https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/south-carolina-republican-introduces-bill-decriminalize-marijuana-federal-level-n1283913?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma The GOP just threw down a gauntlet on Federal legal weed; now they can corner the Dems on it. The Dems cannot say no, or they lose a good...

Also, the FBI and such had to drop thier 'no cannabis use' requirement for IT security consultants/gov hackers, from what I have heard. Turns out a lot of the best programmers and hackers tend to also enjoy cannabis, and you cannot employ the best of that lot if you exclude people who partake...

I could understand that, even if I support it for recreational use. I think the military would probably be ok with CBD use, as it has no psycho-active components and has a lot of medical benefits over other pain treatments.

I want to thank you for doing that break down of the stats related to cannabis. Finding reliable hard data on it is a challenge in itself, because for a long time you could not get grants for studies in it unless you were setting out to show harmful effects from the get go. Also, the 'suicide...

I know, and I understand why you would operate off that assumption for cannabis. I used to think that way as well. However, I got to know a lot of life-long cannabis smokers when I was in the cannabis industry, and not a single one had lung cancer issues. I asked why that was, and they laid...

No, that's propaganda. Tabacco and cannabis have different reactions in the lungs. Tabacco dries the lungs out, and lodges in the lungs. Cannabis causes the opposite reaction, by overstimulating mucus production in the lungs, which keeps particulates from lodging much, and just results in...

However the difficulties the cannabis industry faces with things like banking, theft/fire insurance, payroll, business deductions for taxes, and the like won't get solved till it goes Federally legal. Same with the issues Individuals faced that I mentioned above. However, descheduling is a...

Nah, we need Federal legalization to keep employers, insurance companies, and the like from continuing to treat it differently than alcohol. There are definitely some jobs/positions where the people doing it shouldn't partake regularly if they are doing it. However, there is no reason to bar...

I said multiple times on the GOP surveys I was sent that this issue could have been a useful wedge against the Dems. However I doubt the establishment GOP in control of the RNC has any interest in admitting cannabis legalization on the Federal level is popular, given they also tend to be...

Oh, and in related news: This is one area where Trump dropped the ball, and left an issue on the table that could have helped the GOP under cut the Dem coalition. Had the GOP decided to go for federal legalization, it would have seriously hurt the Dem coalition, and likely split of parts of it.

Ah, ok, that's an angle I hadn't heard very often. And I can understand it, because with the taxes that get levied on legal cannabis, it can get pricey pretty fast in some locations. I know stores will have customer loyalty programs (points or cash-back towards future purchases are common) to...

Which is fair, and knowing yourself well enough to understand that is not a bad thing. I would only say it might be worth looking at CBD products instead of straight cannabis for someone like you. CBD is non-psycho-active and has a lot of health benefits for pain management and digestive...

Cannabis doesn't create dependence or have withdrawal symptoms. Heck, I knew people in the cannabis industry who used cannabis to help them beat heroin addition and ease the withdrawal symptoms from it. I know people that won't drink who smoke regularly, and aside from extra mucus production in...

So on the suggestion of some posters interested in discussing cannabis, it's affects, its history, and it's place in culture, I've decided to make a thread where dedicated discussions can take place. I am interested in seeing and hearing the perspectives and experiences of others, both...
