Re: the acquisition of S&B by Canopy Growth.
I am very wary of this development to be perfectly honest. Canopy Growth and the whole cannabis industry in Canada has developed into a bit of a bug bear of mine. It is a deeply corporate environment, fine, sure. But it is very tied to the nastiest elements of Bay Street (Canada's Wall Street) and, along with other LPs, has been part and parcel to the regulatory capture of Canada's cannabis industry.
What I was reading in the patent struck me as a bong-Juul. Something where the dosage is indicated and therefore can be sold pre-packaged by the major LP in the given market. Again, some people really love their Pax Era or whatever. However, I think this is part of removing the botanical and 'good aspects' of 'da herb' and their increasing control by corporate interests and the growing criminalization of people just doing it themselves. We'll see. Sorry for the off topic. Just sucks that S&B will be the tip of this spear given my love of the Mighty and Crafty.
That said, my dad has come to me with a variety of Mighty problems lately. He doesn't like cleaning it and no matter how many times I show it, he just waits for me to show up and deal with the issue. I have been really amazed by the resilience of the Mighty given the abuse that he puts it under (no matter how many times I remind him that it cost me north of $400 buckeroos seems to phase him). The bowl is always able to be cleaned to a state that I find acceptable. Just make sure to clean your capsules before they get icky! They keep you Crafty/Mighty clean, until they start getting dirty then they are the bearer of bad news!
@LesPlenty I picked up a pair of Jhooks for about 20$ and it was an awesome upgrade when paired to the WPA for my Crafty. I have taken it out and about a little boldly more than once and boy is it a delicious treat. One time I was sitting in the woods during a hike and was come upon by some other hikers, who asked me what I was smoking. "Robot Gandalf pipe".
