    Good info Ivan. Good to know about the medical controls. Thanks.

    I just worry about those sellers for recreational use that are unscrupulous, buying/selling bootleg stuff, and the worst will happen.

    All the horror stories you read about synthetic weed, home made vape products, God knows what's in there!

    I'm sorry to hear that. People need to be more respectful of others, smoking in public is not just illegal but not cool. You see kids around and you're still okay with it? Keep it to private domicile or edibles. The companies running the mountains could do a better job of policing I'm sure.

    With you on that last thing too. Seeing Skips house made me realize how much I effd up but then I remembered where I've come from and 95% of the others are in way worse shape than I am.

    Hey it is what it is...I was a ski boy and the biggest pothead out there, but we used to wait till we got to top of the mountain in seclusion or back out our lodge. The last 3 trip that included Colorado and Oregon with the family you could smell it everywhere in the base and lodge areas that's what suxx

  • There has only been QC issues with concentrates.

    I mean we used to make it ourselves with butane (still some use this method today) but in my mind people gon do it. Might as well have professionals supply instead of whatever person growing it with whatever chemicals.

    I was an everyday smoker for the last 15 years up until this year. Considering I'm 27 I figure I'd have some sort of medical... Wait what were we talking about again.


    All in good fun, if you choose to use don't abuse and I agree that it's most important to keep it away from kids. I've seen and been in some bad households where it's sad to see how much parents don't care.

    At the end of the day, if it rocks your boat (in a good way) go for it, have fun and don't drive. 😁

    He's a silver spooned idiot. With all the money the state will collect in taxes off this stuff, he still felt the need to raise license plate registrations by 50 bucks. Trading in a car on a new one now will cost an additional 1000 bucks roughly. Can't wait to get the fook out of this state.

    Ahah, in my opinion, smoking weed is nothing terrible and scary and can be understood because he wants to relax. By the way, I recently found out that my brother ordered CBD oil for vape. I took his computer to play and saw the page http://knockoutcbd.com and realized that he had been using cbd for a long time. I talked with him and he explained that he had problems at school. I understand him and therefore I did not say anything to my parents. Be a good brother))

    I wonder if you would feel the same way if in a couple of years you found out that your brother was chasing the dragon? Hopefully he won't, but you never know what you don't know.

    That is a gigantic leap Jose.... *rolls eyes*

    yea just found yesterday one of my good friends had moved to Missouri. He had his own business (Great Harvest Bread Company) and got so fed up he sold it and his family moved to as he put it "A large compound in the country" He told me his first neighbor was 4 miles away. His wife also was a realtor on the side and found some real nice property that was much cheaper than anywhere here in Illinois. Nice house on 10 acres of land.

    Same with my best bud, he moves in 3 years to his 10 acres outside of Nashville. Once he builds his house, his property taxes will be 1000.00 a year.

    Girlfreinds niece came for a visit last week who is a political science professor. I just couldn't believe her ignorance and lack of logic. Our conversations about the times we live in were completely baffling to me. I won't go into detail but I'm sure you guys can just imagine. She has no issue with high taxes and thinks we need to pay more. :D

    My wife told me yesterday that NC has proposed legalizing herb again. Maybe this time it'll pass.

    There's enough CBD shops on every corner now. Finding a distribution store for real herb shouldn't be a problem.

    There's an empty K-Mart store around the corner...That would be a great building to turn into a dispensary. 1 block from UNCW too. They would have plenty of business!

    Here in NC, it's all about $$$$ now also.

    As I was changing channels this morn. I heard the news person say they ( the NC government) think the tax revenue generated from herb sales would go to good use.

    Just like the Lottery was supposed to help school systems here. :|

    Like umm you ever heard of umm Illinois? They tax you by the THC content. I've heard as high as 80% tax. The governor is bragging about how many millions we are bringing in every month. Legally only medical weed card holder folks can grow up to 5 plants.
