmers. I just hope that (collective) you will learn something from our mistakes.

Agribiz doesn't see anything special about Cannabis/Marijuana. It's just another way to make money to them.

I disagree. My life would have sucked a lot more without Marijuana. The Senior Citizens who risked their lives, went to jail, and frequently lost their families as well as their property to The War On Marijuana Growers deserve better than this.

Freedom is a joke, especially here... :rolleyes:

I don't, and the few times I ever tried it found it had no effect so wasn't worth the bother.

Despite the fact I don't do drugs I'm for legalizing most because I believe far more evil is done in the name of drug suppression by authorities than could ever be done by all the addicts on earth. In the U.S. the "war on drugs" has been used as an excuse to take away more and more of our rights over time.

Gotta go there sometime :D I'm planing on it for about 2 years now, just cannot find the time. Someday I will...

Vampires don't exist, the world is as ignorant as all of us combined!

Fuk Wisconsin, I'm moving!

Great news, well maybe... you will soon be able to legally smoke and grow your own weed in the ACT - unless the parasites they call the Australian Government overrules the ACT Government, and/or arrests you anyway...

Finally a government in Australia that has acknowledged something we call "reality"! I never thought I'd see the day...

That's how it started out in California, states legalized it, fed$ didn't care! :mad:

Four plants per household isn't very many, but it's still more fun to grow than to buy.

Harvesting earlier than I'd like because of bud rot, but haven't wanted to go to the dispensary in a dog's age. Sun grown makes a big difference: I planted crap seeds, but this is perfectly acceptable weed. Next year's will be better.

Sun-grown probably is great but you can't beat sodium halide running 24/7 until you want to start flowering. Once they are big and strong and then get their first taste of dark it starts bugging but even then you can trick it back into growing faster with more light than an average day can produce... ;) collect* a few seeds for a few generations and( weed out the males &c*) sooner or later you'll have super buds! :D

Depending on your latitude, outdoor can be very fine. But properly grown indoors with the right genetics, metal halide and/or high pressure sodium lamps, nutrients, ventilation, etc, you can get quality that rivals any cannabis grown anywhere. I'm retired from the business. Now in Canada we are limited to 4 plants. Back in the day when I did that sort of thing, that would be between 2-4 lbs every 3-4 months.

I'd be interested in trying it with aquaponics but here they'd arrest me...

Get the munchies, eat some fish! :D

I recall reading an article about growing hydroponically with Tilapia in the reservoir... it was interesting, but I was only interested in growing cannabis at the time.

I started aquaponics thinking, I'm going to try to get busted and then when they bust in I won't have any marijuana ha ha! Plus, I'm in apartment right now so I don't really get to garden outside of the spare room...

With so many receptors in the human brain, no apparent lethalithy and so many uses of hemp plants, I see no reason to demonize the entire thing. Especially for non drug use.
It just seems like an ancient companion plant to me, did very little research on that aspect, but it just seems like it's been with us for some time.

Those hypercultivated strains are a bit silly, though. It's like coca leaves, chew em all you like, but snorting yayo like a fiend? Dunno, about that.
That said, I don't smoke things and I don't really have an interest in marijuana, I get annoyed at stoners sometimes but I think in a more primitive setting it's one of the better things to do.
Same with mushrooms and the like, I don't have a problem with shamanic applications of it, but like above I'd be a bit concerned about someone who seeks out specifically bred hard stuff over a more or less naturally grown plant (cultivation of plants is ancient, after all).

Not interested in that, myself, either. Basically, if we allow coffee and coughhacko and liver-ex, we should allow coca leaves, ganja and shrooms, too, as long as it's not extreme levels.
I'm sure the shamen from back then did something else other than being drop dead high off their behinds, 24/7.

I stopped smoking tobacco and marijuana 3 months ago. I am sure that my lungs are much better now. I vape tasty cbd vape oil tincture instead of smoking. I am sure it is much healthier for my lungs and nasal tube, taste is better and effect is the same, but you can vape longer,than smoke. I was fighting with this for a very long period of time and it was pretty hard, but i've managed to do it and CBD oil helped me, knockoutcbd.com helped me!

Just passing the time, dding a Ubunutu 20 iso to usb.

I grow my own and I'm not afraid to say I like it just fine.

:D

This year's ladies are Afghan, Skunk #1, White Widow, and three homebrew homegrowns from last year's grow. This year's will definitely be better.

I've only gotten contact high once, never had the urge to do it deliberately, but I'm 10000000000% for hemp, and banning or criminalizing it is a crime in itself.
The human brain and body seem to be highly compatible with the stuff, we can smoke it or eat it, our brains have very eager receptors for it, it doesn't affect us in any truly negative way, we can eat the seeds of the plant and get quite a bit of nutrition out of it, and we can make clothes out of it.

I see it as a plant that simply must be part of ourselves, co evolved.

I don't like stoner culture tho, but that's not the fault of the plant. It's probably a very recent and new thing, I simply don't see the same 'breeding ground' for contemporary hemp drug use in the 'old times' (aka way before industrialism and maybe even the middle ages) and 'modernity'.

But I still can't do anything but approve. This must be a plant that is part of us. I simply do not believe in coincidences that are THIS positive, at least not in plants. No plant wants to die, they're all technically noxious, but various creatures have simply co evolved with some to withstand their counterattacks.

Anyone heard of hempcrete? It's pretty amazing stuff, used not only in the Smithsonian for its moisture regulating properties but also growing with builders*. :cool: Concrete does not insulate plus it expands and contracts!

True for cocaine by the way.

THC binds to a receptor for a natural neuropeptide called anandamide in the same way that morphine and heroin bind to endorphin receptors. All drugs have to mimic some natural neurohormone. Otherwise they wouldn't have any effect on us.

Yeah but that's refined coca leaves, right? I share the same notion of "stoner culture" with that.
I'm all for chewing coca leaves or having coca tea or whatever, and would never want to ban coca plants etc, nor do I want to ban cocaine but that stuff certainly goes beyond my fully supported 'natural' use.

What should be banned is supercancer, whoops, supermarkets!

I quit cigarettes at least 10 years ago, never did smoke the mary jane. I know people say it has no long term effects. I beg to differ. I watched 2 of my friends who were fairly smart, quick witted people turn into full on dumbasses after a few years of toking it up.

An ancient book said something to the effect of "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are advantageous."

Legal or not that stuff isn't a positive by any measure save for legitimate medicinal use as far as I'm concerned.

People vary a lot in their responses to marijuana. Most people suffer no harm from moderate use, but some have a dangerous intolerance to it and can have a psychotic breakdown if they smoke a strong form like skunk. I know because it happened to a friend of mine. To make matters worse, she became addicted to it, which is also unusual but it does happen.

The main argument for legalising it is that keeping it illegal keeps its distribution in the hands of criminals and that makes a bad situation worse.

Your two (let-alone 7.some-billion, no offence but as if we'd know you have any,,, tho opinions ironically :D) "friends" are not here to defend you?!. :p

I haven't smoked any pot for at least 4 or 5 months now, and don't feel the need to get any more.

Although, and that said, I don't plan on giving up completely ;)

(although I guess technically speaking you could say "I've given up" until I get some more :p)

But they do need to legalize it tho!

i havent smoked in a 5ish years, i would smoke if someone passed the joint to me tho. :D

my friends dont smoke, but they doesn't mind if i smoked.

Don't smoke.Never smoked.
I have no legal or moral objection, but the stuff smells like burning horse sh*t. Absolutely disgusting!
I have a neighbor who stands outside on his porch smokng that stuff at zero-dark-thirty, every morning. He has no medical condition, or none he has mentioned. There has to be something mentally deficient with someone who has to get high the very first thing in the morning, or maybe he is just an addict.

No coffee yet!? Texting tho. What else?

add: Naturally ;) there's different smells from strains.

Hydrocrazydone I'd guess? :p

Trump lost get over it! Haha...

Stamp racism out, smoke a j; no one pun to any gun nuts!

It looks like I'm a complete drug addict compared to you then ;)

I was offered some when I was at the bus stop, I think a couple of months ago now, and I do know another guy I could probably score through if I wanted to. But I figured while I'm trying to improve my mathematical skills, and learn more about programming, it might be easier if I didn't smoke any. Don't get me wrong, I can still do stuff on the computer even stoned out of my head (and have, even reinstalled entire distro's and setup them up to my liking while completely wasted), it just makes things a little sloooower if I did have a smoke. But given the strange times we are currently living in, I really should get completely stoned outta my head. So it's been a wonder I haven't rung up a few people to try and score yet... :p

Once or twice in over eight years for me, just so I can keep good jobs run by us hypocrites.

I randomly drink alcohol in small amounts, socially, any more than that and we're talking real
(frail-E[sub]x[/sub]) xxxmoronsxxx!

Cwizardone?

I really should buy some pot and have a smoke...

Possibly emotionally deficient but I doubt mentally deficient. I've known a number of people who work in high stress environments who "wake and bake:" (I never did) because they are calmer and, loose quote - "Shitstorms just roll off my back and I can deal instead of freak".

Deficient? How many people take anti-depressants or some form of serotonin uptake inhibitors these days to "deal"? or steroids in some form to "look better" or be more attractive or confidence building? Then, of course, there's the Two Martini Lunch and Starbucks... and nicotine despite it's highly publicized problems with delivery method? You can call them medicine or brunch but if they have ANY psychoactive or physical results, in reality they are drugs. By that metric a very large percentage of humanity is "deficient" and likely includes everyone reading or writing here and that would be a very small tip of an immense "iceberg".

Shopping at the supermarket, (living in cities and industrial zones expanding to everywhere if you think past our lives) where you don't know who did what, (or worse yet has 25 ingredients where there should be 8) is worse than (a 25+ year old) growing (aquaponically) n vaping your own. Plus,,, it doesn't come in some throw away plastic containers.

We're all taught by only humans running the shows.

A stone to the head will knock us off our horses!

Just buried a buddy a couple years ago. I asked Him :"Dave.How long you been smokin ?"
Since the war ! Ummm: " which one?"
NOOP. Wrong guess.
He was born in 1921 and checked out in....? 2014 or so.Walking dictionary of all tropical plant species.

Mentality of people telling people what to do, don't kill anyone or we'll give you a death sentence?!.

At this rate, right from wrong will either exist or not... :hattip:

Everyone knows salami is worse than weed.

Not to be a nit-picker (well... maybe a little bit ;) ) but not everyone agrees salami is bad for health, especially those who subscribe to Keto. I won't go into details as there are many especially of a food item that has existed and been consumed for almost 2500 years. Salami does have numerous proven health benefits (some somewhat rare) and only an unproven general link to negative impact purported to be inherent to any and all processed meats. Some people go so far as to promote the concept that NO meat is healthy. Yeah... Diet... what a religion. ;)

i havent smoked in years, i am just waiting it to be legalized.

then ill smoke a blunt/bong and celebrate ;)

If in a fact you have an opinion and some may believe opinions fact( or close enough )? It is still an opinion... the harsh and ironic reality is weed will make you really want salami.

Another one is would salami have been invented without weed?

Imagination is religion, we're all safe then out.

If we're lucky sooner than not, we'll realize there's only a handful of facts. Then maybe we can put them on top of the opinions?

A lot of people from my "state" are just getting a driver's license from the neighboring "state" or lengthening their commute! ;)
Tho,,, if I cross the "state lines" it is still "legal" for anyone there, just limited a bit for tourists... plus, crossing back with it could be an opinion.
