Although i did find it ironic that my friends and i spent most of 4/20 talking about business, politics, theological debates as well as quantum and theoretical physics...yeah we're cool lol

Nasty, i'm gonna have to disagree with you on the job thing, I believe, especially in NJ where there are LOTS of Fortune 1000 companies based, that it will hurt jobs... Why buy an appetite enhancer, pain killer, sleep aid, arthritis reliever, cognitive relaxer, stomach relaxer, etc from all different companies when you can buy 1 medicine down the street at the shop next to the local 7-11 for much cheaper, easier, and with less side effects?.... I think it will cripple pharma companies in NJ

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.
