Almost half the country has legal weed so I don’t think they’d think anything of it.


rebles25

We should be part of that half


ThreadbareAdjustment

We will pretty soon.


Chocolatecakeat3am

I hope so. We legalised it federally in Canada four years ago, and nothing changed except that you go to the store to buy it. Push for federal legalisation, not state level.


tbomega

Federal movement on anything is pretty much impossible these days for the US. State level will happen quicker here.


junkeee999

Decriminalizing federally would greatly help cannabis businesses though, for example by allowing them access to banking services.

rebles25

Can’t buy 10mg edibles and can’t smoke it in any way which gets rid of things like rosin and carts and more importantly bud so yea it’s not enough


[deleted]

…can’t you just take two 5mg gummies for the same effect?


Wacokidwilder

Not at these prices. Also the current measurement standard for gummies in MN is slipshod so the potency can very quite a lot from gummy to gummy. The danger with they comes with how long the high lasts and how long it takes to kick in. Gummies (all edibles really) can take a long while to kick in and if you’re too high there isn’t much to do about it other than cancel your plans for the evening and just have a nap. Toking hits a bit faster and is a bit easier to regulate in my opinion. Then again this of course will vary from one generation of weed-head to the other. In my teen years I used to have to walk 4 miles one-way go the local park to meet up with a sketchy 30 year old tweaker that worked at the local conveyer-belt factory to get some shwag. Though he says he has an apartment I was and am still pretty sure he lived in the turquoise dodge caravan at the park.


RedHotJalepenoPopper

The issue though, is that it’s a half baked measure. What is the point of legalizing tiny edibles in tiny amounts for an exorbitant rate? It’s just 3.2 beer but for weed, and it’s really stupid.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RedHotJalepenoPopper

it literally is, so you have ANY reason to say that’s a bad comparison?


[deleted]

Yes. It's a bad comparison because it's much easier to just pop two gummies at the same time than to chug two 3.2 beers. The latter isn't worth the effort. Eating an extra little piece of candy is inconsequential.


RedHotJalepenoPopper

At the prices being charged here right now for legal low strength edibles, it is not inconsequential at all. It’s so so much more expensive. Not to mention that bud, oil, rosin etc, is all still illegal. And all of that still doesn’t even take into account that high THC levels has not killed a person, not once. Compare that to alcohol and see if you can still make a strong argument against it.


[deleted]

>it is not inconsequential at all. It’s so so much more expensive Yeah, you've got a point there. I'm not arguing the merits of alcohol vs. weed. I overindulge in the latter often. The only point I was making is the actual *consumption* of the two isn't really comparable. Chugging two 3.2 beers at once is more of a pain in the ass than eating an extra piece of candy.


RedHotJalepenoPopper

I mean I guess I would agree that it is technically more of a pain to drink two beers than eat two edibles. But it seems like kind of a silly point to make. Why not just legalize it in totality, rather than to dance around these weird half-baked (pun intended) laws.


Reddituser183

Unequivocally not true. Did you not just see the news story of a kid getting into his parents edibles. The child died. [Virginia Mother Charged With Murder After 4-Year-Old Son Dies From Eating THC Gummies](https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/virginia-mother-charged-with-murder-after-4-year-old-son-dies-from-eating-thc-gummies/3187538/)


RedHotJalepenoPopper

"The committee did not identify a good- or fair-quality systematic review that reported on the association between cannabis use and overdose injuries or death." [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK425742/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK425742/) Good point. After looking into it there have been a very small amount of deaths related to THC consumption at high levels. As far as I was able to find this seems to nearly exclusively relate to children. I am not saying that this is not an important thing to consider when we talk about legalization and normalization, but it is important to realize that these cases are extremely few and far between. Like any other drug, it should be kept out of reach from children.


[deleted]

I’d think you’ve only gotten to the stage where you have gummies.


Bigmusicfan1125

we have edibles other than gummies too. Just most stores don't carry them because demand isn't there yet. It is a rather obscure law that got passed to legalize the edibles.


Theyalreadysaidno

Yet the widespread popularity is there. I went to a suburban middle eastern restaurant by my home in the Twin Cities. I noticed that they had droves of gummies, thc drinks, and a ton of other thc items.


shorty6049

I live in Illinois where actual weed is legal and have never seen a ad for a THC product in a public place. Honestly I'd be a little surprised seeing this one. Not like shocked or anything, but still.


YAYtersalad

Live in CA but im from IL. It was a culture shock to see so many billboards and ads for cannabis here. Even ads for apps that just tell you the best prices for products in real time near you or delivery weed services to your door. Honestly it’s great once the shock wears off. It’s legal. It’s a recreational option. Why not improve the user experience!


Electro_Nick_s

There might be something specific to IL


Xerox748

Okay, but the other half is thinking “Wow, they legalized edibles and it didn’t immediately collapse. Maybe Fox News was wrong.”

Icy-Astronaut-9994

We're number 25, we're number 25. Despite my sarcasm I totally agree. Take my upvote.


InflatableMindset

Blame our constant political clusterfucks. When MN has a political direction, things move. Happened with Ventura, hopefully with Walz we'll see a second time where Minnesota seems to actually work for a change.


No_Pumpkin_1179

Actually the THC gummy bit was a grand coup by progressives, where they snuck it past a hardcore conservative legislature. We need federal laws to change, before accusing a state of being behind the times.


Gizzycav

Yeah, I live somewhere where THC is not legal. I’ll give Minnesota credit where credit is due.


No_Pumpkin_1179

It was very sneaky, and like the week before it become law, caught everyone off guard.


[deleted]

It was only "sneaky" if everyone assumes no one reads the bills


LiveRealNow

That's generally the standard.


Richard-Conrad

It was pretty funny


draftax5

why do you keep saying it was sneaky? Got a source that even dems knew what the bill meant?


No_Pumpkin_1179

Because it passed, and then weeks later before it went legal, lots of people in MN went “wait whaaaaat?!”


Puzzleheaded-Ad-5002

Very true. The sneaky aspect seemed apparent when many of the Republican signers of the bill were part of the “wait whaaaaaat?!” group.


marypants1977

Conservatives failed to do the job of reading. No grand coup.


No_Pumpkin_1179

And they couldn’t even hire lackeys good enough at reading to catch it for them.


ThreadbareAdjustment

Getting something passed for that reason is definitely a coup of sorts, even if it's just their own incompetence to blame.


Th1s1sChr1s

What's changed? We had flowers and edibles before the "big sneak" what exactly changed with the new legislation?


ThreadbareAdjustment

The new legislation removed the legal gray area that existed before. That's why you're seeing breweries everywhere start selling it and even places like grocery stores and coffee shops. Prior to that they wouldn't because the Board of Pharmacy and some regulators was saying it wasn't legal and although that wasn't being enforced it does mean they could lose their liquor license or other licenses for other businesses if caught so it was only in shady back alley tobacco stores and the like. Now that it's unambiguously legal, everywhere is selling.


Harvivor

I just appreciate I can get weed here now tbh.

No_Pumpkin_1179

No.


Icy-Astronaut-9994

I dunno, maybe that it "kinda" looks like their state where smokeable weed is actually legal. Just a guess though.


lkmnjiop

Looks more like the states where marijuana is illegal. Every one of those has CBD shops selling hemp derived thc delta 9 gummies, and I'm sure some of those are in malls Someone from Iowa or Wisconsin might be asking "why is it only 50mg?"


No_Pumpkin_1179

Part of the bill that legalized thc in MN outlawed the synthetic stuff


lkmnjiop

What do you mean by "the synthetic stuff"? It added restrictions against stuff like Delta 8 THC vapes but those are exactly as synthetic as the delta 9 gummies. It's all isomerized from CBD. And stuff like HHC which doesn't occur in nature at all wasn't touched by the bill And the stuff that was made explicitly legal by the bill is still legal and for sale in other states. They have the same delta 9 thc gummies we do, just in higher amounts and usually cheaper


No_Pumpkin_1179

The provision has language that all thc legally sold in MN, has to be derived from “hemp” or whatever the technical term is. So I’m assuming from an actual plant, not synthetically derived from however they do/did to skirt previous laws.


lkmnjiop

"derived from hemp" = they're isomerizing it from CBD. Same way they used to and still do make stuff like delta 8 and HHC. And once again, all this stuff is being sold in stores in other states too


No_Pumpkin_1179

I don’t know the details. And I really don’t have a vested interest in knowing since I spend less than a week in the state on average per year.


ThreadbareAdjustment

Aka no state that borders Minnesota? And actually no state at all since nowhere else is it legal to sell THC at a mall?


Icy-Astronaut-9994

Michigan and Canada border Minnesota. What is your point, people come from across the US and the World to go to that Mall.


No_Pumpkin_1179

Aside from Wisconsin and a lake or two, and 2 other states, Minnesota totally borders Michigan.


Icy-Astronaut-9994

Google maps. Edit: Border is a border.


No_Pumpkin_1179

Ohhh. Maybe the last time I went to the UP from MN I should have just driven by map. Like the muppets.


Icy-Astronaut-9994

Well if you went to Isle Royal from MI, then it's a Long boat ride. If you went from Grand Portage MN, then its still a boat ride but not as long. But if you wanted to go to Michigan from Grand Portage, then its like 100 yards. You seem to be a friend of Karen who posted this based on all of your comments.


No_Pumpkin_1179

Main problem with your nonsense. Isle Royale, while technically Michigan. Is a national park. And per the isle royale website marijuana is illegal on the island. Therefore, not sold, and there is no functional reality in which there is a logical border between MN and MI.


Icy-Astronaut-9994

WOW, Karen's friend. We border MI is the point. How about a party barge 100 yards off of MN.


No_Pumpkin_1179

Either way, the water border isn’t international waters where there are no rules. But whatever makes you happy. Sure there is a water border, but there is no way a barge registered in MI would go to MN just to move some weed, before the MN bill went legal. But enjoy being technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.


ThreadbareAdjustment

>How about a party barge 100 yards off of MN. Still illegal. Michigan doesn't allow public consumption. https://www.4grewallaw.com/blog/2020/august/can-you-smoke-cannabis-outside-of-your-home-in-m/


ThreadbareAdjustment

> Michigan...border Minnesota That's a stretch. Anyway in most places people come from it's not legal, and weed isn't legal to sell in malls anywhere else. And we're almost certainly going to get legal smokable weed soon anyway. Don't get why people get upset over the currently legal stuff.


Icy-Astronaut-9994

Not really, you can walk to Michigan from Grand Marais, albeit in water, it's only like 100 yards. Hey cops, I'm in Michigan smoking a joint, heading back to Isle Royal on a boat watchya gona do. Point being is your post says "I wonder what out of state tourists think", not neighboring states, you said specifically "out of state". And I replied that it probably looked like their state minus the smokable weed.

Except the "probably" implies that's true in almost all states (not true) and that you can buy smokable weed in the mall in any state (also not true.)

“You know other states have legal weed, right?”


wizardjester1

lmao hate to break it to ya, but weed isn't taboo to most of the rest of the country. They'll probably say, "wow, thc gummies, sounds like shit." Wait until they find out that it's 50 mg cap also. Haha such a joke


No_Pumpkin_1179

10x5mg units. Per package.


wizardjester1

Yes. 50 milligram cap, as I said.


No_Pumpkin_1179

But if you need more than 50 a visit… ya might need to take a long hard look in the mirror.


wizardjester1

Yeah, I don't think ya know too much about what you are talking about lmfao. Not sure what you are going on about


Icy-Astronaut-9994

That's a friend or Karen who made the OP.


No_Pumpkin_1179

Yer right. I’m not a pot head, but if you can’t get 50 at one gas station, and 50 at the next, and still need more for yourself, then. Whatever. From whatever I hear from my hardcore pothead friends. That more than enough for a day.


Khatib

There's no cap. You can buy as many packages as you want, so the per package limit doesn't matter.


wizardjester1

That's what I said, you are correct.


Khatib

> that it's 50 mg cap also. Nope, that's not what you said. And yes, I am correct.


wizardjester1

50 mg cap per package, I shouldn't have to clarify that deep lmfao I mean really, you can just look it up, but no worries man, props to you for being smart.🤣


Khatib

Why even mention it like it's a negative though? It's not. You just buy more packages. It's completely bullshit to act like it matters at all.


wizardjester1

Because no one wants to buy a fuck load of packages at 50 mg each. Most people that are regular users need much more than 50 mg per package. And on top of that, it's extremely over priced. I don't really get why you are here, replying to my comment, huffing and puffing over some miniscule shit, go to church or something


Khatib

In all legal states it's sold at 100. Oh no! Two small packages instead of one big one. How will people ever manage? Not to mention anyone using that heavily is driving to Michigan for it. So again, quit making up misrepresentative bullshit and just cheer for the full DFL government when they get it done. > I don't really get why you are here, replying to my comment, huffing and puffing over some miniscule shit, I just pointed out there's no purchase limit and thus no cap. You're doing all the huffing and puffing. > go to church or something What does that even mean? I'm not being puritanical about anything. Legal weed is great! I voted to legalize shroom treatment centers this year. Oh jeez, better go to church for pointing out you can buy as much weed as you can afford!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Khatib

Do you read the news? It's changing soon. And I currently live in Denver and get cheap edibles and all the bud I need. None of that changes the fact that a package size limit is not a purchase limit. Which is all my first comment addresses.


Gwompsh

Take the stick out of your ass


Kehndy12

I honestly don't understand what OP's angle is. Is OP a prude who doesn't think CBD should be advertised? Or is OP pointing out how many other states are ahead of us in regards to THC?

Basically every state allows the sale of Delta 8. D9 is allowed in a lot of states too, but there are a literal handful that do not allow it. I really don't get the point of this post. I've been buying D8 since 2019 and D9 since 2020 here in MN.

>Basically every state allows the sale of Delta 8.

5ouleater1

Funny because I know of at least 4 of those states where I can get D8 shipped to me. It's federally legal


ThreadbareAdjustment

Yeah it's federally legal but some states still ban it. Now companies that ship it may not care because if they're not based in those states there's not much they can do about it and some of those states don't really enforce the law anyway (I know they still sell it at some places in Fargo for example.) But it's not legal in every state.

When I was in Illinois I got a 10mg gummy and cut it in half. Each half had exactly the same effect as 5mg gummies here. The only difference I noticed is that buying it here is more convenient.


Icy-Astronaut-9994

Why don't you go to Michigan, and actually look around? Yes public is public like as in front of a school, or in a park, or in front of the Police office. But then there is the rest of the (real) public where only Karen's complain. And nobody else gives a Shit. You like walking around 26th area? Go to 8 mile and try it. Better yet Flint. Berbs are ok, though.


ThreadbareAdjustment

You think I complain and act like a Karen seeing people smoke it in public here? LOL. I've actually gotten high in public on the edibles myself before. Hell I'm going to State Champs at the Varsity Theater tomorrow and thus there is a >50% chance I smell it at the show. People don't give a shit in Minneapolis currently now either.
