KingEup posted:"Oh yeah? Well skateboards were once illegal and now they're not. It turns out you can make illegal things legal afterall!" http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36077122 It's a joke, but i grew up hearing nothing but the standard DARE line on weed, except for a scoff here and there from my parents who knew better but still didn't want their kid smoking ganja. Reading on my own and learning about Harry J. Anslinger, the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, all the propaganda surrounding it, it was a revelation for me. It was like I'd found a secret piece of history no one knew about, and like you point out, i sort of had. I feel like if you can just explain the early history of cannabis prohibition it will fall away for skeptics, but i think i always end up sounding insane.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:Has anyone seen any rebuttals to the "marijuana DUI deaths are way up in Colorado and Washington"? I'm man enough to admit that's a negative if it's literally true, but the vague way it's phrased really makes me wonder: are actual *total* traffic deaths up, or are they just finding more linkages to weed than they used to since they're actually checking more? This Denver Post article says total deaths are up: Exclusive: Traffic fatalities linked to marijuana are up sharply in Colorado. Is legalization to blame? posted:The 2013-16 period saw a 40 percent increase in the number of all drivers involved in fatal crashes in Colorado, from 627 to 880, according to the NHTSA data. Those who tested positive for alcohol in fatal crashes from 2013 to 2015 — figures for 2016 were not available — grew 17 percent, from 129 to 151. Keep in mind this time period also saw an enormous boom in population, but it doesn't look great, no.

Mozi posted:I think all that flushing business is a bit nuts anyhow. Do these people "flush" their tomatoes and peppers too? I don't know about tomatoes and peppers, but if you don't flush your weed you're liable to get a harsh smoke, and it might even do weird things like spark while you're hitting your bowl.

Tim Raines IRL posted:right, that's a lab report on the bud before it's been extracted and standardized. The end product is 20mg of cannabinoids per ml. You can certainly get stronger CBD products (phytodabs shatter is up to 70-80% CBD by weight), I only linked green mountain because it's what I use because it's been they best ratio of price to desired effects (60-80mg/day is where I like to be). This drives me insane also, Godspeed cbd shatter mad scientist (do you really have a closed loop extractor??) For slightly more content, we tried to grow a high CBD strain (The Wife, 25% CBD) where I work, and there ended up being an issue where it seemed to be against the rules to sell ~0% THC weed. Or they just told us that, but I haven't seen any 0% strains advertised anywhere else.

It will explicitly remove industrial hemp and its extracts from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, where it might be interpreted as marijuana, which the US Drug Enforcement Administration states has “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse” (despite evidence to the contrary).

Nitrousoxide posted:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/nyregion/new-jersey-marijuana.html I don't even know what to say. What is a marijuana bodega? Like a lounge? You'd be in deep poo poo if you smoked weed in a dispensary in CO (well, kicked out or asked to stop anyway); tourists not having a lot of places to go to use the weed they just bought is actually a problem. There's work being done to create places where you can smoke weed, but it's going extremely slowly. I have no idea what he could be talking about. Coffee shops in Amsterdam being skeezy sometimes?

Mr. Nice! posted:Florida smokeable cannabis prices have finally dipped below black market prices with noticeable higher quality. None of the street stuff ever seemed to really be about 15% when comparing it to stuff from the dispensary. I never get lower than 18% from the shops now. I do get a bit of a discount everywhere (10-25%) for being a veteran, but I can get 1/8ths for $21 of some 20% green. We're still pricier than recreational states, for sure, but green here is now arguably the cheapest and highest quality available in the south. No, that's not bad at all, I don't get good rec eighths for that without a coupon. I'm curious though, were actually able to test your black market weed?

It's exciting but I want to keep seeing updates on it, and see it confirmed by others.

A gameshow host has now done both those things in whatever flavor you want to name, I don't see them as obstacles.

Doctor Nutt posted:Honestly not going to consider weed legal in this country until all weed charges are expunged and anyone in jail on weed related expenses is released, and also it's not really legal until I can walk in to Costco and buy it by the bale. Agreed, agreed, agreed. The Costco bit might be eventual and state by state (you can get liquor in grocery stores in some states, in other states it would seem insane if you asked where the rum was), but it's ridiculous that there's people in jail and they amount to political prisoners.

The juxtaposition of prescribed strains, import only, but public use/driving being technically ok is mind boggling to me. In CO it's easy to get a medical card via a short doctors appointment that definitely doesn't end up costing the equivalent of £250, and then you basically have a discount card that gets you lower prices on anything a given dispensary has, whatever strain or product. We grow all the weed here. It's illegal to drive under the influence or use in public, but lord knows how they'd even check. Overall I'm so glad it's getting better in the UK, I can imagine how it must feel watching the loving United States of all countries get more liberal laws than Amsterdam in places (Amsterdam has places you can go and smoke a joint and get something to eat though, that's got to be the gold standard). I'm not a detective by trade, but I'd guess the mold issues are coming from importing weed from all over instead of using the king's.

That sounds like what almost happened in the US, in the state of Ohio. The state government had worked out a deal to give a company partly owned by a former member of a boy band (98 Degrees, which you are not obligated to remember, think N*Sync or Backstreet Boys but even worse) essentially total control of the state market. Didn't happen, but got real close. We're clawing our way towards federal legalization; Chuck Schumer, a big wig in the Democratic party, just came out and announced it will be a priority, but who knows if that's true or what it will look like at the end if it is. e and the idea of vaping in court, or the police being required to give you weed while you're in jail, had my jaw on the floor lol

There's always the possibility other countries are more cautious about legalization because the legalization of cannabis in member countries is banned by a UN convention that's probably followed more closely than most of the ones against war crimes

Harry J Anslinger was pretty happy about that one. In college i felt like a stereotype was that at least one student in a class will do a paper or something on why drugs should be legal, so I did one on why cannabis shouldn't be legalized and finished it with the 1961 single convention on narcotic drugs as a reason why it simply can't be. It was still dumb but it was a fun exercise, and I learned that that convention really would either keep it from getting federally legalized or represent another piece of foundation hammered out of the UN by the United States just ignoring treaties and rules; I just don't think you could get all those countries to agree to remove it from the list. E Anslinger's papers, found them looking for some info about the convention Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Dec 23, 2021 |
