States should be able to do what they want for these types of issues.
Legal weed or not
Legal whores or not
Legal abortion or not
Legal gay marriage or not
If the state you are living in doesn’t suit you, go to one that does.
You know, on this, we actually agree. One thing high on my to do list if I ever win the lottery is to buy a humble little house, somewhere in CO, within 3 miles of at least 2 420 shops.
I just moved back to Florida after 3 years in Colorado. The legal weed is very nice and the dispensaries are very well run. Colorado was very cool....just too cold for me.
I routinely visit relatives in CO. And yeah, the dispensaries are extremely well run. For anyone who is scared that kids will get their hands on marijuana because of the dispensaries, has obviously never been in one.
The thing I like the most about them is how knowledgeable the bud tenders are, and the variety of smoke you can find in just one store. It's kinda nice to know exactly what kind you are getting, as well as being able to know what the effects are in advance. Beats the hell out of smoking Mexican brick.
100%! They verify your ID and you are registered and on camera. No way someone underage with a fake ID gets in.
Also, the staff is always cool and willing to discuss, as you said,
The standardization has to limit the overdoses.
I love a strain called Skunkberry, it’s a hybrid Sat/In....60/40 Sat. Phenomenal weed. I got a friggin ounce for $120 on a 4/20 sale. The wife and I used that same oz for like 3 months.
Also love the chocolates. They are super regulated. 10 mg doses, 10 doses per bar. 10 mg is the most you want as a first timer....maybe even half to see how it affects you.
Hitting 1 chocolate on the way to Red Rocks and 1 more just when you park is perfect for the show!
I like the standardization of the edibles as well.
I remember the first time my roomie and I tried edibles. We had gotten some chocolate bon bons (100 mcg per bon bon), and decided to see what would happen. Well, my roomie and I both knew that we had zero experience with edibles, so on the first time, I babysat for her. She at the whole thing in about 4 or 5 bites, said it was really good, and about an hour later, she said she was starting to feel it.
She was stoned for the next 36 hours.
We figured out after that to get candies and bars that were easier to break apart and dose with than bon bons. But, I gotta admit, eating the whole thing was a pretty fun day for myself as well.
And, ya gotta admit, warm showers while stoned on a really good Sativa is a wonderful thing.
