At last. I waited for California to legalize recreational cannabis since I first moved here in 1973, so that's 45 yrs...

Hallelujah!

Here's to all the activists who got us here!!!

Skipper can ya smoke a fatty for the uk collective please and put out some legal smoke on our draconian cannabis law

I walked into a "legal" dispensary today- and they wanted to scan my drivers license and put my name into a computer system- I declined and left. I won't be participating. How come they didn't mention that when they told everyone how great prop 64 was? I don't need to get my name added to a system to buy a case of beer...

Everyone in cali gets to grow 4 plants, maybe they come here to learn how?

Maybe the people who scored the licenses will?
Berkeley Patients still got those legal $60 1/8's, Yo and some outdoor zips for $105 too.
Must be where all them $400 units ended up.

Check out the new packaging that legalized weed will give us, cat food jars.
the catfood brand was $35 an 1/8th.


these were $55


This is what the beginnings of big canna look like and when Monsanto buys it up it will be called Gavita, and Marley Natural or something similar.

When your head stops spinning in a few years it will be over and they will be building new prisons for all the black market busts that don't have prop 215 to hide behind.

Weed growers be praying Sessions comes and stops this quick while you can still get paid for smuggling.

Joesey's trademark must have scared these guys good, they re-branded their $60 1/8ths as Super Glue!
better be super for those prices!


the $105 zips of 22% Pineapple kush look pretty good for that ticket.
get it while the state is still allowing unregistered product to enter the stores.

Happy for the idea...
Abhor the execution!

Cali had it way better as a purely med state!

If you're in California and you're happy, I'm happy for you,
but legalization I'm seeing happen is nothing like what I imagined happening when I dreamed of it in the 70's...

I can almost see the day coming when they find your weed growing, they don't bust you for weed.
They bust you for tax evasion, and put the IRS on your ass..

The IRS can ruin your life far worse than the DEA can... and they will.

First, I think LEO is going to be very busy monitoring compliance in licensed shops (although other agencies are supposed to do that). Yes, they may still get some Green Harvest money from the feds if there are still illegal grows in the forests.

I predict the black market will still exist because so many places are banning dispensaries and outdoor grows completely. (I don't think they can ban indoor grows if you own your own house, but they might need to comply with regulations)

So don't expect the black market to disappear completely in Cali like it did in Colorado (supposedly). Already, I see prices going up due to the new taxes and regulations. So long as ppl can undercut the legal mkt with quality it will thrive here, and perhaps even GROW, as new cannabis consumers realize they can't afford the habit legally. So the options are grow it yourself or purchase from your local grower/dealer for as much as 50% less (taxes are estimated to add 35% to the retail price).

Also realize that these laws are always subject to change as time goes on.

Legalization was never going to be treating cannabis like any other plant, where you could just do whatever you want with it.

This is the price we all pay for clean, regulated, safe, legal weed.

But if you don't care about any of that, then there is the unregulated, unsafe, chemical and toxin infused pot that dominates the black market.

Not saying there aren't very conscious growers out there (and on IC!), but I've seen and experienced for so many years marginal weed that I'd rather not have smoked. And some of it came from dispensaries!

Thankfully all the competition (once it catches up with demand), will weed out the bad actors and those who don't have their shit together.

I'm just happy to know that I don't need to renew my medical recommendation anymore and just the act of possessing cannabis no longer makes me a criminal in the eyes of the law.

I don’t believe that any recreational dispensary’s have been licensed in the City of Los Angeles.

I’m medical, but I’m interested in recreational sales.

If anyone knows more please fill me in.
