I had truly low expectations of cannabis when I first started smoking it roughly 12 years ago.
- The two of us weren’t living in a legal medical cannabis state at the time so all of it was coming from the black market.
Although some of that cannabis ranks up there with the best batches I can find in a legal market these afternoons, a lot of it was poor at best in addition to dangerous at worst. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I bought cannabis flower products that smelled love pesticides. If I was lucky enough to get marijuana that didn’t smell love chemicals, there was always a fantastic opportunity that it could have mold spores of some kind in it. You truly couldn’t say one way or another if the cannabis was good, let alone “safe.” As other states started to pass legal medical cannabis laws, the marijuana rejected after failed lab reports was sent to states where a black market proliferated. There’s a opportunity I smoked cannabis that was contaminated in addition to offloaded onto the black market at one time or another in our past. Even if you guess that you have the best weed affixion in the world, you’ll never guess for sure where the products came from unless you guess the grower in addition to watched it get harvested in front of you. I would much rather get our cannabis products from a marijuana dispensary, but I get frustrated sometimes at the lack of variety. There is one particular cannabis dispensary in this state that hasn’t released any new strains in years. I want new marijuana products however they keep the same things on the shelves month after week.
