My state just decriminalized pot

["couldbecousin"]

Edibles require patience. Small amount and patience.

  I love mushrooms.  The food kind.

Patience and self-control.

"Here's a brownie...now don't eat the whole thing."

"Here's some gummie bears...now just try one."

Nope, not happening...maybe if they put it in a wheat thin.

Like setting a glass of wine down in front of my ass and telling me I need to stop at one sip.

I'd rather stick to the flowers.

They just passed an ordinance to decriminalize small amounts in Pittsburgh, but it's still on hold.

But it will only apply within the city limits of Pittsburgh.

Sauteed in Cannabis butter?

They approved two medical marijuana dispensaries in my town and people are up in arms going on about crime and such.  I wonder just what they think people are going to do there other than pick up their Rx and the state has set minimum security standards they have to meet that are much more strict than a regular drug store..   Add to that my town is already known for having pain in the ass ball busting cops to the point I know people who avoid coming here

They just approved it for medical use here, still waiting on the governor to sign the bill.

Seems very limiting...but I guess it's a start.

The conditions for which physicians would be allowed to provide recommendations include cancer, HIV/AIDS, ALS, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord with objective neurological indication of intractable spasticity, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, neuropathies, Huntington's disease, Crohn's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, intractable seizures, glaucoma, sickle cell anemia, autism, neuropathic pain, and severe chronic or intractable pain in which conventional therapies, including prescription opiates, are ineffective.

Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program would prohibit the use of smokable marijuana, instead providing patients with a variety of products in the form of pills, oils, and tinctures. Liquid cannabis would also be sold in dispensaries for those wanting to consume their medicine through a vaporizer. And none of these items would be subject to any tax.

There was no home cultivation provision written into the language of the bill, so patients could still run the risk of getting slapped with criminal charges if caught with cannabis that is not authorized by the state.

Similar to New York, physicians interested in providing patients with medical marijuana recommendations would be forced to undergo a training course before being recognized by the state. This certification would be provided by the State Department of Health, the agency charged with overseeing every aspect of the program from seed to sale.

  I wonder if cannabis butter is a thing.  If anyone would have it, Trader Joe's would.

It is a thing. Heating stems and stalks etc. of dried cannabis plants in butter lets the THC and other cannabiniols come out of the plantmaterial into the butter. With that butter you can then make your food. After sieving the plant material out of course.

People seem to have a tremendously hugely difficult time understanding the concept of "legalization"
When something is legalized, it stops being peddled by criminals (because criminal goods cost 10 times more than legal goods, and nobody in their right mind would go to a back-alley dealer, when they can buy the same goods, quality controlled, and 10 times cheaper, in a supermarket/pharmacy)

They cannot re-adjust their mind "but stores cant sell DRUGS!" why not? "CUS ITS ILLEGAL!!!" but they legalize it, "BUT THAT MAKES CRIMINALS SELL MORE!" no, because stores will take over the sales, and take business _away_ from criminals "STORES!? BUT THEY CANT SELL DRUGS!" why not? "CUS ITS ILLEGAL!" but they legalize it, "BUT THAT MAKES CRIMINALS SELL MORE!" no, because stores will take over the sales, and take business _away_ from criminals, "STORES!? BUT THEY CANT SELL DRUGS!" why not? "CUS ITS ILLEGAL!" but they legalize it, "BUT -
and so on :I

In Mexico, pro-legalization figureheads often get assasinated by the druglords. Pro-legalization - murdered by druglords. To a logical person, this makes perfect sense: The drug-lord will lose his mass of income, if all his product is moved to legal grocery store shelves, at a fraction of the price, going to honest investors.
To normal people, its a huge fucking eternal mystery "drog-lords kill pro-drug politicians? WHAT A RIDDLE D:"

Find it odd that states which are decriminalizing aren't making it retroactive, releasing people from jail and even expunging the criminal records of others. Stats show 12% of inmates in state and federal prisons are marijuana offenders; it would be a huge relief for prison overcrowding and taxpayer expense.

Agreed.

They still have a lot of work to do on this.
