@john_fowler_jd I agree, the added hormones and antibiotics aren’t worth it. Now if all that is changed with RFK, lower or end the tariffs. Many aren’t even aware the differences and people should know. Make the world healthy again!

The dairy tariff conversation is interesting because (a) they’re part of an agreement trump signed and (b) the high tariffs are rarely triggered…also (c) US dairy is a lower quality to what we have in Canada so we shouldn’t take it at all, at any price.

@_deepakanand The neat thing about many US states is that they offer medical pricing at stores. Wish we offered that in Canada. At least our pricing is fairly decent compared to our southern neighbours and sometimes cheaper than medical for the same product :/

@LakeCityCanna I’m not involved in the cannabis industry and even I see this as a problem. I call it out every time I hear a cannabis store getting robbed in #Ontario - we had 3 robberies in the small town I live in of 24k people a few months ago. We have 4 stores in town

Ontario retailers. You have a legal responsibility to protect and provide a safe workplace. Take down your coverings Install door management controls Have staff start using the back office as a screening area before entering the showroom floor.

@stonerdad I’ve seen this on various medical websites over the years unfortunately. Gotta check prices before you buy. Retail is cheaper sometimes. Gotta love HiBuddy.ca - just wish it worked across the country for all!

Wanna know what it's like to be a medical cannabis patient in Canada? On the left, rec prices and on the right, medical.

@Goat_Supplies Totally understandable. That’s why I had to unfollow a bunch of accounts cause I never saw the people who interacted with me anymore. Partly why I’m never on here too. This platform isn’t as great as it used to be, many have left too 😢 Hopefully things turn around

@TheGuyFromWpg @MendoMedical @RubiconOrganics 1964 has never disappointed me so far. Glad this was another good one. Great write up 👏🏼 👏🏼

Today I’m looking at the 1964 branded LA Kush Cake flower from Rubicon. This was bought from Mendo. This is a balanced hybrid cross of Wedding Cake and Kush Mints. My quarter was made up of exactly 7 buds, all looking so similar, it was tough to pick one to photograph.

@tomangell Once Texas legalizes, the rest of the country will follow who hasn’t yet. Been saying that for years. The states who haven’t legalized are losing tons of revenue and job opportunities for their citizens. They have many examples to look at and see what failed and works by now.

BOOM: A new poll shows that 62 percent of Texans support legalizing marijuana—including majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independents. marijuanamoment.net/bipartisan-maj…

@troytime420 I’ve had some really harsh stuff that was grey and many assume it’s the best shade. That being said, if it’s really dark, it may not smoke the greatest. As someone who vapes mostly, doesn’t bother me 🙂

It's 2025 and people believe in ash color more than ever.

@donfazool Good so far, aside from my legs on fire from all the walking I’m doing haha 🤣

@donfazool Seeing them everywhere here in Aruba, bet many on my flight home will be doing it too. Yay winter travellers! Hope you had a good time in SXM 💚

Lady next to me was hacking up a lung the whole flight back from Sint Maarten. Sure enough the connecting flight back home has another one. Goddamn idiots.

Hard to believe, but I actually have four flower reviews coming up in the next couple of weeks. Really looking forward to trying the new Pink Kush from Woody Nelson. 😋 Of course I also have a couple of new hash products to write about too. Evidently, I really like hash. 😂
