Legalization made everything better up here except the naked lust for money. That took a shit on the industry.
Oh fuck yes! Perhaps even more than one…

I went back to look at the jar I picked up… I hadn’t noticed before but this particular brand lists the testing date and the packaging date, but doesn’t give a harvest date. I buy so rarely that I can’t remember for sure but I thought some labels did list harvest date (maybe I’m thinking of Vermont, I dunno).
Anyway, tested and packaged a month ago.
I had fairly good luck with the brand in the past but this flower is kinda meh. Thankfully I have plenty of my own… just thought I’d give it a try now seeing I was there for gummies and it’s relatively cheap.
On the topic of everyone growing… I suspect the major turn-off for a lot of people would be the drying and curing process. I have a friend who grew a few plants on his rooftop deck when his state first went legal… I think he ultimately found it easier to just have flower delivered.

That seems to be the common opinion around here too.
Most folks seem to only care about easy and cheap, quality not so much.
These are the same people who will say …“Why do you need to grow your own?”

Some of them… I don’t think he feels that way. Also he lives in MA and I think homegrows were written into the binding voter ballot initiative that legalized adult use.
Still, access to cheap cannabis of passable quality is most people’s goal, and it isn’t in the interest of the governing (tax receiving) body to include homegrows when they’re writing laws.

Cops in illegal states have a hard-on for busting people coming from legal states with anything on them. That only gets worse the second someone mentions forming a task force.

I still say the answer is “seed bombs”. The battle cry of this community is “ OVERGROW THE WORLD”. That is what we should do. They cant stop it, if it is growing everywhere.

the only problem with that is having all that illegal weed growing everywhere with nobody culling the males will turn my field of legal hemp too hot to use and i have to destroy it. i really appreciate folks NOT ruining my crop and wasting my time and money.

That sounds like jet fuel for reefer madness style propagandists.
The wheels turn slow, but they are turning. At this point, vigilance, activism, and preservation of old genetics are perhaps the most important factors for the future of marijuana.

you are correct but the only one of the three that will do any good is this one. the others won’t really matter much because while we can be vigilant and watch it happen, no amount of activism that will realistically be garnered will have any effect on it. too much money and power opposing running the show. not to be discouraging, just realistic.
some folks get way too discouraged when they become activists and quit like i almost did. but when they come into the show with both eyes open and a realistic viewpoint and not purely idealistic, then they tend to stick around and make small differences. baby steps. once the dust has settled from whatever they end up doing in about 10 years or so, maybe less, we can quietly step in with the seeds we’ve been making and sharing and pick up the pieces, then make the changes we want to see.

Activism isn’t just picketing and marches, activism is doing whatever you can, big or small to move in the right direction.
If people don’t believe they can make a difference, they won’t. If they think they can, there’s a shot.

that’s what i found out and why i said that. when people go in thinking “i can change the world next year” they get discouraged. when they go in thinking “i am going to make changes but it may take years before they come to fruition as long as i don’t stop” they tend to make those changes. think historically like abolitionists and prohibitionists and how their movements worked in the long run.

What’s funny about this is hemp fields typically ruin people’s outdoor grows lol

i would never have worried about it before. we need to make some sort of change that says if you process hemp for fiber it doesn’t matter what the thc content is. you can’t really eat paper and get high, i don’t think. now there is an experiment someone should do. i’ll do it at the end of this grow.

I agree. You are being forced to play by an unjust rule when it comes to thc levels. As far as activism is concerned, you can not treat the government like they are an honest player. They are not. I have fought this war for 43 years and I will tell you that the government doesnt “do the right thing” until they are forced to. Sadly, some times you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

I have been saying this same thing for years.
Others feel the same as I do.
It would seem this is not just fearmongering as some of you have insinuated. 
The Results of Rescheduling Marijuana May Not Be What You’d Expect
Rescheduling is on the table now, but it would come with some awkwardness. First, it likely would not be available in the forms current marijuana consumers are used to — no smokable joints or pot brownies, maybe no edibles or vapes or anything attractive to minors, just traditional medicinal forms, such as pills, oils or topical ointments. It would therefore miss the overwhelming majority of today’s marijuana consumer market.
Big pharmaceutical companies might take over a significant portion of the medical market, devastating the existing industry.

Opinion articles aren’t the best way to prove a point…it’s just an echo chamber. Anyone can search out opinions that reflect theirs, it doesn’t typically mean much.

I was aware it was an opinion piece.
While not the best to prove a point, it does show others have the same opinion as I do.
Sure but this article talks about what is most likely and makes good logical sense .
Can you tell me why this does not make sense?
Why do you think it will not happen?
Do you have anything to counter my opinion piece?
Do you have a counter-opinion piece you could post that would shore up your opinion on this topic?
Without a counterargument just saying…“Naw!”
Does not mean much typically.
I have given many examples for why I feel the way I do.
Others feel the same way.
You do not.
Can you explain to us why you feel we are wrong?
Otherwise your “Naw” does not mean much. 
Please tell us why you feel this opinion piece has it all wrong.
Here is your big chance to educate us all on this topic…
Yes, I think your opinion piece is fear mongering because according to the federal government, hone growing is already illegal.
No, why would I seek out and post an opinion article to back up my opinion? That’s just creating an echo chamber.
Others feel the earth is flat. Just because a group of people feels a specific way does not make it correct.
I already have on numerous occasions. Just because you don’t like my answer concerning yoyr fear mongering does not mean I haven’t already done so.
Being ‘wordy’ does not make you correct.
