Right on man spread the good word. So crazy the shit some doctors will just casually throw people onto yet furrow their brow if someone brings up cannabis.

Just got some shatter for the super bowl
Go Denver!
Go Denver!
^that's such nice packaging! nobody around here does that, I guess that's what an unregulated market gets you...
I just went to the dispo and got shatter--it came off a a big slab, packaged by hand by the budtender. It does sometime get you an extra .1-.2 though. Got some really nice stuff too, it had been almost 2 months since I bought concentrates so I picked up like 6 grams--Sky Tangie, Saturn OG, Mars OG, Hardcore OG, Skywalker OG (2 grams). Yes, I like my OGs. I'm also still stocked on sativas, just needed more pain/sleep meds.
And I just took a dab of the Saturn and it was so terpy, such piney. Everything was $10 off per gram too! The total was the same as this place charges for an ounce of top-shelf flower, which is at least $100 less than I paid on the east coast. (if that's too close to prices feel free to delete)

I've always thought that the price discussion ban on this site was kind of weird and dumb. Same with the ban on legal discussion (although I guess this happened at one point here) and drug test questions...
^^I don't think so.
I've always operated under the assumption that putting numerical/dollar value to weight and/or quantity is what's not allowed. Comparisons are perfectly acceptable, though (i.e. I just bought 7g for less than you'd pay for a new PS4 game).
I'm pretty sure the rule's in place to prevent law enforcement from trying to label Bluelight as a drug market. The goal here is and always has been harm reduction, and whoever runs this site made it pretty clear early on that it wasn't meant to be used for sourcing illicit materials. The reasoning for disallowing legal price discussion would be an extension of that, I think, so there's no grey area and to give moderators less work when it comes to handling the sections of Bluelight they're each individually responsible for.
I could be totally wrong, though.
[EDIT:
It's for the site's protection. Giving advice on how to beat drug tests is an easily avoidable subject that, when discussed openly, could get the operators of the website into some kind of trouble (even if that trouble is simply going as far as shutting Bluelight down).
With legal questions, it's to prevent some random douche online from walking a gullible drug user right into prison, and then having that drug user mention to authorities or his public defender/attorney about how his legal advice came from here. That could be bad news for this website.
Most of those rules are here to protect this forum, not to hinder the freedom of the people who use it. (holy shit that sounds super political to me)

Regarding price discussion, here's my view on the issue (not an official statement):
Previously it has been unloved mainly to prevent members from trying to make friends through the site for the purpose of using them as a connect. A lot of people do meet IRL through BL and, well, some of you know very well the sort of desperate behaviour drug addiction can cause. Taking price discussion out of the equation reduces the risk of ulterior motives playing a role in BLers meeting.
The partial legalization of cannabis in the U.S. has not changed the Pandora's-Box-ishness of price discussion, it has just moved the goalposts. Now what quelling price discussion accomplishes is simply preventing CD from being overrun by advertisement. As you can see right in stayhealthy970's post, that's already a difficult grey area to enforce. One post endorsing Denver Dab Co. is not a marketing campaign, but a number of such posts spread out over a period of time and other threads is. Recently we have seen a valued contributor to the synthetics discussion leave because it was revealed that he was using his good reputation as a means of advertising his services. Nobody even realized it before someone blew the whistle. There are always other attempts to subvert the rules to try and advertise here. <insert obligatory Bill Hicks quote on marketing to emphasize the point>
So yes, I can understand the sentiment of the regulars who want to have the freedom to discuss prices like reasonable human beings would, but given what we've seen so far, there's no doubt that both the mods and regular members would bear the brunt of sock puppet accounts flooding in to abuse price discussion in order to advertise if it were allowed. Does anyone here want CD to risk turning into a community where you won't be able to tell if a member is giving advice just because they're a fellow user, or because they're thinking of a way to get into your wallet?

Haven't been on BL in a few days but damn Jib sorry to hear about your homie. That really fucking sucks man hope he's doing OK.
Not to sound like a dumb hippie and say legalize everything, but I feel like a lot of shitty incidents could be avoided if we actually treated drug users like real people and helped them out instead of locking them in a cage. If everyone just got a fine and had to go into drug treatment instead of getting a felony / locked up / potentially ruining the rest of their life people wouldn't have to put themselves into those kind of situations. I'm not really for legalizing all drugs, but I do think we go a bit crazy with the repercussions here in the US for drug users.

I appreciate it, man, and I don't think I've said it before but I appreciate all the sentiments the rest of you have shown. I was just venting, didn't wanna turn the social into my blog.... but yeah, thanks guys.
Yeah that would not be cool if there were a bunch of bots roaming around BL.. Wasn't trying to stir up controversy with the question, was just genuinely curious as to where the line was.
I'm going to go watch me some bill hicks now lol thanks thujone
no worries dude, thinking of ways CD can adapt to changes in cannabis culture is something the community here should be doing! for years all this cutting-edge stuff was just building steam and now in a short timespan there are suddenly hundreds of synthetic cannabinoids and new concentrates and vaping gone mainstream and then of course legalization as well. it's exciting to see this kind of stuff finally move out of the shadows into the limelight, and i'm positive CD can find a way to stay relevant without compromising the fundamentals that helped make CD what it is today.
I'm glad we have a place we can come and share random topics with each other. It's cool getting to talk to people I would probably never otherwise get to meet and interact with. It's good to hear other peoples' views, especially those we might not agree with.
fuckin great time to be a stoner tho amirite or amirite
Does anyone know anyone info on the current state of medical marijuana and cultivation in CA?
I follow OGRaskal on IG, he was just posting something that looked like they are about to start massive commercial grows in southern california.
Also, looking at this http://www.canorml.org/BOE_Notice.JPG and this http://www.canorml.org/medical-marijuana/local-growing-limits-in-california it sounds like growing limits have changed?
Does anyone have any info about this?? Thanks

^It's city-by-city now. They must be setting up in a municipality that has decided to allow the medium or large indoor cultivation licenses. I'm not sure which cities in SoCal have actually set up that licensing already, I didn't think there were any.
Most of the people who claim to be doing things "totally licensed" are full of shit, like the Mexican gang bangers known as the Silica/OG Raskal crew. They haven't even given out state licenses or local permits yet (both of which are required to be operating 1/1/18) so these guys are planning to be fully licensed when that option is available, right now "fully licensed" means jack shit.
They're just pumping the IG hype train, cause it's been damn good to them the last few years. Don't get me wrong, White Fire OG is good, Mr. B Extracts is good, but their image and probably heritage (Mexican gang bangers) is NOT, I repeat NOT, a good representation of medical cannabis. You even see in the comments somebody says, "not a good idea to post a picture," and they just respond that it's not in LA County.
Sometimes I think I should go back to law school because most of the attorneys representing these clowns are straight fools.

This is exactly what I was wondering.. I mean they put themselves way out in the public eye and are constantly posting pictures of "legal" grows. I'm pretty sure they are affiliated with Payaso_grow as well I want to say..
So basically, as of right now(and until 1-1-18 or state license is set up) the legality of the grow is determined by city
Also, what makes you say they are Mexican gang bangers> I haven't looked into them much other than their IG, usually just drool over their grow room pics. I always assumed that they must be relatively professional and probably have some white collar funding, but I could be wrong.
