my first trip to a recreational shop

[fizzgig]

2:05: get in line outside
2:20: id checked and in the waiting room
2:40: id checked again and in with a clerk. she was very sweet and knowledgeable and got me through in about 15 minutes.

50 minutes and 43 bucks later, i have a gram and a candy bar. it's nice for the novelty, but i went out of necessity. smooth operation, though. they even had bottled water for people waiting outside.

grabbing a bite and a beer then i'll have a few squares of the candy bar and take a walk.

1. a glimmer of sanity, is it the dawn?

2. i think it is

i think colorado is setting a good example and hope they continue to do so.

3. I'm so jealous. I get tweets daily about which strains cost how much

I can't wait till the people here get their shit together. I hope that in November we at least approve medical cannabis. I don't need it now, but it would've been great when I started chemo (next time, I'm getting it, legal or not).

4. i hope for you, too

i love the (mostly) sanity of my state.

5. I'll self delete if this is violating forum rules

but can you comment on legal shop prices in comparison to street prices ($25/quarter when I lived there)? I ask because this is one of the issues I'm worried about that might destabilize the legal industry. If street prices are better, then the shops just wont do very well.

6. prices are outrageous at the shops

about 60 bucks plus tax for an eighth and i can get a quarter for 65 elsewhere. shop quality is good but it's not like i'm smoking ditch weed otherwise.

the shops here are booming, but i don't think their primary clientele is people like me who already have a standing relationship, rather people who might not be smoking otherwise or simply have no where else to go.

7. That was

pretty much exactly what I was afraid of. Ah well, it still seems to be going well so far.

8. so far, so good
