Wife has some nice plants growing in the yard, but it looks like there are little white flies on them that soapy water won't get rid of. Suggestions?

[WTF is dat]

Hello I just moved to broadway and Evans in Denver. There is a absolute fuckton of dispensaries. I am actually overwhelmed. Which ones are worth my time? Pink house?

Spinosad is what you want (the active ingredient in Monterey Garden Spray), and can be found in a number of different sprays, such as Green Light & MGS.

It is considered a "natural" pesticide, but a lot of hardcore organic types won't use it. I pre-treat all my plants in veg, and then retreat with Azamax. I never have pest issues. Preventative treatments are the key.

Chances are those white flies are thrips.

Yeah, spinosad is the active ingredient. IME monterey was the best. Not to say others won't work, but you can get monterey at home depot, which is a plus. Keeping a clean garden is the most important aspect of pest prevention. IMO.

This is why the California model will never work. Non-profit... What a fucking joke. When a plant sells for 10-12k a pound retail, there has to be profit.

The only reason a plant has ever sold for that much is because of it's illegality. The fact that "providers" sell it legally for the same price as on the black market is the joke. There is no reason it needs to cost that much if it is being grown legally, but providers are acting like racketeers, or like the pharmaceutical industry, which is about the same thing.

While I'm glad that people who actually need it have some limited access (limited largely by the avarice of providers), I am disgusted with the gold digger attitude that I've seen from providers, with the dishonesty of many of those who apply for, and are prescribed green cards, and have come to understand why some are so adamantly opposed to legalization for medical use.

I am only interested in full legalization, the medicinal use only farce is doing more damage that it's worth.

hopefully they won't legalize ganja, it's more important that 6 year olds can have Oxycontins...

I might do it wrong, but I wait to fill two 18 ounce tupperwares with spent then put all of the spent with eight sticks of butter in my Crock on low for 8-10 hours. After it's done I take cheese cloth and drain the butter into a bowl, squeezing the fuck out of it to get all the last butter I can.

I give it to a friend who says it does the trick because my wife refuses to cook with it now that we're trying to bring a little MotherFucker along. Before then, I'd just use it for baked goods. It was fairly strong on CBD and didn't cause a change in taste of whatever I used it for.

I actually really enjoyed the flavor as a tobacco chew substitute. Pack a dip of vaporizer leftovers. Chew it up occasionally, pack it back in. NICE.

[buttahflake]

never was much for a dip, dbs. thanks anyway.
i want easy vapo, buttah. thanks MF.
anyone else?

^ Vape jong Q, aren't the "scraps" from a vaporizer "vaped" and therefore void of THC?

[Poop~Ghost]

Question: A regular argument I hear in the legalization debate is "... just make it legal and tax the hell out of it and the guberment makes a shit ton of money."

Personally, I think NO. Why should the government that wasted a metric shit ton of money fighting weed growers and users suddenly get a massive wind-fall? No. They shouldn't tax it any more or less than they tax milk, corn or coca-cola.

I get that it's a way to "sell" the idea of legalization to money hungry states - but I think it's a silly place to start.

Perhaps I'm wrong or I'm missing something a bit more nuanced to this argument.

There's still a good deal of THC and other cannabinoids left, depending on how hot you set your vape. A good friend of mine always quoted 25% of the active compounds being left in the bud, and given that he's an old hippie living in the mountains I always deferred to him for info. I believe the leftovers are higher in CBD, could be wrong

One reason for the higher taxes argument is to fund drug education and rehab programs. Our goal should be to reduce use by children and abuse by all people. Tax revenue from legalization should be used for this purpose. IMO, of course.

I'm not sure that argument holds much water with me. If it was for weed rehab - which I am not sure there's a big line of weed addicts lined up for rehab - that's one thing. But lumping weed in with meth, booze or crack in terms of saying "Because weed's related to those hard drugs, we're going to tax it higher and support rehabs with those taxes".

Interesting topic though.

Basically, the argument is that the "war on drugs" works mostly by pushing up the price and thus reducing consumption. So you just set the tax such that the price remains 400 an ounce or whatever the national average is now. The quantity consumed remains unchanged. The difference is that Uncle Sam pockets 300+ an ounce in tax revenue. You can make this argument to someone who hates the demon weed without even having to convince them that weed is fine or that their concerns are overblown. If they want to make weed absurdly expensive in order to reduce consumption, we can do this in a way that has positive consequences (pay down the federal deficit, send every American income taxpayer a tax refund, build hospitals and schools, fund NIH research into cloning Jerry so that the Dead can tour again, whatever) rather than negative consequences (enriching Mexican drug cartels and encouraging street crime).

The tax-and-regulate model is also the proven approach that we use with tobacco and alcohol, so we know that it is effective and easy to implement.
