Holy cow! What a beautiful pic even though I don't smoke
anymore! I don't consider you stupid so I'll assume that
your stash is in a completely legal country, either Thailand
or Australia.

The USA is slowly coming around state by state but I'll tell
you this...If Virginia police discovered that in my closet,
I'd get life in prison without parole. Heck, they wouldn't
just lock my jail cell door, they would weld it shut.

That pic belongs in "High Times" magazine, if it's still
being published.

Definitely a "This Bud's for you" pic. ;-D

No, not actually legal in Australia, but it's no big deal these days.
Police no longer care about cannabis much here anymore. We just have
to sit through a few more years until it inevitably becomes
legalised...

Really? I wouldn't have thought that would be the case these days.

You don't want to get caught growing it in Australia. In Thailand,
even possession of an ounce gets you in trouble.

It's still illegal in quite a few states with it being a felony in some
and some of those same felony states will allow medical marijuana. BUT
you must have your medical marijuana card on you if you are transporting
it. Oh, and even if you do have the card does not mean you get to share
your weed with your buddies.
While some have decriminalized it if you have

It is legal here now, but it is subject to regulations. You can grow up
to four plants. You can buy it online and at legally licensed stores.
You can only have it in a car if it is an unopened package from a
licensed store. You can smoke it any place where you can smoke tobacco,
so that rules out bars, restaurants, parks, hospitals, school yards....

Hmmm.... I just checked and it does have a web site and you can
subscribe. I guess the question is where to buy magazines these days.
Magazine kiosks have disappeared from most of the local malls and
convenience stores have only a dozen or so different magazines rather
than the dozens they used to offer. A couple weeks ago I went to the
smoke shop across an office where I used to work. they used to have
magazine racks along one long wall, the wall, a half wall and then
several display racks down the middle. They had hundreds of periodicals
for sale. They there is just the one wall, and only a few titles to
choose from.

Yes. We do have legal 'medical marijuana' here in Australia, but for
most people it's still a difficult and relatively expensive process to
go through.

As for recreational marijuana, it's still technically illegal but for
most parts of Aus, the police give it a low priority because they care
a LOT more about crystal meth. In recent times I've known a few people
who've been caught locally growing weed (growing it rather blatantly),
in each case the cops confiscated the weed and issued a 'police
caution', which means no fine or other punishment... but you do lose
your weed

Four is still a good number, although in your climate not as much weed
as say, could be grown in California. Thailand plans to legalised 6
plants for personal use, Australia has no such plans at this time,
which suits me just fine anyway.

That's kind of weird, I mean I understand the reasoning behind it, but
yeah... kinda dumb, really.

Fair enough.

Magazines? Oh, like a printed web site. They had them in ancient times.

One of the reasons for legalizing pot here was to abolish the black
marker and drug associated crime. It has been done poorly because there
are so few places licensed to sell it. The closest one to me is at the
far end of a nearby city. It would take me more than a half hour to get
there. Then there is the price the government set, and, of course,
taxes. If I were so inclined, I would be able to get some from "some
guy" locally for less than the cost at the legal store and I would save
more than an hour of travel time.

The province passed a law to allow municipalities to allow or ban pot
stores. My town opted out. Ironically, there are 7 major pot grow ops in
town.
