Meanwhile, north of the border in the good nation of Canna-da-bis....

The Canada dispensary had very little info about the buds and strains.
I asked, but they couldn't even say if it was indoor or not.
Whereas in California they had a lot of good info like that.
I guess the new Canada laws will be coming into effect in the next few months.
So maybe that kind of info will show up later on.

Probably really depends on the dispensary. On the NW Coast, anyways, there are zillions of shops opening up recently that don't seem to know anything, but there are also older non profits that have a lot of expertise, test their goods, etc.

If they can"t answer basic questions about their products, I don't go back.

That being said, I went with my son to the store that he shops at, and got an 1/8th of GDP for only $24 that was just short of 4 grams, and the quality was quite good. He got 1/8 of some Bubba for a mere $18- he says it's good but he's a noob and I haven't tried it.

In oregon ounces of herb go for 50$ an ounce in shops an that's stuff that's testing at 26%.I have picked up some for 30$ they say we have the cheapest legal market in the country an that's good cuz there's a lot of poor in Oregon an they deserve to smoke the best to.
 
@dankstyle J and @VitaMan -- yeah, it's really interesting what legalization does to the market place.
Not just in $ terms, but also expertise, knowledge, range, and so on.
Will prob be like the dot com bust in the 90s.
First, a lot of companies and products.
But then there will be a thinning down to the best.
Just hope that many small scale and niche gardeners and bud people will survive ok.
I think they will. They prob won't make a fortune, but quality will survive.

I hope your right about craft growers. I suspect that big money wants control over the market and even what seeds become available to home growers.

My city has a booming craft beer industry, I would like to see that extend to cannabis too.

I think that the "occasional" users will buy the Bud Lite products.
Not necessarily "light" on potency, just meaning bulk, popular product produced by big companies.
But the heads and blowers, some medical and all cannaseurs ( :p ) will go craft direction.

And, while the occasional users may be 90% of the people, and the heads just 10%,
we here all know who still smokes and uses 90% of the product, haha!!!

You keep growing your goods, @VitaMan . The world needs you!!
 
While I'm posting, for my AFN crew....

Will be moving to another location, another country, very soon.
I'm going from the sub-tropics to the full tropics this time.
Have a nice new job, same type of thing as before.

This country has its own long tradition of the herb.
Some famous indigenous strains, lots of IBL material, much of it wild.
Yah, it's still illegal, but fairly easy and common to get.
Think I'll have to check out the local product.
It's obviously sativa, long flowering, high / euphoric ganja here.

But I'll be taking my seeds, and see if I can grow some of my own.
Also figuring out how to take my oils and RSO... need a plan...

Growing outdoors here the light cycles are max of 13:11.5.
So doing photos outside will be like 12:12 from seed.
Which means that doing 10 week, or even 12+ week strains is fine.
12 weeks total is just like doing a photo with 4 weeks veg + 8 weeks flower.

Not sure if outdoor will be possible.
I won't be in the city, but out on the edges of the 'burbs.
Looks like some amount of farmland and unkempt vegetation areas.
May do a few weeks at home, and then plant out.
Plant them here and there, leave them, and come back and check every month.

Time to move to some sativa strains again, yah!!!!
