Why wait 3-4 hours to convert the active THCa to THC just because it might create "pulmonary issues"

Its cool you tried to smoke a little in the 60's but we are now almost 60 years later and there is undeniable benefits with far few risks over big pharma and what they throw at us. Yes big business is trying to capitalize on the growth but it does not change the fact it helps a lot of people. I personally don't use cannabis but my wife sure does and not by choice just sayin.

To the OP, Based on Mg sales in the Villages its a huge number based on Trulieve and Surterra numbers alone. With plans for GTI and Medmen coming its only going to grow.

Let's just agree to disagree. Most medications take time to activate and THC in pill form is no different. I sympathize with your Wife's condition but my concern is more for the children and young adults who will inevitably get access to this narcotic. You are certainly entitled to your opinion however.

Best food for when you are using cannabis in some form.

I have a hemp t-shirt, and hand cream made with hemp oil (you can get it at The Body Shop).

Though I personally recommend waiting to slather the hand cream on your hands until after you've eaten your Screaming Yellow Zonkers, and wash your hands first too.

Seriously a Archaic statement but since you are comparing your experience from the 60's, not surprising! On a other note thank you for sharing your sympathy although she has no more "condition" to speak of and is feeling 110% and looks and feels better then ever. Just a bit high and happy from time to time

Regardless of what all of us old folks think about marajuana, if TOV is still operating in about 30 years, and Gracie's granddaughter starts the same thread, the answer will be much closer to 100% than the current response. The biggest funding lobbies against marijuana are the pharmaceutical and alcohol industry. They both know that their industries future is not going to be nearly as profitable once the marajuana stigma becomes a thing of the past. Personally, I only use CBD. However, over my long lifetime I have known several people who either use alcohol or marajuana. Many of the people who drink have had a variety of bad problems, the ones who smoke are all doing very well. I never have heard of a man who smoked a joint and went home and abused his wife. But heavy drinkers, well we all know how that sometimes turns out.

THC isn't a narcotic. Cannabis is also not a narcotic, nor is CBD.

I’m trying to understand the various chemical forms of marijuana; it sounds like one form is narcotic and one form is not. In my native country farmers grow poppy just like they grow wheat. The liquid resin from poppy is heroine or morphine which is narcotic, and the poppy seed itself is not. The poppy seed is as narcotic as sesame seed or sunflower seed. We use poppy seed in meals and my favorite is poppy seed lasagna. It is slightly sweet and has an entirely different flavor than meat lasagna.

May I ask what your native country is?

Central Europe. Many European bakeries have poppy seed pastries.

Cannabis is not narcotic, at all, in any form whatsoever. It is not comparable to poppy. Also, there are a wide variety of poppy plants, only the opium poppy is used to produce naturally-derived opium. That's why it's called an opium poppy.

Just because they're plant-based mind-altering substances doesn't mean they're narcotics.

Understanding the drug classes might help you understand. You can google it, FDA class III vs class II drugs.

I don’t take anything other than some vitamins, so far. I was just trying to follow this thread. Probably it is not the opium poppy that they farm, but it sure is delicious.

My guess is about 12%. On my street of 13 only one fellow smokes weed. He did it before it was legal, got it in Orlando where he lived for 12 years before moving here 8 years ago. Then when legalized he got the doctor's note and now has it delivered to his home.

He does have problems with his back from Agent Orange, so getting the note was not a problem. In fact he said, if you got $250, they'll find a reason. The doctor was on TV screen, they don't even see you in person. He now gets its from a dispensary in Lady Lake.

I'm with you. I fail to see the benefit of this question. Is there an underlying motive for this question or are we firing for effect.

It is still a Class One narcotic according to the government. CBD is not because it does not contain THC. And take note of the latest on vaping where evidence is now pointing to vaping THC as the cause of the multiple deaths among young adults.

From the USDEA:
"NOTE: Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, marijuana) is still considered a Schedule 1 drug by the DEA, even though some U.S. states have legalized marijuana for personal, recreational use or for medical use." (4/19)

And: "The DEA announced Thursday (9/18) that drugs including CBD with THC content below 0.1% are now considered Schedule 5 drugs, as long as they have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration."
