Those prices are clearly unsustainable. Supply will catch up with demand.

Sounds cheap, the street price of an oz is $750 over here.
Just wanted to stop by to congratulate Co for going forward with this expirement. Now hopefully we see it spreading state by state, one by one.

depends on how long we can keep idiots like Dr. Keith Ablow from spouting rumors and obvious myths about how Marijuana is going to run America. There is a short spot on high times about this nut.
Lets nuts is better I say.
Lets nuts is better I say.
This has been my attitude for the last few years. We do lots of weekend trips, to other parts of CO…That or visiting CA, since my sister lives in SF. Aside from the occasional trip to VA to see my parents, (my family usually all meets in either CO or CA, where one of us has a med card), I very rarely go anywhere that criminalizes cannabis.
…And TBH, I really don’t have much desire to travel anywhere that still criminalizes cannabis either. Why put everything at risk by traveling to some place that doesn’t want me, when I can support an economy where they see the value of cannabis? There are some really great places on that list now and although there will be the infrequent exception, (there are still loads of places I’d love to see: Italy, Greece, France, I could go on), but at least right now, our/my health and safety takes precedence.
…Besides, the options are growing everyday!
And I have complete confidence that someday soon the places that still criminalize cannabis, will be the exceptions.

It was just an observation. Never tried Diesel, which was why I bought the stuff. Avi confirms what I suspected, that it was poorly grown somehow.

I suppose refusing to spend tourist dollars in non legal states might make a difference after the dumb bastards finally "get" what is happening...20 years or so...
While I see your point BrnCow, it’s not just being selective of where we spend money…
it’s largely about negating risk, avoiding travel to those places that view cannabis as cause to put people in a cages.
…It’s not as if I'm expecting anyone to notice my teeny economic contribution, or lack there of.
And I don’t see any of this taking 20 years…I bet we’ll all be free to travel anywhere in the U.S. and most other reasonable parts of the world, without fear, by 2025…
Cannabis will be as common as aspirin and one’s place of residence will have nothing to do with what medicines your doctor is able to prescribe.

That's all about the no flush, nasty ish left over from early choppin.
Agreed. I might not have come back to cannabis much at all if it weren't for A64 & my unwillingness to play the med card game. I sure as hell wouldn't grow it if it weren't for that.
I realize that puts me in a slightly different category than many members, for sure. Things changed a lot in the 25 years I was away. I don't have to live the life that nearly killed me back then to have cannabis today. At the time, cannabis had become scarce while cocaine had become plentiful, and well, I lived at the bar, so there it is.
Home growers who otherwise wouldn't do it are what will anchor legalization in Colorado. Whatever else might happen, State authorities are powerless to prevent it. I don't see the feds going after any Colorado legal home growers, either. Once we move a little further ahead, once cannabis use is seen as completely normal & no big deal, then we can work on growing outdoors, too.
The soil in our small garden is a nice sandy loam, and we've been beefing it up for 20 years. I suspect we could grow some real monsters. I'd love to do it, right here near the heart of the city.

I was more wondering what they might have used on it during the grow.
My 30-day, full nute, early-chop just tastes a bit chemmy but I've never had a 'metallic' taste from not flushing/fading.
I should be more specific. A lot more often than I usually am.

RE: metallic taste
RE: metallic taste
IME, paclo pGR gave odd smells and flavors, sometimes metallicy....
then again to someone trying diesel for the first time the metallic taste may just be a description rather than a flaw.... anyhoo... nevermind me.

Dunno about any of that. I do know that 70 day organic soil specimens taste loverly when properly dried & cured. Same for some 70 day autoflowers, too.
I don't plan on much retail buying, at all, but I had to be part of it. It needs to be there for cannabis to be integrated into mainstream life, even if it is taxed as Sin. It's part of winning, of tokers gaining the respect deserved.
Quite how the market will shake out, I really don't know, but I think it's a mistake to make too many predictions yet. I think that the vertical integration model needs to go away, leading to product branding & selection on that basis. As it is, selection occurs too often on the basis of convenient location.
That's particularly true during this rollout. I suspect that grower/ retailers will have to up their game to remain competitive once the hubbub is over.
If you sell me beasters a couple of times & the guy a short hop away doesn't, I won't be back to your place. That's particularly true when there isn't a line out the door.
OTOH, with branded products sold like beer or tobacco, I could get the kind I want anywhere in Colorado, like Budweiser. Retailers who choose to grow & sell their own would probably need to have something special to even bother.
I think the big money guys intend to sell their own product in their shops, for sure, but the real prize is a sizable chunk of what everybody else is selling, too. Therefore, they've invested heavily in greenhouses & warehouse setups so they can grow enormous amounts of herb, harvest it, process it into whatever sells to the other retailers & ultimately customers- Brand name products with reliable taste, smell, & effect. They'll be poised to go national when the time comes.

"it’s largely about negating risk, avoiding travel to those places that view cannabis as cause to put people in a cages." Excellent point natty.
One wouldn't want to show up on holiday in Dubai with a half gram of your cousin's hash stuck to your shoe!
I like the staycations cause your not chasing a schedule. Plus Denver is still small enough that everything is within 30 minutes and is so up to date that we even have wine in cans! lol
Jhhnn, the hemp revolution will make the recreational scene look like small potatoes, IMO.
