One of the most satisfying experiences is knowing that you can be self-sustaining, but it takes a lot of work and patience and then more money. When you get the first harvest under your belt pay yourself for the weed like you had to buy it at the dispensary and sock it away.I have as well. Hopefully in another 100 days it wont matter. Im in day 3 of my first grow.
I don't think they will. Business currently has a built in fail-safe: not everywhere is rec legal or even med legal. The market hasn't finished it's expansion yet.
But yeah, dispensary weed sux! I wouldn't be toking if I couldn't grow my own, or didn't know someone who did. I originally thought it was just me because I didn't smoke for 20+ years, and everyone I knew thought dispensary weed was great. Once I got my hands on some homegrown I couldn't believe the difference. Even a sativa leaning hybrid that's homegrown will give me a mellow stone, but dispensary weed is like speed. I'm guessing it's the chemicals they use. Spray or feed some volatile substances to the plant to keep the bugs away or get bigger buds, and you get that added to your high. Kind of a disgusting thought imo. I'm sure they'll start doing the whole GMO thing soon and then we'll have weed that cures cancer but causes seizures. But don't worry, this one stops seizures, unfortunately it causes neuralogical disorders and heart disease. But don't worry, this one....
Until three weeks ago I never knew how hash was even created. IDK how much use able trim Ill have this year but bet your ass Im trying it. Im looking forward to it.Get some filter bags or follow @GNick55 instructions for dry sifting. You will kick yourself for not trying to make it before.
Let em crash and burn! The black market will thrive. Ppl are just starting to realize this craft smoke is beating the pants off dispo salt smoke. When the majority realize, dispensaries will be nervous. Large scale cannot beat the quality of craft grown cannabis.
Yet I hear about the shops selling it out the back door and then it’s on the way to Texas. And if they get caught it’s probably a fine and get to continue doing business.The problem here in Oklahoma is the penalties are stiffer now than ever on the street dealers and growers. They were already draconian and absurdly harsh here before medical mj. They have even got worse now. In the states mind they think since the public passed medical mj in a vote they now can run it into the ground with insane regs, fees and laws. And that pushes the little guy out and they go back to there old game and get thrown in prison for longer sentences. It's turned into a huge shit show here. You have the in-staters, out of staters. multinational investor groups and pharma. Then the idiots in OKC in the fat middle of it with no clue at all. It's like a retarded game of whack-a-mole!
Depends on how they are licensed up. It could be as little as a fine, or nothing. Or big time prison. It's all about what license they hold and how they use them. There are patients here that buy sell all the time. If they get caught it could be real bad.Yet I hear about the shops selling it out the back door and then it’s on the way to Texas.

Soon people will trade it for tomatoes and vegetables. Only killer strains will be of any value,seed and clone more than productDispensary weed sucks for the most part. I'm done with it. Over produced, dry crumbly mediocre weed. You need to grow it with love not greed. Weed has a weird karma to it. Even back in the day when it was illegal, if the grower decided to get greedy and have big grows they would usually get caught. It is a medicine for the people. Everyone should be growing its like tomatoes.
So where does this stand now?Here in Fla. we are working on legal rec. first didn’t pass because corp was behind and didn’t allow home cultivation or carting any quantity- they wanted you in their dispo!
Fast forward 2 years they have reworked the bill to include home cultivation of up to 18 plants -
where I’m going is they did studies and surveys in other legal states and found only 3% of consumers will grow.
Here in sw ok, my closest town has 4 liquor stores and 15 dispensaries-med only. Med card allows you to grow, and 1 in 4 adults have cards. Idk where its all going... old mids is $50-100.Yet I hear about the shops selling it out the back door and then it’s on the way to Texas. And if they get caught it’s probably a fine and get to continue doing business.
What goes up must come downWhat’s coming to them? History has shown greed usually wins..
It's awesome. The same clowns that lobbied to keep it illegal and had families destroyed,bankrupted people by siezures,denied it to medical users, and imprisoned people for decades so they could get the money from others misery now monopolize and promote it as a legit service. I hope every one of the greedy pricks goes under,plus they're screwing up the genepool and ruining cannabis flooding everything with unstable polyhybrids without regard to quality or customer satisfaction. Nothing but bad vibes to all these shylocks,I hope they compete each other out of business. I never have and never will enter a dispensary.Oregunion here;
Dispensary weed here is so cheap because it’s the oldest shit on the shelves.
Once it hits a year old they drop an once to 20 bucks! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
New weed is still top price at the same time.
I just saw a 1/2 pound of medical advertised in east Portland for $110 bucks, $10 of it is tax! fucking kidding me!
It's the same in Canada, before psuedo legalization(monopoly) it was 7 years max for cultivation with intent now it's 14. The corrupt government is involved and killing the little guy,just like they did with flu,keeping big stores open and forcing the small guy out.The problem here in Oklahoma is the penalties are stiffer now than ever on the street dealers and growers.

7 to 14 years that's nothing. When I got busted here in Oklahoma in the mid 1980's for a 6 plant grow I was looking at 40 years. But the Cops and DA being the idiots they are did not know how much community support I could bring to force and that I had deep enough pockets to hire the best lawyers in the state. Cost me $50k and I still had to do 30 days in the county jail. But I also got it all removed from my record after two years of felony probation and retained my voting and 2A rights. The poor sot they busted after me with one small plant got 20 years in the state pen and he had to do every damn day of it. He had no money and no community support because he was new in town. A group of us made sure his wife and child had some support and he got commissary money for the 20 years he was in. Even if they get rec. weed passed here you can be sure the morons in OKC will keep some level of draconian laws in play so they can snipe those that don't keep up with the laws. And they can still profit from it on both sides of the law book.It's the same in Canada, before psuedo legalization(monopoly) it was 7 years max for cultivation with intent now it's 14.
