While I'm thinking about it, since this is such a cash cow and a revenue generator, where exactly can one buy pot currently that is taxed? (People without a medical card)

Currently, you cannot and nothing will be in place until October 2013 or possibly later to establish such a place.

You smoke, there is no slightly high, moderately high, really high... you're high or you're not high.

Leave logic & reasoning out of any discussion that involves MJ. Those who oppose it's use, decriminalization etc, will or may not change their mind. I have known and know, hard core anti-mj people who after dealing with cancer and the treatments that followed, had a change of mind / heart.
Realistically there is a group of dopers who want to be able to smoke, ingest pot any time they feel like without any form of repercussion. They don't care as long as then can "toke up".
On the flip side there are people who found through friends, family, strangers, ingesting or smoking pot has helped them deal with anxiety, trauma, cancer.
We also have the INDUSTRIAL side of HEMP, which BTW has little if any THC properties. Shoes, clothing, paper goods etc can be mfg from Hemp. This allows a sustainable supply of raw material other than Trees, to mfg items with. Hemp has such a quick turn around time for regrowth vs. trees it's literally a cash cow for manufacturing.

This is what we really need.

Yes we do. Unfortunately the anti MJ crowd lumps HEMP (mfg) in with the smokers crowd and time & time again gets shot down as a viable crop. Imaging the tobacco farmer who shit canned nicotine for hemp. Better return on investment, faster turn around time between harvest, AND it's literally a WEED, hell any road in NE has this crap growing in the ditches. BUT NOOOOOOO.

You can't say something like this, and not expect to completely invalidate every other thing you've said in this thread. Please expand on this comment you've made here. What is your personal experience? Can you provided data from ANYWHERE that even comes close to supporting this statement?

There are currently people growing marijuana with as LITTLE THC as possible. The article I heard about this particular growing method, is that while THC gets you high, it is not necessarily responsible for the other medical benefits that are often praised about marijuana. Basically, not everyone who is helped by marijuana, for whatever reason, likes/wants the "high" that comes with the THC, but would still benefit without the THC.

I have to say that is a pretty dumb statement, its like saying drinking one pbr is the same as a 5th of jac. The only difference is when you smoke a oz of weed you just fall asleep, when you drink a 5th of jack you get alcohol poisening and you die.

^+1.... do a lil self research and get back to us.. I agree some people need to take a hit a chill the F out, its really not this super gateway, life ruining, cant do anything, youll never amount to anything drug. Hell, I catch more of a buzz inhaling some ciggs, and those are perfectly legal including the chemical additives.

I meant like in terms of comparing to BAC... Aside from nanograms etc. due to prohibition there is no way to level "high", such as with alcohol you have buzzed, drunk, stupor, dead, etc. From personal experience, when I did smoke way back when, I was a lightweight, one hit and I was high... so some bias there, but I quantify it as there is no low level high or really high in my book, just high- until a better system can replace my opinion that is. I'm always up for learning new things, though.

As I stated previously, there actually is no comparative argument with MJ intoxication and alcohol intoxication... at least that I know of. Talking in terms of how much intake, you can't compare the effects to equate to the leveling of effects with alcohol intake.
