I dont see the big deal anyway, for all the difference it makes, i could pick up a draw literally around the corner from where i'm sitting, as easy as if it was from a shop...i can walk down the street smoking it, it might as well be legal.

Yeah but can you walk into a shop with about 100 different varieties to choose from for a fraction of the price?

For people with a corporate job and family it makes a big difference in that the person does not need to find a dealer anymore and face the stigma of getting hassled by the police if caught. You have to understand that the laws here in the U.S. vary greatly regarding the legality of ganja depending on the State laws. In some States it is tolerated with only a ticket small fine if caught with under an ounce while in others you can do jail time for possession of even a small amount.

And as Dazey pointed out in Colorado you can now go into a shop and have a choice of many different types of Ganja. The quality is controlled and you know what you are getting.........can't comment on the cost as I have no idea what a gram or ounce of good quality costs these days........

You guys are so lucky ! i got fibromyalgia and some kinds of weed really help me with the pain, but all i can get is cheap shit without even choosing the strain.

I want legalization for portugal!

I thought it was basically legal in Portugal no?......if not I would expect that to be one of the first to consider it.......... :shrugs:

CR, surely people should continue to pay exotortionate fees for cannabis? After all, you support people being financially exploited by the music industry. :shrugs:

Stay on topic mate...if your still butt hurt over the illegal downloading discussion go revive that thread and whine about me there.................

Back on topic I have no idea what a fair price is for ganja but I am guessing it should become cheaper once it is legal and there is more competion amoungst growers..........

We don't have stores in Washington yet, it is legal to possess right now but it's known as having "magical weed." You cant get it legally anywhere but it's still legal. The initiative is being implemented by our state liquor control board, and considering we just privatized the sale of alcohol about a year ago, Im amazed it's moving along as well as it is.

I'd expect stores to be open around May, and prices are expected to be $9-12 per gram (current.medicinal prices), though since we're Washington.and.we suck, it will be taxed horribly.

It's not about the price. It is about gaining acceptance in society.

It doesn't matter if Colorado or Oregon legalize it, the end of federal level drug busts has to end. There's a lot of businesses and investors that want to be involved, but as long as the DEA can shut down dispensaries and burn down crops,they can't take that chance.

I think it's going to come down to a subcommittee decision and having the president and Congress sign off on it. To me, this is about empowering county, city and state by getting the Feds out of it, and this is an ongoing issue in California. If they can have it legal to where dispensaries aren't raided anymore, then you'll see it becoming legal in other states.

I think over time the cost of pot will go down, but one thing at a time. Dispensaries have to be around for a while, compete, and see who survives first.

Isn't Colorado's big export Coors?

Cool story bro, if I distill my own whiskey I can sell it for less than a liquor store, if I make a batch of home brew I can sell it for cheaper than beer.

It's like arnold said, it isn't about the price, it's about being the first place to pull their heads out of their ass.

well we have a bit of a stupid law on drugs, i mean it works but it's stupid. Possession of any kind of drug ins't a crime (unless you have more than a specific amount) but you can't plant, produce or buy from anyone anywhere. This is a law that clearly helps the drug dealers.

So although i can get weed somewhat easily . I don't have a choice about the strain or whatever. And there aren't many potheads who go around selling medical mj

Probably a stupid question, but how does drug testing work now? If it's legal for recreational use, I'm assuming it's allowed to pop up in a drug test now, no?

50 for 3.5g and 100 for a Q where I'm from. An ounce is around 320 unless it's leafy and shitty.

Smoking regularly gets pretty expensive.

Good question though. If it's weed and it's legal, I don't think people would care. I know I wouldn't.
