Legalize
We're going deep into the weeds of the marijuana legalization conversation.
Death to Dispensaries
The news from Premier Wynne's office came as a collective kick in the shins to many in the fight for cannabis freedom, and sounded a shrill warning to other independent dispensaries and retail outlets across Canada.

What You Need to Know Before You Head to the Dispensary
You have done your research. You have talked to your doctor. You may even have a medical marijuana card in your hand. Congratulations! You are officially ready to take the next step and head to your local dispensary, the general term used to refer to any location where a patient or consumer can legitimately and safely purchase and access cannabis.
Ryan JennemannPublished 7 years ago in Potent Talking to Your Doctor About Medical Marijuana
For more than half a century, Americans have been told one mistruth after the other about marijuana. However, as the country is becoming more educated about cannabis, what it is, and how the plant can play a role in improving overall health and wellness, Americans’ understanding of marijuana is changing.

Legalization has been making a huge move in the right direction lately. More states than ever have decriminalized the use of medical marijuana, and around half a dozen have actually decriminalized the recreational use of cannabis as well.

Medical marijuana is one of the biggest topics in the medical world today, and it's also gaining more traction than ever when it comes to local elections. People are now beginning to vote for politicians who have pro-marijuana beliefs, and they're also voicing their opinion at pro-cannabis rallies.

Entities of commerce often make strange bedfellows. A great example of how marijuana’s intersection with the wider culture yields surprising synergies between products happened in Los Angeles over the weekend when Netflix, the streaming-TV media giant, opened a pop-up store at a local medical-marijuana dispensary to sell various strains of marijuana as a promotion specifically for one of its newest shows and for other Netflix shows. “Netflix and chill,” indeed.
Michael Eric RossPublished 7 years ago in PotentShould 'Magic Mushrooms' Be Legalised?
Magic Mushrooms aren't always the easiest drug in the world to get hold of. As a seasonal drug, Magic Mushrooms can be somewhat elusive for those who've never been hunting for them before. You only get a few chances in a given year to find them, and if you don't know somebody who can take you to a good spot there's a good chance you'll never actually find any.

Whether it's ethical or not, marijuana is still not legalized in the United States. This means that cannabis users, even those who use it for medical reasons, are not safe from arrest on a national level. Though it may be decriminalized in some states, the truth is that it only takes one wrong step to end up being in legal trouble.

So, I've been off the air, sorta, for a few weeks. My lovely wife, Debbie, has been feeling crappy. Possibly her hiatal hernia acting up bad, or gallstones. Still trying to find a specialist that doesn't change his/her mind every other day. At first, she went to the Dr's office thinking hernia. But one doc said it could be gallstones. But then, they sent her a form about putting in the "Bravo" pill in her esophagus to check for GERD. It's not GERD! There's no reflux! Friggin idiots trying to fish more money from the insurance company. They're supposed to be doing an ultrasound for the stones first! Not implant this Bravo pill in her esophagus and then have it removed 30 days later. Ignoramus!

Once considered a “gateway drug”, the truth about marijuana is clearly starting to overcome the stigmatism that has long been associated with its use. The truth is that marijuana is 100 times safer than many medications with severe side effects that are prescribed in its place every day. It has several medical benefits which could hinder the profitability of one of America’s biggest money making industries: pharmaceuticals. As found in a study conducted by W. David Bradford and his daughter, Ashley Bradford, researchers at the University of Georgia (washingtonpost), there is concrete evidence found in the significant decrease in numbers of pharmaceuticals being prescribed to Medicare D patients in states which have legalized the use of medical marijuana (healthaffairs). Suggestively, elderly patients who receive Medicare are the least likely to engage in medical marijuana activities. So, it can then be concluded that on a larger scale if the population of young adults who are more open to treatment with cannabis were considered, the number of prescriptions would drop even more. Therefore, if/when marijuana becomes legal country wide, the effect it could have on the pharmaceutical industry overall would weigh in around $4 billion per year. On the other hand, as seen in Colorado throughout 2016, marijuana sales could bring in over $1 billion per state, totaling in excess of an estimated $50 billion annually from the new market. That means that the country would see a loss of $4 billion from a harmful business in exchange for a $50 billion profit from a safer alternative. It seems like common sense. Unfortunately, it’s not so simple.
