I waited 2 long for EDD and it was a bitch and a half to get it sorted. I told all my furloughed friends who didn't have it to start asap because it wasn't gonna get any better

rumint says that its basically only hosed for people who signed up in the last 6 months or so, but their backlog is insane and i'll be lucky if i get it in a month or two lol. good thing im living with my dad now, and my grandparents (they cosigned my car) can float the payments for a while... but uh, god, maybe I should just say 'gently caress my family yolo lol' and go back to work at this rate. i've been broke for almost 2 months now.

When u actually get it it'll be really weird and not obvious, and you'll go check and there'll be a few thousand in there and then you'll be like ca-cchhiing.
But if u can work under the table and lie about it that's cool too, if you want. I know a lot of people up here double dipping and I don't blame them

I’m still in awe at Newsom’s/CA’s order to reopen schools when 1 in 3 have COVID-19 in Los Angelos County alone: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-01-14/one-in-three-la-county-residents-infected-coronavirus

It’s solid proof the government does not give a poo poo whether you live or die; the sheer blatantness of it is so viscerally disgusting. :lol:

At least we have legal weed. I can’t imagine living in one of these red states in the middle of nowhere during all this.

the state auditor was on the news last night saying edd shat the bed because

they got a list of over 344,000 people who were just presumed to be committing fraud

and their software has no way to undo that designation when those people verify that they are actual humans with actual claims

She has gotten to tall for the space, only so much I can do about that. But she will still produce 4-6 ounces of weed. Its just a cabinet I painted blue and cut some holes in the back of it and strapped fans to it. I don't do anything about the smell because we like the smell and I don't worry about light leaks because I only grow autos. I grow in coco coir and use FloraNova + cal mag for nutes.

bad rear end! I used to fantasize about doing this in college but never had the stones to pull it together. nowadays I would only need to grow like... a small windowsill’s worth for myself, and it’s probably not worth the effort

Sadly weed is a pretty light intensive plant and either needs to be fully outside or under a grow light. I know there are grows that people do in things called "space buckets" which are smaller and cheaper, but produces less weed. I love to garden and I love weed, and weed is legit one of the best plants to garden because unlike vegetables or fruits it is pretty easy to get to a point where you can grow all you need to consume. Also smoking weed is generally more fun than eating tomatoes. I grow enough to give away about a third of my weed to unhoused people, which has earned me a reputation at some of the encampments as the "guy giving away weed" which is both something i am proud of and something that makes my work easier.

How much higher is ur electric bill if u don't mind me asking? In the late 90s/2000s there was a mini housing crisis where im at because of all these people doing indoor, and now a lot of leases say no growing, towns have ordinances about it, and the tiers for electricity were changed.

I've always wanted to grow and I'd love to if I had a fenced yard, but im in an apartment with close neighbors, the patio is just off the street, and my landlords business is right over the fence. Ive seen people growing on balconies or in yards in other parts of town tho

Its about $20 a month, LEDS have gotten really good in the last 5 or 6 years and the price of them have come way down to. I think that like was like $200 when I bought it. I grew enough weed on my first plant to "recoup" the cost of all my expenses. Its like a subscription to unlimited weed for about $30 a month + an hour or two of labor a week.

I don't know if we are allowed to grow in my apartment, I just did it. My building manager loves me because I always pay my rent on time and don't bug her very often.

as a el dorado county hillbilly i generally lol at the concept of paying for weed, and not growing it outside, and also not shipping it out of state illegally. everybody i know who grows still sells it black market out of state because it pays more than the legal and gray market lol. well besides the people who actually smoke it themselves.

i prob wouldn't mail bud but you could mail some thc vape cartridges or edible (gummies/ mints). when i do plane rides i just use an altoid container filled with THC/cbd mints or take a trader joes plastic bag of gummies and put in thc gummies in there -- even though TSA really does not give a poo poo.

this is the first year I've bought weed from a dispensary. last couple of years friends and family were offloading plenty of shake and ugly but fine buds. harvest was so bad from the fires this year that everything that can be possibly be sold to the big buyers/turned into oil is getting sold. the little that's going around is brown and half moldy.

sucks, there's nothing like outdoor grown. indoor is too much for my tiny fragile brain

mailing small quantities of flower is pretty easy and low-risk

-use USPS because it is a federal offense to open someone else's mail and USPS packages have more legal protection against searches than private carriers
-put it inside something else that is pungent, like a bag of coffee beans

cartridges or edibles are even lower risk
