Eh. Put butter, some water and ABV in a pot and cover. heat on low temp for 2-3 hours. Don't let it reach a boiling temp. strain result through cheesecloth, separating the ABV from the liquid butter/water. Refrigerate. Get rid of the excess water once the butter has solidified. remove some of the material that gets naturally attached to the outside of the butter if you want

this is basically the framework for every cannabutter recipe

six of my friends were expelled for it by the time I was done, only one of my friends and I actually ended up graduating at that school

it was very stupid. I can't imagine how expensive it was for the school. the justification as that it was in Beijing and drugs were hella illegal there.

evidently it was random but they sure did test me and all my long haired guitar friends and my tattooed girlfriend a lot more than most people

ive been on tour in a bunch of illegal states lately and noticed that in the last year a ton of fake "cbd dispensaries" have sprung up across the south, in some places like Ybor City in Tampa there is one on like every block.

they all have signs saying WE DONT SELL MEDICAL MARIJUANA and from peering in the windows they mostly seem to sell tshirts and maybe pipes or something?

i havent bothered going in but why do these places exist how are they doing enough business for there to be so many of them? are they fronts?

you're an idiot. dogs don't lie but they sure do want to please their humans, so when their humans are pleased by the dog alerting on traffic stops with people whom the cop doesn't like -- the dog will know from the cop's behavior even if the cop doesn't intentionally give the "alert for this guy" signal. i believe that 100% of cops are technically human and therefore not actually automatons who behave exactly the same to every person they stop and talk to

CBD is ambiguously illegal to the point that no one will viably enforce the law or prosecute and selling CBD stuff, pipes, and dumb weed t-shirts is very popular and profitable. It's all over my huge Midwest college town too.

The correct terminology is called "Head Shops".

I'm kidding.

But really these types of stores have been everywhere. Back in the 80s Kentucky had a chain called "Pep Tab" that sold t-shirts, leather jackets, posters, and black lights. They also sold scales, bongs, pipes, and other items that were "for tobacco use only!" This was back in the 90s so the real reason this store was around was to sell legal speed and test kits to make you piss clean

I dont ~vape~ or anything but I walked into a vape shop looking for rolling papers a while back and was surprised how it was a headshop in all but name. Wall of glass (definite weed stuff plus traditional hookah and shisha), big displays of cbd and kratom, huge spread of papers and wraps and poo poo, even some Bob marley/blacklight poo poo. Vape poo poo was a tiny proportion of the store. All this in a nice shopping center, in a city that has historically pushed headshops into the seediest areas and then still raided them on paraphernalia charges, and where weed is still illegal. Weed finally has its brown paper bag I guess

We had the cbd places on every corner before we passed medical mj, most of them pivoted into full on dispensaries as soon as the state started issuing licenses.

Drugs have been found on fewer than 15 per cent of South Australians searched after sniffer dogs or electronic tests indicated they were carrying drugs, prompting questions about the legality of the search dogs being used in public areas.

South Australia Police figures show that in 2016-17 police dogs or drug detection systems indicated a person was carrying drugs on 2366 occasions, but drugs were only found on 348 of the people searched.

Of course, criticism of sniffer dogs isn’t fresh. It’s been bubbling away for decades. In 2001 a NSW Ombudsman's report found that drugs were only found in a quarter of searches after a dog had flagged an individual. 13 years later, NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge obtained figures from the NSW Police Minister showing that of the 17,746 people searched by police after being indicated by dogs, 64 to 72 percent were false indications in which no drugs were found.


quote:

a 2011 Chicago Tribune investigation of suburban Chicago police dogs that found a success rate of just 44 percent. That review also found that with Latino drivers, the accuracy rate plunged to just 27 percent, more evidence that the dogs are merely reflecting the biases and presuppositions of their handlers. Other studies have shown false positive rates of up to 80 percent. With success rates that low, it’s hard not to conclude that drug dogs aren’t tools to determine probably cause, but basically a “search warrant on a leash.”

yeah i know those kinds of stores they have been around forever, these fake cbd dispensaries seem like kind a different thing

i mean we still have head shops in california, because dispensaries mostly just have weed and vape pens and maybe one kind of papers, they dont carry pipes or bongs or tie-dyed tshirts or bob marley posters and what have you

That's how almost every single smoke shop in Michigan is now. There used to be legit tobacco shops in the nice areas of town, but now they are mostly head shops with a nicer name. However, I live in the part of town where I have three really good head shops within like two miles of me and none of them are trying to be discrete at all.

Nah, gas station blunt wraps are gross as hell and we can do better. I'm a man with decent means in his 30s, not a teenager anymore who doesn't have the cash and resources for a much more enjoyable weed experience. Like, my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend is a weird, grimy dude who regularly wraps cheap blunts and I shake my head whenever he does it.

I literally got in yesterday so I have no idea really. I just walked into a dispensary that was right next to my air Bnb. But keep in mind that there is no tax on the weed and everything seems to just be cheaper.

Lookin forward to starting the weekend off with some good weed on the balcony while watching the sky for northern lights.
