I picked up some feminized Blue Dream seeds from Blimberg Seeds via North Atlantic seeds a while back and sprouted one recently. I remember fondly some Blue Dream flower I bought in Oakland, CA a few years back that was truly outstanding: bag-busting smell. Will see how this one turns out!

Yeah the batteries discharge fairly quickly so you always had to carry a few batteries with you. The unit comes with a little battery charger which works but not as well as a larger unit I got, Powerex brand, which gives you digital readout on the voltage for each battery and has programs you...

I think it's a good choice if what you need is a stealth vape.

It was a very cool concept and different from most other vaporizers. Innovative. Used with a battery the whole rig is very small and easily palmed or slipped into a pocket if the wrong person shows up. Have to pull mine out and try it again!

I haven't used mine much in recent years but I used to bring it all the time to family get-togethers like Thanksgiving. At some point in the proceedings, when I was about to lose my mind dealing with my 'loved ones', I would take a walk outside with the Magic-Flight box. Then I would go back...

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/aug/01/gore-vidal-dies Note that the quote is from the seventies! That's a while ago! Anyone who blithely quotes this to suggest the parties today are still equivalent needs to get out a bit. The situation is different now and I very much doubt that Gore...

The beauty of this sort of simplistic thinking is it applied just as well 20 years ago, 10 years ago, and now. You can say it and feel superior to those low-brows unaware of this powerful economic critique of society. Never mind whether current conditions and parties have changed - you can...

The Republican party that Gore Vidal knew is not the same party as the current Maga hot mess. Please don't equate the two parties: they aren't two wings of the same thing and their policies are worlds apart now.

The job of a Vice President is basically to support whatever the President says and not get too far out ahead of the President's policies. So it is absolutely ordinary that the VP has not been known for her own policy ideas over the last 4 years. However, prior to the current gig she was...

Actually not true in this case. One is trying desperately to get elected (to avoid jail, among other things) hence the 11th hour conversion. The other has supported liberalization for years.

Well, they've located a gene that affects flowering. The site is hyping it as "driving breakthroughs", which is skating about as close to false as you can get... I'll fix it: could conceivably drive breakthroughs. And it could be quite a while before anyone comes up with a cultivar that has...

Um.... goody!?

He's tanking in the polls so thought he'd try a hail mary-jane pass.

CNN article about illicit grow houses in California This is kind of interesting. Apparently a lot of organized crime with money coming from China. One of the things that struck me was how crappy the grow equipment looked. Apparently a lot of this shitty bud with pesticides and mold is making...

They've been warning about super potency for the last 50 years. So just take fewer hits, already! Gee whiz.

I actually want state, local and federal governments to be involved in cannabis trade. They can supply standards of purity, testing criteria, etc. And actually test the weed supply for molds, contaminants, etc. I can even see these various levels of government taking a small cut to help fund...

An interesting article in the NYT about the pitfalls of legalization in NY. Similar stories are taking place all over the country: regulations, fees and taxes are making black market weed significantly cheaper than 'legal' weed. The article looks into the situation at one dispensary in New...

Yeah I understand but you are looking at the surface only. The shops you bought from are probably skating on the edge of bankruptcy. Most small canna businesses are. Many of the original growers in Northern CA who sacrificed big time to get licensed are out of business. They were sacrificed...

I don't have to go there to be able to tell them not to do it like California when offered a similar choice, which will probably happen. All sorts of stuff were hard-coded in the law and changing it requires another referendum, which is to say probably never. This is not a binary choice...
