My condolences Americans, I feel sorry for every person having to deal with weed's rancid smell.

Needs to happen over here sooner rather than later. In fact, considering the upcoming flustercluck of brexit and coronavirus aided by hyper-austerity, it would make more sense to legalize the whole fucking lot of drugs and rake in the extra tax.
I can't see it happening in England. The devolved countries maybe, but England is so conservative and uptight it's a vote-loser for the Conservatives to do anything that looks progressive.

I understand you get a more long-lasting effect from edibles (though they take longer to kick in too), and something about the preparation process for edibles amplifies the effect so the medication goes much further. Heard it can be hard to predict the dose you're going to get though. But also, mmm, cake.
Yeah dosage is based on how much of the active agent you get, and that can vary WILDLY from plant to plant, depending on the growing methods. Potency is a major issue with pot. You can have a bag of shit weed that does almost nothing for you even after smoking several joints of it. And others so thick with the agent, that you can SEE and smell the crystals on the buds before you even really open the bag. That's the kind of shit that you and friends take a handful of tokes from, and melt into the couch for the rest of the night. So since there isn't any standard growing method currently, and no single strain of the plant used, yeah it can be something of a grab bag of results.

Eh, like my above post, the smell can vary from plant type. There is a reason some of it is called Skunk weed. But others aren't as strong of a smell. I find the smell of pot quite enjoyable really, well, some strains that is.

I like the way vendors describe different weed variety smells: 'Hints of pine and berries', 'Earthy and strong', 'Citrus notes, underlying hints of chocolate'.

It's weed mate, it smells like weed.

I think the unlit ones smell quite different, but once it's burning, it's weed.

Yes, burning weed smell versus just the plant itself, smell very different. I just mean that the smell of the unburnt version at least, can also vary wildly, depending on the strain. Some stink more than others.

I suppose any cannabis user would say that?

I must been so unlucky to only have encountered "Skunk weed" in the past 20 years of my life then.

When I was in my teens I used to really hate the smell of weed, genuinely reminded me of freshly trodden-in dogshit. These days I could take it or leave it -- it's strong but not offensive to me. Miles better than tobacco smoke though, bleurgh!

Disliked it in my teens, twenties and still do in my thirties, I'm not sure if I'd be happy or disgusted if I ever acclimated to it.

The only smoking related smell that I somewhat enjoy is that of cigars, but it's been over a decade since I last was in the vicinity of a person smoking a cigar, so who knows, I might be disgusted by it now.

It's not a smell I've been around enough to say I'm acclimated to it, it just doesn't bother me anymore. Cigars are proper rank though, like someone's smoking fishing oil filtered through the cat tray.

Though you're more likely to see someone smoking weed in the street than cigars, I guess. Can't even think of the last time I saw someone smoke a cigar actually.

Also a very different smell when pulled through a bong or smoked 'dry' in a joint. Bongsmoke is sickly sweet.

Also vaporizers vary widely in smells. Julius Caesar for example smells kind of like pine while Rocket Fuel is more earthy. Multiple indica-dominant kush and diesel strains have very sour smells when vaporized.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
House only allowed the vote because they need a news cycle win after Democrats' dogshit performance in the election, as something to jingle the car keys in the American people's face before this equally dogshit stimulus package hit the press, and because it'll never, ever get past the Senate. If it stood a snowball's chance at passing the Senate and getting signed into law, the bill never would have made it out of subcommittee.
Holy fuck you are cynical. The democrats could pass 'free health care and a handjob' and you would still whine about it.

Some people aren't happy unless they're miserable.
I think its more that they view anything done that is good as a ploy for something. They are the kinda people who view donation as a selfish act since people feel good doing it so it can't really be good.

Neat.

Although i was told it'll go into trash, because there's a tortoise in the senate.
IDK if it's some weird american tradition, but k.
