How an uneasy legislative détente has created a smokin' medical marijuana industry in Colorado



Running a successful, growing business makes Boulder's Jill Leigh a busy woman. While talking to a reporter in her ashen-blue office one summer afternoon, an employee comes in and hands her a thick stack of mail, saying there are two more boxes where that came from. Leigh opens a few envelopes as the interview continues. Later, two other employees enter her office seeking her expert opinion.
"Jill, what do you think this is?" asks one employee, holding a fragrant, fist-sized nugget of marijuana. The grower had named it as one strain, but the employees suspected otherwise.
"I think [the grower] got a Haze clone that was mislabeled," one of the men says. Leigh inspects it for a moment and then agrees.
"I think it's probably Haze," she says. "Let's bottle it as that and sell the product for $400."
The employees exit and Leigh turns: "I hate calling it product. I never know what to call it. I don't like calling it medicine because it's not Western medicine."

ive been growing/smoking/whatever pot for years and years and years and years.

I can give you some of my strawberry cough, wait 3 months, give it too you again without a nice flush and you cant even tell its the same strain.

If you think you can tell what something is by looking/smelling you are nucking futs

yeah you can't tell if its improperly grown and all chemed out, but properly grown, haze has a distinct smell, as does NYCD, Strawberry Cough, etc.

Lets draw a Zero on this Five and call it Fifty.

I would prefer unknown strain on the label as such.. then again if its good shit its good shit

I remember once when a friend and I where short on a little cash. so we gathered up some hash, about a z.

We into a SF, went to a club to vend it and get some cash....when in told them we got some Trainwreck hash we just made.

The owner behind the counter grabs the hash...looks at it and smells it and says "Yep its trainwreck, real nice"

It was actually some GDP, Silver Haze, and a fake OGK trim all mixed together.

Anpother story

My same friend went down to SD once and sold some primo Jack Flash. As soon as the dispensary owner said he wanted it he said "Package it up and call it Jack Flash Kush"

Hey Ms Weekend, Ive seen hash go for 17/g for hash that was more kief(y) then melty.
The highest ive gotten was 30/g on 8z of fm jack flash that was made from the trim and popcorn buds from the story above. This was in SD about 2 years ago

I don't understand the intention of the OP's post.

It seems like some random statement that I'm not even sure what he/she is implying.

(And yes, I had to look up détente).

If his intention was to point out that this is what happens in the biz, isn't that something so obvious that needs no mentioning?

Are you telling me that there are really people out there who believe ANYTHING a dispensary or hydro shop says.

Guess that's what you get in the wild wild west with no regulation.

They should just name every strain Caveat Emptor (Kush).
