Crazy Christie "Enjoy weed while it's legal. When I'm elected...."

Checking the mirrors & signaling every move, as well. Their biggest problem is leaving enough following distance so that jerks can cut in front of them.



Pleasurable levels of cannabis intoxication entail a lot less impairment than similarly pleasurable levels of alcohol intoxication. Unlike alcohol, cannabis is not a central nervous system depressant.

While true in general it's amazing how various strains effect people differently. I can't stand the heady high of many varieties instead favoring the body and muscle relaxation that low THC high CBD strains allow for. I can't think of another intoxicant than a super stony high THC strain that would negatively impair my motor skills and mental acuity and lucidity.

In college I could drink nearly anyone under the table but two or three stiff bong tokes of some good stuff would glue my ass to the couch and leave me stupid. Never enjoyed that feeling.

Fortunately this plant is legal here in WA and strains featuring all sorts of characteristics are available from knowledgeable and legal sources.

High CBD extracts that are virtually THC free have been a god send for many people with intractable chronic pain including myself. And they aren't addictive or impairing like the traditional pharmaceutical products often prescribed for chronic pain.

With all due respect, do you know what Indicas and Sativas are?

,.... .

urban myth imo

Not really, there are very real differences between the two. The key is obtaining pure strains of each. If one was able to I'm very confident noticeable differences would be observed after the consumption of each.

Generally speaking Indicas produce more of a body high or muscle relaxation while Sativas produce a heady high.

Nothing strange at all, nearly any intoxicating substance leads to tolerance and thus the user requires more to achieve the same effect.

Sucksbadman.

Kinda-sorta, but not like alcohol or opiates. It's more like learning to ride a bicycle. Once you get past the wobblies, the better you get at it, the faster you want to go to achieve the same enjoyment, at least for some people.

In other respects, it's more a matter of tuning in to it. First timers have a tendency to get very high before they even notice it. It's like hidden 3D images- hard to pick out at first, but once you see it, you'll always see it.

Granted he should not have invoked unnecessary and gratuitous assertion of power, but folks in this thread seem oblivious of their sovereign power and duty. Controlled Substance Act is a validly enacted law as much as state law permitting private use of marijuana. Furthermore, when push comes to shove, the former reigns supreme over the latter.

What should happen is amendment to the Controlled Substance Act. Otherwise, executives will have always have a prosecutorial discretion.

Time for marijuana to be made legal at a federal level. This is beyond stupid.

I agree,mainly because we have people that think like Christie who feel the evils of cannabis justifies raiding our federal budget money for the this relatively benign problem instead of either just spending less money or attack much more serious problems.

That said the few friends of mine who occasionally smoke pot do so to relax after work in their own home and then go to bed. The only person I knew till I graduated high school was in his 70's and smoked cannabis to treat his glaucoma again in the privacy of his own home. When my dad and I would go visit him (He, like my father and I were ham radio operators) my dad would make sure Paul knew it was just us, less he waste a joint. They were of the agreement that I should never try the stuff which I knew where it grew wide because it was illegal and I was a teenager and not an old man, like them, who had smoked it before it was illegal. I took that as sage advise and never did and hope I never have to for some malady but I won't have to smoke it.

Nobody in my high school, took that stuff, five years laternobody didn't! I think the worst thing about pot is like cigarettes, what it does to the smokers lungs while there are medical conditions that the benefits of cannabis override the risks, it is just another vice like alcohol and tobacco. I've never seen a scientific test but I believer and that marijuana and cocaine (as originally used) are not as addictive as sugar.

Now if Christie comes out with a tirade on Americas addiction to sugar and the use of the addition to sell everything from French fries to canned ravioli and spaghetti, then maybe I consider him a viable candidate.

It's not like alcohol though. The exposure it takes to build a tolerance to alcohol is like 100x's that of pot.

I actually think the tolerance is useful. If you aren't smoking grams of it a day, a little bit can still go a long way with a tolerance, but the tolerance allows you to feel more comfortable and relaxed (body or head or both) rather than just being stoned out of your head.

A lot of people who have told me they've tried it once or twice and don't like it basically describe their "super" highness as what they didn't like, and it's hard to explain that if they just try it a few times more and develop a bit of a tolerance, they'll probably like it much better.

Basically, people end up liking beer and wine and liquor because they're exposed to it so often that even if they just do it socially here and there, they develop a taste and get the feel of alcohol.

Not just that, but cannabis isn't an intoxicant. It will inebriate you, but you aren't going to die from an overdose.

And my favorite thing about cannabis inebriation is that you can get super ultra mega high, and 3 hours later you're 100% sober and ready to rock, unlike alcohol, where you get smashed and for the next 7-8 hours you're in either increasing or decreasing stages of intoxication.

Alcohol is pretty much a shit-tier drug in my opinion, but it's widely available and relatively cheap, and I partake now and again, although I've learned not to post here when I have. Or to post less, at least.

Cannabis is not only not dangerous, but is a medicine as much as just about any herb out there. If you want to talk about government healthcare policy failure, I'd first point out the fact that cannabis, a very safe medicine, is banned.

Otherwise, the awesome thing about legal cannabis is that you can find whichever kind suits you best by asking an expert and actually getting something specific. Some people like the body high, and other people like the head high. To be able to try both kinds, find the type you like, and continue is the good way to do it. Just buying shit from someone and hoping for the best is stupid.

This. I'd recommend that people trying it for the first time use a vaporizer and go slow. ID the high and let it sit for a bit, and add more after a few to see how it works for you.

Well he just ended his candidacy. Unless he can get enough law enforcement profit centers to make a big enough voting block.

This. He sure as hell won't get Colorado's vote.
