Damnit... I don't see this thread going to far anymore. Thanks guys.
But while its still up, I might as well add something. industrial grade hemp can only really be made from cannibus sativa, which has several uses which are fantastic, and legal. Ever pay close attention to the seeds in those bricks of bird feed? Yeah, seeds high in protein, pun unintended. Hemp seed oil is also a great source of omega fatty acids, and low in cholesterol. It also has a nice nutty taste and aroma. It also has hardly any THC in it, because the seeds don't have any in it. It mostly comes from Canada. You can't exactly go to WalMart and buy hemp seed oil though, even though its better for you than corn oil, veggy oil, whatever. Imagine replacing all the cooking oil in fast food restaurants with healthy oil? Imagine getting delicious, low fat, low cholesterol french fries at mickyd's!

This was just like my thread that failed cause of a pic last week. Well hopefully no dumb asses will get this thread locked. From what I heard on the news just a couple days ago that legalizing cannabis in cali would make trillion's of dollars just for the state of cali (yes with a T). Now imagine on a large scale if all the state did the same.

^ ahahahahahahahahah cause " the man " wants as much money as he can get. And when it comes to something like weed they will tax the shit out of it cause they know alot of ppl will pay to have legal weed. And in return more and more ppl will start growing and they dont want that. I can see it becoming legal but illegal to grow in the your own home. But to that, the only thing they can use to see in someones house is flying over with infrared and that tech. they have to have a warrant to do that.
SexPanda I dont exactly know the numbers but they said 3 trillion on the news idk how real of a number that is. Ill post up more info when I hear something. |

in Columbia (GO TIGERS), if you are carrying less than an ounce and a quarter of weed (35g), they can't arrest you. they can only give you a summons. and that's a lot of pot to be carrying around.
unfortunately that's just CoMo. oh well, at least passengers in cars can still drink beer. edit: also, not having the "mandatory" icon on our state is a very good thing.

Same as NY only our limit is 28g. Although thats only for first offense, second time will land you in a holding cell. whats "madatory" mean on that map? mandatory jail time? because i know florida is harsh... but that doesnt make sense in combination with other symbols in other states.... |

although, in california, apparently it's a max fine of a hundred bucks. hmm. but yeah, mandatory=mandatory jail time if convicted. so, in my state, you can weasel out of it, in theory. just like speeding tickets. almost 30 tickets to date, no convictions. go me.

I've never been caught with pot. Because I'm not an idiot. I would get as much as I was going to smoke at that 1 time, then use papers or rellos. No evidence, no paraphernillawafers, nothing. Anyhow, back to the subject at hand. That is a very interesting map. Whats the tax stamp mean?

Originally it was how they made it "illegal." You had to have a tax stamp on the bag to say that you paid your tax on your pot. However if you went to go apply for the stamp you couldn't get one and we're basically waving around a bag of pot in public incriminating yourself.
Now its just another way to add on extra time to your sentence. You wind up with possession and if your judge is a real dick tax evasion. For more info go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marihuana_Tax_Act_of_1937 |

I really think the stop signs are supported by two things.
Not enough for a majority vote... No way to identify a level of intoxication... If enough people would support the decriminalization of Marijuana in their own states, then there MIGHT be a chance that the Federal Gov't would follow suite. The problem is that there will always be free loaders and the few that will continue to mess it up for the rest of us. When I think about a nation wide decriminalization, the first image I see, is that of a going out of business sale where everything is 80% off. The switch would be so dramatic. You would have a ton of first time users and abusers, mixed with the ones already abusing the substance. sadly, I feel the day will never come. My dad once told me he was SURE that Marijuana would be legalized back in the 70's but at last, it never happened. The other topic to discuss would be the "too high detector." Until someone comes up with a device that could quickly tell an arresting officer that the detained is "too high" we'll be faced with that road block as well. My advice to all, be smart, don't abuse any substance and for the love of Christ, don't get in trouble high. You're fu*kin up the statistics!

saliva testing is good for 24 hours.
i'm pretty confident the main reason we have no on-the-spot method of testing is because there is no current need for one.

I've heard of an ounce going for right at $100 but this is low of low. I really feel if it were legalized prices would drop dramatically and then the taxes wouldn't be that noticeable.
