Can't we just fast-forward 15 years and legalize it already?

I would much rather see pot commercials on TV then erection pills.

Or anti-depressants with side effects including but not limited to: Death, Heart attack,Stroke, Liver failure, anal leakage, depresson, suicidal behavior, colonic inversion, and spleen rupture. In semi rare cases you will develop Parkinsons. Call now for a free sample by mail!

Marijuana is not shown in the advertisement, and the word "marijuana" is never used. Instead, patients and the ad itself refer to pot as "cannabis".

Really? No my journalistic buttholes, you refered to cannabis as "marijuana" and "pot" in your stupid article. Cannabis sativa is the proper name you uneducated conservative douches.

There have been medical marijuana commercials on TV and in the newspapers in western Colorado for the last year.

The TV commercials show buds in glass jars and all kinds of *ahem* glassware. The words "marijuana" or "cannabis" are not mentioned in the TV commercials, but are in newspaper and other print publications.

The advertisements and the media like to use the word "dispensary" a lot.

Does medical marijuana have a place on television in California?


I don't know. Does the commercial talk about smoking something? Hasn't smoking advertisments been prohibited on TV and radio since January 2, 1971? Or does that only apply if the plant that is being smoked is from the genus Nicotiana?

I wonder if it would be legal to run an ad for huffing paint? Hmmm.

In Colorado we have Kush magazines free (along with a slew of other competitive free magazines) that you can pick up at any 7-11 or Kroger owned store. It's essentially like High Times with fewer articles and more ads. Most of the major dispensaries run color ads with coupons that offer a free gram with purchase of an 8th or buy one get one free, or free edible with purchase. It's crazy.

These magazines make no attempt to hide what they do. The front cover is usually a giant pot leaf, or full color photos of buds. They do everything but print, "HEY LOOK! MARIJUANA!" on the cover.

Despite all that, I have yet to see a single old woman faint, or a child turn to a life of crime because of it.

Haven't seen it.
I live in Colorado.
I also work for a Medi Grow house and dispensary on the front range.

My guess is that Nicotine and Pot are two different animals, thus the law would not pertain to Pot.

But again... they don't ever have to show someone smoking it.

Your question is idiotic.

But if you want an answer, in Washington State when one gets their med cannabis license, one gets a hand-out of how bake with it, how to vaporize it, etc. People with nausea problems do best with smoking or vaporizing it. I know somebody with pancreatitis who smokes in the morning otherwise he vomits so much he can't work.

Not sure if this counts....the ad sponsor is a bible thumper with a sick child angle. The linked video has her grousing that it seems okay for her crotchfruit, but "it should be heavily regulated by the government" for everybody else. Is there nothing these fundies won't warp to their twisted imaginary friend delusions?

Then there is the "opponent" with the old gateway drug crap. "what's next?" he asks, "Medical cocaine?" and "Medical heroin?" I think he should look up novocain, lidocaine, morphine, etc. etc....

Sliced the potatoes (about 4 red) into smaller cubes and placed them on heavy duty alum. foil. added about 1/3 stick of butter, garlic salt whatever seasonings you like. then added the finely ground cannabis. the little over 1/4 oz we had was part of a small bit we harvested early from a grow and it was cured by the time we made the trip. the bud was spread over three different alum. pouches of potatoes, so it actually went a long ways.

We put the pouches in a cake pan, so as to not have them leak the goods, and to provide a less direct, more even heat source. Didn't have to drink the butter because it did a pretty decent job of being absorbed.

A couple tips:
We ate at about 6:00 and were all in bed by 10:00
This means we woke up the next day at daybreak, and had all day to do our thing.
Weed used while cooking tends to mute and flatten other flavors, so keep that in mind.

Cannabinoids, actually. There are several species of Cannabis.


Cannabinoids are the psychoactive compounds FOUND in cannabis plants, not the plant itself. There are hundreds of cannabinoids in cannabis, one being THC, which gets you high. Since cannabis has not really been studied as a medicinal plant, there may be other active CBDs in cannabis that target pain, or have negative effects like causing a headache, or racing heart beat.

This is why some varieties of cannabis are better for some types or pain or nausea than others.

There are only three species of cannabis: indica, sativa, and ruderalis

Easiest say to make butter:

1lb butter
1oz kind

Grind up the kind, and add with butter to a slow cooker set on low. Add about a half cup water so the butter doesn't burn.
Let mix slow cook overnight.
Filter out the gunky bits.
Cool, and enjoy!

Smells so sweet as it's warm.

mmmmmmm

havocmike: yea, great, just what we need - more pain in the ass folks walking around high.

Don't worry. Most people in Sac have no desire to go to Alabama. We're at the foothills of the Sierra, about 100 miles from Tahoe/Reno. San Francisco, which a decent place to pickup PCH for trip along the coast, is about 100 miles the other direction. The redwoods are just north of us and to the south there's Yosemite and Sequoia NP. For $50 Southwest will fly us to L.A. or Vegas. If we wanted to see hicks we would go to Fresno or Oroville.

Overnight is too long and most of your THC will be ruined by the heat. The CBDs left over might make you sleepy and groggy.

Try a big pot about 3/4 full of water. Bring to boil. Add a pound of butter. Reduce to a simmer. Add a 1/4 ounce of ground up (powdered) cannabis buds.

Keep simmering uncovered. Keep stirring for about 1/2 hour as it simmers. The THC is not absorbed by water, just the fat in the butter.

Removed from heat.

Let cool on the stove for about an hour. The cannabis should fall to the bottom of the pot. Carefully place in the fridge overnight.

The next day you will have a sheet of pure green butter on top of the cold water. If you let the cannabis settle correctly, you will not have to filter anything.

You can make great peanut butter cookies with it, and cannabutter made this way does not have that heavy heavy green taste just throwing the cannabis into melted butter does.

The next day you will have a sheet of pure green butter on top of the cold water. If you let the cannabis settle correctly, you will not have to filter anything.

You can make great peanut butter cookies with it, and cannabutter made this way does not have that heavy heavy green taste just throwing the cannabis into melted butter does.


Both methods sound like a lot of work; I just buy it at the dispensary. I should talk my gf into trying both methods and compare them to the butter from the dispensary. Sounds like a good weekend to me.

Just to give people a taste of what legal bud might be like, here is my experience:

I call my guy and he drives over to my house in a couple hours. He usually has about a quarter pound of different varieties, and aside from getting my usual I can try out a few other kinds. Last time he also brought bubble hashish. WOW. I get my oz for the month and we have a nice visit.

Legalize it, sell it from stores like a liquor store that require ID. Then enforce the hell out of the age limit just like they do with alcohol.

/yes weed is a hell of a lot easier for a kid to get than alcohol, as long as it is supplied by people who do not care they are selling to children.

@technocrat

We tell of the effects of vicodin (using it as an example) and its generics. We've shown other main-stream drugs which can get you high, on TV for almost 100 years. Its now so easy to get those things without Rx its not even funny.

You just keep telling kids something is bad for them, and leave it at that, or you can actually go after the media to ensure the stuff isn't aired. We humans are information sponges (more so at a young age), you sit down with your kid or something, and show them why, they will get it.

/Advocate of the herbal movement
//Screw you big corps and get the drugs that have already killed millions of kids off my TV
/// 2 1/2 Cups of brownie mix, stick of cannibutter, four drops of jane oil, cup milk, a cup of water, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup of some flower (if you like thick brownies), put in greased pan, cook an hr and a half or so on 350 or until semi-dry in the middle, enjoy with a *these be good brownies mon*.

Stanfan114: santadog: Easiest say to make butter:

1lb butter
1oz kind

Grind up the kind, and add with butter to a slow cooker set on low. Add about a half cup water so the butter doesn't burn.
Let mix slow cook overnight.
Filter out the gunky bits.
Cool, and enjoy!

Smells so sweet as it's warm.

mmmmmmm

Overnight is too long and most of your THC will be ruined by the heat. The CBDs left over might make you sleepy and groggy.

Try a big pot about 3/4 full of water. Bring to boil. Add a pound of butter. Reduce to a simmer. Add a 1/4 ounce of ground up (powdered) cannabis buds.

Keep simmering uncovered. Keep stirring for about 1/2 hour as it simmers. The THC is not absorbed by water, just the fat in the butter.

Removed from heat.

Let cool on the stove for about an hour. The cannabis should fall to the bottom of the pot. Carefully place in the fridge overnight.

The next day you will have a sheet of pure green butter on top of the cold water. If you let the cannabis settle correctly, you will not have to filter anything.

Thanx, but my method works like a charm.
Low slow cooker.
This ain't my first rodeo, by any means.

Had it on toast this morning.
Drizzled it on popcorn the other night.

To me it's like a bread maker. You put some stuff in and the machine does the rest. It's really easy, but buying a tub of butter at the dispensary loaf of bread at the store is much easier. Another good example is coffee. It's incredibly simple to make, yet people will buy it instead of make it.

That being said, I intend to try it anyway. I tried the bread maker thing and had to buy a machine, that hasn't been used in ten years, to do that. One thing I'll probably do different is grind it fine enough to eliminate the need for filtration.

I live in Indiana and was diagnosed with Glaucoma a couple of years ago. I just went to see my eye doctor today for a checkup and they say my eye drops are keeping my pressure fine. They asked about my eye pain and I told them about it; yet they offered no treatment for it. They asked if it would go away with over the counter pain meds; and I said no.

Medical marijuana isn't legal in my state; and I really don't know what to do.

I wish I had some alternative for help.

Does anyone else find this odd? If an anti-depressant CAUSES suicide, maybe they shouldn't release it.


No. I find it completely believable. Amazingly enough, we don't know how most anti-depressants work. We know they change the amount of certain neurotransmitters in your brain but we don't know what those neurotransmitters actually do beyond "well, it seems an increase in X neurotransmitter causes good response in depressed people 33% of the time."

So, having no idea the actual full implications of adjusting these chemicals, we put people on medications, and sometimes their level of neurotransmitter X was already to high, and you get a bad outcome. Or you adjust it to rapidly and it brings on other changes in personality. Some peoples body chemistry just does not react well to some medications.

With our current medication and treatment methods, we are basically trying to straighten a picture from 5 feet away, using a giant wobbly rubber dildo.
 
2010-09-01 11:22:17 PM
Also. SSRI (the most common anti-depressant) actually makes you chemically dependent on it. SSRI withdraw is right up there with heroin on the list of shiat it sucks to stop using.

If you stop taking your SSRI's cold turkey, it's a recipe for suicidal depression.

Bullshiat on the withdrawal. Cold-turkeyed off of 100 mg's of Zoloft (under orders), and while it was unpleasant (look up 'brain zaps') I went to work for the full two weeks of withdrawal.
Heroin users can't do that, so I'm pretty damn sure H is a hella lot worse.

Now the suicidality-well, if you were suicidal when you started taking your antidepressant, chances are you'll be suicidal again if you cold-turkey off of it 3 months later because you suddenly think your dumb ass is okay and you stop taking your pills.

If you want to come off of SSRI's you need to taper and do it under a psychiatrist's supervision.
Personally, I'm either on meds or I'm suicidal, and that started in 5th grade.
If you want to call me a drug addict, fark you.

That I will agree with though.

Having had the fun this spring of trying an an SNRI, and going crazy enough on it that it took me a week to snap to and call the shrink to say "Uh, yeah, I'm screaming at everybody, am eating 600 calories a day, and want to jump off a bridge. I don't think this is working."

Apparently my norepinephrine levels are just fine. Serotonin not so much.

Trial-and-error is so special.

I grind my bud in a hand held coffee grinder, and like to filter it regardless as I don't like the debris... although I like my orange juice full of pulp.

Hey there Santadog.

You might want to try one of these brewers bags (new window). They do a really good job of keeping the particulates out but they do tend to collect a lot of butter so I usually throw the bag in a steamer when I'm done just to recover that last bit of budder.

I tried churning butter when I was a kid; it sucked. My Mom grew up on a farm so as a child I got to try all kinds of farm activities, most of which convinced me I didn't want to be a farmer.

I've never tried using a coffee grinder for weed. It seems like it might work. Especially if you use a good one with sharp blades.

Unless of course you're referring to the other cannabis which is cannabis indica. There is more than one type of cannabis, and no, I'm not referring to hemp.
