In the mid-70s I was able to get seedy Mexican weed for $8 an ounce. It worked well enough.

Now you can’t even get a gram for $8. But the sinsemilla is considerably more potent.

I thought about getting CBD. It’s certainly widely available. Even one of the few video stores still around here had a sign out front saying they have it. I have a friend who sells it for at least twice the price for what I get it for it elsewhere. Even Rush has a sponsor who sells CBD.

Instead, I think I’ll opt for a chiropractor or steroid shots for my chronic neck pain. I haven’t given up on trying to find cannabis with a relatively high % of CBD. I might try that before I go with the shots, just because I probably should avoid using any kind of steroid for a while.

Of course but potheads will never admit this, no matter their level of intelligence!

It’s purely visceral, like Trump haters, makes no sense whatsoever but they simply hate and despise Donald Trump and unfortunately I know one of them.

Lots of friends who don’t like Trump and want him gone - yesterday but one woman who literally loses it when Donald Trump’s name comes up, lots like people who despise science behind the ill effects of marijuana and anyone who brings the subject into the conversation.

FReep on.

puff your weed if you want, you’re increasing the chance of lung, esophagus, stomach, and other cancers. So toke it up if you’re dumb enough to do it.

Just as with tobacco - inform people of the consequences, then leave adults free to choose. It's the American way.

I learned about a recovering alcoholic in his 60’s the other day who uses. Instead of pounding down coffee and cigarettes, he chews edibles. Dunno what I think about that, but legalization is sure bringing on some changes.

If you get your morality from your state legislature, you got problems.

That wouldn't qualify as a recovery as AA defines it ... but you can't fatally overdose on edibles, unlike alcohol.

I live in Washington and I can tell you that MJ can become habit forming very easy.

Question:
What do two christians say to each other at the pot store?

Oh, high.....

I hear of 3 and 4 dollar grams. Doesn’t matter if you do ‘t smoke. Sometimes it’s like zucchini. Everywhere, and free.

Steroids have some severe side-effects.
