Cannabis Current Events (Part 1)

Other than Garden State Dispensary’s own grow I don’t actually know what the state of the medical program supply is at this point. I still have my card but I’ve rarely purchased in the last few months. I know before and during lockdown they were struggling to meet demand though. If you took Curaleaf growing their garbage and wholesaling it to everyone else most places would most likely still not be keeping up with demand. And how anyone is buying Curathief’s garbage is beyond me, specially since they use that money to lobby against homegrow.

I wish most of the consumers for the medical, or for that matter recreational sales programs in any states cared much about homegrow laws… that would make things much easier for the rest of us. :slight_smile: Personally, I think Murphy’s more likely to one-up Suarez and try to make Bitcoin legal tender than work to legalize homegrowing any time soon.

Aren’t we moving towards BTC being legal tender anyway? I don’t think homegrow is on Murphy’s list at all but it doesn’t need to be. He said the other day he was “open to the thought” for medical, but we’ll see after election day.

After all remember how he legalized weed in the first 100 days…I mean 1000, 10,000? Oh wait we legalized by a vote, not him.

Yep, it’s always a different story before and after election day. He doesn’t have a great track record on proactively following through on his campaign promises - though he might be asked often and loudly enough that he gets backed into a corner, who knows. Probably not, it’s a bit of a niche demo politically speaking.

Regulations simply for the sake of regulations.
This idiocy is tax-payer funded…

You need a driver and passenger wearing body cameras to deliver weed, wtf kind of idiocy is that.

They are not delivering gold bars or thousands of dollars of cash like armed guards.

I don’t know if its like what Baltimore describes the area he lives in, is like, in these places that require these things, and weed delivery drivers need some kind of protection from being robbed, what is the reasoning for it :thinking:

Regulation simply for the sake of regulation, like @Calyxander said… it makes the bureaucrats feel like they’re in control of things. In fact, the more regulations they put in, the more likely they are to drive people who would otherwise be legal underground again.

Every year we get the same warnings. Every year I laugh and say NOBODY is spending that kind of $$ on edibles, only to hand em out to trick or treaters. I mean, do these fear mongers have any idea on cost? Simple logic would say most can’t afford it, well, maybe at Willie Nelson’s house, but the rest of us? Yeah, my $40 budget isn’t $4000 for edibles, and if it was, they’d be FOR ME…

This is a prime example why the news today sucks. Just crappy reporting with little to no factual evidence to back it up…

Since starting this thread over four years ago, I have seen a version of this story appear in various outlets a couple of time each year.
I guess it doesn’t get old.

A lot of interesting information there :+1:

No oil extraction allowed usung anything that can cause an exsplosion in Canada. I think it affects concentrate sales in the legal market, that law may have changed last year but I am not 100% sure.

The DEA and Transportation Security Administration often flag airport travelers who exhibit supposedly suspicious behavior, such as purchasing one-way tickets with short turnaround times and traveling lightly. In 2016, a USA Today investigation found the DEA seized more than $209 million from at least 5,200 travelers in 15 major airports over the previous decade.
