Legalizing Weed

I’d be pissed but i wouldn’t move my job and family is here. [/quote]

fortunately, someone would probably supply you anyway.

Table, 1x1.1 meters, 5 cocos mats, 6 plants per mat, 1600 ppm of Co2, 600 watt hps ----> 900-1000g yield.

Of course you need irrigation with a timer.

I will be damned before I buy inferior shit ever again.

Then again, clones are perfectly legal here. [/quote]

Is this a perpetual grow? 900-1000g per plant or harvest?

per lamp-

nothing else matters.

per watt to be specific, if you accept light as the limiting factor. which you kind of must indoors, you can only optimize the rest.

Jesus Christ I am on the interwebz, mainly talking about growi8ng weed and getting laid.

Anyone interested in the finer points of Spartan foreign policy as dictated by the Helot system?

Is there sex and drugs involved with ‘the finer points of Spartan foreign policy as dictated by the Helot system’?

If so, sure! :slight_smile:

I can’t see many people moving their lives just to light a joint.

Perhaps the psychologically addicted ones, but I don’t think there are many of them.

I’m guessing that not many people will permanently move just to smoke pot, but cannabis tourism? Highly probable. How many college kids on their official Eurail summer trip haven’t swung over to Amsterdam just for the experience?

On the other hand, if certain states included cannabis policy as part of a general libertarian trend…well then I would definitely consider moving.

I could people with certain types of medical afflictions moving because of it. Like someone during chemo who can’t find a better appetite stimulator and pain killer that lets them keep functioning during day to day activities.

Very true, and a good point.

Just one example

" Not surprisingly, evidence suggests that, compared with their nonsmoking peers, students who smoke marijuana tend to get lower grades and are more likely " says the article

Evidence (SUGGESTS) could it be that poor students were more likely to smoke MJ ? the article is full of bullshit like this .

It’s a meta-analysis on a credible site with a shitload of references. You probably didn’t read the article. In what line of work are you to so quickly and confidently say this article is bullshit?
In case you didn’t know, in the health field evidence usually SUGGESTS (your “argument” for saying it’s a bullshit article) and doesn’t prove anything.

However I don’t see why this article would be an argument against legislation. Cannabis is correlated with certain negative effects & social factors. No shit. So is alcohol.

It is important when looking at studies to remember that correlation does not equal causation.

If I were to look at people who tested positive for marijuana during postal admittance, it makes me first question the type of person who would apply for a postal job within 1 month of smoking pot considering they knew they would be drug tested.

Doing a study on stupid people and then claiming their stupid action is caused by something they took…immediately eliminates the possibility that they were JUST REALLY STUPID.

Put the bong down for five minutes pitbull. Your point was that maybe the poor students were more likely to smoke marijuana. My point is that the sample of students all came from similar education and income backgrounds. Therefore, your theory that maybe the poor students were more likely to smoke marijuana doesn’t hold up.

I went to school to learn how to read and understand studies like this…and you are right. I don’t think most lay-people understand how many grants are given to people who already have agendas and are using their “study” simply to promote said agenda.

A meta-analysis simply means some people you don’t know got together and looked at studies and made a bunch of assumptions from them…mind you, these assumptions can also be biased and usually are.

If I were to do an honest study on the effects of marijuana use, it would first require a society that wouldn’t crucify those being tested who did test positive.
