Another Mass Shooting: It's Those Darn Video Games!

[Swansong]

There’s definitely nothing wrong with recreationally smoking wild grown weed but no way constantly consuming weed from a dispensary can be good for you mentally or physically. The stuff you can buy nowadays is nothing like what we used to smoke back in the day.

It's significantly better actually, as it's tested pretty rigorously. It's clean (no concerns over whatever they have added to the old brick weed out of Mexico anymore), it's much higher quality and it's much safer.

This is a ridiculous and ignorant statement.

For example, every year I see **** about "check your kid's Halloween candy for edibles," like someone is going to give a child their edibles in full view of their parents.

Like someone is going to spend the money to give your kids edibles. Those things ain't cheap, your kids can spend your own ****ing money on their edibles.

[Slap Shot]

This is stupid even for you...

Is it?

[rufus]

Is it?

No, pretty much the usual.

It’s like comparing bud lite to Bacardi 151. I get the quality is better but it is so much stronger than stuff randomly growing in the woods.

I buy gummies for my mom. These are just the CBD oil gummies, not the cannabis. The gummies are $2 each. Hell no I'm not giving those away. I can get a huge bag of candy for $5 at Target.

He's right. My friend Becky used to be a happy popular girl until one night she snorted marijuana at a party. She died instantly.

Which means... what, exactly?



Do you often find weed randomly growing in the woods?

[rufus]

Weed. The devil's lettuce. It freaks you out, man.

I know of nobody ever that went looking for a fight after they got stoned. Let alone wanted to get a gun and shoot someone. I don't care how potent the stuff is.

I've been trying not to respond because I didn't want to turn this thread into an MJ debate, but JFC, Drew. The, "Today's weed is soooo much stronger and more dangerous than what hippies smoked in the 60s" argument is so old and worn out that even Nancy Reagan is laughing at you from beyond the grave in-between giving out blowies in Hell. Just like booze, is it healthy to be doing it every day? **** no. We generally call those people alcoholics and tell them to get help quitting or cutting back. Everything in moderation (which some fixed percentage of people are genetically not capable of). But just like buying booze from a package store is safer than drinking whatever hooch Bubba distilled in the shack out back, tightly regulated and lab-tested cannabis from licensed dispensaries is a hell of a lot safer than buying dodgy, stepped-on, possibly adulterated crap from your neighborhood dealer, some of whom want to hook you on much harder, more dangerous stuff.

MN has wild weed as well. Grows in the ditches. Friend once harvested several thousand dollars worth.

I think we’re more on the same page than you realize. My issue with dispensaries isn’t the quality, it’s the potency and accessibility. The stuff you can buy at a dispensary is so much easier to consume than old fashioned weed you had to smoke as well. As I said in my original post, no issue at all with recreation use, but when you have someone young consuming mass amounts of THC it’s oftentimes not going to lead to something good.

Yeah. The local Quick Stop might run out of Cheetos.

[Handyman]

You have to be 21 to buy it legally...what the **** are you talking about?
