Yeah, this is definitely the case. Some swear its overrated, some think its the greatest thing in the world.
All it does for me is give me a bit of clarity when learning, helps my overactive mind slow a bit and focus, which has always been an issue for me.
The only issues I have had was with some sativa that caused me to get slightly paranoid, found out how to fix that.

I can think of 100’s of “legal” things that are worse than using THC. Smoking, drinking, texting while driving, driving w/o texting, overeating (cue Stacy Abrahamson” and “Gerry the human gonad Nader”.
I can’t think of one thing wrong with a 70 old buying medical THC in Louisiana for anxiety and PTSD. Except the price in Louisiana is ridiculously high in order to fund all the state corruption. I’ve replace all my big pharma pills except 2 with THC. End of story.
Soon I’ll be traveling to Arkansas to buy it cheaper.
I’m that person, a conservative, concealed carry, Baptist, physically fit, police supporting, former VP of a 1bn$ chemical company. Bottom line, I enjoy the health benefits of a legal supplement now and don’t give 2 shits what anyone else says.
The only downside is if the folks at church find out, I’ll be stoned to death!

I've been smoking weed on and off since 1977. I remember when the price of a lid quadrupled from $30 to $120 in 1981 when Reagan re-declared Nixon's War on Drugs. Not only had the price of weed gone up, but I couldn't even buy bongs at Peaches anymore. As the 80s wore on, I was told that Republicans were the party of liberty, and less government intrusion.
Dude, I was born in 1988. I don't care about your weed struggles in the 70s/80s

So when you say smell a rat when I see this hypocrisy, I'd say the Republican party is FULL of rats. I've never known any Republicans who smoked weed until quite recently. This is the main reason I could never get on board with the Republicans
Again, I don't care who you're "on board" with or not. I'm not a Republican. I'm an issue by issue kinda guy. To me, this should be a bipartisan slam dunk in 2023, regardless of Overton window shifting in previous decades.

They'll use too.
Most people want stuff illegal because they're terrified that they'll enjoy it.

Early adopter. As more states legalize, you'll see far less movement among users.
Same would have been said about the tranny movement sticking to the "early adopting" states, but now it's being fought in every state. Slippery slope is a biatch.
The young stoner population will grow and eventually society won't be the same. Grown adults smoking on occasion is different than teens smoking up everyday while their parents have no clue, as it's not like they are drunk. This isn't a positive for society, no matter how it's being sold. And there's no proof at all in any society that has done it, that it will be.
All my friends that went the stoner route have a different sense of reality, so of course the argument goes down the road it has. Nothing to do with rights, as a society needs to have guardrails to maintain civility, and doing this has not proven positive.
I guess I'm glad to see so many parents in here will be proud of getting high with their children. Just don't complain if/when they decide to take it to the next level. Just like I told a concerned dem friend of mine who's young kid is questioning his sexualization...well can't back track now after supporting it for others, so freely in front of him, just because you now have to imagine your son will be sucking a dude off one day (didn't say it so crudely but he got the point)

Apples to Llamas.
Weeds been legal here forever, no influx of stoners. People no longer have to move to find legal weed, in many parts of the country.

You just have to let people die who want to die. Nannyism is progressivism, not conservativism.
Posted on 2/6/23 at 1:10 pm to Bass Tiger
I know plenty of libs that don't use it.
I know plenty of conservatives (self-included) who do use it occasionally.
It's not a left vs. right issue.

First time or to she got a funny look but my wife usually takes a bit before going into Church on Sundays, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sit that long in pain. Folks know now that it is for medicinal purposes and the strain doesn't leave her stoned. Honestly, if a person hadn't see her use it, you wouldn't even know she had used it.

That and, I believe, having cannabis and firearms is still a felony charge.

I used to think this, but from what I've seen it just makes them feel more comfortable before and less remorseful after the fact.

But it wasn't legal and people knew they had to grow out of it. We are living in a different time where society is going down hill fast so adding accepted vices won't be controlled as well as it was.
Your early adopters theory is just a theory. There is proof of where things will go on the west coast and CO. That's not theory but proof.
I couldn't care less if people smoke, as I do from time to time and did God* only knows how much drugs when I was in college, but the legalization/normalization of vices is not a positive for society no matter what it is. And it shows when there are a bunch of grown men that have grown out of the smoke addiction, just like pathic alcoholics that think it still cool to get hammered.
*To note...I thank Him daily for getting me thru those yrs unscathed, and only He could have done that.

Context, man, context. It was to show I had direct personal experience with Republicans being hypocrites regarding less government intrusion, and by and large were opposed to legalization, and drank. I was trying to provide an example, and directly responding to your statement:

I never said you were. You told me to smell a rat, I simply told you that I smelled them all over the Republican party, and that's why I didn't join.

You realize teens are smoking it now? Teens also drink under 21. What does legalizing it have to do with that?

Where is there a "gotcha" anywhere in "this board is polarized"? I mean, simply you suspecting me of some kind of gotcha shows that you think I have some kind of an agenda.
If I do have an agenda here, it's simply to make fun of the ideologues and racists on the board.
Otherwise I'm interested in takes from some of the more moderate posters, such as yourself.

You are WEDDED to party stuff
I don't care which party you joined or didn't join. I'm no GOP fanboy. Rats among the Dems right now, too (hence their little midterm stunt RE: weed "pardons" that helped exactly zero people ). You wanna trade party smack, you're gonna have to find someone other than myself to scratch that itch of yours. I don't care. Both parties continue to make what should be an EASY bipartisan W into another needless political football. quote:

Yawn. It's offseason, bruh. Try the aggie smack later in the year, and I might play along
