I'm repeating myself but here goes. If a checkpoint finds even a small amount, they will take it and hassle you. Cops even a bigger hassle.

I'm enjoying Baja with a beer right now. It's made from plants and water
(a chemical!) and as far as I know is legal here. I drink beer because I like the taste and refreshment, not to get high - which is the only reason to
use "recreational" THC (C₂₁H₃₀O₂)...OOH - another "chemical". Not a moral issue, simply common sense.

Have to admit I judge alcoholics. For about a minute or two.
Experienced the sacred herb in Nam in '65. Never grew up I guess. |
I'm thinking you don't know what you're talking about. I'm presently in my little casa less than two miles from a little Baja town where I have been
honored to make dozens of friends over the last 50 years. I "experienced" plenty of that smoke the same time you did, and I don't like alcoholics any
more than you do. |

How old are you? This makes no sense at all.
If your beer is 5%+ alcohol, you're getting a buzz whether you like it or not. More you drink more buzz and tolerance you have. If you didn't
like the buzz, you wouldn't drink.
Your nonsense looks hypocritical. You know nothing about THC or the reasons the public uses legal THC.
You come across as a moralist. Judging anyone here and their poison belongs in OT. Troll.

So now you're judging me as a moralist and a troll?
I said "HIGH", as in drunk, not the negligible effects of two beers which is about all I normally do. As opposed to the use of recreational - not
medical - marijuana, the purpose of which is to seriously alter mental function. As for what I know about THC, I had enough about 50 years ago in my
college days to figure it out...it doesn't have to be "cooked up in a lab" to be a drug.

No, the purpose of marijuana is not to "seriously alter mental function".
You are seriously naive if you think you can spot someone who has just smoked a joint because they are going to appear to be "HIGH as in drunk".
And FYI, recreational and medicinal marijuana are the same thing, just like a glass of whiskey is still the same glass of whiskey whether you are
drinking it just because you like the taste, or whether it calms down your cough or relieves your back pain.

David Nuevo I think you are misunderstanding the way that most adult users of Marijuana use the drug. I have a few hits of my "legal" vape cartridge
and get a mild buzz, similar to say 2-3 drinks. The difference is I then usually go to bed and sleep like a baby, I wake up with zero effects no fuzzy
head like I would with alcohol. I know you tried it 50 years ago but you should really give it a chance rather than relying on you experience from 50
years ago, your brain has matured and your ability to interpret the effects and enjoy them.

I doubt if we're ever going to see eye to eye here. I'll just leave it with this: If you want to pollute your lungs with legal smoke in the U.S. be my
guest. My main point was that I'm high/buzzed...whatever you want to call it... enough just being in Baja. It's been fun - I'm out.

The legalization of cannabis in much of the U.S. has resulted in some high-quality tinctures and edible products that are a far cry from the days of
cash transactions in dark parking lots. Some combine a small amount of THC with melatonin for a "buzz-free", restful night of sleep with no morning
hangover. It's also resulted in educated consumers instead of just pot heads. Or so I've heard. 
But to the OP's question, I don't know if such an enterprise exists in Baja, let alone La Paz. Even if decriminalized, there may not be a business
model for legal cannabis. Yet.

A friend I have known for almost 50 years suffers from Parkinsons Disease. CBD is not a cure but greatly reduces some of the symptoms.
I personally have never tried it.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Interesting subject. I've read small amounts for personal use in MX is legal. Gov't can't open dispensaries without the bad boys wanting in.
Guess that's that.
And it means grow your own. Too bad.

Thanks for the tip Stillinbaja !! I searched 420 smoke shop in la paz and found a store that sells all the paraphanalia necessary for the consumption.
He advised me that it wasn't legal in this state yet but they anticipate that sometime this year it will be legal to sell in BCS. He did give me some
great advice on where to go, prices were good too!! 250 pesos for 1/2 ounce 16grams.

Does the store have a web or Facebook page?
