Today’s Stash features your weekly dose of Cannabis Science with Dr. Mitch Earleywine. Today we talk about a recent study on heavy teenage use of marijuana and IQ scores, and generally what is the age that science would set for adult use – 18 or 21?
Then Aaron Smith from Marijuana Policy Project is here to tell us about San Bernadino County’s possible breaking of California’s open meetings rule in their quixotic quest to refuse to obey the law regarding medical marijuana.
understandable I never like the idea of the liquor stores. If figured what would happen is some stores would sell just ganja and others would sell the booze. I will be in Portland in about 6 months. I will be getting involved in this.
What if we do it nation wide but I would dive to DC.
Russ what’s going on with OCTA 2010. I never really hear you talk about it. That’s your and my soon to be home state. I am glad I will be there in time to help out.
OCTA 2010 is being re-written right now. With our original language to put pot in liquor stores, we only polled at about 40%. Part of the reason? The liquor store! A) The liquor control commission here in Oregon is known for its corruption, and B) those liquor-lovin’ people don’t want dirty dope smokin’ hippies tarnishing their pristine liquor stores.
Seriously.
So we are re-writing with a separate-but-equal cannabis store idea, pushing the economic benefits and harm reduction, and repackaging after the 2009 legislative session, which we really need to focus on currently to keep the rights we have.
