Marijuana now legal in New Jersey

[BBrown]

I don’t smoke pot. Just not a fan of being high.
But there are some significant medical benefits for certain people. Parkinson’s patients for instance. Also helps people on chemo regain their appetite. For pain reduction, it’s tough to disagree that marijuana is infinitely safer than narcotic pain killers. I haven’t looked into it, but I’d assume that the vape cartridges have all sorts of crap in them. And that may make it
more dangerous that flower. But both alcohol and cigarettes have some known and severe risks and you can buy them just about anywhere.

Not sure what is in the cartridges but you can vape flower as well or wax/resin. The wax can be ridiculously loaded with THC upwards of 70%

Enough of this silliness. Who is society to make a plant illegal? And I don’t even drink.

Be careful what you wish for.

We have a condo in Ocean City (New Jersey) and they are going ballistic down there. Among other crazy things, this insane law basically allows minors to deal, smoke, and drink on the Boardwalk all they want with little if any threat of police intervention. Under the new law, officers are not allowed to ask a minor about possession, EVEN IF THERE IS MARIJUANA, CANNABIS, HASHISH, OR AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IN PLAIN SIGHT! Doing so leaves the officer open to being charged criminally with violating a person’s civil rights.

Because these kids, AT WORST, would only receive a warning on their first offense, with NO write up or notification to their parents, they can be used by unscrupulous adult dealers to sell as much junk as they want.

Want your 10 or 11 year old kid working for a junkie? You can now send him or her to Jersey.

I also asked the question previously in this thread about driving, and how just the smell of alcohol coming out of the car window was always a deterrent to me from drinking and driving. Well, with pot, in New Jersey, that is now off the table. Under the new law in Jersey, the smell of marijuana or hashish, either burnt or raw, is no longer by itself “reasonable” suspicion to stop or search a person or their vehicle. Again. Doing that leaves an officer open to criminal prosecution.

Right now, Ocean City is a dry town. That has kept the riffraff out. We can see Atlantic City in the distance on the Boardwalk, roughly 20 miles north, but the two cities are like night and day.

Atlantic City is a sh!thole full of junkies. We have prided ourselves in Ocean City as being called “America’s Greatest Family Resort.” Remaining "Dry" has preserved that title for the most part.

Now, this braindead new law takes away our police force's ability to enforce the laws so people aren't throwing up on the Boardwalk or stumbling into baby carriages. Our Mayor and City Council are 1,000 % against this new law, and are going to join with Cape May County officials to see if we can get an exemption from prosecution for our police forces so they can do their jobs.

Except for Ocean City and a couple of other places, Jersey beach towns are already dumps compared to places like South Carolina and Florida. Let's hope this new law doesn't destroy the good Jersey beach towns that are still left.

I built all the cell sites in OC. You're welcome.

The good thing about legalization of marijuana is standardization. You know how much THC is in what you but. You know what is in what you buy. Not the case before everything was legalized.

 

[AWS1022]

I don't really believe that. If you are inhaling particles into your lungs, it can't be good. Just like air pollution. I may be better, or it may be worse, but it isn't good.

Not to mention smoking cigarettes doesn’t make you dumb like using MJ does.

This gets me super pumped. Growing and dialing in different strands will be SO much fun:

Another lawmaker is taking a shot at letting people grow their own marijuana now that New Jersey has legalized the drug.

Sen. Vin Gopal, D-Monmouth, introduced a bill (S3582) Monday that would allow anyone 21 and older to grow up to six marijuana plants at home, with a maximum of 12 plants per household. Medical patients could grow up to 10 plants.

Not all MJ makes you “dumb” either.

For you MJ Connoisseurs......
I don't know much about the plant and the amount of unit production from one plant. Found an article (below), do you believe it’s over or under estimated in the amount of smokes a plant can produce?

How many joints does one ounce of marijuana yield?​

Answer: Approximately 84 cigarette sized joints.
In the two states which recently passed legalization measures (Colorado and Washington), they allow for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana. And Colorado also allows individuals to cultivate up to six plants.
1 ounce, 6 plants … doesn’t sound like much.
Yet, based on commonly used references which are presented in court to defend clients charged with trafficking:

• 1 ounce of marijuana yields approximately 84 joints
  • 1 joint, at minimum, results in 4 hours of intoxication.
  • 84 joints x 4 hours of intoxication each = 336 hours high per ounce of marijuana.
  • 336 hours = 14 days of continual high per ounce.
• And, those 6 plants?
  • According to the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws (NORML), one plant yields between .4 to .54 pounds of marijuana.
  • With 16 ounces per pound, that means 6 plants = 38.4 to 51.84 ounces of marijuana.
  • 6 plants of marijuana = 538 to 726 days of continual high.

I have absolutely no idea. LOL.
I have heard from friends that some of the hydroponic grow cabinets can produce a more dense bud that’s pretty potent.
I’ve also had the buds from those cabinets and have absolutely zero complaints.

So, what's your excuse?

Boy, that’s funny....did you come up with that all by yourself or did your mom help you?

What could go wrong?

What could go wrong? Plenty but I would wager a lot less than the sale of alcohol.

 

[SEPATOPTEN]

just what we need. more ways to get wasted and ruin your life.

Its been around forever. Nobody is going to smoke unless they want to. Drinking is the only thing that has destroyed any people I hung around with in my life. Nobody in my crowd got hooked on heavy drugs but almost all of them were smoking plenty of Pot. Pretty much every one has had a successful life.

You are really lucky my friend. Where I’m from it is illegal and it frustrates me since I can’t live without weed. All my life I used to buy weed and there always was a chance that I would end up in jail and that is why I immigrated. Now I’m being able to buy whatever I want easily. All my life I used to have constant anxiety attacks and weed helps me. Now I buy all of my CBD flowers on https://www.tillmanstranquils.com/product-category/cbd-flower/ since it is the best place. My favorite is the blueberry gelato hemp flower. If anyone is looking for an amazing product, then you should check it out.
