Just received my rec today.
Starting off with some low THC GG4.
it that time of the year no not WSOP but the grow season. Vegas123 and any other growers. I usually buy clones but could not find this strain in the last couple years. Any tips,tricks, or traps I need to know about with feminized seeds.
Flying into John Wayne airport and noticed on weed maps there are many weed shops nearby in Santa Ana. Any recommendations or shops to avoid. Any input would be great!
Going to palm desert in April Doobie Brothers show will be on when I am there and will try to attend.

I recommend 10 Spot Collective, 420 Central, OC3, Showgrow and Evergreen. There really isn't any that I would not recommend although my only visit to MedMen was disappointing.Quote:

I would recommend hitting up Santa Ana in the daytime as most of where these dispensaries are located are in sketchy areas.

washington state, the poster child for dysfunctional Big Marijuana legislation, is about to revamp their horrific laws to the benefit of smaller shops/grow ops.
which frankly is amazing considering all the money the big players poured into lobbying/legislation there to prevent exactly that from happening.
I just got half a chubb.Quote:

tl;dr government red tape preventing the licensing of retail endpoints is creating overstock problems; there arent enough retail locations licensed to sell weed. so no sales, no revenue. a year ago, the market was worth 40bn, now its estimated at 17bn and falling. mergers are being scrapped, people cant find capital to stay in business.
im not sure if this is good or bad in the long run.. one side of the coin; it could drive out the corporate chains and the mom & pop growers can become the primary suppliers, which would be great. other side of the coin.. its possible that the exact opposite happens, where the only people who can afford to pay the legal overhead to be sellers are a handful of corporations who turn out McMarijuana on an industrial scale and all the boutique growers get shuttered, and the only weed you can buy is narcotic grade skunk named after a random fruit flavored sorbet.
although this primarily describes the canadian market, anyone who thought the US would have its shit together by now? yeah...

ny literally is no closer to legalization than it was two years ago, in fact it might be further from it because somehow the issue of reparations (seriously) for communities targeted by marijuana prosecution has become tied to the legalization narrative, as well as 'will communities be able to opt out of licensing retail endpoints'. so basically both the far left and far right have come together to make absolutely sure that their baggage sinks the entire initiative despite the entire fucking government being like 'uhhh our infrastructure is crumbling and weed sales could actually make this a better state to live in'. but yeah keep fucking with 8.82% state income tax while yall work out the kinks, see how that works out.

The price for this stuff in Colorado and Nevada is laughable and it seems like only California can sell these items for reasonable prices, which is why they can export it to the East Coast.
prices are even less in Washington state last week bought 7 1gm joints (blue dream) $15 #dirtyforthirtyQuote:

the better weed is a bit more but not that much a strong joint is probably 5 for a gm
stoped vaping for now till i hear more info if its safe or not. I think its probably not great, inhaling steam from weed oil sounds toxic.

Its unsafe if you buy bootleg or counterfeit products. You wouldn't buy moonshine from a guy in the woods, but otherwise alcohol is still safe to drink. Same thing applies to vapes.
If you buy well known name brand products from trusted sellers then you are good. If you buy $30 gram cartridges from your local bodega or some guy cause "its a good deal" then you deserve whatever consequences may arise.
every thing i buy is legit over the counter shit, I wouldn't know where else to get it.Quote:

It's not that they aren't legit...but they are very generic. Not bad by any means but there are others that are more potent and better tasting.Quote:

I'm not familiar on legalization in New York but if circumstances were that if I was in New York and if there is no recreational shops or if it is a major pain in the ass to shop legally, then I would be hitting up OSA for sure for a legit Flav cartridge.
What brands do you regard as such? I need to diversify.Quote:

I read Absolute Extracts were in high regard in terms of potency in a recent unbiased study.
I hold Bloom and Raw Garden as the top 2 brands as far as high potency and excellent flavor. Rove and Jetty Extracts are my go to if I need something and don't want to drive too far. Absolute Extracts are potent but they taste awful in my opinion.Quote:

If one were to buy a box(30 count) of Bloom or Raw Garden, how much would they pay per 1000mg?Quote:

Deceptive Tactics Unmasked in Three Lawsuits Against Pot Entrepreneur Case Mandel LAS VEGAS , March 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A trio of lawsuits alleging a scheme to defraud $1.2 million in still-unrepaid loans is shining a light on the dark side of the burgeoning legal marijuana industry. Lenders allege that a high-profile California -based marijuana company and its key executive used “make-believe projections” – inflated by 2,000% – to intentionally deceive them about the company’s true financial picture and then pocketed the money with no intention of ever repaying the debt.
A federal lawsuit filed this week in Nevada and lawsuits recently filed in Nevada and California state courts reveal the depths that some seemingly respectable operators will go to deceive supposed partners, investors, and lenders in order to enrich themselves. The litigation targets purported cannabis entrepreneur Case Mandel and businesses he operated under the name Cannadips, accusing Mandel of obtaining $1.2 million through fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs – Nevada -based Solace Holdings LLLP and Aether Gardens , and Telloni Holdings Limited , formed in the British Virgin Islands and located in London – say Mandel induced them to loan him more than $1.2 million to fund his cannabidiol (CBD) business by inflating business numbers by over 2,000%.
Mandel, who has reached nouveau-celebrity status in some quarters of the legal marijuana trade through ongoing promotion of himself and Cannadips to industry journals, is portrayed in the lawsuits as the alleged mastermind of a deceptive scheme to illegally entice loans and investments with intentionally misleading documents and tactics.
“Mandel made a series of blatantly false representations, including through the use of make-believe projections, to lure in Solace and its affiliates into deals Mandel never intended to fulfill,” the federal complaint states. After committing to use some of the borrowed funds for marketing, the lawsuit alleges, he “instead used the money to fund Mandel’s lifestyle. After nearly two years, Solace never received what it bargained for as a result of Defendants’ failure to carry out their contractually required marketing activities.”
The state court lawsuits say Mandel was “on a desperate pursuit to raise money at all costs” when he initiated his fraud in July 2018 . First Mandel borrowed $500,000 , and then increased the debt to $1 million in 2019. Then, claiming he needed more money for marketing so he could generate enough revenue to pay back the large loan, Mandel borrowed another $200,000 . He has not paid back any of the borrowed funds, the lawsuits allege.
Industry expert Christian Bax , who served as the State of Florida's first Director of the Office of Medical Marijuana Use , issued a warning to legitimate businesspeople to beware of shady operators in the quickly evolving legal marijuana industry.
"The hemp and CBD markets are booming right now, but they are still fairly new. Despite the progress we've seen, the industry is still being undercut by spurious business people looking to take advantage of investors looking to invest in cannabis,” said Bax, president of Bax and Associates . “There are so many entrepreneurs doing the right thing in hemp and CBD, but, unfortunately, investors these days have to be vigilant against misrepresentation, or worse, outright fraud."
The first in the series of lawsuits was filed in the district court of Clark County, Nevada , against Mandel and Trinidad Consulting, LLC , which he owns. The second case was filed in Humboldt County, California , against Mandel, Trinidad Consulting , and Trinidad Management, LLC , doing business as Cannadips. The federal lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for Nevada , targeting the same defendants as the California lawsuit.
