This State Will Make Marijuana History Come November

We have 2 Medical Marijuana Dispensaries here in York (PA), and they’re more heavily-guarded than any bank I’ve ever seen. Recreational pot probably isn’t too far off the horizon.

The Rats have perfected putting high rat turnout proposals on the November ballots. Wake up GOP. Get these damn things on the Primary ballots.

I hate drugs. I hate pot. But make it legal in nys already. I’m sick and tired of tying up the courts for a “violation” and 6 month acod. In NYC they don’t even bother with a violation.

Or, failing that, support them as pro-individual-liberty initiatives - so voters know that for the GOP liberty is a principle not just an occasionally useful slogan.

The first is the South Dakota Marijuana and Hemp Initiative, which, if approved, would lead to amendments of the state's constitution. This ballot measure would allow persons aged 21 and over to possess, use, transport, and distribute cannabis, with possession and distribution limits set at one ounce.

This is quite a remarkable about-face for SD.

South Dakota is the only state in the union that prohibits internal possession of marijuana.

If you smoke pot in Colorado, then drive through South Dakota, you're in violation of their possession laws and are subject to a potential penalty of a year in jail and a $2,000 fine.

They should - as should tobacco smokers (and chewers for their ailments).

Just curious, is hash still popular? I haven’t heard it mentioned in many years.........

[Gene Eric]

The greedy, corrupt scum can’t manage budgets, and instead decriminalize whatever’s necessary to increase tax revenue.

Too bad a demand couldn’t be made to ban the taxation of all tobacco products.

“I hate drugs.”

Before the VA quit treating vets for chronic pain, they used to give me 5mg morphine per day.

Do you hate that?

[NobleFree]

I'm given to understand there's still a market for THC concentrates - it has been a while since I've heard the term "hash".

[gcparent]

DO what you have to do. Spouse takes all sorts medication for chronic pain. I don’t even take vitamins. The ER gave my kid morphine for a shoulder dislocation this week. 3 hour wait he couldn’t take the pain any longer as he waited to have it put back in.. When the orthopedist came out to speak with me he said he never gives morphine that it’s really not that strong. Go figure.

And then there is this . . .

THERE’S NO STANDARDIZED TEST TO DETECT HIGH DRIVERS

(01/07/20)INN

Law enforcement is struggling with the issue of how to best detect and prevent drivers from getting behind the wheel high.

Executive Director of the Illinois Sheriff’s Association Jim Kaitschuk says there are complications for tracking people who drive under the influence of marijuana. Kaitschuk says there is no standardized test to detect high drivers.

[NobleFree]

Kaitschuk says there is no standardized test to detect high drivers.

So give them the old roadside tests: walk a straight line, etc. It may not be enough for a conviction, but it will get them off the road that night.

[chris37]

Hash has always been really obscure.

I used to be able to get very good hash in New Orleans.

What’s coming up these days is dabs, which is concentrated THC with no plant matter whatsoever.

The taste of this is very similar to hash.

[NobleFree]

Also, people who before legalization didn't use marijuana because it was illegal, will after legalization not drive stoned because that remains illegal - so legalization won't substantially increase DUI.

[Mr. Blond]

Hash is passe. The kids are into “wax” and “shatter”.

[umgud]

Now that’s a good idea.

Comparing law abiding people with stoners? Apples and oranges.
