WEED, The Official Thread

and made me want to move like a sex machine.

Hilarious

My bad shroom, didn't realize you were talking about a legit operation. I'm just bitter because my new sack smokes harsh and tastes like fertilizer.

Not zero COGS, but a lot of costs are flat out non-deductible. A dispensary is currently suing the IRS because of it. I'll post a link or two in a bit once my morning clusterfuck clears.

little more... looks like 2008 is when they started being uber-dicks. They've since lost a case that means ancillary care COGS is deductible, but still not for actual MJ production (ex. Harborside's awesome patient care for free).

These guys are going through a lot of effort for a good cause, fighting the bullshit. Why would the IRS offer a penalty reduction to a "cartel owner"? Maybe because it's a usurious way to approach tax policy in the first place..

"the IRS made an offer of $100,000 to settle their tax case. But she said they decided to challenge the demand in court because they considered it a punitive tax against cannabis outlets that other businesses do not pay."

Thanks for posting that up.

classic-

The IRS has used the Reagan-era tax code, known as 280E, to seek tax penalties against numerous California dispensaries under the argument that their business expenses constitute support of drug-trafficking operations.

[Bobby Stainless]

Are the genetics known with any certainty? Was it flushed properly prior to harvest?

Pretty much the same with store bought. IMO.

SJ - did you get to Reagan Era in the book. That shit is blowing my mind.

potentially - at first glance yes. Like a coffee shop or brewery the product is only as good as the staff that produces and handles it. I've been very impressed with the quality at RMR in Steamboat and Golden Leaf too. The northglenn shop by the main highway north of Denver is so much less trustworthy from experience. I had to directly ask four times to see the full selection of o-pen cartridges (they had 20+ strains but lady was trying to sell me generic hybrid cartridges). In contrast, tenders at RMR or GL will explain the nuances that differentiate Maple Leaf from Cherry Slyder, two of their in house strains with very specific flavor profiles. I like reading the reviews on the Cannabist/DenPost because they call out shops for being honest about product and aren't afraid to call out frauds in the industry. Random edibles testing is a great example of the quality of their reporting.

Earl Blumenauer is awesome. He makes an excellent point about the plain lies and distortions being a) wrong and b) counterproductive. Go Earl

Not yet. I'm only getting in a few pages a night due to 4:20 and/or happy hour IPA. That book is amazing. The fact that we tested THC to be used as chemical warfare. 50sec mark -

[NoPostholio]

Ya, this thing is hard reading - like history/science book. I do about 4 pages at a clip myself.

I'm still working on the emerald mile, not sitting poolside has really hampered my reading. I think your going to dig the oil distribution system. Hitting it on a wet windy tour will be a breeze and the results are flawless. No flame, full days supply/cartridge, tiny power pak easily swapped for fresh. No more ducking behind a bush or hiding under a cornii just puff n go your way up the hill.

[DasBlunt]

Wow, I want one of those too. I am slow to change....

[jacqueline heatley]

not trying to cure just medicate.

Pharmaceuticals are drugs that cure illnesses and extend the length of life. Cannabis is a drug that improves the quality of life.

Ahh, the good old 90's

[glademaster]

Seems like a skunky breeze from the harvest blew across the GSL recently. Or maybe it's just the best lake stank ever.

[NoPostholio]

More late eighties, early 90's good times

[NoPostholio]

some don't need weed to deal. you dig?

Some don't get the charmed life la won - I'm sure a lot of the boys fighting in the 'stans all these years would have preferred to be clown biking. Now they have to try like the dude and abide -

i'm going to name a strain nancy.

Bobby has gone extremist

[stfu]

That's nothing. We've been trying to market an old strain with great genetics named Dog Shit. Ask me how that's going...

Very true.

My MMJ place in Bozeman got me hooked up on oil a few weeks back. I love it. Between edibles and oil, no more smoking for me.

Oxford names 'vape' 2014 Word of the Year

The Oxford Dictionaries named "vape" 2014's Word of the Year.

Oxford defines the verb as "to inhale and exhale the vapour produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device." It was added to the dictionary in August. Vape can also be used as a noun for the e-cigarette and for the act of inhaling itself.

"You are thirty times more likely to come across the word vape than you were two years ago, and usage has more than doubled in the past year," Oxford explained on the OxfordWords blog announcing the decision.

Runners up included:

Budtender: n. a person whose job is to serve customers in a cannabis dispensary or shop.

[PowerWhore7]

People still smoke joints?

Crumble or nothing around here

[Harry]

ju ju joints too google it.

I did google it. Are these different than the oil vape my MMJ dude sold me ? It is about the size of a cigar. Great battery life too, I charged it on Oct 30 and as of Nov 17 it is still going strong with daily use.

i easily qualify but haven't enrolled for a couple of reasons, but this is my hope -- all the benefits -- and i don't mean that flippantly -- and none of the toll on my lungs. i hope it happens soon.

[spook]

that and targeted strains with some relative control to address particular issues.
