"Is cannibus perfectly OK, imo, no."

Then you are doing it wrong.

No drug is "perfectly ok".. a person can die from a teaspoon of water.

Even drugs that can literally save lives can have negative side effects.

(See any drug commercial/ad for details.)

Cannabis works perfectly fine for me.

And no we are not discussing my personal medical conditions or why I use it. Suffice it to say it works for me.

"Will this mean the dispensary will now be able to accept Credit Cards?"

Excellent question. The answer should be yes. But we'll see.

"LSD is maybe the safest drug one could possibly do."

The drug itself is not dangerous. Non toxic even. The toxic human taking it is the danger. It's dangerous to the unprepared and to someone who is not mentally stable. Which can lead to impaired judgment, dangerous behavior, self-harm, and long-term mental health problems. And taking it too often can wreck even the best minds. The experience is so intense it's helpful to have a spiritual guide at least until you get used to it.

the EO just makes the country one big skanky ashtray.

Don't let the door hit you in the arse in the way out commie spyboy.

Does not affect me one way or the other here behind the blue wall in California.

We have no problem standing up to Trumpy and his jack booted thugs. California just chased Trumpy's illegal jack booted thugs back to their barracks.

California successfully challenged the Trump administration in federal court, leading to an order for the National Guard troops federalized and deployed from the state (mainly to LA, Portland, Chicago) to return to Governor Newsom's control, ending unauthorized federal use for immigration enforcement, with a judge ruling the federalization and deployments illegal due to lack of state consent and exceeding presidential authority.

Isn't that the case with alcohol as well?

Alcohol is literally a poison. Very easy to OD on. Use can use it to disinfect a wound. Because it kills life.

You can OD on cannabis. But it takes a huge effort to do so which makes it very very rare that anyone dies directly from ingesting too much THC. And the cannabinoids in pot are actually beneficial. Of course it still requires you use some judgement. Like all things in life.

(Though I did solve a complex technical issue on an F4Ns ECM system while coming down from LSD (long story). I don't recommend that for normal mortals.)

Being susceptible to alcoholism is genetic too. My dad was an alcoholic and died from it. Which made me susceptible. My wife's father was a "functional alcoholic" which made her susceptible. (She was VERY susceptible). He was an English Professor at San Francisco State. He often gave lectures while completely "smashed". I always wondered how he did it. It was very impressive.

I saw the damage alcohol does to families so I switched from alcohol to cannabis early in my career and it saw me all the way through to my retirement (in spite of our draconian laws at the time). Cannabis is my friend. And it may have even saved my life.

That's my cannabis story (some of it) and I'm sticking to it!

"I was told by a Weasel pilot that the F-4 was the best Weasel ever built. 13 different ECM antennae."

And the Marine Pilots were the best at it. Because they were some crazy mo fos supported by even more crazy mo fos.

Re 39

I'll take it. Every beer gets a story.

Nearly died several times trying to make it over Donner Summit (hence the nickname that has followed me ever since) to Sacramento Army Depot (which no longer exists) from my farm in Lassen County.
