Texas Cannabis

[Wildcat Diva]

Doesn’t sound like it’s that complicated. Plus apparently who making it actually cares if it’s perfect, or even remotely safe?

And, they lose me at the end the article, of course. Nah, I don’t think I’m convinced to fight your fight, just here for some info, thanks anyways.

Leafy is in the business to sell seeds through a catalog. A stoner wrote that article.

A better example is here,

And suddenly I'm less inclined to see more people stoned.

I don't think I can handle the increase in conspiracy theories. Maybe the conspiracy is that the gov wants pot legal to keep people chasing imaginary rabbits.

 

[grasshopperglock]

I haven't read the term 'conspiracy theory' on TGT in a while. Figured after CNN was exposed. Thought it was switched to the Russians did it.

Confusing times we live.

Let’s expand on that logic. Should you kind of expect to get raped at an interview, just because it’s with Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, or any number of other executives.

Does the ‘venue’ or the reason for being there justify the result?

Why is it/isn’t justified?

Are you really wanting to compare the chances of people smoking pot at a rock concert to getting raped at an interview by an executive?

I read a lot and have posted rarely, this hits home for me though.

I have personally seen the way the different components, chemical compounds, strains, etcetera have helped people with chronic pain by making the pain tolerable without the mind numbing, debilitating effects of opioids and life a little better and more enjoyable.

I think Texas has done a good thing in allowing medicinal marijuana.

Imagine if 98% of the various vitamin supplements on the health isle at HEB really worked. Cannabis is shattering a lot of belief systems. It's rough to believe a plant does the things needed.

Curious fact, Nobody really knows why cannabis produces THC. Bug repellent? UV protection? Response to humidity? Nobody knows. It's also the only plant on Earth to show a visible female and male sex between plants.

Too bad medical cards have been turned into gun control. Hawaii tried confiscating firearms of card holders. Then I believe Pennsylvania tried. It's a test of the water. Medical cards are a no go. Don't dare trust any of that until it changes at the Fed level. Which it won't.

Never get a card in any state you may visit.

This isn’t a comparison. I’m asking you’re what circumstances justify the acceptance of criminal behavior.

 

[Dawico]

Accept and expect are two different things. I can't really say I accept any criminal behavior anywhere.

I do expect it in some situations though. I generally avoid those situations.

Don’t drive down the street, there is probably someone littering.

There is probably criminal behavior all around you when you are driving in a populated place or in public. When it becomes rude and inconsiderate to you you can speak up.

Why should you have to retreat? Why should status quo of public crappiness that impacts you in a way you find rude/inconsiderate/unacceptable be accepted when the situation can be changed in the area you are in, anyways, with effective effort?

I'm curious, what's your opinion on SJW's?

 

[Wildcat Diva]

How is that relevant? Because my opinions are not the same as others?

Because I don’t like every value that’s currently in place and I will try to change it? So status quo is always right and I should STFU and step back and take it, tolerate it, or retreat?

 

[Lunyfringe]

I think it's a complete misnomer... they're generally Anti-social, they're not about real justice, and they're certainly not warriors.

It should stand for Socialist Jaded Weenies

People wanna eat a pot brownie during a concert, that’s fine. That don’t affect me unless they start hanging on me and shit.

The smoke absolutely does affect me and it’s not a smoking venue, a smoke shop. The smoker next to me is not given as a part of the show. I expect that it might happen, but don’t accept that. It’s a rude, inconsiderate behavior that people choose to do as they enjoy the show, but it does affect me physically in a negative manner and impacts my enjoyment, which MATTERS. I can have an opinion I express and take action about that; so what if I do. That’s not “senseless.”

I like going to concerts too.


Ask me how I feel about those crowd surfing motherfuckers. Few actions taken there too.

 

[TheDan]

Im sticking to the diet fine, but eating the same thing gets boring .

A cheat day once or twice a month is ok... I can't imagine getting tired of grilled meats and fibrous vegetables fried in bacon fat, tho. You can get a lot of variation with the seasoning. Last night's dinner was grilled chicken and asparagus. I marinated the chicken overnight in a mixture of soy sauce, sriracha, and the left over juices from when I made carnitas a couple days before.

 

[Lunyfringe]

Hmm, a thread about Pot that turned to food? who'da thunk it?

 

[easy rider]

Damn stoners.

 

[sidebite252]

Ok I’m gonna confess. I had to look up SJW..........damn it’s hard to keep up with all this crap.

 

[avvidclif]

Yep, age showing. I had to look it up also.

 

[HKShooter65]

Marijuana is not a narcotic, opioid or an analgesic, so it doesn’t affect pain, it is just a mind altering substance.

Go to Google Scholar and search "cannabanoids pain"
you will receive an avalanche of articles showing its great promise.

This thread is going in circles around my main two contentions.
1.
Make is a schedule 2 drug such that it becomes easy to to scholarly research into it's, quite likely, numerous medical benefits.
2.
Legalize it. Tax the hell out it. Educate the public about it's responsible use.
Prohibition of alcohol was foolhardy. Prohibition of pot is the same.
Both have hazards. Ethanol vastly more so.
