The lawmakers will be politically pressured to do something. An all out ban will never happen, but they will be forced to put something out there that they can point at as addressing the "problem". The 2nd ammendment, self-protection, sporting, etc, will not be able to head off the mandate to do...

Strange Days had a lot of the scenes you described

Ok, so back on track. Until the tax revenues start getting collected from growers and dispenseries, all of this new legislation is costing CO/WA money. Lots of money. The CO Gov's task force assigned to implement ammend 64 is due to report back with a plan by late February. I would expect that...

Our Gov signed ammendment 64 into law today, so recreational use and possession of up to 1 oz is legal. They expect to have recreational sales start next fall. Opponents hope it will take longer, but a lot of people are expecting a gradual roll out of sales so that they can get to tax revenues...

This is a helpful post. Could you give the source for this or is it commonly available? (Book, magazine, study, etc)

I smoked from 1970-78, and never had Acapulco Gold or Panama Red. But, on the second page of the OP's post, 3rd row down, far right, is Columbian Chiba. It was in our area (NE) in 1973 for about 3-4 weeks and was the stuff of legend. Actually, for some reason it was called Sheeba-Sheeba, but we...

I'll be growing outside. Back in the day, we were worried more about seeds and stems versus "leaf". The thought of buds just was a rumor. Your comment about harvesting earlier sounds interesting. Are all of the leaves except those near the buds useless? If the leaves are still usable, I could...

We get to do things semi-legally here soon, so I'm trying to find out varieties to grow. I hadn't smoked any pot for about 35 years, and I must admit that I found the generally available stuff to be way too strong. I repeat, waaaaaay too strong. It seems like when pot prohibition ends, all we'll...

I'm north of Denver. I have to believe that the Feds are focused on the big $ smuggling and related crime, not the backyard grower or user. I'm sure the growers that go nuts without some kind of state licensing will get busted. More than anything else though, I'm sure there will be a wait and...

You're welcome.... They're saying we're a year or more away from everything being in place. When you think about it, it's a huge undertaking. Distribution, when it's illegal in other states, product recalls if something is found to be contaminated (e.coli, meth, etc), labelling, can the govt...

Well, we passed ammendment/proposition 64 and marijuana will become legal for recreational use for up to 1 ounce, and up to 6 plants can be grown in a safe/secure environment. It won't actually become legal until January or so, but here we go. I would like to request a separate section for...
