Odd damn thing, THC gummies are legal in Ga, so is infused tobacco, but not weed.
I don't seem to be getting all the medical benefits from the gummies, however.

Check the THC %
They might be selling you what is equivalent to a bud light. Or a wine cooler
4%. When you want 40%
 
As a recovered alcoholic I need to avoid any chemicals that will alter the way I feel.
I have taken opioids prescribed for post surgery, but I am extremely careful about sticking to the mandated dosage and stop as soon as I don’t need them anymore.
Medical marijuana for me would be like a loaded gun pointed at my head.
 
Try an end around
Contact your health insurance provider and ask if they cover drug counseling

Talk to your co HR and see if the policy for a positive test is termination BUT. Can remain if you attend a drug counseling session
We were tested every 6 mths and my welder had it worked out to piss hot then go talk to a nice lady would only be off for a day
Any substance on the list will get us 30 days in the spin dry. Doesn't matter if it's legal or not. After the spin dry, we can return to work, subject to weekly random tests for 12 years. A second hot test in 12 years is instant termination. A year after termination for a hot test, an employee can return as a new hire with no seniority. My company doesn't screw around...
 
Late to the party, but I would say tea.
 
The Socialist Democrats are being pretty slick about pushing recreational marijuana.
The more stoners there are, the easier it will be to push thru their agendas, and get even more people to vote for them.

Medical marijuana is a deliberate step towards that goal. We have seen a number of states already go from medical to pot for everyone.

I'm really torn on this thought, because I have some friends from college who have become stereotypical stoner wastes of space who have totally locked onto the government welfare teat and will be happy as long as they have their weed and TV. I can see what damage that is possible.

On the other hand I have some friends and neighbors who have been helped immensely by medical marijuana. One was a cancer patient who was able to get some pain and nausea relief making his last days with his family more meaningful. Another has horrible neuropathy (from chemo) and the weed works 500% better for 1/4 of the monthly cost his other meds he was using to treat it. The last one was on opiates for pain and was becoming a vegetable before switching to mm. He's gotten his life back and is able to enjoy time with his grandkids and volunteer in the community again.

I think anything that gives us more personal involvement in our health care and less dependence on big pharma is a good thing. IMHO it's up to each of us to know our limits with any potentially mind altering substance. I don't drink as I tend to break out in handcuffs when I do, but I keep ketamine in my medicine cabinet and use it 2-3 times a week to treat my PTSD. I treat it with a very healthy respect!
 
I’ve learned to live with my PTSD.
So has my wife - she hasn’t slept in the same room with me for 30 years.
 
I am just going to make one comment. It is NOT the government's business and never has been what you put into your body.
I personally will never go back to taking xanax for my anxiety issues and will move to another country if they ever make it illegal here again

oh and one more thing, if they ever have a conservative running that says he will make it illegal, I will do something I have never done in my life and vote for the liberal
 
I saw that Florida, beginning July 1st, 2023, no longer demands a concealed weapons permit. One criteria I found interesting is that it you ever applied for a medical marijuana card, you are not allowed to conceal a handgun. How many back in the day now regret picking up that cool pot card?
 
The why is not the issue for me. The fact that it remains a controlled substance federally means that If I want to keep my CCL and the ability to buy guns I stay away from its use. Getting a prescription is a great way to get caught when buying a gun.
Exactly this for me, too. I won’t use it for the fact Hubby and I conceal carry and it is federally illegal.

Same in Ohio, a medical MJ card is a disqualifier for concealed carry. "Constitutional: or CHL". It remains a Schedule don't do that drug.

I will exercise the 5th on any past present or future use.
