Yeah, I'm in the bible belt and we will most definetly be late adopters of MM. I got a friend in jail over 3 oz. Trying to say he as distributing it. Pure B.S.

The first time I went in to a MMJ store and saw over 50 huge jars with various strains in them my brain had a hard time wrapping around it all.
To say "let me see this one or let me see that one" and then loading up and being able to try such a huge variety of different strains is a dream come true that I thought would never happen.
Right now I have more than 10 different stains, sativa, indica, and hybreds, just as on hand stuff and now I use different strains for different things at different times.
It's amazing and I still can't believe it.
I'm so lazy now I have a place bring it to me at home.
Best of all it actually lowers the pain in my back/sciatic nerve and I don't Need to take muscle relaxers anymore as the mj works fine for that.
Edibles are different, feels more like a long term mellow undertone. Great for traveling or when visiting the inlaws.
Having a mmj card also lowered my stress as I have a ready supply.
I grew a couple plants last year but I can't get anywhere near the quality that the vendors produce inside with the same plants.
You lucky devil!! That is a dream come true .. I have ranted about these laws for several decades and to be so close to having the stigma and punishment removed from the equasion is the most fantastic move the states have done in quite some time ... I saw a broadcast the other day about Virginia's struggle and some woman in the house/senate was saying,"We don't know the long term effects of this drug will have on us or our children"
The mother of a teenage girl (having up to 300 seizures a week) said,"Maybe not, but I do know the long term effects of this many seizures .... Death!!"
It just burns me up to hear such stupity coming from the mouths of our "elected" officals ... I guess since it's not their kid ... So what ... I even heard that the movement has 2 more advocates for it's legalization ... Is it the secretary of agriculture and former pres Bill Clinton .... Maybe he will "inhale" this time ...
Which reminds me ... I need to go and water the girls ....

I am debating a move out west, not for this reason but it is an incentive for sure.
RE: Legalizing MM - IceWizard - 06-20-2015
If they would legalize MM then look at all the space emptied out so that the true violent offenders could be housed and locked away longer to keep our streets safer... Call me old fashioned, but I wolud much rather see someone with a bale of weed, than find someone burning my house down or shooting up the neighborhood ....
Like it's been pointed out before alchol leads to so many other problems, not just their own, but for society in general ...
I've been a smoker for (well let's just say a good while) and have never been addicted, suffered any sort of withdrawals, mugged anyone for a joint, robbed anything or anybody for a hit ... And the list goes on ...
People rake on my last nerve talking down weed ... Get the

Yet almost weekly, and monthly for sure, we have wrong way drivers on I-5 or I-90 causing head on wrecks that kill others because they are drunk and driving home from one of the conveniently located casinos just off either highway.
Yet they never talk about how alcohol caused this and they never go to the bar and ask why were you serving them when they were drunk.
Alcohol has always gotten a free pass and it pissed me off, I don't like to even use it unless there is nothing else at all and I need to take an edge off.
MJ is safe and very helpful for many medical conditions.
Yes, I am in a dream time right now with my medical card!
I am waiting on 1/2 pound out a variety of things to arrive this week, sweet!
Sometime I think I will wake up and realize this is not happening.
But it is!!!
Our grand gov knows it's hard to set up a still and create Jack Danials or (my farorite) Crown Royal, but virtually anybody can throw a few seeds in a hole and with a little TLC, can have wonderful results ...
Regulation becomes harder, how are they gonna "get thier cut" of the monies .... Same with tobacco ... Hard to mfg a Marlboro or Newport ...
These two products alone make the gov a hefty sum in taxes ... And cause more deaths and property damage than weed ever thought of ...
When I'm "buzzzed" and driving, I have never not been paying attention to what's happenig around me.... But let me knock back a few Crowns and my ability to navigate the roads becomes a greater challenge ...
And don't let me light a cig while I'm drinkin and driving!! ... I been known to be involved with some extremely "wild" rides ...
But never on weed ...
That reminds me ... Time to water my girls .. L8r

I do believe MJ should be legal in states, if one is allowed to drink alcohol which is man made, who is to say we can't smoke something from mother nature? I used to smoke MJ like cigs, and it did help with certain things, but in the end actually made me more paranoid, and now that I have stopped, I smoke once in a blue moon and it's horrible I get panicky and very paranoid. I never understood why people hated it so much, but I certainly do now, but to deny it from people IMO isn't right. It has many beneifits, one that always brings a tear to my eye is a show I saw about someone extracting MJ properties that has CBDs not any THC and helps a young child with her seizures.
After witnessing my brother have a seizure and not knowing what it was, I feel for the parents of young children who suffer from this and to all who suffer from seizures.
God Bless them!
RE: Legalizing MM - Charon - 07-01-2015
thank u andy. MMJ, especially the CBD oil, helps all sorts of issues such as seizures, tremors, slurred speech.
it is an asset to those of us with autoimmunes. too bad the federal gvt does not allow it to be used in most states for this purpose.
RE: Legalizing MM - andybones - 07-01-2015
It just breaks my heart. I don't have children of my own, but I can still feel their pain. For a parent to have to go and break the "law" for your child to have a better day just makes me cringe. Why is this other medicine that isn't helping these poor children legal, but something from Mother Nature that will make the quality of their life so much better not legalized? Very sad, and twisted world we live in. MJ can have many great help for many people not just children. Just hurts my soul.
