Cali decriminalizes pot

[Lake View Too]

I smoked some G-13 here and there in my youth. Highly recommend.

Was it as good as "Tallhassee Two-Toke" or "Nagasaki Gold"? Was it as good as "Martian Pot" or "Polio Pot"? Of course, there was always the legend of "Humbolt County Primo"... but that's as far as my memory will take me...

I was the era of Centsamelia (sp.?) - from Hawaii or S. America - my memory fails me now.

I always thought G-13 was a myth?? I think the government does grow the stuff for research purposes. Isn't there a federal grow house in Mississippi?

Out in california you can pick up any number of different brands of 'chronic' by walking into a store. They are also selling it now in limited ways in bars, mixed with drinks like red bull and vodka. (potka) The times they are a cha cha cha changin' man!

This thread intrigued me so I did a search and found one that is in the top five, might be considered medicinal.....called White Widow and supposed to be the absolute best in the world. Skunk something is evidently very similar to what you get in a hash bar in Amsterdam. Do Y'all think we'll ever have a Cannabis Festival?

If enough states decriminalize it, the federal government will follow by dropping it's classification. That would really help to open things up.

I really feel something like this should be left entirely up to the states. It's crazy how certain clauses in the constitution have been warped by the courts in justifying federal control over such things.

I am actually on the fence with decriminalizing marijuana and not convinced it's necessarily a good thing.......I mean government control? Tax? I just can't wrap myself around this concept.

In any event, I suspect there would always remain a black market, right?

How big is the black market for alcohol and tobacco? Yes, the government taxes the hail out of both too. But these are optional consumption based taxes. If we're going to tax stuff, that's the right way to do it.

Partnership for a drug free America = Big Alcohol

I think G-13 is a myth. There are a handful of people who can legally possess and smoke marijuana. They were grand fathered in before Reagan stamped out those hippies trying to decriminalize it. The last time I saw something on it was a report from 1996 and the guy was smoking from a government issued tin with a date stamp of 1978. I seriously doubt that there's some giant government grow house, but you never know. Maybe that's what's really going on in Area 51?

Was that a black helicopter?

OK, fair enough. But, I don't want to pay the tax. I just met someone from CA who has a medicinal marijuana permit - old football injury....actually, it was pole vaulting, I think....but, this guy is a total pothead - think Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

I think initially the Black Market will be huge like 'stills' used to be when people wanted to avoid that taxation. I suspect this black market will probably level off when you're hitting retirement and have the STD thing to worry about.
