Imagine Smoking while you’re using Roundup.

A Lawyer’s Wet Dream come to fruition.

“I don’t know...I had some excellent Colombian Red and Thai stick in the 70’s that would give anything today a run for the money.”

Maybe I should have worded that “ease of high dosing” or something like that. Even the really good stuff took some work to use. (As I remember almost a Japanese tea ceremony ritual at times!) If you can just eat gummies like, well, candy I’d think you could get in over your head real quick!
Having not used any of the new products, I’m just speculating.

Haha....You're correct. There was a "ritualistic" atmosphere about it as you pulled out one of your vinyl albums and used the cover for cleaning.....
You're probably correct about the gummies, but I never was an 'eater' - was always afraid of not being able to control the dose, even back then.....

Started smoking weed at age 15. Smoked it virtually every day since. I have many, many friends who share this same pot history. All are quite successful sexagenarians.

Now well over 60, Mensa still insists my I.Q. is "150-plus."

Started 3 successful companies back when I was working, semi-retired now.

There are no long-term detrimental effects from pot usage based on the several 50-year cases I have honestly referenced above, though the Government cannot admit this after jailing so many people for using weed, and given their 80-year war on the stuff during which they have manufactured and pushed so many hideous fallacies about it.

It is well past time when these pathetic, ignorant morons should consider getting a life.

Especially nobodys brother who also had an ID that I borrowed at times. Thank goodness consuming a few six packs of Schlitz (yuk) and MD20 (double yuk) prior to a certain birthday didn’t ruin us for life...

AS a young teen back in 1961 Carlsbad NM, a woman who we were acquainted with had been a Texas school teacher back in the 1940s and 50s. She said she had no problems with her Spanish kids, UNLESS they had been smoking marajuana, then they got mean.

In reading Frank J. Dobie’s books on Texas folklore in one book he mentions a man who saw strange things one night and knew it was real as he had not been smoking “mara-juana”.

So, has there been a correlated decrease in violent crimes by teens in those states, you High Timers?

“Ten years from now, there’s going to be a reckoning.””””

There already is a reckoning.

Try to find non-drug using employees today.

And Nevada just passed a law that says employers cannot pre-test a prospective employee for drugs.....But they can explore your social media to no end.

Or, if in a State where it’s illegal, the nearest high school.

Legal pot and legal alcohol are not legal for teenagers. 21 and over.

Smoking the new varieties of pot, especially in teenagers, causes lifetime psychosis and schizophrenia.

Notice there’s no mention of increase teen usage.

Also notice legalization didn’t make weed MORE available. It and all it’s derivatives were always available to any teen that wanted it. For at least the last 30 or 40 years.

This is not news.

This is sensationalism for the anti-pot crowd.

Enjoy.

“Did anyone think legalization wouldn’t result in more teen and overall use and auto fatalities? “

Teen use and traffic fatalities have not increased in any legal state.

Overall use has increased by adults.

A bit late for that concern. Combine teens, driving, texting and pot and guess what you get.
