Weed will probably be the same, the market will be a wild west of new entrants for a few years, big player will emerge, or step out from the shadow of a cigarette company, and begin to buy up smaller guys, either to keep them around as "choice" or eliminate alternative brands entirely.

In 5-10 years it'll be a few big name companies selling $5 grams and a bunch of $10-12 small batch """""""""organic""""""""" producers just like there is with beer.



....except Budweiser stock is ~$110 right now and you can buy stock in a weed company for $0.30 - $15.00. imagine going back to 1932 with the knowledge prohibition is ending in a year and a few bucks in your pocket to get in on that

Oh no
So how do legal states balance the “up to one ounce of weed” and “up to 4-6 plants” thing? I’m guessing a harvested full-grown plant yields a lot more than an ounce.

I think in most states, an ounce is the most you are allowed to buy at once or carry in public, but you can own more than that in your home.

also its not really enforced at all. like there's nothing to stop you from buying four ounces from four different places within an hour

There was this one dude who used to work at the beer store by me who would seriously stop drinking a brewery's beers if they got bought out. Like "oh yeah ever since they opened the 2nd and 3rd breweries their beer's gotten lovely" or whatever, which was total bullshit. Sam Adams or New Belgium or whatever don't suddenly start sucking because they're popular and got a bunch of money from a big conglomerate to upscale their facilities.

Sorry, that was a beer rant not a weed rant. If it helps I took a fat dab of Blueberry before I posted this!

e: oh yeah the moral of the dude at the beer store was he's been fired from like 2 or 3 bartending gigs and at least 1 brewery rep gig because of how retardedly snobby he is about beer :laffo:

My regular guy stopped by a few weeks back and I got some of his cartridges and some flower too. Except now as I'm breaking down the flower, I'm finding seeds and poo poo, and honestly I haven't enjoyed the strain that much. My dude mentioned he had gotten it off a friend since he's waiting for his crops to mature... is it kosher to bring up the seeds things to him? I've been super weed spoiled and this is the first time I've had seeds in my weed, no joke.

I mean, if it is a seed or two and the weed is usually good otherwise I wouldn't but if it's a ton of seeds and it's poo poo weed I'd probably mention it.

i mean its not great but weed being marketed like that is also part of it being socially accepted and legal, and i'd rather see the odd marketing catchphrase than people going to jail for it or it having some stupid social stigma. do you get angry when you see small batch whiskys or craft beers? you can brew beer in your basement too, but there's nothing wrong with paying someone else for it.

The bullshit is that the people getting licenses to run stores are mostly white and minorities are still going to prison for possession, and at increased rates too in some places that legalized which is pretty loving lol (last I checked anyway).

So it's kinda like yeah a bunch of white yuppie fucks meeting in suits outside the local grocery store here in Cardiff are looking at graphs and discussing weed meanwhile the cops are still locking up black and latino people at the same rate and that's some bs honestly.

https://www.npr.org/2016/06/29/483954157/as-adults-legally-smoke-pot-in-colorado-more-minority-kids-arrested-for-it

quote:

Marijuana is legal in Colorado — as long as you're 21 or older. It's still illegal for kids to possess, so juveniles are coming to dominate the marijuana arrests in Colorado. But another startling trend also has developed: Arrest rates have risen dramatically for young blacks and Latinos.

A Colorado Health Department survey found there wasn't a huge racial difference in who smokes pot. But the marijuana arrest rate for white 10- to 17-year-olds fell by nearly 10 percent from 2012 to 2014, while arrest rates for Latino and black youths respectively rose more than 20 percent and more than 50 percent.

Humphreys theorizes that the marijuana businesses themselves may be playing a role in who gets arrested.

"The emerging legal marijuana industry is overwhelmingly white-owned and white-dominated, and provides good access to white customers," he says. "So one possibility is that that leaves the illegal market disproportionately composed of people of color, both the buyers and the sellers."

That issue touches Wanda James, who owns the Simply Pure dispensary in a gentrified neighborhood in northwest Denver. It's a Friday, and there's a steady flow of customers in and out of her shop — most of them white.

As a black woman, she is an anomaly in the industry, and news that minorities are being arrested at higher rates for marijuana offenses in the city makes her angry.

But she points out the targeting of minorities by law enforcement is not just a Colorado or Denver problem — "there is not a major city, small town, rural county, city-county, outskirts, beach community that does not have this exact same problem" — and safe and legal access to pot clearly hasn't wiped that away.

of course its bullshit but the prime cause of this is the police being racist, not weed marketing. of course the main people who benefit from legalization are the same wealthy white people who were generally able to get away with possession even before it was legalized, but the typical branding and marketing language that's showing up is more of a side effect and something that gets applied to pretty much every legal product that exists. like pretty much everything you see in a grocery store has some sort of "small batch" or "artisinal" variants being sold to wealthier targets

how long do those 500mg seem to last from your experience? let's say you take a hit from it twice a day. I was planning to try one out my next dispensary visit so i've always been curious how long they last on average

have you taken them through your carryon? between a very small cartridge and very small charger, i'd guess it' be ok, and definitely fine checked-in but i usually avoid checked-baggage. i took my boxmod and eliq vape stuff a few times and 50/50 on getting "randomly" searched. even with the small amount in with the other 3oz liquids ziplock and electronic parts taken apart and in a bag with laptop cords/chargers
