You may wish you died if you green out enough, but you are correct, no one has ever died from O.D.'d on cannabis.
Unfortunately I don't think I can espouse my opine on the federal government and marijuana and not get booted from this here enjoyable place so I'll just say ... "Roll another one, just like the other one. You've been holding on to it, and I sure would like a hit!"

When I showed up as a freshman at my college dormitory in 1970 there was a notice on a bulletin board explaining that marijuana was now far more powerful than it used to be and warning us about the dangers of 'bad trips'. 50 years later they are still saying this shit!

I can see where a young newbie might get his/her hands on a joint of super strong sativa, then wreck their parents car. Not sure if the risk of that happening is the same or higher today than it has been all along.
Pot has always been illegal for teens but old-timers like me got away with all kinds of stupid shit, like driving inebriated, which only serves as a bad example for todays "yute". Lots of issues to consider, the changing world versus an animal house mentality.

The push for legal weed faces hostile ground in red states
Legalization efforts are increasingly focused on staunchly conservative states more resistant to loosening marijuana rules.
I remember seeing these graphs when Box Brown shared them. I believe he is the one who made them originally. Back then I was struck how Canopy Growth is fucking huge. Especially because they are essentially a Ponzi scheme. Now that Cresco and Columbia Care are merge there is another giant brand. (Although I think they missed their deadline).
These graphs are not just helpful to know which brands to avoid, if possible. They are also very useful when talking to your state reps about cannabis. Any one of these shows the clear case for home grow, if you state lacks that.
I look how smart legislation that prevented MSO lobbyists from limiting the market in California, Colorado, and especially Oregon caused Curaleaf to pull out of those states. The market stayed strong and they took their mids with them. :-)

I take it these are garden-variety, sarcastic, "shaking your fist at the sky" type statements....?
Exactly why I posted them...
I've been getting cheap ($15-20) local 1/8ths lately of the brand "Road Tripper" to hold me over til a Maine run and it says it's Sira Naturals flower. Now Sira was one of the first medical dispos here and actually had comparatively good though expensive flower at the time. So now I found out that whatever crap Sira grows and doesn't want to put on their shelves, they off load to this brand owned by AYR Wellness that distributes it all over the state... that way they don't have their name all over it, just in the fine print on the back. They buy from many vertically integrated dispensaries in the state and "Road Tripper" is their boof brand.
AYR Wellness probably owns Sira Naturals outright now anyway, and I could easily find out but I don't really care... I never go there anymore even though their ounce pricing is a third of what it was 2 years ago. Fuck MSO. All of 'em. The ones that grow only grow mids at best. Period. They don't give a shit about patients, medicine or even quality, only the bottom line... the epitome of being "only in it for the money."

What causes the pungent "skunk" aroma of marijuana? (Hint: Not terpenes)
Many have claimed that only terpenes drive cannabis' smells and shape effects. But science keeps finding other, important stink molecules.

Here’s the chemistry behind marijuana’s skunky scent
Newly ID’d sulfur compounds in cannabis flowers give the plant its telltale odor. One, prenylthiol, is what also gives “skunked beer” its funky flavor.

Fwiw, I have used a debit card at several shops in Massachusetts going back a few years now, even at a gray market store in NY.
MC act like they just found out about this, and omg!!
I hope this is some kind of precursor to a change in status quo.
