Legal October 17th!

Although cannabis smokers will dispute this. High Times magazine did a poll that suggested much more varied results, with nearly half of those polled saying it was as high as one full gram and the other half saying only 0.5 grams. Well a new study conducted based on an analysis of federal drug arrest data published in the journal for Drug and Alcohol Dependence, found that the average amount of cannabis in a rolled joint at just 0.32 grams. This made me think of my statistics courses in high-school, “Finite Mathematics” it was called back then, at the mean, median, and mode. So at a median of all these jumbled up stats, I am going to trust 0.5 grams as an average. I’m not the best roller. So this seems about right. It probably takes me about ten drags to get through one of my rolled joints, they burn fast. Probably because I can’t roll properly or don’t use the best papers. In essence, one of these capsules equates to about a third of a joint. Exactly my dosage. So the trial began, and since starting this endeavor, I have yet to smoke cannabis. These work for me. And I will continue to use my medication in this fashion, particularly as laws have restricted my consumption in the public space.
