Not necessarily current events but I didnā€™t want to resurrect any of the r k s threads

A little misinformation but overall good to know some professional growers are starting to focus a little more on things other than thc numbers

I donā€™t know how I feel about those they seen to just replace or add terpenes and not stop loss of the natural terpenes in the flowers

Makes me wonder if itā€™s a way to push stale product or enhance shitty product I get that terpenes are natural but it just seems real extra and not cost effective I would think the UV jars with a mason style lid would be cheaper and more effective if preserving the terpenes was the goal

Iā€™ve never had anything tested but I wouldnā€™t think that much terpenes are lost in a month

Well, I am, at best, skeptical about this productsā€™ ability to preserve the original, natural terpenes.
However, this is moot for me, because I do not see myself ever purchasing anything from any dispensary.
I have been stockpiling mason jars for my upcoming dotage, when I can no longer grow my favorite flowers.

Or, she simply decided to hop aboard the anti cannabis propaganda train.
This week produced more than a smattering of anti cannabis stories in the media.

These silly propaganda stories seem to come in waves.

Itā€™s well-known and openly acknowledged that those advice columns are written as fiction, Dear Abby, Anne Landers, etc., admitted that years ago.

Banks Suspected Illegal Activity, but Processed Big Transactions Anyway

A leak of thousands of ā€œsuspicious activity reportsā€ that banks filed with regulators shows the widespread nature of illicit money flows.

A cache of thousands of reports that major banks filed with federal regulators shows that they helped suspected terrorists, drug dealers and corrupt foreign officials move trillions of dollars around the world, despite the banksā€™ concerns about the suspicious nature of the transactions.

BuzzFeed obtained suspicious activity reports filed by the largest U.S. lenders ā€” including JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Bank of America ā€” and major international institutions like Deutsche Bank, HSBC and Standard Chartered. Many of those banks have been repeatedly penalized by U.S. and other authorities for their roles in money laundering.

I am somewhat skeptical regarding the objectivity of whatever selection process was used in devising this list of the alleged five ā€œbestā€ seed banks.

And I have never purchased seeds from any of these banks.

However, I thought I would share.

Iā€™m pretty sure the selection process was mainly checking the affiliate programs. Itā€™s in the sponsored section and all seedbank links are affiliate links.

Thanks for your help, somehow I missed the gigantic banner above the ā€œarticleā€ which reads
Sponsored.

Wow!

Yikes.

I think they added it later on. I have not seen it either. I just checked the links for affiliate stuff because of the style of that listing, then found ā€˜sponsoredā€™ in the URL

I work in south Portland, Maine. Thereā€™s a store that just opened up in the strip mall next to where I work. I just drove by to check it out on my break but the line was crazy, and thereā€™s a group protesting the out of state company, telling everyone to support local stores and farmers. I get and agree with supporting local, but I also see how it is discriminatory to try and make it part of the law like they tried to. Legal is legal, yes youā€™ll have competition.
