Taking the manufacture and distribution to a totally different level. Away from organized criminal organizations, and directly to Suzie Homemaker... You must have excised the content here. I think so. My comment was directed at the notion that 350 dollar an ounce pot was not having an effect on the market... And it certainly is... Ahh. I missed that. Is that up or down? And what effect is it having? I do not endorse the use of any illegal substance, all of my information is based on hearsay, my own research over the internet, and other sources over the years who wish to remain anonymous. OK,...here we go... Well, back in 1976 an ounce was less than ten dollars. It would come over from Jamaica or Vietnam with traveling service men, and other world travelers, average Joes, it was still somewhat casual but beginning to go more main stream (move to the suburbs) from about 69 on. At that time there were two distinctive levels of quality available. Regular like I said, less than ten buck an ounce, and then the specialty stuff like Colombian Gold, and Panama Red which cold reach the amazing price of 40 dollars an ounce... Things really changed quickly in the 80's when criminal elements realized how much money was to be made on pot, and really decided to take over the business. One of the things they did right away was begin to develop domestic production by sending growers from California all over the country, north western Mass, and particularly to Canada where a lot of the production moved indoors. This all made for a much fresher and significantly more potent, hand tended product rather than the imported stuff which was often beat to **** and smelling of something foul by the time it gotpot to the US. Although the imported stuff was still available, by the mid 80's it was almost completely replaced by the domestic crop and the prices skyrocketed to an average 200 an ounce by the mid 80's ten times more than it had been just a decade earlier. The whole market swung back in the last couple decades for suburban consumers anyway. With the availability of technology, information on the net, genetically superior seeds in the mail with practically no possibility of discovery has turned the whole market right back where it started with random, unconnected (mostly non criminal except for the pot) producers all over the country. Distribution has gone back to the days of the local farmer, mostly serving local friends and family. Stronger and better (taste, smoothness, etc.) is being genetically developed all the time and some of the higher priced strains now can go for nearly 500 an ounce for top bud (top plant material)... There is still a good amount of poor quality imported stuff coming over the border, but no longer the great strains of the past like the golds and reds, just commercial bunk, mostly sold in the inner city in dime bags on the street corner. That can still go for close to 200 an ounce if you were to find a distributor willing to sell that much. Most of them want to cut it to dime bags and make a fortune... So, that's how the price of pot has effected the industry... in a nutshell  Ahh, thanks. I don't follow the pot price curve... :) Hummm, yeah I know a couple here will get stupid but it's all on the up and up. I get my info mostly from legal sites representing legal retail stores across the country and world... I tend to stir them up a bit as although I know there are some very legitimate medical reasons for some folks to smoke, I don't subscribe to the whole "medical marijuana" hoax, I just believe in straight legalization... 95 to probably 98% of the folks using "medical marijuana" are full of crap... Dope is dope Scotty. Do you suggest that all regulations on dope be rescinded? No, I think Marijuana should be treated like Tobacco or Alcohol... I agree. We spend WAY too much time and money on the fight to stamp out pot. Those resources could be used for much better things. Why don't you guys come up with a list of dope that you deem acceptable for general consumption. I'll start the list for you. 1. The hallucinogen, marijuana Well, that's my list.. Let's turn the tables.. Would you rather get in the car with somebody smoking pot, or somebody on Oxycontin or Vicodin? I assume those drugs are powerful hallucinogens, just like marijuana. You aren't really offering a safe alternative. To answer your question, I would not knowingly be around any machinery being operated by a person under the influence of any of those dangerous controlled substances, including pot. Listen, I get it.. You want me to get all upset and defend pot from your hysterical, uninformed suggestions about the drug... But I am not going to. I have known literally thousands of pot smokers in my lifetime, never once have I ever heard of one having hallucinations... so as far as I am concerned, as soon as you go there, you are talking about some fictional drug.. And I am not here to make up fairy tales... |

I really don't understand the question... But I think it should be sold over the counter like cigarettes, or if necessary in more controlled retail setting like hard liquor and wine, here. That's pretty liberal thinking. You got me, I am a closet liberal But seriously, I have been tellingyou folks I am a Libertarian for years... Why is it that you and Harry don't get along with each other better, then? Because we set our standards on a vastly different set of values... What libertarian held values do you two disagree on? I know this is where you want to take the group, but I'm not going there... Good for you. It's become obvious "Oscar" misses the bad old days around here, and would like to re-ignite the flame wars. |

Because Harry is very far left and therefore can't think outside of the box in that some things the right offers might be good. Scotty on the other hand is very far right and therefore can't think outside of the box in that some things the left offers up might be good. Then neither of them are libertarians.

There is still a good amount of poor quality imported stuff coming over the border, but no longer the great strains of the past like the golds and reds, just commercial bunk, mostly sold in the inner city in dime bags on the street corner. That can still go for close to 200 an ounce if you were to find a distributor willing to sell that much. Most of them want to cut it to dime bags and make a fortune... So, that's how the price of pot has effected the industry... in a nutshell Ahh, thanks. I don't follow the pot price curve... :) Hummm, yeah I know a couple here will get stupid but it's all on the up and up. I get my info mostly from legal sites representing legal retail stores across the country and world... I tend to stir them up a bit as although I know there are some very legitimate medical reasons for some folks to smoke, I don't subscribe to the whole "medical marijuana" hoax, I just believe in straight legalization... 95 to probably 98% of the folks using "medical marijuana" are full of crap... Dope is dope Scotty. Do you suggest that all regulations on dope be rescinded? No, I think Marijuana should be treated like Tobacco or Alcohol... I agree. We spend WAY too much time and money on the fight to stamp out pot. Those resources could be used for much better things. Why don't you guys come up with a list of dope that you deem acceptable for general consumption. I'll start the list for you. 1. The hallucinogen, marijuana Well, that's my list.. Let's turn the tables.. Would you rather get in the car with somebody smoking pot, or somebody on Oxycontin or Vicodin? I assume those drugs are powerful hallucinogens, just like marijuana. You aren't really offering a safe alternative. To answer your question, I would not knowingly be around any machinery being operated by a person under the influence of any of those dangerous controlled substances, including pot. Listen, I get it.. You want me to get all upset and defend pot from your hysterical, uninformed suggestions about the drug... But I am not going to. I have known literally thousands of pot smokers in my lifetime, never once have I ever heard of one having hallucinations... so as far as I am concerned, as soon as you go there, you are talking about some fictional drug.. And I am not here to make up fairy tales... The pot smokers I have known in my lifetime have never mentioned hallucinations in connection with use of the stuff. This is a propaganda talking point used by the textile and alcohol companies who got it banned in the first place. Think Kennedy, yeah, wrap your head around that one... and more recently, big pharma... |

OK,...here we go... Well, back in 1976 an ounce was less than ten dollars. It would come over from Jamaica or Vietnam with traveling service men, and other world travelers, average Joes, it was still somewhat casual but beginning to go more main stream (move to the suburbs) from about 69 on.

Regular like I said, less than ten buck an ounce, and then the specialty stuff like Colombian Gold, and Panama Red which cold reach the amazing price of 40 dollars an ounce... Things really changed quickly in the 80's when criminal elements realized how much money was to be made on pot, and really decided to take over the business. One of the things they did right away was begin to develop domestic production by sending growers from California all over the country, north western Mass, and particularly to Canada where a lot of the production moved indoors. This all made for a much fresher and significantly more potent, hand tended product rather than the imported stuff which was often beat to **** and smelling of something foul by the time it gotpot to the US. Although the imported stuff was still available, by the mid 80's it was almost completely replaced by the domestic crop and the prices skyrocketed to an average 200 an ounce by the mid 80's ten times more than it had been just a decade earlier. The whole market swung back in the last couple decades for suburban consumers anyway. With the availability of technology, information on the net, genetically superior seeds in the mail with practically no possibility of discovery has turned the whole market right back where it started with random, unconnected (mostly non criminal except for the pot) producers all over the country.

Dope is dope Scotty. Do you suggest that all regulations on dope be rescinded? No, I think Marijuana should be treated like Tobacco or Alcohol... Why tobacco? I really don't understand the question... But I think it should be sold over the counter like cigarettes, or if necessary in more controlled retail setting like hard liquor and wine, here. That's pretty liberal thinking. You got me, I am a closet liberal But seriously, I have beentelling you folks I am a Libertarian for years... Why is it that you and Harry don't get along with each other better, then? Because we set our standards on a vastly different set of values... What libertarian held values do you two disagree on? I know this is where you want to take the group, but I'm not going there... Good for you. It's become obvious "Oscar" misses the bad old days around here, and would like to re-ignite the flame wars. Just trying to clear up some apparent misstatements,both you and Scotty made. When it comes to pot smoking, I had an up close experience with the stuff a hundred years ago. Not being a drug user, I can't think of any other way to describe what it's like to be a drug user. Maybe you can shed some light on the subject. No sireee! No Flames, no name calling, no personal insults (including education), no swearing. You're walking a fine line here, except for a few slipups. I doubt you can keep it up. -- O M G |
