I know one thing I rather ride with a person that smoked some weed then ride with a person who had a few drinks. I think Weed should be made legal everywhere.

We have to go to Colorado in Feb. for a wedding (who schedules an outdoor wedding in Denver in February?). Being a child of the 60s, I just want to see one of the stores so I can ask, "Holy Cow, why didn't we have something like this back then."
My eye doctor and I were talking about my glaucoma medications and he said sometimes he wished he could prescribe pot for a few of his patients.

I followed the links in an earlier post concerning the cannabis oil's medicinal properties and I'm cautiously impressed. GWPH stock has already been golden for the early investors and it just might have some legs. Might be a ponzi scheme too but my early take is legit with moderate risk. While they don't have earnings they do have cashflow, patents and a pipeline. Let the FDA approve their Sativex drug and this might be an old time momentum play where the appreciation has no correlation to the earnings. I hate story stocks but I'll gamble and play the come from time to time and GWPH is on my watch list.

As far as pot goes, I'm a to each his own kinda guy. It's just a durned weed. It has seeds so I think Genesis 1:29 loosely covers it.

I am not saying anyone who drinks or gets stoned every day is an addict. But, let me ask you why do you? For what reason do you need something to alter your state everyday?
Can you thoroughly enjoy say a day of fishing with nothing but a fishing rod and the great outdoors? Why would you need something to make it better? Not saying I might not enjoy a bowl on the river, but most of the time I just ram open the throttle, blow up the river, find a spot and enjoy the whole day just being. Don't need no buzz to love life.

There was a thread on AR15.com about legal weed, according to those "in the know" it is quite a bit more expensive than what you can buy pot for on the street...

Is there any plan on just how they are going to identify just where the weed was purchased once it leaves the shop? In other words can they tell the difference between legal weed and illegal weed? Receipts won't work, just buy the first ounce in a shop, get a receipt and then "refill" on a street corner.

Much like liquor and cigarettes, marijuana might be legal....But that doesn't make it ok to use at your job....Employers get to set the rules. If you don't like their rules, you can always find new employment.

Hi Pal..
The company is following the results of the small experimenters and herbalist that's been working with cannabis underground for over 10 years now. And the results hasn't gone unnoticed! And GW Pharmaceuticals is running with this information!
They are using the basic cannabis oil that Rick Simpson first made over 10 years ago.
"GW Pharmaceuticals announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Application Serial Number 12/996,124, a patent which covers the use of cannabinoids for treating glioma."
"GW commercialized the world's first plant-derived cannabinoid prescription drug, Sativex®, which is approved for the treatment of spasticity due to multiple sclerosis in 23 countries."
If they follow the "path" you will see new drugs being released for cancer, Tourette's syndrome, seizures, migraines, ADD &ADHD, Crohn's, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure.. and the list goes on!
The stock has gone from $8.00 to $40.00 in the last 5 months!
So, don't watch too long!
I believe you'll see a split of 3:1 this year!
Best to ya!

Not me. While I prefer to drive, when I do ride as a passenger I want it to be with someone that is neither stoned or drunk.
The problem with weed is a little goes a long way. Whereas with alcohol, 2 or 3 beers would have little effect on my driving.
So if I have to ride with one or the other, I definitely prefer the one with a couple of drinks.
I do favor the legalization of weed and several other recreational drugs, but I don't care to use them myself. Weed like alcohol has different effects on people. Besides the munchies, a second side effect is one of becoming blasé, or loss of drive, passivity, or even laziness. Not everyone has these side effects but many do.
Also you get similar disorientation and loss of motor control as you do with alcohol.
Weed is no wonder drug. It is just another drug and not one I personally care for. However, I do think those that like it should be able to grow it and buy it and use it without government interference. I also think the government should get out of controlling alcohol sales, and basically keeping it a commercial commodity. There is no reason moonshiners should be hassled, controlled or overly taxed.
My drug of choice is caffeine, so it would be pretty hypocritical of me to deny others their drug of choice.

Herbal medicine has been a hobby of mine most of my adult life.
Growing up you didn't dare cough or sneeze around Grandmother or Mom!
Mom learned herbal medicine from Grandmother and Grandmother was a true herbalist. And over the years I was told that her dad and grandfather were herbalist, with her grandfather a medicine man of Cherokee(Eastern).
Anyway, a thread was made about "arthritis" a few weeks back.
Well.. Medical Marijuana Delivery Systems LLC has a patent on using a "marijuana patch", similar to a nicotine patch, to relieve arthritis pain called "Tetracan". Cannabinoids are highly hydrophobic, making transport across the aqueous layer of the skin possible.
This method isn't new and has been used as a topical cream or patch for years. Was first noticed by people making "cannabutter" bare handed. They noticed a numb feeling in their hands and fingers.. and found it works on arthritis pain extremely well!
All that's needed is cannabis oil, cocoa butter, and a large band
aid. The effect can last over 24 hours.
Just thought I'd add something new to ya!

One of the things that this "quazi-legalized" state of cannabis has achieved are that extracts have been made which concentrate the CBD element creating a substance free of THC so that the beneficial components can be delivered to the patient WITHOUT the side effect of getting them "high". This is nice in the instances of children or others who are needing the medicinal benefit without the associated "high" from the THC content.
There have been significant advances in hybrids as well. Some of these varieties have mostly CBDs with very low THC levels. Ingestion of these varieties do not produce the pronounced effects as seen in other varieties with high THC levels. Just like O'Douls or Sharps non-alcoholic beer!!?
What I wonder is what the determining factor is - federally. So if I have some cannabis oil to use on my skin condition topically and use does not get me "high", am I still perceived as a "pothead", "unlawful marijuana user", etc.? What if my lip balm has cannabis oil in it? Is it the getting "high" aspect what runs afoul of the law? The level of THC metabolite in my system?
Now, where did I set my beer down???

I wouldn't worry about having a lip balm or a small amount of oil.
Unless you also have a large grow out back.
You can have "hemp seed oil", but not cannabis oil because of the high percentage of THC.

Michigan's Supreme Court has held that failing a drug test is a basis to refuse to hire and/or fire a person even in the case of legal use of Medical MJ. Now the question will be answered by each State, but that's the view from my part of the woods.

Until the Government lowers cannabis to a Schedule III or Schedule IV we will have problems.
I don't see how they can have cannabis as a Schedule I above crystal meth and cocaine?(Sch.II)
