Maybe by 2022 if we're lucky.

I used to be like you thinking it was coming any day. Maybe by 2022 if we're lucky. i may be too hopeful. i am counting on the fact that the PA legislators will see all of the tax revenue rolling over to jersey and wake up. again though, as long as there is a dispensary right across the trenton-make bridge, im good.

I got my card more for peace of mind. Don't have to worry about getting in trouble in PA for possession of a small amount of MJ. I still don't know why the Feds don't de-schedule it. That's the real joke. De-schedule it and let the states handle it and let these businesses operate normally, not as cash only.

Well they decriminalized possession for small amounts of it in Philly a little while back. They're not gonna waste their time writing up a citation for $100.

It's ironic to me that they still keep state stores around because they don't want to lose the tax revenue, but at the same time they'll drag ass on marijuana that would bring in 10x the tax revenue. But then again they did come around on gambling, so hopefully.
December 3, 20205 yr Whatever you guys end up with, expect it to take the usual governmental 2-3 years of waste and poor decisions before things begin running semi-properly. Legalization happened here a little over two years ago and just now are independent shops and dispensaries becoming common everywhere (mountains of red tape involved). If I can recall, there weren't any dispensaries open at the time of legalization. In the beginning, all legal purchases were made through a government online shop which was marred with shortages and shipping issues. We're allowed to grow up to 4 plants per household which I am going to attempt to do next summer. The only major problem with it is that tons and tons of people have had their plants stolen right out of the ground in their own backyards. It's actually a huge problem.
December 3, 20205 yr Rec can present huge problems especially if there is a strong contingent in the state legislature that feels like it has been forced. Luckily there are some states that have got it close to right (not California) that can be used as models. What I don't understand at the moment is why legislatures look to Michigan when the Colorado and Washington models are more mature and balanced to allow a regulated industry to grow.
December 9, 20205 yr so, i have found a seed or two along the way over the last few years and decided to try my luck. grew it at my friends house (he did the vast majority of the work). i have no clue what strain it is, but excited to see how it smokes.
December 10, 20205 yr My BFF brought me over some magick Rice Krispy treats made with weed butter. I've been eating a half of one every night to help relax me to better sleep. They taste fine, but love that smell when I open the ziplock bag. Just danky goodness. I'm also a craft beer snob and find the aromas of weed and hops to sometimes be somewhat similar. She (my BFF) has a friend in Hawaii that is growing different strains that affect the body in different positive ways. Really scientific philosophy behind it from what she was telling me. Also have a good friend that got some medicinal weed and took the seeds from it and grew 3 plants in her backyard over the Summer: Mary, Juan and Anna (and she has a township K9 cop across the street from her, lol). She's currently drying them out and I'm awaiting the results. Her first time doing it and she was taking direction from High Times Magazine on how to do it yourself. I bake these gluten/sugar free pumpkin cupcakes that have impressed most people I've shared them with and I'm curious how that combo would work out. I prefer edibles as other than the occasional cigar with a good Scotch/Bourbon/Anejo Tequila, I'm not a smoker. So much use for these amazing plants. From medicine to paper to rope to clothing. Time to let go of the stigma attached to it and embrace all the good it can provide.

Cannabaceae is a small family of flowering plants. As now circumscribed, the family includes about 170 species grouped in about 11 genera, including Cannabis (hemp, marijuana), Humulus (hops) and Celtis (hackberries). Hemp (Cannabis) and hop (Humulus) are the only economically important species
December 10, 20205 yr My friend from college lived in DC about 10 years ago, and a couple of us went up to visit him. He was in the food industry, and one of the chef's he knew gave him some potent weed cookies. Apparently, we were only supposed to eat 1/4 of the cookie, and he told us that after we each ate the entire thing. We went to the Museum of Natural History, and I was convinced that they weren't working. Then we got to the tiny indigenous people from the earliest civilization of South America, and we both thought they were alive. It felt sort of like this: Then we knew we had to get the hell out of there and maybe get some food. We walked about 1/4 mile to one of the chain restaurants nearby (maybe a Buffalo Wild Wings or any Applebee's). We barely made it. It was a straight shot across a parking lot, and it felt like I was in Labyrinth. When we finally got there about 3 hours later, we all ordered food, but when it was served, all we could do is stare at it and laugh. I didn't physically have the ability to cut into the boneless wings and put them in my mouth. I think we paid the tab but maybe not. That trip lasted about another 5 hours, and we couldn't go out that night. I haven't done edibles since, but next time I do I'm thinking I'll do a lot more research on the amount to put in my body.
