I have a friend in legal state that tells me that all of the product in the shops has been tumbled, to remove the trichs. And I guess that in turn means that all weed (other than self grown) on the market, legal or otherwise, is being tumbled also. If that is true, when did tumbling cannabis before selling it become the norm? Did it cause prices to drop? If no price drop, why? Just curious about things of this nature.

Do you mean machine trimmed when you say ātumbledā?

He meant scuffed, kiefed, basically had the trichs removed. Thatās all you see in the black market here. Rarely have I ever bought a bag that had trichomes.
It just boils down to greed and depends on uniformed consumers like a lot a folks in my state/area.

Sorry, I meant tumbled to remove the crystals from the finished product. That is what he has explained to me, it seems.
All the more reason to Overgrow.
No need to tumble your own lovingly grown flowers.

I agree completely, I was just checking to see what was actually going on out in the wide, wide world of sports.

No doubt some is tumbled, but a lot of it is just poor handling. These guys getting tons of trim bin sift are testing the buds too rough.

Caveat emptor most certainly applies to the wild and woolly, rough and tumble, nascent, legitimate cannabis market.
Seems to me that we should all grow our own!

Yes, they steal the trichs for higher end hash and adding to shitty products and I canāt think of any legal or semi legal producer/seller in Canada that hasnāt been doing this for a decade. Makes me sad to think people are wasting money on this shit but itās another good reason to grow your own.
@Dewb is right itās greed and thats it. Iām sure the LPās will tell you itās for producing consistent products lol Oops this batch is too high in thc Iāll fix that

I was also not aware until this friend told me. That is why I posted it here, to see what others thought about it?
Just curious.

Iāve never smoked anything worth talking about from any LP. I guess there is one company to talk about and thatās Organigram. A friend brought over his second order from them and I tried it and fist puff I said āoh my god what the fuck have they sprayed on thisā and I started to get a headache.

He only ordered from them because they said they didnāt irradiate (cold pasteurize) and were organic. All LPās are garbage period

Itās been a long whileā¦ but the last flower I purchased from a recreational store in Denver was frosty and reasonably satisfyingā¦ it also left a huge mound of kief in my grinder. Iāve not heard of this practice here. Seems like shady black market stuff, not highly regulated legitimate business stuff.
Now, Iāve been lead to believe this site is about growing fine cannabis and not buying it so I will add-
Screw those greedy bastards for stealing the trichs! OverGrow!
Stay hazed

Iām making a trip out to Colorado in the beginning of april, ill be curious to see if I can noticeably tell the difference, should be interesting. May have to bring a scope to make sure it is all there haha.

Always put a scope to my medicine. No longer get it from some places for lack of trichs.
When they have a glass case full of kief for sale itās not from pre-roll or grower/suppliers.
Prior to REC in CAā¦ Dispensaries were āNon-Profitā and margins were good enough to
stay in business. Now they canāt get supply from local growers directly and all has to be
from gov distribution network, blah blah blah and they canāt make enough money to keep
the lights onā¦

My belief is that the legal cannabis industry will follow the same type of trend as the craft/micro brewery industry. What I mean by that is at first a shit ton of rec stores will open up and people will be willing to give them a shot. After time only the quality places will remain in business. Thus weeding out the bad and keeping the good.

It happens to some degree everywhere and should be brought out in the open so consumers know they are being ripped off.
