I'm looking forward to my grow operation paying off because as is, I have to ration and hold off. I don't necessarily like to wake and bake but it'd be cool to smoke a grinder full and call it Tuesday afternoon.

If it was socially acceptable I’d have a pack of joints on me at all times and smoke them like people smoke cigarettes.

I think in the (hopefully) not very distant future weed will be treated more or less like tobacco in the workplace. People will take smoke breaks to light up a j and it will own.

Not saying it isn't dumb but all the damage from the military can get me an extended plant count for home grow here. It's literally weed or fistfuls of opiates, I'm happy with where weed gets me.

Yeah I feel like I’m in a similar boat, I smoke wayyy to much. I used to primarily smoke bowls and bongs but it’s killing my lungs. Those huge coughing fits after a bong hit are pretty awful nowadays.

I’m trying to balance it out a bit with edibles but I just can’t seem to make them strong enough. Last batch I used an oz with a cup of oil and I’m still eating obnoxious amounts of it to feel anything.

I just can’t see taking a tolerance break either. There is no way I’ll just go all day without smoking if I have weed to smoke.

you might want to look into vaping concentrates. doing dabs makes me cough like all get out but i can vape a dab in my vapexhale at low temps and it's much smoother

If you actually grow 99 plants or whatever your limit is, you'll basically have infinite weed/have to start making hash

I think I smoke about an eighth or so, maybe a little bit more, a day when I'm not at work. :shrug: been doing so for years now. Honestly thought everyone smoked like me.

Mr. Dick smokes about an 1/8th a week. It would probably be about a 1/4 if he didn't have to work. It would probably be about a 1/2 if he didn't have to work and suffered constant, chronic pain. It would be at least an ounce if he had to work and suffered chronic pain.

Yeah, that's a pretty accurate estimate for a while. I've had this pile of back problems for 15 years now. It's not even remotely close to the word tolerable without weed and I'm not taking any opiates the VA tries to give me. I've refused opiate painkillers from those fuckers every time I've seen my docs, with exception to emergency room visits.

The good thing about having a medical card is the dispensaries track purchases from day one, and someday the VA is going to acknowledge the medical applications of weed and possibly, if the veterans groups bitch enough, get reimbursed for years of paying for their own medication. So if I have a lottery ticket that might pay off, it's my years of receipts I'll have by then, that the dispensary will print off in its' entirety if needed. That's a really, really long shot though, like, most of the current generation of us veterans will be dead by then.


If I ever get a 99 plant count I'm just going to put weed in everything and never leave the property. Maybe one day have a scrooge mcduck vault of weed to swim in.

Happy holidays weedgoons. My dad died the day before Thanksgiving from a heart attack at 67. Going through his papers and affairs we found he was about halfway through a grow with about 6 plants in a the special room he had built in the basement. This wasn't a surprise, we knew he grew weed for himself, mom, and my uncle ever since my brother and I left for college. Anyway my wife and I took some of the seedlings home with us to our legal state (dad's state was not legal) to grow in a tent. I have absolutely no idea what kind of weed it is, but whatever it is I'm sure my dad's dying wish would be that I blaze it up in his memory. RIP dad!

How does one get into the cannabis industry in a non legal state?

Like I work as a photographer now in NJ, and I want to be on the first wave shooting ad campaigns if/when the state eventually legalizes.

i may be wrong but i thought NJ already had dispensaries just for medical patients? if so, those would be the people to approach because when the state goes fully legal those will likely be the first dispensaries open to the public, most of them will convert to recreational - at least thats how it worked here in CA

It's going to depend on how NJ handles the rollout. Here in MA it was legal to grow your own almost 18 months before the first store opened up. Some people made a lot of money selling hydroponic equipment, doing home installs, or providing consulting on how to grow indoors in the early days. Even today I'm pretty sure directly advertising weed for sale is either banned or heavily discouraged in the state.

If you want to get into the ground floor I'd look into some of the weed-adjacent businesses who stand to benefit from legalization to get your foot in the door.

Super jealous of the prices I've heard you guys pay out there. We wait in the cold outside while the security guard let's us inside via an airlock-like system to go buy an ounce of one of the 4 or 5 varieties on sale for over $500 after taxes.

im down in California we have a lot of taxes too, as well as armed security guards and an annoying system to get into any dispensary. luckily i travel to the northwest a lot. OR, WA, and CO are the states doing it right. i often see the same products in Oregon for literally half the price they are in LA.

I still hear of ounces of cartel weed in Texas being under $100. Usually it's got a lot of sun leaf and seeds, a pissy-weedy smell, and a comes in a little brown by default. You can burn this poo poo down in joints all day because that's what it's made for. Usually there's a second stash of the hydro somewhere for the bowls.

I got my medical card back in May and haven't paid poo poo in taxes since. Decent rec weed in Denver is $120+/oz. Medical here is $80-100 with significantly less tax, like 2% overall. I can get an ounce for $72 at the work dispos, or shake for $1/g when they run the sale (every third weekend).

Well, I know where the shake came from, that's why I buy it. I don't buy shake at other places in town, because that poo poo is usually stem and leaf with little buds mixed in. Our shake at work, overwhelmingly little buds or poo poo that just didn't sell and is close to testing expiry. Often they'll grind up a slow seller/low tester just to add to the weight of the shake.

It's not all bad, but it's not exactly great.

So edibles are legal in Canada and have started appearing on store shelves in most provinces. I'm curious about trying the gummies, cookies, and chocolates, but I'm not sure about them. I have a pretty low tolerance, and realized that a 75 mg half gram joint of moderate potency is enough for me to get high for at least 5-6 hours. They are selling the edibles in 10 mg packages of total THC. Does 10 mg of edibles= 10 mg of inhaled weed, or would it be more intense? Is there any standardized equivalent scale, or is it basically down to the individual and how their system processes the edible?

10mg is a good dose to start at, takes about an hour to kick in. 10mg of edibles does not equal 10mg of inhaled though, it gets absorbed differently and the high will also be slightly different.

Whatever you do, start with 10mg on an empty stomach and wait 2-3 hours before eating any more. Don't go 0-hero and take like 30mg at once if you're not experienced with edibles.
