Color me dumb.


Almost all have medical marijuana. It’s still illegal recreationally in most of the Southern states. Not surprising.

I’m more concerned with the smell of blood after school shootings, but hey, we all have our concerns.


Your concern is low incidence, high consequence.

The smell of cannabis is high incidence, low consequence.

Treat accordingly.

The Maryland Cannabis Administration put out emergency regulations for the beginning of the market. Stores will reserve high potency products for people who use medical marijuana. Dispensaries must also set aside certain hours where medical patients can exclusively shop or set up a fast lane so they can checkout with their products quicker.


As a medical card holder, and someone who doesn't need the high potency stuff, I'm excited not to have to pay the dr and registration fees.

A few puffs makes sex feel spiritual.
I’m very pleased that it will be easier to get.

sex is amazing! both my wife and I love the effect. I last longer also.

It was crazy at the dispensary last week, because medical cardholders were hoping to stock up before the recreational use became legal. I only was able to get one small bag of gummies and one new small pot of THC/CBD balm (which does not get you high as it is not ingested) that I rub on my knees, ankles and lower back to reduce pain and swelling.

I’ll run out, but I don’t think I’m going to try to go back until September or so.


Why were they stocking up? Won’t it be more available now?


I mean, it will be a sudden and drastic increase in customers that will take a while to level out. I don’t get what you don’t get about that. If a bakery that typically serves 200 customers a day suddenly serves 600 customers today, you think there would be a few bumps in supply and staffing, yeah?

People could—and have—said the same thing about tobacco smoke, perfume, Indian spices and other strong smells when others are cooking, perfume/lotion, incense, etc. If living smell-free from your neighbors is that important to you, get a SFH.

Posts in the DC politics thread here have long talked about the awful scenario of living next to (or in apartments, above or below) pot smokers. Constant stench inside your own home.
