    If it becomes legal ... the bottom will drop out of the market. And the legality will be smoking it and growing it for personal use ... not selling it.
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    Oregon has since legalisation made a massive amount of money off of the tax generated - for that and no other reason I think it should be legalised. It would not affect my consumption one iota, but for people that are into it, it generates a nett benefit for society due to the tax revenues.

    jsut curious.
    that's neither philosophical, nor a conundrum.

    since most people currently trade -legal tender- for grass, as is, it's still spinning the wheels of jewmoney.

    should cultivation be legalised, anyone interested in growing enough that they need staff (ferchrissakes) is probably a farmer and thus will do what farmers do: whinge benefits off the government when it's too hot, or wet, or the cows are a bit sad..

    I know it's true. She-who-won't-be- mentioned says so.
    Tell her from me you "have made a difference". Practicing all those basics every time I go for a ride, like emergency braking, until it becomes second nature have saved my a?*se more than once. Works well on gravel too!! Chrs.

    No, they're born "special". Something to do with royal jelly.

    Do you not have a family ... ??? I work 7 day shifts and 7 days off (PAID). It works (excuse the pun) for me.

    Spending more time with the family makes the biggest difference ... regardless of having a smaller budget.
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
