Then make some brownies. :upsidedow

A high dose of ingested cannabis can certainly bring on an experience similar to a low dose hallucinogenic and induce panic in some. Anyone that claims you'll just giggle is completely ignorant on the subject.

Its one of the reasons all edibles sold in our store are tested and labeled for thc and cannaboid content so people won't take more than they can handle, which will be required next year for all cannabis products when new regs come into effect.

That huffpost article is amusing.

Yes, because the war on pot is a winnable one. :disgust

LMAO :1orglaugh Even the stonedest stoners probably see what they did there.


::facepalm::


It's been a long time coming. I see one commenter on that page mentions something about the gov't being worried about 'lost revenues', to which I would say rii-ii-ght... because right now the gov't makes a lot of money from the war on pot. OH wait, I don't think it does. But it certainly would if they made it legal and tAxEd it.

In fact when this occurs nationwide in Canada the provincial governments could very well handle (control) it's sale like they do alcohol and make a veritable killing on it. No pun intended. Because legalizing it won't make crime go up. Why would it? Making it easier and safer for people who already use it to get it might even make crime go down.

Regulate it like alcohol. It's not legal to stand on the street drinking or in a public place. People do it but they also sometimes get fined for it. Same with pot smoking in public. Means cops get to write more tickets, which translates to even more revenue, a thing that evey level of government complains they never have enough of.

Oh, and who uses pot? In my years of living I've seen doctors, nurses, fire fighters, business owners, company execs, a few real estate agents, even one or two cops, having a go at a passsed-around joint, at the lake, while on vacation, etc. I know plenty of average, decent, hard-working, professional, family oriented people who actually keep small personal stashes. But of course when a lot of people think about weed they immediately envision a bunch of long-haired hippie stoner freaks sitting around in a basement getting high and plotting their next crime spree.

Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers --- best comic EVER.

if it was a gateway drug, i'd be dead by now ;)

i still drink though

Sugar to Caffeine to ....?

The ironic part is... nobody has ever "od'ed" and died on pot.
And cocaine overdose usually happens when someone goes on a complete binge and just does it for a few days non-stop(same thing would happen if you binged on alcohol...you die when you poison your body past it's limits).
Heroin overdose happens when somebody is already fucked up on the shit and forgets how much they've done and keeps doing it.
Prescription pill overdose kills more people than all recreational drugs put together.

BUT...
The stuff that's in the food we eat kills a million times more people every year than ALL "drugs" put together.
Sugar? It's KILLING you. Salt? KILLING you.
Saturated Fat? Raising your cholesterol and KILLING you with a heartattack.

Thing is...that isn't sensational enough.
We want to believe that "junkies" are in gutters dying all over the place while we stuff our faces with chemicals in our foods that are the real killers.
Cancer, heart disease, diabetes...

But it's "cooler" to talk about how "bad" it is to get high and have fun. :(

According to some scientists it takes around 1,500lbs in 15 minutes to OD on it. :upsidedow

And yet...Willie Nelson still didn't die... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

he keeps trying though - lol

Gotta give credit where credit is due!

FITTY Marijuana Overdoses

I hear it also causes people to become pornstars, and should be avoided at all costs.
