So, I'm flipping through this morning's Metro on the subway, and a massive color picture of marijuana in baggies catches my eye (not that I've ever seen marijuana before ... right ...).

Medical marijuana is being pushed in NY legislature right now. They're working on getting some provisions through the political meat grinder, but this was my favorite part:

"Under the bill, doctors must determine that other treatments failed to remedy a patient's problem.
With a doctor's certification, the patient ... would go to any pharmacy, or state or county health department ... and get a 30-day supply - eight ounces at most, the cut-off for felony possession."

EIGHT OUNCES. For ONE MONTH. Are you fucking kidding me?? Think of the black market potential!!!

*smiling like a Cheshire cat!* Oh man: eight ounces a month? Shiiiit, sign me up, LOL! Wonder how much that would cost and would insurance cover it?

Not..that I..know what an ounce would cost. Ok who am I kidding? The dude I used to get my weed from would be able to get an "O" for about 120 dollars, and he'd make that shit last for a good while (especially if his supply was dry).

Black market potential? I know that's right. And imagine the amount of people who would try to get their doctor to certify the use of MM:

"Yo doc. That pain medication ain't workin'. Hook me up wid some of dat medical 'ish!" :p
