Oh no, I think I just "toked" about five times that in a single bowl... Better call an ambulanceA couple of people in this thread, right now.
It's been good knowin' ya, kid. See ya on the other side.
Not a problem. I never smoke before 4pm.
I thought big pharma is bad...
Besides, if you "overdose" on marijuana you just get a UV light or disinfectant injection, it shuts the whole thing down, many people are saying.
No surprise here. NJ with its regulations and disdain for small businesses is moving slow on opening up stores. The price (due to overtaxing) may also be an issue. I happened upon a store yesterday in Millstone and took a look. He was asking $45 for an eighth and about $82 for a quarter ounce. Much higher than i can get from the local street guy
So you pay an extras $40 for weed that has some hope of not having been treated with stuff that will give you rectal cancer and cause your weenie to fall off.
The cartels ain't worrying about getting sued for using super-cheap highly carcinogenic **** on their crops. But agri-growers growing legal weed will be worried about it, at least a little bit.
We can't have you dying of butt cancer. We want you alive so we can tease you about your awesome view of wind turbines from the beach all up in your 'hood.

the product i purchase comes from legal dispensaries in CO. The guy buys in bulk at much cheaper prices and redistributes here in NJ
what silly about it? We are not getting as much tax revenue as planned (no surprise) and its mostly due to not a lot of stores opening up and higher prices. Compared to other states we are moving a lot slower
I'm waiting for Costco to open dispensaries in their stores. Probably get a solid deal on 5Lbs of ganja bulk pack
Man going to be a **** show or dare I say smoke show. Driving up 22. They are opening 2 pot shops a couple hundred yds from each where Bowcraft used to be. Think I counted like 7 or 8 on way to Bridgewater....gonna be lots of dope head suppliers going UP IN SMOKE when the smoke settles. I equate it to pandemic masks...everybody and their brother sold or purchased masks that were not in that business and once the music stopped and there were no more chairs....lots & lots of people have lots of masks that cannot be sold
Also not a doper but I always think everything outside the box. If your a dispensary selling weed....there has to be a shelf life on the weed...how long can you keep in stock before you take a loss and dispose or puff the magic dragon yourself so you dont take the loss. It's not like beer in a can/bottle that has extended shelf life. The **** has to dry out and lose its magical powers right?
You think it’s the first perishable good to ever be sold? You think the pot people in NJ have been smoking for years has been fresh from the farm? It’s vacuum sealed and temperature controlled - it’s not magic. And you think demand for pot is going to decrease? I don’t think any drug dealer in the world has ever had the problem of sitting on inventory that nobody wants.
But then again, I’m a “doper”, what do I know…
Yet weed is cheaper and there are dispensaries on every corner in CA. Why?
Because of FEDERAL law you can only grow within the state boundaries and NJ doesn't have much space for that.
You can guess who put the kibosh on changing it last year.
I wonder if this is legal because, as @NotInRHouse says, federal law bars the interstate transport of marijuana and so requires that weed sold in a state have been grown in that state. (In other words, the fact that the product comes from legal dispensaries may not protect it from the bar on interstate transport.)
Okay. Although, how do you know that's where he gets it? He's apparently looking to profit, so I would think he'd source it at the cheapest place possible.
Anyway, you're a grown up, so you can decide that stuff without help from me. In my case, if I'm gonna buy anything, I'll do it through some totally aboveboard, totally legal, hopefully safe NJ place. However, I'm not highly motivated to buy any anyway.
It's one thing buying skunked weed from the local street dealer...its another thing buying skunked weed from a state legal weed dealer. I'm sure there are parameters in place to deal with that issue. Ironically I took a girl friend (platonic friend) down to E-Port virtually every other day back in the 80's for her to buy weed. I didnt smoke it but felt it was unsafe for her to go there as a girl by herself. She could have announced a new pope 15x a day...she was like a chimney
Even pharmaceuticals can sometimes be sketchy. Anything with Made in China on it can be flushed.
The problem with ur theory is there were alot less street dealers than there are going to be legal dealers....lots are going to go out of business...look no further than Canopy Growth in Canada stock was getting crushed down like 80%. After a few years to get up & running big boy pharma will crush retail like a grape.
There's already oversupply in the cannabis market. But like every other product and service it will work itself out eventually. In the early 30s, when prohibition was repealed, some bootleggers probably tried to keep selling bathtub gin for a while but eventually disappeared. There is a distinct advantage to assured quality when you're talking about things people ingest. And though I haven't heard about fentanyl finding its way into pot like it has into all the hard drugs just the possibility must make some people think about their source.
you ever think who came up with the idea to smoke a plant to *** you up. How many plants did they go thru until they found the right one. Things that make you go MMMMMMM!!! As Arsenio would say
Yet there are a huge number of stores opening up every single day. Best friend's brother opening one up in Elizabeth
It's beyond me why anyone would touch opiates at this point in time but consider that a lot of people who do are unafraid of self-destruction because it's basically what they're looking for. A lot of ODs are probably not unwanted.
I'm not your lawyer and don't want to be, but you might want to be cautious about knowingly receiving a product transported illegally.
True, but when you buy illegal stuff, or buy stuff illegally, that's usually more risky, right? 'Cause there's no legal recourse, or at least, whomever you're dealing with has already demonstrated they're not strongly motivated by legalaities, so they are less likely to take the care a legal enterprise would.
All because, to take legal action, the buyer needs to admit to a crime.
Anyway, we all take risks. Not like I drive legally all the time.
in case you haven't been paying attention, no one gets arrested anymore. Its the wild, wild west
No one gets arrested for using, growing, or selling. But transporting large quantities in violation of federal law might get the attention of federal law enforcement authorities, and you're taking a risk by being a knowing accessory to that. It might not be a big risk, but it's a risk. But it's up to you, of course.
Whether we admit it or not the excessive amount of alcohol, marijuana and drugs may seem like not a big thing but it will become worse in the next 5-10 years. . If we are all being somewhat honest here it should be a big concern especially those with children and grand children. Seems great to many but take a good look around and see if it really is .
i guess but my purchasing of .25 oz every couple months is likely not to get the attention of any law enforcement.
