I have no problem finding hundreds of good quality strains at great prices when I visit Colorado every so often FWIW.

We're living in a weed utopia. Don't let babe's weed scholar convince you otherwise. My guy now carries a dozen top shelf strains. Premium stuff. Ten years ago, if a dealer knew what strain he was selling, he'd be the king of SLC.
 
I just educated myself a bit more by reading a bunch and skimming much more of the actual proposed code--28 pages total i think. I liked reading the code rather than what everyone says about it, very interesting.

I am unsettled about the tension the proposed code creates between The Feds and private individuals, state officers, and local governments. Additionally I think it creates tension between the State and local governments in ways that would agitate both the protagonists and antagonists. This probably reveals more about my political philosophies than it does about my opinion on marijuana.

This likely won't factor into my decision, but I find it odd that in Utah I have to ask a Pharmacist for Pseudoephedrine and buy alcohol from a State Store, but I could buy marijuana from an average Joe in a strip mall?

Also, by my reading of the list of eligible ailments I could get marijuana for at least three people in my household. Both my parents and most of my siblings and spouses would be eligible. I've heard/read supporters say this is a very limited use for specific ailments suggesting few would be eligible--I would not agree with that description.

Anyway, there has been growing support for medical Marijuana in the Utah Legislature, I think it could pass the Legislature this year. This because of, not in spite of, the statement from the folks down at 50 North temple. So whether Prop 2 is bad wording the Legislature has to fix, or a bad law the legislature repeals the legislature still has to be involved, so why not just step out of their way and let them decide it in February without Prop 2 being in the way?

I could be wrong, but the reason for Prop 2 is because the Utah Legislature has not come close in the past to passing a medical marijuana bill. And the danger is always, in our Mormon-heavy legislature, that it will never pass if the church speaks out against it. The idea is to see what ALL voters would prefer. For those who need it yesterday, waiting for people to slowly come around to the idea is not ideal.

Oh I have little doubt of that. Back in my day I was lucky to find a guy who had anything to sell that wasn't 30% stems and seeds. And it cost more back then too!

As usual babe seems to be delusional about the topic at hand

I agree about the first part but disagree about the cost.
I used to be able to get like 3.5 grams (an eighth) for 5 or 10 bucks frequently. Never more than 20.

Well, this was in Rock Springs Wyoming too, so I'm sure prices were far higher than most places. I would pay 40 bucks for an eighth of crappy bud, 60-70 for anything approaching decent.

*also was like 10-15 years ago.
 
So what exactly does an eighth represent? 1 joint, several, a day or 2 of fun, a week, assuming like smoking it daily?
 
So if I am Eli Lilly and want to compete in the Utah weed market, couldn't I buy up the 40 licenses and then charge whatever price I wanted?

You used to be able to get ****** weed for that much. Or as we used to call it, Shwag. Good weed, which we used to call chronic (it's the only kind available now) hasn't gone up in price. At least not considerably. I used to get an eighth for $35-$40 in 2002. It is now typically $40-$50 if you're buying singles.
