You're viewing a single thread.
Good, do the entire country until every cannabinoid is thoroughly tested by the FDA.
Not even /s. I'm serious. I suffer from CHS disease and I know four others that do as well. This shit isn't safe for everyone. We need to find out why, how, and how to mitigate it. Until then, this shit is straight posion.
well your weed is obviously coated in pesticides, whereas...
You're just going off of what you've been told by your source. Most of the shit I vape has lab results too. It doesn't matter. This shit hurts some people, and those people need to know. Cool if you've been smoking for 20 years with no ill effects, but not everybody is you, not to mention we probably shouldn't be hitting mystery sticks with "trust us bro" ingredients inside them in the first place.
There isn't a single warning in your dispensary and I haven't even walked into it to see.
ADDICTS DEFENDING THEIR POISON
So to be clear, you took a self prescribed medicine without researching its effects, and now its everyones problem? You cant possibly be this dumb, is that the weed talking?
Don't care. Downvoted. Obviously an addict defending their poison.
Don't care. Downvoted. Obviously a fool who can't let adults make their own decisions.
Oof, my poor karma. The real shame here is you downed my braincells by posting your comments tbh.
Id tell you i downvoted your comment, but i didnt have to.
Doesn't matter.
Neither do you or your opinion.

Why are you backing a ban on THC instead of just a warning? Are you also backing a ban on alcohol for the same reasons?
....yeah
Sorry, but I know some kids who would go ga-ga for 99 raspberry, don't get me started on the shit you can buy at 7/11 and their crazy flavors.
Why are you backing a ban on THC instead of just a warning? Are you also backing a ban on alcohol for the same reasons?
…yeah
So you're up for making THC and alcohol illegal again. How do you see today being different than the disastrous Prohibition Era and the decades long "War on drugs"? Can you point to any society in the history of humankind that has successfully banned all alcohol and drugs without iron-fisted authoritarian rule over its population?
Is it you or the alcohol talking?
Ah, I see. It makes sense now.
You're just dumb.
Yeah you're arguing with a zealot, stop wasting your time.
Mark them as dumbass troll, any thread you see them in let people know not to engage. Same with any comment mentioning "warhawk", its a buzzword for trolls right now for some reason.
Is it you or the alcohol talking?
Sorry to disappoint you. I don't drink or use drugs, but just because I choose that I don't think everyone else should be forced to follow what I decide for my own body. Adults should have the choice to put those things in their bodies as long as the risks are known. With both drugs and alcohol, the risks are well known a published. Irrespective of my opinion, history is a good teacher of how miserable bans would fail. Humans are going to choose to drink and use drugs for the foreseeable future. Destroying their lives with laws or wars is not productive for our society.
The points you're making will only be worse under a full ban. Legalizing it with strong regulations for testing and labelling are the only thing that would make it safer for you.
You could just idk not use it if it makes you feel bad.
Do you want to ban alcohol too because it has an effect on everyone?
How about peanuts? Some people can't be around peanuts should everyone thus stop eating peanuts?
Red40 isn't safe for everyone either. Neither is gluten. Neither are peanuts.
I get what you're saying, but the FDA isn't going to protect the outliers. That's not what they're there for. They're there to show general safety, and that's more than proven at this point.
At best you'll get a label on the peanut butter that says "may contain peanuts." Sorry, I mean a label on the weed that says "may contain cannabinoids".
You're just wrong about the warning thing. Every time I buy I am handed a pamphlet detailing the risks of consuming concentrated THC. It's law here in Colorado. And a giant waste of paper.
Agree with you that there needs to be a lot more testing (I myself will only buy solventless weed concentrates), but I appreciate the freedom to make my own choices about what I consume.
If the Feds would get their head out of their ass and decriminalize it, there would be a huge torrent of research over the next few years.
That's wild, I've been smoking/vaping weed almost daily for decades and it's the first time I heard of this.
Still, it would be far more effective to mandate prevention in dispensaries than banning weed (again) because of this. As you must be well aware it's really easy to find even if it's illegal, and street dealers sure as shit won't talk about this to their clients.
Nah. Grow your own if you're that worried. None of us is forced to smoke, but I do need to take medicine I can rely on. I want the government involved in one case, but not very much the other.
Do you understand the difference?
grow your own if you're that worried
Grow what? Where? Where's the CHS safe weed? Certified? By who? You? Nobody? Thought so. Larp elsewhere.
"Trust me, bro" science gets old
This is just like the people who want to ban peanuts from everything in the world.
Maybe there isn't safe weed for you if you are that sensitive to it. The rest of us are doing just fine though.
Why do you feel that people can't make this decision for themselves?
So smoking weed makes you throw up a bunch? Ive never heard of anyone suffering from this until now. Couldn't you just not smoke weed? Is someone forcing you and your friends?
Alcohol first.
