When John Boehner Supports Cannabis Reform, the Skunky Winds of Change Are Blowing

[MultiVerse]

How can you tell a Catholic from a Baptist? The Catholic will talk to you at the liquor store.

That joke is how the much of the south and weed work. People smoke it in private but loathe it in public.

Baptists and bootleggers, like peanut butter and jelly.

Right, I was just down that way, and, many walk-in dispensaries are still illegal in Cal. It's on a county by county basis. Where my Mom lives, in San Louis Obispo Co. you cannot walk in and buy it; rather, you place an order by phone or online and it's delivered to your residence. Takes some of the fun out of going in an learning about all the different strains, such as we do here in Portland, but, I guess it makes it fun when you wanna just chill and bake at home with a pizza and movie.

I saw a huge bill board on the 101 in South San Francisco that there are kindly folks in CA who will deliver cannabis to you at home so you can avoid those awkward encounters at the dispensary.

Yes, on Federal Land.

The feds can arrest you anywhere.

And the feds can do damn near anything within 100 miles of an international border.

I never have understood weed. Still don't.

What is it, that is it?

I don't get it. Maybe it's a brain chemistry thing.

[Danno]

You just haven't smoked enough. Have another toke, it'll come to you eventually.

[MakersTeleMark]

Nah. Meh.

The universities had been shut down. It was spring. She was a beautiful lass. "You'll never know til you try it" She said.

No pot businesses or commercial grows allowed in Nevada county, which probably has more pot smokers per capita than any other county in CA. Truckee allows delivery dispensaries, in principle, although they're still trying to figure out where they can be located.
A few legal walk in dispensaries for rec in Sacramento. The one I use has a nice gig going--they offer all kinds of holistic healing services although when you walk through the inner door all you see are display cases of cannabis. I'm guessing the holistic business is what they claim on their federal tax returns.

Nah. Meh.

Fuckin' hippies and their dope.

Weed causes this to happen to some people

While a prominent republican coming out in support of the industry is a good thing, the fact that Boehner has "evolved" on cannabis right when he can no longer help the people incarcerated due to marijuana-related crimes (but make plenty of money) is abhorrent.

While shilling for Big Tobacco, Boehner spoke out against marijuana - a significantly less harmful substance than cigarettes. But that didn't stop Boehner from becoming one of the biggest proponents of the debunked 'gateway drug' theory while serving as House Speaker.

“I am unalterably opposed to the legalization of marijuana or any other FDA Schedule I drug," he told Bloomberg back in 2011. "I remain concerned that legalization will result in increased abuse of all varieties of drugs, including alcohol.”

Isn't there a dispensary in Incline?
