Legal Weed - Same Shit As What Your Dealer Told You

Right about now I'd gladly take some good dirt brown Colombian at 4% THC and $20 an Oz. That would suit my head and buzz just fine. 

Although it's been legal in VT for 4-5 years, rec sales finally started on 10/1. The rollout of licenses has been slow, but last Friday a shop opened 10 miles away so we checked it out. Prices are 35-40 an 1/8, not including 21% tax.

There's a 30% limit here, which is weird. I was really surprised at how many strains were 10-15%. My SO picked up some 10% stuff that looks and smells great, but seems really weak.

20% is a starting point...

however i'd like to see some independently audited "tested" product..

Anything in the high 30s or over 40 is bullshit.  I've seen enough times where cultivators and lab personnel are far too chummy. And i worked in commercial chemical labs for 18 years. I've seen weed results that made me laugh and scratch my head.  Even Steep Hill, a national chain of analytical labs, gave me utterly ridiculous results twice in a row for the exact same sample ( did it as a test and glad i did).  

Here's the bottom line: if you are not growing your own, then get to know a good grower you can trust ( a good grower with nothing to hide will let you see their grow op) and only buy from them.

I Was Getting Way Better Weed 6 or 7 years ago than i do now Sadly some connects dried up ~ lately i am into wyld gummies  Getting GOOD Bud is hard for me at this time.

Feel Free to help me Out hint hint

whats the best way to get homegrown tested for percentage? 

PLF ask your buddy Mikey to hook you up! He lives right down the road. If he doesn't he's not your buddy.

Hey Doolittle  - since you love signing up other people to give away goods & services, you're a fkn loser if you send $50 to everyone on this board...truth be known, the $50 matters not.

^...if you DONT send...anyway, regardless. LOL

I got a 27% sativa eighth for $17.50 for my wake and bake. 

Thanks, StrawBud, but your efforts are in vain. Do-little won't change; creeper's gonna creep. It's the only game he's got.

its very very common knowledge in the cannabis industry that tests are unreliable. there are tons of variables, tests by different labs on the same flower often come out very different, and its pretty well known that many labs are inflating their results in a bid for return customers. in many cases a growers profits depend on that number - if one lab gives back consistently higher numbers, of course the grower will want to work with them.

and on top of that, thc percentage is often a poor indicator of potency and quality of the high. there are plenty of buds in the low 20% range that will get you stoned as fuck and plenty of buds in the high 20's to 30% range that really isnt all that remarkable and produces a pretty mild and boring high - this is especially noticeable for daily smokers.

unless it can be proven that the company in question knowingly inflated the test results for packaging marketing, i dont really think its fair to pin the blame or consequences on them - what about the lab that ran the initial tests for the company? all that history is logged and easily available on METRC. most cannabis manufacturers and growers just send their product out to a state certified lab, get the results, and put it on the packaging, and thats about all that is reasonable to expect of them. the state of CA gave their approval to a testing lab - if that testing lab is returning bad results, lets look at the lab, not the grower or manufacturer just trying to follow the rules and putting trust into the labs that the state of CA told us to put trust into. this is likely a problem with unreliable testing labs and lack of any meaningful oversight of testing labs by the state of CA, but will obviously be another chance for the media to demonize people who grow and sell cannabis as some kind of unscrupulous drug pusher from an 80s cop drama.

Thanks, daylight.
