In some cases, such as California, consumers got greedy, wanted "legalization" asap, took a deep breath, closed their eyes and approved a terrible initiative that locked in hard-coded tax levels, plant numbers and other inflexible errors. Everything else that has happened there followed from that initial stupidity.Cities and municipalities got greedy taxing weed and the black market thrives, I wonder why
?
I wish the UK gvt was that stupid too! I'm fucking fed up of being a criminal!
The pre-"legalization" situation in California was not a choice between criminality and legalization. We already had medical marijuana, which was available to anybody willing to pay a doctor $50 for a recommendation letter. If you got caught with cannabis and didn't have a letter, the fine was $100 or something like that. Consumers rushed to approve a flawed initiative written by rich people who wanted to make a killing off legalized marijuana. You see the results.
For me the golden age was the 70's. It was illegal and cops would bust your ass if they caught you, but we could get things like Nepalese temple ball hash and real Jamaican sativa. Mmmm...

The Supreme Court Nuked Cannabis Rescheduling With Its Chevron Ruling (Op-Ed)
“Bottom line: Absent Congressional action, the move to Schedule III just isn’t going to happen anytime soon.” By Deb Tharp, NuggMD The regulatory state has been in full force since, ironically, 1984, with the institution of the Chevron doctrine. Chevron has required courts to defer to the...
I'm an American up in Canada(Newfoundland) for several months per usual, as I've owned a little remote place here for more than 25 years. You are dead wrong about America having the best weed situation on the planet!While I agree with literally all of the criticisms of our legalization, a little perspective is nice. America has the best weed situation on planet Earth.
Up here its legal nationally and in each province. One of my friends has a huge bag of buds and like two pounds of cannabutter that they took home legally on an airplane! from a farming friend of their's further west. Admittedly I'm not familiar with the situation in provinces other than those in the Maritimes. But around here, particularly for some reason in Nova Scotia, the quality of the product is the best I've ever seen anywhere, USA or CA. The prices have gone down and are now better than my two nearby legal states in the US. So decent to low prices and simply outstanding flower and concentrates. Only item that seems to be a little better in the states is edibles. Of course the US could do better if it elected a D President...Hahaha! F the phony "Christian" R prohibitionists.
Years ago I used to visit some friends in Vancouver BC. I would always take a walk around Gastown and buy some stuff on the street. I don't know if it was strictly legal back then but it was looked at with an indulgent eye by the authorities. Some pretty great weed, too.I'm an American up in Canada(Newfoundland) for several months per usual, as I've owned a little remote place here for more than 25 years.

I gave @florduh a pass on that statement because Canada is part of the Americas. But being a very self centered country like we are, we have turned America into only meaning the US of A.I'm an American up in Canada(Newfoundland) for several months per usual, as I've owned a little remote place here for more than 25 years.

The Netherlands has an excellent weed situation. Brazil just legalized nationally.Ohhh man, I'm so fucking stupid. You're 100% right. In my defense, I completely forgot Canada exists
In the past, I've considered moving there. It's the only place outside of the US with a good weed situation. But then I figured, once the frozen north starts melting and exposing mining opportunities, we'll end up annexing it anyway. Around the same population as Cali after all.
Happy Fourth of July!
Right from my nightmares to your keyboard. I laughed when I read it but I've long thought about how much sense it makes.
) and lies more than a rug runs for office again!? I don't wanna be friends with these guys.
I hope not but I can't shake the feeling that the "fix" might be "in" with regard to Trump winning or stealing the upcoming election. Sleepy Joe kicked him to the curb once before but not sure he's still capable after what happened at the debate.Right from my nightmares to your keyboard.

Dude. Just get your shit straight politically because the US is giving me a heart attack. Convicted felon who started an insurrection (oh, and accuses others of treason
You seem like a good dude. Don't know how you manage up in florduh.
Edit: And yeah, the orange menace stacking the Supreme Court has fucked over the move to Sched III as well. He's a dream.
I find this very insightful. I'm a media junkie but have never seen anyone make this observation - it makes total sense. thanks!
