Fly high Ski good luck on your new endeavor from Uncle DAVE🙃🐘
When that’s 50% of the population, you begin to see the trouble we are heading for.
Whats on the menu?
Lemon Spice?
Cannan Ball?
Congrats! Never thought I would see the day…. I did go in there, have your ID ready! Great local products, small farm quality oils. I don’t care for pre-rolls. (Hot burning yuppy joints) . Hopefully they won’t be stocking flowcanna products. Friendly,knowledgeable staff.
~pass the salt.
never say never. hate is a four letter word
Damn! I don’t have identi-fiction. Guess that let’s me out. Boo, hoo, hoo. What will i do?
Ribbon cutting @ 4:20. “Come get your mmm Legal pot.”
thats not what it said
News Flash! Not everyone grows here. There’s tons of folks who travel thru as tourists and tons of folks like me working a job & paying rent w/ no grow contracts. I personally have been in there several times. They have fair prices and always a sale, for good products, not just something their trying to get rid of. Top shelf. Thanks Ski!
~do they have lemon spice?
Sign me up for a GovernMental high.
Makes me think of Barry Manilow for some reason.
yeah a store can do a lot of different business. it could be a physical location for big deliveries down south among other things
~true enough.
I’m wondering if it’s next to Ford/Fennel’s Broken Yolk?
There used to be a joke about folks buying zucchini at the farmer’s market: that they don’t have any friends.
Doesn’t everyone grow their own?
This is like selling water to the fish that live in the ocean.
~hearty, har, har.
So, we’re not lacking intelligence, we’re not lacking labor, and the criminal parasites (+ supporters of evil), are exposed, standing naked, fawning and patting themselves . . . on with the show!
Just saying, Nobody.
The most recent Hayfork bust focused on the downtown depot. Staging for controlled export is nothing new and is a vibrant element of marijuana income.
I think it should be noted that “legal” doesn’t equate to lawful.
Cannabis cultivators on the other hand have survived by servicing consumers best and healthiest needs.
“I think it should be noted that “legal” doesn’t equate to lawful.”
~i think “‘legal’ doesn’t equate to lawful” should be a mantra.
. . . more like selling fish to fisherman . . .
Does everyone cook for themselves? It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
Yes here locally I have never bought marijuana here I visited this shop and not one product is so him local… And I paid too dollar for some 2018 marijuana it was old and a little brown I hope to see this place work w locals also bud tenders not so qualified everyone is effected differently on any dose what one person can handle a lot of others can’t . hope fully he is also a distribution center where legal local can reach out .
Wait, you have to BUY weed in Redway?
It’s growing everywhere these days…
I used to like pot, but when I stopped using it I got a lot more intelligent…
Grow your own or leave it alone! Weed is a weed, man, and it should be free!
I would like to try the local product, but the last time I got high I got so agitated that I had to mow the lawn and wash the cars… Never again!
I love the smell of Redway, Weott, Willow Creek and the entire length of Highway 36 in the Fall! Smells like – Humboldt!
AND:
$60/oz in Oregon?
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ywag8j/oregon-has-way-too-much-legal-weed-this-is-where-its-going
under 100/oz in legal rec/med states.
It is still over 200 an ounce for high quality buds. Yes you can get plenty of ounces for between 60 to 100 but it’s old and lost a lot of its luster. Below is a link to a dispensary with various prices for their nugs. Lots above 200 and lots below 100.
https://www.urbanfarmacypdx.com/menu/
As far as oversupply tell that to the states to the east I think they have a different perspective 😉
No sir, states to the east with rec/med are experiencing a price free fall. BM is becoming irrelevant for adults, BM is all about minors and the buttheads who sell to minors, just like booze. Michigan is rocking.
Dont believe the interwebs pricing. Go into a dispensary and ask. They got plenty hq bud for under 100. Prices in Vegas are 1/3 of what they were two years ago.
Its a weed. Its not a cow.
You are way off. Just got back from the east coast 32 to 36 is what I got. They are in desperation back east this dude in North Carolina is offerin 40 right now. Grow all ya want in them legal states ya still not gonna be able to compete with a veteran Humboldt grower. Like I keep saying repeal the federal law and let the competition truly begin.
The way I see it the corporations and politicians by allowing each state to join legalization slowly think saturating the market with many gowers will allow them to swallow up the struggling growers/business once the federal law is repealed and the industry is flooded with growers and product. They again underestimate the Humboldt grower just like California has with the traditional market not understanding the demographics of this industry.
Simply put, I and many others in and throughout Humboldt, Trinity and Mendocino Counties can grow acre upon acre of organic sun grown frosty DANK sticky moist tight smelly nugz better than any corporate cannabis or bigAg product and not a damn thing anyone can do to stop us. We are gonna kick your lilly ass monkey juiced environmentally wasteful corporate dirt weed up and down main street of every state in this union I guarantee it!!
What I wrote above is what wall street and those politicians backed by corporations are scarred of and they should be based on our domination of the state of California the 7th largest economy on this earth.
“…once the federal law is repealed …”
The corporation {government} doesn’t like competition.
~the ONLY time i can think of that the U.S. Inc., apologized, was 40 years after-the-fact of the Japanese detainment camps.
Appreciate your up-to-the-minute comments, Legallettuce.
Damn $traight LL
$10 a gram at dispensaries in SF. So my friend in SF says. But growers are only getting $60 an oz sometimes.
~what a great comment, Billy. I love it.
Thanks for the early morning visuals :-))
I would like to try the local product, but the last time I got high I got so agitated that I had to mow the lawn and wash the cars… Never again!
Hahaha. Oh that’s funny Billy!
It must have been a Sativa, otherwise you would’ve only cleaned the fridge!
that’s what i was thinking. the glue i grew last year makes you stay productive and do chores and if you don’t have chores you will create some.
Ah yes indeed.
“I love the smell of Redway, Weott, Willow Creek and the entire length of Highway 36 in the Fall! Smells like – Humboldt!”
On motorcycle last Sunday I covered 175 miles of blacktop secondary roads, mostly in Trinity. The aromas were woke. There were the deep dank skunks and then the spicy lemony delicate bouquets went past. Everybody was in the air.
I never thought I’d see this in my day. “CANNABIS DISPENSARY RIBBON CUTTING IN REDWAY”
So cool. Congratulations. I don’t use cannabis products, but many of my family and friends do that don’t grow themselves.
The Cannabis market is now being flooded with toxic cannabis products from black market players tryin to make a buck and if there was any time to only buy from Legal dispensaries it’s NOW.
Check out the SFGate article about the vape pens, bought on the street black market, sending many to ICU with rare lung infections. These poor people didn’t know what was in that cartridge. (From China, and then loaded with cannabis oil in California)
https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/7-Hanford-hospitalized-vaping-carts-lung-toxin-14335633.php
Legal dispensaries can only sell cannabis products that have been tested and are safe to consume.
Kym maybe you can share that article .
Maybe the JUUL investigation will tell the other side of vapes. The Feds are getting into the action.
JUUL was 100% “legal” and advertised towards the untrue healthy practice. The suits to be filed on oil refills are being staged for examination. Better think twice before sucking on those things.
Buyer beware,
“Legal dispensaries can only sell cannabis products that have been tested and are safe to consume.”
~since you say you don’t consume, and therefore, are Not speaking from experience. Please take a seat.
SOME OF US have hit the floor, and stayed-put for an hour, after one toke of Dispensed product.
{stick that in your pipe and smoke it}
There was a wave of analytic laboratories that were popped for breaking the CBCC specifications. It made people at the time become honestly aware of the pitfalls with academics in the controlling position.
But sir, the label says, “Consume at your own risk”
Trust your local cannabist, and avoid the lies from the marijuana greed. Homegrown is the best.
Hash oil vape pens are the most un-hippy product on planet Earth. Smoke some plastic anyone? That shit will make your balls shrink.
Agree with that. Packaging of legal weed is retarded. TONS of plastic and cardboard packaging for a little vape cartridge. Some are cool and be re-used but still….. what ever happened to a sandwich bag full of A grade outdoor “blueberry” and pack of zig-zags?
~ahh, the days of yesteryear, when kilos were wrapped in colored cellophane paper. (I grew up in SoCal)
“Country Club” is a great name.
Kudos.
Live life and let others live life. Is there really anything you cant understand about this concept of reciprocal respect, love and honor. Wonder why you hate cannabis smokers, do you hate drinkers too or is it just discrimination against cannabis smokers, what is the psycology behind your hatred and intolerance? [edit]
Nice Logo
LMFAO
Didn’t notice the helicopter. 😂
That guy with the guitar is awfully relaxed for a helicopter going over…but I guess you get to be that way if you are legal!
I thought it looks wrong. The big C is too low and the “the” look all wrong. Close to good.
Remember- Every time you purchase “legal” product at an expensary part of the purchase price is added to the fund to abate and eradicate your neighbors. How does that make you feel? Righteous and irie? YOU are responsible for what YOU contribute to…think about it
Dammit, Farce, I am so dang frustrated with statements like this, I actually started to type out something about how every time you dis legal weed, another innocent person goes to jail for possession. I don’t believe it, but I can’t believe you want to start a war between legal and traditional growers either. It is crazy.
You are too smart for this. I know you are afraid and I don’t blame you but work to build a coalition. Stop trying to cut off your nose just because it isn’t exactly the size you think it should be.
It is a fact. And I just think it’s important that people know what kind of world they are contributing to….It used to be a very important value around here! Not to avoid the knowledge, or deny or minimize because it makes you uncomfortable. But to accept your personal responsibility. I know, I know- I’m reaching back a bunch of years to when people around here actually tried living out their beliefs! Fat chance on that now, right? “Let’s beat up the messenger- he’s making us feel bad!” Ha ha
I think most people agree with farce.. Sorry kym, but not everyone wants to b a goodie two shoes follow the leader type and growing cannabis has become full of that, even though most still sell underground when and if they can.. And yes, a oart of every dime made in the legal market contributes directly to the war on drugs thats still raging. Truth.
Ah…I see. You are totally comfortable blaming people for contributing to the war on drugs but not at all willing to acknowledge that by trying to keep marijuana illegal, you are contributing to the war on the poor and minorities….
Not exactly Kym Kemp, we’re closely monitoring “legal”. What we see is troubling.
Here’s a simple example on cannabis versus marijuana and it’s …
https://www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-flower-offers-more-pain-relief-than-other-cannabis-products-study-finds/
Soo. What I hear in what your saying Kym… is that Original Market Pharmers have a hand in.. and need to accept responsibility for the incarceration of poor and minorities.. even though, it is a personal choice to possess cannabis.. On the other hand, what I hear you saying, is that “legal” cannabis profiteers have no responsibility in the subjectation of unwarranted fines, abatements, and irradication of the unpermited community members, and that signing up for the permits, in no way is responsible for the acts of irradication… So how is it that one group is held to accountability, and the other is not?
What I’m arguing is we are all part of a system that requires us to participate in some way with things we don’t always approve of and even hate. It is important to be aware of how the cogs you and others are part of are turning the wheels but it foolish to yell at others for the ways they participate and ignore the ways you participate.
Now there are more active choices like reporting a neighbor who has a small organic but outlaw farm that are actual choices. And getting judgmental about an active choice to hurt someone as opposed to blaming someone who chose to jump off a boat they think is sinking because that makes the boat a little less stable, well…that is a different kind of choice.
The system does indeed push us all to do things we may dispise and ultimately hate.. The cogs are definitely being turned. I don’t find it foolishness to point to erroneous thinking as to what the cogs are being turned for.. on any side of an equation.
Jumping off the Boat is one thing, it’s another to jump off the boat, onto a super tanker armed to the teeth with weapons, and pay the captain to sink the other ship that vey person had previously used as a Life boat.. I feel like that is an equation of infallibility.
“Civil Disobedience is not our problem.. Our problem is Civil Obedience..” Howard Zinn
“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” Alice Walker
Umm…I am not a part of that system. I decided I couldn’t live with my own conscience if I paid into a fund used to eradicate my neighbors. That is not the way I was raised nor how I raised my boys (Papa Bear style). There were other reasons but that was the clincher. So now I would like to make sure that everybody knows what they are actually doing. When you buy an item at an expensary you are contributing to a fund to eradicate your neighbors. When you pay your annual permit fee you are contributing to a fund that is used to eradicate your neighbors. I know people with permits- good people (like those “good Germans” we all read about in school)- who don’t want to admit that this is true. But it is!! They say “good German” things like “Well… we had to- for our children!” and “It was the only way” or the ever- justifying “I did what I had to do”. Hey- if this basic fact irritates you then good!- you have a moral dilemma and your soul is not completely compromised (yet). But if you try to shut me down for this factual informaton because it makes you uncomfortable…well, that is sad for you. Or threaten me- as if it’s ME who is the instigator or the inciter of some epic division. Ha Ha Ha!! Bizarre twisting of perspective. The division is here and it’s real. Most people I know on back roads discuss it as soon as the permit people leave the room. So…yeah- we all know what you all have done. Why not just confess and apologize and commit to working to help out your poor and unprotected neighbors from terrible police actions? You won’t do that. And THAT is the division. You left us. We stayed right where we always were. And then you helped fund eradication efforts to destroy us. And then when we said anything about it you scolded us. You would like to play pretend -unity and pretend-community until we are all gone. And then you can say “They were nice. It’s too bad they had to leave.” I’m just stating facts…but y’all are being duplicitous- complicit with the county and state in our extermination but never willing to own up to any of it. Just say it “I am contributing to the eradication of my unpermitted neighbors. Many of whom could not afford or were able to get permits even if they wanted them. And their loss is my gain (I hope)”. Stop lying to yourself.
Good lord, Farce, take a breath or a hit off a joint. What do you really think when you say something so freakin’ ridiculous as “if you try to shut me down for this factual information because it makes you uncomfortable…”
You’ve insulted me far worse than this before and yet here you are posting away yet again on my site that I’m a bad person (how many years have you been doing that? At least 5)…and yet, you haven’t been banned yet. The worst punishment you have is that I argue with you and tell you that you’re wrong. Surely you can handle that from a gullible old lady like me.
Try not to get too worked up about how badly you are treated, the Nazi’s haven’t drug you to the gas chamber yet even though, according to you, I’m willingly handing over money to them so they can do it.
Kym, just so you know, I don’t think you’re a bad person, but It is a fact that permitted pharms are contributing to the eradication and abatements of unpermited community members and neighbors..
Me personally, I can admit that keeping Cannabis Illegal has an impact on communities outside our own. I can face that music.. However, I hear very little atonement from “legal”permitted growers, as to thier contribution to the impacts on this community, and in particular, to the smaller well meaning Indy pharmers… I hear a lot of excuses, why that is somehow justified.. most of it false.. I understand you didn’t write the rule book Kym.. still, Why not denounce the facts of its lousy contributions?
In general, I don’t write opinion pieces. I provide facts so people can make up their minds. But I search out growers/outlaws to interview and try to make sure that the other side is presented. I try not to present the easy “party” line. But I only have so much time and this comment section takes up too much of it.
I kinda get that.. Ok, then, I will continue to denounce the permit process… I suppose it can be difficult to find Originals who want to be open about thier story.. I can understand how the comment section takes a lot of Energy.
It still is a fact that Permitted Pharmers pay into a system directly that is responsible for the continuation and amplification of the “war against cannabis growers” and the eradication of smaller independent pharms.. that’s an absolute fact..
Yes, that is a fact.
There are a lot of other facts that aren’t acknowledged there–including that poor and minorities are helped by legalization. And when you pay any sort of taxes they can both support roads to bring your product to market and support dropping bombs on children in Afghanistan.
I’m not entirely convinced Legalization will be of significant benefits to poor and minorities.. the system has been gentrified, locking many out with abnormally high fees and regz… considering you have to be 21 to posses cannabis and only 1 oz, I am sure that plenty of exploitation will continue… Maybe it’s a slight step to a brighter future, unfortunately it has also been at the expense and exploitation of many of the locals of the triangle….
Your right on most levels Farce, It’s true, if I go to the dispensary, I would pay into the funds for Eradication.. I just really like the Canno Gummy Bears… I have a hard time resisting the Gummy bear temptations… It’s true..

Original Market Pharmers were freaking criminals. Violating federal, state, and county laws. 1000s of people are in jail or dead due to the Original Market Pharmers and their collective greed. It was AWESOME while it lasted.
Viva La Sixty Fo! Using simple economics to put the Original Market Pharmers.
Why did non-smokers vote yes on 64?
Eliminate the black market.
Raise up some taxes.

I am not a fan of the permits or the process, however I am actually kinda glad to see a dispensary in Redway! It’s way passed time.. And it sounds like they want to show case local products.. which is a step in the right direction.. These days, it’s all about access to APPS, that will guide customers to your location. Good reviews and curiosity to passers by will bring in customers.. I would get some products there.. I like variety… Best of luck..
Do you guys know what? I go with my friend in Eureka to dispensaries if that’s what he’s doing that day. I’m shunned and forbidden to go into the salesroom display. I pick up brochures – and there was a bag w/instructions on it, on where to take what you just bought to be tested. I sh!t you not.
