marijuana might be legal! Really?

Come on! We can get this passed but we can’t pass a two line fishing season in the summer.

bout dam time! the fact that weed is illegal while alcohol is legal is incredibly dumb and hypocritical.

I wonder if they will do what Canada did when they legalized it and scrub all weed-related offenses from people’s records?

Agreed. Weed should been legal long ago

I’ve been enjoying the gummies ever since they became legal.

It is part of the bill. 60,000 possible expungements according to the Star Tribune.

I’m curious to see how this affects my line of work (construction, local 563 if anyone cares). Peoples use of weed is an open secret but if it becomes legal I wonder if it’ll be out in the open. Getting hurt and testing positive wouldn’t be good, even if it’s legal.

^^^Doesnt mean it is legal to use at work just like you can’t drink on the job. You can easily test for both.
One obviously is a little more instant but testing nonetheless.

Oh by the way it is already legal here. Has been for over a year now. You can by in gummy form just about anywhere.

My bad, I guess I should have been more clear. I wasn’t talking about people using at work, you’d have to be real dumb to do that.

I meant testing positive since it stays in your body for some time. So it’s possible to get hurt at work and test positive but not be high at the time. I just wonder how that scenario would be handled. I can see a company using that to finagle their way out of as much responsibility as they can.

The stuff that’s legal is only a percentage of what it should be and is a wildly overpriced. Limited milligram is hardly saying pot is legal.

Just eat the whole bag BC.
It is always going to be more expensive to buy legally just like any good.

For the company I work for it won’t matter. We work nation wide and have done work in other states that have legalized grass.
If you test positive for a new hire you won’t be hired. If you test positive for a random or post accident you will be terminated. At least that is the policy for the company I work for.

I get what you are saying. I am sure companies can still have zero tolerance policies. Especially those that use heavy equipment or truck drivers and such. Will be interesting like you said to read the fine print at hiring.

Meanwhile… somewhere in Canada … Pot Sobriety Test

Oh God lol, I’d be broke if I had to eat the entire bag. They are better to make at home. It’ll be nice to not have to deal with Johnny law to have a ounce in your possession.

I’m going to guess we still won’t be able to test positive being in the union. But it just depends on who you work for and how much you mean to the company. I haven’t been tested in 13 years with my company. Even when I got hit in the face 8 years ago with a saw, went in and got stitched up and on the Dr note it said no urine analysis required.
I know other laborers who seem to get random tests all the time

It’s kinda of legal now it’s a certain percentage and does contain thc. This law is full blown usage with no limits.

Another than that certain plants and 1.50lb of pot, the little details.

And two ounces in public…good lord with how potent it is now, why would you need that much???

I’m happy to be a lightweight for now. 2 of the 5mg gummies gets me pretty buzzed. I just wish they didn’t have to be sugary candies with young kids in the house.

Are you a laborer as well then?
I’ve only been tested once. And only because Ferrel Gas required it. The contractor didn’t care.

Hopefully brings down costs, my seltzers are getting spendy. Last 4pack was $60, to be fair they were 25mg each

With all the taxes it will still be cheaper on black market

So it still has to pass the Senate? Is that just a formality at this point?

I’d much rather have my hands in the life of a heavy equipment operator who smoked a joint last night versus one who drank 12 beers and had a few whiskey cokes and their breath smells like the bottom of a whiskey jar when they clocked into work in the morning

I’m guessing this will probably be close to the max amount you can buy at the legal pot shop and transport “in the public” back to where you call home.

I have found many places that have gummies that are over the 5% thc limit for sale. Many times at cheaper prices.

Maybe so, but still just not as good

Agreed. The delta 9 and delta 8 or whatever it is, and the hemp derived thc just isn’t the same as the real stuff.

The stuff I’m getting that is 15% per gummy is just as good. Only difference is it takes an hour to hit you so you just have to plan a little more.

Did a little more research. Guess the Senate votes on it Friday.

Who knew this would be the least controversial topic on IDO since Sharon’s Dessert thread!?!?! Btw Sharon I have a great business idea for you….
