[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a menopausal woman who hadn’t slept well in years despite doing all the things, the sleep edibles have been a godsend. For the first time in ages I am sleeping deeply, well and consistently. The positive impact this has had on every part of my life is massive. FYI - consistent lack of adequate sleep has significant effects on all of the body’s systems. [/quote]

It's weird to me that you are using marijuana like a pharmaceutical yet don't want it to be regulated the way literally all pharmaceuticals, even OTC ones, are regulated. If you get a box of TylenolPM over the counter at CVS for $12, you can feel confident that the formulation is FDA approved, the facility it was manufactured in undergoes regular inspections, even the packaging it comes in has been reviewed and approved for containing accurate, not misleading, information, as well as appropriate warnings. Yet the pot gummies you are taking have none of this oversight. There is not even good consistence with dosing levels in edibles, in large part because the industry is so unregulated.

If these edibles are so essential for your health and well being, why wouldn't you want them to be regulated with the same level of quality control as a bottle of Advil? You only stand to benefit from that.[/quote]

I'm not saying it couldn't be more regulated but in the states like MD where it is legal, it is regulated a great deal. However, that's not why OP keeps posting. She is against use, period. No amount of regulation is going to make her happy.

The sale of medical marijuana in MD is regulated a great deal. The production and packaging of medical marijuana in MD is more minimally controlled. In part because it remains illegal at the federal level.

What you should actually want is FDA regulation of marijuana. Why would you oppose that? Again, why should marijuana be less regulated than Advil? It makes no sense.

I also want smoking marijuana to be regulated in the same way that cigarette and cigar smoke is regulated, because it's a public nuisance. I don't care if people smoke in their own homes but public smoking in DC, where I live, has had a major impact on quality of life. I went to pick up take out the other day and the restaurant smelled of weed when I walked in. My kid has learned to hold her breath walking around parts of our neighborhood because they stink so much do to public pot smoking. It's crazy to me that we had finally gotten to a place with nicotine where it was at least not a public nuisance (though cigarettes are still legal for those who want to consume them), and then we just rolled the clock back 30 years on smoking, only this time with pot. Ugh.[/quote]

I don't know of any place where smoking weed is permitted but smoking cigarettes isn't. It's not a thing. [/quote]
