Thanks for Laura Ungar’s Related Press article “More people are addicted to marijuana, but fewer of them are seeking help, experts say” (Nov. 25, Nation):
As an individual who smoked marijuana within the late Seventies and ’80s throughout my teen years and past, I’ve been alarmed concerning the elevated efficiency accessible in some hashish strains bought legally at dispensaries in Washington state these days.
If I’d recognized again in 2012, when Washingtonians had been offered with the chance to vote on Initiative 502 concerning the legalization of pot, that some weed merchandise had been going to incorporate increased ranges of THC, I might’ve been reluctant to vote in favor of the poll measure. Getting a little bit buzzed is one factor, getting blown away is kind of one other.
Perhaps I’ve grown a little bit extra conservative as I close to my senior years, however I’m way more inclined to need to defend marijuana people who smoke — younger and outdated — in opposition to grass that’s loaded with a better focus of THC.
With a purpose to higher defend the well being of those that select to imbibe ganja, the state Legislature should act shortly and get a regulation on the books to limit efficiency ranges in hashish.
