I agree, its a great report, however, I do not agree with KIDS smoking it. We have to be a little more realistic here. Some of us use this as a "medicine" and some of us just to get high, either way, we know that it is NOT good for our longs at all. There is 4 times more tar in a joint that there is in a cigarette. Do we really want our KIDS to be smoking this?

what is your opinion on children w/autism eating cannabis?

Angela,

Where have you been, tons of news in Colorado as of late, missing your take on the madness.

Yes We Cannabis!

Hey-

I had a "legal emergency" at our house in MA. Before this happened I started on my way back to CO for the winter, and things have been a little chaotic to say the least. I plan on putting another episode out this weekend.

Thanks for checking on me :-)

Ohhhh Lordy, Breck went and did it. They Legalized Marijuana for adults over 21. Great news on a day filled with Bad news for our fear mongering Board of Health.

There's nothing better than CO justice! God, I love this state :-)

[microsworld]

Much better. There are so many ways to consume THC, anything from candy to brownies. You name it. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are good things and bad things about cannabis as an user myself. I know the winders the works in cancer patients and I have read articles in how it help kids w/autism, I'm not against it at all, in fact, I believe that the DOCs should consider this as an alternative to Prozac for kids w/autism or any other disorder for that matter.

funny, the amount invested on the DEA to control Marijuana's black market went up a lot since the 80s, so did the consumption and the amount in the streets. for every cop out in the streets, in the Houston area, there's 3 dealers. and for every pound busted, 20 more are crossing the border. but they dont think about it, they'll just push it and push it. and not realize that they can't do anything to stop people consuming.
