Found out I work basically 12-8est Thursday, Friday and Saturday the opening weekend of the NCAAT. Very cool very cool. Fat bowl of Sundae Driver followed by Orange Creamsicle.
Ahh diamonds. Went down a rabbit hole and thought this video was funny. If you ain’t choking’ you ain’t tokin’
just spent like two minutes looking for my phone as I listened to music mysteriously coming from some device in my pocket
Ripped two bowls of Cherry Cookies. Eating some spaghetti and meatballs watching the WCC as well. Best time of the year.
Got some from Arete on the way Also WNC because, yes Both ordered same time. No shipping from Arete yet. Yall weren't joking.
I just received their sample pack. Like 8 different, 3.5g samples for a buck fiddy. I swear by their quality, best thca I've ever tried, but they can take a while to process and ship your order.
Arete has some amazing flower. Their platinum pancakes is crazy good. WNC is good too. I’ve got a bunch of flower on the way and a few grams of concentrate.
I've got Hood Candy and Modified Grapes coming. The grape was supposedly 24% and fairly cheap for a zip since it's outdoor grown, I believe. Reviews seemed like a winner. Ugly looking but sticky and heady.
congrats on getting normal ass eddies, and not whatever unfortunate delta-8/9 stuff you normally have to deal with. Enjoy!
definitely reliable. they have their MGs dialed in. some of the smaller craft/artisan stuff you find in dispensaries can vary package to package, and piece to piece.
bro, it’s insulting that you assumed I fuck with that shit. I’ve got a bunch of Wyld’s at home right now, just adding to it when I can
Yuh huh. I'll snag them when I'm up in the U.P. They're good 'I've never done edibles before' edibles. Same with Wyld.
The cannabis industry really needs to figure out a way to cut back on the amount of single use plastics in their packaging process. It’s absurd.
great thing about Wyld's is that every dispensary has a WYLD WEDNESDAY special just because it rolls off the tongue. agree re: plastics, but they feel the need to seal them in childproof materials, so it isn't an easy fix. The 1906s I get come in a cardboard box. As do the Coda (and a lot of chocolate bars), but those also have a plastic tray in them
When Illinois went rec there was a tweet with two pics side by side One month supply black market: (a few sandwich bags) One month supply rec: (a shit ton of little plastic jars/containers)
Spoiler Waste packaging from a burgeoning and newly legalized marijuana industry litters streets across the country, adding to a global crisis of plastic waste. In New York, regulators who are making the state’s first-ever rules for the retail sale of recreational marijuana hope they have answers to limit their state’s contribution to the problem. They’ve been working to include sustainable packaging requirements into the licenses that businesses will need to open by the end of this year. However, at least one prominent environmental advocate fears New York—and other states grappling with a new and booming industry—aren’t requiring enough producer responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products. Judith Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a group working to end plastics waste, said the best time for a nascent industry to bake in sustainability principles is when it’s just getting established—and for legalized cannabis sales, she added, that means now. “When states approve recreational use of marijuana, they should create environmental standards for packaging, otherwise, we’re going to have this entire new universe of plastic waste of the worst kind,” said Enck, a former regional administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “It’s small, it’ll get littered on city streets, and very likely get washed into storm drains, and then into streams in the ocean,” said Enck, who got her start in environmental advocacy successfully lobbying for New York’s state’s 1982 Returnable Container Act, known as the bottle bill. “There are alternatives to plastics, but the companies selling the product will probably just go for the cheapest packaging they can find, which is plastic.” Marijuana in medical dispensaries or retail stores is sold in many forms, including cigarettes, oils, resins or as edible products like brownies, cookies or gummies. And plastic litter in the form of “doob tubes,” Mylar or other plastic sachets or pouches and spent cannabis oil vape cartridges made of plastic are already getting kicked to the curb in cities where marijuana sales are legal, environmental advocates and industry insiders said. It’s happening even in New York City, from already existing illegal retail outlets that follow no rules. An industry-wide discussion on pot and plastic is happening at a pivotal time. Earlier this year, 175 countries including the United States coalesced around an urgent need and began working toward a global United Nations treaty to curtail plastic waste. U.N. officials have described the global plastics problem as part of a “triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature loss and pollution.” The cannabis industry itself recognizes the problem, said Derek Thomas, a former marketing and advertising committee member of the National Cannabis Industry Association, and the chief growth officer of a company, AE Global, that sells packaging to the cannabis industry. “We work with a number of the largest, medium and smaller-sized growers and brands … around the country, and what is encouraging is the vast majority of them identify the huge waste issue within the cannabis industry,” Thomas said. “Everybody is looking for solutions that not only make us and the consumer feel better, but also have impact and integrity behind them.” Under New York’s proposed regulations, marijuana outlets will have up to two years to submit an environmental sustainability program for cannabis product packaging. Those plans may include strategies such as re-using sanitized containers, using non-plastic packaging, or using plastic packaging made with at least 25 percent post-consumer recycled content. “We are balancing all the goals,” Hunt said, adding that the packaging will still need to include required safety and consumer labeling while “not being attractive to individuals under 21.” It must also be designed to resist opening by children, she said. Those goals include protecting the public while having “the smallest environmental footprint possible,” she added. The proposed regulations were open for public comment earlier this summer and the agency is now reviewing the comments it received and expects to issue its first licenses for retail outlets by the end of this year, she said. ___ Less Plastic in California, Maybe California’s new Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, signed into law on June 30, could force the industry to rethink packaging in that state. But just how much change the law could bring to the industry remains uncertain. Other states with legalized marijuana are struggling with too much plastic packaging, and one reason is because state laws require more security than is needed for some retail products, said Amanda Reiman, chief knowledge officer with New Frontier Data. Non-plastic packaging like paper is available for safer products. But paper is harder to make child-resistant, a common requirement that often means more plastic for packaging, said Albert Moe, owner MM Green Packaging Solutions in Santa Cruz, California. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/27092022/marijuana-plastic-packaging/
