Indoor Duckster gives Wilma a go

[Duckster]

Don't know if the show was true but my workmates seem to have a lot of access to dispensary grade eatables and extracts on the local black market. My state is technically a medical state. But it's a crappy law - No THC, and there is no distribution or dispensaries so what's the point.

 

[Duckster]

Illegal is better, it causes a abundance of caution and for the most part everyone tries to not be an idiot. As soon as it goes recreational you have wankers and housewives eating enough edibles in public to take down a horse. People here have regularly been overdosing on edibles and being rushed to the hospital.

Who the hell overdoses on weed. We have medical and we have decriminalized possession of less than an Oz for everyone else. Get caught with an Oz and is an $85 misdemeanor ticket. I see upper middle class idiots driving down the highway openly smoking a blunt. Add to that half the products available st the dispensary look like candy for kids. All this stupidity is just forcing it towards government controlled highly taxed low potency crap weed.

Add to that we have a federal law banning use or sale that’s enforced by federal agencies. And then we have 50 States with 50 different laws and tons of individual rules for use. Some states where it is legally recreationaly if you step over the line into the next state a joint will get you jail time. Crazy time here in the US.

Love watching the show unfold.


Sorry for the sidetrack, back to the awesome grow.

Yeah all the different laws in the states reminds me of when I was 18-20. I traveled a bit and many of the states had different drinking age limits.

I don’t know what the perfect scenario would be. But I do know that’s not it. We have medical here. And we allow home grow with fees. But I can tell you it’s basically a pay to smoke recreational market. Everything available at the dispensary is recreational product for the most part. Less that 2% of the products might have any medicinal use.

We were talking about that at work the other day. Age limits in some states were 21. State next door 18. And they had the near beer. 21 plus and you can drink the 7% alcohol, 18 and you had the 2% near beer. Feels the same. Our government wants low THC and to ban homegrown if we go recreational. State next door allows 6 plants no questions asked.

Perfect for me would be recreational worldwide. Store bought stuff would be taxed and regulated to a degree but home grown for personal use would be ok too. Kind of like beer and wine.

 

[Frenjamin Banklin]

Yeah agreed. Perfect world. I constantly think of all the millions of dollars that are spent “trying to grow weed”. Not everyone can, and the millions of dollars trying to grow it would be a tax windfall as well as support tons of small business. At the end of the day the percentage of people that would actually succeed and continue would be small. Just like home brewing beer, and that’s easier than growing weed.

Scenario 1. Weed goes recreational, millions of people who have been waiting run down to the store and spend $30 on an eigth, novelty over and most never buy again. Just the reality of economics, your average Joe isn’t going to shell out the cash to remain stoned constantly if he has to pay big tax dollars.

Scenario 2. Weed goes recreational and Joe decides he wants to grow his own. He spends $500-1000 to get all he needs. He fools around with it for a bit an may or may not succeed. But he sunk 100 times more into the economy to try it. He may be good at it and can help family members or friends that need medicine or relaxation. If so he continues to put money into tb economy. Electricity, medium, nutrients etc etc.

Scenario 3, It goes recreational but the government decides we just can’t manage the plant in our own. Access is limited because the big boys only grow profitable crap. All the good medicinal has been synthesized and is only sold as suppository. Once again we are back taking it up the ass from big pharmaceutical and government.

Wish there was a scenario 4 where everyone acted responsibly in the best interest of there fellow man and not worried about making the rich richer. But ......

Enough of my rambling for now, I’m not as crazy as all that but the health care system and big pharma in the US drive me crazy. Healthcare just should not be a for profit endeavor.

Day 12 and the roots have hit the res so I'm turning off the drip feed pumps. I love the way the root growth goes wild once they hit the res.

I kind of live in [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] without the recreational part.

So where have you learned more - school or AFN?

i have learned more specific stuff like botany and sustainable crop production at school but actual growing/ reading plants from AFN so the 2 together should end well i would think

 

[Duckster]

Ah I been slacking a bit. Finally did my first res change yesterday on day 17. The girls seem to be doing though. Here they are on day 18.

The WC is plodding along.

I'm impressed with the GSC, she is nearly twice as big as her tentmate
