We weren't asked to fill out a single form, or sign an attendance sheet, or show any ID at all.

It was informative and appreciated.

But did they treat you for brain cancer?

This place will be like NY with every one smoking it and stinking up the air. What’s next smoking in the restaurant & bars soon. No way

Legalizing weed did wonders in Colorado. The taxes on legal weed are astronomical.

Do they have smoking in restaurants and bars in NY?

No? Then why would you think it would happen in TV?

Yes, that would be nice... But it'll never happen...

I remember fondly when they said that the Maryland Lottery was going to be used to fund schools... Never happened... The just use the $$$ as a windfall and waste it on other crap...

Not exactly. The people are out with petitions to get the question ON THE BALLOT for the next election. They don’t care if you are for or against.
That’s how it works….

She chased me in the rain to my car. It gave red flag warnings to me and I jumped in the car and locked the door. I was thinking who would have paper forms out in the rain and figured it was a set up. They need to be more careful or they may wind up being maced!

We live in a hypocritical world influenced by social beliefs and corporate dollars where for some twisted reason marijuana is considered harmful relative to alcohol?

Wanna fall asleep, and get a good night's sleep? Gummies. No need to smoke weed, you can eat it in delicious flavored gummies. It's ridiculous, that marijuana is illegal and thousands of people are arrested and spending time in prison for having it. Of the 8.2 million marijuana arrests between 2001 and 2010, 88% were for simply having marijuana.

Marijuana is is a wonderful way to relax , have a little wine ,listen to some music , just feel better in a very pleasant way . It should be used in moderation just like alcohol, I started at 14 and still using at 84 ,I never smoked cigarettes , I had a very, stressful , dangerous life around the world and very successful at it so much so that I have a 6 figure pension ,I’m still an athlete at the gym and then biking ,walking and some running in the heat of the afternoon , I’m not saying this to brag but only to show that marijuana shouldn’t be demonized, it can be helpful not just to get high but especially for older people a better you and Miles and Coltrane always sound better with weed lol

you shouldn't have to look very hard, i've seen these girls just about everywhere. yes, their intent is to support recreational weed for state of Fl., & there are several of them hanging around local dispensaries-clipboards ready to go, lol

One night I left our apartment to go for a dip in the pool, and when I came back, they were all sound asleep.

Over time, I definitely noticed a change in their behavior. They didn't seem as sharp mentally as they were before, and I suspect it was due to the long-term effects of marijuana. Based on what I observed, I think marijuana use should be illegal.

We will probably be fried for this, but I agree mostly with what you said. I think it does negatively affect someones drive or ambition. Having said that, so does valium, xanax, halcion, wine etc.. If someone wants to smoke or eat a gummi, why should I care. Are there any studies showing that marijuana users are more likely to be on public assistance? Other than that we need to fins a way where state laws do not contradict federal laws in regards to this.

They said the same thing about legalizing marijuana in Colorado back when. I wonder if their financial status has improved as much as they thought it would.

Are they so high that people (are the taxes so high, not the people) still get it illegally?

Another "valid" study. From my experiences, the pot in the 70's was as strong as what is available today.

They ceased planning ahead and setting goals. Their cognitive abilities suffered. Their hygiene and personal appearance deteriorated as well. And the dope back then was very weak compared to what is smoked today.
