= i was quite the smoker back in my day.
= i agree that being caught should result in a fine of some type.
= jail time, a criminal history etc is excessive and does nothing but prevent defendants from getting jobs and being successful in life.
= i dont think full-blown legalization is appropriate at this time given the opiate pandemic.. legalization makes the other drugs "not so bad" to youngsters
I don't know if it would work the same here but in Colorado they have noticed a sharp decline in people using harder drugs. I think it is due to the kids who think since I am doing one illegal thing its not so bad if I do another are now able to get weed without the harsh consequences. Now that it is legal there the kids are just doing weed. They also don't have to interact with dealers that will sell weed and other harder drugs. By the way when I say kids I really mean young people 18-21 and not 12 year olds.

Maybe a pin joint. The joints I roll use a lot more than a gram.
Joints are a thing of the past. The best way to get your THC is through a Volcano vaporizer.

4oz a month ...
If you have to medicate 2 or 3 times daily 4 oz a month isn't that much.

No, as long as the symptoms “reasonably can be expected to be relieved” by the use of Cannabis.
And as long as you have a "bona fide" relationship with the doctor that prescribed you.

The meeting has barely finished and the Calvert cronies already want to tax it. http://www.somdnews.com/recorder/ne...cle_4d6441ae-6f3b-56f5-93d2-9991da77abb8.html
They will do absolutely nothing to contribute to the business, but will happily, at the point of a gun (all taxes are collected by force or coercion), demand their pound of flesh. The first plant has yet to be harvested, the first prescription filled, the first employees paid, and here they are already scheming a way to get their cut. Bastards.

The head of the group that put on this meeting actually went to the Comissioners with this idea.
It was a stupid move, IMO, as with anything govt. related, you give them an inch, and they take a mile. Essentially saying "we'll pay more if the money goes to the schools" is just a way to make your controversial company looks good in the eyes of the community. Over half of the County's budget already goes to schools anyway. Now, they'll get the company's SMECO rebate check and a special excise tax.

Not at all. Any kind of pain can be treated with medical cannabis. For example a lot of people use it to treat RSI which is a repetitive motion motion injury similar to Carpel tunnel. It can even be used to treat insomnia.
Yea but will Maryland law allow "any kind of pain to be treated with medical cannabis"? Some states you have to have a major illness like cancer in order to qualify for a prescription where in others you can get one for headaches.

Don't forget cocaine for those nose bleeds, and actual meth (both, I assume are quite rarely prescribed).
But in all seriousness, especially for those looking for the veteran discount, remember that if you work for the Fed or have a clearance that Uncle Sam is not OK with MJ regardless of state legality.
My fear is if you give people an inch they will try and take a mile. There are people that can truly benefit from medical marijuana but there are also those that will flood the system because they have a hangnail, a painful zit, or some other stupid reason. I am a supporter of total legalization even for recreational use but I am worried that people will try and push for this too soon and ruin it for the truly sick people. We need to focus on getting it legalized and readily available to those that are in true need of this beneficial drug now and fight for total legalization later. The fight also needs to go to the federal level so they can recognize marijuana as a medically beneficial drug even if it is only for the treatment or to ease the symptoms of the sickest patients, those that are terminally ill or cancer patients going through chemo. Personally I think if you are terminally ill you should be able to do any drug you want but that is just my opinion.

I'm neither of these but I didn't even think about that.

Why do I get the feeling that if education sees a dime of this money, it won't be the amount promised to them?
