Recreational Marijuana Sales Started in Oregon October 1

I just saw a facebook article (real trustworthy I know) that said that they ran the "first ever" test and found MJ did not impair driving.Will be interesting to see the followupEnjoy

That's when you drive at a safe 5 mph ...

Yep, I am skeptical but this sheds a little more on it:

First of Its Kind Study Finds Virtually No Driving Impairment Under the Influence of Marijuana
When taken in moderate amounts, cannabis seems to cause no significant driving impairment.

​

The first study to analyze the effects of cannabis on driving performance found that it caused almost no impairment. The impairment that it did cause was similar to that observed under the influence of a legal alcohol limit.

​

Researchers at the University of Iowa’s National Advanced Driving Simulator carried out the study, sponsored by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Institute of Drug Abuse, and the Office of National Drug Control Policy

​

"Once in the simulatora 1996 Malibu sedan mounted in a 24-feet diameter domethe drivers were assessed on weaving within the lane, how often the car left the lane, and the speed of the weaving. Drivers with only alcohol in their systems showed impairment in all three areas while those strictly under the influence of vaporized cannabis only demonstrated problems weaving within the lane.

​

Drivers with blood concentrations of 13.1 ug/L THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana, showed increased weaving that was similar to those with a .08 breath alcohol concentration, the legal limit in most states. The legal limit for THC in Washington and Colorado is 5 ug/L, the same amount other states have considered.

​

As expected, there was impairment in all areas when alcohol and cannabis were mixed. But cannabis itself, when taken in moderate amounts, seems to cause no significant driving impairment.

So it's not that there is no effect just that moderate use is similar in effect to moderate alcohol use.That would certainly help Medical Marijuana users be able to dose for their medical condition and not have to have a designated driver (especially if the use the non-psychotropic oils)Enjoy

Indeed, reaction is faster from relaxed than from tense, but you also need alert. And you can be impaired from shear exhaustion, even when loaded up on caffeine. Been there.Enjoy

I do, but people throw things ...

Try boron applied along baseboards and certainly under your sink.Make a solution with water and mop it on or use a spray bottle. It may also alleviate the itching.20-mule team borax is made from boron.EnjoyEdited by RAZD, : .

Borax has also been scientifically called sodium borate, sodium tetra borate, and disodium tetraborate. Simply put, borax is a boron compound, mineral, and a salt of boric acid which most often comes in a powdered form. Consequently, Boraxo is powdered, white and somewhat grainy and will dissolve in water but only after a long period of exfoliating dirty hands. The powdered form of Borax has the ability to emulsify and trap dirt and oil.[1]

The "salt of" means it is a different compound, where sodium is added reducing the acid quality I wouldn't.Boraxo however can also be used as regular soap, good at exfoliation, etc and I find my skin feels nice and soft after using it. It was recommended to me when I worked with fiberglass which can be very very very itchy.If nothing else it may provide relief from the itchy feeling.Takes the grease off my hands after working on the bike too.EnjoyEdited by RAZD, : .

So Faith should ask her neighbor if his plants have such signs.One of my growers got infested and he burned his whole crop and threw out the containers that he used to grow in, and then started over.Sort of a scorched earth solution, but one thing he likes to do is be able to guarantee to his users that there are no infestations on his grow -- we are talking people with weakened immune systems and struggling health already, and we don't need to add stress. What, you never heard about living better through chemistry? In the meantime the boraxo may sooth the itchy feeling whatever the cause.Enjoy

Last night, Canada voted in Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party in a general election -- a move that will have outstanding implications for drug policy reform in the country.

​

The election puts an end to Conservative Party Prime Minister Stephen Harper's nine-year rule, which was marked by a repressive approach to drugs, including a commitment to rolling out mandatory minimum sentences, pushback to effective supervised injection sites that reduce the harms of drug use, and strong opposition tomarijuana reform. In contrast, the Liberal Party has promised to legalize and regulate marijuana and Trudeau has expressed support for harm reduction and the expansion of supervised injection sites across the country.

​

If Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party follow through with their promise to legalize and regulate marijuana, Canada will become the second country in the world to have legalized all aspects of the marijuana market - including production, sale and consumption - following Uruguay's historic move to do so in 2013. In the United States, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Washington D.C. have legalized marijuana, with more states set to vote on regulated marijuana in 2015 and 2016 elections.
