    I received my first legal weed in the mail this morning. 


    How is it? I'm curious about the potency of it when compared to the stated THC ranges. Since I've never had labelled weed before, I really am not sure what levels I want to aim for. I do want potent weed, so I assume the high end would be good, but WTF does 0 - 25% THC mean, for example?? Does that mean I might get shake or I might get really strong weed or what??
    I'm not the guy to ask, I'm not an experienced smoker. My brother in-law who is a regular user said it was good, and it did the trick for everyone at the party. 

    Where do you get the 0 to 25% numbers from?
    Some of the strains on the BC website are labelled with that. 0% - 25% THC. Most aren't like that, but a few are. And all of them have ranges for the THC content, i.e. 18% - 24%, etc. None of them just have a a set percentage. Clearly they are not willing to be accurate about the THC content in any case.
    Huh, the % on the box is very specific (20.88%) but on Alberta cannabis website there is range of 15% to 25% THC content. That is interesting.

    Yeah, the bc store guy confirmed that the packaging is specific, but the website is not. I think the growers aren't giving accurate levels to the distributor, just ranges.

    Maryland is slowly but surely coming along.  So as soon as I can save some dough (which might be a while) I'm going after my medical card.  A buddy of mine just got his and said it was pretty quick and painless. Turnaround time was about 3 weeks (they state up to 30 days) from the time he registered to the time he had the card in hand.  Prices at the dispensary in town are pretty in line with street prices as far as bud goes.  Vape cartridges are another story, almost double the street cost. But if I go out of town I could potentially get much better deals. We also have another dispensary coming in soon which should make the current one a little more competitively priced.  I haven't had a reliable source for a long time, and honestly, I can't even remember the last time I bought any. It'll be nice to just walk in a store and grab some when I want.

    Toronto Airport Says Cannabis Trash Cans Are Not 'Free Weed' Bins

    Toronto’s Pearson Airport has an important message for would-be stem-pickers: The weed there is not up for grabs.

    The people who clean out and prepare the rental cars at DIA also get to find/keep Colorado leftovers.

    Good luck today.

    As someone who relies heavily on cannabis for health reasons, getting hit with an extra $75 on taxes today disgusts me.  It's arbitrary, of course; never paid since getting my doctor's rec and this shit adds up.  Now to get a state-verified card, I must travel to the local Health Department, and apply and pay the fee in person.

    Assholes.

    I hear ya about the taxes.  I pay tax on my medicinal, and since legalization, we are also supposed to pay an excise tax ... my company so far eats the excise tax ... but they won't forever.  You have a right to be disgusted, $75 is steep.  Is it possible to grow your own?  There are a couple of clinics in my area that fills out the paperwork so I can grow my own.  With legalization we are allowed 4 plants no higher than 100 cm, except Manitoba, I believe the provincial government banned the growing of your own.  Going through health Canada and getting a grow licence gives one far greater leeway with how many plats you can have with no height limits.  I also read a piece in the paper in which a customs spokesperson from US customs says they are not turning back medicinal users ... so for me, I just renewed ... Good luck getting stuff sorted out.

    That sucks you have to pay the rec tax Hedo.  The woman I voted for governor in New Mexico favors legalization as does the man I voted for the Senate. I just got my medical card because even if the law changed I thought it would save on taxes. 75.00 would be a big hit!

    The dispensaries vary in taxes imposed; I ordered through a different one under the same "main" umbrella and voila - no fees!  It feels like the state is scrambling to catch up to the need, cost, logistics, etc. (or just playing dumb).  There's a Canadian company whose stocks and progress we've been watching which, if it works, would be fantastic for users both within and outside of Canada.

    As to growing our own, living in a 700 sf condo with two cats doesn't make it feasible for us...though might be worth a shot down the road.  I'm OK with plants in general but my husband is the canna king =)

    Are you even allowed to grow in your condo if you wanted to? Here renters and stratas are allowed to ban home growing because of the potential damage it can do to the units, and/or because of fire hazards with grow lights.

    Very good points.  Here in Ontario rental companies have been banning smoking and vaping within a rental unit and on their property.  The smoking I understand, the vaping makes no sense.  I'm not even sure about smoking.

    Yeah, the vaping makes no sense at all. If I lived in a place that banned vaping I'd just vape anyhow though. Nobody would know the difference.
    My own building (owned by a very large rental management company that also owns its buildings, based in Toronto) have banned growing of any kind, but we're still actually allowed to smoke cigs and weed, as long as it's in our own units (including the balcony). We're just not allowed to smoke anything in public/shared areas of the building.

    Fortunately, we own our place and doubt smoking would ever be banned in our building.  For growing, I've only seen that illegal or hazardous plants aren't allowed, so we're in the clear!  Not sure I'm up for the hassle, cost and now risk (?!) associated with it.
