What makes you say that? I've not seen a peep from Joe about this. As recently as November he was implying it's a gateway drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack 12 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Well, according to NORML, African-Americans are arrested on marijuana-related charges at nearly four times the rate of whites, and I don't believe that's because they consume it at a higher per capita rate. I think it's directly correlated to the approach police take with black Americans. If Biden is truly seeking reform in policing, this is an issue he must address, Hunter's history notwithstanding.

In 2010, 14% of Blacks and 12% of whites reported using marijuana in the past year; in 2001, the figure was 10% of whites and 9% of Blacks. In every year from 2001 to 2010, more whites than Blacks between the ages of 18 and 25 reported using marijuana in the previous year. In 2010, 34% of whites and 27% of Blacks reported having last used marijuana more than one year ago — a constant trend over the past decade. In the same year, 59% of Blacks and 54% of whites reported having never used marijuana. Each year over the past decade more Blacks than whites reported that they had never used marijuana.

He was expressing "his thoughts", and it is those thoughts to which I replied. And still, you offer nothing of substance to refute my statement. The study Orange quoted is from 2010. For those for whom math is hard, that was ten years ago, not seven. Since then, eleven states have legalized or decriminalized marijuana possession, and yet two years ago, this: About 84% of the more than 2,000 marijuana offenders who were federally sentenced in 2018 were people of color, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Only 11% were white, even though whites make up more than 60% of the U.S. population. How do you explain this discrepancy if, as your childish responses suggest, you actually believe the police are even handed in their approach to enforcing the law?

Moskon Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I know there are legal marijuana retail spaces in West Hollywood that have interesting art space. Sometimes I go to dispensary hollywood and buy myself some marijuana. It is legal to smoke marijuana in California. Therefore, sometimes I allow myself such weakness as smoking marijuana at home.

Moskon Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I love it! Smoking cbd flower helps me with anxiety and recovery after a workout, takes away inflammation very quick. Also I am a marijuana user, but sometimes I don’t want the “high”, I just want the medicinal benefits. Also some strains of marijuana make my anxiety worse and in that case I like to mix the hemp flower with the marijuana. There are a lot of great hemp growers now that cultivate plants that contain 16%-20% cbd, and that helps way more than a cbd strain that has 10% cbd. Organastix is a brand that sells flower in 3.5g jars and 1g pre-rolls. There are 3 strains currently to choose from Lifter, Suver Haze and Sour Space Candy, more being added in the future. Also uses Hemp CBD Flower to cook and make your own edibles or tinctures can be fun and cost effective. Organastix also offers flower in ounces, but you have to call to place that order, it’s not listed on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
