Step 1: fly to the UK. Step 2: once you get out of Heathrow, head into Soho in central London, find a dealer. Buy weed, hope it's decent. Step 3: wait until morning, perhaps in a hotel. Find where your nearest Gregg's bakery is. Sleep Step 4: smoke, head to Gregg's, buy a stuffed slice, successful hunting! Step 5: enjoy that profit?

I've lost good friends to that trash and almost lost family to opiates as well. Havent had to go through that loss a single time from cannabis though! One of the very very few decent things I will give Donny T any semblance of credit for doing was decriminalization. Who woulda thunk it 😂🤦

My little sister was diagnosed with brain cancer at 12 years old. (surgery and treatment worked she is alive and well at 32yrs now) She was always a little chunky, but a year after her diagnosis chemo and radiation had turned her into a skeleton because she had no appetite and almost everything she did eat would either hurt her stomach or come back up. She was prescribed "Marinol" which was a small round pill of thc dissolved in sesame oil. My parents never told her what it was just that it was supposed to help her eat. The first time she took one, an hour later she was giggling and ate 3 bowls of cereal in a row and just said laughing, pain free and with with joy "I don't know why, but I am HUNGRY and can actually eat!" I am a little bit older and my parents are cool, we were all in the other room laughing about it and all so happy our Katie could eat again! It's both safe fun and a life saving medicine.

Be me: chilling with the homies on the porch. It’s been a long day at the Boston harbor shipyard. Smoking the green out of Thomas’ cob pipe. Hear voices. they’re British. Oh god oh fuck. Samuel hands you your rifled musket. You’re starting to feel it. Everything is slowing down, I am calm, holding my musket steady. I see 5 red coats round the corner. The hammer ignites the powder, sending a slug down my rifled barrel. The hit is clean and deadly. My compatriots’ shots strike true as well. One lobster back remains, he drops his musket and runs. This was our cue, we disappear into the alleys to evade reinforcements. We will fight another day.

True ! However, people know the dangers of alcohol more than the dangers of weed. People talk aboutit like it's completely safe. And sure, smoking at a party from time to time won't kill you, but driving while high is extremely dangerous, and using too much can cause loss of focus, loss of appetite, depression, and sometimes even psychiatric disorders. We should advise people to be careful about it the same way we do with alcohol

This boggles the mind... I'm a Canadian retired veteran who receives 90 grams of marijuana monthly, paid for by Veterans Affairs Canada. My actual dosage is 5 grams daily for a total of 150 grams, but I can claim the remaining 60 grams on my taxes. My dosage is 150 grams a month, but VAC only pays for 90. If I need it, I can buy the other 60 grams legally, shipped right to my door, or I can pick it up at the Post Office.

The reason the "declare illegal income" trap works so well is that *not* declaring it _also becomes a crime._ I mean, if you don't fill out part of your tax forms, that's tax evasion. If you do fill that part out, you're admitting to illegal income. It's genius.

To be clear, though: The government cannot prosecute you for "doing crimes"; they have to actually specify what they're prosecuting you for. And the IRS does not require you to tell them *how* you made money illegally, just *that* you have money illegally. So you're not actually confessing to anything in a legal sense. That being said, if you acknowledge a large amount of illegal income on your tax return, that will definitely increase law enforcement interest in you.

_"It's the same here in Europe."_ Not really, especially not in Germany and most certainly not in Bavaria. Sure we don't have people spending the rest of their life in prison over weed, but there's basically been zero progress on the legalization front. The recent change, to allow for "medical use", is something that was supposedly already in effect for years, the only reason this latest change in law happened is because the German version of the supreme court gave out more and more licenses for sick people to grow their own weed. The German government couldn't tolerate that, so this recent change in law happened and with that, they also removed the license for growing your own. Now people will be forced to pay inflated prices for weed at pharmacies which can't even tell them if it's sativa or indica their getting. The vast majority of German physicians and pharmacies are utterly clueless about the differences in strains and cannabinoids, heck pretty much the only research done is on how cannabis is triggering psychosis, basically regurgitating outdated reefer-madness cliches. The German drug-commissioner is still staunchly anti-weed, while at the same time proudly tweeting pictures of her booze collection, fucking drunk hypocrites.

Problem is, research needs money, if you cannot patent it the private sector will not do it, so the gouvernment needs to fund the research (or we need to collect a few millions over go fund me....)

Here in California, in a tiny town on the central coast, I have three dispensaries within a 10 minute drive. One of the big issues of the anti-weed crowd, before we legalized, was that kids would be sneaking in and be buying most of the weed. From my observations, the average age of the people I see buying weed is about 50, with LOTS of people much older. No kids running around that I could see. Don't let the anti-weed folks pull that argument on you if your state is contemplating legalizing. My bong is sitting on the living room table, and I don't worry about opening my front door if someone knocks. It was silly that it was ever illegal. The Feds need to catch up, but with the old clowns in charge, they much prefer to take large donations from Big Pharma to keep it illegal.

The Good News Channel First, I'm sorry to hear that happened to her. Was she ok? Second, exactly what I mean. Not to mention all the domestic violence attributed to alcohol reported on a daily basis. But when you're high, you just get slow and get the munchies. Hell, you're less likely to try to pull anything because you'll be way too paranoid. But alcohol is legal, and marijuana still isn't. One causes violence. One causes Dorito's.

My grandparents literally had a two meters tall weed bush in their garden, which was technically illegal, but most people don't care as you can go 10 km north and it isn't anymore. Inspection literally told my grandfather to maybe move the plant, because they were tired of having to keep their eyes covered in the garden. My grandmother also got a tattoo for her 80th birthday which were some kind of berries and marijuana on her right arm (she could choose that tattoo, but me and my 3 brothers sponsored it)

@ Mene Tekel: Because opium is immensely addictive and oftentimes when it is used too often patients become dependent on it. Opium is alright for short-term conditions but that man's PTSD will never truly go away. Marijuana, on the other hand, has almost no addictive qualities to it and thus can be taken for long stretches of time with far less negative effects.

There are very few scientific studies that help prove the point that weed helps PTSD. All the information that is available comes from personal testimonies so who knows if that guy is lying or not. John's episode really only has one good point and that is it takes way to long get approval from the federal government to have a license to test marijuana. So it's understandable why the federal government doesn't give out medical marijuana because in all reality we have no idea of the long term affects.

Being stoned impairs your reaction time more than alcohol. While it doesn't inhibit decision making to the same extreme, you are more likely to violate traffic codes or be involved in an accident using marijuana than basically anything else.

babybop114 reaction time impairment being greater than alcohol is false. Well it impairs reaction, it has nowhere near the kind of slowing down a fact that alcohol does. Not to mention that marijuana does not make you see double, nor does it make you have blurred vision. I've never known anyone to get into an accident while high as hell on cannabis, but I've lost count of the people who have crashed while only *buzzed* on alcohol.

Edgar Garcia Moderate alcohol consumption reduces your risk of heart disease by over fifty percent. Heart disease is the number one killer in america. That's a pretty great health benefit. That's not even addressing the anti coagulation and blood flow benefits it brings. I love pot, but potheads are some of the stupidest motherfuckers around. Half the reason prohibition has so much support still is because of the retards opposing it with stupid as shit arguments.

nigeltheoutlaw With all of the positive points you made, you forgot to mention the thousands of people who die because of alcohol in America. Either from drunk driving or from alcohol poisoning. Treat pot the same way you treat other substances that are legal. If they're an adult, it's their choice. Also, you're feeding off the stereotype that is linked to smoking pot. What about the people who need it for pain or for other health reasons? They're not all stupid stoners. Just like not everyone who drinks is a raging alcoholic.

Michael Edwards Alcohol shows these benefits up until 8 drinks a night, at which point the benefit begins to diminish. cigarettes don't inherently infringe on your rights; some inconsiderate jerks is not sufficient cause to ban something. You pay lip service to rights, while in the same breath advocating for restrictions them because it would benefit you. You're a hypocrite.
