Marijuana news and updates

I was eager to visit my acquaintance Ron when he moved out west following graduate university.

He accepted a job at a liberal arts university teaching songs theory & history to freshman & sophomore outdated students.

I was working at an online media publication doing copy editing & graphic design work whenever my help was needed in that department. It wasn’t making me thrilled, even though I was surviving & managing to pay my bills despite my frustrations with my work duties day after day. Ron wasn’t enjoying his work life any more than I was, however there was 1 big benefit that he could appreciate that I couldn’t. His state passed a law legalizing recreational cannabis just four years after Ron moved. Even though he was teaching at a university, his employer never conducted drug tests & didn’t force him to sign any paperwork promising that he would stay “clean.” That’s when Ron started encouraging me to visit him out west in his chique neighborhood apartment. Every one of us could visit all of the amazing cannabis dispensaries that he was respectfully frequenting. Since his state had a medical cannabis industry for years prior to the legalization of recreational weed, the stores & growing facilities were already open & ready to expand. Now you can find dispensaries on every other street corner in his city. Two of the strains that I enjoyed the most when I was visiting Ron were Runtz & Velvet Glove. They’re both insanely popular strains in the cannabis world & they’re also almost regularly orange in color. I love orange colored cannabis strains for sheer bag-appeal alone.

I suppose I was expecting a lot more when medical cannabis was first legalized in my lake house state.

• Every one of us waited for years & many attempts at voting for the law on our election ballot until it was finally passed about several years ago.

I suppose that most cannabis users had the minimal expectation that they would at bare minimum be able to buy whole flower products prefer you’d get off the street from any random weed dealer. Instead, the conservative government here imposed unconstitutional restrictions on the medical cannabis market & stripped it down to only cannabis tinctures, capsules, vaporizer cartridges, & oil syringes. You couldn’t buy whole cannabis flower products until 2018, & that was after a back & forth legal battle with the governor & his unhinged attorney general. It took us electing a new governor for the government to ditch the ban on smokable cannabis flower products, which still frustrates me to this day. That’s after having access to whole flower products for the past four years straight now. But there are other products available nowadays that I’m growing decreasingly impressed by what we’re able to purchase as medical cannabis patients in this state. I used to love marijuana oil pens until I got sick of paying high prices for cheap THC distillate oil thrown into cartridges with some botanical terpenes for flavor. When I heard that full spectrum, solventless rosin cartridges would be available for marijuana oil pens, I was amazed. I have dabbed rosin before & love the rich terpenes that it contains. Rosin is extracted with heat & pressure so there are no dangerous solvents used in its manufacturing process.

I can’t imagine how it must have felt residing through alcohol prohibition if you were an adult-aged woman who relied on liquor as your enjoyable intoxicant after a long plus stressful day of working. Instead of getting rid of liquor, prohibition simply made it harder to produce safely plus led to various people drinking tainted bootleg whiskey plus other alcoholic drinks. When it ended in 1933, I can only begin to imagine how it could have felt knowing that the madness was at last going to cease. I don’t even drink alcohol myself despite the fact that I can agree with anyone else that alcohol prohibition was a failed experiment that accomplished a lot more harm than it did good. This is the aggravating crossroads we’ve been at for decades with the federal status of marijuana. Despite the fact that you can buy cannabis in more states than you can’t at this moment, it still remains illegal at the federal level. I encouraged the advent of recreational marijuana in our beach house state because I felt prefer all of us had limited chances with our medical cannabis industry. I thought that legalizing recreational cannabis in our state would bring about positive changes, but so far all it has done is decrease the supply plus increase the prices… The people I was with and I need more dispensaries plus more states with dispensaries to offset this demand. People moved to this state for the sole purpose of obtaining marijuana legally, but now I have to compete with them to obtain the same marijuana products that I was getting a year prior. I know that more people have access now, despite the fact that I just wish the supply would increase plus the prices would drop.

Now that so various products plus services are going up in price with the rising inflation rate, I’m feeling the effects.

My income has budged in years plus it’s difficult trying to budget for essentials that are now up to 10-25% higher in price than they were numerous years ago.

The delivery services for restaurants plus grocery stores are more high-priced as well, especially with the base delivery fees. I’ll never forget how irritated I was when pizza delivery services started adding $2 delivery fees to every order in the mid 2000s when gas prices started to skyrocket. Now those same pizza delivery services are charging up to $4 on top of every single order you make, plus that doesn’t cover the tip for the driver. This gives me a little bit of perspective when I consider the cost of deliveries from the cannabis delivery services in our state. Most of them charge $10 or $15 for every single order you make. Other cannabis dispensaries will provide you free delivery if you meet a minimum order threshold of $200. I don’t know about other people, despite the fact that I don’t make enough currency to drop $200 every single time I go to the cannabis dispensary. That’s a lot of currency! Even if I ever spend that much in a month on cannabis, I don’t prefer to spend it all at once or at a single single cannabis dispensary. Some dispensaries have better marijuana edibles while others are known for their cannabis flower products. There’s a single successful cannabis dispensary in our state that offers free statewide delivery on all orders, but you periodically have to wait a week to get your products. I just order ahead of time plus method it out so I don’t ever run out of marijuana before our next order arrives via delivery.

I assume I was expecting a lot more when medical cannabis was first legalized in our beach house state.

The people I was with and I waited for years plus numerous attempts at voting for the law on our election ballot until it was finally passed about six years ago. I assume that most cannabis users had the minimal expectation that they would at bare minimum be able to buy whole flower products prefer you’d get off the street from any random weed dealer.
