REEFER MADNESS!!!!!!

The cartels have no power over the marijuana market in the NW; the flow of pot coming up from independent California farmers, as well as local growers, is constant, high quality, and cheap. Nobody buys the crappy Mexican stuff... why would they? Plus, it grows so readily here that if it were legal, many people would simply grow their own.

I'd just like to point out that the amount of THC and cannabinoids a pot plant can produce is defined in the DNA of the plant. Strong pot is simply pot from good strains that has been well grown with optimal conditions. Dutch weed, from the best strains with the best care have optimal THC levels. The Cartels are NOT going to do better.

SCIENCE, BITCHES!*

My understanding was that the strongest weed in the world actually came from Skagit Valley (in Washington), although that may be outdated information.

Could be, I dunno... I guess I should have said that any weed from good DNA strains with optimal care will produce optimal THC levels... but nothing beyond those levels. Certainly through cross breeding, you can take weaker strains and strengthen them. From my experience (and maybe I'm just crazy) all the 'strong' weed I've ever come across has been from small local operations. Hydroponics and light requirements really tend to preclude large grow jobs. From the people I've talked to and from my own experience, you have to trade off quality and quantity. I can't imagine a cartel is gonna try for quality over quantity.

Additionally, speaking as someone who has smoked regularly for 10 years... super strong weed is still not something I want to smoke every day. That shit will paralyze a horse. Neither I nor anyone I know wants to be that level of stoned. If the government sanctioned what we generally call kine bud, I don't know a single person that would pay black market prices for 'higher grade' weed.

And as for the idea of tolerance... I presume that there must be some studies that support it... however, I have yet to meet anyone that can't get stoned on middies or merch weed, and that includes guys that are going on 20 years of serious smoking. To think that there would be enough of a black market demand to support 'super weed' seems absurd to me.

In fact, I'd say its probably like alcohol. I've had moonshine before, not from a cartel, but because some good old boy has a still hidden somewhere in the woods and cranks of a few jars for him and his friends. I could see some home growers raising White widow or something like that for their friends and special occasions... but I've never seen anyone sit down and chug moonshine as their drink of choice. Maybe they pass the jar around once or twice and then drink beer or something like that. I think pot would be similar. Maybe a bowl of "really nice stuff my friend grew" and then legal weed after that.

RWHN, if there was sound research proving that religion was harmful to children, and society as a whole,  would you support government regulation of religion?

Considering the 1st amendement of the U.S. Constitution, it's kind of a non-starter. 

Drugs are a religion, man.

You just proved the war on drugs unconstitutional, bro.

Anything that comes from the "Heritage Foundation", a far-right holding pen for poor, put upon Republicans with degrees think tank is going to be batting at at least 60-70% bullshit and lies, sometimes higher.  The problem is they will seed occasional truths, or half-truths, or things which are almost true but they've purposefully misunderstood and rephrased so it sounds like the true thing it is referring to but actually isnt, just to fuck with your head.  As such, they're not worth the effort, and at the same time slightly more accurate than the pro-drug sites which claim smoking pot makes you more intelligent and the Fundie sites which claim smoking pot makes you more open to demonic possession.

Almost there!

No way. WA has a terrible climate for outdoor growing, which is why indoor growing was pioneered there. Some of the best pot in the world comes from the Puget Sound area, but it's all grown in someone's basement/attic/trailer.

That it was all indoors I knew.  Pretty much all the best weed is indoors though,  you get more control of the factors that go into growing it that way.

[East Coast Hustle]

True dat. But once you move your operation indoors, there's no geographical element to how potent the weed ends up being. I can grow just as strong a plant in a good hydro setup in a basement in Indianapolis as I can in a garage in Seattle.

Speaking of legalizing marijuana...

And the tax revenues don't go towards prevention or treatment.

Oh, it's ON like Tommy Chong!
