  1. That's what happens when the Brits command 'colonials', they are cannon fodder. Old news.

  2. True. You have a _duty_ to separate a sucker from his money.

    You should see how the old men and ladies take to weed, once it's legal.

    'Old' generally comes with pain.

    Even feds can't find juries to convict and they know it.

  7. The tests can't tell pot from Marinol (or it's other brand name).

    Works for DOT and FAA tests. Drs are much more relaxed and informed about these drugs vs 20 years ago.

    The standard pee test can be beat by a highschool dropout. But for the nervous (or owners of high stakes licences), Marinol does the trick.

    Boeing knows that hair testing their crew would be very ungood for them.

    This is the feds smacking ol' Musky on the nose with a newspaper for stepping out of line. The last of the drug warriors haven't died off, but are butthurt as fuck.

  9. No they don't. Not unless they are using hair or check swab tests, which are expensive (also relatively expensive to cheat on).

    Pee tests are designed to let 'crete and paint crews stay staffed. If they worked, the crews would be empty and work wouldn't get done.

    I've passed pee tests while reeking, red eyed, dry mouthed, babbling, stoned.

    It's been decades since I took a pee test sober, kind of a ritual. Though at this point, it's been a few years since I took one at all.

    Never use them, unless you want your boss in your business.

    Also beware 'self insurance'. Pick another option, even if the copay is higher.

    You dad wasn't paying attention. When you are retired or nearly, you keep a small % in stocks.

    Not paying attention must run in families.

  14. 'BC bud' is mostly indoor. It _can't_ compete with quality outdoor at legal prices.

    Indoor bud is also the most ungreen endeavour on the planet. In practice it means burn fossil fuels to produce a third rate 'sun', then burn more fossil fuels to cool the space.

    We know where the best microclimates for pot on the west coast are. Humboldt, Trinity, Shasta at a few thousand feet of altitude is the west coast Napa Valley of pot. Those guys do great to get 1k$/lb. The ones with 'names' can get more, because bragging rights.

    Canada might have to limp along on indoor, but the price differences on the border mean smuggling will continue.

  15. Transplant about midsummer, keep outdoors but under a porch light until transplant. Strains should have an estimated harvest date for your latitude. Pick one where that date is before your weather changes. If you can avoid the ruderalis crosses, do it. They all lose a step or three.

    I average about a pound/plant in the northern CA central valley with low effort. But I grew my first in the 1980s. Only problem is the nights are too warm, buds aren't tight. Smokes just fine though.

    If you didn't get buds, you might have had too much light on the plant at night. Near total darkness is required.

    Russia and China are still sitting on their copies of the deleted Hillary emails. Those are potentially valuable blackmail material.

    They found a bunch of work and classified email chains in other people's mail archives that Hillary had deleted. That she only deleted personal email is an obvious and notorious lie. But the NPCs have their scripts.

  18. We dodged a bullet. Thank dog her handlers were so overconfident.

  19. They are in a MAD situation.

    But both 'sides' have true believers ignorant of realpolitik, so there is a chance both sides will empty their vaults of dirt. Which gets us back on topic, Ds will have to manage their investigations carefully, escalation is very dangerous to both sides.

    IMHO that was why the R establishment put Sessions in. Another reason to cheer the corrupt old fart being sent to the glue factory.

  20. This is excellent. prison all around.

    The senate is sure to just standby politely while the house runs a witch hunt. /sarc

    Anything that helps put Hillary in prison is good!

  21. If you count _Alaska_...lying sack of shit.

    The southern border of Canada is too far north to get a good outdoor crop, except right on the Pacific ocean, even there far north of optimal. You lose the buds to mold when it rains within a month of harvest.

    'BC bud' used to be a thing on the west coast of the USA (never common). Not for a long time now, can't compete.

    The American way is to bunk up 6-8 deep in a 2 bedroom apartment.

    Alternatively there are landlords that do the illegally small closet sized rooms with no fire exit, subdivided house for full apartment price thing. But the Chinese aren't stupid, they figure that out pretty fast.

  23. The GPs suggestion was not to think, rather go see a movie and accept the agenda of the movie maker as truth.

    He dismisses their not doing so as: but 'you know scientists'.

    I just listed some speculative fiction that has wrapped in (insane/space opera) assumptions that no one in their right mind would think apply in the real world.

  24. How many decades have you been growing pot? Indoors?

    They can grow some shitty short season strains that far north, but nobody wants that kind of low grade swag. In the northern provinces, no chance.

    Even BC is way north of optimal. Legal pot markets don't support the cost of growing under lights, long term, anywhere there is a supply of quality outdoor.
