[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big question to me is who will be the first jurisdiction in our area to have retail sales. I’m betting on NJ.

Maryland is actually first, but you need a state medical marijuana card. I’ve been told that they are relatively easy to get, but as with everything in Maryland they prefer to make things more complicated than they need to be. [/quote]
MD does not sell recreational marijuana, that is what VA has approved - similar to CO. They currently have the same medical sale requirements as VA does currently. Both have retail stores and require medical cards for purchase. [/quote]
When’s the retail stores coming?[/quote]
Retail stores are already open in both VA and MD if you have a medical MJ card.[/quote]

But what if you don’t have any sort of medical condition or malady that is treatable with MJ? What do you do if you’re healthy and just want to get stoned? What are you supposed to do then? Because those people are just SOL it seems. [/quote]

The stores might have a list of doctors who will happily prescribe cannabis for headaches or stress or anything. [/quote]

So we can now admit that the whole medical MJ thing was just a sham to get stoners their bud!

Bingo!

You didn’t have to lie about it this whole time.  :roll: [/quote]

Are you saying that the existence of opportunists means that marijuana is NOT a useful substance for countless people suffering things like glaucoma, aids, chemo, chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, ptsd...[/quote]

I’m not saying MJ doesn’t have some legitimate limited uses, because I’ve witnessed that myself.

What I am saying is that it’s not a cure-all for everything it’s being lauded for. Everything from anxiety to headaches to PTSD to menstrual cramps to colds and flu - seriously, it sounds like a 1890’s snake oil patent medicine. And stoners are doing a disservice to the limited amount of people who actually DO benefit from medical MJ because they’re trying to jump on that wagon.

Stop with the bullshit and lies. Just be honest about it. You wanna get high.  No one drinks alcohol for the medicinal benefits (spare me the “red wine cholesterol derp- you can drink grape juice with no ethanol in it and get the same benefit) . They drink it because they like the alcohol. Same with weed. It doesn’t do a better job of easing your period cramps than midol.

Stoners lie. Period. [/quote]

Still mad that people who use weed can be more productive members of society than you?[/quote]
