    Trying some live resin for the first time.

    Interesting.  How is this different from hashish (which I believe is resin, right?)
    Hash is basically resin. Either rubbed off by hand(black hash) or sifted and pressed(blond hash). I'm not sure how this is processed but it's lab tested at 75% THC. It tastes just like hash.
    Yum!

    So apparently there is a big sativa shortage happening here. Dispensaries are literally out of it in a lot of cases, and it's been weeks, and still not improved. I've noticed that the selection of hybrids has also gone down. I have not been able to find sativa for a good 6 weeks (I've turned to a hybrid budder instead). I asked the guy at the place wtf was going on, and he just said that there isn't any supply and talked about how it is super hard to grow sativa. But that doesn't explain the sudden shortage, which has never been an issue before. I have a suspicion that maybe the impending legalization has something to do with this sativa supply issue. Like maybe sativa producers are stocking up for legalization because it is harder to grow, and they want to make sure they are prepared to stock the stores come October??? Anyone else in metro Van or BC generally found a shortage of sativa?

    Can the medicinal suppliers also supply the recreational users as well ... that could limit supply for everyone for a short while until more grow ops come online...

    I am talking about medical dispensaries.... but of course I don't know who their specific suppliers are. This is still a grey market, so very much not cut and dry as far as supply goes.

    We still have a ton of unlicensed dispensaries here, but the City of Vancouver has licensed some of them (for a $30K annual licensing fee, and they have to meet certain regulations, i.e. can't sell edibles (dumb), and can't be within a certain distance of schools, that kind of thing) ... It's still illegal as far as the provincial and federal governments are concerned of course, but they don't give a shit obviously.

    Obvious ... 30 grand licensing  fee is theft.  Just another attempt by government to shut out small business entrepreneurs from the market.

    Lol, well considering the fact that it's completely illegal for those businesses to be operating in the first place, I'd say it's actually a pretty fucking good deal. Most cities would just raid them and shut them down, and then fine them and/or press criminal charges, sooooo.....

    Yeah, I didn't really imagine it was a national shortage. Just a more local one. Most of the (semi-legal/illegal) dispensaries here get their stuff pretty local.

    If it was a national shortage, there could be issues lol. I'm applying to work a facility that will be growing for dispensaries and they were saying that they have some contracts set up to deliver their goods out to BC. already

    I would assume that's only to the BC Liquor Distribution branches though, which is the only distributor that will operate in BC come October 17th. But I definitely look forward to what will likely be a reliable and vast selection at any given private store when that happens! Currently, the non-legal/legal Vancouver stores are clearly completely at the mercy of whatever random growers/distributors they can find with product. You can tell because the strains that they are selling are constantly changing. If you find a strain that you totally love, the chances of you getting it regularly going forward are pretty slim. You can still always get good bud, but there is no real consistency. Although that isn't so much the case with concentrates. Just the bud. The concentrates are usually nicely packaged and branded these days.
