If you do buy rec flower from these pot shops do yourself a favor and DO NOT store or keep your flowers in those little cheap thin plastic prescription pill looking containers.
They will make the weed go bad FAST. So get them the hell out of there if your not going to smoke the weed within a 48 hr time period.
Here is Eugene back in September they did there second round of testing of impurities on the weed in all the dispensary’s. 45% of the weed sold in all the rec shops around town had some kind of harmful chemical in it like Round Up. Another thing to concider about the legalization of weed at a high capacity.
So stick that in your mouth and choke on it. Lol.

Unfortunately bro, almost every commercial field food product grown in America has round up on it. Just seen a news story a few days ago that Cheerios and other cereals had round up in it.

Yeah 'Merica

This is the funny part of it.
Even though I have access to these grey-market dispensaries in Vancouver, I still use a trusty "friend" as a hunter of quality, because I am not going to get it from the commercial fronts at the same dollar level. ;) Grower-direct is still the best way, just like in any other business--cut out the middleman for savings.

But I think it will be a generational thing, too; people who have been living under prohibition for decades are not going to be quick to shift their habits of acquisition. It is those in the future who have their first experiences with the commercial fronts that will make the actual switch to legalization proper in society.

I'll be curious to see what it looks like in another decade.

where I'm at over the summer they hammered some large outdoors stuff & almost every one had some sort of pesticide, herbicide or growth stimulates one even had pesticides stolen from a crop duster business somewhere in cen-cal that's pretty much what the market is flooded with & believe it or not people are all over it that's why I like to grow & smoke my own product & now I'm shifting my focus on quality strains & led lighting & now I'm trying megacrop nutes in royal gold tupur my quality is steady improving hopefully after the dust settles we can get back in our groove lol... & people's opinion does matter even if it differs from mine I guess that's why we vote

It's only a moral victory.

I just read an article where some guy bought some weed today in California after legalization. He paid $120 for 3.5 grams and then paid $34 in taxes on top of that. $160+ dollars for 3.5 freaking grams! I got 3 grams in Amsterdam for $30.

California libs are going directly to drive the trade back underground by using their usual socialist ruse that "government will take care of you by taxing the bejeezuz out of you." It's not that they want to drive it underground, it's just that they want to get their hands in your pockets by hook or by crook.

If Cali does anything like they're doing here. The taxing will price it out of the normal market. And we're just working on medical here still.
The referendum to go legal is on the 2018 ballot for Nov.
That will kick up new tax levels and new limits will follow for medical growers.
Go ahead, make it legal and restrict the hell out of sale, and grow source's! Make the tax's cause high shelf pricing. Create mediocrity in the material sold at legal outlets. Now your simply making the thing you wanted to go away. Stronger then ever!
The underground black market!

I grow what people want. Not what's commercially convenient..... The growing restrictions, and tax's increasing over the counter price's on whats for sale here. Will enhance the black market!

The bad guys make the rules......Not enhancing our new freedoms is the political way....... They gotta make their buck.

California has become the largest state in the US to legalise recreational cannabis use.

As of 1 January 2018, adults aged over 21 can possess up to an ounce (28 grams)

of the drug and can grow up to six marijuana plants at home.

Opponents say the law will lead to more driving under the influence of the drug

and introduce young people to drug use.

But business is eyeing what could be an industry worth tens of billions of dollars in the next few years.

'First years will be a mess'
Californians voted in favour of Proposition 64 legalising cannabis 14 months ago,

in a poll that took place alongside the US presidential vote.

Since then, a complicated patchwork of taxes and regulations has been drawn up to govern sales of the drug.

Critics say the red tape will discourage consumers, growers and retailers from leaving the state's

vast black market and only a few dozen shops have so far been approved to open.

The cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco have yet to sanction any recreational marijuana outlets.

"The first year, two years are going to be a mess," as cities agree their own regulations and supply and

demand is established, Troy Dayton told AFP news agency.

He is the CEO of Arcview, a company that analyses the global cannabis market.

He predicted there could be "crazy fluctuation in price over the first year or two".

Cannabis: Promise, risk and controversy

Cannabis and vaping more popular than smoking among US teens

The cops and politicians joining Canada's cannabis business

Nonetheless, the potential rewards are huge in the US's wealthiest and most populous state.

In 1996, California was the first state to legalise marijuana for medicinal use.


But Arcview estimates the illegal cannabis market is currently worth an annual $5.1bn (£3.8bn)

and once legalised could be worth $5.8bn by 2021.

Legal buyers in the newly created "adult use" market will also now have to pay state,

sales and municipal taxes which it is estimated will generate $1bn per year.

They will be prohibited from consuming the drug in public places, with 1,000 feet (300m)

of a school or while driving.

With six US states - Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Nevada as well as California

- having legalised cannabis, one in five Americans can now legally purchase the drug.

Despite this, the federal government still regards marijuana as illegal, classifying it alongside

heroin and cocaine as a proscribed substance.

No, most police forces have qnnounced a soft approach to small time growing and smoking, i know a few who have had a slap on the wrist for plants and eeed at most. Our laws our nothing compared to strick countries and many other european countries like spain have similar style weed policing.

My police force openly announced that if you do it privately and dont piss anyone off they wont bother you, had four pigs round my mates door when about ten of us were seshing big time and they merely commented on the smell, laughed and wiahed us a good night. My mate is a known dealer to the police vut they simply cant be assed.

I support the soft approach over the bs that America call rec and med and works well as were all fucked on cheese most of the time :-)
