CA always ahead of the curve...weed in airports

Virginia, set to open first medical pot dispensaries; one in Staunton.  The only state in the US, to allow medical marijuana . . . with no THC.

Big Tobacco'd. 

I can't wait for the state, to legalize it completely, under the condition it can only be grown by dogs.

[ggw]

Big Tobacco is actually not opposed to legalization. Like Big Food & Beverage, they see some obvious synergies. Big Pharma, on the other hand, is bankrolling much of the anti-legalization movement.

one would think, that by now, big pharma would realize, that they could control TLC from now until the end of time.  I can see it now . . . going to Walgreens, to buy weed.

That’s foolhardy thinking. The last time someone tried to control TLC, Left Eye burnt their house down.

My gf and I have become big proponents of weed gummies. Every Sunday for the last month or two, we've each popped a gummy and then wandered around one museum or another staring at art. Yesterday was the Hirshhorn.

usually i can sit back in pure smugness and snort at you residents of non-recreational states (or those lacking a functional supply infrastructure)... then this brought me crashing down.

I do agree with Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) is about to prohibit cannabis-infused candies that look "especially appealing to children,"

Unfortunately I don't think you can trust the THC heads to be smart about this stuff
When it's in flower/liquid/wax form, it's not appealing for kids to eat or even know how to consume

but when it looks like a tasty gummie bear or choco covered blueberry...what kid wouldn't want to snarf down a handful.  I'm super paranoid about edibles in the house and treat them like a firearm...must be in a locked case

only thing I will state in addition to this, no one has ever died from a THC overdose (as far as I know)
but people die every year from overdoes of Aspirin and cough medicine and other more 'benign' substances

Fuck when even the potheads don’t defend them ...
