according to an article about the WA law They could buy up to an ounce of dried marijuana; one pound of marijuana-infused product in solid form, such as brownies; or 72 ounces of marijuana-infused liquids.. hahaha what?
― wk, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 06:11 (eleven years ago) link
lol at the liquids. an ounce is not a small amount though. like PA law capping single beer bottle purchases at 12. tedious but hardly draconian.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 06:13 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, an oz is not small at all. and really when it gets to that level of legalization who cares how much somebody possesses? But yeah, an oz of bud vs. a pound of hash is pretty lol.
― wk, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 06:15 (eleven years ago) link
but wait, seriously in PA you can't buy more than 12 beers at a time!?
― wk, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 06:16 (eleven years ago) link
WA is 56% / 44% right now.
"One ounce of marijuana will be legal as of Dec. 6, and the state will begin a year-long process of creating a closed, tightly regulated and heavily taxed market for recreational marijuana sales at state-licensed retail shops."
I seriously have no idea what will come of this, it is kind of insane to think about. I live in a town that's approximately 60% college kids and is surrounded for hundreds of miles by incredibly fertile farmland so shit could get kind of crazy.

previously w/my mmj letter in WA i could carry upto 24oz, which i always thought was insanean oz is much more sensible. wonder how many times you can shop in a day

― ou th (anky), Wednesday, 7 November 2012 06:20 (eleven years ago) link
you can buy by the case at a beer depot but a local bar opened up a shop to sell singles and they cap it at 12 beers at a time.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 06:22 (eleven years ago) link
hahaha, 24 oz? wow. A qualifying patient and designated provider may possess a total of no more than twenty-four ounces of usable marijuana, and no more than fifteen plants. This quantity became the state's official "60-day supply" I can't comprehend smoking almost a half ounce every day.

and wk you could have 2 other peoples' letters on hand for up to 45 plants. at an ounce and a half each every 12 weeks and jesus christ do the math unless you're too high

Everyone thinks the feds will intervene on this one. Anyone have any opinions? I am hoping O will just let it be. I am excited about how this will help CO's economy.

well is anything it forces them to address the issue somewhat head on for the first time. and they see that the state does not fall apart with stoner zombies running around in the streets robbing and murdering for their fix.
― carne asada, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 17:01 (eleven years ago) link
Thank you, CO and WA for throwing this in the teeth of the feds and the DEA! The road to ending marijuana prohibition is still going to be long and rocky, but this was a long step toward demonstrating that voters are ready for a different, more sensible approach. The feds will surely intervene, because no doing so effectively concedes total loss of control over the issue and they aren't ready for that step.
OR's initiative was wretchedly written, but I voted for it anyway, as did approx 45% of OR voters. That is a respectable number and adds further impetus behind legalization/regulation/taxation, but politicians worship majorities, not respectable losses.

i work in the CO tourism industry and i voted yes for this -- but gotta say, my boss was not into the idea of weed tourism at all, basically saying we'd lose a ton of convention business because of it. is that true? i dunno, he might just be mistake about how much people care about it.

i'm moving to an (rx) weed state next month. and I have a legitimate health condition to qualify. not sure how the whole thing works. like can you just go to any doc and make a "i want teh weed" appt?

@SmokeyCloud The elections biggest winner? Peyton Manning for buying 20 Papa Johns in Colorado a week before weed was voted legal.

xp pretty much! maybe not *any* doc, but it'd be easy to find one who would write you a prescrip.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 18:00 (eleven years ago) link
is it seriously the case that in WA & CO you'll just be able to buy weed? it can't be, right - medical only, right?
― Inconceivable (to the entire world) (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Wednesday, 7 November 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
do they charge a higher-than-normal fee for the rx? maybe they do only if it's a semi-shady doc and you don't really have a medical reason for it?

prob not just any doc but shouldn't be hard to find one w/ loose rx policies

Yeah it sounds like CO you can just buy weed now and there will soon be legal weed stores. ???

it is very easy to get weed in denver, not sure about elsewhere. there are dispensaries on every corner, every street. LIKE, WAY MORE THAN I WOULD EVER EXPECT. I think all you have to do is go in and complain of your ailment and shell out $100 and they'll give you a card. Then you have to register with a dispensary. You can't just walk into any of them.
― homosexual II, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 18:29 (eleven years ago) link
Anyway it's been good for CO on the whole, I think. I know a lot of people who are contracted growers who make money growing marijuana. Lots of retail space being leased for dispensaries.
― homosexual II, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 18:30 (eleven years ago) link
And since we decriminalized it in 2004 (I think?) a lot of people are pretty open about smoking pot. Like, on a smoking patio at a bar it's not surprising for people to be smoking pot
― homosexual II, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 18:31 (eleven years ago) link
when I was in CO this May a local told me there's more dispensaries in Denver than Starbucks in the whole state
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 7 November 2012 18:36 (eleven years ago) link
the pot industry has basically saved the alt-weekly in Denver (which i linked to above), so that's an ok thing too.
