Marijuana legalization. What's your stance?

[Windycty]

Legalize it. Marijuana has been legal in Illinois for just over 2yrs, the state has profited $205 million from tax revenue.  Veterans like myself get 20% discount, even more if you have a medical card.

The dispensary near me is the first in the state to allow consumption onsite.  They have a smoking lounge where you can roll your own or use one of the shop's various bongs/ hookahs.

Lol yeah the brownies can be a little much. I pretty much stick to vape pen or gummy. It’s like a twice a month occurrence. I’ll stick to my bourbon and cigars more than weed.

Go the whole hog and let people buy smack from the supermarket 

Cut the horse crap

Have no standards or rules for anything and let stupid do what ever they want.

Let men believe they are women

No wonder the Chinese and Russians think the West are degenerates

Put your mask on and do as your told

a little inaccurate, you buy then by the bag and the max I've seen is 500 mg per bag and that was on brownies.  gummies are usually 300 in a bag that has 8 to 15.

but you are right it could be dangerous in a sense that edibles are processed by the liver and it takes at least 30 minutes to process. unlike smoking that hits you right away.  people have a tendency to over do it, thinking it does nothing to me.

Not when I was there a 4-5 years ago in Orange county. Wouldn't be surprised if they changed it though. They had bags with individual gummies, but also small square gummies with 300mg. I was shocked. They even let us hit a bong in the store. Couldn't believe it compared to Portland.

think it was more like economics. when I first bought edibles they were 5 bucks each for 50 mlg,s but you could get a bag of 8 for 15 bucks  for 50mlg each.  it's just economics, not the prices go up or down depends on where you buy them. and there's lots of competition.

some stores around here offer a fee bong, not many because people line up as they were offering free tacos., but whatever.

Never been a "pot head" tho I did attend HS in the 70's. Now its legal here in MA and with the ache in my hands from arthritis Im seriously thinking about trying something to ease the pain without me sitting in a corner watching butterflies. Not sure where to begin.

A discussion with your doctor couldn't hurt.  I know several guys with the same complaint as you, that use some form in an eatable.  I'm not for any sort of smoking, but eating a gummy is about the save as taking a pill.  I started playing a lot of Pickleball, lost weight, helped my knees and feet and hands.  I'm 75 and a lot of stuff hurts.

Oh good, I have to look forward to!   

My Doctor said to stay away from the topicals, most are just "whooy" <---- medical term. Im going to look into some edibles. Of course the doctor DID suggest I lose some weight and exercise more, but what does he know!  LOL!

My stance is it should be regulated just like alcohol.

same adult choice, same adult responsibilities.
