Despite Legal Fuzziness, Supplement Companies Crowd into Cannabidiol Space

Post by MachineGhost »

Pretty cool!  I can't wait to try.

Why not just take a vacation to Washington or Colorado and eat a legal pot brownie?

Why mess with derivatives and imitations? Just do the real thing. ;)

Because this won't get you high, and some people don't appreciate that benefit. :-)

I was watching a show about the marijuana business in Colorado and was surprised by the prices. I think it was something like $9 for one joint. I can buy a six pack of beer cheaper than that.  I guess the days of the "dime bag" are long gone (that was $10 for an ounce or so for those of you not around in the 60's).

Yeah, I've heard the black market for weed in Colorado is still going fairly strong due to the relatively high price of the legal stuff.

Wow, that's pricey.  Was it really $10/ounce in the 60's?  In the early 80's, a dime bag was $10, but it was less than a quarter ounce ... about enough for 10 joints. 

I only know that from the internet.
I thought you were going to say you only know that from the articles you bought the skin mags for.  Now I know you are best buds with the inventor of the internet, you gave it away by that 80's reference when the net was an infant .... oh, did you read that Bill did not inhale?  ;)
