My hulk brother called me ... he has a medical card ... he's actually waiting for a settlement from worker's comp ... he fell and he just broke his foot but however he broke it he has had to have 4 surgeries in his foot from a fall on construction site (union carpenter).  So he lost his trade cause he can't stand on his feet all day anymore (I would
Effin hate that ... no skiing (he snowboarded$ or even walking all day he can't do.  He walks with a gimp.

He's gonna get a huge settlement, tho.  To me that wouldn't be worth it.  I'd rather have my health.  It's been gong on for years and years, but his lawyer said it should be over and he said he is coming down here.

Anyway he gets medical prices he said, but he said it's $60 an 1/8 and for recreational it's $160 a quarters. He called me today b itching me ... asking me about growing.  He said leave it to Illinois to f uck it all up and be waaaaaay more expensive than the black market, lol!  It's seriously way cheaper on the black market.  If you have good connections on black market you can get it for $200-250 an O.  Black market Vape Cartridges are $25 small and 40 large (those are the ones that were effing up people's lungs ... if you know what you are doing you can make your own and then you don't have to worry about that stuff ... those are nice cause you can actually use those at outdoor bars or even indoor bars and no one notices).  I don't even wanna know how much they are at the stores but those are regulated and I would expect safe.

Why take the chance though? That's just me.

Too bad about his foot. No amount of money makes up for your health!

He has a medical card and can grow I think up to 4 plants legally.

Ohhhh....he should do that! I don't know the rules for a med card. One of my son's friends had a med card in college. He wanted to use my address and I wouldn't let him. He was in college and his parents were/are majorly against pot usage. He would buy pot and then sell it. Friends of his who he had sold to were hotboxing in a campus parking lot and got caught. Tony's name and address were on the bags and he went to jail, got suspended from school. It was a mess. I was so glad I had not let him use my address! The police would have been knocking on my door. This was 8 years ago. Freshman in college. Super smart kid....but maybe not that smart.

Yeah, it's helped him get off pain pills.

What a dummy to leave name and address on the bag!  Why didn't he just leave a trail of pot bread crumbs back to his house, lol!

It's IL ... run by the biggest eff ups.  They are so cash starved they will try to milk it for maximum revenue possible ... it's not about people and the fact that it is ridiculous to prohibit something like that ... it's all about $$$$$.

What will end up happen most folks will still use their dealer and will just go to shops for some variety and buy small amounts.  They won't ever maximize revenue because they are charging too much and won't get the volumes they could get if they lowered the price and taxes.

I agree, it's easy to grow... Like riding a bike... If you smoke it grow it....

Most of the research on marijuana dates to when it was still widely illegal. It’s hard to gather information about behavior that’s against the law.

Naturally, the gov. wants people to smoke it to make money, they don't care who gets hurt by it, its all about the MONEY!!!!!!!

Call me crazy...but I don't think inhaling any kind of smoke is good for the lungs...I spent 8 months in Iraq 29 years ago...about six of those breathing in the smoke from all of the oil well fires...not to mention the residue of all the sh!t that they blew up during the war...have had breathing problems ever since...

Same here with all the car fumes in London. We are now introducing Electric Cars and more Bike Lanes to help with the pollution. 😁

I think electric cars are a great idea as long as there are electric plug ins on the roads to recharge. Plus a house has to be set up for this, I wonder what that would cost.

Marijuana smoke is the least of your worries this day in age... Comparing it to oil smoke from Iraq is non sense...

Micro plastics in the food we eat.
The gas you put in your truck contributes to the polluted air we breath.
The pot smoke ain't causing the oceans to heat up. JS

Fantastic idea ! I don't see many at the moment, but I'm sure it will catch on. Not so good for long distances, but the air we breathe will be so much healthier in the long run. 
Expense wise ? I'm not too sure about that. I'll look it up and find out.
Happy New Year 🎊🎉❤
