Today , in 6 In 10 Americans Are 'Surprised' Marijuana Hasn't Been Legalized Across The U.S. Yet, Poll Finds

THCA is legal in all but a handful of states that have specifically outlawed it. Eight horses hemp, flow gardens, and plenty of other online vendors. It will show up in your mailbox with no issue. I’m in Texas and i get an ounce delivered on subscription every month. If you prefer vapes to flower, check out secret garden.

batcheck ,

The problem is you still fail drug tests for work or for certain medications (like adderall) when consuming THCA. I’m lucky and my job doesn’t test and I know when my doctor will test me. But it’s not a comfortable feeling knowing it could be used against you in a bunch of scenarios.

Playing the will this bite me game with a drug most of us agree should just be legal by now sucks.

Today ,

Yeah, you shouldn’t use weed if it’s gonna create a problem for your job, healthcare or life, but there’s plenty of it out there if you do choose to partake.

Lost_My_Mind ,

…why is your doctor drug testing you?

CrazyLikeGollum ,

If you take certain scheduled medications, like Adderall, your doctor or (more likely) your insurance provider can require a drug test before renewing the prescription.

interrobang ,

My doctor okayed THC use for me (to wind down at night), so i test positive for that + adderall. Ask, it might be okay

Its 100% crazy bullshit that we’re tested like this

batcheck ,

My doctor is aware of my THC use. I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. I was essentially self medicating with THC to control some of the symptoms that come along with ADHD like anxiety. I could not start on adderall until I tested clean of THC. Took 2.5 months of being without THC and repeated trips to my doctors office and getting tested before I passed (the Amazon test strips were not as sensitive as the doctors office one).

Overall I’d pick adderall over THC any day. But the truth is both together is even better. Adderall during the day and THC (well THCA in my state) to wind down at night. It’s just lame to have to spend 2 months a year having to stop THC to finally feel like I’m happy the rest of the 10 months of the year.

jadedwench ,

That is nuts. I have to take these tests once or twice a year, but not once has my medication been held hostage over marijuana. I live in NY though, which is a mix of sane laws, personal freedoms, social safety nets, somewhat high taxes, and I can’t do what now due to the assholes in NYC???

Either way, it sucks that we are treated like junkies to be prescribed life saving medication that we cannot be addicted to.

frezik ,

It’s probably because Adderall is a controlled dose of amphetamine.

jadedwench ,

No shit.

interrobang ,

Thats incredibly frustrating.

I take adderall for narcolepsy, and my docs office says its pretty well understood that many people need help to wind down off stimulants.

I hope it gets easier.

ShepherdPie ,

Why don’t you just take one of those ‘cleaners’ before your drug test? You essentially drink a ton of water to dilute your pee and the solution adds all the components back to make it look like you didn’t dilute your pee.

batcheck ,

Did a ton of reading on that. It’s very hit or miss. It’s a similar approach to creatine loading and then drinking a large amount before a drug test. Some places also make you retake the test if your pee is too diluted. At the end, the adderall is more important to me. It helps me be a better father and husband. The THC is mostly to help me sleep and have a few hours not anxiously trying to make plans for every possible outcome in my work week (which tends to not be useful).

Until the government gets their act together (and I mean all of them, the democrats also have holdouts on the topic), I’m stuck doing this in the state I live in. Moving isn’t an option as our family, jobs and support structure is all here.

Thanks for the advice though. I appreciate people trying to help a person out and I genuinely mean it. I think we have too many old school and old fashioned people in office on both sides of the isle and hopefully that will resolve itself in the upcoming years.

SkyeStarfall ,

As someone who lives in Europe, and in one of the countries stricter on drug laws (Norway), this seems too fucked up to me. You need to get drug tested for meds??

I take ritalin which is also a scheduled drug, and I didn’t do anything like this.

tektite , (edited )

Someone told me recently that it’s to prove the person prescribed the adderall is the one who is actually taking it (to prevent resale).

Edit: rereading the thread I realize you might be questioning why they’re being drug tested for THC regarding their adderall prescription. I don’t have an answer for that so, if that was your actual question, I apologize for the confusion.

ealoe ,

Those drug tests are a bit different though, you’re supposed to fail them so you can prove you were taking the Adderall yourself not selling it.

prole ,

Find a doctor that understands the difference between using cannabis therapeutically, and actual life-ruining, physically addictive drugs.

Be up front right away. Tell them that it’s essentially medicine for you, and without it, whatever you are seeing them for (presumably ADHD) gets exacerbated.

Don’t get defensive if they bring up the psychological addiction to cannabis. Freely admit that you may rely on it psychologically at times, and maybe ask them if they drink coffee every morning (or if they have a problem with you drinking coffee every morning).

Literally every single person in rehab for actual serious drug addiction, lives on caffeine and nicotine. It’s all a massive double standard. The only difference is that, while medicating you, cannabis can also make you feel good (but usually not good and productive), and there’s this puritanical concept that this somehow makes it inherently bad and dangerous

Anyway, find a doctor that understands this. They exist.

Then go on and test positive for cannabis monthly, it’s quite freeing. As long as you don’t give them any reason to be concerned about your cannabis intake, then they likely won’t bother you about it much again. Maybe mention it every few months.

sparkle ,

like adderall

Finally, something good comes out of my ADHD. I’m invincible against THCA drug tests!

(I’m kidding)

It will show up in your mailbox with no issue.

This is the part that absolutely blows my mind. I gather they’re avoiding sending product across state lines?

Today ,

No. The 2018 farm bill that legalizes it is federal. DEA tried to say thca doesn’t count as hemp because it converts to Delta 9 with age and heat, but the court said the law means what it says - less than. 3% Delta 9 is hemp. Most of my purchases come from the Pacific Northwest i think, which is funny because some of those states are/are trying to outlaw hemp because it’s the same as what you get in a dispensary, but without the government oversight, lot numbers, etc. so it cuts into the traditional cannabis companies and taxes.

dejected_warp_core ,

That’s amazing. Thank you for the info.

Hey guys, it’s me JD, JD Vance here to react to the latest IKEA commercial. I thought the last one was kind of lame, it was really unexciting to be honest. The couches were barely featured. It was mostly bathroom footage, which is totally boring. But maybe they’ve turned it around. I mean, I doubt it, but let’s see. Let’s hit play.

Yes but if we are going do a general strike we need to plan way ahead. Lets just hope we can get the majority of workers on board. Especially in major infrastructure. Rail workers, electric, and water. And every single fast food and retail worker. Just one week we bring the ruling class to their knees.

Just one week

It seems to say 1 day (May day). Does it start then and continue? This sounds kind of dumb, but what do I know.

Yeah May 1 is the day and I think we have to do more than a day if we are truly make impact.

They’ll need to vote more Democrats into Congress for that to happen. The stalled bill has 113 Democratic cosponsors and Matt Gaetz.

WiseWoodchuck , in Drag performance resembling Last Supper at Olympic opening ceremony rankles conservatives

NBC’s coverage only detracted from the ceremony. They cut most of the fashion show. And the hosts did nothing to explain or put the various acts in cultural context.

For those who don’t like the queer fashion show, no one is forcing you to watch it. It’s a cultural expression of the host country. It’s like going to Gramany and hating the beer or the Netherlands and hating the tulips.

Transcript:

“I, Kamala Harris, senior Democrat candidate for President because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility of debate. Thanks, Joe.

I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I’m both a woman and a person of color. So if you criticize anything I say, you’re both sexist and racist.

I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that’s a good thing if you’re a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden. Joe taught me rule number one, carefully hide your total incompetence.

I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they’re significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant. Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. “So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time, and there is such great significance to the passage of time.”

And Another trick is trying to sound black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanza, and in my speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama impression. “So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”

And okay, look, maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic, but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking. “The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring.”

Just remember, when voting this November, it is important to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been… I mean, Joe Biden. Do you think the country went to over the past four years? You ain’t seen nothing yet. (Cackle).”

Theharpyeagle ,

It always baffles me to say she’s unqualified when she objectively has more relevant work experience than Trump.

Also the “try to sound black” part is just… there’s a lot to unpack there.

Blank ,

Yes, but woman.

That’s all the convincing the MAGA crowd need to view someone as unqualified for leadership.

gas , in Concern grows as Venezuela blocks election observers

Can’t speak for other situations but as spanish I must clarify that the reasons why the Spanish PP party “observers” were kicked out is because they lacked the proper VISA to be officially electoral observers and the proper invitation to act as such from the electoral authorities from Venezuela, which more than 1000 observers from the whole electoral field (some of them far right BTW) managed to get, because they followed the proper bureaucracy to get them. They traveled on a tourist VISA and when they got rejected they claimed in social media as if they were almost being kidnapped by Venezuelan authorities. An embarrassment for my country is what they are…
