Discussion: Utah Senator Rides High On Medical Pot Vote By Trying Marijuana For First Time

I’ve always wondered what a real world case of liberal over reach would look like.

A gummy bear. Singular. No wonder he thought it was no big deal.

plus edibles take a while to kick in, so there’s still a chance we might get an update where he wonders aloud if he’s dead

How many bears does it take for a normal buzz? I have no experience with psychoactive bears.

A typical single edible is 10mg. I can’t honestly say I’d even notice that or not. I’ve had medicinal chocolate bars that were 40mg per segment and I’d call it a mild buzz. YMMV.

My gummy bears are 10 mg of THC each. They recommend one and then wait. Usually 2 works for me. But I"m with @squirreltown - it’s not like I get overwhelmed or anything close. hahaha It is a very mild buzz. I have always had that reaction to edibles. They always have given me just a mild buzz.

If I were ever a wild overindulger in just about everything I could get my hands on, and I’m not saying I was, I let just about all of it go a long time ago. If they ever legalize opium that would be news I could use. I might have pleasant memories of that, if I had ever done it, which I’m not saying.

I have vivid memories and I would so be an opium fiend if there was just a damn opium parlor around here somewhere.

Where did they all go, dammit!?

I’d give a lot to be able to visit a 19th-century drugstore every month or so.

Our slogan can be “Legalize it. Or not. S’fine either way, really…”

I’m still dazzled that marijuana is legal anywhere.

I spent a lot of years pretty nervous, cause Texas. 25 year sentences for a roach,

Costs a lot of money to prosecute and jail people for basically nothing.

Weren’t there a lot of years back in the day when NYC was basically the same way? Draconian sentences for simple user-level drug busts.

Yes it does.

And I knew that once they caught on to the amount of money to be made in legal pot that it would be unstoppable. If New Mexico elects Michelle Lujan Grisham governor, it will legalize. Medical is legal now but they see the money pouring over their northern border. There are Colorado pot shops sitting in every town in Colorado that is on the New Mexico border. New Mexico needs the money desperately.

@mattinpa - sure, the modern Jim Crow is what those laws were and they were severe all over the place. Some places just have a really high conviction rate and Dallas Co is one of those places. The state always wins.

I’ve heard that from a friend too and holy shit both our friends are right because, uh, we have a lot of, uh, confidence in their opinions, yeah, that’s the ticket.
