Legal Weed Thread.... updated 1/31/15

I assume you mean "weak", and not "week", as weed generally takes 8-12 weeks to bud. Outdoors, it always buds in the fall. So yeah you can plant it in your garden and it will grow. As long as it doesn't snow where you live, you should be ok. Frost is OK.


When grown outdoors a good strain will lose some of its potency. You will never see >25% THC outdoors, the conditions just don't exist in nature to grow it like that. It will still retain the majority of it's potency as long as it was grown in good sun and was watered regularly and sprayed.

Woops... I meant weed like a weed, as in would it go batshit crazy and grow everywhere destroying everything else.

 

[BudAshes]

Yeah, that's BS. In general Colorado is still inferior to CA for quality.


Lower oxygen content does not increase THC production, and stunts the plants growth. Why do you think there is a "tree line" at ~8,000 ft above which plants don't grow? If lower oxygen was better, the top of Everest would be a rainforest.


Trust me on this. I actually worked in this industry for a good while.

Just remember, whatever john connor posts is completely wrong. It will serve you well.

It would be full of seeds and poor to smoke though. Male plants don't grow smokeable bud and if a female gets pollinated you might as well cut it down unless you are harvesting seeds.

When I was a young lad coming back from a trip out west with the folks (ugh) we stopped at a rest stop in Nebraska and walking the dog there was weed growing on the edge for miles up and down road. I was ecstatic so that night we stayed in a KOA and sure enough on the edge campground was weed, weed everywhere! I was in heaven! I filled my duffle bag this weed and hid it in the camper until we go home.

Well it turned do be worthless hemp, I didn't know I as a 16 year old thinking he hit the lotto. You could smoke the whole duffle bag and not get high, and we tried. I wonder how many others have been as stupid. It was growing everywhere from nebraska to ohio all down the high ways, everywhere weed! Probably still there.

I have a medical card. It was $44 and took an hour to get, and now there are over 1500 clubs and delivery services within 15 miles of my place. I have it for neuropathic pain from a spinal injury, but haven't used it this year, yet.

It's crazy to see people getting put in jail for this. It's less than harmless. Here are screenshots of the weedmaps app on my iPad.

It can only show a max of 200 dispensaries at a time. Which is not enough to even cover long beach.

Hemp is just the male plant. Somewhere along the side of that road was a female, you did hit the jackpot you just didn't know what to look for 🙁

Meh, oversupply. A bunch of places will go out of business, then the decent places will continue and make money. Way back in the day when cars were a new thing, there were a shit-tonne of car manufacturers in the United States of America; a bunch went out of business, the strong survived and made a lot of money. Same thing will happen here I'm sure.

Bingo. It's already happening! Prices are insanely low here. You can pretty much spend no money at all and smoke every day of your life.



Weed is free here, if you have a car, gas, and a medical card. Every single one of these clubs will give you a free pre-rolled joint or gram or edible on your first visit, and since there are 1500 within a few miles, you can ALWAYS be on your first visit. You don't even have to spend any money.


Half of these "delivery services" are just some dude and his cell, and his weed. It's comical.



It will be in your state soon. It's great, you'll love it.

Legalizing pot has always been a terrible idea. All you need to enter the black market is dirt. Know where I can get any of that?

I'm going to stop reading here because this post reminded me to double check OP, and since it is chicken little, I can guess how the rest of the thread went.

Where can I get some of this magic dirt that you speak of? Last I checked, horticulture was a lot more nuanced than just dirt.

Lol that's epic bullshit. It's a plant. Grow it. If idiot teenagers can do it in their parents basements it isn't hard.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Look up why drugs, in general, were made illegal.


Then maybe enroll in school. If you think drugs and race have nothing to do with each other you are either an idiot or a toddler.

So only certain races use drugs, or certain races are against, or whatever.

again, /facepalm

sounds a lot like

It's fucking easy. Throw seeds on the ground. Plants sprout. Pick hamburgers. Repeat.

 

[Fritzo]

It's a new market, it'll balance out.

 

[HeXen]

It's pretty much like any farming. How rich do you think the straw farmer is? Exactly. They sell straw by the bail on craigslist for $10 flippen dollars. a BAIL. If it Ultimately became that free and open to grow it would be the same thing. Well ok you don't harvest the entire weed plant, but still, Aint nobody gettin rich. And geez it actually costs money to get rid of weeds they grow so good lol.

Wow we get it for $4 a bail.

 

[natto fire]

A plant requires a seed, water, UV light, CO2, and the correct climate, so not sure why you think it is bullshit to call BS on just needing dirt. Granted, it is a very hearty plant, and the "weed" nickname is well deserved. There are loads of planets that are "just dirt" and don't have plants growing on them, so maybe think a little bit before calling epic bullshit.

Why is produce so expensive if all you have to do is look at a piece of dirt and think "just grow it"? The soil also has to be the correct pH and have nutrients and draining characteristics suitable to the plant growing in it.

it's not hard to grow weed. it's hard to grow good weed that people will want to smoke

 

[tential]

You bet your sweet ass cigarettes should be outlawed. I hate tobacco more than weed. D:

So this whole thread is based on what you feel should be legal, not its actual repercussions on society.

Good to know.

 

[Rakehellion]

So are you saying you are going to not only repeal individual state laws for recreational use in WA and CO in order to abuse more minorities, you are also going to go after AIDs and Cancer patient's medication?


Wow, stand up guy you are

Look at his avatar. Cops are assholes.

The repercussions are clear. Legalization does not work. Once a Republican is sworn in 2017, we can finally clamp down on this nonsense. All we have to do is withhold billions in highway funds and other benefits. Then we confiscate the farms and incarcerate the users like never before!

Those states will step back in to line....or else.

This post really illustrates how little knowledge of botany you have. Yes, you can stick it in the ground, water it and it will grow. Will it be worth any money? Not if you grow it.

You understand racism isn't based on factual evidence or statistical data, right?

Republican, Democrat... It's all the same shit, and only the beneficiary of the socialism changes. Americans are too cowardly to vote a Libertarian into office. They're deathly afraid of a meritocracy.

I hate getting into P&N topics in OT, but I have to bite on this one. Are Republicans finally giving up this "smaller government" facade to get back to old school (civil war) ideals of a large federal government that will strongarm states to conform to them? I don't keep in the loop on this crap much, but I am genuinely curious.

Haha, right. It's just a plant. Grow it!

I assume you're a troll, because why else would someone publicly most something so stupid?

Your only reasoning it won't work is that there is a black market?
Again like I said, why aren't you crusading to ban apartments, alcohol, cigarettes, and even music industry, just because of the existence of a black market?
