DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Ohio sets November vote on legalizing marijuana

This bill, as written, needs to fail, actually.

It is setting up a legalized monopoly of 10 producers for ALL sales, growth (even for 'home use'), etc... even so-called medical marijuana would have to be procured through those 10 monopolies.

This is a bad deal.

Pretty much, someone needs to get an open, unbiased version of this on the ballot.

I have several clients that want drug testing done even for Temps. And each and every one of them has said they are keeping the no drugs policy intact.

And yeah, many companies don't want to hire you if you smoke or chew. IT raises health insurance rates.

I haven't read enough about it to know, but from some of the stuff I've read that seems to be true.

On the other hand, if the people are given a choice of what they want, but the behind the scenes stuff is shitty, and you can't have what you want, I'm pretty sure I know what most will choose.

Party at Ytowns. This surgery should be fun.

I have Diet Pepsi, bottled water, and milk.

We're gonna party like it's 1999.

Gonna Party like it's 1761.

Thats OK remember I am showing up drunk

How many producers do we really need, though? I don't see 10 as being a problem.

Is the provision that someone over 21 can grow a certain amount still in there?

The Ohio amendment would designate 10 locations for the growing of marijuana and make it legal for people 21 or older to use and possess up to one ounce (28 grams) of the drug and grow up to four marijuana plants for personal use.

So between my wife and I thats 8 plants. Gonna have to look into how much hashish that'll make. According to the article Clem posted (don't remember if this thread or another) that's what helped the boy in that article.

Anyone know of a good hashish recipe?

I know its for the Boy but if I had just signed in for the first time in years and read this I would have thought the world had ended.

That's puzzling in itself in that 1 indoor plant should, being on the extremely stingy side, generate at least 1 ounce. AT LEAST. Some, up to 12oz to 1 pound(16 oz) or more. Outdoors, 1 pound would be the norm and up to 2-3 and even 5 pounds under optimal, California Humboldt County conditions.

But anyway, stingily speaking, 4 plants that produce say, 1.5 ounces each would be 6 ounces total. But you're only allowed to possess 1 ounce?

Now, if your plants produce 6 ounces on average, you'll end up with 24 ounces, or 1.5 pounds. But, you're only allowed to possess 1 ounce?

It's not the number that we need, it's the freedom in the market for anyone to become a startup if they choose to do so, or for us to be able to get it from out of state producers, etc...

This bill would make it illegal for anyone but one of those 10 (who wrote the bill) to sell/distribute in the State of Ohio.

Correct.... in other words, the law is written to - on paper - make it legal to grow your own, BUT it also makes growing your own completely unfeasible. It pretty much mandates that if you are a regular user, you WILL buy from one of the 10 producers that wrote the bill.

Probably an error. You can purchase up to 28 grams at a time I imagine. Plants will yield more than that, 4 plants should yield about a pound + as far as I know.

bro we get to grow our own bud?

yea, i'm voting yes. it doesn't matter if they got a "monopoly", i'll have my own bud.

straight from AFGHANISTAN.

CHS, Afghan Haze, Afghan Kush, OG Kush, White Widow.

man, i feel like captain planet. The power is yours!!

I grew some Afghan bud back in the day. It had really fat leaves compared to the other stuff.

even if you don't smoke..it's REALLY hard to argue against this right now. schools being built and funded? less crime?

and tax revenue? you mean the sky isn't falling like so many politicians and some people have claimed?

New Schools, Less Crime: Colorado Sees Benefits Of Marijuana Legalization


http://www.mintpressnews.com/new-schools...ization/208751/

DENVER — Colorado’s successful experiment in marijuana legalization is bringing in millions of dollars of revenue per month while simultaneously benefiting schools and contributing to a drop in crime rates.

Colorado reached over $50 million dollars in recreational cannabis sales in June, breaking the state’s previous record, according to Ricardo Baca, a staff writer for Denver Post’s The Cannabist. In addition, medical sales reached $25 million.

Based on the state’s various taxes on marijuana sales, Baca reports that the state has earned over $60 million dollars in marijuana tax revenue so far this year.

Along with legalization, Colorado voters approved a 15 percent excise tax on wholesale marijuana sales that is only to be used for school construction. According to another recent report from Baca, Colorado schools have earned $13.6 million in just the first five months of 2015, a sharp increase over 2014, when the tax generated a total of $13.3 million for the whole year. Putting that figure in perspective, Baca quoted a local Colorado school superintendent, who said that $40 million would fund the construction of “two well-equipped elementary schools, or one well-equipped middle school with an athletic field.”

Tax revenues for Colorado schools and infrastructure are not the only benefit of legalization for the state. A study released in January by the Drug Policy Alliance showed that legalization has led to a decrease in crime. In January, Laura McCauley, a staff writer for Common Dreams, summarized the study’s findings:

“According to statistics compiled by the DPA, in the first 11 months of 2014, the rate of violent crime fell 2.2 percent compared with the same period in 2013. In the same time frame, burglaries in Colorado’s capital, Denver, decreased by 9.5 percent and overall property crime decreased by 8.9 percent.

Further, arrests for marijuana possession have continually dropped since 2010 and are now down roughly 84 percent.”

I once grew a Hickory tree and smoked a turkey.
Does that make me cool too?

so thats what we name strains now huh? "hickory tree". got it.

bwahahahahahahahahahaha.

lmao i'm done. man, people really believed that back in the day?

Yea Yea, It's all fun and games until one day
the Coppers nab you on the mooch!

trust me, if you smoked something, and it gave you the urge to kill, it wasn't weed you smoked.

Damn, son.... how did you find rolling papers that big?

Did you raid 4 pristine vintage copies of Cheech & Chong's 'Big Bambu?'

Well at least now I know why they call it Dope.

typically dope is described for harder drugs like heroine.

people uneducated on the culture just call weed dope. it's not accurate.

Have you been smoking? I don't know WTF you're talking about.

You wouldn't be the first. Mmmmmmm Turkey.

I'm smoking a brisket this weekend for our fantasy football draft:

Do it right. Brisket is terrible if cooked wrong, it is awesome if cooked right.

"Low & slow." That's the key.
Hours of cooking... instead of minutes.

I once smoked a salmon. Under-done.

Got higher than a MF... but couldn't get that 'fishy taste' out of my mouth for 2+ weeks!


You're right, Arch: there's no substitute for proper curing....

Not worth it, son-

How do you keep it lit

See! Proof that it stays in your system long after you smoke it!

Mmmmmm Turkey.
Mmmmmm Brisket.
Mmmmmm Salmon.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Doritos!

Reading this thread reminds me of what being high felt like. I'm sure this stuff would've been funny back then. Now, not so much.
