As someone who had to stop smoking weed .... again .... to pas a damn UA for a job, and now that I'm older than what I once was, I can tell you first hand that a nightly toke or two sure helps relieve joint pain and stiffness. Call it whatever you want, but I stopped smoking and the pain went from once a week to daily and it increased in intensity. Once the UA was over and I've been hitting my bullet each night before going to sleep, well let's just say I'm a true believer. There is something in this thing called cannabis sativa that relieves pain. And it's far less dangerous than those damn prescription pills like Hydrocodone and the others I've tried.
The election is now only about 2 months away, 60 days. And as for what we can do after it passes. I've seen some billboards in the area advertising to get in on it now. I assume these are mostly for seminars where they tell you how easy it's going to be to get rich selling medicinal cannabis, but only if you pay them $6K for a three day seminar where they will tell you what they know about the topic. And what they know may not be what you need to know. I remember when the Internet first started in 1994 and these scammers came out in droves selling their cookie cutter websites for $6K per package. It's all going to be the same thing. I have no doubt that the State is going to make it very difficult to get into the business of selling cannabis. Growing it will also be a touchy subject too open to interpretation between the growers and the enforcers. And for the beginning, you almost have to have one foot in the grave before they will let you get a prescription for the use of it for pain management. It's gotta start somewhere though. I will be at the polls in November voting not only for this ballot but for those politicians who have been supporting it.
