The bill was approved by the House last week and the Senate on Wednesday.

It now goes to Gov. Phil Scott, a Republican. Last year, Scott vetoed a similar bill. But he has indicated he will sign the current measure, according to the Associated Press.

Vermont would become the first state to legalize cannabis through the state legislature instead of a ballot initiative.

The timing is almost perfect for me. I have a medical marijuana license which needs to be signed off on by my doctor annually. Last week she told me that lawyers for the health center she works at had instructed all doctors to stop signing those forms for patients. She told me it was because of that stupid garden gnome, Jeff Sessions' comments about cracking down on recreational weed. My license is up for renewal in April and this bill goes into effect in July. I already have a grow room set up and the medical marijuana dispensary I visit sells clones, so I should be good to go.

You're welcome. Place is the bomb dot com.

Also. IDK what you actually know about growing. But if you're new, keep it simple. Its just tomatoes basically. Easy af if you dont screw around too much.

Sure would be nice if shit would just go legal everywhere. Not being able to grow BLOOOOOOOWS

Thanks for the link!
I've done a lot of research, but I still worry that I'll fuck it up. I don't exactly have a green thumb.

Keeping it simple like most gardening shit. Watch PH like a fucking hawk.

You know what I hate most about all these US states legalizing weed?
That The Netherlands is being overtaken left and right in this area because of the conservative shitheads in our government. Contrary to popular belief, weed is not legal in The Netherlands

People still see Amsterdam as weed-heaven, but I'm pretty sure that will change as more and more US states legalize marijuana. It's not that I care about weed-tourists or actually want them here, nor do I use weed myself, but the whole weed production and distribution system is hidden in a world of illegality and crime, often with a great disregard to safety of others. If Dutch legislation would legalize the production, distribution and ownership of weed then they'd get that out of illegality and be able to manage it and get taxes over weed sales.

that's because you chose decriminalisation, the preferred policy of fence-sitters since forever

legal or illegal: pick one

Hey, progress is progress.

Congrats Trans. I’m jelly...

Just think, when I first started posting here as a kid, I had sworn off alcohol and thought potheads were chumps. Now I smoke erryday.

In June we’ll vote to legalize medical. My company will still restrict me from partaking, but it’s a start...

your company does piss tests?

That takes the piss. I spose some reasoning could be that it does have an effect on your cognitive skills, but, if your doc says youre fit to work / drive and to use your own judgement then your employer is being a picky fuck. Like with alcohol you use your own judgement.

Then work can bollock you for being a lazy junkie.

No. They do hair follicle tests...

Ouch.

It’s not all bad. I work in the energy sector for a major Fortune 500 company. Suffice it to say, the benefits, pay, 401k matching, and pension plan offset the no weed policy...

Incorrect. As the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers always say...

I tend to agree. I’m just in denial and trying to cope...

I know something that can help with coping...

Last time I smoked I felt like I was sinking into the couch and was unable to move anything but my eyes for 30 minutes. Not that fun.

Pussy^^^...

Yeah, that happens when you have zero tolerance and smoke anything 1/2 decent these days. Congrats, Every stoner everywhere wants to get that high again.

I used to get that high off shitty skunk weed grown in someone's closet. The medical grade herb I smoke these days doesn't even get me half as high.

Which is just as well, I guess. I smoke for the pain relief more than anything else, so it's nice to still be functional in the evenings and be able to get shit done.

May I ask what it is you are suffering from, or is that too personal?

I started developing a soreness in my right calf about 5 years ago. I thought it was from driving so much for work, hovering over the pedals for 6 hours every day. But eventually it spread to my left calf, then after a year or so it had traveled up my thighs. It feels like the day after a long hike, that soreness and aching in your muscles. 24/7.

My lower back and the back of my neck are also both bothering me, and my newest hunch is that they're related. The neck pain started around Thanksgiving and was accompanied by a headache that still hasn't gone away. I saw a neurologist a year or so ago and he even had me in front of a panel of med students at one point and they couldn't come up with anything. Now I'm seeing a physical therapist after my primary doctor couldn't think of anything else. It sucks.

Weed at least takes the edge off and lets me get to sleep at night.
