"There's a pretty considerable amount of contaminated cannabis," said Jeff Raber ofThe Werc Shop, a Pasadena, Calif.-based lab that tests products primarily for California dispensaries."

Scott Dolan Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yep. They even sold stuff in Florida called Paraquat. It was essentially high powered skunk. *ahem* At least that's what others told me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeBop Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Since I don't smoke marijuana (or tobacco), I'm taking my pesticides "straight". Why do I feel like I'd be better off "cutting" them with pot or cigarette smoke? Edited May 25, 2013 by BeBop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtSalt Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 You can but marijuana here in the coffee shops, a wide variety and some ready rolled. My only recommendation - unless you want to instantly astrally project and have a Tangerine Dream album to hand - never, ever, smoke the White Widow variety.

Tim McG Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Back when I lived in East LA County, there was a DJ on KMET named Paraquat Kelly [formally, Machine Gun Kelly]. His name was a parody of the chemical spraying going on down in Mexico at the time [70s]. Legalize it, dammit.

Very little of what you buy on the street is grown indoors. Most of it comes up from Mexico, or from the tropics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:.impossible Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 With all due respect, who buys marijuana on the street? Most of what I have seen in the past twenty years living in NC was grown in NC; some of it outdoors, some of it indoors. I'm sure the shit we smoked in high school came from Mexico. Hell, it was probably grown a decade prior for that matter! I'm not a habitual smoker, but it is not hard to find freshly harvested semi-local, or local marijuana. I remember friends of friends making the cross-country trip to Oregon for harvests. They were the most popular kids in town for about three days!

Jazzmoose Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 And? And we don't buy pot "off the street"; we know growers who grow indoors. Even in California what I bought was grown in California. I haven't seen Mexican pot since the seventies. You really need better connections... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 You know, I've got to admit I always thought the idea of medical weed was a big con, though one I was willing to support.
