its legal BECAUSE it won't get you high. some of the [bullshit] reasons weed is illegal is because it impairs your thinking, lowers your reflexes, causes lung cancer, makes regular normal teenagers into angsty gun-toting terrorists (ok I made that one up). the legal buds are so named because they will not do any of this to your body; you won't get high, you won't get buzzed, you probably won't get anything but mad because you wasted your money. they are grown to resemble weed buds, and probably some strains of legal buds will even smell like weed, but you are guaranteed never to find one that has even a hint of THC.
