ColoHigh, I've been using a Rx bottle, left over from a 3-month supply of medication, to transport my MJ. It's a fairly good sized bottle, holds 1/8 oz very easily, and has a childproof top. I keep an empty bottle in my car. I've used it in three different places now without any problem, and...

Good show, Ken. That took guts, but now it's over, behind you. Congratulations, and again best wishes with resolving your chronic pain issue. - ipgrunt

Good luck Ken, It will not be as painful as you anticipate. Relax. Meditation is your best defense. The anticipation of pain can make things worse. Be at peace and remember, you control the stop button. -- ip

Jim, Good. I realize that my rhetoric can sting. Maybe it comes with age? Raising teenagers gives one a highly attuned BS detector. As for your 2nd issue, I understand. I happen to agree with your final point, but people with our libertarian outlook are in the minority, and we have...

Ken, I've had nerve conduction tests on my upper extremities. Yes, it may cause discomfort, but the feeling is more one of sensation than pain, if you understand what I mean. Just remember that you are always in charge. If you are overwhelmed by sensation, say "stop." If the practitioner does...

You've written a two-fer: a red herring and a non sequitur in one short article. When referring to marijuana, the word "controlled" is defined by Title II of the Federal Register in the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, which is revised regularly (too often in my...

Colorado is a state with interesting politics. We are western and are big on environmental issues. We have a long history of supporting states' rights, but are also fiercely proud Americans. We are both liberal and conservative, and it is hard to define our "color", be it red or blue, as those...

I'm also a Colorado resident. The voters of our state passed legislation in favor of the medical use of marijuana for the residents of our state who need it. Many law enforcement organizations, executives, and common patrolmen and women were not in favor of this legislation, and seem to act as...

Yes, that's correct, and if my maths is also correct, the Oct - Dec seizure of 270,000 pounds are valued at $28.24 an ounce. (* see below) Is it the decriminalization of medical marijuana that is causing this downward pressure on the price of grass, or is this just another sad example of the US...
