In 2016 alone, an estimated 64,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses—more than the combined death tolls for Americans in the Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq Wars. In Portugal, meanwhile, the drug-induced death rate has plummeted to five times lower than the E.U. average and stands at one-fiftieth of the United States’. Its rate of HIV infection has dropped from 104.2 new cases per million in 2000 to 4.2 cases per million in 2015. Drug use has declined overall among the 15- to 24-year-old population, those most at risk of initiating drug use.
Max, I just say there has to be a better approach than locking up people.
We have run out of prison space. The system is notably broken and the US has the highest incarceration rate in the entire world. How is continuing the same broken policy going to work with the rise of the current opiod addiction epidemic.
Just saying its time to try and alternative. We know what the last 50 years of bad policy has done.
Us prison system is once you have that felony on your record, you're fucked and out of a normal societal pool. You're basically a prisoner for life and squander in poverty. It is quite sad.
American incarceration rate is completely out of control, highest in the developed world by a factor of 2. But no one wants to listen to facts tho...
I would give weed the old college try as a sub for alcohol but I'm too lazy.....
1. Smoking weed stinks the fack outta errthang.
2. Edibles take too much effort to control correctly. A client of ours has a dispensary. He gave me a bag of MJ Goldfish. The directions said "eat 1/2 a bag, wait 45 minutes, see how you feel, then consume more
PRN. I waited an hour, no effect. So I ate the other 1/2 a bag. I was still stoned the next morning at damn near noon. I ain't got time for that shit.

Isn't pot the real reason that vape shit is popular? I've seen people vaping with it and it doesn't really smell.

Sorta depending on the ingredients it can smell quite strong though. Nowhere near the "real" stuff though.

Is it true that some weed makes you less paranoid? Or is like the shit with booze and the type of drunk you get bullshit
I used to smoke a lot and then quit and it was like a switch got flipped. I immediately became super paranoid on even a little weed.
Some people aren't wired to enjoy it, or even worse can be detrimented by it. If it doesn't work for you then don't mess with it.

but give people the option of choice.
If weed was legal tomorrow, I still wouldnt partake due to job loss concern. But don't jail people over it.
I'm not really a smoker, just the casual beers with friends. But if them gonjas was legal I'd likely do it occasionally. A friend of mine who lives in Cali has been smoking up a bit lately and said he likes it because it doesn't leave him hung over the next day. But don't overdo it where your high lasts for 2 days.
My wife has bouts of migraines and is constantly exhausted. I'm sure there's more going on than depression on a chemical level. I said she should possibly check out some medical MJ and see what's up. Might possibly help out.
Like I said, I never really smoked, but I used to play a shit ton of disc golf and compete in a LOT of tournaments. I knew a lot of people that smoked and it's not really a big deal. They're all normal hard working people who have their shit together.

I get tested, and my industry won't change their policy until testing improves to determine influence levels.
if it becomes federally legal, that shit will get challenged and overturned via precedence in about 6 months. That's only if a "how high are you" test like BAC does not come out first.

how drunk are you at work.
Besides, in a performance based role, who cares what you do. Can you do your job safely and correctly when you are required to do your job?
