Be greatful!

And to think when I was in HS, you'd get busted for having a seed!

Truly heartbreaking about Skidork and Ty's daughter. I cannot begin to imagine the grief.

As for legalization, it's made me completely give up smoking cannabis outside of socially. I wasn't a big partaker anyway for many years, basically just weekends or socially. But now I'm all about edibles. The formulas are precise and reliable. I know exactly what the impact will be of the dosage and dominant characteristics in the recipe.

I find for me that about 15-20 milligrams of an Indica based edible has the same relaxing effect of say 3-4 glasses of red wine and it's likely no where near as bad for you as alcohol. And if I'm out at a concert or something, a similar dosage of a sativa based edible will have a similar 3-4 drink effect without the drowsiness. In addition to no longer smoking it, Ive also found myself drinking far less alcohol over the past couple of years. Overall legalization has been a net positive for my health.

I’m sure thats one of the reasons alcohol and tobacco companies want marijuana to stay illegal federally.

Yep. All of that for me too. I can eat 10 mg, barely know that I’m high but my anxiety disappears and I forget drinking all together. My health is much better off and I’m saving money. Marijuana for the win.

Hmmm.interesting. I quit drinking for a year but unfortunately came back to it..in a much smaller way though. Alcohol truly is nasty stuff when you over do it. Now that I'm moving to VT..maybe I'll give this stuff a try. I gave up smoking it a million years ago.

Edibles are a great way to partake. The formulations have become very consistent as dhs pointed out. I still like the vaporizer but bought a few edibles and was impressed with them.

Before widespread legalization I was always leery of eating cannabis because you never truly knew beforehand how it would affect you.

Could do absolutely nothing or bring on an existential crisis

Thc is strangely a performance enhancer for me. It helps me let go and jump right into a flow state.

Sativa does that for me. Indica not so much

Smoking an indica before skiing could be a recipe for disaster

How this thread has morphed into what it is now, is kind of disturbing.

What started out as a thread about a ski family, who is known by many in the ski forum community and the sudden loss of their 20 something daughter likely due to fentanyl laced pot, has now become a pro pot in various forms thread.

Maybe what this thread is about now should be continued in the "legalize it already" thread in the miscellaneous topics forums?

Go get an ice cream and watch some sponge Bob.

Did you see where the police said 'whoopsie - our bad'?

Test that detected fentanyl in marijuana inaccurate, Brattleboro police say​

The thread started with a link to the above article saying OMG - watch out they are lacing your pot with Fentanyl!! Scary!!

And then that poster said they suspect their kid died of fentanyl.

Where did that poster say that their kid died of fentanyl laced pot?

They said they suspected fentanyl as a cause, but I didn't see where they said it was pot? Is there something I am missing?

It was probably mixed in a powder drug. Coke, Heron, or maybe X.

A lot of people are in denial about what drugs are being passed around at parties, and the whole fentanyl situation is scary as fuck

No one is advocating for taking fentanyl and if marijuana was legalized and controlled then fentanyl lacing it would be no issue. I have lost close friends to it and banning all drugs and leaving people uneducated is not the answer.

Terrible when anyone dies from preventable causes but we can’t jump to conclusions. Doesn’t matter if it was marijuana, cocaine, heroin or another substance; no one should lose their life over it. We need better education, mental health help, and resources to test drugs so these pointless deaths won’t happen. I don’t think anyone was diminishing the families loss it’s just that scare stories can lead us in the wrong direction of progress.

Brattleboro's disproven fentanyl-pot reports highlight hazy issue

For years, law enforcement nationwide has made claims of marijuana laced with fentanyl, usually in the name of public health and based off of trace evidence.

Whoa. That is crazy!

And stop the importation of it.............execute the smugglers!

I’m extremely grateful for legal weed.

Me also. I have always had a big garden for years. I just refocused my efforts.

I bought a house in NH near the border. The regional newspaper is always filled with VT crime stories, much more crime in VT than on the NH side of the border. COVID and the ensuing demographic shift has taken it's toll on VT. VT now seems like a socialist shithole.

Overdose deaths in Vermont soared by 70% amid COVID. It's the highest increase in the US.

From April 2020 to April 2021, the CDC predicts OD deaths in the U.S. increased by 28%. During the same period, VT's OD deaths went up by nearly 70%.

Giving people free $$ not to work and legal weed.....What could go wrong?

Odd place to wedge your political views but sure I guess. Identity politics wins again...
