We still have the coverings here and I wonder what purpose they serve. We do have a big scary security guard that cards everybody though. When I asked him about what he did on vacation he seemed genuinely happy that someone engaged him.

   

I've never seen a guard in a cannabis store. The stores are usually bright and friendly, but you just can't see in from the outside. I assume the one way glass is so that the elderly people can't see anything before they go in. Because that is usually who I see in their stores, babas in the 70s and 80s.

   

Alberta cannabis sales slow to grow as online identity verification deters consumers, say retailers


I found the government online portal very convenient. I could log on with MADI, and they would ship it to my mailbox or a courier pick up location.

Now, I have no trust in these private companies to respect my privacy. I'd rather just go in to a store, but I never know what they have. Even at the government store, I rarely bought the same product twice, because many I only ever saw once.

   

Marijuana use is outpacing cigarette use for the first time on record

   

Liberal government launches review of Cannabis Act – a year late

   

70%? I find that hard to believe.

Also take into consideration that anyone can grow their own legally. Not a difficult thing to do. It's just a plant...

   

You can't grow it if you rent in most places and never mind condos.

   

I can understand it if you rent if that includes not being allowed to have any houseplants at all. Obviously, growing it indoors comes with many more risks but outdoors... what's the big deal? As long as you don't have more than a couple for personal use only and not a mass production going and that it's not bothering anyone.

I live in a condo (I own) and there has been nothing at all specified as to what types of plants or flowers you might have growing on your deck.

A funny thing... a few years ago the previous strata president put forth at the AGM expanding a smoking ban from not just a ban on common property (which is totally reasonable) but to extend it to not even within your own unit at all. It was shot down by a big margin. I somehow doubt that there are that many cigarette smokers in my complex but other types of smokers... The issue has not been revived since.

   

It's actually not as easy as you'd think.

The biggest problem I've had is never getting the same seed variety twice from government stores. That makes it difficult to learn the needs of the plant to maximize yield. And I grow both indoor and outdoor, so that changes things too.

   

I started growing in 1971... all legal, of course.

   

Biden's blanket pot pardon plan is better than Canada's approach, experts say

   

Marijuana was illegal four years ago. Now, Uber Eats delivers it in Toronto

   

What is a good wake and bake strain? I have been using indicas for years now to sleep. I want to try something that does not put me to sleep on my day off. Something that puts me in a good mood without scrambling my brain. I want to be able to function and get stuff done. I get nothing done but sleep with what I am now using, so it is serving its purpose. Good mood, laughter, able to function and no paranoia is what I am looking for. Does it exist?

   

I think smoking is the wrong thing if you want a simple mellow buzz. I grow a BC Kush in the summer (heavy Indica strain), and infuse what I grow into butter. I freeze the butter and use the extremely green butter to make cookies over the winter. I put 1/4 of the butter in the recipe as cannabutter, 3/4 regular butter.

Half a cookie gives me a 6 hour long, slow burn buzz. I play video games, do some woodworking, watch a movie. High functioning stuff, pardon the pun. Generally smiling the whole time. And the weekend seems like it lasts a week.

Perhaps use a vaporizer when you need to sleep, but use edibles when you just want to slow down and enjoy the world? I saw a show on Netflix(?) about the cannabis industry, and there was some sort of candy 'puck' that was chopped into 32 pieces that I really want to try, but it's only available in the Pacific North West. Supposed to be exactly what we are looking for.

But I can't get that here, or even bring one here, under the current rules.

   

Edibles also keep you nice and relaxed for a couple of days afterwards too, or so I've heard.
