Nice, Sounds like you had a great time.

Original Franks Pepes is only way to experience it. Since franchising out similar to Nardelliā€™s. Its noticeably off. My theory is its hard replicate the love from one person to another across all businesses.

Next time youā€™re in the area and if you havenā€™t given BAR a try. Modern ,Sallys ,BAR ,Frank Pepeā€™ are all in the same ballpark but some like certain spots more. Now Iā€™m craving a Foxon park, there orange soda is very sweet but hits the spot.

That one on Whalley isnā€™t great so you saved money and especially time. I wanted to try them out after rec sales were legal. The 8th was super dry, zero terps. Crumbled away. Sad to see your money turn to dust.

Since then, I canā€™t support it. It may have changed since then but similar to the Pizza theory. Less love in the product.

One more point of uncertainty in the ny market. They really provide minimal clarity on just about anything
They picked biotrac? For the company for traceability. Any company thatā€™s compatible is acceptable. Starting this year every plant has to be individually tagged

My old stomping grounds, I used to walk in through the kitchen when my buddy managed modern some years ago. The owner is a solid dude, I havenā€™t been there in years. Their meat bomb pizza was always my favorite. I havenā€™t had foxon park in so long. And the mashed potato pizza at bar is phenomenal.

This is the biggest reason that smoking Medical cannabis is doomed.
Does anyone really believe doctors are going to recommend you smoke cannabis.

I personally spoke to a heart specialist and he said there is no evidence that cannabis effects the heart negatively, unless of course you smoke it.

It doesnā€™t help that the US has a history of denying funding to cannabis studies that want to find any positive links between the herb and wellness. NIDA is in charge of choosing which studies get federal funds, and they overwhelming approve the studies that are looking to find a negative impact on health. Thatā€™s one of the reasons why so many doctors are uneducated about cannabis (even the ones who actually try to stay educated about it are often misled by the biased studies)

I do smoke it, but hardly shocking that smoking something is bad for your circulatory system.

Does anyone really believe that inhaling hot smoke (no matter what kind) does not negatively affect oneā€™s body?!

Thatā€™s why I primarily vape. Itā€™s only half as bad for the lungs as smoking, yet I can delude myself into thinking that itā€™s totally harmless! :see_no_evil: :hear_no_evil: :speak_no_evil:

NOTE: this statement has been made in jest since I have no data on the long-term effects on vaping vs smoking.

Nor do Iā€¦
The first questions that need to be asked are what is in the vape that makes it vaporize at a low temp?
Glycol ect.
How do they affect the lungs and body?
Also, do they add terps?
Are the terps of cannabis origin?
If not, are non-cannabis terps harmful to the lungs?
Are there heavy metals in the vapor due to the Chinese metal parts?

Those are the questions I would be asking.
Vaping very well could be less harmful but it also could be worse but in a different way.
I really donā€™t knowā€¦just spitballinā€™ here.
