I'd be okay with it if someone could invent a strain that didn't smell like a burning skunk.

I HATE the way that crap smells. And everywhere it's legal, that's all you can smell when you walk outside.
What a bunch of BS. I go to Denver multiple times a year, and I have NEVER smelled it outside.

"Just legalize it for medicinal purposes."

"Just legalize it for possession of small amounts for consumption."

"Just legalize it for low level distribution."

"Just fully remove all criminality."

"Just let us smoke it in public."

"You cannot discriminate against pot smokers."

"You have to publicly celebrate when I smoke in public."

"YOU HAVE TO SMOKE IT OR YOU ARE A BIGOT!!!"




That's how this works, right?

I've never understood the concept of 'a little bit is legal but a lot is not.'
Because a little bit is usually for personal consumption, a lot is for distribution. Tough concept, I know.
That's not a tough concept, it's a stupid concept. How is anyone supposed to have 'a little bit for personal consumption' if it's illegal to distribute it? Like the pothead. Illogical.

Do you really think those that partake in a plant on occasion care about anything past removing criminality? I sure as hell don't.

You are trying too hard.
True or false" Following legalization, there will be a lobbying effort to prohibit pre-employment testing for weed. After all, its legal now, just like alcohol, right?


There are employers in Texas that test for nicotine prior to employment, this would be the same

I always wonder how many on these threads are boozin. How many will end up killing themselves with the poison. How many have committed atrocities under the influence of alcohol.

Yeah. Weed does none of those/

Well, it's just a statement of fact, and it's about as well reasoned as your post.

If freedom means I don't have to pay for your stupid decisions, I would agree. Unfortunately, if you want to be an unproductive pot head on welfare - then I shouldn't have to enable your 'freedom'.

I don't know what you do. You don't know what I do. But running the averages, I'd say my net worth vastly exceeds yours. Maybe I'm wrong and you are outside the averages.

I love weed. I smoke weed. And I do just fine.

I said 'if you want to be an unproductive pot head". It doesn't apply to you or Elon Musk, but applies to many. And i doubt your net worth 'vastly' exceeds mine.

Like I said, maybe not. That's why I included the caveat. I don't have a vast fortune, but I know I have significantly more than average.

I have a successful company and I am a productive member of society. But I also like getting baked out of my skull. But I also like exercising, meditation, playing with my kids, loving my dog, cooking, reading and watching movies.

But seriously, stop blaming all the societal ills on a plant when it's clearly a broken system enabled by blissfully unaware pinheads parroting propaganda profusely.

Happy for you Green. And you should have the freedom to make your own choices. I'm not against pot, I'm tired of paying excessive taxes to support half the population. I'm simply saying if you are taking money from government, on parole, etc. I have a hard time supporting your freedom to stay home and smoke weed all day, pay for your food stamps, your cell phone, etc.

Are you kidding? You can smell it in the taxi on the way to downtown from the airport.

Not a single person owes any portion of their success to smoking pot other than growers and dealers. It is a crutch for the mentally weak and general losers. End of rant. If it bothers you, take another hit.

So stop paying taxes.

Person would not be arrested for an ounce or less. They would have 6 months to pay a $500 fine. Still punitive, But doesn't ruin people's lives.




In Houston it's less than a slap on the wrist for 4oz or less. One of the only things I'll credit modern day Houston for.

I'll counter:
Tobacco =/= cigarettes

Tobacco and cannabis can both be used healthily, and in mystical settings.

I have only taken a taxi once in Denver, after the CU Game at Mile High to get back to our car, and I couldn't smell pot.

My daughter and several of our friends live there. We spend a ton of time in public space there all over town and I have never smelled it. Nice try though Mr 'you know how I know?'

Look, I don't doubt some of you have smelled it. Sorry if that bothers you. I'm just as offended by cigarettes. They are disgusting.

Most of the people I know who use it don't smoke it. They either vape it or take edibles. I'm sure many people do smoke it but the percentage of people who do is smaller than it used to be. There's a large group of people that don't like smoking anything.

how is it worse? Are y'all talking about cigarettes our just actual tobacco? Can't both give you lung cancer from being carcinogenic?

Isn't all the crap they add to tobacco what makes cigarettes so bad?
What about all the chemicals they use in weed?
