    Some days the weather is my biggest worry.

    Attached are a few images of my workplace.
    whether it becomes legal or not does your work not have guidelines to what is acceptable at work?

    There are existing RULES ... as there are in most workplaces. No changes in any workplace rules ... ANYWHERE ... will be made if the drug legislation changes. At this stage ... any changes are only proposed.

    But could you be certain those workplace rules would never be broken ... in ANY workplace .. if the drug laws were relaxed ???

    Apparently ... if there is no law to say "You can't" ... then ... yes you can.

    I'm sure there will be wording in any legislation changes to cover this scenario. Maybe ...

    Yep, they were fucking awful! Several linked deaths to that shit as well. If weed is more available and stamps that shit out altogether, then that is probably a society win.

    If the vote passes, any cannabis sold through a licensed supplier won't be 'laced' with anything.

    And by the way, over the past 40 years I've never been given cannabis that's been 'laced' with anything.

    According to Katman apparently you can't blame the drug - only blame the user for lack of self control.

    That was in reference to natural marijuana though, not a concoction of drugs put together in someones kitchen.

    I did not consider it was so specific?

    Much of the difference in taste quality between commercially grown tomatoes and ones from the back garden is due to most commercial tomatoes being grown hydroponically.

    In hydroponics one of the major production costs is in supplying the plants with fertilizer inputs (as salts in the hydroponic solution), so cheaper tomatoes have less of these inputs and more water. The salts are what impart sugars and acids in the tomato fruit and gives them their taste. So cheap hydroponic tomatoes = tasteless tomatoes.

    Minimal care and even less love... I reckon the tomatoes are just sad.

    I may well test that if I ever get the garden up and running again. I don't like tomatoes, but I reckon the missus will happily tomato test. Anyhoo, pretty much anything that contains tomatoes contains so many other bloody flavours that most pallets wouldn't notice the lack of tomato flavour unless they were critiquing food. Do the tomatoes still produce similar "benefits" (vits/mins etc...)?
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    I'm not sure about that.

    In pasta sauces, tomato and the acid therein are what combine everything. You'd need to replace them with something else for it to work, and I bet a million dollars that everyone would taste the lemon or whatever else you could use.

    Same with salsa and the like.

    At the most basic level, tomato is even important in a 'dagwood' sammich.
