WEED, The Official Thread

I assume I'm already on a watchlist from when i bought Claritin D this spring.

I had to buy cold medication at Target and they had an employee scan my ID in the self checkout line. I told her it seemed like a dumb policy to have me (obviously sick) hand her my ID but whatever.

I dunno about that, in Cali they don't scan your ID, not sure why they would in Mass and it's a cash business everywhere. I agree with the idea of trying to stay off lists and anyway stores will be open in Mass any minute now, I'd wait on the MMJ.

Actually I've been waiting, I coulda got my Mass MMJ card a couple years ago but decided not to for exactly this reason. Who knows how crazy this country might get at some point in the future. Better to keep your head down imo. Probably just needless paranoia but still.

Agreed and in that case I would wait as well. I always assume they scanned my ID when bought in CO but maybe not.

So assuming one lived in a soon (?) to be retail friendly state like MA but was qualified for an mmj card...is there a good reason not to get it?

Cost? Hassle? Getting fucked on insurance premiums in the future?

I assume pros are tax savings, supply, less of a shitshow than the first year or retail here and less uncertainty around when that will happen?

I have a friend in your boat. I hear the tax savings are significant and you can have up to 2 "caretakers" who can shop on your behalf/account. It works out well for him/them.

Getting closer, but they sure as fuck have dragged their feet on this one.

Talk about dragging their feet. I have no idea when Maine is going to have retail

Once those two are opened they're still:
1) remote as fuck
2) the only recreational sales on the east coast.
And there dont seem to be any others within a 6 month to 1 year timeframe.

I'm thinking recreational will be a shitshow for a while still.

Wait till NY gets in the game. Then you'll see a real shitshow

[iceman]

In Mass. nobody at the state level wants to be the guy who's the last signature on the document that lets the first store open. Once they get one open it will go pretty fast I think.

Yeah, that shithead Gov is the issue up there.

So much for the 'will of the people' eh?

[cat in january]

yup there have been a number of instances where we voted for something, but he knew better than the rest of us and delayed its implementation. The state legislature deserves blame too as they can't get their act together.


edit so I had to look up what the status was of the law change voters had approved in November 2016. "The state set an April 30, 2019, deadline for a consultant to develop rules required to begin adult-use cannabis sales" How the legislature responds to those rules and how long it takes to actually go in effect I have no idea. Perhaps quicker than I guess with neighboring Canada, Massachusetts and Vermont seeing economic benefit.

If your in a legal state where you can grow your own, that is the way I would do it. Our girls are in their first week of flower growth now. Last grow yielded about a pound of great bud from 6 plants.
In CA, the shops don't give you a break on the taxes paid even if you bring a medical card in, so again, just grow your own IMO. Vaping flower is nice and muffins for insomnia FTW.

Doesn't the shop have to be a multi use med/retail, or med only to give tax breaks? That's how I understood it. I thought there were different license designations?

Perhaps. The 4 stores we have been in did not give any break for having a medical license and being that we are happy with what we can grow, fuck those price gouging stores.

No retail in VT. Grows are limited to two matures. WTFF???

I kinda like it. "Grow your own fucking weed"

We're about to have so much weed in this state it's going to change the market and economics.

Yeah like the grow your own. Wife just is not down with having plants around and it is not a battle I want to wage.

[riser4]

Right, there are legit reasons why GYO doesn't work for everyone.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

I know, but the point is the market will be Flooded, hit your friends up for some weed, yo.

I am that stubborn guy who wants to buy it legally in a store. I know, that's a quaint idea.

[Tippster]

Someone clue me in on why high % CBD tinctures cost extra. The lovely budtender where I went last Friday in Boulder ad no answer why the 90/10 mix was 2x as much as the 50/50.

[jackstraw]

Yeah, I want to buy edibles that are dialed in. I'd grow my own for flower, but I'm not into the process of making edibles. It would be easier for me to just buy it.

The shops are making money, but its the taxes that are killing everyone. Big risk opening up a shop. Any day the hammer could come down.

[Tippster]

Conversely you can grow and possess in DC, but you cannot buy (directly.)

[riser4]

for something like weed you have got to be kidding.
if dawn and jeff were gonna go after any group, it’d been the bakers first, if either thought they’d have a chance in hell of stopping the legal train.
everyone that baked told the feds to back off, they’d listen.
fuckers want you to be scared of the man&their fucked law

There's other reasons. I'll leave that to the imagination.

Although I am gravely concerned that this could lead to recreational legalization in Zion and what about the chillern ! I have decided to go against the Church and Vote for Prop 2.

Please dont tell my Bishop or there may be a kerfuffle during testimony on sunday
