Right on!

As far as packaging and branding go, these are some of my favorites.

We’ll be starting with the basic stuff that crosses over from our existing lines, tincture bottles, dropper pipettes, CR jars and caps and then see where we fit from an innovative angle. We can’t compete with big monsters in any market so find our niche.

So after doing a lot of research I decided to try Orchid Essentials vape cartridges when I was in California. I bought the Bubba2, Jack Herer, Apple Cookies and Tropical Trainwreck. After distillation they reintroduce the terpenes to maximize flavor and buzz and I’ll be damned if these cartridges (and designed to match battery) aren’t the best I’ve had. They’re available in California and Oregon.

Coupla weeks late on this....but your work sounds a LOT more interesting than mine! Give 'em Hell.

And I'll be checking this thread more carefully for the next time Flea is in the kitchen!

The early returns show that purchases of legal weed in MA are below projections and behind those of other states that have gone legal. How embarrassing.

Wow. Can't even blame Clams for that one. This is squarely on you, bubba. Get to work!

Heavy regulation and taxes keep the black market in business. What a surprise.

A lot of it is demographics, and a not insignificant portion of it is your inadequate dispensary system. It should change before long. I'm following all of this pretty closely now for business purposes and it's interesting as hell. The folks in New York trying to keep people from growing plants at all are pieces of work though.

Black Market Lives Matter

Cannabis depresses the immune system through its anti-inflammatory action and makes the person consuming it more susceptible and vulnerable to viral and bacterial infections. Scientific studies (Google “cannabis suppresses the immune system”) have proven this. https://www.marijuanabreak.com/full-spectrum-cbd-oil
Cannabis has benefits, but it’s not a cure all, its immune suppressing properties also makes people more at risk of developing auto-immune disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease. Again studies done on mice have proven this. Finally, I myself am proof that it does in fact suppress the immune system. After vaping for a whole week all day long, I developed a cold sore that lasted 2 weeks, followed by one of the worse colds I ever contracted.

Oh shit... I should be dead.

Perhaps some moderation could be in order.

Nahh, what's the point?*

A good friend of mine has the Pax pen for flower, so I've used it a few times. Pretty great product.

I won't keep any flower in the house until it's legal here or in a neighboring state. I'm an infrequent enough user that the annual vape pen drops I get from a buddy who lives in California keep me well stocked, and away from black market shenanigans.

Mostly yes, but “the times, they are a changing”.

It’s like when Dylan went electric!

New pipe ordered. Can you say "Infinity Stoned"?

just visited Montreal and got a gram of Great White Shark sativa for $8 CAN (or about $6 USD)... weed, a glass bowl, and a lighter for under $20... our country does not have its shit together.

I don't know phungi, California ain't too shabby. I went by my local dispensary this morning. It was happy hour so I got a 4g eighth of some really nice Sticky Icky Glue (Indica dominant hybrid) for $20. My stamp card was full so I got a free gram of moon rocks plus a top shelf joint to go. That's 5g of weed and a joint for $20.

Amen, lajakes.

I shop the local dispensaries “demo days”. You can get some buy one get one deals. It’s too damn convenient.

Black market is dying a slow death up here in NorCal.

Mass has a long way to go....

I was really impressed by the improvement in the recreational aspect of the CA dispensaries when I was there in March. Last year I had thought CO had their shit much more together but they're both good now. It might be a few years before I can enjoy any of it again but the progress has been amazing.

Kwitchyerbitchin, at least you ain't in Virginia. We won't get shit until the General Assembly sees money flying over state lines.

exactly my point... state-by-state deals reflect a fucked up governmental system... here in PA, the back-room deals are likely being made on within-state no-bid contracts on lighting, trays, tubing, etc before things go legal... imagine knowing which brand of rings would hold together distillery barrels before alcohol was made legal... there are several $ in legali$$$ation...
