Pax 2 is my main device, but I keep a pre-loaded oil pen around around for going out, or when I'm super lazy

If you're a casual user of marijuana, its a game changer. Similar to a glass of wine or a beer. Completely discreet. Everyone is using them. Like, everyone. |

Yesterday found some weed growing in my flower bed. I asked the kids ..WTF. They didn't believe me and came out with their smart phones to verify it was indeed weed.
One of my daughters friends is a pot head. I joked that she planted the stuff. I grabbed a leaf and chewed on it. Then told the kids about the Jim Stafford song. It tasted like a mint leaf?? I am sure it is a VERY exotic strain. |

For those in the business, what is it like for the growers? Regulations, licenses, etc?

It's my understanding that dispensaries are having to buy from unauthorized grows in order to keep up with demand. Just what I heard while I was there. |

Everything is tracked from seed to sale. Every iota of waste, trim, and bud. Every MIP (kitchen) tracks every infintesimal amount of product and thc. Every bud used to make recreational anything has to go through the kind of testing never seen in agriculture. There is literally more crap on one strawberry than is allowed in our whole harvest. Medical begins testing in July. You can't buy from unauthorized grows. The lie would fall apart at the first step.
Dispensary owners are rich-y, yes. But its a hard fought for rich. Between the health department, the MED, and the entire banking institution, and the fact that if you get robbed your insurance covers nothing, you really have to put in a day. People in charge of compliance make the most in dispensaries. Pay your managers well so the doors stay open. Budtenders make anywhere from $14-$20 an hour. Growers have it good. They have their own loops and regulations but their problems are going to be quality problems or contamination problems. Both easily avoidable with a grower worth his chops. Trimming is often done by subcontracting it out. Growers are happiest. Testing - there are only 4 testing facilities equipped to test marijuana in Colorado. Its a necessary, expensive evil that we have long waiting lists for. I would imagine the people that own the testing facilities are even happier than the growers. But I haven't technically met one yet so I stand with the growers are the happiest. |

We have boutique kind of stores where you can pick your buds and chat with charming girls like me. We have stores that hand you an Ipad and your shopping is very robotic but efficient. There are very touristy stores which are fun for celebrity endorsements. We even have a store owned by a mayor's wife who also owns the strip club next door. Edibles? Flower? Concentrates? Bootie shorts? Make sure you leaf through the back 10 pages of this too. The physical copies can be found everywhere, but most recognizably at Chipotle. http://flipbook.westword.com/2016/06-09-2016/index.html |
