Here the Cons are starting to advertise on tv explaining why weed is bad and how its much more potent than 30 years ago! (this isn't your father's weed!) its like addressing parents... They're only doing it cause the liberals are ahead in the polls and THEY are talking about legalizing it nation wide and so we have to scare people into thinking its a bad idea. The thing is advertising about the ills of weed in Quebec is a waste of money, people have been ready for this here in decades. No parents is concerned about their kids doing it i'm pretty sure. It just makes the cons appear laughably backward.

it is mind blowing. like i want a list of people for voted for him so we can sterilize them all

medical MJ in FL also failed because it fell short of super majority

sad really. i was approached to sign the petition to ******* it on the ballot at least 10 times in the past couple years.

i think we all to some extent expected rick scott to win. i am pleasantly surprised by the small margin by which amendment 2 failed to pass. it's kind of nice. people are talking very openly about it on facebook. I think until now people have been wary to explicitly express support, but now they see that 57% voted yes, people whom I've never seen talk about it are getting pissed off on facebook. mark my words: this will pass in 2016

D has a chronic pain condition, which I've mentioned once or twice. She had cancer surgery 10 years ago wherein they took out a golfball sized chunk of muscle in her shoulder. The initial operation resulted in unavoidable nerve damage and later on developed two herniated discs, not uncommon for someone with musculoskeletal issues. On top of that her endometriosis incapacitates her every month when aunt flo comes. It's not unusual for her to pass out due to the pain.

She never really smokes weed. However, I bring home a half eighth every now and then and share it with her when shark week starts. Opiates work to an extent, but the tolerance develops very quickly. But nothing works quite like the devil's lettuce. It becomes a normal period. It doesn't upend our lives.

People who voted no on this should be ashamed.

THE DRUG DEALER PROTECTION ACT

that's why they call it the chronic

fuck the state of Oregon

You're hilarious about weed

And you're a sloppy degenerate

Oh come on

yeah i did expect him to win but you know, i still hoped he wouldn't

and yeah - about D and her pain issues - i hope she finds a solution to her problem. :/ sucks that old white people feel that voting no to something like medical MJ is justified.

charmbag, you think weed shouldn't be legalized?

I think so many things ideally shouldn't be legalized but it's like who am I to spit in the winds of change

at the very least, medical MJ is obviously justified. do you have any reason why it shouldn't be legalized for medical use?

medical mj was already legal in oregon and I never complained

i mean i think all drugs should be legalized in an ideal world. but weed is a no brainer.

oh

I totally get the importance for it medically. As for making it legal to everyone - ugh... If they can make it not smell so fucking foul, that would be great. I have a friend who likes it and he always reeks. And I find tobacco smell to be fine; (even downright sexy when mingling with certain aftershaves) but pot just hits my senses like a ton of bricks...!

Pot smells greaattt

I find one of life's great sadnesses to be the fact that we can never know our own scent. Philosophy related.

It's strange how a person's ego builds up an entire existence to operate within and there's a possibility that it's an entirely false construct compared to other people's perceptions.

puts on two princes

That's because we stink. My regular scent is "eau de manky crotch" - its quite a sour note on the senses...

pot brownie

I don't mind pot despite not being a user but they need to stop making stoner films. They're only funny high and i don't get high.

though i did enjoy some of Pineapple Express. I think anyway, it was a while back.

Actually though junkies movies are even worse. LOOK, LOOK HOW BAD HEAVY DRUG IS, OMG LOOK HOW LOW THESE PEOPLE HAVE FALLEN, LOOK AT THEIR AWFUL LIVES, IITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE TOO! Yeah yeah, boring. Its misery porn. Exception made for Trainspotting cause it has a sense of humor. And Renton quits and fucks over his junkie friends. Which is a good message.

But yeah...stoner films.:noway:

While I'm ashamed that people voted no on prop 2, I think I'm more upset that for decades now every time I go downtown I'm surrounded by idiots with clip boards collecting signatures for some marijuana law.

Really you idiots couldn't even get out and vote? Only 3.3 million people came out to vote for medical marijuana?

It didn't fail because people voted against it, it failed because idiots didn't come out and vote for it, this also probably would have pushed Scott out.

What.

Indeed, depending on your definition everything besides basic emotions and reactions are constructs which depend on other people's perceptions of you.

drug abuse is a mental health issue, it is not criminal

obviously someone who commits crime to fuel a drug habit deserves to be prosecuted.

otherwise, it is my opinion that enforcement of drug crimes for drug abusers does much more harm than good.

if you took all drug users, gave them a free rehab/detox meds/therapy whenever they wanted, provided them with pure pharmaceutical grade drugs and medically safe places to take drugs, there would be very little drug crime (if any) - both on a supply side, and a user side. there would be a lot more "functioning addicts", and while that is not ideal, it is better than addicts who are stealing and getting hep C etc. putting public money into counseling and rehab etc rather than jails to house drug users would do more good in the long run.

wanting to feel good is human nature. doing it often and with hard drugs hints at a different mental health issue that needs exploration.

i mean, i could have been arrested for possession of drugs many times. it would have decidedly ruined a lot of my opportunities - just having a record, even though I no longer use drugs and have most of my life ahead of me. That's ridiculous.
