In your state how much is medical or recreation marijuana?

Ha-ha milf & cookies.

Yes disneysteve it was 1 square shaped brownie (or maybe cookie), which I tried to cut into 15 pieces.

That packaging is sketchy looking. I also can't believe 300mg was that cheap.

That would be nearly impossible to cut up properly. Mine was hard enough to cut up in 5 prices at 10mg each.

And you rightfully should have cut it into 30 pieces which was likely impossible to actually do.

Correct and impossible to cut into 30 pieces with crumbs falling apart. Trying to make 15 equal size portions was tough enough already.

You could be right but this was in 2016 January when it was first legalized so my memory may not be serving me right.

I know that mine is often an unpopular opinion, but I personally don't like that marijuana is becoming legalized & so popular. Really, just not a fan of using recreational mind-altering drugs, from caffeine/alcohol/tobacco to marijuana/ecstacy/narcotic pain pills to heroine and cocaine.

Although alcohol & tobacco are little better, they at least are better understood, more closely regulated for use & potency (as QMM found out the hard way), and overuse/misuse is more readily recognized & addressed.

These drugs are not as harmless as popular sentiments would have anyone believe. Even if you aren't a clear & present danger to yourself & others while under their influence, their use & misuse destroy families, relationships, health, productivity, mental health, and so on. And the more readily available they are, the higher the chance that they will be misused. (Sounds kinda like a gun argument as well, but that correlation night might make people uncomfortable....)

I've lived in places where recreational marijuana is legal (AK, OR, CO), illegal (OK, Japan, FL, ID), and it's only been a problem regardless.

Again, i know my opinion is unpopular, and I'll respect your disagreement (don't expect me to engage further on it though)... It's one of those agree to disagree issues for me.

You're not the only one who dislikes this trend Kork.

Definitely not alone on that.

in our state here in Australia it is still illegal

Steve is a general practitioner physician, why would you think that he would know the manufacturing process for thc products?

Of course different part of brownies could have more thc than the other. We just purchased a bag of sour patch kids and it was crazy sour. The last bag wasn't that bad. Same applies for edible products. They're not perfect. One batch could be off. Again, it's a good idea to start small. Or don't take them at all.

Because you don't have to be a physician to come to that realization. However, it could also be possible that manufacturing processes are much different when it comes to thc products in comparison to candy.

If people knew the history of cannabis and why it became illegal, most would have a different opinion on it. I won't go into detail, that info is easy enough to find.

Just remember, cannabis is just as bad as heroin, according to our lovely government. In the eyes of the law, there is no different. Both are schedule 1, lol. Which is why it's difficult to study. You're not allowed to.

In reality though, we probably would be better off without cannabis, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. But that's not going to happen.

I have mixed opinions on marijuana. First. let me state i have never smoked it or tried it any form not even one time in my life. I do believe it is probably no worse than alcohol. I also think if adults want to medicate themselves in their own homes or wherever as long as they aren't driving or a public nuisance then fine. However, it does concern me that there is no way to test for acute intoxication like there is for alcohol. I find that to be problematic. Also, what is the benefit to Society? Do we need more stoned, impaired people? On the other hand alcohol and drugs in a way act as a way to decompress society as people can deal with stress, anxiety or party with friends. Also, medical mj is good for pain, insomnia, etc. However, I am very concerned about edibles getting into the hands of kids. And, also that with legality it becomes far easier for kids, teens, etc to obtain and it will alter their brains at a young age. MJ is also a demotivator. We all knew who the "pot heads" were. They weren't the most motivated individuals. Not saying that adults can't use it recreationally and not ruin their lives but we have seen plenty of lives ruined by alcohol so adding another substance into the mix may complicate that.

It would be interesting to see the ages of those who are against and those are are for cannabis.

The propaganda was epic back in the day. That has stuck for decades and decades. JUST SAY NO!

"In your state how much how much is medical grade or recreation marijuana?"

That's like asking how much does alcohol cost. Are you talking about a can of hard seltzer, or a fine, aged whiskey. It's not all the same, and the content isn't the same.

Generally you're looking at around $40 per eighth ounce before taxes, or about 3.5-4.0 grams of flower/dried bud, which nicely fills a small jar for spices, or a credit-card sized plastic bag. The price is over/under depending on the quality, maybe up to 60-ish. "Good stuff" is mature bud, very fragrant, not dried out, free of excess stem or trimmings. THC content varies with strain/breed, and the breed indicates the flavor, aroma, and associated general type of effects.

The key with trying marijuana for the first time is DO NOT DO IT ALONE. Have someone experienced with you, who can keep track of your intake and rationalize the effects you are feeling. None of this is any different than if you were to try alcohol for the first time. The biggest mistake is the user thinks it's not working, so they ingest more. Edibles are the absolute worst thing you can use on your first time. The onset of the high is much delayed and highly variable, compared to smoking or vaporizing it, which is almost instant.
