idiot's have rights too!

For sure risk and yes anything other than clean ole air is not good for your lungs
I'm never going to argue that

What about all that stuff they burn on stage at a Heilung concert, that's going to shorten your life span
but you'll still go, accepting the risk

But this is why you are 50 and still get carded ;)

Hard to say the blackmarket vapes will recover
What exactly constitutes "blackmarket" vapes? The big brands you see – Kingpen, SmartCarts, Bape Vapes, etc – are these blackmarket? (I understand there are probably knockoffs of "name" brands, but a legit Kingpen cartridge, is that blackmarket?)

"black market" = folks making their own vape cartridges in their kitchens.  they buy empty cartridges in bulk, fill them with home-made or bought liquid THC (often imported from china), sometimes add adulterants and dilutants, and sell their product out the back of their car/on a street corner, or, more likely, online via existing online marketplaces like etsy, ebay, etc.  they are not a legit business, or even attempting to be.  it's literally home-made vapes.

Kingpen is a legit company, so their actual products are not black market.  the complication arises from fakes - above-mentioned cartridge-packers can easily copy the packing from legit brands and sell them to unsuspecting consumers.

Breaking: MORE Act just passed House Judiciary! All Dems & 2 Reps voted for it. It would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act and create a new office tasked w/ providing restorative justice 2 communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition. Big deal!


will get a floor vote and pass….then will thud on Mitch's desk



it is crazy to think what would have happened if one rep had entered a bill like this 20 years ago
The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act of 2019 passed by a count of 24-10.
Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the committee, introduced the bill and has gathered over 50 cosponsors of the bill in the House
seriously congress…the voters in 2015 said weed should be recreational in DC…stop preventing it

Congress will continue to prohibit D.C. from passing any bill legalizing or regulating  marijuana sales as a part of the federal spending bill


although in good news apperntly today dec 11th… Virginia is having had a Cannibals Summit
The topic of discussion: how and when the Commonwealth could start loosening its strict marijuana laws
as my spirit animal once said "elections have consequences"  thank you VA voters for flipping the legislature

you go VA Dems…..
Virginia moves toward marijuana decriminalization

and
House Democrats vote to remove Virginia's photo ID requirement for voting

and
Va. House passes bill that would award electoral votes to popular vote winner
Also, from what I am hearing, full legalization in 2021.

Yeah, that's what my industry's legislative rep is saying too. Stopgap year while they work out what legalization looks like.

hmmm…back in my day I used to just call him my dealer
Haha, no our lobbyist.

The great "Minimum Wage to $15" movement is hitting problems in the Senate. Probably still getting to $15 but only like $9.50 this summer and a 8-ish year increase schedule. One of the less aggressive minimum wage bills entered.
makes sense as Covid-19 is a pulmonary disease

Sounds like the biggest issue is you are making it more difficult to diagnose if you need a test
and you are putting your lungs in worse shape, thus more likely to have issues if you do get infected

"It's common sense that anything you inhale that has been combusted and contains particles or chemicals can inflame your airways," he said. "So you're already making your body fight off foreign particles before it even has to fight off the infection.


Guess I should transition to edibles

evidently, people who sell the stuff, are not sure sure what to do.  They have major surpluses, due to no one wants to go anyone to buy any.

called supply and demand…especially since product is persible, shoud be good for the consumer
Likely if it doesn't move will be turned into concentrate, which I think has a much longer shelf life (but not really sure)
There is a line everyday outside the two dispensaries I pass on my daily walk.  They both require a pre-order and appointment for pickup too….
