  • Cannabis? Well, this subject interests me. I live in the UK and it is banned, so it is all black market deals, but it is crap, it is weed and i don't trust it at all, I believe it is contaminated with legal highs, of at the least just what is called skunk, a horrible 'high of high strength wipe you out'. That really is all there is in the UK these days. In the '80s it was only just hash resin, no weed at all, but even this resin was mucked around with, you'd find bits of polythene in it. You never really knew. UNLESS you went to Ansterdam where it was legal. Cafe shops. They had a menu. It was great, good stuff you could rely on. We used to go to a camping site called Camping Zeburrg and everyone was well stoned, real Cheech and Chong. That said, I have never been a big smoker, BUT, that said, at that time in my earlier life it did have some interesting perspectives which I am grateful of.

    These days? well I don't bother. There isn't the good stuff around and, well, 'I learnt' from it, which was good, but now I know that, it only would offer me a change from lager.

    BUT....if it was legalized here in the UK I would buy some and try it, knowing it would be more likely to be sound stuff, just mild, not mind-blowing. Make a change from lager.

    But, I hear about ganga being legalized more and more. I suppose it is really to guarantee the quality, for health reasons. So what is it like in say the US in a state with has legalized it. Is it a shop and/or a 'cafe'? Is there a menu? Do you have choice of hash and weed and different strengths? And how it it going down in society?

    Here in the UK it is legal to have seeds but not to grow them, though you can buy hydroponic set ups for folks to break the law to grow their own.

    So, what is the score in a state which has legalized dope, can you buy it cash? How, a shop? Anonymous? Is it better stuff? Is it better in terms of the larger society? Do more people smoke? What's the score?Is it backstreet or open mall?

  • You can't swing a dead cat in Oregon without hitting a dispensary. On the way to the grocery today I saw a sign out at a dispensary by the road that advertised $49 oz's...... Medical marijuana, basically a couple hundred $/yr fee and a phone consult with a doc to tell them that you have a bad back etc., has been legal here for years and recreational for the last 4/5 I think.

  • Legalization definitely changes everything about access and quality. In US legal states, dispensaries feel like normal stores, not shady backrooms, and lab testing kills the contamination worry. For everyday wellness, I’ve found CBG oil from https://joyorganics.com/pages/cbg-oil-benefits-uses-amp-how-to-choose genuinely helpful for stress and focus, and it arrives discreetly without any hassle. That kind of reliable, regulated experience is exactly what legal markets bring compared to the black market.
