And, that would be how?

@Condor5 It was a tongue-in-cheek crack, I meant to imply that people may intentionally get convicted of crimes for free weed.

@JimG ahh, well, why commit a crime when one could more easily move to the left coast? Sometimes I take things a bit literally.

@Condor5 it would be easy enough to move, but you could still never believe a confession again.

I know deep down that's true; just wanted to see what others thought about the notion. Thanks for commenting.

I'll check it out.

Not free access; it's like anything else there, a commodity to be used in exchange for favors.

@Condor5 they have better access than i have!

@genessa sorry about that. I'm in California and we're totally legal here which, oddly enough, makes me less inclined to indulge any more.

@Condor5 i've been trying to have an endometrial biopsy to check for uterine cancer for some time now. usually i cancel and reschedule because i am ill. one time i showed up and the doc was called away for an emergency c-section! it's getting ridiculous but i am scheduled for another try monday. now, if i have it, i am not going to be given marijuana for it, even though marijuana has been shown to kill cancer cells, because i do not live in a state that will do that. if i find out it's hopeless and i'm ging to die, THEN they will give me grass. weird, huh? and i can't just pick up and move. no money, and i don't live alone anyway. so for that and a MULTITUDE of other reasons i am hoping for a negative test. but i also have a bunch of other ailments, including but not limited to diabetes (and grass is purported to lower/control blood glucose), fibromyalgia and arthritis (grass is good for pain) and ptsd (grass is calming). nope. can't have it for any of that. 'sigh

@genessa my sympathy. I simply have no understanding of why it continues to be a schedule 1 substance. That is a Dark Ages decision. I wish I could mail you some, or something.

@Condor5 let me give you that idea: in addition to the general ignorance of a man like jeff sessions, we have the lobbying power of the alcohol and tobacco industries, the main opponents to reclassification, as well as legalization. rivals, you see. it's that simple. oh yeah, and big pharma, too1

@genessa yes, you're absolutely right about that. I've often wondered why that didn't get fixed under Obama, however; I really thought he might do that by E.O., or something. Maybe he didn't want the Republican backlash.

@Condor5 there is only so much that can be done that way, and he actually was very sparing in his use of it, considering how obstructionist the republican congress was. i think with a democratic congress he could've gotten that done while holder was running justice. if i am not mistaken, lynch, whom i do not dislike (but oh, holder was so good!) had a more conservative view about that. and now, of course, don't hold your breath! (but vote! vote blue! vote blue even if it's for a blue dogcatcher!)

g

@genessa absolutely hoping for that Big Blue Wave; I'll do my part.

@Condor5 me too! me too! and not only for this purpose. it's vital!
