Duh!
Smokin!

I recently came across an article out of Manchester, UK about somebody accidentally supplying those little booze filled chocolates to pre-schoolers at a Valentine’s Day party.

I never cared for chocolate and alcohol myself. The first time I had some, the booze was kirsch, and turned me off of kirsch.

When I make fondue, I throw a cap-full of cheap cherry brandy into the pot just as a peaen to the traditional kirsch ingredient.

in colorado, the solution is to switch exclusively to edibles if you don’t want to give up your dope ...

Well, they did study this years ago. MJ smokers had substantially worse lung problems than tobacco smokers.

But the correct answer is to not smoke anything. Best lungs AINEC.

LOL

I wonder what type of stampede that would cause if I donated 20 lbs at the food shelf.

[NobleFree]

There is no federal oversight, so growers can do anything they want.

States are unable to regulate?

[NobleFree]

As well as causing COPD, emphysema and lung cancer. Much worse than tobacco.

I call BS. Link?

very similar to the type of inflammation that cigarette smoking can cause

Ban tobacco.

You’d have to find it. I read it in the 1990’s before the modern push for legality.

Old friend, in the eight states where marijuana is completely illegal there are a total of 440 persons who have died from C
coronavirus so far. This is an average of 55 deaths per state. We have had 17,569 coronavirus deaths in the other 42 states or 418 deaths per state. 55 vs 418... hmm, maybe we could have saved a lot more lives by banning marijuana completely instead of trashing the economy.

If you must have your intoxicating substances, you’re better off using edibles or some other way that doesn’t tar up your lungs.

I read somewhere about college students giving themselves alcohol enemas.

Apply that to pot, I guess.

But (no pun) then what other diseases have you sensitized that orifice to?

And/or by banning tobacco.

Worse even.

That’s what medical teams say is causing young people to die with the virus.

Young folks are addicted to vaping!

[skepsel]

Nah, whatcha want are edibles!

[TheStickman]

The anti-freedom brigade is back with more BS regarding cannabis I see, SMH....

Been using cannabis daily since Feb 2015 & every aspect of my life has been immensely improved. Between cannabis & my toxin-free way of eating, I’m not worried about my immune system falling down on the job.

Ban tobacco.

I guess no one told you... Tobacco is on the way out. Smoking is no longer “cool”; it makes you look like a fool. Why waste your energy trying to ban somerhing that is already on the way out?

That is why "big tobacco" is already moving into marijuana and vaping products. Marijuana workers were declared essential here in Washington during the "stay at home" order while construction workers have been told not to go to work.

Why? It might have something to do with tax revenues. Because of ever increasing consumption Marijuana now brings in twice as much as much revenue for the state as alcohol and tobacco combined. It has become both a recession proof and Covid-19 proof investment. RJ Reynolds thanks you for your efforts here being a useful stooge.
