Politicians and cops are the pushers who control the market with monopolistic power enforced with guns and cages. The State pushers are raking in vast fortunes while they enjoy the best cannabis. If you want the best shite, get in with the power structure.

Or just go to a state where it's legal. I have a couple strains right now that are >25% THC. I have concentrates that range from 40-80% (the stuff that's only 40% also has 40% CBD, another cannabinod that has high medicinal value and is much more relaxing.)

on't want someone to be high at work.

It's both. Any job the recieves any kind of federal funding requires drug testing. I currently have my first job that doesn't test, but they don't chase Federal projects, just private ones. People that are dumb enough to go work high, were doing it whether it's legal or not.

It's only illegal if you get caught

For me, it's only illegal if I smoke and drive. And yes, they have developed and are continuing to develop tests for Cannabis to determine impairment, instead of just recent use (within the last month+)

you have been duped by propaganda. my wife has smoked pot daily for years and she NEVER wants to have sex. last year I made her get a checkup just to make sure she still even had a vagina. she also holds multiple degrees and rarely misses work. she pretty much single handedly refutes reefer madness.

My Dad has ran a $50+ million, 200-300 person engineering firm, while not being national, is the top company in one of the largest construction markets in America. He's smoked for 45+ years. There's some incredibly successful people that smoke regularly.

i guess you never had a child who started on pot then progressed to coke and meth. its a gateway drug. pure and simple. my son started on pot. he gradually moved to coke, then meth. you can rant and rave all you want about the safety of pot but i don't buy that argument. at all.

I hate to hear that about your son. My sister struggled with coke and pill addiction for years, which caused a lot of family problems.

But I have to ask, did he try alcohol? Cigarettes? Usually kids try those before pot.

I also wonder how many kids have moved on to other, harder drugs, after DARE told them that Marijuana was very dangerous, then the kids realized they were being lied to, and questioned every bit of drug info they were told. By lying to our youth, it makes them skeptical when you give them honest information.

That being said, I went to Colorado last year, Oregon this year. While CO has all the edibles and concentrates available for rec., Oregon has no mother fricking sales tax, and it was about half the price as I found in CO. Could be that CO prices have gone down since then, but I found OR weed much better and cheaper

In the 1.5 years I've been in Colorado , prices have dropped tremendously. A lot had to do with a law, that after 6 months of legalizatiion, dispensaries could begin to sell product from a third party grower. That dropped prices. Comptition helped too. But there are still places in CO, where a 1/4 will cost $120-$130, others $40-60. Quality can vary greatly. The best I bought was a $100 ounce. I've also seen $300 ounces that were mediocre. But there's a reason I went medical. I smoke enough, it's worth the price break.

You can also use coupons in Colorado. In the back of independant papers, instead of hooker and stripper ads, there's dispensary ads. You'll always find a coupon for a $20 1/8th or $100-$120 ounce. Lots of edible coupons too, but I really am not a fan of edibles. They make me tired. So I only eat (a very strong one) when I have to fly.
