Enlighten us, asking for a friend. 

If you use the lower temperature settings . . . although the temperature is still higher than ideal to decarb, your already vaped bud (avb) has been activated by the vaping process. So when you are done vaping it, save it. Take about 1/4 teaspoon of it (trial and error for potency is personal preference) and mix it in with some peanut butter or Nutella sandwiched between two crackers and enjoy.

 

Or so I've read.

I'm sure a local will be along with better recommendations, but I've shopped at several locations for The Green Solution around the Denver area and they've all be super helpful and had great products. Looks like there's one in Longmont, which isn't far from Loveland. There's also one in Glenwood Springs, which depending on your route is on the way to Moab.

Yeah, Glenwood Springs or Silverplume, I'll check then out.

So I go in for my semiannual checkup at the VA and they throw a drug test I didn't consent to in my face and tell me unless I consent to further drug tests I can't get any prescription pain killers or antianxiety meds. WTactualF? When did this shit start? There's nothing on the VA website that says this and I can't find anything online stating this policy. My "Doc" is a PA and he's a passive aggressive asshole. I got handed off to him when the previous MD left.

Anybody tried the Arizer Solo 2? My heart is pretty much set on getting another vape.

I was looking to get the solo 2 but saw the airizer air on sale and went with it since it was like $80 cheaper and I don’t really care to have temp control.  The air comes with 5 pre-set settings.  Got a standard glass bong with an attachment that connects the airizer to it.  Super easy set up.  I Crush up ice and put it in the middle cylinder of the bong with ice water.  The hits are so smooth and easy on the throat.  I had severe inflammation in my throat from using another convection vape to the point I had to see an ENT.  This set up has completely resolved the issue.

These states are voting on cannabis legalization this November
By Alicia Wallace, CNN Business

Updated 11:50 AM ET, Sat September 12, 2020

San Francisco (CNN Business)In 2016, the US election resulted in a green wave as cannabis legalization measures passed in eight out of nine states.

Now, the industry and its supporters are hoping for another big win in November.
This year, voters in five states will decide whether to adopt either new medical or recreational cannabis laws -- or, perhaps, both in the case of one state.
As it stands now, 33 states have legalized medical cannabis, and of those, 11 states have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use.

If more states join that list, it could serve as a huge opportunity for industry growth as legalization supporters believe successful ballot initiatives could have a domino effect on other states -- especially those looking to address budgetary and social justice issues.
"We've seen public support continue to grow every year," said Karen O'Keefe, director of state policies for the Marijuana Policy Project, the legalization advocacy group backing several of the measures.
Cannabis sales in states that have legalized the plant for medical and recreational purposes totaled about $15 billion in 2019, and are expected to top $30 billion by 2024, according to data from BDS Analytics, which tracks dispensary sales.
Below is a look at the five states voting on legal cannabis this November.


Arizona
Four years ago, residents in the Grand Canyon State narrowly defeated an initiative to legalize recreational cannabis. It failed by fewer than 67,100 votes, with 51.3% of voters saying no.
The 2016 measure was hotly contested, attracting a combined $13 million from high-profile donors such as soap company Dr. Bronner's, which was in favor of the measure, and opponents such as billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, tire retailer Discount Tire, and pharmaceutical company Insys.
This time around, the backers of the recreational cannabis initiative include some of the biggest names in the US cannabis business -- an industry that has matured significantly during the past four years. State election finance records show that contributors supporting Proposition 207 include multi-state cannabis producers and retailers such as the Tempe, Arizona-based Harvest Health & Recreation (HRVSF) and firms such as Curaleaf (CURLF) and Cresco Labs (CRLBF), which have cultivation and retail operations in Arizona's medical cannabis industry.
Still in staunch opposition are Governor Doug Ducey, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Smart Approaches to Marijuana, a national organization that opposes the legalization and commercialization of cannabis.

For the most part, Proposition 207 is structured similarly to 2016's measure. It would allow adults 21 years and older to possess, consume or transfer up to 1 ounce of cannabis and create a regulatory system for the products' cultivation and sale. Some key differences with the new measure include the addition of social equity provisions and criminal justice reforms such as record expungement.
According to estimates from industry publication Marijuana Business Daily, recreational sales in Arizona could total $700 million to $760 million by 2024.


New Jersey
When Governor Phil Murphy was elected in 2017, he vowed to deliver on a campaign trail promise to legalize cannabis. At the time, he told the New Jersey Star-Ledger that legalization could be a $300 million boon to state coffers but that the biggest reasons for legalization would be for social justice purposes -- overhauling old drug laws that disproportionately criminalized people of color.

However, legislative efforts to legalize failed to drum up enough support. Lawmakers ultimately decided to go another route and put the measure before voters.
If approved, Public Question No. 1 would legalize cannabis for adults 21 and older. The program will be regulated by the same commission that oversees New Jersey's medical cannabis businesses, and the recreational cannabis products would be subject to the state sales tax (currently 6.625%).
By initial estimates, New Jersey's recreational cannabis market could be hefty. Marijuana Business Daily pegs annual sales between $850 million and $950 million by 2024 -- but a successful initiative carries greater significance outside of New Jersey's borders. The passage of recreational cannabis in New Jersey could accelerate legislative efforts in neighboring New York and Pennsylvania.


South Dakota
Usually states have legal medical cannabis programs in place before adopting recreational cannabis laws.
South Dakota could enact medical and recreational programs in one fell swoop.
Voters in South Dakota will decide on Measure 26, which would establish a medical cannabis program and registration system for people with qualifying conditions, as well as on Amendment A, which would legalize cannabis for all adults and require state legislators to adopt medical cannabis and hemp laws.
The South Dakota Legislative Research Council projected that Amendment A could result in $29.3 million in tax revenue by the state's 2024 fiscal year. Sales estimates were not yet available, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, which is assisting with the South Dakota campaign.


Montana
Montana voters also will see two cannabis initiatives on their ballots.
Ballot issue I-190 would allow adults in the state to possess, buy and use cannabis for recreational use. A separate initiative, CI-118, would establish 21 as the legal age to purchase, possess and consume cannabis.

If passed, I-190 would establish a 20% tax on recreational cannabis, with more than half of the tax collections landing in the state general fund and the rest allocated to programs such as enforcement, substance abuse treatment and veterans' services. The measure also would allow people serving a sentence for certain cannabis-related acts to apply for resentencing or records expungement.
According to a fiscal analysis, the state expects recreational cannabis sales to total nearly $193 million in 2025, generating $38.5 million in tax revenue.


Mississippi
In Mississippi, there are two competing measures to legalize cannabis for medical purposes.
Initiative 65, which resulted from a citizen petition, would allow physicians to recommend medical cannabis for patients with any of 22 qualifying conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and post-traumatic stress disorder. The constitutional amendment would establish a regulatory program for businesses to grow and sell medical cannabis and for the products to be taxed at a 7% rate.
Under Mississippi law, the legislature has the option to amend or draft an alternate measure, and that's what it did here via Initiative 65A. The competing measure requires medical products that are of pharmaceutical quality, limits the smoking of medical cannabis to people who are terminally ill, and leaves the future creation of rules and a regulatory framework up to the legislature.
Officials from Marijuana Business Daily said that if Initiative 65 is passed, medical sales could total between $750 million to $800 million by 2024.

Nebraska should have been on that list, but their State Supreme Court is full of a bunch of little bitches.

Mississippi is fucking up with the "65A" bullshit. Their legislature did that specifically to try and split the vote so neither passes. They tried that here 2 years ago (some anti groups put together 2 other measures to try and split the vote.) It backfired on them and drove everyone to the real initiative.

Of course, here we are 2 years later and they barely have anything in place. I think there might be 2 dispensaries open, but the shelves are all but bare. There have only been 2 grow ops full certified to start operations, and that was only a short 4 months ago.

Only reports I've heard of have been of shit weed for $60 an 1/8th. Fuck that shit.

 

Which, FWIW, is exactly what I'd told people that were waiting to get their cards. Early on the weed would be shit. Early harvest, rushed through drying, little to no cure. I may have said so in this very thread.

I get that a business needs to make money or they won't be there, but this is a prime example of the 6 P's. Piss Poor Planning Produces Poor Performance.

If you plan ahead correctly, you're only eating an extra 6 weeks the very first run. Any additional runs come off and go through on a normal schedule. So that first harvest is delayed, but every one after is right on time. (Meaning once you get the first crop out the door, it's on schedule from there on out according to planting schedule, etc.)

Unfortunately, there isn't room for "craft" grows right now. It's too cost prohibitive for a small grow op to put up the 100k application fee with no guarantee they would be approved. Someday there will be room though, and their products will put a dent in the commercial scale ops that are rushing out an inferior product.

Probably my biggest complaint with the whole ordeal.

Yes, Walmart does have a grocery store with produce, doesn’t it.

Damn, 100k for an app fee? That’s a lot of BM product to move before you’re okay with that risk.

Exactly. And it's a fee just to have the privilege to apply. You don't get it back, approved or denied. There were something like over 500 applications submitted for just 60 cultivation licenses. So 440+ people were pretty pissed off.

I think the next round is different though, and set at a $10k application fee.

More manageable, I think. At least if you have the backing to get started. I know a couple "good ol boys" that did just that in another state. Great guys, been growing for decades. They've had quite the challenges and struggles to get things going properly. Some of their problems could have been prevented if they hadn't got in a big hurry during the build out. A few others were more akin to the inherent possible problems from running on a large scale.

 

But, they're also doing it right. They're a smaller, craft type grow with the right post-harvest procedures in place. Even so, it will take them a few crops to get everything dialed in and put something really nice out.

 

 

 

 

 

I want one.

 

Seriously though, I've snagged a few concepts from these guys (and others) and adapted for a smaller scale. However, you can see at the end when they get to drying/curing... they dry, but there isn't much cure time.

That is a great story to hear. After being inspired by you and others that I’ve met during the pandemic on IG in the Denver area, I’m really just solidifying my dream that I have to give my best effort into growing the plant I love and making my own hash rosin. My Med card doctor when I met for card renewal a month or so ago was gonna be more than happy to give me an extended plant count by just asking me how many grams of hash I smoke a day haha.

I figure if I tell him something like 2, which is an absolutely ridiculous hash rosin diet, but I know people here that smoke that much, he’ll write a script for like 24 or 30 plants for me. This would mean I could walk right into a dispo and purchase pounds of flower at once legally, if I so choose. OH THE LIBERTY.

I think where I may start is a) growing directly for med patients who sign over to me so I can come up as a healer, for the culture, not the greed, especially considering hash rosin’s medicinal qualities being second to none, and b) trading with other growers to share our craft and continue to learn and network, not to mention smoke better than ever for close to free. Would love to somehow have a business out of it, but not sure how much risk I’d be willing to incur for the startup costs to be on the shelves in dispos.

I’d love to have a large grow. I could be very happy doing that. Then again, who couldn’t?


Startup costs are high, even though the return isn’t far out unless it’s a crazy sized setup. 
 

I’m working to pick up a couple of ‘patients’ as a care giver. That will offset my costs, and also increase my plant count. Once that happens I have a few little projects in mind to play with, but  the results will be a good ways down the road.

Even with the handful of plants I run now it’s still fun as hell.

Living in Texas I cant browse a wide selection of edibles, and am pretty much restricted to whatever my service offers. They've been through a few types but these here....they are pretty, pretty good. Could be made in some dude's toilet for all I know, but I'm a fan.

I’m growing and fully legal. Had a cop standing in my kitchen with girls flowering. Not a word (I run air filtration and such with big fans and carbon filters) and I couldn’t have cared less.


Not a thing he could have done to me. Not a fucking thing except ask for a tour out of pure fascination. 
 

I was still paranoid though. Even with freedom it still feels weird.
