Re: Huge industrial cannabis proposal near Graton
Cannabis has different effects on different people, Tommy. For me it makes the world become clearer and more vivid; my normal state seems duller in comparison. I can sit gazing at the landscape or listening to music in delight for hours, while feeling my feelings intensely, or I may go hiking and the world comes more alive, or I might relate to a friend with extra depth and intensity. Cannabis certainly does not rob me of my zest and resourcefulness, and it enhances my creativity. I do agree, however, that if you smoke it incessantly you may be wearing your spirit out. I like to use it as an occasional spiritual hiking staff, not a wheelchair.
In any case, illegalization solves nothing. It does not stop people from partaking. In my opinion illegalization is only a legalistic excuse for persecuting and prosecuting people, which is great fun and income for sadistic cops, lawyers, judges, and jailers.

This may not be PC... but speaking as a former pothead... it's unfortunate it was legalized. I smoked it daily for 10 years. It was something I looked forward to every day... and then was stoned as soon as I did it! What a way to waste this precious life. It's addictive, and robs you of your zest and resourcefulness. With it's current legalization, its use has spread, so that now even more people are stoned out. Psychologically, frequent use is a symptom of someone who has no purpose or direction.

Well, yep, that is an issue. The law limits how much THC can be in a package, and then I think that many types of edibles are easily broken down into smaller portions (ie, chocolate bars that are scored, individual capsules, recommendations of how many drops of a tincture to take, etc). There's definitely some trial and error, but at least I'm guessing that with testing and everything, doses are probably more consistent. There's also some variability in terms of time of day, what else the user has eaten, etc, though...

Interesting info, Karen. Well, I'm grateful that the cat is out of the bag now, after so many decades of confinement! It's a Brave New World, and we'll all be riding the wave.....

Does anybody know if there is an update on the Graton Cannabis proposal?
Re: Huge industrial cannabis proposal near Graton
To the question asking an update on the Graton cannabis proposal; I just read in the Sonoma County Gazette that the public trail has been rezoned Linear Park and that the persons proposing the Graton "garden" will have to plan proper setbacks in a new proposal. Personally, I am concerned about large trucks servicing said 'garden' on a narrow one lane road.

Here's the article in the Press Democrat about this. I think this is the correct call. I presume this invalidates the prior cannabis proposal. Perhaps they will come forward with a new proposal that conforms to the restrictions around the trail/linear park.
Re: Huge industrial cannabis proposal near Graton
After the bos said trails are parks (there is a little confusion about which trails, not including this trail), jackalope said they would amend application answering prmd questions and seeking allowed exemptions. So far nothing. Not sure what time is allowed in keeping application open.
