Yup...check the map in the first post....Washington is the other state they legalized it for recreational use too (though they haven't set up the stores to buy it there yet). And I'm sure you could handle the girls, Stu.

It seems many outlets in Colorado are already out of stock or very close to it with regards to recreational marijuana. That's even despite the price being around double that of exactly the same thing that's reserved for people purchasing "medical marijuana". Washington is slated to start it's similar program this Summer and it sounds like several more states are getting in line for similar.

I don't smoke the stuff anymore as it's not good for my mental health, however if you get him stoned before the flight he won't be shouting plane rage, he'll be cracking bad jokes instead. TBH I'm not sure which is worse.

Sorry, I got distracted. Yes Stu, pot is legal here too. The state just hasn't decided who will get the licenses to sell so right now you can buy it on the street corner and not be breaking the law, but the person selling to you is. Crazy stuff.

there's a law like that here, bug, but it involves other nocturnal activities. Prostitution is actually not illegal, but kerb crawling and soliciting is.... as is tax evasion by pimps lol

Lots has changed in the States since we last posted on this thread. Many more States now have legalized cannabis for medical use, and several have for recreational use too. Here on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, the State legalized it for both, but don't think dispensaries have opened here just yet, but are bound to soon once the licenses from the State are sorted. Personally I have changed too. Ironically once it became legal, something in me shifted and I broke the habit I had for many years, really having been forced to stop for a week a couple of years ago when I was away with my employer and friend who doesn't partake since it just puts her to sleep. I resumed the habit again last year, this time adding edibles when it was too easy to get them from a friend who was newly making them. Adding I only ate tiny amounts, almost homeopathically in terms of dose, maybe because I'm small and very sensitive these days to its effects. But I found once again, over time, even edibles made me too reactive and so I stopped them after just a short stint last summer, and stopped any puffing again a couple of months ago because I was away again and hardly had any for almost two weeks, so didn't feel like it when I got home. Occasionally now I'll have a puff at night or with a close friend when I visit her who uses it daily and successfully for a neurological condition, but other than that it's not really part of my life or me anymore, though at any point it could change again. Saw this in a memory post of mine elsewhere this morning, so sharing here. Your thoughts?

Medical Marijuana is legal where I live in Minnesota USA. However, I've heard that they make you jump through a million hoops to get a 'script' and then it's very expensive. And of course, no 'high'~
Was given some pot brownies awhile back. So rich and chocolatey, even frosted. Nibbled on one, so tasty I nibbled some more...Borderline psychotic within a couple of hours. Yikes~
Will never do that ever again<<<

In my opinion its an herbal medication and should only be used as such. I might have a cocktail every now and then with dinner or socially, but I stop at one due to my former alcoholism. I do not agree with recreational use of meds, period.
I might have been a city kid cause all my cousins/friends lived in Queens (were I originally grew up till we moved to L.I.), but we didn't do drugs. The worst things we did were fight, drink a few beers, smoke cigarettes, and graffiti on walls. We all knew way much better to stay out of trouble. Our parents were all tough survivors of WW2, and we were not spoiled my any means of the imagination.

I agree, hou , that balance is key as it's all too easy to take something as a special treat recreationally and turn it into a habit, whether alcohol or cannabis, or other substance one likes and might easily over-do too, like sugar, caffeine, food, etc. For medical use, it's a different story imo. So I was thinking about this subject this morning when posting about my dad on backcreek7 's music playlist a great song by Clapton, 'My Father's Eyes'. See, my dad had glaucoma for years and I was always surprised his eye doctors and specialists never suggested he try cannabis to help treat it. Instead he was on a plethora of eye drops for so long that enslaved him to the intensive schedule and when he finally lost the whole middle of one eye due to a terrible eye infection he got three years ago on the last bucket list trip with my mum, I had to do his eye drops for him for a while, but nothing like what it became the last year or so when he was doing them himself again. So, his quality of life went way downhill with his eye drops schedule, never mind progressive diminished sight, and no matter what operation they did to try and help, no matter what drops, he did go blind and it really didn't take that long. Meanwhile, his heart was struggling that no one noticed and in fact he passed over a two week period from three heart attacks end of last summer, three weeks after we had a huge family reunion here, so it could not have been better timing in terms of he got and we all got a wonderful sending off party with him, so to speak. But this is all besides the point. I have always been led to believe glaucoma is the one and maybe the first disease cannabis was being used to help treat medically and I couldn't understand why his doctors never prescribed it for him since he seemed the perfect candidate to me. I would try and suggest it to him, but being a doctor of biomedical nuclear engineering (a totally different mind than mine), he wouldn't really take any heed of my suggestions, though had no issue with anyone in our family who smoked it, though we never did in front of our parents out of respect. Actually, my dad passed at 88, but as a young and handsome man at college, he was a bit of a bad boy and I'm sure had it been around then as it is today, he would definitely have indulged as he was a tobacco smoker originally, until it was proven medically to be bad for you. But back to this subject, I realized he wasn't going to stray from his doctor's intensive medical treatment of him, and in fact it was a relief for everyone when he did pass before the reality of his blindness would have become so debilitating and depressing for him. Already he was feeling badly at how much of a weight and risk he was for my mom, also 88 last summer. So, I decided just now to look up the truth of using marijuana for medical treatment of glaucoma and found this, the most recent post on youtube explaining why maybe his specialists never prescribed cannabis for him in any form. I will have to research further to see how many more validate the benefits to find support of its use, but found this was really interesting.

Being I have had grand mal seizure activity in the past from severe head injuries in a car accident I do get it. I have A.S. (ankylosing spondylitis) and suffer from very painful chronic eye inflammation. CBD oil does help with my overall body inflammation as well as flax seed, and hawthorn berry.
