Skunk Weed

One can make a direct correlation.
If it were not for the Volstead Act making alchohol illegal we likely would not have seen the escalation in organized crime which the St Valentines was a result of.

Correct, just like if pot wasn't illegal, cartels wouldn't be involved. They'd be doing other things still. But they legalization of weed in certain states, has little to do with what the cartels are doing.

One exception being California making pot crimes not felonies so it is more difficult to prosecute gorilla grows. Cartels have been having gorilla grows in California since before that law changed and they wouldn't care either way.

Guerrilla Is the word you were looking for, not gorilla.......... Although I could be wrong........

[Irving]

No you're correct.

Do you also blame whiskey for the St Valentine's Day massacre?

I freely admit that I have a hypocritical opinion of pot versus alcohol. My parents didn't smoke dope, but did enjoy an occasional drink.

I spent my "pot formative" years of 16 - 26 trying to get into a Service Academy / ROTC, being in ROTC, or on Active Duty as an Army Officer. I spent plenty of time in the LTC's office explaining how SPC Johnny's Chain-of Command was going to help him not smoke any more joints.

If it has a legitimate medical use, then it should controlled and prescribed though the normal medical and pharmaceutical systems, NOT "Paco's Green Cross Rec and MMJ" on the corner.

I hate the stupid vagrants who came to CO for "legal weed" and all the baggage they brought with them.

Yeah- Not a fan, whether it's a smelly "legal" grow warehouse, an illegal cartel grow shooting at rancher's kids, stupid shit bags occupying pubic spaces, or the gateway properties towards harder drugs.

As long as it?s still illegal on a Federal level, and cannot cross state lines with it and you cannot obtain or retain a CDL if tested positive for it I will keep my opinion about it.

The farm bill of 2018 changed a couple of your stipulations Bob.

Cdl is the sole to the letter survivor.
I know you mean high thc content products
As long as the thc level is under .3 it can and is transported across the country daily.
I grew up in a farming community in southern Colorado with potatoes being king. Right now paying the bills it?s coors Barley and industrial Cannabis. Even the mennonites and Mormons are in the game. A group of mennonites in the San Luis valley came up with the first usable combine head for cannabis and sold it to John Deere

I'm not following you apparently. Are you saying if one's OK with those other substances they shouldn't have a problem with MJ?

No, I?m trying to shed light on the concept that we are preconditioned by our society to accept certain drugs and substances that alter our minds and bodies, and to demonize other substances.
I personally believe alcohol to have had a greater negative impact on society and individual lives in a historic and modern day sense than pot ever has come close to.

Now that's funny.
