...I felt the same way, but this new medicinal shit is really a different high [I too hated to mellow out and sink into the couch, but I equate this new stuff to coffee!!!]
I read somewhere that California has to take it's budget, and then add 10% to cover programs for illegal aliens. That is a pretty decent chuck of change when you consider how huge our budget is here.
...no, but one of the "drug stores" that I frequent had something called Vanilla Kush and that shit was stronger than any wheelchair weed that I have ever had [felt like I had eaten an entire batch of grandma's brownies...I was paralyzed for hours]
I have heard of Superbud, not sure if it's the same. I was a fan Cinderella 99 by the Brothers Grimm. High of a sativa strain, but the growing habits of a indica strain. When I used pot for pain I spent $75 for 5 seeds of C99 from Heaven's Stairway. Best $75 I ever spent! http://www.hemcy.at/oscommerce/images/Cinderella99a.jpg
Hmm... I could probably buy a winter home in Santa Barbara for a fraction of the price these days. Btw, weed isn't a drug!
doubtful, high desire areas don't usually fluctuate that much, esp in bad markets. people always want to live by the beach...its the tract housing that's more fucked.
The problem with this line of logic is that California doesn't have problems due to lack of industry, or lack of economy, or lack of business, etc. We have issues due to the ridiculous spending and number of people we have to support.
Will it be legal under federal law though? Weed is practically legal in the state of California already. There's plenty of medical marijuana businesses, I have some friends who own and operate a couple, and you just need a prescription from a doctor to buy from them. The City of Mendocia's economy is pretty much funded by weed. There was good documentary on it by CNN.
That is actually the completely wrong way of looking at things. You are saying that because of the way that your government is spending money, they shouldn't invest in technology which will bring in more money. Those are two exclusive issues. One is an investment which will, down the line, bring in more revenue for the state. A lot more revenue. Secondly you are saying that California doesn't have any problems with lack of industry or lack of economy? What is California exclusively lacking with the problem the rest of the country has with unemployment and economic problems? No they aren't. So I have no idea what you are talking about up above. Lastly, did you ever stop to think that medical research that benefits mankind has to paid for from somewhere. Research isn't free. The benefit is, down the line it saves peoples lives or improves their quality of life while suffering from medical isdues.
No, that isn't what I'm saying. Don't build strawmen. The way California spends money, they should be letting the much more efficient private sector handle things. As Eric mentioned, California and its government always thinks they are being so progressive, without looking at the alternative side of things. California doesn't have a revenue problem. We clearly have efficiency and spending problems. Can not parse. I know you don't know what I'm talking about. But if you lived here you would. Ironic coming from somebody that, if I remember correctly, fully supports nationalized or social healthcare. I'm perfectly fine with medical research. It turns out, around here, we are really good at it without the government getting in the way.
I hope this actually goes through. It'd be a major step forward. Since Canada's too cowardly to differ from American policy, our best bet is to hope that the US can change some of their illogical drug policies.
