your views are quite canada/canna-centric man, no worries.
i think most of us who've been around this plant for any length of time agree completely, and see it's just them wanting a marijuana monopoly -cause that's the only way they survive.. can't compete with competent caring growers.
sure...
i've always been happy to be dubbed any negative; stoner, hippie, pot head derogatory.. cause i know we're the most kind, caring, and giving people there are.. and those words are actually quite the compliment :-D
proven again
thumbs up bud.
feels more like a corporate takeover than a legalization idea i've been fighting/wanting for decades.
step in the right direction though, i guess... hopefully.
not grown an auto for a few years, but they paled in quality IME
just make the regulars bloom early with light deprivation techniques *admittedly a PITA at the time, but the early harvest is nice ;)
yup, the dreaded bud rot.
i'm in BC.. so i always have to be prepared to put up some sort of shelter for them.
the rain will make them heavy, which without support can be trouble (i give them a 'hippy shake' if i've not covered them yet and it rains -grab the branch and shake the water off...
depending on location; might want to think about some sort of polly cover you could put up if the weathers turns.. hate to lose it at the end ;-)
congrats though, looking good.. i much prefer growing OD (and TBH; smoking OD stuff too, i find the taste amped up a bit)
i think -sadly- the LP's will be alright.
gonna be many novice smokers who go to them for convenience. so they'll have the rookie crowd (which is likely what they want anyway; ones they can fool and BS more easily)
commercial pot will definitely not be the source long-time smokers choose...
big marijuana.
still love how they talk about criminals and organized crime, as they dictate that stores must sell their shit, and have cops on their side/payroll busting their competition.
..then try to paint the small peaceful grower as the criminal :dunce::clap::finger:
it will be easy to track LP produced seeds.
they'll still be sitting on the shelf they put them on, not selling at all.
..i'd suspect anyway (anyone growing should be smart enough to get good genetics)
always kinda scoffed at 420..
but why not? many pot smokers are looked at as stoners, burnouts, and lesser citizens.
both are groups who have been stigmatized and are still trying to change perception, and both have (thankfully) come a long way.
to say any protest isn't as important as another...
howabout we care more about the quality of the med (and rec for that matter) marijuana, and not who's growing it?
cause their definition of a criminal and mine; are quite different apparently.
much rather support a small BM grower than their big marijuana.. much better quality and care, and i...
still smoking :-(
*totally had that thought that growing tobacco might be more profitable at this point. (i know it's not though, and a PITA)
quitting soon.. just can't afford it. looking at vapes ATM.
it's brutal (then they've lost so many smokers, but still want that income; so the price...
for shit?
googling is saying they're still around $200.. for mids o_O
few dispensary sites i went to showed $80 a 1/4 too *i'm not refuting your claim.. just don't think it the norm. but i'm not from there so can't tell apart from googling a few of their dispensaries.
..i hope the seed breeders get a kickback or something from this.
i thought that's what many would do TBH; try to hook deals where only this LP can grow our stuff.
but the slimy LP's probably wouldn't follow the rules of that anyway.
really sad the ones who did all the work get locked out of...
