Its long over due to call off the war on this drug, but lets be honest most people are not interested in its medicinal uses, but its party uses.

I’ve never used really weed to “party” (I don’t really do enough to get silly high even tho I have the capacity to) it’s always felt regulatory. A way of resetting to zero - be it pain or anxiety - and refocusing to aid in functionality for me. Same goes for a lot of med patients. It’s nothing like it in process - but to me it’s like the difference between adderal for an ADHD brain vs a NT brain. Some ppl it’s super strong and altering/fun, and for other people it works w their brain less intensely and helps them feel “normal”. Tolerance also plays a major role.

Oooh, I want some of those misinformed downvotes too!

I'm a Libertarian Nutjob who believes all drugs should be decriminalized. I will use delta gummies to help with sleep. That said...

The whole concept of medical marijuana is bullshit. There may be things it does, conditions it helps, etc. But it's not been studied or approved for anything by any of our regulatory agencies and at least two of my progressive medical / therapy providers refuse to use the term and think it's dangerous.

It just sucks that what is a right: my body, my choice, has to be wink/winked into existence with this sort of designation.

Also, can someone explain why a deep blue area like ours wasn't 100% at the forefront of all this decrim stuff given how destructive drug laws have been to communities that look like ours?
