Happy New Year…
Testing out some government approved gummies from New Brunswick…
So much for their only start out with half of one…
Maximum 10mg THC per package allowed by law per package.
Got 2 packages, 2 gummies per, to bring home since edibles weren’t available here yet, one for me and one for a Christmas present.
Ate 1 at 4:20 waited 2 hrs, fuck that, ate the other one…
Decent body stone, if I had another pack I would eat another 2…
Time for a joint…
Happy New Years! Make it a good one, everybody! Cheers!
I just have boycotted any ‘legal’ crap from the beginning.
Make your own gummies out of pot you’ve grown for the best buzz.
Black market rulz!
Happy New Year!
Very Ayn Rand of you. Black markets always make for fucked up prices. Regulation is key.
I agree with LabRat. Regulation is key just like the drug war is key. In reality freedom is key not crooks in dc or crooks on the corner.
You really believe that?
We don’t have legalization, we have Prohibition 2.0!
The whole system was previously set up by Herr Harper and Trudy has continued the setup by making sure that his corporate masters get first dibs on any pot profits: Made on the legal market!
The first mistake was assuming that they could price pot higher than the black market, BM.
2nd mistake is that they could allow chemicals that no self-respecting home grower would use on his buds.
3rd mistake was that they thought us old time users would fall for their BS!
4th mistake was letting too many big players into the market while blocking out the ‘artismal’ growers either through regulation or because they have a pot bust in the last decade. Those old pot warriors are the best pool to draw from for the best kind of budz.
It’s going to take another generation, 20 years, to get the legal market to where the market is for alcohol. Lots of people brew their own beer and wine but few distill for hard booze. 90% at least just go buy their buzz at the local vendors. Nobody is running around busting home brewers or making them register to ‘legalize’ their brew rooms.
Growing tobacco is regulated too but where’s the inspectors for that? lol
After 90 years of gov’t propaganda about how deadly pot is takes a while to erase but let’s get real Trudy!
National pot use only went up 3% in this first year and will likely sink back that much now that the newness of it has worn off. 14 - 17% of us admit to using pot. 80% for booze.
Which would you rather have your kids messing with?
Alcohol has stolen most of my life and messed up so many others because of my addiction. Never would have happened were my focus for self-medication on pot.
Screw the ‘legal market’! Carry on my defiant brothers and sisters! BM rulz!
You’re talking to someone who’s been in this particular war for over 20 years now. I know all about prohibition and why we have black markets, and how markets function at their base that will always make a product only available on the black market far more expensive than a product given to proper legislation, quality, and price controls in place.
I didn’t see anything in that post that cancelled out what I am saying, “A legal, properly regulated market will always be far more given to reasonable pricing than a product who’s worth and quality are decided by third parties with no interest in public health.”
Post up a response to just that sentence without going all out on every topic involved in prohibition, and I’ll gladly concede to your well measured points. If, however, your points continue meandering and going off on every side-thought as if it were a paper topic, I will continue to sit here and defend my point.
If you find my points off-topic and meandering, feel free to let me know, so I can get back on course. But if you’re just going to tell me I’m wrong without telling me why, I’ll just leave that sentence here in bold:
[i]“A legal, properly regulated market will always be far more given to reasonable pricing than a product who’s worth and quality are decided by third parties with no interest in public health.”[/i]
Happy New year OG!
Hope you have a good time with the gummies @StillSmoking!
They were alright once I smoked a couple joints and cracked open a bottle of Gibson’s Finest…
Happy New Year 2020! All the best in your endeavours!
Right off the bat you cite a ‘properly regulated market’. Show me where that is evident in the currant ‘legal’ market.
When you compare the hoops small growers have to jump through compared to micro-brewers or even micro-distillers it’s obvious that cannabis ventures are hog-tied from the start.
Does a person applying for a brew permit have to get a criminal record check to prove he wasn’t charged as being a bootlegger in the last decade?
Many of the most knowledgeable growers that are fundamental to the cannabis society we are now evolving into are black-listed from participating because of convictions for draconian laws that we all now know were as wrong as any other that trod on human rights. Gay, trans etc.
Support your corporate masters and only consume ‘legal’ pot.
They will never get a penny from me. A nickle now I guess. 
Yes. A market regulated by market forces not one arbitrarily regulated.
So how did the edibles work out 
?
You misquote me sir.
I never stated anything about market regulation and am opposed to what our gov’t has set up.
I take offense to your inference that I might hold such an ignorant attitude.
The glove is cast. Do you acknowledge your responsibilities?
N’yuk yuk.
No no. It was a quote that you had quoted. Apologies for the quoting confusion.
Thank Jah then!
At my age confusing things bring on fears of oldtimerz disease that my birth mother died from.
I’m now 65 which is the age she was first diagnosed with demetia and other than the dumbass things I do when all medicated up with pot and booze I’m tickety-boo with normal day to day stuff.
Just ordered a Pi computer system kit for $140 to get into getting my grow room educated. Been building and repairing computers since '87 and can program BASIC with a book by my side and now may have to learn Python to really rock the Pi world.
Chess anyone?
