I would bet that Pharma will find a way to extract the necessary chemical structures from MJ and concentrate them for more effective use. Squirrel, kinda like how supp companies process creatine. You can get it via a steak but in order to get a useful dosage you need it more pure and refined.

PS to everybody, thanks for keeping this civil and on topic.

Yea but the supp market is far from being overseen by a regulating group. More regulations would be lame.

Well THC has been processed for medicinal use for decades, but theres only so many ways to skin a cat IMO

This too, the supp companies laugh all the way to the bank at the FDA lol, i have stuff in my closet that is lethal to an un-informed person haha

I had a great time on 420........NYIAS BOOOOOO YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

it should definitely be legalized imo cigarettes are 1000x worse than marijuana

It's getting to the point where we need to look at it from the point of view if fighting it is really worth the money and effort. I can see where it gets legalized for medicinal purposes but it will be tough to see it get legalized across the board. There are plenty of arguments both ways but changing perceptions and opinions will be tough. If people are willing to pay the huge tax on cigarettes, they will most likely be willing to pay a big tax on mj as well.

Also I was in the Navy for 10 yrs and I cant imagine what would happen if they made it legal and you can go into a WaWa and get a pack of Pot cigs when it is Zero Tolerance in the military for drugs like pot!!

The same thing would happen if you came back from liberty reeking of alcohol and underage...

Routine drug tests would have no problem deterring something if you signed a contract agreeing to not use.

Ding ding ding ding.

Also, who said anything about going to Wawa to get weed? I would like to think the government on federal/state/local levels would have strict oversight just like alcohol. They would have dispensaries. Can you go to Wawa and get alcohol?

in california you can buy alcohol at 7-11 :nod:

I know that, same with some other states, just not around here. It all depends on state and local governments.

You PA guys have it rough that way.

Eh, I'm not really a beer fan so it's no loss here. I'd rather just got to a local wine&spirits shop to get what I need. ;)

Guess you haven't seen ads for alcohol and cigs?

Legalize it, tax it, make it happen. Still would be illegal to be under the influence.

its not illegal to be high. just possessing it. :nod:

I can buy beer, wine, and liqour and all of my groceries at the same place on a Sunday morning- and all on the same reciept :mrgreen:

And I believe NJ is trying to expand the ability for most supermarkets and restaurant to sell alcohol.

Gotta love taking advantage of a slump in the economy by taxing more of the stuff depressed people use. :lol:

Its not against navy policy to drink and get drunk as long as you are like you said 21, on liberty, and not at work.. When you are away from US waters like in the Med you can drink alcohol as long as you are 18.. And I know a few people who got caught drinking under age ( like myself) and we just got a slap on the hand for it.. Most of the chiefs and bosses in the navy say if you are old enough to die for your country @ 18yrs old then you should be old enough to drink as well.


You would be surprised on how many people get kicked out of the Navy for using Pot.. Thats the way the Navy WEEDS out the idiots who still smoke pot even though we get drugged tested sometimes 2-3 times a month.. If they make it legal to buy and smoke Pot then most of them who got kicked out with dishonorable discharge due to smoking pot would have a case to get that changed to a other then or Honorable dishcharge and may even get to come back in the military..

I am for making it legal as it will make the goverment money but there are alot of nagative effects as well that they better look at before doing so..

When I was station is Virginia Beach the WaWa's down there had Beer, Wine and some alcohol in them..

After they legalize it, someone is gonna attempt to legalize something else - perhaps something "harder". They will say "well, you legalized mj, this is just as harmless under controlled conditions" and a new **** storm will ensure.

I never saw you as a slippery slope type. lol

Interesting, what type did you picture me as? :lol: Surely not a stoner?!

More of a personal responsibility, hey control yourself a**hole type. :) No, def not a stoner.

Tsar, you're right....it's a slippery slope. With that said alcohol should be banned. Oh wait, we tried that and it failed miserably lol

Jeff, I know in other areas you can get alcohol in Wawa's and convenience stores. I meant up here. ;)

It's still a reach saying you'd be able to buy weed at a local store.

I think I'm one of those too. :lol: I've also ran into a few stoner types, and we generally don't get along, so I'm not a big fan of mj to begin with. Maybe it's the whole "personality" thing, who knows. I just know that wouldn't magically start smoking it if they made it legal, it provides absolutely no benefits to me. And I do honestly believe in the slippery slope argument.

well... in the early 1900's you could find heroin in a sears catalog
