I smoke occasionly (legal) I got some chewables…WOW, they was strong. Haven’t had one since. BUT not as bad as the time I made brownies…I was a little to generous with the weed, thought I’d never come down!
I seem to remember, but can’t remember where, “I get high on the good things in life – a clean windscreen, a powerful gasoline, and a haircut.”
We had a lot of cannabis tourism in Colorado, once it became legal. However, people really misjudged the potency of edibles. They would have a gummy, and think that they had not really been affected, so they had several more. Very bad results.
I thought Trudeau was firmly in the “cannabis never harmed anyone” school of thought. Is that only if you smoke it or has he finally realized that “less harmful” is not the same thing as “not harmful at all”.
Nothing better than a 60’s pothead lamenting the good old days of shoebox lids full of stems & seeds you don’t need. Just remember, you wanted it, you got it. We now have weed that has 70% THC. Funny thing is, here in Kalifornia street prices are down to $200 a lbs or less.
At the federal level marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug, thanks to the influence of the first US Commissioner of Narcotics, Harry Anslinger, who served from 1930 to 1962. Here are a few of his deep, scientifically validated medical insights:
“Marihuana leads to pacifism and Communist brainwashing.”
“Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.”
“You smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother.”
“Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.”
“The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”
“Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.”
“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Nēgroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Nēgroes, entertainers, and any others.”
Trouble with edibles is that they last too long if you need to be somewhere in public. A tiny puff on a pipe gives a brief high. Joints are too smokey, too messy, and too likely to get smoked at one go.
On a weekend I took a shortcut through a high school campus. I saw the wrapper for peanut butter cup edibles. Huh. What is a teacher doing using this shortcut? Maybe underage people are using edibles.
In grade school or maybe middle school we sang this parody version of Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”:
Marijuana THC. Find out what it means to me. Angel dust and PCP. Find out what it means to me.
Oh, dude, no. They’re still smoking it. I cannot leave the house without getting passed by people who REEK of weed. On the street, in stores, on the bus, you name it. And the supposed best variety smells exactly like a skunk. Such fun for someone with asthma, I tell you….
I’m not sure I knew before today that it’s legal anywhere in the USA. I rarely pay attention to anything that I don’t think is worth paying attention to. Personally, I wouldn’t recognize the stuff if I smelled it. I’m just, indeed, high on life, as stated in the most deadpan of monotones.

And the great thing is, all this stuff happens ONLY in inner cities.
Not at all in rural communities, the suburbs, and especially never in Republican gatherings.
Because Law&Order, Family Values, Christian Something Something.

Edibles seem to be the thing, but now that’s it’s legal, I smell it all the time, and it smells like skunk. Awful.

THC, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine- all mind-altering chemicals. And usually the line of acceptability is at one’s toes.

Don’t let anyone kid you, Weed is not a harmless party drug. Go to your local ER and ask the Docs there about their experience with Weed.

The two huge problems with legalization:
1. Keeping it away from kids.
2. Keeping people from driving under the influence.
And, by the way, don’t go near Harry the Horse.

Addiction and dependence, no matter the substance or the indoctrination is what’s harmful…Self-control and perspective give a pathway to survival.
