my inlaws got me a vape pen for xmas and I've always liked vape pens, but now I'm almost out of my cart, I don't personally know anyone that black markets those right now, and we're still 4 months out from when I can go walk to the gas station and get a new cart.

Oh well I still have 2 ounces of weed lol weed being legal is awesome

Rec weed sales started in New Mexico today.

A good weed day, indeed.

I had to pay my storage unit and went to a weed store on the way home on the 1st.
Long line, obviously, long wait, obviously, expensive and taxed to poo poo, obviously; got really good poo poo for my vape pen and some marginally rolled joints that love to canoe.

10/10 would go buy vape carts and edibles in an easy and time-efficient manner once it dies down.

My girlfriend and I took a vacation in Pagosa Springs over the weekend and went kinda wild on weed since it's cheaper and better than the stuff in NM right now.

I got a vape cart from Batch called Dazzleberry that is absolutely delicious, bought some live resin, diamonds n sauce and budder and a airis dab pen with a bong adapter, just tons of poo poo.

I also went to the hot springs on Friday for her friends' birthday, and as soon as I saw said friend was doing a drunken Dirty 30 but Super Sweet 16 thing, I just ate one of her friends' mom's 50mg fast acting edibles and wandered around hot springs that smell like an egg fart completely out of it for an hour and a half. It was great.

That's white crumble. It doesn't have much in terms of terpenes, which is why it's white and doesn't taste like much of anything. It was a "thing" briefly in Colorado a few years ago, now the only time I see it is on the cheap shelf.

It'll get you high just fine, and I tend to find it around 20% cheaper than regular wax/shatter.

makes sense, she bought it in Pueblo and it was pretty cheap. I like it just fine, we're not really weed connoisseurs or anything.

Pueblo must be the cheapest goddamn place in the state for weed, I've seen 8g/$48 wax deals there on weedmaps recently. That's pretty goddamn nuts and is slightly cheaper than deals I saw last december when shops were rushing to sell everything they could before the medical concentrates law changed.

Don't buy Green Source weed though. It's poo poo. There's a reason Green Source doesn't advertise on weedmaps or leafly, it's because it's lovely weed.

I ended up finding that place on Weedmaps because we wanted to buy a bunch of flavored Batch carts, it was worth the detour (we ended up getting home at 7PM and I had to clock into work by 10 lol!)

Thanks for the warning. For anyone who might visit NM and partake in rec, DO NOT PURCHASED WEED FROM PURLIFE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER PURCHASE WEED FROM PURLIFE.
PurLife is part-owned and operated by former Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White, a man who used to be my mom's next-door neighbor when she moved into the condo she purchased after she divorced my dad 18 years ago.
Darren White loved talking about busting potheads and putting them in jail, and got in a lot of trouble when his wife caused a major car accident in the middle of the day and he showed up, while sheriff, to pick her up and whisk her away from any consequences for plowing through an intersection drunk. Like, forced out of his condo by the HOA trouble.
Now he is, and always has been, a huge advocate of weed :rolleyes:

Part of what sold Republicans on finally allowing rec weed after a solid 8 years of pushing in NM was that it opened up a whole new, lucrative avenue of DWI revenue. Rec may be legal here, but the legal environment will permanently be hostile to normalized public use.

Speaking of cheap, the kick rear end store by my sister's place keeps texting me, $50 ounces. My home land calls to me

yeah it's pricey here but part of the way they did rec was that they made the bars in NM give up their platinum-level printing money liquor licenses, and choose between $12k/year liquor licenses or the closed group of people with commercial grow licenses, coincidentally all the same drug dealers.

it took a solid 4 gubernatorial terms to pass rec in NM, rumblings started under Richardson, then he hosed everything up and got Martinez elected to two terms in which she did everything in her power to successfully stifle rec (because her Republican DA rear end and her husband own a huge stake in a medical op while shittalking weed constantly in public), and then it finally passed at the end of Grisham's term once everyone in the legislature felt that they got a sufficient piece of the pie. This is in a very blue state.

but yeah don't gently caress around with US federal laws and weed, I had to quit for years when I worked at the drug plant because I was the responsible person and took a lot of people's "randoms" for them (just became a known quantity) so they could keep their health insurance and continue being an integral part of my team despite their very known "drug abuse." Those were randoms for the FDA and DEA.

edit: one time, someone did "something" in a storage room that required badge access and I got pulled because of it, and it was about 48 hours after I took a couple hits off the first joint I smoked in almost 3 years. I passed, but man I was sweating it even though I knew I was totally good.

The place I went to is definitely a med card factory. Like the person who gave me my med card was a doctor, but I wouldn't want them to practice actual healthcare on me, you know what I mean?

everywhere that prescribes weed cards is a weed card factory outside a couple states at this point. Last time I was on probation, my PO tried to force me to get one until she found out I worked in a FDA-regulated parenteral drug factory and that would never fly, possibly cost me my job; and I hadn't smoked weed in years at that point anyway, since it was just easier to be the known quantity than freak out about heating fake piss randomly at 5AM while standing with your arms at 90 degrees, fully bunnysuited in a class-100/grade-A cleanroom. Literally everyone else she saw had a (basically mandatory) med card and pissed hot for THC every time.

I haven't read the MO rec bill, but it will probably take a little bit for it to go into effect. Probably at least the first of the year. I wouldn't expect to be able to walk into a MO dispensary until they plaster "recreational" on the outside somewhere, not the day after the vote.

Arkansas weed bill has been hitting speed bumps. I'm still surprised they even have medical dispensaries, and those took years to get. Iirc they had a medical law for 3+ years with no dispensaries at all.

it's been a huge economic boon to every state that's opened up to recreational sales here in the states. For Michigan, 2021 saw over $40 MILLION in tax revenue shared among the cities that have dispensaries, processing centers, etc. Places that choose to not have them don't get a cut. It's been an insanely huge help for my city, to the point that they are considering letting one of the tax millages expire because they have more funds now. Legal weed fuckin owns!!

lol the guy that's running republican for governor here won't even touch it and his platform is DRILL OIL BAN ABORTION MILITARIZE THE BORDER, because he knows going after weed after a 10 year protracted battle for legal rec would be a losing fight on both sides of the aisle.

They opened this dispensary down the street from me recently. It had been sitting around ready to pull the trigger since April, but they had to have a loving city council meeting over whether it should be allowed to open because, "is it truly a good idea to open a dispensary in such a high-crime area as The WarzoneThe International District!?!??!?!?!" and the public who lives here's response was, "I'd rather have plainclothes armed guards wandering around the entrance to the neighborhood/junkie tent city than rely on police who absolutely refuse to respond to anything unless it's SWAT because they're a bunch of loving pussies," so it opened up. They buy stuff from all the distributors and have really good prices, plus it's walking distance. Legal weed 0wns.

I am very luckily in a community that's embraced legal weed quite a bit and am surrounded by other communities doing the same. I really wish Detroit would get their recreational program going already, it's a big part of the reason why I still have my medical card!

Oh, we embraced legal weed immediately as a state. It's been real important to our finances and stifled for a long time, and living with CO to the direct north just means a decade of lost revenue.
The city council meeting was called by the Republican areas of town to address crime in my neighborhood, a neighborhood they bus homeless people to, and it's very transparent that they didn't want something positive for the neighborhood to happen.
That's all that was, and it got shouted down and now I have a cheap weed store down the block.

It'll dissipate, but they have good prices and you know exactly who you're purchasing from so you don't have to buy Darren "PurLife" White poo poo if you don't want to, but they do buy from him.

He used to be my mom's neighbor in her condo and bragged constantly to me in my late teens about bagging people for weed, then got kicked out by the HOA after he picked up his wife and shielded her from consequences for causing a DWI crash while sheriff.
