In Tennessee, both medical and recreational marijuana use are illegal. After proposed legislation to legalize medical cannabis failed during this year’s General Assembly, it will be at least another year before there is any change to that status.

When I left California, I was paying about 400 bucks a quarter pound for killer green bud. Once I got here to Tennessee, I found the price was right at $1000 for the same quantity, but a lower quality.
That was 7 years ago. I couldn't tell you what it is now.
damn. used to be 60 bucks for a quarter pound back in the early 1970's .
ReplyDeletea couple of years back a buddy of mine was checking out my garden with tomato plants close to 7 foot tall. all I remember him saying was "I wish you try growing pot"
he passed on last year, sorry to say. dave in pa.
Oh, but the weed back in the 70s is so outclassed by the weed nowadays. There's really no comparison.
Deletelast time I smoke any weed was with some girl back in the middle 90's.
Deleteshe got turned on and I got a massive headache from it. too old for any of that bullshit now a days. I don't even drink really anymore. last time I bought a bottle of scotch
was 2 years ago and 4/5 of it is still there. dave in pa.
I never needed "weed". I get high on life, praise the Lord.

Delete"38 states have legalized marijuana for medical use".
ReplyDelete'Medical' as in mentally disabled democrats.
and look at how well that has worked out for them so far.....
Deletei spent $80 on the two ounce special at the wife's local medicinal dispensary yesterday.
ReplyDeletean indica @ 34% and a sativa that was only 28%. a far cry from the old $10 'lids' of
mexican that i grew up with.
Aint life grand ?
EastTN 200/z for good stuff. Apple fritter this month.
ReplyDeleteStarker here,
ReplyDelete40-50 years ago, weed smelled somewhat like ring boloney. Now all I ever smell is what we used to call Skunkweed. What happened? How can people smoke "skunk"?
Because it's all about the THC levels and not about the mellows.
DeleteHoly shit, the prices being posted in these comments. I've never used the stuff, and have no real interest in trying (though the potential for chronic pain in old age could eventually change my view on that) but I observe here where we recently legalized recreational that the "legit" suppliers have billboards proclaiming prices "as low as $55/half oz".
ReplyDeleteBy implication, that's the cheapest stuff they sell. Being the pot neophyte I am, I don't know how far a 1/2 ounce goes, but it sounds like a seriously expensive proposition if one is a regular user.
I used to smoke about an ounce a week.
DeleteHere in MN I know several people who drive to Michigan or Illinois to stock up, the state legislature is working hard to legalize it this session. I wonder how big of a hit the dispensaries will take when the MN business stays in state.
ReplyDeleteA friend's now ex wife is a heavy daily smoker. At a party a while back I asked her if I could have a couple of hits. It was the first I'd smoked in years.
ReplyDeleteI took one hit and after a few minutes I asked for another. She said give it some time and then ask again. I didn't ask again. I was totally fucking baked for hours. The shit out there now is not anything like what we smoked when I was in my 20s and 30s.
I asked her how much it costs. She pays $600/oz. In the 70s I was paying $400-600/kilo.
Seeds are cheap.
