Just made a smoothie with all my avb (I only got a vape last week) and I didn't do enough to mask the nastiness and I just threw it all up and wasted it rip. I ran out of weed earlier and I just wanted some help sleeping. Testicle Masochist fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jul 23, 2018 |

Well, I found a bottle of Everclear that's "only" 151 proof so that's what I'm using I guess. Still better than Bacardi 151 imo. I shudder just thinking about that trash. Edit some hours later: I took 1 ounce of Everclear that had been shaken up in some pretty dark ABV for about six to eight minutes approximately 30 minutes ago. I have some gross weed burps so far and that's about it. nickhimself fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Jul 24, 2018 |

Yeah I’d recommend leaving it a long time like two weeks or at least a couple days. And I used a much higher proof alcohol.

Okay, I drank my ounce of barely shaken abvcohol at 6:35pm. At 7:50pm I started feeling a slight body tingle and less concern for just babbling on to my wife about poo poo she doesn't care about at all. I don't know what the peak will feel like, but so far this is extremely relaxing and I feel really positive and happy. I really wasn't expecting anything to happen due to my last couple of experiences with taking ABV in pill form or attempting to mix it in peanut butter and having both fail for various reasons (one being me throwing it in the garbage because it made me wretch).

Dispensaries in SD are pakleds for thinking I'm gonna pay $70 for an eighth wtf. One is all "ahh but this is because we are legal and we have like 15-20% taxes than end up passed on to you." Okay motherfuckers I can do simple math in my head which means even if the tax is 20% you're still charging $56 for an eighth and probably getting something like an 80-100% profit margin.

Currently the pilot program in IL is slated to end in 2020. Legalization should be on the ballot this November (I'm not 100% sure on that). But there are a number of medical patients pushing to extend or renew the medical program, and block legalization. If cannabis is legal, patients will lose coverage from their health insurance, and have to pay 20% tax instead of the 10% they're paying now. Kinda sucks but your boy has been standing in line waiting to dip my buttermilk Biscuits in that cannabis gravy bowl if you're catching what it is that I'm meaning.

Snow Cone Capone posted:High profit margins? For an extremely in-demand product? I never! It's extremely in demand but it isn't as if the supply is lacking. If you take a look at the Cannabis Spot Index, the price for a pound of weed has been dropping like a stone for several years now meaning I bet they pay like... $10-15 per eighth for good weed? Wholesale obv. quote:The simple average (non-volume weighted) price increased by $8 to $1,327 per pound, with 68% of transactions (one standard deviation) in the $573 to $2,082 per pound range. The average deal size decreased 3.4% to 5.4 pounds from 5.6 pounds. In grams, the Spot price was $2.53, and the simple average price was $2.93. I'm just saying they're being greedy fucks jacking the price up because San Diego and I don't get why considering there are 10 other delivery services that will give me reasonable prices for the same weed. It's short term greed which is going to make you less competitive and thus bone you in the long term when you have 0 loyal customers - the ones willing to shell out $70 / eighth are looking for top top shelf so if you're not delivering that consistently every time you'll lose those ones, too. Meanwhile ('cuz I've got my eye on a few) the dispensaries keeping their eighths at $50 or less are loving exploding in business. They can't hire enough drivers so far. The volume makes up for the smaller (but still extremely generous) profit margins. One in particular has been buying out competitors and is slowly taking over the market share here. I'm sure there are others but there's one in particular I'm aware of here in SD. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Jul 24, 2018 |

The weed store I go to in Oakland has started extracting concentrates from their own flower and the leftover trim becomes the "house blend" and is sold at $50/oz, but frequently goes on sale for as little as $15. It's surprisingly good, too. It hasn't had any extraction done to it, and I get kief all over the jars I put it in. In a year or two it'll all be nearly that cheap

Reminds me of when my dealers back in the day would offer me the last shakey bag from an ounce for a major discount (like $25 for an eighth that normally cost 60) and I never understood why other people didn't jump at the opportunity. Less grinding and all the loose hairs and crystals from the whole ounce chilling in my discount bag? Yes, please!

I mean I never got a solid bit of reasoning as to why nobody else wanted them, aside from maybe "I like actually breaking up/grinding up big nugs" One time someone was like "well an eighth of shake is less weed than an eighth of nugs" and I just kind of stared at them and let my eyes glaze over until they figured it out

if the whole situation was much sketchier you might rather buy something that is obviously 100% weed than a bag of something that appears to be mostly weed but certainly in the modern context, yeah, shake is fine

yeah if its some sketchy dealer you dont know and its 1998 or something a bag of shake is certainly much easier to cut with oregeno or some of that fake weed poo poo they sell in convenience stores, especially if you are meeting up in a poorly lit situation or if you won't have time to look/smell otherwise an eighth of shake, if weighed out properly, is more weed than an eighth of nugs and generally a better deal

Earwicker posted:so is anyone itt in MA? how is the whole recreational rollout going? Hasn’t happened yet. Dispensaries can’t even be licensed until at minimum there are testing labs to certify products (purity, potency, etc...). There are currently no testing labs, and to the best of my knowledge, none even close to being ready. The next hurdle after that is local licensing, which is moving incredibly slowly, partially because there’s really no need to move faster, partly nimby. The economics of west coast markets is starting to concern investors as well. None of these states are doing this particularly well, CO included. Lots of black market operation still going on. Commodity prices dropping like crazy. Troubling stuff all around. My best guess for MA is if it happens, maybe 2020 you see a dispensary open. Maaaaaaybe late 2019. It’s a mess. There are still counties without medical dispensaries, and that was a mandate.

You edited it out, but the comment about packaging is 100% spot on and going to end up causing major issues with the industry, imo. People are going to get really upset about weed container litter in their area (for good drat reason), and instead of changing the packaging law, counties are going to ban weed outright - because changing the packaging law is too complicated, they’ll say. It’s one of the most absurd little sideshows of this movement; the users themselves think it’s loving absurd, and opponents will end up using it to say “see, look at how awful these stoners are, using wasteful packaging”, and I end up with another 80 plastic pill bottles I don’t need.

i've been to dispensaries all over the west in like four different legal states and i've never seen significant weed package litter anywhere. a few preroll tubes in eugene oregon on 4/20 of course but aside from that it really doesnt seem like a litter generating business remotely as bad as, say, mcdonalds or any convenience store the laws in california are weird tho. like they invented a special new type of ziplock bag just for legal weed and you have to use one every single time... why? what is the point of that nonsense it works just fine without those in OR and WA. kind of feels like a policy introduced by someone with an uncle in the plastic bag business Earwicker fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Aug 1, 2018 |

I mean, yeah, this is pretty much the inevitable future. Everyone is so happy weed is legal here in Canada now, but I mean, my dudes, this is the short wild west period. Enjoy it while it lasts, because sooner rather than later this thing is going to be taxed, co-opted, marketed, consumer oriented, and big-business-ified, and your glorious weed future is actually going to be terrible weed in low quantities at high prices. People will pine for the days of weed being illegal.

I’m not in the industry, but it sounds like particularly in Oregon investors were promised controls on cultivation to limit supply/fix prices and there’s tons of gray market cultivation going on. Or just not the controls on cultivation that were promised. The price for a pound is a quarter what it was a year+ ago. It’s already hurting investment in other states. And probably making some itchy trigger fingers on the fed level.

Doesn’t stop me from rinsing em out and tossing them with my recycling though. And I’m sure various states handle this differently, mine just has a serious hardon for trying to legitimize pot through medical theater. I guess my issue is more with the amount of waste it’s producing, and not the end location of that waste. Even the weird ziplocs aren’t as bad as the pill bottles imo, though we only see them for half oz and up. And some growers use these massive pill bottles for halfs, those are the worst. Like a foot tall and 8” around, and only 1/3 filled with weed. E: there’s also been semi-annual recalls because of poo poo like “tamper resistant sticker placed wrong”, where literally pounds of prepackaged weed get recalled because they can’t let the dispensaries reapply the stickers! So you get to deal with shortages for a few weeks. lighthugger fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Aug 1, 2018 |
