Schumers cannabis plan

[CosmicCowboy]

Even if he had the votes to pass it, is a freaking joke. It should be called the "Gift to the Cartels" plan. Decriminalizing and then tacking on a 25% federal tax on top of state and local taxes for "legal" pot guarantees the now "risk free" uncontrolled black market will always be cheaper, without the safety of the seed to sale regulation of the "legal" market.

[boutons_deux]

black market is not "risk free", any more than black market cigs are risk free

Ask your boy Trash about tax evasion.

God you are fucking dumb.

The black market becomes risk free from prosecution but the product is far from risk free since there are no controls on pesticides, heavy metals, mold, etc.

Yeah for prices circa 2000 at $20-25/g. :lmao

Legal weed fucking sucks!

[spurraider21]

Decriminalizing it won’t get rid of the black market. Would prevent stupid incarcerations though. Legalizing it would hurt the black market substantially more

Decriminalizing would apply to possession/use, not dealing/trafficking

Yeah not at all bro. The stores are merely for tourists or at least that's how it was in LA when I last visited. Everyone out there that I knew bought from delivery black market people and friends.

Many of us hold a more libertarian position on this. I think all of it should be legal, tbh.

And I do not use any of it, just think it's fvckin stupid to criminalize it and also continue to incentivize cartels.

I’m not mocking CC for wanting legalized weed, I’m mocking him for the fact he’s blaming Democrats for the fact it hasn’t happened yet. The reason weed isn’t legal is because the GOP is controlled by evangelical culture war retards.

Neither party completely represents my beliefs. I do believe that if you are the leader of the Senate you should recognize what is achievable and what isn't. They always over reach and can't even get all democrats on board.

Legalized weed is most definitely not achievable when it requires 10 GOP votes + all the shitty Dems like Manchin and Sinema.

Amazing how your extremely principled view of what the senate majority leader should do is only popping up now with a Democrat in charge.

Btw I think stoners are losers and I don’t smoke weed at all but I do think it should be legal. Where I differ from other Dems is that I don’t think it should be legal to smoke in public. I hate having to walk down the street in DC smelling that shit.

The weed in those shops sucked bro and better can be had on SATX streets tbh. Their edibles are capped, weed packaged a yr+ in advance, and prices like they were in 2000. You have any experience out there of your own to supply or you just mad I had something to say on the subject?

All the locals told me the shops were worthless, weedmaps and craigslist were the way to go, or better yet grow your own.

Buying weed on craigslist in a state where it's legal jesus christ :lmao

[koriwhat]

Yes it is but without it it's very hard to see where those shops are and the better shops with lower prices and better bud. I would see 1 shop and then pop on weedmaps and there would be tons all around me that I never even knew were shops. That app just allows you to visit more than the trendy/bigCo shops.

As well the craigslist shit was the real way to go and the way my buddies get there shit out there. My friends out there refused to visit the shops.

You want to buy the same, if not worse quality, for a $20-40 premium? I'd rather not but did because I didn't know about the other avenues like CL and how prominent it's used out there for this very thing.

Schizophrenia linked to marijuana use disorder is on the rise, study finds.

The proportion of schizophrenia cases linked with problematic use of marijuana has increased over the past 25 years, according to a new study from Denmark.

In 1995, 2% of schizophrenia diagnoses in the country were associated with cannabis use disorder. In 2000, it increased to around 4%. Since 2010, that figure increased to 8%, the study found.

"I think it is highly important to use both our study and other studies to highlight and emphasize that cannabis use is not harmless," said Carsten Hjorthøj, an associate professor at the Copenhagen Research Center for Mental Health and an author of the study published in the medical journal JAMA Psychiatry, via email.

"There is, unfortunately, evidence to suggest that cannabis is increasingly seen as a somewhat harmless substance. This is unfortunate, since we see links with schizophrenia, poorer cognitive function, substance use disorders, etc," Hjorthøj wrote.

Just got back from Crested Butte. It was nice seeing dispensaries as just common businesses like bakeries, restaurants, etc.

I haven't seen his particular plan, but here in Oregon, the people love buying the weed that is tested and certified by state authorized laboratories. No added drudgs, THC and CBD contents are labeled. The prices are cheaper than what the illegal weed used to be. The state takes a health cut but now growers can legally grow it without fear of arrest.

Agreed. The black market will no longer be needed. Nobody will buy it unless the black market sells it very, very cheap.

I personally like what has happened. I don't buy the flower, but I will buy the 1 gram oil cartridges and vape it on occasion. This healthier I don't think is available where its illegal.

Exactly. I really like the state markets where they have established seed to sale controls where you know exactly what you are getting. I especially like the 10 mg gummies. One of those and a couple fingers of Garrison Brothers on ice and I'm good to go. I am more than willing to pay the tax to have predictable high quality thc.

When I visited LA it wasn't "legal" to smoke in public like walking down Hollywood Blvd but it also wasn't a big deal as long as you kept it on the DL. Either way, I agree, it shouldn't be something you can just willy nilly smoke around whomever or on public streets and I think the same should go for cigarettes.

Have laws changed though and now it's legal to smoke in public in those legal states?

I wish 10mg worked on me. Shit... I wish 1000mgs worked on me. My body digests that shit differently and it basically has no effect on me whatsoever unfortunately. I gave up edibles after I spent a couple hundred on them out there in LA.

tbh i havent seen what the plans are just what was posted here.. Im all for taxing the shit out of it, so long as people are allowed to have 2-3 plants of their own. teach a man to fish!! and let the lazy people pay taxes :lol unfortunately in a lot of places legalization has been designed to maximize profits, be it for the state, cartels, wall st, etc so the law doesnt always permit growing, or the limits are set too low or the requirements too high..

I don't think your reading comprehension is all that great bud... I didn't buy off of CL and I got ripped off in the dispensaries with bud that was harvested a yr+ earlier.

Then again I also heard, after the fact, that the DT area has the better product and it could be found in the dispensaries down there. I didn't visit the DT area much while out there.

I still can't believe my buddy that I stayed with in LA doesn't grow. The dude literally works from home doing VFX and has all the time in the world. He buys from his buddy who grows the worst shit ever; he gets quite a bit for dirt cheap but he's literally smoking dirt.

Playbook looks for dems to get fucked on anything they try bc they suck ass at actually doing anything, lose horribly mid-terms, then GOP can usher in a bill and take all the credit, their dumbass fetus brained constituency instantly becomes pro-weed and pretends they wanted it legal all along.

No idea what the law is in DC, but I can tell you that if there is one it’s not being enforced.
