Our only hope is NC or GA legalize it and reap millions of dollars of profit. Just like the lottery, the opposition will wain when money shows up.

I know we have mutual friends who have smoked weed. Still, he'll never budge on the issue. Too much work lost for law enforcement.
That being said, IF we legalized it, I would want us to have better quality and quantity controls than places like Colorado, etc. I mean they have oils, and other refinements, hydro, etc. that make it so strong it will mess you up pretty bad. I'd like some type of quality control and strength limit. Say rewind to 2000 street THC levels would be about right. Even on the street the quality varies greatly. And of course tax the heck out of it, but not so much the market stays on the street and illegal because it would be cheaper. People need to know what they're ingesting. You have that with alcohol, and mostly have it with nicotine.

When in CA for CFP game I googled closest dispensary to me. A couple of miles.
Read the menu and all of the edibles, etc had THC and CBD content based on percentage. It was just like looking at a beer that is 8.2% ABV vs a 5.7%.
I never actually saw a dispensary, but the thought that the dosage was clearly labeled made me feel like I could go in and say, hey I want a buzz like I had 3 beers, whatcha got?

Im glad you are for legalization, but your argument about potency and controlling it is way off and very inaccurate. Weed is not stronger these days, we simply have access to higher quality strains and better technology to grow it in proper conditions.
Take Indica strains for example. Indica is supposed to be grown in cooler, mountainous climates. If you grow Indica strains in the warm climate of Mexico, it will not be very potent. Grow it in the Northern Appalachians or in Colorado, and it will be very potent.
Weed is "stronger" in the sense that we can grow it in such a way to achieve its full potential. It is not "stronger" in the sense that we've figured out some magical sciencey way to grow some kind of super-herb.
Also, the concentrations of THC and CBD can be calculated and are advertised much like proofs and ABV for alcohol. Likewise, different strains have different effects on the body. Some make you feel sleepy, some make you feel like snacking, some make you feel more focused (which can make you feel paranoid if you arent doing some type of activity), etc. You'e heard it with alcohol, some people say "Oh may, jagermeister and I are a bad combination, I'll drink vodka all day but I just cant touch Jager." Same thing with weed.
The fears expressed in opposition to legalizing weed are either completely irrational, or they are arguments about things also seen with alcohol and tobacco which we as a society have already addressed and created contingencies for (such as drunk driving).

Hydro is just a method of cultivation, it doesn't inherently

make it more potent or anything. The quality varies on the street cause you don't know w tf you're getting. In the regulated markets you do know what you're getting as far as strength, etc. goes.

I would also argue that concentrates such as waxes, oils, edibles, etc. are an even better option than simply the plant matter.
Its a more controlled consumption method, and delivery method. Not to mention, its created through a process system that creates accurate dosages of the chemicals available.
Meaning, its more efficient, cleaner, and more easy to regulate consumption than just smoking. And, it doesnt stink up the place.

Son of Joe Wilson, Congressman. Former prosecutor with the gubnah when McMaster was AG. Shoe-in for promotion to that office. Good guy, but so are most SC politicians. Doesn't make them forward leaning or thinking, or mean I agree with them. I'm not sure SC would elect a democrat who would have a different position on that really.

How long did SC hang onto mini bottles before going to free
Jan 23, 2019, 6:26 PM

pour? How bad did the roads get before gas taxes were raised? How long was it before beer above 6% could be sold? How long did the blue laws last? SC will be the last state to legalize pot. We may even be the ONLY state that still keeps it illegal, for decades.

But seeing how we're only a few years away from being a majority Ohio/Michigan transplant state, I'm not so sure anymore. They'll get tired of just running the HOA boards and eventually decide to run the state.

I agree. We need to push for recreational and go scorched earth on the people resisting it.
I would never be able to use medical marijuana, even though doing so would significantly help some things I have to deal with.
As we've talked about previously, you probably know I'm a huge gun owner. The FBI audits all state's with medical marijuana programs and forces states to hand over lists of everyone who has a medical marijuana card or prescription. Then, the FBI enters their name in various federal criminal databases, which prohibits said marijuana users from doing certain things.
In the case of gun owners, the FBI takes the names of medical marijuana patients, and puts their names in the NICS background check system (the system used to to gun purchase background checks). Once the patients name is listed in NICS, they are prohibited from purchasing a gun for the rest of their life. Even if they get rid of their medical marijuana card, the fact that they HAD a card at any point in their life is justification enough, at least in the Feds eyes. You can appeal your denial status with NICS, but they will simply say "well, we have proof you use illegal drugs, we have a copy of your medical marijuana license. No guns for you."
And of course, being in possession of a firearm after your name has been put in the NICS denial database can result in the ATF coming after you and charging you with a felony if they so choose to do so.
That is something that is more of a personal issue for myself and other gun owners, and isnt something that is necessarily as widespread as the other issues with the government regulating this stuff. However, it just highlights one of the many ways we the people are being abused over something that is less harmful than alcohol.
