Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

In after Baud. Damn.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

People are weird.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Drug dealer's explanation: Legal weed would be more expensive, "have more chemicals." It's as if the Sinaloa cartel had a super PAC.

— Dante Ramos (@danteramos) October 29, 2016

Must… resist… Andrew Sullivan… joke…

I’m finally seeing anti-Prop 4 commercials during the local tv news — a full week after early voting started in this state. Those ads are both sanctimonious and dishonest, and if I hadn’t already voted in favor, their will nobody think of the children!!! puling would’ve strongly influenced me to do so. (The pro-legalization people have been running extremely discreet ads for the last month or so, and they didn’t feel the need to lie.) I haven’t even been around marijuana since the mid-1980s, but the current “medical use is okay, as long as you’re a white person with enough money, but no way will we allow our nice neighborhoods to be defiled by pot shops or the human detritus they attract” patchwork goes beyond farce into tragedy.

Our (Repub) governor, Boston’s (Dem) mayor, and Cardinal O’Malley (still a force, here in the Commonwealth) have all come out against the proposal, arguing that it will enable filthy cartels to further target ‘the most vulnerable neighborhoods,’ while simultaneously claiming that nobody gets arrested for possession these days anyways. (Technically, adults can only be fined if they’re busted carrying less than an ounce, but ‘possession with intent to distribute’ is still a valuable loophole for law enforcement officers looking to keep Those People in their place.)

Of course, the real make-or-break state for full national legalization is California… although I find it somehow endearing that Maine apparently hopes to replace its decaying pulpwood industry with an even more renewable plant product…

@danteramos @jbarro The anti-legalization incumbents are white growers who couldn't stomach the industry risk when it was fully illegal…

    Nevada’s where the real legalization magic is – legal weed in Vegas. (I was last there 10+ years ago and scored an eighth from my limo driver…mid-grade that took too long just to get)
    That would also make every I-10 state west of Texas a legalized state…gonna really put some pressure on Texas to either legalize, decriminalize, or hire more state troopers.

    Mexican weed has all but disappeared from market, it all comes directly from American-owned farms in CA & CO nowadays

    Once upon a variation, long ago, sticky gold Columbian bud was the outright Gaia-damned shiznit. It was like hashish that was grown. I’d pay a pretty penny for it today, and would make a fucking killing with it if it was legal. And it’s the polar opposite of the soporific stoner green that’s the only thing available since 1987.

    And it smelled like cinnamon, not skunk.

    @BruceFromOhio: In my post-college days, the good shit was BC bud (British Columbia). Planes would fly the weed in from Canada, which was like gold, since kind bud was a super-rare thing to come across. Then, US growing exploded (early 2000?), and BC bud became synonymous with mid-grade…I had some amazing – AMAZING – weed when I first moved back to Houston. The stuff wasn’t vacuum-sealed into hard nuggets and felt/smelled like it was dropped in sugar syrup. And it was the kind of stuff that would leave my car reeking of skunk the next morning, even if it spent only 15 minutes in a bag in my pocket. I’m jonesing just talking about…I wish Colorado was a shorter drive!

    It’s certainly common knowledge here in CA – so much so that I’ve overheard my son’s middle-school classmates discussing the environmental damage routinely caused by the growers, with the same sort of earnest concern they apply to any other sort of pollution. That’s one of the many reasons I voted for legalization, although I am entirely uninterested in using the stuff myself. Legalize it, tax the hell out of it, regulate it tightly, and keep it the heck away from me.

    I have mixed feelings since I’m mildly asthmatic and somewhat allergic so I don’t savor having to hold my breath in public places like I used to when tobacco was everywhere. I understand from a criminal justice pov why legalization is good, but from the personal standpoint of looking at reverting to hermit status because going out anywhere isn’t worth it, I’m hoping PA holds off.

    Also, CO and CA? What about Ohio? When I lived there in the 80s it was a fairly open secret that pot was the 3rd largest cash crop, right behind corn and soybeans. And since you got more $$ for less product a lot of small farms kept going by growing weed in between rows of corn off in the middle of the field.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: As someone who *always* drove stoned when “on”, I think the notion that stoned drivers are on par with drunk drivers is way off. I’ve driven drunk enough to where I had double vision and other times where I barely remembered driving home….it’s a scary feeling. Driving stoned is nothing like that…focus is on point, driving at the speed limit, paying attention to all signs. I have/had zero – ZERO – fear of driving stoned (except for getting caught, but these days it’s supposed to just be a citation). YMMW, though, as someone not accustomed to being stoned would be better served by bumming a ride; they get too paranoid and are trying to process too many sensations rather than just go with the flow.

    I haven’t partaken since, well, sometime last century I suppose, and I’m not a big fan. That said, more than half the country has at least tried pot at some point or another, and you can’t arrest half the country. That means that the only purpose marijuana laws can possibly serve is to enable selective prosecution.

    So, if we had an initiative in NY to fully legalize pot, I’d support it. I don’t know that I’d ever smoke it again even if it were legal, but I know I’m sick of our states and our country sending so many people to jail over an infraction that more than half the country has committed.

    That’s definitely a concern, but to me the potential benefits of reduction in many other kinds of harm outweigh that – and this despite my husband and son being hit head-on last year by two dumb girls who were smoking while driving. Luckily, they were drifting at about 3 mph and my husband was stopped.

    It took me three hours, spread out over two days, to get through the monster San Francisco ballot. I don’t know why I bother to vote for local/state elected reps when they won’t do their goddamned jobs. Next week, assuming the legal-pot referendum passes, my coworkers and I get to start working on local land use regulations for it. Should be interesting.

    Like everything else, legalized weed is racist – lock black people up for selling and using something all the white people use and sell without going to jail (mostly), then legalize it after it’s clear that there’s a huge market for white people to exploit, then exclude anyone who was ever in jail for using and selling it legally. I’m still for legalized weed, but it needs to come with complete amnesty for offenders who wouldn’t have been arrested under any new law that makes their “crime” legal. So sick of the blatant racist fucking stacked deck bullshit around drug laws. Just like it’s now an “opiod epidemic” public health crisis now that everyone’s nice white family member is a junkie, instead of a law enforcement matter for “those people” who need to be locked up instead of treated.

    I live in Washington state, barely notice that pot is legal here. Bigger problem is with the large grocery stores now being able to sell liquor (used to have it only in state liquor stores). Kids were walking out with the liquor, because the stores were not keeping it separate from the under 21 shoppers. Now they have moved it besides or behind the cashiers and it’s a pain to shop for it tucked away in cabinets.

    I’m a long-time sober person who gave up occasional dabbling in pot well before showing legal booze the door. I also spend 8-10 weeks a year in Colorado (to snowboard, hike, and to spend time with friends and family).

    And I think legalization for personal consumption is the least-bad option. There should be sufficient tax revenue to fund reasonable and real treatment programs for people who need help quitting (and that should be more true of booze sales too, IMO). There should be controls for preventing underage purchase, and at least some effort to keep kids deterred till their still-forming brains can achieve some adult stability.

    But clearly prohibition has failed. That bit on the OP about the dealer opposing legalization was funny in a funny-sad sort of way. But if s/he is smart, they’ll figure out a way to be in on the ground floor of legal sales.

    Lets make pot safe, legal and taxed. And like homebrew beer and wine, if an individual wants to own 1 or 2 potted ‘ferns’, hey that’s OK too. It shouldn’t all turn into above-board but rapacious capitalism like the InBev and Diageo.

On the other hand, it wouldn’t have a chance in hell of passing if it included that – and drawing a line between those small-timers and the cartel shitheads is way too subtle an art for a ballot proposition. Best we can hope for is to legalize now and clean up the fallout later.

    I have been married 42 years & have not smoked dope in 42 years because it scare my bride, not the drug, just the crime. If it became legal I could easily see myself partaking again. I admit very much enjoying the relaxed loose feeling it gave me.

    My wife’s first take was a concern that users will smoke and drive.

    There are already users that smoke and drive. Best thing to do is legalize it, tax it, and tightly regulate it – which should include laws against toking and driving, just like we have laws against drinking and driving.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: I think one of the hardest parts of legalization is figuring out field sobriety tests and equivalents to breathalyzers for pot. BAC has a much shorter and more predictable metabolic line than THC.

    I do worry a bit that people will smoke (or eat a cookie or a jelly bean or whatever) and ski stoned. But they currently sell 24 oz cans of Bud and Pabst in nearly ever on-mountain eatery in Colorado, and I think drunk skiers/snowboarders are a bigger problem.

    @Keith P.:

    As someone who *always* drove stoned when “on”, I think the notion that stoned drivers are on par with drunk drivers is way off.

    I’ve heard drunk drivers make the same claims about how carefully they drive.

    Even with increasing state legalization, fed laws haven’t changed. What needs to happen is for weed to be demoted from being considered as bad as heroin and other drugs, and for serious testing on how it can affect driving and other tasks to begin.

    Also, in California, social workers claim that too many parents smoke weed around their kids, with resulting child lung problems. Unfortunately, the person making this claim on a debate about legalization was fuzzy on the statistics that might put this into perspective.

    The argument is that there’s no way to tell if someone is high and driving the way you can test someone’s blood alcohol level to see if they were drinking and driving. What’s probably going to happen is that a lot of people are going to have to go to court and fight an unfightable DUI charge because they’ll have no way to prove they weren’t high if a cop says he could smell it.

    And, yeah, coming from a family with several members who have struggled with addiction, I’m a little skeptical that every pot smoker everywhere knows if they’re too high to drive so it could never be a problem.

    @NW Phil: Before MADD and the 21 everywhere, Virginia had the best system for drinking. You could buy beer by the glass at 18, other alcohol by the glass at 19, take-away booze in bottles or cans at 21. That makes a lot of sense. Cuts down on pre party binge drinking. Plus, not drinking in high school was fine when you knew you were going to start in college. When you know you are going to start drinking illegally in a few years anyway, you are much more likely to start earlier. It’s a system that helps the bar and restaurant businesses and help colleges encourage responsible drinking.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone in TX arrested for DUI based on weed…not sure how that would work. I’m sure if you sound like Brad Pitt in True Romance, I imagine you’re getting a DUI, but experienced stoners don’t sound like they’re drunk.
    Last time I was pulled over (again, several years ago), I was stoned on hash and was carrying a quarter bag (which reeked). I got searched twice, but I wasn’t given any kind of sobriety test, nor did they find my bag, so they let me on my way…but I was also very cooperative with them, not giving them a reason to jam me.

Doesn’t totally stop the problem, but has had a an effect.

    I am not quite so sanguine as some of the posters here who claim pot doesn’t reduce driver safety. It may be less of an impact than booze, but count me skeptical that it’s zero. Then again, sleep-deprived driving is as bad or worse than drunk driving.

    http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/why-is-marijuana-banned-the-real-reason-is-worse-than-you-think/

    Why is marijuana banned? The real reason is worse than you think

    Across the world, more and more people are asking: Why is marijuana banned? Why are people still sent to prison for using or selling it?

    This article was originally published by The Influence, a news site that covers the full spectrum of human relationships with drugs. Follow The Influence on Facebook or Twitter.

    Most of us assume it’s because someone, somewhere sat down with the scientific evidence, and figured out that cannabis is more harmful than other drugs we use all the time—like alcohol and cigarettes.

    Somebody worked it all out, in our best interest.

    But when I started to go through the official archives—researching my book Chasing The Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs—to find out why cannabis was banned back in the 1930s, I discovered that’s not what happened.

    Not at all.

    In 1929, a man called Harry Anslinger was put in charge of the Department of Prohibition in Washington DC. But alcohol prohibition had been a disaster. Gangsters had taken over whole neighborhoods. Alcohol—controlled by criminals—had become even more poisonous.

    So alcohol prohibition finally ended–and Harry Anslinger was afraid. He found himself in charge of a huge government department, with nothing for it to do. Up until then, he had said that cannabis was not a problem. It doesn’t harm people, he explained, and “there is no more absurd fallacy” than the idea it makes people violent.

    But then—suddenly, when his department needed a new purpose—he announced he had changed his mind.

    He explained to the public what would happen if you smoked cannabis.

    First, you will fall into “a delirious rage.” Then you will be gripped by “dreams… of an erotic character.” Then you will “lose the power of connected thought.” Finally, you will reach the inevitable end-point: “Insanity.”

    Marijuana turns man into a wild beast. If marijuana bumped into Frankenstein’s monster on the stairs, Anslinger warned, the monster would drop dead of fright.

    Harry Anslinger became obsessed with one case in particular. In Florida, a boy called Victor Lacata hacked his family to death with an axe. Anslinger explained to America: This is what will happen when you smoke “the demon weed.” The case became notorious. The parents of the US were terrified.

    What evidence did Harry Anslinger have? It turns out at this time he wrote to the 30 leading scientists on this subject, asking if cannabis was dangerous, and if there should be a ban.

    Twenty-nine wrote back and said no.

    Anslinger picked out the one scientist who said yes, and presented him to the world. The press—obsessed with Victor Lacata’s axe—cheered them on.

    In a panic that gripped America, marijuana was banned. The US told other countries they had to do the same. Many countries said it was a dumb idea, and refused to do it. For example, Mexico decided their drug policy should be run by doctors. Their medical advice was that cannabis didn’t cause these problems, and they refused to ban it. The US was furious. Anslinger ordered them to fall into line. The Mexicans held out—until, in the end, the US cut off the supply of all legal painkillers to Mexico. People started to die in agony in their hospitals. So with regret, Mexico sacked the doctor—and launched its own drug war.

    But at home, questions were being asked. A leading American doctor called Michael Ball wrote to Harry Anslinger, puzzled. He explained he had used cannabis as a medical student, and it had only made him sleepy. Maybe cannabis does drive a small number of people crazy, he said—but we need to fund some scientific studies to find out.

    Anslinger wrote back firmly. “The marihuana evil can no longer be temporized with,” he explained, and he would fund no independent science. Then, or ever.

    For years, doctors kept approaching him with evidence he was wrong, and he began to snap, telling them they were “treading on dangerous ground” and should watch their mouths.

    From what I’ve seen, most medical users here in CA use edibles rather than smoking. The dosage can be more easily controlled. The local alt weekly is full of ads for MM clinics. Some of them have been running ads opposing Prob 64, probably because they are afraid of competition. I think that’s misguided; they have an edge since they are well established and have a wide supply of different forms of cannabinoids. THC isn’t the only active ingredient in marijuana; it’s just the one that gets you high. Others have pain-killing or muscle-relaxing effects.
    I’m also tired of having public lands made dangerous or out of bounds due to illegal pot growers.

    Medical use in OH is now legal but in limbo. There will be 18 grower licenses issued but they will be quite spendy – top level license for 180K /20K app fee and second tier 10% of those. And docs have to be licensed to prescribe for a qualifying condition. It’s going to be at least this time next year before anything is really in place.

    I know someone with a qualifying condition who has a custom crafted tincture of non-psychoactive CBD oil. It burns a bit sublingually – the best biovailability method but is a fine light sedative and antispasmodic. So I’m told, of course.

    @JMG: PPP polling gets things wrong too. Can’t remember which election but they were waaay off. I think it was one of the midterms. They were predicting it wasn’t going to be so bad for Dems and it was. Haven’t been following them lately. I’m of the opinion that they are sort of like the Rasmussen of the left unless they have changed since last election.

Not that I’ve done any thorough investigation of a good cross section of public environments, to be sure, but I haven’t even seen much sign of other people complaining about it. As long as they enforce the same limits as cigarettes,you should have no problem.

    @chopper: So with the legal weed, what’s the price scale? I was having this conversation the other day with a friend who deals (he’s wondering how his prices will have to change), and he’d heard that the weed coming out of CO, etc is just “OK”. But then my old college roommate went to CO and said you can pay anywhere from $6-$60/gram (that last # is insane…black market weed is only ~$20/g). I personally want to see/experience $60/gram weed to see how amazing it is/isn’t.

    one of Comey’s big problems, from what I understand, is his New York FBI office is clamoring for an investigation of the Clinton Foundation, based on hard evidence and careful scrutiny. Or not.

    the F.B.I. grappled with whether to issue subpoenas in the Clinton Foundation case, which, like the Manafort matter, was in its preliminary stages. The investigation, based in New York, had not developed much evidence and was based mostly on information that had surfaced in news stories and the book “Clinton Cash,” according to several law enforcement officials briefed on the case.

    @Origuy: a coworker is using a CBD cream for pain relief after a hip replacement replacement. No THC, so no high, but decent enough to replace oxy, and balance w/Norco.
    A fair number of friends living with cancer are using mm and vaping and report, no heat-related or code violation issues present with smoking and better dosage controlling than from edibles.
    DUI remains a heavily enforced and revenue generating thing here in CA, and it may rise with the passage of prop 64, but there’s been semi-legal usage for years, but no significant correlation in accidents as with alcohol. Here in Sacramento, there where at least 5 deadly wrong way freeway head on accidents within a year -and the gruesome skidmark/crash/fire damage on the road beds a daily reminder. All alcohol related with multiple fatalities. None involved cannabis.
    I voted yes and know it will have some downsides, but the selective prosecution, ruination of public lands by cartels, and revenue generation mitigates somewhat, and hopefully will allow some real investigation into the medical efficacy that can be peer reviewed for use that may provide benefits that can only be dreamed of or hoped for.

    @Baud: @Baud: @bystander: @JMG: @GrandJury: Okay, I just saw the segment. So this isn’t just a likely voter poll. It had two parts. The first is a survey of likely voters and the second of those who have already voted, both by mail/absentee ballot and in early voting on site (where available in Florida). So the second part is essentially an exit poll. Among the questions being asked was one on willingness to vote for Clinton for likely voters and if one had voted for Clinton of those who had already voted. They also ask for partisan identifier. The whole poll will be out tomorrow and then we’ll be able to get into the actual questions and methodology and look at the cross tabs and internals and see how much that makes sense. The College of William and Mary is part of the group that did the survey, so its not some fly by night group. And I highly doubt O’Donnell would have reported this out the way that he did had MSNBC’s own polling people, including Kornacki and his and Maddow’s producer who is a polling guy, had a good long look at it and decided this wasn’t going to make them look stupid tomorrow.

    @the Conster, la Citoyenne:

    You are so right about marijuana prohibition being used as an obvious method of control of those others, the immigrants and black folks, jazz singers and bluesmen. And all this hysteria about pain-killers and addiction.

    What are people with serious chronic agony supposed to do for relief? My doctor knows me, I’ve been his patient for 40 years, and gradually I have had more and more serious issues that slow me down, and hurt. When your surgical pain from a joint replacement is as nothing compared to the pain it relieves, you were hurting bad.

    The folks who work at the joint replacement ward in the local hospital know us by name and problems. And one of the biggest problems facing us is that there are 200-odd joints in the body. How many of them can you stand to replace surgically?? How bad will my feet hurt when those joints go bad? I really, really don’t want more joint surgery, it takes the better part of a year out of a life that looks so short now, not stretching out into the future like it did 50 years ago.

    I want to travel, without worrying that I suddenly won’t be able to bend or walk or put my coat on, pick your joint, you lose some ability when a joint fails, and it hurts so bad.

    You know all those pictures of your ancestors, where they are motionless and grim looking? Those are pictures of people with failed joints, no treatment, and no modern pain relief. If you are motionless it doesn’t hurt so bad. Yet, because somebody’s precious can’t handle an addictive substance, I’m supposed to just suffer from chronic pain? I don’t think so.

    But they keep changing the rules around the way you receive permission to use pain killers. I’m very tired of that. If you never know the rules are changing, how easy is it to be arrested for having something in your possession you thought you had every right and need to have?

    Grrrrr. I want this election to be so over!!!

    The big pot growers on national forests in California do terrible damage to the environment. They use enormous quantities of herbicides, pesticides, and rodenticides without regard for limits on their safe application or on their use in combination. Predators such as weasels, fishers, and raptors then eat the dead or sickened rodents and become contaminated by the poison. Growers also divert streams to water their crops, depriving many native plants of water.

    And if you are a backcountry hiker who stumbles upon a site run by a cartel, you do so at serious risk to your safety.

And you can get a half ounce for $65, if you find a strain you like in bulk. It’s really not much more than black-market prices — in some cases, less — and if you pay attention to what you’re buying, the quality is better.

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist: The real problem here is that despite all the reporting none of it is in agreement. Simply put: we don’t actually have any idea what’s going on within the FBI except that something is going on within the FBI. WaPo is reporting, based on sources, that all these investigations are ongoing. NY Times, based on their sources, is reporting that they’ve been closed for lack of evidence of wrongdoing. Kurth Eichenwald’s sources are just telling him that everyone at the FBI is pissed at Comey. You’ll notice no one’s sources within the Bureau are saying anything about David Corn’s reporting. This tells me that his reporting has some legs because what he’s reported is a major counterintelligence issue and because he’s reporting that significant portions of that occurred in Russia, the FBI may not have the lead. And the folks that would (do) have the lead are not going to say anything to anyone. As frustrating as it all is all we really know is that there’s one or more messes within the FBI, but we really don’t know what it or they are.

    My take on this, based on what I know of the FBI, is: I think what we’re likely seeing is one or two agents/investigators that can’t let it go. They’ve locked into the fallacy where they’ve turned their supposed explanation of what happened into their hypothesis and are working backwards rather than forwards. And they’re selectively leaking because they can’t get out of the wilderness of mirrors. And that’s where the pressure on Comey is coming from. This is separate from the twitter account behaving strangely. And its also separate from the counterintel investigations into Trump and Russia.

    The vast, vast, vast majority of these folks at the FBI, even if they identify with a partisan political viewpoint, are also professionals. And they take their oaths very, very, very seriously. And I think that’s what’s being reflected in what Eichenwald’s sources are telling him – that every one of them is simply disgusted at what has been going on over the past several days as its destroying their institution and its reputation.

One of the hallmarks of our approach is that it doesn’t matter who is President, as long as the orders are lawful, you do your job. A widespread internal coup against leadership decisions just strikes me as very uncharacteristic.

    As an aside, Malcolm Nance confirmed on O’Donnell’s show tonight (I DVRed it to watch the Series) that in his professional opinion Trump has, indeed, been coopted by Russia and that occurred within the past five years or so. So he basically confirmed Corn’s reporting from last night. I though Zach Beachamp from VOX, who looks like he’s 22 and had just said that there was no way that was the case, was going to turn green. To Beachamp’s credit he did not even try to argue with Chief Nance over this.

    @bookdragon01: on the asthma/allergy issue: I am severely allergic to pot — hemp fabric or hemp-oil lotions makes me break out in hives, I get serious reactions to second-hand smoke, and I’m pretty sure a lung-full or an edible would put me in anaphylaxis. (It did the one time I tried, as a teenager. I have never tried again. I think I was sensitized by my parents and/or aunt/uncle as a small child. My family is fairly crap.) Legalization + anti-smoking laws have saved my life and made it much easier to be out and about. I can now legally get epi-pens, and my insurance covers them. The neighbor two houses down had a grow on their back balcony. Before, I just would have never used my own balcony, because I am not okay with calling the cops over six, personal use plants. Now, I can and did call my local code enforcement, and asked them to ask my neighbors to comply with the law (which here, is that a grow must be fully contained, which the balcony isn’t.) Cops were great about it, the grow went inside and it didn’t turn into an HOA soap opera. But the best part is that other forms of consumption became many hundreds of times more common than blazing up. People like consumables and vape/atomizer a lot better than smoking in general. Joints, blunts, pipes and bongs are all messy, and smoking is stinky; it was only the common method because it was the legally safest delivery method for the dealer and the distributors. Legalization meant the market shifted really hard and fast away from the old methods that were cheap and put most of the possession risk on the purchaser instead of the vendor. Legalization has shifted that risk calculus back onto the vendor. Which makes me safer, because consumable packaging is extremely clear, the vape/atomizer method puts significantly less of whatever I react to into the air, and the tar/resin/gunk doesn’t cling to their clothes and bodies to turn into allergen fleas that piss off my immune system.

    And the other best part: I work on a university campus with a lot of student housing in close proximity. When the shit was illegal, it was transgressive and cool because it was a way of sticking it to The Man. Now it’s legal. It’s part of The Man. In two years, it’s becoming like binge drinking — sure, people do it, but it’s stupid and immature and a boring waste of time and money. Taking the transgressive edge away has done more than decades of DARE.

    @Comrade Colette Collaboratrice: I did my SF ballot last week. I asked my 15 year old daughter to fill in the line for Hill.

    I think it meant more to me, though. Teenagers…

    Pretty much all the medical users online vaporize. Either a flower vape (several have bought based on my recommendation) or a pen vape with oils. Either way keep it under the combustion point and all the carbon that would go to screwing up lungs and drapes stays plant material instead. Most prefer it to edibles because outside of say Kiva or Korova (which tend to be the pricy brands) tend to be of dubious quality. It’s real easy to make a batch of edibles with hot spots of cannabinoids and swaths of food with fairly little. And even the cheap edibles can’t really compete price wise with 5 dollar budget grams.

    @Smiling Mortician: It’s like Rick Steves said as he was campaigning for legal weed in Oregon: something to the effect of “If I want to sit and stare at my fireplace for four hours, it’s nobody’s business but my own.”

    I voted yes on 4, but admit that I probably didn’t study opinions on the details of the proposal sufficiently to be 100% sure that was a good idea. I know that some legalization regimes are better than others and the devil can be in the details. Still, I do feel that the current situation is absurd and some sort of legalization would be better.

    @Full Metal Wingnut:

    You realize that your mom loves Keanu Reeves because she thinks he’s hot and would like to fuck him, right? I mean, that’s why my mom likes the movies she likes.

    @CZanne: That is great, and it’s something I hadn’t thought of at all.

    @EBT: Kiva is fucking amazing. It’s not just that it’s good weed; the chocolate is wonderful. If they had a line of chocolate without the weed, I’d totally buy it.

    @Corner Stone:

    I have so many other vices…I have to focus.

    Like, say, participatory activities involving 3 dwarves, a burro, and a 55-gallon drum of boysenberry syrup? Axing for a fiend… :p

    @the Conster, la Citoyenne: Exactly this. I am somewhat pro-legalization, but the way we’re going about it is bullshit.
