Do I need a joint?

Do I need a joint?

If legal, I'd probably smoke again. Always amazed me that we made a plant illegal.

Yes, this.

Yes, this.

All kinds of plants are illegal. Besides invasive plants, here are just a few because of substance abuse: Salvia, khat, cannabis, coca, iboga, opium poppy, peyote, jimson weed, and psilocybin.

Bob, opium isn't illegal! You just have to have your doctor tell the government it's OK!

Opium poppy (the plant) is illegal to grow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaver_somniferum Of course, so is marijuana--even in Colorado and Washington.

Most opioids prescribed are synthetic, you know. That way their strength is better regulated.

Sometimes, you need a good lap joint.

There is much wrong with your supposition.

For just one example, as I type this, psilocybin (a compound and not a living organism) is naturally occurring/growing in mushrooms in cow pastures with no manipulation from any man. What are you proposing? The farmer/rancher be arrested? The cow be arrested?

The mushroom is not illegal. It is naturally occurring and GOD-made. Human possession of the mushrooms may be illegal in some parts, but the mushroom certainly isn't illegal. Still totally asinine, especially when you consider distilled spirits are encouraged as revenue generators.

As just one example, the notion that marijuana (or most any plant at this point) is beyond human manipulation. For fun, try Googling teosinte. Marijuana was God-made but none of that strain exists.

Now alcohol is legal because we legalized it. The mushroom is illegal because we made it illegal. If that farmer is caught with it he will get arrested. Peyote is illegal for most because we made it so. If you can't fathom that then no one can help you there. You can argue whether or no it should be legal but that doesn't make it legal, all of a sudden.

Actually, the changes in the law in Colorado legalizing recreational marijuana sale and use also legalized the growing of recreational marijuana by commercial growers for sale and by individuals for personal use.

Actually, any marijuana is still illegal. The federal gov't is just not prosecuting it right now.

Precisely. I've also often wondered, but not to the point of looking it up, how the growers and the distributors can be banked without serious money laundering. Bob?

When did the mushroom, that ubiquitously preeminent exemplar of the singularly noble Kingdom of Decomposers, become a plant?

They can't. It's still a cash business but there are some groups trying to skirt that. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/17/busin ... banks.html A few small credit unions are setting up accounts but they still can't process electronic payments.

Technically, you got a point there, pardner . . .

But this here's the wild West and we got our own laws.
(Ain't you been lis'nin to Cliven Bundy?)

We got us sixshooters & coach guns.Them Feds come down here and try to stop our cows from growin' pot on Forest Service and BLM land and we'll put put a load of buckshot up their arse.

So they're sitting on huge stacks of cash. Daft.

Damn it, Bob, don't be a dullard. You know I was being goofy.
