In the first year since cannabis became legal in Canada, the Ontario government suffered huge financial losses selling the substance. Industry experts join The Agenda to explore what went wrong, how Ontario’s approach differed from provinces that were able to turn profits, and what changes are in store when it comes to the business of cannabis.

The best marijuana strains for creativity and productivity (energizing sativa strains)

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Beginners. No Comments on The best marijuana strains for creativity and productivity (energizing sativa strains)

I started using marijuana for migraine prevention but have since discovered certain strains that are energizing and motivating (that actually make me exercise, or have more great ideas, or get more shit done). This is great because I’ve tried tons of other things – energy drinks, smart drugs and nootropics, but most don’t make me feel good and actually reduce productivity.

The strains I like best are subtle and I can barely feel them working, apart from an energizing effect and some creative synergy (lateral thinking between brain hemispheres). For writing fiction, marijuana is particularly useful in terms of visualizing and describing scenes in better detail because you can see things in your mind’s eye with greater clarity.

My favorite strains (original)
👌 Black lime reserve
👌 Cinex
👌 XJ-13
👌 Green Crack
👌 Jack the Ripper

New to me strains (updates):
I recently spent a month in Amsterdam, here are some new favorites:
👌 Sherbertica
👌 Amnesia haze
👌 Hash Plant Haze (HPH)
👌 AK47
👌 Bruce Banner

Something I didn’t mention in this video is that I prefer edibles – which some people don’t like because they can make you “wired” and even anxious/strung out (your mind is literally going too fast and you feel jumpy). I find it’s a pretty great state to be in for a lot of creative work, and better/healthier than a redbull or something similar.

(Also smoking pot every day isn’t great for your lungs… I bake mine into cookies and eat a half or whole cookie a day… which also reduces my cookie intake because I know I can’t eat more or I’d get too messed up to be productive).

My perfect jam is weed + modafinil.
Also what I LIKE about weed is the creative blending of things in new ways – but you need to focus it on one project or you’ll just mad associate everything. If you want to write, sit down with your scene and know what happens next.

I find writing on my iphone with iawriter and a bluetooth keyboard is best so you don’t get distracted. Also while I prefer sativas, sometimes they feel so clear and focused I don’t actually get the effects I like. I’m skeptical of hybrids because they usually make me feel weird, but *sometimes* a strong indica with coffee or modafinil is actually the best of both worlds.

ALSO: getting weed as a digital nomad is a challenge. Best countries: Spain, Portugal, Vietnam. Be very careful, in some countries it’s not worth the risk. I’m looking forward to being back in Oregon.

PS. I said Nixon instead of Reagan. Slip of the tongue.

Bill that would decriminalize marijuana at federal level passes House vote

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Bill that would decriminalize marijuana at federal level passes House vote

A divided U.S. House committee approved a proposal Wednesday to decriminalize and tax marijuana at the federal level. The House Judiciary Committee approved the proposal 24-10 after more than two hours of debate. It would reverse a longstanding federal prohibition by removing marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, while allowing states to set their own rules on pot.

Can You Overdose on Marijuana? | Marijuana

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Facts. No Comments on Can You Overdose on Marijuana? | Marijuana

Watch more Marijuana Facts & Medical Marijuana videos: http://www.howcast.com/videos/506374-Can-You-Overdose-on-Marijuana-Marijuana

Marijuana can’t kill you no matter how much humans have consumed. And people have tried to consume large quantities, either through inhaling the smoke of lots and lots of collected flowers, which is where the active ingredients are found, or they’ve tried to extract the active ingredients from the flowers into solvents like butter or alcohol. Well, too much alcohol can kill you, certainly, but the, it’s the compounds in marijuana even if you ingest a high concentrated variety of it, can’t stop your breathing, can’t cause you to have a seizure, as far as we know, possibly in some cases for people who are predisposed, these things can happen. But generally speaking, there’s been no recorded deaths just related to the use of the drug itself in no matter what quantity you’ve consumed.

Now, you can use too much of something if you were expecting a certain effect. Now, if you wanted to have a stress relieving affect with marijuana but still wanted to be functional and, you know, active you could use so much to the point where you become sedated and maybe a little bit agitated and that phenomenon can cause problems for people. And that’s what we’ve called an overdose, in quotes. It’s not an overdose to the point where you have now, you need to go to the emergency room and you need to be pumped, out of your stomach, or the substance, that kind of phenomenon is not what I’m describing.

Also, you might end up having a paranoid or psychotic reaction with a high use of something that has psychologically activating properties. People call that an acute cannabis psychosis, and that’s been described. Often times that does not lead to any chronic, long term change in your psychological status, like where you’re permanently this way, it clears over the course of a day or less. We’re talking extremely large doses, some of these affects.

Everyone has a different pharmacology, different chemistry, different reaction to drugs so the important thing is that people, when they’re using a psychologically activating substance is that they pace themselves, that they know how much they’re using, and wait before taking more. And that very commonly happens when you take marijuana orally, like in foods or dissolved things, there’s a large delay in the onset, sometimes can be up to an hour, hour and a half. And by that time, if you are waiting for an effect and have used more and more, you can have a kind of, an unpleasant surprise, a high amount sedation or, as I was mentioning, agitation.

With smoking or inhalation and vaporization, the onset is more immediate so you’re really able to just gauge in within a minute or two whether this is the right amount, whether you’re trying to relieve a symptoms or you’re trying to achieve a certain psychological state. And that’s important when you’re in a social setting and using marijuana or you’re sharing with other people, people will have different set points and that’s, I think, the key thing to remember.

The dangers deputies face with marijuana grows

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Grow. No Comments on The dangers deputies face with marijuana grows

he hot temperatures continues to beat down on the valley, while up in the foothills law enforcement are kept busy eradicating marijuana grows.

From March through October, members of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, Marijuana Eradication Team are destroying the illegal crop in the the foothills.

It’s dangerous work, not just because of the bad guys with guns, who are protecting the fields, but also the hazardous chemicals used on the crops.

These chemicals used by the cartels pose a threat not just to law enforcement but also the environment.

Within minutes of clearing the grow, deputies found cans of Carbofuran, which is one of the most toxic banned insecticides around.

The bottle was likely smuggled in from Mexico, because it’s use in the state is banned.

If any gets on your skin, deputies say it can quickly get into your bloodstream and attack your body’s nerve system.

The Sargent in charge of the unit says, “It’s supposed to be used in diluted form but they actually take a paint brush and put it on the stems of the plant, that concentration kills rodents, everything.”

Deputies say such drug growing sites, are often accompanied with the smell of death.

“We’ve seen dead deer everything within 100 meters. Just see dead stuff,” says deputies.

Another deadly chemical cartels are bringing in is Aluminum Phosphite, when mixed with water creates a poisonous deadly gas.

The DEA says California now produces more marijuana than Mexico, and that the state is serving as an illegal growing lab for consumption from buyers mostly outside of California.

These grow sites are contaminating and diverting millions of gallons of water, leaving trash heaps at hundreds of locations and endangering the public using the forests.

Deputies say, “This creek delivers water into Sycamore Creek, which of course delivers water to Pine Flat. So all this stuff is running off into the creek, totally uncontrolled. So we are potentially drinking this stuff.”

Thankfully, Fresno County is getting help from members of the California National Guard at no charge.

The National Guard also donates time for deputies to search for these illegal crops in national guard planes.

Bottom-line, the only way we are going to rid the foothills and the valley of these illegal marijuana grows is through community support.

Deputies want to public to know if they see something, report it.
