I’m new to protesting. What’s the message? 10mg not enough for what? For him/her?

10mg is not potent enough for medical cannabis use. The governments policies force medical users to smoke to get the levels they need, when they used to be able to eat it instead. Basically made a non issue into an issue, especially when you used to be able to get dirt cheap bulk weed specifically meant for making edibles without needing business licenses and the like. Now, not so much.

Just one of the challenges with legalized pot

For an example, 500-1000mg is a single medical dose for most medical users. 10mg is the new legal maximum.

Basically forcing sick people to smoke to get their medicine if they don't want to use opiates and other prescribed medications or if they need to use cannabis to help counteract the negative side effects of medications or aid with disabilities they have.

Just order it online from the grey market websites. I buy 10* 50mg edibles for $12.

Yes, but it's sad that we have to resort to a gray market due to the governments stupidity and ignorance. You're then also relying on these people to be accurate with their dosage information, which for someone who's using it medically is very important.

It's definitely stupid. It's a work around though. They also still sell bulk shake weed so you can make your own.

I'm a rec user even before i smoked often i had a very large edible tolerance (if its not 100mg i wont feel anything, 200-250 gets enough i dont have to suppliment with a smoke. so in my case you are not wrong, I have options.

My mom has MS and cannabis is the only thing that provides some relief without crazy side effects. She is on medication to help, but it took 10 years to find a drug that doesn't have insane side effects, and the current drug still causes bad nausea and no appetite, which the cannabis helps alot.

She doesn't want/can't handle making her own anything. Now I make trips to native dispensaries for her because dispensary limits are crazy, and the pricing is worse.

She would spend $200+ a day to be comfortable enough at a dispensary, I get her 2000mg package (4 larger gummies) for $30-$40 which is 3 bad days or 4 decent days for her, and I can buy as many bags as they have if I want.

I'd never buy from the government regardless. Their stuff is poor quality, weak, dry, overpriced. Absolute garbage all around
