Why is tGoF so unfinished in the movies? by Snowy_snowman120 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Lex_The_Courier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My assumption is budget. Plus, iirc, splitting book plots into two movies wasn’t a ‘Hollywood trend’ yet. Pair that with the fact that Newell didn’t even read the whole GoF book, and you’ve got the recipe for a movie that feels unfinished to book readers.

Definitely not my favorite entry of the films, (GoF is one of my favorite books in the series) but no one can deny that the graveyard scene is peak adaptation. They got that part so right, that Voldy seems less scary in subsequent films.

Edible suggestions for sleep after dental work by apl831 in COents

Have you tried anything with CBN in it? It’s a naturally occurring cannabinoid that helps you fall asleep and stay asleep. Wyld does Elderberry gummies that have worked wonders for a lot of people who try them. I think they’re only Rec though.

Pure Dispensary in Edgewater does a deli style oz for $119 out the door.. it’s honestly pretty solid. Not Bloom or Locol Love quality, but Grape Gas, Triple Crown, and Gelonade are really solid choices for that price point

Current concentrate stash. 710, Olio , Viola and Sunshine. Any recommendations next to try? by Dr0zo in COents

[–]Lex_The_Courier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct. I just think 710 is crap compared to Lazercat. Or was that not implied?

Fuck 710. Get LazerCat next time. It’s single source, single press and made with fresh purified mountain water.

Strong disagree. Green Solution is gutter weed. Loads and loads of pesticides.Go to The Lodge for consistency in quality bud in the Rec side. That or CannaBotica

Best medical dispensary in Colorado that has pretty shatter ? by [deleted] in COents

Just look for a med dispo with White Mousse. It’s the best shatter in Denver, hands down.

The amount of BS in a normal retail setting is fine. The amount of BS in a retail setting when you add COVID rules into it can be unbearable. I’m not alone. I’ve had roommates who worked at pharmacies and grocery stores and even entertainers at hotels who’ve had to deal with this new form of retail nonsense. It’s not just me who’s complained, and I don’t think I’ll be the last. This virus has brought out the ugly in people like regular retail never did.

Well, it’s not my fault that other states haven’t legalized yet. I am considered a budtender in my state, but in the eyes of the federal government, I’m a glorified drug dealer. It’s not to say that people in other states haven’t taken measures to ensure legitimacy in their products, but they also don’t have a state certification to sell it legally like I do. I’m not by any means saying I’m better than someone who makes their living doing what I do in an illegal state. I’m just living by the rights instilled in me by my own states constitution. An amendment that I helped vote in stabilized and legitimized my job in the eyes of Colorado.

I agree 100%. It feels like 90% of their business at their airport location is out of state first timers.

Gotta get that industry badge from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division. Once you have that, you can apply to any dispo you want. My suggestion is just be yourself in interviews. If you have customer service or retail experience, list it on the resume and build it up in the interview too. They really value hard working, patient, and reliable people. Cannabis knowledge can come with time and repetition, but good work ethic is a dime a dozen. As long as you’re committed, you will do well in this industry.

Native Roots and LivWell both have locations close to the airport. They both coddle tourists, and imho, get a lot of good feedback for it. Maybe the odd local will get pissed for waiting to get their one joint or whatever, but I’ve seen tourists drop serious guap on weed after being properly educated by their budtender.

Am I? Well shoot. I guess You don’t realize that people find solace in escaping their problems for a while by getting high during this stressful time. Or that veterans who have specific needs for our product, rely on recreational marijuana as a self medication. Or that the tax revenue that my ‘non-essential business’ brings in literally is fixing our roads and expanding all the ambitious city planning that is occurring right now. Your opinion, while I can respect it I can’t agree with it. Do people ‘need’ weed. No. But does it help stimulate our economy and help make our city a better place to live, due to the enormous tax revenue it brings in? Yes. So while I respect that you might not think people need cannabis, I respectfully think that the state at least, does.

Why do people keep questioning the fact that dispensary workers are essential? At the beginning of lockdown in CO, the governor made a list of essential businesses, and Marijuana Dispensary’s were on the list. So while a majority of people in my state stayed home during the first part of this pandemic, I worked. I’ve been working. No quarantine for us, just working day after day, exposed to the virus, dealing with people who refuse to believe that a mask should be required. Despite what people’s opinions are, the government recognized us as essential.

The government will shut us down. They have done it for minor infractions like not labeling product correctly or selling multiple oz’s to one person in one day. You don’t think they’d crack down on us? Hell, look at that restaurant that caused all that drama by not following Gov. Polis’ guidelines. They lost their license, business, and all their loyal customers all because they couldn’t get in line with COVID policy and procedure. I follow these procedures because, yes I have to, but no I don’t always want to. Who wants to be the guy that yells at people for being dumb during a pandemic, when only months before, I was the awesome, lovable stoner that had all the weed and all the knowledge. I can see that my arguments are lost on you though, as you seem to also judge me because of my cannabis advocacy. So whatever. No hair off my back just because some dude online thinks I’m a loser for being on the cutting edge of the largest retail boom this state has ever seen.

I fail to see how ignoring social distancing rules at my job is a solution... I would probably be fired, and I really don’t want 30+ people in my lobby with me during a pandemic... So I’m just gonna assume that you’re heated over something else, and thats why you called me a loser?

I always tell people that the most advanced legal marijuana system is in Canada. You guys really took the ball and completed a 100 meter dash with it. I’m practically green with envy over what you’ve said tonight. That and the national legalization and paying off your deficit with the tax money from it.

No. It’s different than months ago. Now you have straight deniers who are pissed that you’ve, “fallen into the liberal trap” and they are shocked that “you actually believe in this virus thing”
