And legal now. Plus, you can stay out of the databases.
Does anyone know if they are taking your information down when buying, or just checking your i.d.?

The greatest plant on the planet is legal.

Thanks to everybody on our side from the black market growers and sellers to the kids selling in the school yard. Some paid a heavy price but it was necessary to win against such odds. All governments of the World along with mass media and education system propaganda backed up by their mercenary police forces. No greater victory can ever be won

Sacred ToKin stone and friends.

They only check your ID, to confirm residency and age. It was specifically included in the initiative/legislation that the govt cannot require the stores to enter customers into any big-brother database. So, nothing to fear on that front. Also, since they are essentially cash-only businesses, there isn't any record of your identity in the financial transaction either.

To any one who might be on the fence about cannabis as a cure for cancer here is a link to 20 international studies conducted on the topic.
2 of which where done by the Harvard medical schools experimental treatment program

I personally receive wonderful pain reduction and have noticed anti inflammatory properties with various methods of ingestion for my right knee that has had three major reconstructions as well is missing 50 percent of my miniscus
All I will say on the subject but I urge you to take a look the results

That's why I'm a Libertarian. I'm sure the GOP will put forth a Statist who will work to subvert the will of 55% of the voters too. Add in the states around us complaining to the Feds and there will be a 10th Amendment showdown. If you want a guy to really represent us, lets get the Mayor of Glendale to run for Governor.

If the majority of the locals don't want it, why shouldn't they restrict it? This guy isn't restricting the next county over from selling, just businesses in his own county. Arguably, he has the support of the majority of his constituents. If he does not, then they'll vote him out next time around.

This politician is the Governor, his constituents are the entire state. And we voted for this at 55%, which was more votes than Obama got. Plus, he made millions selling booze. What a frikkin hypocrite. He will work to subvert this if reelected, as will whover the R's come up with. Want it to survive, vote for either Matt Hess or Mike Dunafon.

This post violated Guideline #1 and has been removed.

Business as usual...it only has changed for the out-of-staters that come here to buy weed.

And I believe he made his money from the oil industry no? I've always liked him, but if going against what his constituents want along with the general hypocrisy of his statements...well I won't be voting for him again.

Ian Stewart,

In fact the indoor stuff often needs more pesticides, because it's under unique stresses that the plants are not adapted to (fake lights etc). random testing finds 35% of samples contain pesticides, which if ingested by eating an apple your body can metabolize, but if those same chemicals are smoked- they have no chance to be filtered by your body. If people are considering this medicine and are already immunocompromised (as in the case of chemo patients or Chron's disease), or if people just give a shit about not smoking pesticides, they will soon have a choice for a premium product (think fair trade certified, USDA organic and the like). they will pay more, but also get piece of mind that their meds/drugs or whatever they want them to be are safe. Concentrates like bubble hash and hash, and edibles often test positive for solvents, like butane, which are legal in Colorado for processing (but not in California).

As far as sustainability- the indoor MJ growing industry (and the home growers) are responsible for 1% of all energy consumption nationwide and around 5% in states like CO and CA where it's legal. There are alternatives, but currently the average unit of cured MJ creates about 2000 times its weight in CO2 emissions. A joint is roughly 2 lbs of CO2 emissions if calculated using national grid-emissions factors.

Consumers who have been buying from basement dude for their whole lives are in for some major edumacating as this industry gets regulated and legitimized. And i say it's for the better.

Now: Would you pay 10-20% extra for a guaranteed safe/pesticide/herbicide/solvent free premium product that is grown using less energy than its competitors? (i know i'm talking to vienna sausage eating climbers who waste time on the internet so i still expect you to say no to the extra but it's something to consider!)

CDOT is forced to change mile marker #420 on I-70 to #419.99 after continued theft of this sign. denverpost.com/news/ci_2488…

I'd like to see what a poll comparing "DEA and Narcs" VS "Black Market and Cartels" Who do we trust to tell us the truth.

Bust the Pot Laws.

Pesticides are used to control pests, not plant stress. If you're using pesticides to deal with nutrient deficiencies, you're doing it wrong.

Whose random testing? Where did the samples come from? Are the samples exclusively indoor grown? I doubt very many home growers offered samples of their product given it's been illegal to grow anywhere in the USA until a year ago.

Until you provide a reliable source for this, I'm going to call complete and utter bullshit. 5% of all energy usage in CO and CA, eh? I'm not saying it doesn't use a ton of electricity, because it certainly does, but I'm also not just making up facts either.

If the only alternative was to buy from some random guy I've never met, yes. But that's not always the case. "Basement grown" does not imply that the origins and growing methods are unknown.

Not the case in the vast majority of purchases

99% of the pot I bought was from my sources.

Magic men.

I think it's time you stoners grow up and move on to an adult drug.
