Eatables as they are called here are quite popular for those concerned about smoke inhalation. It's never concerned me because I've never come close to smoking what a typical tobacco smoker does, but yea inhaling just about anything other than oxygen ultimately can't be good for you. Seems like just plain common sense to me. Another thing that's happening is the development of strains which minimize or eliminate the psycho-active effect, i.e. the THC, but still have the medical benefits. Very popular with those suffering from chronic condition's which
cannabis helps alleviate, but who have no desire to get high. The medicinal benefits of cannabis continue to be studied and well documented as beneficial by medical science. I get the "munchies" thing, a long noted side effect for some, but for those dealing with chemo therapy and other appetite suppressing conditions it is a desirable one. Another common side effect for some is paranoia. Fortunately I've never suffered from either. Would I be posting this stuff on an internet board, and weigh 145 lbs. if I did?
For out-of-stater's beware the ability to buy in Colorado. Once you cross the state line just having any amount is a federal offense. On I-70 from the Colorado border to around Salina, KS your automatically a suspect drug courier if you have a Colorado plate on your car. Not quite as
bad, but similar to the stretch of I-25 from El Paso to Socorro, NM (I lived in NM for 8 years). That's pretty much a police state where they completely block off the road at times, and force every vehicle over for an interrogation and/or inspection. As an American citizen I found that offensive. I should not have to explain to anyone where I've been, where I'm going, or why. That BS is for the rest of the world, not the United States. But it's a way of life in southern New Mexico, and increasingly for any major road leading out of Colorado.
