Was in Massachusetts last year on 4/20, didn't even realize it until our friends mentioned it was the 1st legal one in the state. We googled some local shops, but they all had 1-2 hour waiting time to even get in.

Hoping NY gets on the bandwagon sooner than later. Thankfully, I have a jar of oil on the freezer that we bake our own cookies from.

Puff, puff pass my friends.

Amsterdam quit having the 4/20 festival when I was living over there.

Nobody cares anymore.

Oh people care. The weed Shedick is selling today was shipped in the last few weeks. Helped my clients move a few hundred pounds over that time, mostly by keeping the cops away from it ‘cause they seemed to think it was illegal.

My clients’ weed is all legal and licensed, which is why they got to keep it. The cops were just being dicks.
He was getting a grand a lb. so saved him a pretty penny.

Still amazes me, it’s weed people. It grows like, well a weed. Why are you buying it?

How much would the cost go down if Big Tobacco was given the green light?

Carson, no money in it anymore or Amsterdam is boring now?

Wholesale prices are way down because you don’t have to worry about Johnny Law as much. Retail is down at the low end because it actually labeled with a % and that never happened in the black market, an 1/8 was $50 in 1982 and that’s about the middle of the line nowadays, if you take out taxes of course.

4/20 like every other day. My medicinal CBD with a touch of THC until this covid thing is over and I start flying again, if I can afford it anymore.

Did some consulting for some rookie CBD /hemp growers on the business side of field production over the winter. Unfortunately a lot of growers still have the 2019 crop unsold, and are holding it right now waiting for some kind of upturn. The experienced hemp growers are the ones who had a significant amount of crop production experience, had their asses handed to them a few times and figured it out.

It is mostly a side line crop and should be since good farmers have a 5 to 6 crop mix anyway. Seems to be plenty of THC bud around, I am fixing to plant my 4 plants in about a month. Don't burn it much myself, I prefer the edibles, plus I can trade my grow bud it for ammunition.

40 years ago the dudes at the gas station were selling gram dime bags for $ 10. They made decent money gramming it out from ounces, but I would have thought the street price / retail price now would have went up. They were pinching at least 3 hits per sale so you had to watch them.

Amsterdam is trying to get rid of tourist attractions.

The Red Light Districts are being scaled back.

A-dam reminds me of San Francisco: lots of gentrification and smug assholes.
