Or stop the opiod crisis by imprisoning the coorperations responsible for it.
Can’t do that bud. Gotta fund illegitimate wars and terrorists somehow.
so why don't they nationalize the industry & use all of the profits (legal and otherwise) instead of wasting them on 1 %ers salaries etc? a win-win situation for them...
Does this mean it is now legal for everyone to grow as much as possible?
So they are allowing the amount of bud grown for research to go from 1,000 pounds to 5,400 pounds next year, holy shit talk about reform eh? They finally think that maybe, just maybe, cannabis has been helping people and could be a tool for fighting an actual drug epidemic instead of a bullshit war. I'll be very happy once the war on weed is over but I'll be banging my head into the wall while having to listen to the DEAs latest revelations the whole way there.
I see an endless string of, "No shit. I could have told you that years ago." in your future.
I feel your pain. As it becomes more mainstream, I hear friends and friends of friends talk about it that never talked about it before. It's an endless line of usually correct information. Which is surprising. I usually just smile and nod in agreement, adding an occasional "I did not know that" as I try to maintain a babe in the woods vibe for cover in that world.
Lately it seems that's how I out to myself to people as a pothead though as I gently correct any wrong info they try to spew forth. Which usually leads to a session with at least one newbie.
Only two people know I grow though.

I know what you mean when you hear people talk about it in positive light for the first time. For years I have listened to my family regurgitate all the reefer madness bullshit and plenty of "you know your dad use to smoke dope and look what it did to him" bullshit. Then Sanjay Gupta was on that documentary WEED and talked about how he did a 360 on his viewpoints over MJ and saw that it now has huge medical potential. All of a sudden my grandmother who was previously anti-weed was talking about how great medical MJ was. That's great and all that people are becoming enlightened but they only think that because someone else told them they should. You're allowed to think for yourself you know...
i have met so many "older" (my age and up) folks in the last few years (church-goers) that tell me "i wish they would go ahead & legalize it. i/my sister/brother/aunt/uncle/parents etc used to/still smoke it for sleep/arthritis pain relief etc." got a little old lady near here grows it outdoor in summer, greenhouse rest of year. she turns it all into butter & gives it or the cookies she makes to local elderly/chemo patients. this is in the heart of the "Bible Belt" here...the war has been won, it is time for the other side to give it up before (if they are not already) they open themselves up to legal action...
