No mention of paranoia? I have no idea how much THC I got the one time I ate edibles, but the paranoia I felt was debilitating. Then you have that cop that ate brownies and had to call 911 because he thought he was dying

Seriously, I think it should be one of the main things mentioned on this chart. Lots of talk about euphoria and coordination, but people need to know that extreme paranoia is very common

Gotta say the whole weed thing actually is kind of annoying, every morning I come out of the Canada line station for work into downtown and get blasted in the face with the smell of MJ, downtown just reeks every day with it... lingers way longer than cigarette smoke does too.

Don’t care if it’s legal, maybe wish people would pick their spots a bit better tho.

these things combined:

"unwanted effects/altered perception/rapid heart rate"

pretty much equals paranoia/anxiety for any user.

just think about it. you have unwanted effects, your perception is altered so youre even more alert about those unwanted effects, and the elevated heart rate doesnt help any of that. its all just almost setup for a panic attack if not just paranoia. lol.

few months ago the CBD oil from legal cannabis market got mixed up with THC...


imagine you're mind being fucking blown thinking its 50mg CBD your taking but its THC for a first timer i'm quite sure someone went to the hospital because of it.

I'm good with all the boutique-y expensive weed, but for the most part, I just want to get a good, price-efficient high.

I wish there was a way to filter available BCCS inventory by weight. Getting at least 1/4oz of weed brings a lot of strains close to black market prices, or lower. I am eagerly waiting for the day of no-effort, bulk-purchases from legal sources.

i'm waiting on October for proper vape pens,thc drinks would be okay but i think their gonna be weak as hell.

https://dabconnection.com/oil-pen-tests/

usa has being tons of testing for Pesticides in vape pens and it seems like lot of them contain some pretty harmful stuff,i take it their using really shitty grade un-flushed weed in their product for more dollar....reports of it actually harming peoples health from inhaling cheap vapes,there hasn't being any studies in canada here for the vape pen brands but i would be interested to see it since they all preach its AAA with organic terps

So far, the legal weed (BCCS) experience has been sub-par. I've had 2 delivery fuck-ups where my package was 'lost', and I had a couple orders modified because stock ran out. I miss the days where I just call my weed guy. Either he's available or he's not. If he's available, I have my supply in the time it takes me to drive to PoCo.

Hadn’t been into CannaClinic in a few weeks until last Friday, fuck they must have had 40+ different strains there.

Not to say any of them are crazy but at least you’ve got variety and it’s generally all fresh

Only the government could lose money selling drugs.

The Ontario government lost $42M selling cannabis in the last year

most legal shops are barely making ends meats i've heard...they get a 8% cut of what sell,the rest goes back to the government


the ones who thought it was a good idea to purchase a store front for 200k-300k on loan are just surviving

That's in line with tobacco products.

Main reason for all this is that underground market is still going strong. Overhead costs for most LP, put prices 3-4 times Higher than person growing in basements. Last I heard, it was costs about 2.60-80 per gram. To see real profits, this has to go down to .60-70 cents.

Case and point : Canntrust

FYI herbalizestore.ca is having a sale on right now with a secret 25% off code "THANKYOU"

good to vape your product and have none of that shit in you're lungs burning it IMO....works on everything in the store far as i'm concerned and i don't think any local stores have this 25% off beat.


also vape pens are coming soon with this.

Bought some CBD oil through the govt. website, 20mg of CBD/ML

Have enough for 20mg per day for 2 months, dosing nightly. I’m a pretty healthy person and workout 3-4 times a week however I have some inflammation issues with a disc in my back as well as some tennis elbow in both arms. So far I have seen minor improvements but hard to attribute it to the CBD

The 2 months worth of 20mg per day cost $170 with shipping

Most of the vaping related news as of late has been of data that showed thc vapes caused the most health effects. Unless it can be proven that THC was not cut with Vitamin E (common method), I'm gonna stay far far away. And yes, before you question whether or not I've done my research - I have. I vape (nic) frequently.

I get that Aurora is not likely going to use Vitamin E oil to cut THC, but what about the other vendors?

I would not be vaping from black market. You really have no clue what criminals are putting into them.

Bring on legalization 2.0. I'm more inclined to try edibles now that's it's legal.

Just vape the weed itself. Fuck concentrates etc. Can’t trust what’s in any of them imo
