âEybnaâs belief is that the phytochemical makeup of a strain should be its main identifier instead of the given strain name. This ensures a data-driven standardization that will help bring consistency back to well-loved strains and open new doors for strain innovationâ

So glad to be Canadian!
For a country that professes to be the home of the brave and the land of the free they sure like locking up peeps for harmless crimes.
More people in US jails per capita than any other country on the planet including China or Russia so it seems more like the home of the fearful and the land of the persecuted to me.
Privately run prisons are big money and in the US money talks louder than freedom or decency.
they started building the gulag system right around the same time we de-industrialized and sent the factories overseas to repressive regimes. Today the US has 8 times the jail cells we did in 1970. Kind of tells you what the oligarchs are planning for us.
They were interested in investing in the middle class for a while after the Depression and WWII but that didnât last long
Iâm so happy to have grown up in the glory days as a boomer but sad we left such a mess for the rest.
The US became the predominant world power after the two world wars that it entered late both times to help out at the ends but claim most of the credit. Unfortunately it used these new powers to force itâs needs over others for profit and what with war being so profitable became a war mongering nation bent on financial domination that it still practises.
There would not have to be a war on terror if the US hadnât made so many enemies around the world that hate them so much.
America has been on a very dark path for decades now and I fear that it will take another civil war in the US before any change is made for the better. Itâs really shaping up that way and Biden is not doing much to change things peaceably.
Mañana mañanaâŠ
this is great news! Suck it, Guiliani, you vampire bastard!!! (just had to say that

Thatâs whatâs going on here in Canada too. I follow a thread on RIU about the crash in prices for even top shelf bud that less than a year ago was going for $2500/lb and might get 800 this year. If theyâre lucky. One guy owns a hydro store out in Maple Ridge, BC and hasnât sold to a big grower in months and canât live off hobby growers. No more dudes walking in and dropping huge cash on the counter to set up a grow house these days.
meanwhile, over here in good old dirty joisey, where I can smoke it and give it, just not buy it or sell it, Iâve been hearing of growers getting $3-4k a lb. One local âgifting / donationâ based shop (owned by a former cop, who retired from the force because the shop was making enough to open 3 more, and he still canât keep up), well, I hear heâs been offering $4k a lb just to keep his businesses stocked. Sells, or âgiftsâ a 1/4, with a $100 donation. Canât wait till this state figures out its shit⊠At least its looking like licenses will be affordable (though, I donât need a license to grow tomatoes, why do I need one for cannabis?)
They just made a huge mistake if they wanted to snuff out the grey market here. Theyâre granting Weedman legitimacy, which means they just set precedent that states you can just sell untested weed to the public with zero consequence and eventually they will allow it or issue you a license. Obviously itâs not cut and dry and you could find yourself in court making this case, but itâs a semi valid argument.
NJ Weedman. LOL, that dudes a trooper, been at it forever, he earned that!
Precedentâs are good too, especially in court⊠
Its funny, I donât mind the rules regarding what you can feed / treat your plants with, sadly its there for the unscrupulous ones, or the uneducated ones. Anybody whoâs smoked good herb, knows miracle grow when they tasted it. Anybody worth their salt in growing, already knows not to do most of what those rules say not to do anyway. So really, those rules are for the idiotsâŠ
Iâve read (and posted a link above somewhere) that dirty jerzey is structuring the licenses from $100/$1000 for small startups, and up. Opening the door for craft grows, and allowing little guys to compete with big canna⊠I hope it comes to fruition (lol no pun intended), I mean, it IS the Garden State supposedlyâŠ
How the hell did I miss that?! 
What does miracle grow taste like?
Anyway, where I live there are lots of places where you can get ozâs for $100 all day.
At $800 a pound thatâs not very much profit. Not that Iâm in the market or anything, but still.
Hell, if I had to include my time in my costs then it wouldnât be worth it. But I enjoy it so I donât consider it work. And I get a better quality product by far.
The numbers have changed so much itâs hard to do the math but from a quality perspective itâs still worth it.
