There's been a string of dispensary robberies in Southern California throughout the year.

This would not have been necessary if Christy had not done everything he could in order to decimate the original bill. Good riddance to the tube of shit !

I got certified for the NY MM program today after a rather desultory consult with a midtown Gastroenterologist!
Have now registered for a card on ny state website which will be mailed to me, hopefully damn soon. At which point I can do to the dispensary in union square.
One iffy point: he specified high-THC low-CBD and I was very much expecting the other way around?

you'd be better off with one if the delivery guys in NYC. My nephew has a guy come by with the whole assortment of labeled meds from CA

yeah... in PA i can qualify for MM and i might do it for the novelty (and i guess to have the RX on hand in case i ever get stopped? unlikely) but it seems like it'll still be cheaper and easier to use other means of procurement

maybe once I have it I can supplement with some drops of CBD oil at the same time? Bad idea?

High THC/low CBD just means it's basically the same mix as anything you've ever used recreationally. If that has worked for your GE issues (Crohn's?) then you don't need to supplement CBD.

ah, in case of not being experienced, some CBD drops in advance (they have to be digested, and you need to take a fairly hefty amount - like 20-30mg+ of CBD at once) to dull possible anxiety from the THC is probably advisable.

brimstead otm x100, just waited 20 mins behind a bunch of basics asking stupid stupid questions so that I could pay $70 for an eighth and a joint (in fancy bourgeoise packaging) which was then slapped with a 20% tax by the city (and i had to pay $3 for a childproof security bag)
I regret voting for legalization
― the late great, Friday, 2 February 2018 03:52 (six years ago) link
I mean not really because fuck the drug war and the prison industry but this is wack
when i was in Oregon prices were low and quality was high - maybe it will just take awhile for the market to adjust
― the late great, Friday, 2 February 2018 03:54 (six years ago) link
Tempting to say just decriminalize it and wipe convictions instead of the regulatory processes but let's be honest about what unregulated capital would do with weed products. There'd be a higher percentage of DDT than THC.
― louise ck (milo z), Friday, 2 February 2018 04:11 (six years ago) link
i should shut up, american spirits cost like $10 here now so it's not like a 20% vice tax is that out of line w/ everything else, and the product is higher quality ...
― the late great, Friday, 2 February 2018 04:21 (six years ago) link
delivery services are getting very popular, probably because they're dodging the taxes and passing on the savings to the consumer. wonder how that's going to get shut down?

tlg 70 for an eighth is outrageous, ounces are on special for 100 here in Oregon
I think you're right that is is a new market/supply + demand issue, hopefully things will get better. the childproof bags are so wasteful!
― sleeve, Friday, 2 February 2018 05:07 (six years ago) link
yeah it is! i think you can get good quality ounces for like $199 if you use a delivery service. i should shop around more.
because of zoning laws + permit uncertainty there are only like 5-10 legal dispensaries in a county of 3 million right now, that's probably contributing to the situation
― the late great, Friday, 2 February 2018 05:14 (six years ago) link
it took like 2 years for the price to settle down here in CO, it used to be like 200+/ounce for okay weed or 350+ for good stuff right after amendment 64 passed, nowadays i got a place i go to down the street that has great herb for 130/ounce.
you still get hosed at least a bit everywhere for buying, say, an eighth rather than a full ounce, but i mean a whole ounce is a lot of weed... i go through prolly close to an ounce a month btwn myself + smoking out friends and clients, i should write this shit off lol

"The DEA said a huge percentage of the heroin addiction starts with prescriptions. That may be an exaggerated number..they had it as high as 80% . we think a lot of this is starting with marijuana and other drugs..but we'll see what the facts show"
hey now don't start worrying yourself with things like facts

spinning around til you get dizzy is a gateway "drug"if you get into heroin, you're likely to be at least willing to try any and all other drugs. It's like saying baby food is a gateway to foie gras.

They screwed up not cracking down on day one, I'm actually starting to get hopeful that the political mood has solidified for some version of decriminalization or legalization just about everywhere that rolling it back would have consequences.
― louise ck (milo z), Wednesday, 7 February 2018 18:30 (six years ago) link
blaming weed for opiate addiction is like blaming the home baking industry for national obesity.

He's smart to recognize that legal pot will be easier to control than illegal pot, and be a net revenue generator, not a prison-crowding drain on the state budget. Also smart to want to get NJ up and running before NY gets onto the legalization bandwagon. Let's hope NJ's citizens are equally smart.

https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/michigan-lawmakers-consider-legalizing-medical-marijuana-before-november-ballot
There's enough signatures that legalization will probably be on the ballot this fall, and will probably pass. So the republican state government is talking about legalizing before that, so they can reduce voter turnout in November (where there just so happens to be an anti-gerrymandering bill on the ballot).

that's so fucked, just that transparent awareness, "more people voting is bad for us"
seems like the various cannabis bills that come out of state legislatures are often worse than the ballot initiatives
all that said it would be really great to have some legal cannabis in the midwest
