All I know is that $90 is a lot for non-photo ID.
I also know that 3/5 of my patients that sent in their paper work in NOVEMBER, have yet to recieve their cards.

If 300 are sent out daily, and 1,000 come in daily, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that some people will NOT get their card until it has been legalized. Then what did you pay the money for?
Feeling a little safer at night. Keyword little.

The clock starts ticking on your $90 the day they print your card. The law, which nobody has ever ever actually read, says that they have 35 days to verify your application or turn you down. If they do not, you are assumed good.

So what is wrong with getting 16, 18, 20 months for a 1 year $90 fee?

The state is the one losing out on revenue in the sense that they should be getting $90 per year, not $90 per year and a half. IMHO. -CR

i have found that chemical nutes are easier to flush out than organic nutes

BUT

i have always found organic buds to taste much better. I am eating a bowl of organic cereal, with organic strawberries and bananas...and I will definitely tell you that organic fruit tastes MUCH sweeter and more complex than conventional grown fruit.

Same goes for cannabis. BUT, you can certainly have great tasting conventional buds if grown right

Agreed.
Except that it puts the patients in a precarious situation when confronted by LEO.
B/c LEO loves intimidation, so they tell them their interpretation, which isn't the truth.
Therefore, legal patients are still subject to intimidation and harrassment by LEO.

That is all.
It would be worth the extra $45 to my patients to be free from that shit.

Also I have heard they are no longer dating the rec's based on the day they print them, they are dating them now from the date they are approved.

On another note, does anyone here use bic or other disposable lighters to smoke bowls/bongs?

I got a nice torch yesterday and every hit tastes 10000000% better. Bic lighters taste like dumping an ashtray in your mouth.

Yeah butane can mess up yer whole afternoon. I get cedar matches from the cigar store -- somewhat overkill for a smallish bowl but it tastes SO much better.

 

[Cannoiseur]

I'm sorry guys but I can't help but feel that the difference in taste there is mainly placebo. You WANT it to taste better so it does, I mean, more power to you for sure, but I doubt a higher priced lighter tastes better than a cheaper one. Butane burns to CO2 and H2O in a 100% efficiency reaction. Granted I doubt we're hitting 100% efficiency or even 80% at this altitude, but it can't really be that bad can it?



Then again, I'm saying all this as someone who's never actually used an expensive lighter so who knows....

 

[MacGyver420]

havent tried the torch lighters but my friend from Hawaii gave me this stuff called "b-line" - its a thin hemp rope soaked in beeswax; burns slow and theres no noticable flavor

u just light the end then burn down whateever it is your smokin and thats it, pretty cool but not my cup of tea -- ive seen a knock off b-line around town at some dispensaries and headshops

i mostly smoke joints though so i do use bics to just light the end and then im on my way

 

[Cannoiseur]

Oh yeah, I got some of that as a free sample at the cannabis convention a couple weeks ago. Works alright, but once again... tastes basically the same to me

That's always a possibility when dealing with something as subjective as taste. I'm actually inclined to think that some of these cheap convenience store lighters leak butane prior to spark. Since butane is heavier than air, it precedes the smoke into the bowl, hence the taste. The better torch lighters appear to regulate a little better and people also tend to light them further away from the bowl so as to avoid blasting bud fragments everywhere before they have a chance to draw ...

I have the Bee-Line stuff too. But for me I can notice a HUGE difference in taste.

Try hitting a CLEAN piece with the bee-line, then take a hit with a lighter. You will clearly taste the butane and sometimes I even get a mild headache because of the butane.

Even if you start a bowl with a lighter and finish it off with the wick, the butane has already tainted the bowl and I can notice the taste.

Personally I love the stuff and will never go back to lighting bowls, joints, etc. with a lighter if I can help it.

Just wanted to say: my non-flushed organics burn pure white every time...of course, I do a good cure on them and I know that helps out a ton. And no, it's not a fluke, I'm on my 4th harvest and they still burn pure white.

Good to hear, thats how I like my herbs to burn!

i wanna switch it up from bics to...more info on that torch?

 

[Tripsick]

My bee line stuff is still wrapped around my lighter... i dont like the way it smells after burning it. and it burns faster than i would like.

Do a search on eBay for Ronson Jetlite or Jet lite -- pocket wind proof torch, 1 year warranty (probably not) refillable too! - get a dozen delivered for under $50 - with any luck a lifetime supply! - till yer buddies see it and find out you have spares.

At 1500 deg. - It will melt a screen in a heartbeat if you put the flame straight to it - it will lite a bowl from a couple inches away from the flame.

You can buy singles for about $10.

Ronson, really? I've always been told that Ronson is on the dirty butane list and to avoid it.

 

[RockyMountainHi]

That's the ones Trip----

Ronson, really? I've always been told that Ronson is on the dirty butane list and to avoid it.

If I ever try to make BHO with one, I'll remember that, but the lighters are fine. And Yes4prop215 was looking for a torch lighter

Most of the torches I see are either commercial tool pieces or exceedingly cheap POS that lasts about a week...

I have a couple weeks on one and so far, so good.

The torch probably won't make a difference, but the fluid will.
