As a Colorado resident I can tell you that the quality is amazing and getting better all the time. As for corporate involvement there is very little due to the obvious federal government restrictions. There are lots of health/medical options available here with many not having any THC. So you should have plenty of options for your pain needs.
I thought I'd ask this here rather than on the "I'm stoned out of my gourd RIGHT NOW!" thread or instead of creating a new one.
My question here is mostly directed toward those who are in the know about marijuana quality in states where it is legal medically and/or for recreational use. My curiosity was piqued by a guy I ran into who said when the California dispensaries open for recreational marijuana in January, that which will be available will be, as he put it, "like Bud Lite" and "Monsanto pot", and "over-controlled"... i.e., not great quality non-organic. He also railed against vape pens, saying they are unhealthy to use because of what they use to atomizes the cannabis oils. (I'm hoping vaping is actually healthier/easier on the throat than the harshness of smoking.)
My interest in the herb will be mostly for health reasons related to arthritis, muscle and worn out joints that ache and pain resulting in wear and tear and age, anxiety, but also include the healthy benefits of relaxing and feeling good... of course!
Are the concerns of quality I've mentioned here minor, moderate or of major concern? How can one tell or find out about this kind of thing?
I went to a dispensary in Colorado last year. There were many different strains available in both Indica and Sativa. They had loads of options for whether you were looking to use it for medicinal or recreational purposes. I talked with several different people about the industry when I was there. So far, there is no 'Budweiser' of growers. Most of them are small, independent growers and many of them do grow organically. I'm sure you could ask in the dispensary for organic grown.
To quell any concerns, you could always visit a grower and talk to them directly.
Thanks, eddiec, I hope we get the same kind of choices here. rgambs said:

Good question but our weather extremes here make that iffy.

Sounds good! Hopefully the same will be true here in CA!

Here in OR, both retailers and growers want to be ligit and also maintain a good reputation with the public. Good retailers are invested in being connected with the growers and tracking the weed from beginning to end as far as how it’s grown and what, and what doesn’t, go into it.

You could power a small grow with a solar panel or a homemade wind turbine!

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
But then, after all, this is California so I'm guessing quality choices will be an option. I think they guy I spoke with was a bit reactionary, maybe a bit paranoid.

Here's a link to several videos from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission that regulates Oregon weed, talking about quality control, etc. The combination of the stiffness of a government video combined with the fact that weed is mostly about getting baked and having a good time is an amusing juxtaposition: http://golegaloregon.com/meet-the-licensees/
So I hear California has legalised recreational use and that it is legal in Canada. Why is Australia always lagging the rest of the world? It took us years to legalise same-sex marriage. We still have poor internet. Saw a debate on TV this morning about the push to legalise it here. Pros and cons were discussed.

Yeah, nah. Don't wanna hear it lol
Have you heard of Ozzy Man Reviews? Dude cracks me up.

I hope it becomes more widely legal. Only makes sense to do so.

guess i am heading back to california this year. it will be nice to return and being able to buy it so easily!! also i have heard that vegas is also a recreational 420 destination. i've heard of rec cannabis shops are all over the strip. anyone confirm?
It's all over the news here this morning (plus DUI ads).
For me, having a medical prescription for the next year or so, the only changes should be packaging and additional taxes. I figure other shit and details should be figured out over the coming months.

It's not legal in Canada yet, but will be in the middle of this year. All you really need for this to happen in Australia is a PM with the will to do it and a population who votes for him largely on that platform. Justin Trudeau promised to legalize when he ran, and it was one of the biggest election issues that helped him win.

Just curious, how long does it take for cannabis to leave your system so that you do not violate DUI laws?
I don’t think there’s an on the street test cops can give like a breathalyzer. I think in Washington they’re trying to develop one. Cops now assess impairment, but I don’t know how well it would hold up in court.

Generally speaking, driving 15 MPH in a 45 MPH zone is often a clear giveaway.

Try buying a recommended strain and research the grower...?
Also, there are SO many recipes for edibles out there, enabling you to control dosage and means of ingestion.
Me, very happy that the times, they are a-changing.

This is such a win/win!
Guessing it hasn't left my system since the early 80s
We've invested in a company developing "breathalyzers" for just this purpose. Again, win/win!
