Hello:

Nate Silver, of 538.com predicts marijahoochie will be legalized in 2022. He's been right on so far. It'll only have been 109 years that we were screwing over our people whilst we sipped Cabernet... It's OK. I'm ashamed for you.

Evening Excon,

The only reason why I can see cannbis not being legalised is the fact that we are trying to educate people to stop smoking and therefore wouldn't in good taste to legalise another form of smoking

Obviously medical pot is on the increase and I think that is the only argument that I can see would work on the issue

I've read the articles where the DOJ has recommended not prosecuting for small amounts of marijuana. It's just an evitability that pot will be legalized someday, but what day?

I really hope the next step will be legal recognition of the difference between marijuana and hemp. A new industry right now would be wonderful.

I'd agree, except for the fact that nicotine is poison that KILLS, and marijuana isn't. So, it's MORE than good taste. It's life and death.

Evening Ex,

Whereas I understand the difference between the two, and there is a big difference, the sure fact that cannabis is largely taken in with a certain amount of tabbaco

I appreciate that, teas, cakes, and bongs (Filled with blueberry slushy!) are all clean ways of consumption, we all know the majority will be inhalation

I do find it funny though that in the UK the police and hospitals have a nightmare on Fri/Sat evenings with drink related incidents

And yet, a bunch people sitting around a coffee table enjoying life causes only one problem - whose turn is it to put the kettle on :)

They should do it right and legalize all drugs.

I don't like having decisions made for me.

Mixing tobacco with cannabis is a European thing. Here in the US, we smoke the pure stuff...

excon

Well I didn't know that - that explains how we see it being smoked in the movies - pain in the neck relighting it every single intake :)

Correctamundo. Legalization, taxation, regulation and education along with treatment on demand, will REDUCE overall drug use, in my view. At the very lease it'll do a better job of keeping it OUT of the hands of children.

excon

After the prohibition of alcohol in the US it was decided that any banning of products leads to more problems than it tried to stop in the first place

So why do we have illegal drugs? Alcohol, prescription drugs, tobacco are all available and yet they are just as if not worst than your typical illegals

It's a nuts system we live in

pain in the neck relighting it every single intake :)Hello again, p:

Or, viewed another way, if it didn't go out between tokes, what a pain in the neck it would be seeing all that good smoke rise into the air instead of MY body.

Hahahaha, that prooves my point that there is always two ways to look at something :)

I understand that medicinal cannabis is legal in some states, as for europe, it is legal in some countries, tolerented in others and down right illegal in some

Here in the UK, the police went on a rampage clamping down on personal growers, growing for their own needs

This caused a massive vacuum, of which the viod was filled by mostly asian immigrants setting up 2000+ plant farms by renting out properties and converting them in every room

So here we have a typical example where nobody was hurting anybody except themselves if any and then the results played into the hands of organised criminals

What about yourself in your neck of the woods excon, what's the penalties?

I live in Seattle, home of the Seattle Hempfest | August 21-22, 2010 (http://hempfest.org/drupal/node). The NW is known for the best homegrown pot in the world.

I also happen to have a get out of jail free card - I mean prescription for medical pot. But, because it's medicine, I promise not to enjoy it. ;)

Always been curious about medical pot, is this the normal grown everyday skunk, White Widow, Ak47, northern lights, ice etc or is it a breed that is grown under regulations to control the strength?

Hello again, p:

When the people passed the medical marijuana law, they didn't provide for any distribution. So, the bad news is you have to venture into the black market for your medicine.. The good news is you have to venture into the black market for your medicine..

Or, you can grow a few plants right from the comfort of your own home. I've got me some Northern Lights, some Kush and some Train Wreck. I even have a few God's Gift.

Don't know about you, but if my stuff doesn't go out when not toked on it's not that great stuff. Many years ago I had stuff that after one or two tokes it would go out and that stuff was worse than killer weed. It was Colombian Gold. No friend of mine could successfully smoke an entire joint without it going out. FYI the good stuff always goes out when not tended to. The inferior stuff happily burns away.

The good stuff goes out because of the higher pollen content, the pollen retaining more moisture than the leaves and flowers. That's why I always liked just the pollen, you know, hashish.

Cheers for that cats, didn't know it was the pollen moisture rather than just poor combustability.

Out of interest, do you grow over the nine months or do you place them under the liights for 3 months?

Hello again, p:

I use hydroponics and high output sodium lights. I turn a crop every 60 days. I'm probably the best grower in the world.

excon

I only ask ex, as I was talking to a chap earlier this year who was growing out in the sticks of South Carolina, he was describing the processes of what he had to do for his blueberries to stave off unwanted pests - both man and beast - lights, a lot easier to control by the sounds of things

I've heard that marijuana possession is already legal in about 12 or 13 states. I believe Oregon was the first to legalize it in the early 70s. I think it's a matter of time before most states follow suit, although I think there will be some holdouts in areas like the deep south and Utah.

Afternoon

The last week in the UK has seen a scientific advisor fired from his job on the Drugs Council which advises the government on drugs, for speaking out on the stupidty of having alcohol and tabbacco as legal and cannabis as illegal

His argument has been one that shows on every level, that cannabis should be legal and tobacco illegal!
