At least some forms of medical pot doesn't get you high.

I bet that won't be a big seller. When I was walking around in
Colorado, before the general legalization, the dispensaries still
bragged about how powerful their "medicines" were.

Crested Butte was an interesting place. They had 5 streets and 6
dispensaries ... and nobody in a restaurant ever got an order right.

It was the biggest concentration of "sick" people I ever saw. ;-)

Do not know what the drivers illness wis. As to Colorado, they
figured big
tax revenues. The legal pot has so many taxes and fees, that it is
about
2X the price of pot on the treet. $250 vs. $125 or that range.


My God, why don't you all check your facts... I know a lot about the

Talk about "tin hat" lol.. if there is, a true CBD form that doesn't get
you high, I guarantee it's a one off product like the one going through
the courts now for a 7 year old kid... Medical MJ is a joke, maybe 1% of
users really "need" THC or CBD... The rest just want to get stoned..


So let them. I have nothing against casual pot smokers. Better than
drunks.

BTW ... what does a "tin hat" have to do with my comment? All I said is
that some forms of medicinal pot does not get you high. There have been
several reports on it's success.



lol...

A guy I know in Boulder seems to think it may be twice as good as the
regular ragweed on the street.

Evidently a little dab will do ya and a joint would put you in a coma.

It has been so long for me, just watching someone smoke might give me
a buzz. Back in the old $10 a bag days I am not sure there was hardly
any THC in the leaves, sticks and seeds we sorted through. I know I
never saw one of those fuzzy buds you see on TV now.



I "came of age" in the 60's. You either became a hippy or remained a
carry over from the greaser days of the 50's. I guess I was the latter.
Never grew my hair long or got into the psychedelic thing. Stayed
clear of drugs when I started college and then in the military. I was
more of a professional beer drinker when I was younger. Funny though, I
noticed over the years that the old farts (60 or over) didn't drink beer
often. Then, as I approached 60 I began to understand why. I still
love the taste of a cold Sam Adams but it no longer likes me. Get gassy
and bloated feeling and feel like crap, so I basically gave it up. The
light beers like Coors Lite taste like ****, so I rarely drink any.
I'll have one or two every 3 months or so and I usually regret it
afterwards. Never developed a taste for the "hard stuff".

I never got into the drug scene. I tried pot once or twice in high
school but I really didn't like the feeling it gave me. During my
working career some of the defense contracts we had required security
clearances and drug testing so it wasn't worth the risk of experimenting.

Once, after some oral surgery, I took an Oxycontin that the dentist
prescribed. I think I had a plastic bottle containing ten of them.
I took one and did not like the feeling it produced. Flushed the rest
down the toilet the next morning.

The only pills I take are aspirin and even those I don't take often.
Probably two every two months if I have a headache.

I had plenty of opportunities at the guitar shop, that's for sure.
Had a guy come in one day. I knew him pretty well. He wanted to
purchase a particular guitar but was about $150 short of the asking
price. He pulled a big bag of pot out of his pocket and asked if I'd
accept it towards the guitar. Cracked me up. Told him, "No thanks, I
am allergic to the ****".



I managed to "miss" the 60s in that regard. Between IBM and the USCGR
I had short hair and an aversion to hippies. It was about the time
they assassinated Richard Nixon that I tuned in, grew a beard, got a
harley and sparked up. I just never dropped out.
It took about 7 or 8 years to get over the whole "wild man" thing.
Once I got to Florida and had a daughter I was back to being a citizen
... except for the beard.

Pot just did not affect me much. The rest of the drugs were too scary. I
graduated with my Bachelors from San Francisco State and worked down the
street from the Haight. We used to have the speed freaks want to come in
and watch the blinking computers. Days of big windows showing off the
computer system. We were on Geary, and direct path from the Haight to
Union Square. Had lots of friends who loved pot, so was not adverse to
being around users.

Well, *this* helps explain...
