Failed prohibition

[O Really]

Here's a fun statistic for you. The percentage of US adults who say they've used marijuana in 2022 is higher in OK (26.3%) than in California (24%)
So the people who "don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee" are using more than long-time-legal Crazy Cali.

BTW, you Carolina people need to step up your game.

Yeah, those houses haven't gotten any cheaper and really, the "$80,000-85,000" salary offered doesn't go all that far. But the job is in Oakland, so you'd be close enough to Useless to go over and give him live fish slaps after work.

Are koi a game fish in CA?

TN will legalize bestiality and abortion before legalizing pot.

Don't know exacctly what happened to that place in VA I'd visited. It's still closed and has been for several weeks. I recall some story on yahoo news not long ago about how VA recently did, or neglected to do something but I don't remember the details. Guess I'll just have to deal with criminals again until this is fixed. But, hell, I've been doing that for decades anyway.

I do remember the news story I read recently did say medical pot is still legal in VA but the recreatioal aspect of it had been postponed or revoked or something like that.

No, when I went there they just asked for an ID showing I was old enough. They didn't mention medical cards. If I had to guess, I'd say this one near me shut down because they figure the medical card crowd isn't large enough to make it worth it. It would be nice if the state goes through with what they said originally about recreational sale.

The dude said "VA medical card" several times as if I was . . . well, stoned. So, maybe something did change. What town is/was your local shop in?

The shop I went to is only about two hundred yards across the border. I'm not even sure if it's actually within the first incorporated town, which is Weber City (Scott County). It's on the main drag that only has convenience stores and a few churches.

In light of all the "ban TikTok" kerfuffle, I decided to actually read their privacy policy to see what data is collected and how they say it might be used. Certainly much of it seems a bit unnecessary and invasive. So since I wasn't asleep yet, I continued my journey into the weeds and looked at Instagram. Switch the names and you probably wouldn't know which was which. Assuming there are some, somebody give me an example of the Chinese government asking for and receiving personal data from TikTok. Or would it be easier to find examples of US government units getting to your data? Maybe look here: https://www.koffellaw.com/blog/can-poli ... o%20ignore.

I'm sure much more data is mined and shared by Apple and Google on everyone's smartphone and tablet and who knows who it's being shared with.

Sometimes the pols talk about the risks from data mining, which is a risk across the web IMO and as you imply. Sometimes they talk about the ability of China to steer our culture and politics like Russia does on behalf of TRE45QN and the GQP, but without having to infiltrate a third party site like NSAbook. I wonder if it isn't just about money. TikTok is a cash cow whose niche could be exploited by Americans.

I noticed yesterday that the pot shop just over the state line is now open again. Don't know if it's because lawyers waved legal wands or what the reason is.

I've not been in there since sometime last month. But will need to re supply before too long. Anyway, I'll let you know if you have to have a card next time I'm in there.

That dolphin thing reminded me of the old Dylan song Rainy Day Women #12 and 35......."everybody must get stoned."

I don't know anything about medical cards, but I wonder if you have to be a state resident to get one. Theoretically, it's more a prescription service than a licence service, and it's very common for doctors to treat out of state patients - particularly close to state lines.

I;m pretty sure that you have to be a VA resident in order to get the medical pot card. Earlier I posted that the store I and my neighbor went to is open again. Opps! Apparently not.....the other day I had occasion to pass by the place and its sign out front says "temporarily closed."

Well, another few weeks isn't such a bad thing. No idea when or if Virginia will stop whatever obstruction efforts there are. I"ve never gone to the door of that place to see if there's any sort of notice of why they closed down.

[O Really]

Well, I can see why Virginia and NC might be hesitant. After all, in the more than a decade that states have legalized recreational weed, all of the worst predictions and nightmares of "Reefer Madness" have all occurred. Oh wait.

Well, surely Virginia and NC wouldn't want any revenue from that evil weed, would they? I mean, what in the world would they need with an extra half-billion or so in revenue?
