Cannabis, how is it legalized?

[kojack]

Just to add what I posted above. I treat it the same as drinking. I will NEVER drive under the influence. I don't want to. I love going out to vape, then take my husky for a nice walk and enjoy the stroll.

my daughters high school weed habit landed me in prison for around 20 plus months( they really didn't know how to place me-had no score) what happened-I wanted her to show her "wild oats" and get it out of her system which happensareful often,I bought a good bag of bud and tried it didn't like the crap,so I gave it to me daughter who was smoking the stuff,with a stern admonition,be careful or you will get us both in trouble( of course she wasn't,the school did an illegal urine screen on her and the pussilanamous administration had to call the law enforcement and they in a big show of bravado ran me through the system( you wouldn't believe the things they tried to pin on me)another couple with a similar charge received nothing( class matters) the new sheriff told me I was railroaded offered to get the charges expunged(I declined) at this stage I do not care,got my firearms and voting rights back,being a pillar of the community and first time offender meant nothing,the the judge claimed his hands were tied due to"MM" federal sentencing( what good is a judge who cannot be a judge? just save money and let the CA do the jail filling? they must of had a cot that needed to be filled( worth 25K$ for the jail and prison. my rant I will let it go now with this little paraphrase from Orwell[ all animals are equal,some are more equal than others] stay off the radar folks.

That sucks.

All legal up here. I just goto the local grocery store and pick up a bunch of goodies. I also have my medical card and order most of mine from a small craft grower in BC. GOOD STUFF!

“Never put into your body that which is harmful, which you know is harmful. Anything that causes the lack of oxygen flow to your brain causes the cells to perish in great numbers and they will never be again, for the brain lacks the ability to reproduce its cells. When your brain cells are destroyed, then you lessen your ability to transfer thought into a realized emotion in your body. Though you can contemplate the thought, it is a no-thing to you. That is when joy ceases, for how can you be joyous over a thought unless you can become it through the feeling of it?
When you are unable to feel, you are unable to register knowingness on this plane. That is the harm you do to your brain when you partake of what you term your weed or drugs that cause illusions to occur. Each time you partake of these things, they remove oxygen from your brain. It is the dying of your brain that causes what you term the high that you feel. That is why it occurs. Each time you do this, you restrict your ability to know. And there will come a time when you cannot weep or laugh, for there is no longer anything strong enough to create emotion within your being."

The podcast "fraudsters" is doing a very well done/researched season all on the USA's war on drugs. If you want to see the BS on why cannabis is not legalized.

In places where it's legal, you’ve got lab-tested products with clear info on potency, strains, and effects. That alone makes a huge difference compared to the mystery mix you often get on the black market. It’s also led to more options beyond just smoking—edibles, tinctures, and THC vapes have made it easier for people to control their experience without dealing with harsh smoke or questionable quality.

Why the market gotta be black?

You don’t want to see what the orange market has.

Cannabis? Well, this subject interests me. I live in the UK and it is banned, so it is all black market deals, but it is crap, it is weed and i don't trust it at all, I believe it is contaminated with legal highs, of at the least just what is called skunk, a horrible 'high of high strength wipe you out'. That really is all there is in the UK these days. In the '80s it was only just hash resin, no weed at all, but even this resin was mucked around with, you'd find bits of polythene in it. You never really knew. UNLESS you went to Ansterdam where it was legal. Cafe shops. They had a menu. It was great, good stuff you could rely on. We used to go to a camping site called Camping Zeburrg and everyone was well stoned, real Cheech and Chong. That said, I have never been a big smoker, BUT, that said, at that time in my earlier life it did have some interesting perspectives which I am grateful of.

These days? well I don't bother. There isn't the good stuff around and, well, 'I learnt' from it, which was good, but now I know that, it only would offer me a change from lager.

BUT....if it was legalized here in the UK I would buy some and try it, knowing it would be more likely to be sound stuff, just mild, not mind-blowing. Make a change from lager.

But, I hear about ganga being legalized more and more. I suppose it is really to guarantee the quality, for health reasons. So what is it like in say the US in a state with has legalized it. Is it a shop and/or a 'cafe'? Is there a menu? Do you have choice of hash and weed and different strengths? And how it it going down in society?

Here in the UK it is legal to have seeds but not to grow them wham strain, though you can buy hydroponic set ups for folks to break the law to grow their own.

So, what is the score in a state which has legalized dope, can you buy it cash? How, a shop? Anonymous? Is it better stuff? Is it better in terms of the larger society? Do more people smoke? What's the score?Is it backstreet or open mall?

In legal U.S. states, cannabis is sold openly in licensed dispensaries, kind of like a cross between a pharmacy and a coffee shop. There’s usually a menu with options for flower, hash, edibles, concentrates, and oils, all tested for purity and potency. You can choose strains based on effects—relaxing, uplifting, or balanced—unlike the unpredictable "skunk" you mentioned. Buying is straightforward: walk in, show ID, and pay (usually cash, though some places accept cards). No backstreets involved—just regular storefronts, sometimes even in malls. Legalization hasn’t turned everyone into stoners, but it has shifted the stigma and made access safer.

Why the market gotta be black?

Because all I could buy back in the day was black hash. It was easier to smuggle.
There was almost no weed to buy and it was shitty field weed if you could find it.

You don’t want to see what the orange market has.

I like all the colorful weed available today.

My girls get a major sun tan and the stalks turn purple with over 45,000 lumens all beamed up in my closet,..

But orange is my favorite color,..

I managed to grow a four foot tall one pound plant (dry weight) in my 21" X 21" X 8 foot tall closet.

—unlike the unpredictable "skunk" you mentioned.

Interestingly, skunk weed does smell like skunk.
I was chatting with a grower from Portugal who asked what skunk weed smells like.
I said "it smells like a skunk"

That didn't help him because their are no skunks in Portugal. (at least none that he had ever seen or smelt)


My neighbours' husband bought some strain of "Cheese" weed that she couldn't stand and made him smoke it outside.
She said it smelled like dirty feet.

I asked a guy what "Deisel" weed tasted like, he said diesel fuel.
I couldn't figure out why he would like that taste?

I wonder if they had "s*it" weed people would buy it and enjoy smoking it?

In U.S. states where cannabis is legal, you buy it from licensed dispensaries, not backstreet dealers. These shops have full menus with different strains, edibles, concentrates, and even hash in some places. Everything is lab-tested, labeled with THC/CBD percentages, and free from contaminants. You need an ID proving you're over 21, and most places take cash or debit. Some states allow smoking lounges, but it depends on local laws. Socially, it’s generally accepted, and while more people use it openly, it hasn’t caused major issues. If the UK legalized it, you’d likely see a similar setup—regulated, safer, and with more variety.

It is legal in all provinces and territories of Canada. We have a medical side of things as well that allows patients (like myself) to order from dispensaries and growers not supplying our local provincial stores. The product from the medical side of things where I get mine is extremely high quality organically grown cannabis. Even the stuff in the dispensaries here is "ditch weed" compared to what I get from my grower in BC.

People getting high on Cannabis will not cause any issues in private or public because you are just chill and happy. The old saying goes 5 drunk guys will start a fight, five stoned guys will start a band.

Beauty! I really believe that everyone should have the freedom to choose how they want to manage their pain — whether it's through cannabis or more traditional medications. It’s such a personal decision, and what works for one person might not work for another. I’ve spent a lot of time reading about different treatment options on Canadian Pharmacy Partner, and personally, I mostly prefer sticking with regular medications because I feel more comfortable with that route. Still, at the end of the day, it’s about having options and respecting individual choices. No one should feel pressured one way or the other. Health and healing are very personal journeys, and the more we support freedom of choice, the better.

I'm in no pain.
I grow it and smoke it for fun.

My latest "Recreational" plant turned out to be a bit of a dud??
I didn't even bother to weigh her.
I think she might have been anorexic or bulimic or something??

 

[PCeBiker]

She wasn't very tall, but she had a big fat apple butt ass like every other today.

 

[kojack]

How much do you get from one plant like that? I might have to get a few setups like that to keep in the garage. ha ha.

I've managed to get a full pound from a single plant growing in the closet.
The closet is 21" X 21" and the plant can grow to 4 feet tall.

This last plant was a Dud.
I didn't even bother weighing it. It loosely filled a single 1 gallon jar, but a one pound plant fills 2½ one gallon jars.

And the weed sucks too.. It barely gets me stoned.
I don't know what happened?

I've grown the same plant before from the same batch of seeds, but this one was crap.

I got started really late too, because I ended up killing 3 seedlings before I got one to grow, wasting more than a month of time.
It's best to grow in the winter with the lower humidity.
High RH can easily lead to mold.

Ohh,.. And buy Autoflower Femininized seeds, so you don't have to be concerned about light timing, or growing boys.
Regular seeds and plants can herm on you with the slightest light leak, then you've got male flowers on the plant, it pollinates itself, and you've got a plant full of seeds.

Autoflowers are WAY Easier to grow.
