Without being a backseat mod, can you please try using the "quote" tags when you copy things from articles? It would also be nice if you actually put a viewpoint forward rather than just pasting information for the sake of it.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

This is quite an interesting article, showing 2 sides of the coin that is legalised marijuana in Colorado.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-02/ ... o/11160420
On one hand, you have increased numbers of people going to the Emergency department with issues.
On the other hand, the state of Colorado has made nearly $1 Billion in revenue from legal weed.

Not just the vomiting, but also psychiatric issues.It used to be a rare condition seen in only the most committed stoners: unrelenting extreme vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain brought on by years of regular marijuana consumption.
There's also the increased number of fatal car accidents.Researchers like Dr Monte are doing groundbreaking work on the health impacts of legal marijuana.
His latest peer-reviewed research found that cannabis-related emergency room visits for psychiatric problems have increased fivefold in the state.
Cheech and Chong did warn us about the dangers of stoners driving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuYeQi4wB_kFatal car crashes involving cannabis have doubled since 2014
On the other hand, the state of Colorado has made nearly $1 Billion in revenue from legal weed.
So it's an interesting case study. Do the economic benefits outweigh the social issues? Like Alcohol, no one's forcing people to smoke and maybe with time and education will reduce the social impact while retaining the economic one.While Colorado takes stock of the collateral damage of legal recreational cannabis, it is also enjoying the economic benefits.
It has turbocharged local businesses by taking operations from criminal gangs and turning them into legitimate enterprises like Los Suenos Farms.
Ryan Kinnison's family farmed corn in Nebraska, but he grows marijuana in Colorado........................The margins are certainly better than corn.
Instead of a few dollars a kilogram, today's powerful marijuana can sell for $2,100 a kilo and up.
That price has come down from the early days in 2014 when demand could not match supply, but it is still a margin most farmers can only dream of.
As well as being able to pay above the minimum wage and provide health benefits to his employees, it has given this region's economy, which was declining, a burst of green-tinged smoke.
"With this cannabis industry, it's created about 2,500 jobs for the local economy," Mr Kinnison said.
"It's also created about $US58 million in economic impact for associated businesses such as the contractors that we use and the electricians and housing, so it's been really good for this community."

Very interesting Stui.
One thing I know is the potency of todays smoke is ten times+ stronger than it used to be. I can only imagine the strengths of some of the weed they are now coming up with where it's legal.
Had a mate grow some really nice plants in his yard. A really mellow old school kind of stoned IE - Share a nice spliff and just get a cruisy little buzz, quite easy to carry on as per normal. He was selling bags (over an Oz) for $200.... nobody was interested. They all want the zombie weed 'killer' that puts you on your arse and makes you a whacked out lazy sloth, who wants to do nothing and costs upwards of $400/oz
It's like comparing knocking back 3 cans of mid strength to smashing a bottle of Rum.
This is something that should be taken into consideration when we finally move forward on regulation. Maybe a limit of a few grams of high potency stuff a month and more of the lighter smoke available?

Cannabis Companies Push F.D.A. to Ease Rules on CBD Products
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/31/heal ... ulate.html
"From Susan Cromer, of LilyHemp (Infused Herbal Goodness): “I have been privileged, awed and at times brought to tears by the positive changes CBD has brought to my customers’ lives.”
From Michelle Peace, an assistant professor of forensic science at Virginia Commonwealth University: “We have seen a rash of reports nationwide from people being poisoned from taking CBD products.”
From David Evans, a lawyer for Cannabis Industry Victims Educating Litigators, who noted he has 1,000 cases pending against the opioid industry: “If our dreams come true, we’ll have the same thing going against the marijuana industry in a year or two.”
...
Numerous speakers cited problems with adulterated CBD products, found to include pesticides, lead or other metals; inconsistent CBD levels leading customers to take too high a dose and get sick; and research indicating a potential for liver problems and other adverse events when taking CBD. The potential for addiction was also raised.
...
Mr. Scheineson suggested the F.D.A. might use its regulation of folic acid as a road map for CBD. Consumers can buy folic acid, a B vitamin, over the counter for some uses, but it must be prescribed by doctors at higher concentrations."
