    Hypothetical question... would you use marijuana for medicinal purposes only?

    There's also marijuana butter, tea, brownies ( as mentioned ), cookies. I have not smoked in 16 years but I fully support legalization.

    Hydrometer + Refractometer

    I know that the pivot arm type hydrometer is not considered accurate but how accurate is a glass hydrometer? I know you have to do temperature compensation, which I'm comfortable with, but are they accurate?

    How Small Can I Go?

    I am totally new to having an aquarium. I have the Conscious Aquarist as my first book and I read some of the posts on this forum. I live in a NYC apartment and space can be at a premium. I think the biggest I can fit width wise is 36". So I could get a tank that is 30 gal. to 45 gal. depending...
