[QUOTE="CarolKing, post: 749316, member: 16359I like that they will honor med mj. certification from the states.

Do they mention doing that for Canadians?

I think from anywhere but I don't know, only what I read.

I've been trying to comment in my state regarding a medical cannabis bill. I cannot comment because when I put in my phone number, it won't accept it. I wonder if they do this stuff on purpose. It won't allow me to send my email to any of my legislators. I even tried using our desktop instead of my iPad. I tried the other day too and had problems.

This is fucked and pisses me off. I live in Wa state and they are trying to fuck over med cannabis with a new bill. I am against it. They want to close down all dispensaries and I'm against HB 5052 and for HB 2058 that will leave dispensaries open.

Im new to all this but I believe you can call or write to your congressman/state rep. anytime. It might even have more weight than the email. Just my 2 cents.



Also for anyone in Florida, not sure how legit this is, looks like a new measure to support. I figure this is where to post this but maybe it should be its own thread?

It's true, but there's not a lot of high hopes for it. The same thing has been introduced a few times I think.

Here's all the current FL bills

Lactose (milk sugar) intolerant.. also, caseine (milk protein) intolerant. The second is worse than the first, btw, plus "non-dairy" stuff often contains milk protein, as far fewer people are sensitive.

I wish B&J would come out with a kick-ass coconut milk product. Turtle Mountain does it good... but, they aren't adding cannabis.. *sigh*

I agree, there shouldn't be a contradiction between cannabis consumption and eating a healthy diet. Fuck Fritos and Chettos, that shit is poison IMO..

Yes, coconut milk and almond milk are much healthier ingredients. There's too much added sugar and inflammation inducing ingredients in the typical American diet. Food can be medicine or poison!!

I'm sorry, but talk about asking for trouble, can you imagine Maureen Dowd getting caught in that self feeding oral circle jerk? Get the munchies, have some ice cream, which gives you the munchies and you eat more ice cream, etc. etc...

We KNOW she ignores any dose info, I can't wait to read THAT article...

IME, Cannabis tends to be an adaptogen. Meaning that it normalizes body weight in people. Lots of folks have actually lost weight after starting Cannabis. Some of the novel effects people experience, like munchies every time you ingest, go away with repeated use. For me to actually get "the munchies" is rare. It has to be the right strain and temp of vape and I will be able to eat but "munchies" . . . hard to say. It does stimulate the digestion though.

One of the things he doesn't mention in the article is the gradual shift of top quality stuff to growing indoors under high intensity lights. The results are often more potent than outdoor grass and it is much easier to control the onset of blooming (or avoid it) under lights by controlling length of the dark period.

I have one word that blows the entire potency argument out of the water. Hashish. People have been hashing the plant pretty much since they have been growing it so this is nothing new. Hash and concentrates have much higher THC than flowers ever will but have we seen a lot of problems because of this? No. People just use less to get where they want to be, kinda like beer vs whiskey except alcohol kills. I have seen plenty of videos of people doing 1/2 gram dabs and even a couple doing full gram dabs and as far as I could tell they seemed fine. Big difference.

For me this isn't an argument about whether more THC is better or not, it is about how the MJ we see on the street has evolved over time. When it was illegal everywhere it was difficult to impossible to do controlled studies and genetic breeding. With the legality has come the ability to be much more scientific and accurate with it's breeding programs and actually build very specific strains (like high CBD low THC Charoletts Web) for very specific results. AND, of course, concentrate in many cases on very high THC concentrations that just were not possible without selective breeding.

Without the breeding programs the greatest variables seemed to be soil quality and sunlight, and places like Hawaii and Jamaica seemed to produce some of the best goods (within easy reach of the US) that we commonly saw here. Then our adventure into southeast asia added new sources (along with a lot of heroin).

But today, while the source of the seeds may matter, the greatest variable are all in the genetics and controlled growing conditions. Or so it would seem to a non-growing consumer.

I've always been skeptical of the claims about modern cannabis being WAAAAAYYYY stronger than back in the 60's & 70's. One of the big differences was that in the old days, it generally wasn't seedless and you'd get seedy flowertops (that sometimes thought it was popcorn!) plus leafy stuff. Now it's all seedless and generally just the buds, so naturally it's more potent. But I clearly remember stuff from the old days where you'd get totally blasted on half a joint.

Well back in the days it was more salvia dominate but do to prohibition everything has become more indica dominate.

A couple interesting news articles:
=============================================
Senators Introduce Bill To End Federal Curbs On Medical Marijuana

"Bipartisan legislation was introduced yesterday in the U.S. Senate proposing to change federal law such that states could regulate the medical use of marijuana without fear of prosecution."
...
"The major aim of the six-part legislation (S.683) is to reclassify marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act to Schedule II, thereby changing the plant from a federally-criminalized substance to one that has recognized medical uses."
=============================================
Some legal arguments why the recent court cases filed against Colorado may fail:

"Under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, the CSA (Controlled Substances Act) takes precedence over Colorado's state law if the two are in conflict as the plaintiffs argue. Colorado says weed is legal, but the CSA says it isn't. Open-and-shut case, right?

Actually, no. "The regulatory regime that Colorado has put in place is not preempted by the Controlled Substances Act," legal professor Sam Kamin, who was part of the task force implementing Colorado's marijuana laws, said in an interview. "I expect those claims to fail." The issue? The Controlled Substances Act dictates federal drug policy -- but it in no way compels states to enforce that policy.

"Congress has no power to compel states to prohibit the cultivation, possession and transfer of marijuana," according to Randy Barnett, an attorney who litigated a Supreme Court case exploring the limits of the CSA. "In the absence of such state prohibition, all such activities are completely legal under state law, notwithstanding that they are illegal under federal law," he writes.

Professor Robert Mikos of Vanderbilt University agrees. "The claim is that Colorado can’t legalize marijuana because it's forbidden under federal law. That’s wrong," he said in an interview. "The federal government can’t force Colorado to criminalize a drug. That would be commandeering, and the court has said that’s not constitutional."

Under current law, federal agents are welcome to waltz in to a state and bust any "legal" marijuana operation they find. But the DEA can't task state and local authorities with enforcing federal law. From that standpoint, state-level marijuana operations are in perfect comportment with the CSA."
