Other than that? I love being sober, too!

But it's only for patented genes, so if you breed it, that's not the same thing.

No smoking, though. Smoking is gross.

It's really stupid.

Though if Starbucks starts selling pot brownies, maybe I'll give those a(nother) try. (Yeah, I know: try specialty bars or liquor stores instead. Eventually).

* I supported I-502 and I'm proud the people of the state widely embraced rationality by adopting it (and I hope the SCOTUS will see it that way also). As with being a straight supporting R74, doing the right or sensible thing sometimes involves more than just voting along your own narrow self-interest.

@47 - wtf cartel? 502 sets up state licensed tiers not unlike our liquor system, and the estimated price the state used to come up with the fiscal impact of 502 was $12/gram. You are talking right out of your ass.

despite all that, I just feel like I'm growing out of it? usually when I do buy some, it's such a small amount that I don't really feel like bothering the seller, or go out of my way to meet them. unless we happen to be at the same place at the same time, like at a show. maybe once it's available in stores I'll start buying some more often once again.

I'll give it another whirl when the weirdness of the acquisition experience goes away, but I'm not expecting to like it any better than I did 20 years ago.

Hey, can Washington farm hemp now too?

Why the jail? Because the cost of growing your own, if pot was actually legal in the same way that beer and wine are legal, is about 11 cents a gram. But the state wants to charge 250 times that. Which means that they have to use the police to squash any competition.

Welcome to the wacky world of "legal" marijuana made "legal" by I-502. Will it work? You tell me, stoners! What would you rather pay: $20 a gram, $10 a gram, or 11 cents a gram? This is an I.Q. test.

I think it'd be great if more people got stoned more often in this state, in hopes of seeing great things come out of it: more psychedelic art/music/culture, more new innovative ideas, more thinking outside the box, etc.

I know it isn't for everybody, fine, whatever. A lot of people try it a few times and then decide they hate it and won't do it again because they had a bad experience with it, and they probably had a bad experience with it because they got waaay too high, and/or got high under the wrong circumstances, which made them feel very paranoid or socially out of place or .. blah blah, you know. Your first time you gotta be alone or with a close friend or 2, outside, in the woods or in a quiet calm house/apartment with awesome music and food

I think I've only smoked once in the past two years. But when its legal and readily available I'll probably toke up on occasion. In my experience MJ can -- in moderation and under the right circumstances -- enhance creativity considerably and conduce a pretty wonderful time. But smoking too much just leaves me foggy and groggy.

Like Macklemore raps (along with Prometheus Brown on the Blue Scholars track Tommie Chong... but you already knew that): "I'm not against legalization -- no, not at all/ I'm against glorification, you are not Snoop Dogg/ moderation -- that's the key/ the door is unlocked, it's up to you how you use it/ make the call".
