Yeah. The Salem one needs an appointment, printed sheet of paper, a shuttle, and after all that you still pay 300-350 for 28g, but you’ll end up walking out with a gram or 2 at 15/g
I’ll stick to my Friendly neighborhood pot dealer thank you:sweat_smile:
Yeah I can’t afford dispensaries either. I’ll stick to the black market on dark web lol… if all else fails I know a few dealers too, but they charge double what I can get it for online.
here’s a better spin on the day’s events from a newspaper that isn’t owned by John Henry, owner of the Red Sox and Fenway park and seller of $12 Budweiser pints…
Holyoke has 21 marijuana businesses with options on property, and 30 businesses that have expressed interest, Morse said. Holyoke has approved five special permits for retail and cultivation facilities.
“We want to go from the Paper City to the rolling paper city,” Morse said, referring to the city’s nickname as a former center for paper mills.
Look at the fascist FDA chairman - explaining how it works - the FDA grants a monopoly license to Pharma for medicinal herbs, then throws anyone who tries to use or sell them in jail - I think we could still see a large-scale shutdown of all CBD products complete w/ SWAT team raids all over the country - there are thousands of companies and stores selling CBD foods, supplement, pet medications, etc.
Specifically, Gottlieb emphasized that, because components of marijuana such as THC and CBD are “active ingredients in FDA-approved drugs” such as the epilepsy medication Epidiolex, it remains illegal to “introduce drug ingredients like these into the food supply, or to market them as dietary supplements.”
Don’t a majority of the supplements use ingredients that are used in drugs once the molecules are isolated out of it? I feel like there’s a whole plant loophole here or there’s a lot we could do to counter that part of the law
Yep, that’s just them spinning a reason. E.g. Tryptophan is used as the active ingrediants in some FDA approved medications such as Travasol and Prosol.
Using the FDAs line of reasoning, I conclude no more:
since these products contain a component that are also active ingredients in FDA-approved drugs.
The way it was spun makes it sound as though they are looking to protect the pharma’s business interests "because components … are active ingredients in FDA-approved drugs”
