The names they have for some of the strains, oh my! My numero uno fave is Agent Orange. I wish someone would come up with an Agent Smith. Fuckin' A, I'd smoke that!

One strain I will never buy is Jack the Ripper. Just can't do it. So many good strains, why buy one named that?

It took letters, emails & phone calls to get the company to follow up with a refund like they promised. I heard 'the check must have gotten lost' & 'the check got returned by the Post Office' & finally last week got my refund.

I would have figured that they would be better prices than what you pay on the street.

Don't tell me they're gouging people for medical hooch?!

There is a lot of money to be made without screwing the public.

Someone let me know - I'm curious...

But dispensaries give discounts for members & usually have some kind of other daily specials, so you can get better deals. Many of them work with health professionals & offer discounted services like massage & acupuncture.

The edibles are really the way to go, imo. I also use a salve that is so relieving for the pain in my wrist & shoulder from years of checking groceries. Another fave product is a little bottle of drops I put in my tea before bed. My sister takes big pharma sleep aids & has stories of side effects & effectiveness. I drink my cup of tea & sleep fine without any side effects.

While recovering from a car accident, they were such a HUGE help.
And yup, put 'em in my tea.
Didn't get "high" in the traditional sense - it was just my whole body feeling better.

didn't have deadly side effects. Indica worked better than Sativa. Couch lock was what I needed. Since then I'm either doing better, or my pain threshold has changed. I don't need to medicate myself now.

In our stressful culture, it's important to get good rest. To that end, we all should have a selection of natural salves & tinctures to alleviate aches & pains, instead of big pharma's toxic mix*. The products I purchase are all grown, baked, created, locally with locally grown herb. The tax revenue has been substantial.

* That they import from China with very lenient import regs & who the fuck knows what China is doing?

I don't really care if they are saying that the stuff today is more potent.

It's something that grows. The question would be what are they using today
to increase the potency and how much does it cost the grower?

I always figured that if the tobacco companies started to sell when it got legalized
that you should be able to pick up a pack (20 joints) for $50. That would be plenty
of profit and plenty for the tax man and still reduce the price, considerably, over the
current black market prices.

These people should be tar and feathered with all this - What the market will bear - bull crap.

The greed of the American business person is beyond belief!


Thanks for the info... Hope you feel better.

30 years ago weed had resin on the joints, radical cotton mouth, and glazed red eyes. No more today. Back then you could smell a good bag of weed in your pocket even double bagged. Today, you could stand next to a cop and he won't smell a thing. And he won't even think you've smoked anything, because your eyes are fine. The price ONLY went up due to inflation, and demand, not because it's better.

I know there are some here who will say what I say is BS. I lived back then, I have been smoking weed for that long. And no it's not my tolerance either. I smoked with people in the 80's who's tolerance should be where mine is now, and they got wasted back then. So to people who think I spew shit, where is the cotton mouth? Where is the red eye? Where is the resin? Where is the overpowering smell?
It's ALL gone.

I guarantee you'd smell it.

Yesterday I stopped by my dispensary first, then went to my health food store, one block away. I was in the store for 20 minutes. In the parking lot, when I opened the door to my car, I thought, "Damn! I'm glad I have a red card & a receipt!"

And also that I live in Colorado. Let me remind those of you with attitudes about potheads, it used to be legal.

If you smoke the same weed for an extended period (3 months)
and then try something different you'll get a big kick from
the new stuff.

A friend used to keep three different types in his freezer so that he
could switch off every so often.

I don't know why it just works that way.

I always assumed that THC was what it was but something is different.

from whatever.

Nothing like helping the meme of 'the Left are a bunch of granola-eating, tree-hugging pot heads' chug right along.

Thanks from someone who doesn't think broadcasting drug use is the best idea.

Enjoy - I guess.

unaltered from the 'vine' except for some pruning.

Line from an old SNL skit. Couldn't help myself!

Please... You know how many staunch, conservative Republicans I know that have done pot, coke, acid etc.? My girlfriend's step father is a hard core conservative Republican and the only reason he quit smoking pot is because of drug testing.

Being addicted to coke, crack or meth is a bad thing of course but most Americans couldn't care less if someone smokes some weed when they get home from work. I know professional people you'd never even suspect liked them some good weed.

Like the staunch conservative I worked with who was in rehab last time I heard?

Alcohol IS a drug. It's one of the worst drugs around that are legal. Nobody's ashamed of saying they can drink someone under a table. It's rather funny to some. I think it's despicable, but that's me. They even still have commercials for their drug. Their drug is used more by children than pot. And back in the 80's they had 3 frogs telling your child how to say Bud Wise Er, but poor Joe Camel on a billboard in downtown LA has to come down. LOL!

Smoking weed shouldn't be something to be ashamed about. Drinking is.

its advertised on TV and there isn't a thing wrong with using it.

That looks nice.

~slurp

I'll share my potent brownie.

Is that a photo of mara-ja-wanna?

If so....good for you and munchies on, my friend.

After he puts on the hat, I love that he says, "...and everyone knows I'm not interested in children."

Thanks for sharing!

When I was in my 20's, oh so long ago, I went as a joint for Halloween, one year. It was cool. I used a white sheet. A friend of mine, who was very artistic, painted the ZigZag logo on the sheet. I don't recall exactly how I executed it, but it was cool & I was very popular that Halloween.

gives me one hell of a cottonmouth.

I'm still smoking the shake of my one ounce of Grape Ape I bought in the first of the month.. kinda trying to stretch it a little bit.

But I will be making another visit to my dispensary for a fresh supply of something for my back.

Not anymore. Not sure what changed, but my waistline is immensely grateful! Man, I could clean out the fridge with one bad munchie session & head for the pantry next.

and she would always have a jar on hand chilling in the fridge. I'd smoke a joint, get the munchies, and hit a jar of those apricots...syrupy chilled apricot juice...


Your stash looks good. Enjoy! (and swift healing to you)

to supply Americans with pot and drugs. Nice.

And above I said I wouldn't buy Jack the Ripper because of it's name. ~oops.
