If cannabis by the ton is being trucked across the border every day and police size 5 tons, then how much still goes through? As much as the market demands, as always.

As a huge pot smoker, I want to thank the ICE for taking this shiatty Mexican ditch weed out of my market.

I wonder if Immigrations and Customs and the DEA have even figured out that the good shiat comes from the north, not the south.

I didnt know we still got our weed from south of the border. Cali and BC give us most of our supply, no big loss here.

Haha, I doubt it. The original Bureau of Narcotics was created by Harry Anslinger with extremely racist overtones. Well, not even overtones, he made no bones about it.

"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."

"...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races."

"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."

And that man, ladies and gentlemen, is why marijuana is illegal today.

Actually, lots of Mexicans like their homeland buds because the stuff up here is so strong. Lots of people from every walk of life smoke da mota during the day so they can still function at work/in general.
By contrast, they couldn't do chit if they smoked what we grow up here. The KGB(kind green bud) is better evening smoke.
I personally smoke whatever presents itself.

Maybe pencil-man, Depends on how much you smoked before that and how your body stores fat. Drink lots of fluids and go to the gym. If your really worried, go get some goop from the head shop. "Urine luck" or whatever.

Meh, depends on what you're used to. I can smoke KB like I used to smoke brickweed. It lasts longer that way, tastes better, and is a little more expensive.

I have a friend who works construction. Well, more specifically, tile work. He smokes the kind bud when he's starting a project and his work turns out beautiful. IMO, you have to be really stoned to be able to tolerate the repetitiveness of that kind of work, not to mention the strain on the knees and lower back when you're bent over a floor. I'm sure it helps with the creativity as well

Even more importantly: Dupont and Hearst had patents on woodpulp paper manufacturing. Someone invented a hemp gin (mid '30s) which would have made those processes unprofitable, so Hearst used all his slimy yellow journalism ability to get marijuana (and thus hemp) illegal.

I started and finished off a 1.75L bottle of 100pr Southern Comfort over 4 days last weekend (TFSS) because although my favorite is Captain Morgan's, it's only 70pr. (Because I couldn't find any KB.)

Maybe the herb you smoked was shwag?

I pity you, it's true that smoking weed produced a feeling of euphoria.

More than likely, yes. If it's a piss test, you have a chance to flush it out of your system, though. Drink a metric assload of water and cranberry juice a couple days before the test.

I hate piss tests. I'll never take another one as long as I live. If an employer wants to paw through my piss, I don't wanna work for them.

might not want to go the gym. your body stores the thc in your fat cells and when you exercise you burn those cells and release the thc into your stream. it's better to just keep eating and stay as lazy as possible.

water helps, but only on the day of. you can't drink yourself clean (trust me - been there.) you want to dilute your urine as much as possible. take some vitamin b (i think) to make sure you get a nice yellow urine that doesn't look like it's been adulterated.

some people swear by that urine luck stuff, or whatever. i've never tried it, but my friends have and passed. worth a shot.

If you smoke only 1 J a week before but none in the 3 months prior, I'd say you'll be ok.

It's not a war on drugs, big Pharma makes billions a year on people using their synthetic chemicals.

It's a war on minorities.

Ah, so the invisible hand is clutching a bong? Not surprised.


doitagain: People still buy weed?

I would rather accept the lesser illegality of possession. The RCMP and Alberta police don't really seem to care all that much if you have a bit of weed. But you're farked if you're growing, they remember that pot grower who shot and killed a couple cops.

I remember some politicians got slammed for politicizing
the officer's deaths by saying "Hey, if pot were legal this would not've happened."

The half dozen felonies thrown at everyone when my roommate was busted growing kinda talked me out of going back down that route.

The simple fine for possession? Not so much.

/Still curious as to how you can charge multiple people with the same single-target crime, like possession.

Single best way to "win" the war on drugs. Authorize non-commercial production. But I'm still calling Shenanigans. The consequences are far, far, too severe for the average person to risk.

for the huge majority of pot smokers who can't afford $50/$100 (the people who think buying a dime is economically efficient), yes a whole lot of bricked garbage still comes from the south.
