LifeSunDeath posted:My buddy has been going to some "pop up dispensaries" in Houston. Apparently this poo poo gets advertised on apps and they move locations every week, but the weed is straight from CA or CO and good and they sell it like it's a legal situation, even give you free prerolls and edibles. Weed is still mega illegal here but in Harris county it's nearly decriminalized for under 2 ounces. Per state law, under 2oz is a misdemeanor in Texas. Where people get hemmed up in Texas is the county and city levels, who can impose stricter poo poo. Concentrates and edibles are straight felonies though.

LifeSunDeath posted:what a minute, you got legal weed in England? if true that's amazing. We have since 2018, though not many people seem to be aware. To qualify, you have to have an official diagnosis of a condition where cannabis is beneficial, and have tried at least two conventional treatments. It's all done online, and it's a surprisingly easy process. I have CFS/ME and went via the chronic pain route. It's £50 for the online zoom consultation with my clinic (Sapphire Medical), and the prescribed cannabis is anything from £5/g to £13.75/g delivered to your door. The system is a pharmaceutical controlled monopoly, but it's working for me. I've been legal since May last year, and it still feels novel to openly vape in public. My medicine is literally that: prescribed medicine, and as such is protected under the 2010 Equality Act. Employers, venue owners and landlords etc. cannot discriminate against people using legally prescribed medicine.  WithoutTheFezOn posted:Do they actually tell you you can only get *this* or *that* strain, or do you get to choose from a handful of different ones? If it's anything like our system, the cannabis is actually prescribed, as in the amount and the specific strain/manufacturer just like any other medical prescription. They all have whacky names. I'm currently prescribed the following in up to 1g a day amounts, so on paper I can vape up to 4g a day, though in reality I total ~1g most days.

I avoid themed strains. Trying to tie poo poo to pop culture might be good for sales but there's often better weed right next to it on the shelf that doesn't invoke a disney property and is sometimes cheaper. Though if I was going to go through the trouble of making a new strain, I'd probably name it something like Leia's Bush.

I hate pre-rolls, personally. It's usually the weed closest to test expiration outside of shake, well after it's been picked over on the shelf for a month. And they're usually rolled/packed like poo poo, develop runs, that kind of thing. Cones burn faster, too. Larger surface area of a cone burns the weed faster than a normal joint with a consistent diameter over the length. So no, I'm not surprised a Chewbacca pre-roll sucked, and I wouldn't be surprised if you overpaid for it.

I don't seek them out normally, it's usually on super discount or a rewards freebie. To which I say, a free joint? I don't care how bad it is. (He says after having bitched about it online)

Oh, if it's free, gently caress it, smoke that poo poo. All too often I see dispensaries trying to sell pre-rolls for $10+ and I just glaze over while the middle finger in my mind reaches for new heights.

We followed the UK (I live on an island which is british but we have our own legal system) with medical in 2020, initially you had to do it by video call and post with the UK, but now we have a few doctors who run little dedicated clinics for diagnosis, and then essentially create you a personal import license that they handle. Technically I am Licensed to Import Cannabis by the state. We can apparently travel to any other country with equivalent exceptions for medical cannabis, so I can hop on a plane with my weed and vape and go to the UK or europe no problem, I guess maybe the US too?

They have a commercial name but you can just look up what they are on a wiki - https://medbud.wiki/strains/

Try to get your hands on girl scout cookies or one of the offshoots, it's got a rad mint flavour. Grapefruit romulan also tasted amazing, and I'm not wild about grapefruit.

Depending on where you are, the strain names don't matter. Companies have to rename strains all the time because regulatory groups won't allow the original name. You also have companies using genetics they don't have the rights to, so they rename them to avoid any legal issues.

Only a handful of grows here actually test their bud for the terpenes to make sure it matches the strain they say they are growing, most just buy poo poo from "reputable seed sellers" and do these crazy macro grows. It kinda sucks because I remember almost 10 years ago when I had a black market dealer who grew his own stuff and he had some absolutely amazing stuff and each strain was intensely unique, in smell, in the type of high, length of high, etc. Recreational weed here in the States just feels kinda... muddy now.

I wonder if being new has something to do with it, like there's been less time for mislabels and competition trying to recreate it to muddy it in the way you're talking about.

Inspector Hound posted:I remember when our cut of Charlotte's Web came back with 30% THC lol I think that you're on to something with that! I have been noticing that the smaller / micro grows in Michigan will come out with a new strain, it'll get great reviews, then you'll see knock off strains start to come down the pipeline 3-6 months later, all done a lot more cheaply and with way more corners cut, resulting in a worse product. Like, I remember as my last dealer was enjoying his own supply a bit too much and his attention to his grow started to lack, the quality went from best ever to "this is good, I guess", kinda similar to the micro grows vs the macro grows

There's also the whole Viridis Labs thing in Michigan where an ex-cop owned testing lab is falsifying results and allowing for brands to sell bunk rear end weed that's fake tested way higher than it's actual potency. That means grows are skipping corners and consumers are ending up with a shittier, even sometimes dangerous w/r/t mold or heavy metals, product.

Ah, good, you're not from cousin-loving island, at least. My understanding is that the IoM was/is basically West Virginia of the UK. Yeah, if you come stateside you'll just want to hit rec shops. Too many states are wildly stupid about weed and bringing an accent into things can only hurt you in some places. Also, all the national parks people like to visit are federal property, and state laws don't apply on federal land. So don't openly smoke a joint somewhere like Yellowstone.
