      I think a lot of them are surprised because they can buy cannabis legally in their state and they haven’t thought more about it than that.

      A lot of people are not especially politically aware.

    I’m one of the four in ten I guess that isn’t surprised, just disappointed.

      Yeah do they mean “surprised” as in they didn’t know, or surprised as in they are disappointed it hasn’t happened yet?

      Yeah it’s a vague question for a poll. One can interpret it in a few ways and I’d count myself part of the four as well. The US progresses as if it’s walking through quicksand, so it’s really unsurprising to me.

    It was legalized federally in Canada in 2018, so it’ll probably be around 2028 when it’s legalized federally in the US, just like it took a decade for the US to legalize gay marriage after Canada did it.

      Lets see how long we’ll get to keep it with a MAGA SCOTUS majority. Kim Davis already started the process to get it up to them and Thomas will definitely be a no.

    THCA is legal in all but a handful of states that have specifically outlawed it. Eight horses hemp, flow gardens, and plenty of other online vendors. It will show up in your mailbox with no issue. I’m in Texas and i get an ounce delivered on subscription every month. If you prefer vapes to flower, check out secret garden.

      The problem is you still fail drug tests for work or for certain medications (like adderall) when consuming THCA. I’m lucky and my job doesn’t test and I know when my doctor will test me. But it’s not a comfortable feeling knowing it could be used against you in a bunch of scenarios.

      Playing the will this bite me game with a drug most of us agree should just be legal by now sucks.

          If you take certain scheduled medications, like Adderall, your doctor or (more likely) your insurance provider can require a drug test before renewing the prescription.

            My doctor okayed THC use for me (to wind down at night), so i test positive for that + adderall. Ask, it might be okay

            Its 100% crazy bullshit that we’re tested like this

      Because the dumb system of rescheduling just works this way.

      The DEA shouldn’t even be in the bureaucratic pathway. They’re cops, and they shouldn’t have a say in what counts as medicine. The FDA is far from perfect, but they are the scientists.

        I think the DEA is the only entity at the Federal level that cares about marijuana. Drug warriors are gonna drug war.
