No problem Baked. As a Cali native, for more years than I will admit, I understand. When the government tries to run things it gets F'd up at the expense of the consumer. I have seen a lot of changes over the years.My apologies guys. I didn't want to bring bad vibes. I was stoned and I am still a little emotional about how many amazing farmers were lost back to the black market when the state went recreational. It makes me sad.
I was around in the 70s when THC content was under 4% and there was no choice in what you smoked. Bought bags by the finger. A 4 finger bag was about an ounce. I was there in the 80s when the US government sprayed Mexican cannabis fields with paraquat to try to kill the fields. The pot was still distributed in the US but with poison on it. I remember in the 90s when gunships went through northern Cal and destroyed a lot of the farmers fields and the livelihoods of many families. It was like watching the chopper scene of Apocalypse Now but in California. Although there are a lot bad/corrupt things about the legalization (greed), I do like being able to grow without fear of losing my house.
I was really stoned when writing this (and reminiscing) so I apologize ahead of time if I got carried away.
