When I was last in Denver I couldn’t leave the hotel without smelling weed. Why bother  with commercial spots?

I hear ya, but I think there should be options to smoke indoors
Technically it's not legal to just smoke in public and I'm sure parents/schools/Mormons would rather not have the only place be in the public square

pretty sure CO laws are similar to those here in WA: you essentially need to smoke in private.  currently there are no "weed bars" or other commercial establishments where you can light up, and you can be fined for blazing in public.  that leaves your couch and your backyard as viable locations (and i believe your neighbors can complain about the smell in certain situations…)

Interesting article on the downside to legalize it on a mass scale.

Mexico.  Wow.  Didn't see that coming, or ever happening.

dang, I had heard this Several staffers were informally told by transition officials that some past marijuana use would be overlooked,

but this is what actually happened :(
only to be told later that they were being asked to resign.

Regardless of legal changes at the state level, its still a matter of federal personnel policy.

My company makes that painfully clear on the reg. Not sure why they feel they have to.

New York is the next to fall in line. Up to 6 plants at home, too.

I'm really bitter about how VA delt with this
Home grow is really the smart way to do this.  cuts out all the crime issues, although no way to tax it
I think you should have to get a grow license, yes most won't, but there are a lot of people who would

So is it time to start a thread where someone says a word and hutch finds the appropriate Neil song to go with that

I am not well versed enough to do that!


Neil has hundreds of songs I haven’t heard!


But Homegrown is well known…

The Mountain Goats have a flowchart for exactly this purpose:

I am going to go completely off topic here in this thread even though the topic of Neil Young was being talked about and this is about Neil Young.

When Neil Young so slyly responded back to a heckler at a live show who yelled "it all sounds the same" . . . with "it's all the same song," everything I knew about Neil Young and so many other bands, changed.

yeah been hearing about this…very excited
Northam proposed legalizing simple possession of up to one ounce of marijuana by July 1, 2021, instead of waiting until July 1, 2024
I like the focus on expungement of past crimes automatically (I think some states had this really complicated process that you had to apply for)

no grow, but full legalization would make Peter Tosh proud

But this is not a done deal…and I think today is the deadline
Is it as simple as the swipe of the Gov's pen?

Uh, they're calling for up to four plants per person but they must be "out of sight" (i.e. inside, restricting the ability of poor people to grow).

The deadline is NOT today. The House of Delegates and Senate can act on these Governor-proposed amendments on 4/7 (the next day they are in session). The proposed amendments are basically what the State Senate passed already and this will again. The HoD has indicated they have the votes to do this as well.

My neighbor is a certain State Senator from Alexandria who smokes out with my wife whenever he's at his Richmond residence and he's been the leading champion of this in the Senate. You all can figure out who that is from the context clues.

Good stuff today J..


Everyone else up your game
