Cannabis Current Events (Part 1)

I was afraid to read this and pleasantly surprised it was a positive slant on edibles. :grin:

Edit: Spoiler alert!!!

Hi @ryasco Yes, it is quite a nice endorsement of edibles. It also made me hungry.

What I found a little strange was the writer mentioning that THC felt like alcohol.
To me, wine and THC are quite a bit different in their effects…zero similarity.

Here:
“Soon, I felt the subtle effects of the THC-infused drink. I was a bit buzzed, similar to how I feel after a good glass of wine.”

If i sit and casually smoke 3 or 4 joints of Cindy it can get a bit trippy and my balance goes to sh!t. I would say more similar to a good clean silver tequila like Patron. Wine puts me to sleep like an IPA.

Salutations Calyxander,

Indeed. Cannabis consumers should be entitled to have a distinct sub-culture, THC comes with an “entourage” that is no poison, literally. It’s like trying to justify alcohol by making cannabis the same… I call that “Cultural Genocide”, the considerations and language are specific. It’s shortcuts as that which cause health ministers to claim “we” need to limit THC % while in fact this would only increase exposure to potential contaminants from vegetal tissue, because it takes more bowls then to accomplish a same goal. Which i find most reprehensible for “elite” politicians with public resources at their disposal and who can’t pretend they never hear of CBD - certainly not after the recent UN anouncement!

Good day, have fun!! :peace:

Salutations Ryasco,

Exactly, but within a multi-ratios spectrum which the bigot anti-cannabic prohibitionists won’t brag too much about, as far as i’m concerned:

My reason is simple. The “application range” located along the quarter-arc curve linking a vast sample of average viable genetics (as illustrated above) goes from THC-centric (X) to CBD-centric (Y) if we rotate counter-clockwise, euh… These recent years we heard a lot about CBD oils and 1:1 “High-CBD” varieties besides the traditional THC-centric ones, but i suspect there’s some overlooked benefits in 2:1 or 3:1 THC:CBD groups as well… In other words i feel the extremes should be reserved for breeding and/or medical purposes perhaps, because i’m not sure what most people would choose in the end once given a full palette of options. If we agree that THC-centric cannabis affects, say, ~2 % of the consumers negatively then i may want to point out that it’s still sufficient for a sensationalist mass-media press to focus on habit disorders falling into the medical category anyway, misrepresenting the remaining 98 %…

M’well, that’s only me. But the thing is i don’t hear anything like this on late night TV news ever. How come? Are powerful “expert$”/“spe¢iali$ts” just blind, or conveniently (self-serving) selective in setting the agenda??

Which to me is a matter of self-vilification serving the enemy camp…

Then this:

:expressionless:

Good day, have fun!! :peace:

Any angle they can find.

Yep! The propagandists must be counting on prohibition and its second-hand effects to drain all traces of will from our brains until we turn into complete automatons made indifferent to repeated, wide-spread, institutionalized abuse. Enjoy the last days of our sub-culture agony!

Trump wants to toughen drug laws, including death penalty for heroin/fentanyl dealers.

Trump tells confidants a softer approach to drug reform - the kind where you show sympathy to the offenders and give them more lenient sentences - will never work.

Salutations MuleSkinner,

WOW!!

Thanks for putting this on the radar:


MJ: Swiss Police Introduce Rapid Test for CBD Levels in Cannabis (2018-Jan-22)

« …legal and illegal buds can hardly be distinguished from one another… … …a test had to be developed to quickly determine what type of product the cigarette in question contained. … If the product is determined to have less than 1 percent THC, the property is returned to the individual. »

Now how can i ignore the real possibility that our “elite” politicians just don’t want their respective “populace” to learn about this, eventually!..

It’s interesting that Switzerland is never discussed in the corporate media. I think all the oligarchs and political families are stashing their money there and want it private.

So in Schweiz/Suisse they now have cannabis coffeehouses with “CBD-only” flowers…or they just make-believe that it’s CBD from the sounds of it. Don’t want the EU officials to get upset! :smile: This is the same place that legally sold weed in “aromatherapy pillows” for years. Sounds like it’s pretty much legal.

This hopefully he’ll go after the pharmaceutical industry as well. Like those who lied about oxytocin being less addictive opiate. But we all know that’ll never happen m

The NJ Knuckleheads are trying to hash this out.

I am not holding my breath regarding NJ deigning to allow the growing of your own plants.

NJ is the Garden State…everyone can grow six pound plants!

. One plant can produce about six pounds of pot.

How out of touch can these idiots be? Who are they talking to. I honestly believe they are imagining sh!t and choosing to believe it as fact. A few of us can get six pounds reliably outdoors. Outdoors is where most communities want to restrict growing. How many of you are getting six pounds indoors a plant?

I grew some in ground plants in NJ that were a little over twelve feet tall. I had to pull them down every day in October in order to inspect the buds for any signs of bud blight or PM!
They really were like trees.
I never weighed the dried buds in total, and I am not sure that even these hulks provided six pounds of finished flowers each.
NJ has some incredibly rich, loamy, natural soil which needs virtually nothing added to it in order to produce superior, tasty vegetables and yummy cannabis flowers!
The Garden State needs to be emancipated ASAP…the growing season is coming up!

Scrumptious buds await their growth!
