Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why Pot Should Remain Illegal at Federal Level

Where do you get this stuff from? Do you make it up as you go along?
1. Just because weed would be legal, doesn't mean that you can drive a car while under the influence. Just like alcohol is legal but you can't drive drunk. Breaking the law is breaking the law. Do you think that people don't drive now because it's illegal? I can see the thought process "I'll smoke some illegal weed but I won't drive after because it's illegal".
2. If it's legalized, it won't have to be brought over the border and sold on street corners. It'll be grown on weed farms and sold at the local tobacco shop or liquor store. If it's legalized, there goes the profit motive for the cartels.

and mescaline shares the same basic structure as human epinephrine and norepy. but keep that quiet.

I've known judges, doctors, lawyers and lots of business owners, even cops who smoke weed on occasion. i myself don't but i have no problem with other people who do do.

Why is it ok to give kids and adults "Anti depressants" all the while weed is illegal ?

Boy are you confused.

Got nothing to do with the kids

they get anti depressants and Ritalin so their mom doesn't kill em.

weed is an anti depressant?

You make me laugh!! That right there is funny.

He aint wrong.

Its the gospel music for the new generation.

Around here you would sub (methheads) for jiggaboos, keystones for Hennessey and Crystal for Kate!

If somebody wants to smoke a doob, it doesn't affect me at all. Pot should be legal. Period.

Freedom of choice, liberty and personal responsibility.

Change the topic from pot to alcohol and it's the same argument as it was during prohibition.

If you don't like gettin' high, don't get high.

But do not stop someone else from doing it. They may like it. And like drinking, do it responsibly. i.e. stay off the road.

The caveat of living in a free country is putting up with chit you do not like. Ask any anti-gunner.

I guess there are a few here who want the govn't to rule our lives. As long as it fits "their" vision of "our" society.

It’s definitely not your grandfathers weed. As mentioned the THC levels have gone up through the years. 10-12% was the average in the 70’s, now it’s pushing 35% THC. We consistently grow 27% THC weed but THC level is not really the marker people use to measure the strength. The turpene profile is what is mainly used to distinguish what medical use each strain is best for. As a non smoker I took a hit of some of the stuff we grow, and I was paralyzed for about an hour. I’d rather have a drink. But to daily smokers it’s just “normal”. I don’t think I’d want someone driving on it, but it can’t be worse than driving drunk.

The terpene profile is a marketing technique. Based on the same concept as aromatic oils. There is no need to run clinical trials when the "medical" uses are defined in that manner. Having it "approved by the FDA" for such and such is a whole different matter. THC content and chemical analytical analysis in general took great strides from the 70s and "wet" chemistry techniques.
the THC grown in the 70s can be ever bit as strong, I did graduate work in a Pharmacognosy Lab. , when 50% of all medicines were plant extracts.

Medical use and indications will be determined by the THC, and its isomers (such as Marinol). Terpenes are oils, and THC is an alcohol. Terpenes can cause lipoid pneumonia, THC is not without its "side-effect" profile either. Which can include neuropsychiatric,hemodynamic,seizure,paradoxical nausea etc.
