Bought my first legal weed

Recreational will be on the ballot in Florida in 2024 but it does not include home grow. The main backer of the bill is the largest medical dispensary here and the way the bill is designed the recreational users will be buying from dispensaries that are currently only medical.

It usually does come down to a "Follow the Money" thing and if the big dispensaries are p aying off the politicians, you can be assured that Home Grow will not be included. Home Grow is such a small percentage of overall usage, that 90+% will still go to their local dispensary on the corner and buy whatever over-priced mid-grade bud they have. They will pick the one with the highest THC value listed, they have no clue where the number came from or how easily those THC tests are to skew, but that number is bigger, so that bud is better. They will be happy with their choice, because they don't know any better and I am happy for them being able to find their medicine/drug of choice easily and accessibly. The taxes they spend on this over-priced stuff is how we will get the politicians to legalize cannabis in the first place, because again, "Follow the Money". There has to be some form of financial incentive for the politicians to do their jobs and pass legislation that will actually help people.

Poor folks that can't afford the $50+ 1/8ths should be able buy a seed and some soil and produce their own medicine in their own home. People who want to experience different flavors and effects should be able to plant different seeds and see which plants produce what they want. Rasta Jeff from Irie Genetics describes cannabis like fireworks. The THC amount is how high up the fireworks go up before exploding and the terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids are the pretty colors as they explode out and create the beautiful displays in the sky. You can always consume more to get the fireworks up higher, but if you are missing the rest you will miss out on the pretty colors.
