I haven’t read the details yet. I’m sure there will be some disappointments in there. But it’s a start!

I haven’t been able to find the details either, granted I haven’t looked too hard haha.
I have seen, broadly, no more fees for med patients, including tags, and they are allowing home grows! Curious if they’ll allow outdoor grows, but I kind of doubt it.
I will still keep my med patient status :+1:

Yeah! That’s cool. I hope med patients can grow without buying the tags. (Not that I’ve ever bought the tags since I’ve gotten my med card… :joy:)
I’ll be keeping my med status as well, cause why not?

From the article:

“Do you know how hard it is to raise a single cannabis plant from seed to sexy? Incredibly. I’m growing plants at home right now and them lil’ babies are looking mad ugly, lemme tell ya.”

That’s simply quite a silly and incorrect assertion. Cannabis is one of the easiest plants that I have ever grown.

And of course, overgrowing is the best way to alleviate any concern over prices.

I mean, it is High Times, it’s bound to involve some halfbaked stupid statements.

That said they do have a point when it comes to hypothetical people longing for dirty cheap weed, the race to the bottom on prices in some markets isn’t likely to do good things long-term. Presumably we will see US national legalization eventually and then big multinational companies will no doubt step in and flood the market and try to stamp out local competition. Building a solid market for higher quality flower at a moderate price point might help maintain a vibrant market? Kinda shooting in the dark on that last part.

Anyway, I can’t say I actually buy from dispos (often), but I think there’s a pretty wide market of people who want to purchase cannabis at a store, not grow and harvest and trim and dry and cure it themselves.

Truth is they are about 20 years behind unfortunately

Once places with a warm climate start to do it right it’s going to be a huge industry. Sitting on a beach or by the pool in Thailand, Mexico or Costa Rica puffin on some high grade tree whilst sipping on a margarita will be a game changer
