The Political Pot Thread

[VDB]

So what an awesome feeling in Canada these days, everyone seems to be okay with it.
My dad was crazy psyched to check out my plants.
I offered our 65 year old neighbour with MS a cookie for walking our dog each day.
It's just the way it should be frankly.

Excellent.

It's Legalization Eve here in Illinois, and the new governor just pardoned 11,000 marijuana convictions, so that's cool.

I envy you. I feel like I live in the 'shitty neighbor' state now that Indiana is surrounded by legalization.

Oh, you always have.   :-P
Just come over here for your weed and we'll keep coming over there for our guns.

What's up with THC breathalyzers and impairment detection.

NJ is legal now, which is pretty fucking awesome. No shops for a while I'm sure, but I've made drives to Mass. and now don't have any fear once I cross the border here at least. It does seem like 'gifting' might be a gray market for a bit, we'll see if that really picks up - would love to just get deliveries!!

I visited Colorado between Legalization and Regulation. You would walk into a head-shop and spend $30 on merch, an overpriced shirt or bowl or what have you, and then they gave you the green for 'free'.

Yeah--buddy here in VT charged me $200 for consulting on my first grow (last year), with 6 clones gifted as free teaching materials, or something.

Also, next week is town meeting--lots of ballot questions about allowing retail cannabis sales, brick & mortar shops, etc. My town opted against even putting the question, but there'll be some shops opening near me soon enough.

I know it's apples and oranges or wtv but here, all of the shops opened and didn't really have much repercussions in advance of legalization.
As far as I can tell, there is a serious grey area as far as a head shop and a gov't dispensary.

yeah i'm thinking of heading to a local shop where they have legit goods (they are official Pax store) because now i need a concentrate option, and hoping they have started already... it would not at all surprise me if virtually all of the head shops around here start to skirt the law a bit. NJ is not exactly the wild west, however, and the police are going to be itching to do something because arresting people for pot has been their biggest cash cow.

saw somethin in the paper saying VA about to pass recreational.
19 year old slim never saw that comin.

If (when) the Governor signs it, legalization won't be in effect til 2024.
Which means people of color will continue to be disproportionately prosecuted for something that has been legalized by the legislature.

Absurd.

Cuomo must really be in trouble if he finally allowed Legal Weed in NY.
