These Nine States Will Vote on Legalizing Recreational and Medical Marijuana

[goatprairie]

A friend who had non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma said the pills (THC) were not only about 5 times as expensive as an effective dose of the plant, but were not as effective. That was back in the '90s FWIW.

   
"Marijuana in a pill may work ever better as a pain reliever than the smoked form and with fewer harmful side-effects, say experts.
New research, carried out by Columbia University in New York, could undermine the burgeoning U.S. medical marijuana market, which is now estimated to be worth $1.3 billion and expected to reach $9billion in the next three years."

This is from a recent study.  I guess the pills have improved over the years.

The true medicinal part I don't mind, like opoids or any other plant derived drug, but most of the weed thing is about recreational. Though I like a good bottle of cheap Aldi wine from time to time and my cigars, weed is a near obsession with most of the legalization crowd, too many of which are just a subculture of retread hippies. 'Yeah myan, gonna smoke some weed! Weeeeeeed myan! Weed us my life myan!'

From there it's just a bunch of spaced out, burnt out urban/suburban zombies with no life or ambition, just taking up space, and most likely living off welfare and committing petty crimes.

Which is why I'm not a fan of recreational legalization.

I'm against legalization just simply because we have enough drunks on the roadways now....that's all we need are people driving high as a kite.  Scary enough on the roadways now......

My thing is, you do weed and other drugs to get high. Period. Alcohol and tobacco such as cigars, maybe but not necessarily. I like a good glass of wine and a cigar, but I don't necessarily want to get buzzed on either.

So I'm more lenient on those two, but in terms of drunk driving I'm really harsh on that.

driving on a road full of drivers who are stoned to the bone with a phone at 65? Maybe they are trying to get everyone to take the train...

PENNSVILLE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - Police say a pot advocacy company's RV carrying marijuana-laced candy burst into flames on a bridge that connects New Jersey and Delaware, causing lane closures and tying up traffic for hours.
   
Weed World Candies says more than $50,000 in merchandise was destroyed Sunday evening when one of its vehicles heading to Philadelphia from Washington D.C. caught fire on the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
   
The company uses tour vehicles to sell marijuana-laced lollipops and promote the legalization and decriminalization of pot.
   
Firefighters extinguished the blaze. No injuries were reported.
   
The Delaware River and Bay Authority tells NJ.com all northbound lanes were closed for about a half-hour. Two lanes were still closed three hours later.
   
The cause of the fire wasn't immediately clear.

Dems love to put issues like this on the ballot to get out their base in an election year.

Supposedly Hendrix beat his girl friends. Although one ex girl friend denies being beaten by him.
Never got into his music anyway. Nor Joplin. Liked a lot of the Doors.

I don't know about Hendrix beating his girlfriends. Many leftist white rock stars certainly did abuse women and girls - Jackson Brown worked over Daryl Hannah pretty well a few times. Jimmy Page had a fourteen year old girl on tour with him (cuckoo clock sounds), John Mellencamp's keyboard player was a child molester profiled on America's Most Wanted who was eventually arrested in Thailand where he was molesting the children of wealthy Thai families while teaching them piano. Bruce Springsteen  broke up a happy marriage because he stole some guys wife when he met her at a gym (although my feeling is that if she could be seduced by a rock star, she didn't really love the guy anyway, so good riddance). All leftists for the most part and all scum, as far as I am concerned. 

When I showed a conservative black friend the above post, he laughed and then very seriously said, "Most leftist or non-conservative blacks beat their girlfriends - especially those who are into rap-hip hop. It's like cheating on your wife in the Hispanic culture- beating up your girlfriend is just accepted as normal in the black sub-culture."

I believe him.

True, if they don't get too stoned to get to the polls in time.
