Weed during work time is not for everybody but for me it worked very well. I did a lot of my best work as a software engineer under the influence. I often came up with superb ideas while stoned. For some reason it has a way of helping me stick with a task and also step back from it in order...

Even in areas where cannabis is legal, there are many problems associated with use. When my son was young I had to keep my cannabis usage secret from him because I did not want to dump the responsibility of keeping this secret on him. I was basically single-parenting and my ex tried to use...

When I showed up as a freshman at my college dormitory in 1970 there was a notice on a bulletin board explaining that marijuana was now far more powerful than it used to be and warning us about the dangers of 'bad trips'. 50 years later they are still saying this shit!

Sounds similar to what happened in California. Everybody said what the hell half a loaf is better than no loaf at all (even though they were getting plenty of loaves at the time already) and voted in that piece of crap they have now, which locked in all sorts of wrong stuff and is now near...

Singapore executes man for trafficking two pounds of cannabis Hmnnn... while I haven't actually trafficked two pounds of cannabis, I've certainly had possession of that amount numerous times. This hapless guy - the case was not even very solid - gets hanged!

This is how they tested: If they had a well graded, nice sized nugs should be able to get fairly consistent results. Some of them were off by 50%. Even 23% lower would mean 20 is actually 15. The idea that the producer would cherry-pick the samples to beef up the % is kinda fucked up. I...

That weed you bought might not be as potent as promised, study finds Colorado researchers found that the THC in cannabis they tested was, on average, 23 percent lower than what was reported on the label Some pretty janky stuff going on in the cannabis industry...

Everything in the article is anecdotal. There is no hard evidence for anything alleged. No real statistics either. A bunch of hearsay and theorizing. A lot of dark insinuations about how dangerous to dogs but no numbers for deaths due to cannabis. Someone says both her dogs ate roaches off...

I think in some cases 'equity' is achieved by giving preference to people who served time for selling. It's not necessarily a racial preference. Could also involve location. Also, by saying you don't trust the government to do anything, you are jumping on the bandwagon that ultimately leads...

First we were couch potatoes. Now we're violent crazies! And for the last 50 years wave upon wave of people claiming this isn't your daddy's weed, this is reealy potent!

Part of the problem is they can't bank like other industries so they have lots of cash around, as well as cannabis. It sucks but that's what we have now. Growing your own is a good way to reject all that.

The other day I watched a new episode of "Law and Order". I don't know if any of you caught this? A man who had been imprisoned for some years for selling cannabis gets out of jail and works in a market of some sort. Some joker breaks the window late at night and the ex-con follows him, only...

Well, you go through different stages of your life. Same here: I traveled all round the world, lived abroad for years, lived in many parts of the US, did all sorts of things... but now I'm 70 and I like hanging out at home in a rural setting, growing weed, playing guitar, cooking, tai chi, etc.

Well if you go in these dispensaries they have beautiful concentrates that are clear and colored blue, all kinds of fancy stuff; I barely know what some of it is. For the prices they were asking the stuff had better wash your dishes and clean your floor too. In one place I asked for bubble...

A few years ago I ran out of homegrown and bought stuff from dispensaries in Oregon for a few months. There was certainly some good stuff, usually quite expensive, and there was a lot of over-dried stuff which had lost most of its smell. As others have mentioned the time from harvest to sale...

Well what has happened is that legalization initiatives like the one in California were sponsored by deep pocketed interests looking to create Big Canna and produced a market which privileges big producers and in effect cuts the legacy smaller producers out of the market. The regulations...

I do give a hoot about growers and dispensary owners. For decades these folks have taken all sorts of risks to supply us with cannabis. I do medical grows myself and have known lots of commercial growers. Many commercial growers, such as the growers in Humboldt county in CA have gotten the...

I'm not sure I understand your comment. As the article says, the price of weed in legalized states, esp west coast, is plummeting. As far as profit margins go, the margin for weed is tiny once you deduct taxes, so tiny that a bunch of weed startups are going out of business. If your...
