Alaska legalizes cannabis
- Thread starter jwheat
- Start date
Oregon and Washington DC are also legalizing recreational cannabis usage. In fact, the law goes into effect tomorrow in DC.
As long as Ohio passes med/rec soon, it doesn't matter to me if KY is the 50th state to pass it.
Really haven't researched it enough to know what the chances are of Ohio getting this done in the next couple of cycles. Anyone have any insight into this? There seems to be rumblings about it, but I really have no idea what the poll numbers look like or what the prevailing sentiment is in the state.

Ohio will do it just to spite Kentucky, and take more $$$$$$$ from us.
I dread it in KY. It wont' be pretty for anybody, and you don't want government in the mj business anymore than they already are. Will just be a political and social mess because people can't handle themselves around here.

^^ We will eventually HAVE to do it. We can't be the only state prohibiting pot.
We already lose too much money to the Tennessee line on alcohol.
As much as painpills are killing the people in this state, one would think it would be a no brainer to legalize pot

the prohibition on this, when we have so so so much to gain from it as an industry, makes me tired as hell.
If you go back through the history of the US and look at where cannabis and hemp in particular have fallen in the eyes of some people it will make you even more tired.
Hemp is a cheaper way to make clothing.
Hemp is a cheaper, more "green" way to make paper.
Hemp is an excellent source of fiber.
Yet it is illegal. ONLY because you can smoke the bud, but guess what?
Weed is a safer pain killer than the opioids we are shoving down everybody with a tooth ache's throat
Weed is safer than the 120 xanex that we are giving John Doe a month
Weed is safer than the appetite pills that we are giving these rail girls to make them eat
Yet I can go to the line and get a fifth of ciroc and soak my liver in that and get cirrhosis and die

Don't get this line of reasoning. If KY were to hesitate on everything that the state gov't will potentially mishandle then everything would be prohibited.
Legalize it, if nothing else then for the benefit of Sam Elliott and his cronies.
Anyone who is able to think rationally realizes that misinformation has been the name of the game for years. Medicinal value is there but it honestly still needs more research and examination. The benefits it provides for people in regard to pain and appetite management are indisputable, but long term health effects do need more study. Many of the commonly attributed issues referenced by opponents are a byproduct of combustion; these risks can be mitigated with edibles or utilization of vaporizers. The research going on right now pertaining to CBD and the positive effects it seems to have on those with epilepsy are fascinating and very encouraging. Just a few of several examples.
Hemp is a great resource and the cotton lobby used its relation to the smokeable cannabis plant to help get it outlawed.
There are several factors in play to end this ridiculous prohibition nationwide. Big Pharma and Big Prison will fight with everything they have to stop its reclassification to a lower schedule. That is the first real step, find someone with the clout and balls to push the feds to reclassify. That will speed up the process exponentially.
More than anything, it's about taking freedom of choice back.

If Kentucky legalizes it, it will be like wet and dry counties only we'll have cool and uncool counties.
Kentucky already has some of the most lax mj laws of any state as it is. You can possess up to 8 oz and as long as it isn't broke into small quantities it is considered for personal use. Misdemeanor.
You can grow up to four plants and it's a misdemeanor.
By the way, just because it's legal places, if you have a job worth a **** where you work for someone else, you will still be subject to piss tests.

Like dude up there said: KY ain't even legalized alcohol yet.
KY will be ready in like 20+ years.
They'll let Ohio do it and just police the **** out of it. War on drugs is $$$ too, but it's also fighting the Devil. Take a little while to change that mentality. Voters gonna vote.
South Carolina might be after kentucky but NO WAY does alabama do it before any other state..we dont even have the touching lottery cuz it's the devil..
So because your employer forces you to submit to a piss test you have a better job than others? Ok then. Thinking back, every place that required me to take a drug test was a crap place to work. Luckily I work in an industry that doesn't hover over my personal life.
the 7pm liquor store thing blows my mind. we make an annual redneck pilgrimage to myrtle beach every year and have to address this reality every time.
Yep. My stock company Cannbix has the first MF'n patent on it too. I got 1,300 shares of it that I bought for $.07. Up to $.45 cents now. Will make a nice profit off this bastard
It puzzles me to think that some states have legalized it and bordering states are still fining and or putting people in jail for it. Really? FCC.
I go through Optionsexpress online. Their first prototype is apparently out. Lifeloc is in the process of making one too, but Cannabix has the patent, so Lifeloc is trying a different way to test.
Gotta be careful with the penny stocks, most are BS.
A Republican State Senator from Longview, TX -- located off I-20 between Dallas and Shreveport -- introduced a bill which legalizes marijuana possession and use in Texas. Supposedly, 7 more cannabis-related bills are also under consideration before this TX house session.
