The Future of Getting High

Scientists are working on nonaddictive opiates, pills that sober you up, and pot designed to produce certain moods.

In 2014, i walked into a dispensary in Boulder and emerged with something truly surreal: a receipt. For weed. Two years earlier, Colorado had voted to legalize recreational marijuana—reflecting a seismic shift in American attitudes toward the drug. In just two generations, the portion of the population that supports legalization went from 12 percent to 58 percent. Along the way, we’ve seen emerging marijuana markets, new technologies, and the normalization of experiences that were once taboo.

Anti-Medical Marijuana Group Releases First Ad of 2016

In its opening salvo of the 2016 campaign, Drug Free Florida claims the medical marijuana proposal on the November ballot is "still a scam to legalize pot."

The group, which successfully stopped a similiar amendment in 2014, released its first ad Monday under the banner of the 'Vote No on 2' campaign. It ties the proposed amendment to the permissive medical marijuana law in California.

Titled "Search," the video features a man snarkily commenting as he conducts an Internet search on California's dispensaries for medical pot. "Look at these names – seriously? Kush Mart?" he says. "They aren't even trying."

He thought about going to the kitchen but felt completely stuck in place.

Colorado school district OKs medical marijuana for students

A Colorado Springs-area school district will now allow students who rely on medical marijuana to take doses at school.

The Falcon District 49 school board unanimously approved the policy Thursday.

Parents or state-licensed caregivers, but not school staffers, would be allowed to give students non-inhalable forms of marijuana, such as edibles and oils.

All Colorado schools would be required to allow such medical marijuana use under a bill passed by state lawmakers and awaiting the governor’s signature. Gov. John Hickenlooper has said he supports it.

Falcon’s policy was inspired by the suspension of a disabled student who accidentally brought cannabis pills to school in his lunch. He uses medical marijuana to treat his seizures.

Especially considering that marijuana legalization is going to be on the ballot in Maine in November. Not according to marijuana opponents. When the recent poll results were released by Critical Insights, Scott Gagnon of Project Sam had the following to say, per Bangor Daily News:
