I work for persons with other abilities every day, and this is just amazing for some of the unintentional self-harm that can come with severe Autism. Choked me up a bitch to watch the instant transformation.
F-Texas laws.

This would only be a problem if the cannabis was contaminated. But keep in mind cannabis is a powerful bio-accumulator of heavy metals in the air and soil.
In my opinion, this just goes to show that people should take precautions against environmental contamination, and medical / recreational markets should require testing for heavy metals and other industrial byproducts. In oregon they test cannabis for environmental contaminants found in water and soil at superfund cleanup sites in this state.

THIS RIGHT HEREâŠ
This is where NJ revealed their true selfs. Pfizer has LOTS of facilities here. And last week NJ fucked us with their application program, including a TON of last minute requirements that us little guys would struggle to meet but Pfizer would have a legal team to create what the state wants in a day, if they didnât already have them (lots of SOPs).
I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, but 12/10 - 12/15 that all came crashing down and I see NJs true colors.
GRRRR It PISSES ME OFF⊠Like the fatcat pharma companies need to make even more money, and the general population is merely getting crumbsâŠ
NJ FUCKED us⊠Plain and simple. âSocial equityâ only works for BIG PHARMA, not the actual people who deserve / need it. Funny, that article was published 12/15, and that just happened to be the date applications would be open. Donât even get me started on that clusterfuck.
Micro cultivators had NO limits on # of licenses as of the 10/15 meeting of the NJCRC. Suddenly, FIVE days before application period opens on 12/10, âOnly 37 cultivators licenses will be issuedâ Including Class I thru V, AND Micro (micro wasnât supposed to be limited).
The state will adjust that cap Feb 22, 2023. Gee, ANOTHER year wait for me? Thanks NJ! No wonder people leave this state at such an alarming rate, its run by a bunch of bureaucratic asswipes!
Edit. PS that article SUCKS too. âExcept most, if not all, of those minority license winners were white women.â UHM, NOBODY has won yet. MOST of us have STILL not received verification emails to even BEGIN the application process!!! But the way its leaning, big pharma will get those first 37 licenses. not the âsocial equityâ they described at the meeting on 10/15 which I was there for. GRRR
âIn the following days, applicants of color would go on to claim that they had not received accurate points for being âminorityâ applicants in the scoring and award process.â
In the following days NOT A GOD DAMN THING HAPPENED. The applications couldnât be filed until 12/15 and we didnât even have that date back then! The biggest issue then, and still now, âMinority owned businessesâ get that status from the previous THREE years of tax returns for that business. WELL, with a BRAND new business, how do you prove its minority owned? (I am Hispanic, and I damn well for sure will use the minority status!). But, with a new business, how do you qualify for minority owned status without being in business 3 years? This state is just a clusterfuck of idiots running the showâŠ
/rant off now

âItâs clear that the current tax construct is presenting unintended but serious challenges."

Are theses consequences really unintentional?

Sorry about this man! Good job trying to start a âlegalâ business. 37 licenses for 9 million people is obviously bullshit, there should be 5,000 licenses

Curaleaf Likely to Face Wrongful Death Lawsuit Tied to Mislabeling CBD Products
A lawyer who won a previous case against Cura, a company recently acquired by Curaleaf, said the incident is due to âcutting corners.â
from article:
âTHC dosing was a substantial factor in his inability to survive COVID,â Fuller said.
"His family believes that it wasnât the THC that killed him, but his family believes that it was a substantial factor in affecting his health to where he was basically, after that experienceâŠ

Iâm sure the king still got his cut but youâre right, it is ludicrous.

These record-breaking numbers reflect the perverse impact of the governmentâs efforts to reduce drug-related deaths. The surge in fatalities followed a successful campaign to reduce opioid prescriptions, which drove nonmedical users toward black-market substitutes that are much more dangerous because their purity and potency are unpredictable.
Between 2010 and 2017, the number of opioid prescriptions per 100 Americans fell by 28 percent; the rate of high-dose opioid prescriptionsâdefined as 90 morphine milligram equivalents or more per dayâfell by 56 percent. Meanwhile, annual opioid-related deaths have more than tripled since 2010.

I dunno if itâs good or bad news but my grandmother finally passed away today. For me itâs a blessing and if anything I feel happy rather than sadness 
The mood amongst the family is a little weird. No one is upset that sheâs gone.
My mother got her blood results back a few days ago also and they came back clear 
Huge weight off my shoulders but still gonna buy stuff I need in to prepare for the future.

Stating the obviousâŠ
If we then run a new initiative in 2024 to fix Prop 64 once and for all, we can deliver to the voters of California the bounties of the cannabis/hemp economy they expect and deserve, and restore freedom to the cannabis galaxy. That is the only hope.
