Some Dutch friends were lamenting how American states now have better cannabis laws then Netherlands which for decades was the hippy friendly weed capital. They shared a map on legal countries and I was surprised to see Thailand in the legal rec category. Turns out they moved that way this year and even released prisoners still serving terms for decriminalised sentences. A rare smart move from that Autocratic regime. Surprised that hadn't been bigger news with it being a major hub for tourism and the sleazier kinds of tourist.

that's interesting about Thailand, I wonder if that includes any industrial-scale production. to be honest recreational use was always a $5 bribe away

The Thai government has been encouraging households to grow their own cannabis, and they are even supplying the clones to do so. So there's not really the market anymore for industrial sized grows for the Thai black market. Saying that, I can see Thai companies growing cannabis for other markets. Much of the UK medi weed is grown elsewhere.

I watched some crazy videos from the thai dispensaries. They look like the ones in Oakland from back in 2015ish. Makes me want to give up on America and move over there.

i say swears online posted:uhhh how many people have federal possession charges and not trafficking? lol I think this is mainly going to be old convictions at this point, but it affects thousands of people. The majority of these types of charges are at the state level, which is why he asked state governors to do the same.

yeah that's mostly useless on a national scale, especially if it leaves out all those convicted of trafficking and other tertiary charges to possession. later he did say that the AG should look at rescheduling cannabis which would have ten thousand times the effect

i say swears online posted:uhhh how many people have federal possession charges and not trafficking? lol NYT said around 6500 if I remember correctly but it also applies to any possession charges in DC since that is federal which accounts for several thousand more. Certainly better than nothing. If you are in jail on multiple charges and the possession gets dropped that still may take time off your sentence I think?

It's a step in the right direction, but of course there is still a long way to go. My own country's Conservative police and crime commissioners were proposing making cannabis a class A substance at the Tory party conference the other day. Their proposals failed miserably, but there's definitely a push towards more criminalisation than legalisation coming from the evil shits in power in the UK. Hopefully Biden's statement will make other countries have a rethink too...

It's a good start but it means nothing for consumers. Maybe six months from now it gets rescheduled from 1 to 2, and in legal states you can start using a credit card instead of cash, and certain research can get funding. But if you're still in a state where it's illegal, there's no difference in your life. You can still be arrested. And even in a legal state, you might still have to pass a drug test before getting a job. If you're injured at work and you got high two weeks ago on a Friday night, you still get denied workman's comp. Frankly even if cannabis is federally legalized, everything above would still apply. Again, good start but we're in a marathon.

I don't have hard numbers on this, but I'm pretty sure a lot of states rely on federal scheduling for defining their drug laws, meaning red states are going to have to rush to pass laws specifically against marijuana if it gets unscheduled.

a podcast for cats posted:Recreational weed has been “legal” in Malta since December, but you can still not buy it legally. The cannabis clubs/associations that are supposed to be the legal avenue cannot be set up yet, because the adminstrative framework to regulate and oversee them does not exist yet. The locals trying to work with the authority that was set up have been saying it’s a couple of months away, but I’m getting a feeling it will stay a couple of months away for the next 6-12 months or so. 6 months later the chair of the authority has been sacked and there is even less clarity than there was. To quote the papers about her dismissal, "But in a statement, Dimech said that over the last 10 months, she had worked without any functional office, “no staff, no budget and a political strategy and decision strategy I disagreed with.”", There's a new appointee, but there are very few reasons to think that things will become any less muddled or that associations or clubs are any closer than they were.

https://www.marijuanamoment.net/two...ring-next-week/ 63% of Pennsylvanian voters think PA should be adult use recreational legal. If there are actual regulated stores selling to actual retail customers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania before 2030, I'll eat my hat

I was checking the timeline for some other states and Colorado's referendum was in '12, retail sales starting in '14. I honestly never thought many states would be where we find ourselves currently. Big if sure, but if there was any movement prior to say late '27, they could feasibly have retail before '30. If people are clamoring now that could possibly manifest in something along that timeline but it'd be coming in just under the wire right before 2030. Just over 10 years ago we had 0-1 recreational states and now we're about half. Some cause for small hope. And if your hat is teriyaki seasoned, and you have legal cannabis, it might not be such a bad day should it happen.

Pennsylvania is uniquely bad at doing anything, even compared to its neighbors. The Republicans in the state government are particularly obstructionist and the state government is a slowly shambling bureaucratic nightmare.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:It will always be a thing until we get the thing done. Then we'll start working on dumbass rules like not being able to grow your own. I lobbied hard in the UK for a GYO framework to exist alongside the pharmaceutical model, but the venture capitalists had already purchased the laws in advance and the last thing they wanted was for people to become self sufficient. So because profit is the driving force behind this new legal market, there are hardly any sativa dominant options due to the longer flowering times needed. The UK black market is also very dry for strong sativas for the same reason, but I'd have hoped that a framework which pretended to cater for sick people would actually cater for sick people.
