Why the fuck it should be legal in the first place is a better question. Legality will just ruin weed and make it another shitty mass-produced product that's made as cheap and fast as possible. Just look at the Netherlands, the weed there is so shit that it's not even worth buying, and there are not dealers around because it's already legal and sold in stores. Fuck off, you stoner piece of shit.

Oh dude I hate it. If I got to retail and want an edible the strongest I can get is 100mg and it's is 80 bucks it's robbery.
And concentrate labs are shutting down too because of the legal carry limit on it is like half a ounce I think? So the ones left in the game are jacking up prices and I'm out hear 55 bucks for a gram of it.

Theres no trick to the paranoia.
Just act as if it doesn't exist..
No actually.. Don't act..
Be like it doesn't exist at all.

Never had an issue with the po po growing wise.
And I was never caught when i had someone on me(never even hid the stuff most of the time it was in my pockets) because I am always straight forward like theres nothing wrong...because there isn't.

Don't have any tips really..I don't have or use any extra gizmos.
I have a really nice balcony, and alot of other vegetables growing around it so its pretty hidden.
Since Im on the 3rd floor, theres always a slight breeze, so the smell isn't a problem.
Nice deep pot, lotta dirt, compost and some organic fertilizer for your minerals other needs.
I don't make a science of it, never had a sick plant, nothing attacked it in terms of bugs.
Well.. Expect my dogs, they tried to eat it when it was still very early in vegetation.

It is important however to trim the plant from the braches that just take up space and energy. That takes practice but can be found on the net.

"Legal"

Until the US removes cannabis from being scheduled, none of this schedule 2 BS. All of this legal and medical marijuana is just a ploy.

Employers can still fire/not hire you because its still techincally illegal, regardless of state.

You can have your kids taken away by CPS, regardless of legal state or medical card.

Any "legalization" is just a distraction from the main goal. Remove it from the scheduled drugs completly.

Sell tax and regulate like alcohol.

And if you are a hippie faggot who doesnt want "big pharma" or goverment to control the weed. Dude STFU you uneducated burnt out non voting POS. You can get high regardless.

No, because I don't buy from niggers. If it becomes legal, manufacturers will lower the THC to almost nothing in order to make people buy more of it and it will end up being more expensive than if it was still illegal. This has already happened in the Netherlands, don't repeat the mistake.

>>
>>693172693
If it becomes legal, the government will make every effort to get smokers to buy taxed weed instead of dodgy dealer weed, so they will put the prices way down. This is why your alcoholic drinks are so cheap and so easily accessible, whilst still containing good amounts of alcohol.

>>693173672
Because cannabis as a crop is simply better. Are you implying that we should keep the better thing illegal, just so that we can carry on using the shittier things?
>>
>>693173591
You don't because the sellers would lose money then. It's the same reason why McDonald's hamburgers are garbage. When weed is legal, you can product as much as you want without worrying about getting caught instead of making small amounts of good weed. So of course it's going to become mass produced trash.

Well I live in Scotland, it's alright but it's worse than Amsterdam. It's double value over there compared to here at least, sometimes triple. Plus the quality is better.

Except cannabis currently where legal is regulated so tightly that barely a few places can even grow/sell it.

international treaties, blatant social ignorance/religious beliefs, government law efforcement funding at federal, state, county, city level and corporate corrections system lobbying....to name a few. also, california had poor system in place to truly reap its benefits unlike colorado which gained valuable insight how to best reverse illegality of marijuana.

to be fair to california's legalization it was truly revolutional for its time.
>>
>>693178544
Hmm well, that sounds like a shitty system indeed. But then, if only a small handful of producers have a license, concurrency is strong and that may hold those few back from producing generic low quality stuff because there is no monopoly, and each of them needs to stand out in some way to keep their customers. If there were only 5 brands of Wodka in the world, I don't think there would be more than one generic brand. And they'd probably not have a market share that'd push the other 4 out of business because you always have quite an amount of people willing to pay for quality.

Good question. For all countries where they decriminalized or legalized it, prices are lower than those of your average street dealer. That's necessary to initially compete with them.

European countries aren't very comparable to the United States with 50 different sets of laws to regulate legalization, and with some of the largest drug cartels in the world providing some of the cheapest and most amount of product in the world.

This is SOOO True!
WA State is the proof!
That's why I did not vote for legalization / regulation / taxation / higher price fixation.

Canadian here, REALLY hoping the government doesn't fuck up legalization. They've already talked about limited THC percentage, which could mean no concentrates.

Also they want to be "as safe as possible" when they legalize, which might mean no edibles cause of children, and no home growing as it can be easily used to sell to the black market.
