Banana peels work really good as well.

But doesn't your pot end up smelling like bananas? For some reason the younger crowd smells pot like winos smell wine. If they smell the citrus or other smell they think the pot is crap. Hence the lettuce

Apparently you haven't ever had Banana kush.

As a matter of fact you are correct. Point taken.

Limonene seems to be my good terpene.

I don't understand a lot of the younger crowd stuff. Trim the buds. Grind the buds with a kief screen. Roll the ground buds, kief and trim into the same joint.
We used to do the same thing with a bag of untrimmed buds.

You can tell what strain it is and often times judge efficacy that way. ?

I am watching this with great curiosity, trying to puzzle out what the long term ramifications are.

I would say legalization is an overall plus even though I have no interest in it... tax bux, less lives ruined by police records...and so on.

But- what is the long term fallout? Many people made lots of money selling it.
That income stream was annihilated.
What is next?
Casual "dealers" aside, there are some legit criminals who are losing clientele and income... what is their next way to cash in?

I would imagine they still deal to a smaller more budget minded customer base, but your middle class smokers will spend the extra in order to nullify any risk.

I would be super curious to see what would happen if it was legalized at the Federal level.

Would we see an increase in other more harmful drugs being sold?
Or would the illicit drug trade wither and die because there is a legal option to get high, and although it might not be the same as harder drugs, it becomes the go-to just because it is legal?

@airtime143 I copied and responded over here as I thought this was a more appropriate thread for this conversation.


I think there would be some increase in usage from people that didn't want the risk associated with Cannabis when it was illegal. My best guess is that they will not become regular users and be more like someone that goes to Denver for a fun weekend but doesn't wake n bake every day.

There will still be a black market, but my guess is it will be smaller and more localized, especially in places where home growing is legal, people that are capable of growing might sell to friends. Instead of buying from a bigger dealer they would just keep their same small market and produce the product they need instead of paying for it.

The group that gets hurt the most by this is the cartel, but I do not think it will stop them from growing and selling black market but a lot of people, especially those that do not use a lot, will just go to the store to buy it because it is legal and safe.

I am not sure how it effects other drugs in any way. People that use those drugs still will. I don't think it would cause some flood of alternative drugs if there isn't some mass increase in demand.

My personal opinion is that legalization takes a lot (not all) of the money out of the black market and creates businesses, jobs, and tax revenue. All good things considering that we are talking about a relatively harmless plant.

The one aside that I find interesting is that may actually harm the alcohol industry in some ways if people realize that they can still take the edge off and not have to deal with the hangover or the negative health effects of drinking.

The positives certainly outweigh the negatives.

The MediHaze is growing good. Compact yet sativa like buds, and I even vegged a little long, I could go much longer and get the shape formed before flipping.

The MediHaze that I'm trying to get some male pollen from is not cooperating. I'm not sure if it's that determined to be female or if the last of the bottle of silver thiosulfate was bad. I guess I can keep pruning and spraying until I get some pollen to fly. Or I'll reveg the bigger one and keep trying instead of using my other 4 seeds. (Seedsman still isn't showing the variety as available to the US.)

This was also my first real success at cloning. I like the root system better (I've heard the opposite about clones). It could be the cheap light but they did not play along with making small lollipops. I think I'd need to make another box (instead of a shelf) if I wanted to keep a mother.

I see legalization as one thing and one thing only, corporate profits. It trades the illegal cartels for the legal ones.
We wouldn't be hearing legalization if it wasn't for corporations seeing the potential profits and paying the government to allow it.
The fight from govt is about govt profits, they make a lot of taxes playing the war on drugs card and the police unions get a lot of easy work going after weed.
The war on weed takes away manpower from fighting the war on harder drugs. They're focused on the low hanging fruit.

Imagine legalization that was real legalization. Everyone can grow, everyone can sell. No cartels are going to make any money on cannabis. We've already seen this with the PNW and their flooded market, legal growers couldn't make enough money to bother growing and went out of business.
Change that to let everyone grow and sell and it wouldn't come down to not profiting enough to run a business and pay for regulations adjusting the supply to demand. Even if it was handled like homebrewing beer or winemaking where you can't sell but can give the small time personal use homegrowers would keep prices down because it's that easy to grow.

Cmon Dems.......get the **** on it./ They are going to jack around until the mid-terms.....lose the senate again and removal of pot from the "it will kill you" list won't happen.

Oh you haven't seen the media? One article is trying to make the excuse that Biden doesn't trust polls. A Forbes article is saying they are who they showed us they are their whole careers.
Even Harris no longer supports stuff like she wrote in MORE, she is in lock step with Biden's continued prohibition that changes the name "prison" to "forced rehab".

The party that started prohibition 85 years ago is not going to change until their voters hold them to their word and stop voting for them.
This was all a con. Just like healthcare under Clinton was a con and healthcare under Obama was a con.

The breeder page says how it's resistant to bud rot because of small buds but this didn't look like it to me so this was before I sprayed and turned all the pistils orange. They look more short than long with air spaces which is what I'd think would avoid bud rot.
It's like a dwarf cannabis plant. Even the all Indica I grew fills up the space more.
A little over a month left.

Yay, got some male flower sacks starting. I don't know if it's good to have a herm produce the seeds but that plant was very not willing to be male so it has a lot of female flowers that will probably grab a lot of the pollen. The other is all female so I'll have to try hard to get some pollen on it. I'll separate them but save both sets of seeds since they may never be available in the US easily.
Both clones are very beat to crap with pruning and bending trying to fit them into the space. I think I need to build another box.

I don't think my original idea of short clone lollipops would've been as easy as it looks. Both clones were flipped with very little roots. Both wanted to be "big trees" (for a dwarf plant type).

Well, they legalized it here!

Recreational Marijuana: What you need to know in 10 numbers

21 Years The legal age to purchase, possess, and use cannabis under the new law is 21. Additionally, to work in the emerging cannabis industry, you must be 21 or older. But lawmakers are aware that…

www.krqe.com

some portions of the bill:

- Can purchase up to two ounces of flower or 800 milligrams of edibles daily.
- Can possess up to two ounces in public
- Can possess larger amounts in your home so long as it is kept out of public view. There really isn't any detail on this so I am assuming at this point you can have pounds if you want so long as it is locked away in a closet or something like that.
- Can grow up to 6 mature and six immature plants.
- In households with more than one adult the plant limit doubles to 12 mature and 12 immature plants, but that is the cap no matter how many adults live in the house.
- No smoking in public but they are going to allow smoking lounges for consumption outside the home. The fine is 50$ for smoking in public.
