FARC jokes not funny :-/
― Fa la la (La Lechera), Saturday, 25 June 2011 17:43 (twelve years ago) link
What is the perception of FARC. I thought they were thought politically normal by media barely more fringe than al Jazeera. Isn't there platform "Che"? Though I am totally unknowledgeable on this subject, that was a totally nonfunny remark.

not surprising. this is the takeaway tho:
The paper spoke to advocates who criticized the ruling but are pleased that the government has finally responded, which allows them to appeal to the federal courts.

We also have codeine--which is OTC in a number of countries--as a Schedule II drug, the same classification as fentanyl and morphine. *shakes head*

That National Review editorial linked by Mordy is mainly about honoring a legacy of Wm. Buckley, Jr. If Buckley had never come out in favor of legalization, you can damn well bet the current editors never would have arrived there on their own. Still, it is nice to see one of their editorial positions making a modicum of sense.

anecdotal information but my prices have been significantly lower over the last year and my connection said that's because it's all coming from CA. obv a supply deficit could affect prices everywhere but... ya know.

mexico is def the source of what falls into the category of "popcorn mids" (well funded grows producing decent mids, not too compressed). bc (and norcal) is identified with triched out boutique weed and mexico is identified with dirt but both produce a lot of stuff in the middle. a lot of bc weed is just high yielding indoor stuff (the ghost of big bud) grown hot and fast-- you get people saying "i can always tell og kush (or other namebrand strain) grown by nammers" (ie the genetics are good but the product is too chemmy or too harsh or looks a little off).

"In so many ways, all it takes to move this issue forward is a willingness to ignore the people who don't know how to have a serious conversation about marijuana. They will tell you that it's not important, even though it obviously is. They will tell you that no one cares, even though almost everyone does. And they will tell you that you'll make thousands of enemies, when new allies and friends are waiting around every corner to pledge their support and stand alongside any political leader wise enough to know that the time for change is at hand."

The solid South is very still slow on this trend, I expect. I just can't see the idea of ending the prohibition playing well in Texas, Georgia or Florida, even if California is more than weary of bankrolling gangsters via marijuana profits.
― Aimless, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 00:24 (twelve years ago) link
In Texas & Georgia, really? I think those two will be where the movement catches hold in the south.

and honestly I mean - Florida is a different country almost but there are a lot of people there whose symptoms could be alleviated by medical marijuana, and that's an avenue that's opening up

Hey, I'm all for opening up the question for a thorough public debate, but for 90% of voters the only way to initiate a debate is for some dramatic story to capture everyone's attention and focus it on the issue for a week or so. Whatever that dramatic story happens to be, it sets the framework for the discussion, and frankly, nothing about this dynamic is conducive to rational thinking, so we can only hope the irrational catalyst it provides for the debate will push people's emotions in favor of taking the rational side of the question.
It is a nice thought to "ignore the people who can't have a serious conversation about marijuana", because that kind of discussion favors ending the prohibition. Unfortunately, the general public has been fed so many slabs of television news about the horrors of drugs, and cop show plots fueled by evil druggies, and gossipy magazine articles and propaganda of every stripe in the popular media, that you can't just impose a whole new paradigm on them without resistance.
Even if our current set of politicians suddenly agreed that ending prohibition would be best, a new set of demagogues could easily supplant them, so long as the general public thinks prohibition is necessary to save them from druggies on crime sprees. This is precisely the sort of 'unserious', even ridiculous, idea that "people who can't have a serious conversation" still hold. But you can't wish those folks away. Changing enough of the public's mind means engaging with them over a long period.
Maybe the time really is right. I don't know. But I'm not averse to trying to launch as much sense into the nation as possible and then seeing how much it has the capacity to absorb.
