Sure pay the state and lose your rights...

I just go to Jersey once a month now.

Using the word 'Marijuana' endorses systemic legacy racism. I personally prefer to use the word 'cannabis', but really most other names like 'weed', trees, devil's lettuce, etc. are viable substitutes in place of 'Marijuana'.

Delta 8 and all the garbage that goes along with it is a direct result to making cannabis illegal.. give people real stuff and regulate it all

Nothing you said was in any way a response to anything I said.

What are you doing to ensure kids don’t spend a single night homeless?

No, I will not "come on now." Homelessness is a failure of society that we should all be ashamed of because we are all responsible for each other. The wealthy need to pay their fair share of taxes (which they don't because of endless loopholes) and those taxes need to go to support the least advantaged among us. That's how societies work, that is the purpose of society.

No, it's not the responsibility of any one individual, it's the responsibility of all of us.

This very article says that in the past most of the other times that folks have claimed that d8/9 THC gummies were spiked with fentanyl or heroin it’s been ultimately unverifiable. Why should anyone take this seriously without a real federal investigation having been completed?

If it was legal and regulated, fentanyl wouldnt be making its way into the products. It's cross contamination or an attempt to make the products more addictive and feel stronger.

What does legalizing marijuana have to do with having fentanyl in it. They're two completely different drugs

You are getting downvoted by people who have no clue, unfortunately. Definition is likely from the McKinney-Vento Act. https://usafacts.org/articles/what-can-mckinney-vento-act-data-reveal-about-youth-homelessness/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=ND-Elections&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgOefBhDgARIsAMhqXA6XU5kuno2NFKPB7jt4l1PAGHsVxZ1kTWrrAzxmb7aiR5FKxqG56NMaAofOEALw_wcB

We, 100%, need to understand what is meant by homeless in order to understand how to help.

A few years ago, our house was damaged to the point of being uninhabitable. We had to move into temporary housing. Under McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, the kids were considered “homeless” during that time. It was a good thing, because McKinney-Vento allows kids who become homeless to continue at their present school during times of homelessness. (For instance, even though our temporary housing was zoned to a different school, our kids could keep going to their usual school, giving them a degree of normalcy in an otherwise abnormal situation). We are very fortunate, because at no point were my kids at risk in any real fashion. (I totally get that transience due to home destruction is a rare part - this is just an example that was personnel to me)

McKinney-Vento also covers children living in domestic violence shelters. We need to understand if there are resources in place to get victims of domestic violence the help they need.

It also covers when families can’t afford rent and have to move in with others. For that, adequate, affordable housing has to be available. This is always a problem. Easiest way to increase affordable housing is to build apartment complexes. Apartment complexes increase the population density and put strains on public resources (parking, schools that our governments don’t fully fund in the first place, roads (lol), etc.). All of this has to be accounted for.

This is not to downplay homelessness - just to show that homelessness doesn’t always mean what it traditionally thought of.

That’s because people are still buying from scum bag dealers. If it’s legalized and regulated you have the option to buy from reputable sources.

Why just medical? That will just keep the black market thriving for recreational users. Stop criminalizing plants.

This is what the government will use to make all delta illegal unless it comes from government-regulated sources. They will control the supply and tax the hell out of it. Just like alcohol.

E: format

Just a guess but it's probably cheaper to spike with Fentanyl than use the full Mg. dose of D8. It's almost always about the money.

This. Exactly. Plus it’s the MORNING and you see kids with backpacks standing there waiting like… only a super distracted idiot can’t take all of the signs. And if someone is that much of a distracted idiot, they aren’t safe to drive.

Nah buddy I’ve been putting kids on the school bus since 2015 and I can tell you that I live on a 40 mph road, but right across the street from a t in the road that causes most cars to have to stop at my driveway and wait for those turning left off my road or those turning out into it and people legit still fly by at 60 mph ESPECIALLY in the mornings. The bus slows and puts its lights on and then the stop sign comes out and the we wait for the stick on the front of it to fully extend. ANDDDD we are standing right there about to cross the road.

And douchebags speed by. It isn’t the fault of the bus.

I mean me personally i dont particularly like high doses of thc so D8 being about a third of the potency i can regulate my buzz a bit more. It also might be placebo but D8 feels less “speedy” than D9 for me. If i get regular flower from a shop its when they RARELY have a low thc high cbd strain. All the dispensaries around me only have high thc stuff and a lot less options in terms of type 2 flower. Theres 3 different kinds of flower for cannabis. A type 1 is a high thc strain for the people who like getting blasted. Then theres a type 2 which is a more evened out 1:1 ratio of thc to cbd. Then theres the type 3 which is just straight hemp flower, only cbd and non psychoactive cannabinoids like cbn, and cbg ect…

It’s not the responsibility of one marginally successful person to bear the burden of a child of someone else to avoid 1 day of homelessness. Come on, now

If I’m not mistaken, the one cannabis fatality in recent years was a child eating delta-8 gummies. So it would appear to not be as safe as D9.

Good Ol' Philly.

Being a millionaire doesn't mean anything these days. It just means you've saved responsibly, not that you have vast riches.
