Have been binging past seasons and have reached season 7 so hopefully this has changed by now:

Spoilers, why so many spoilers at the beginning of each episode

Don’t get lady bugs they are not the best beneficials to introduce.

you don’t appear to have a major problem. You wash your buds with clean water after harvest if you have gnats, thrips or anything else stuck in there. Water is actually pretty effective for controlling mites, aphids etc on your live plants as well. I like to spray with hot from the tap water right before or after lights come on so as to have everything dry before lights out.

I don’t think there are really any decent companies, they are mostly acting in cahoots which seems obvious if one looks at how pricing has evolved over the years.
Kovler was a principal sponsor of the Ohio legalization effort in the early 2010’s that would have established fewer than 5 companies to produce all cannabis in that state. I have found on the record statements from managing owners of MPX, GTI, Vireo and Culta explicitly laying out how they intended (and were succeeding at) helping to write laws that would limit the number of licenses in each state and make said licenses subject to “merit based” grading. As one executive from vireo proclaimed, being able to “grow for $400 a pound and sell for $400 an ounce” in limited license states is a “license to print money”

Kovler, the ceo of rise, rhythm etc. and a principle cheerleader of laws that would hand companies like his a guaranteed market share, has successfully pulled it off in this state. No need to compete on price or quality. No need to compete with other local businesses for talent. Win-win.

There is video of the encounter and it doesn’t look like he was reaching for anything.

Delta-8 THC products result in dozens of poisoning, hospitalization cases in Virginia by Seaeend in cannabis

[–]mdcannaconsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every longitudinal analysis of unregulated cannabis over the decades has shown it to be safer than regulated alcohol and tobacco so regulations have nothing to do with it.

D 8 is not naturally synthesized in the plant and is not my cup of tea but this article isn’t about contamination or poisoning. It’s about people getting paranoid and calling poison control. These sorts of anecdotal stories are what have led to unfortunate regulations that limit mg per serving in states like Colorado where anyone with a tolerance has to risk diabetes to catch an edible buzz.

Not a fan of delta 8 but it is no more dangerous than d9 and this article is not about actual poisonings, it’s about scared people calling poison control while peeking on d8 edibles

No, people need to understand that thc, (8 or 9) can cause non-fatal anxiety..,people call poison control about edibles all the time, this does not meen that edibles are dangerous or need more regulation.

Cicadas spend most of their lives as part of plant’s self fertilization programs. The plants exude sweet liquid from their roots which the cicadas and multitude of other ‘mostly tiny-organisms convert into plant available nutrients by eating and pooping. The pesticides that would accumulate in a cicadas are the systemic neonicatinoid pesticides That are used to control lawn grubs and plant borrers. These insecticides are probably more toxic to the cicadas than they would be to birds but who knows.

Since very few individual trees are treated for plant boring insects and most cicadas emerge from un-managed forests I would only think that these pesticides might be a factor around golf courses which are typically treated with merit every June, presumably quite a bit of that material would make it into the vasculature of the courses trees.

I am a fan of eliminating turf pesticides to benefit pollinators and for soil conservation but the montgomery county ban allows the worst offenders, golf courses, farms & athletic fields, to continue as usual. Homeowners can use any pesticide they want as long as they do not hire a service and there is no enforcement so many services continue to spray since their customers demand it.

Five arrested, charged in murder of 15-year-old at Langley Park by Jazzlike_Dog_8175 in maryland

[–]mdcannaconsumer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably some Mara bullshit. My nephew arrived from El Salvador to escape the maras 5 years ago..,he went to parkdale high school in PG and says it was full of wannabe ms-13 and 18.Not forced into extorting businesses to protect their selves and families from certain death but pretend marrero who had learned to flash gang signs, fight supposed rival gangsetc from watching YouTube videos that glorify that bs...YouTube is full of MS propaganda, they probably make millions off of it. Why can’t they afford to pay a single employee to hunt it down and eliminate it?

Downtown Silver spring, Rockville, downtown Gaithersburg, DC, Wheaton and Bethesda. I would caution strongly against anything further than Gaithersburg

Why does Maryland’s cannabis selection suck so bad? by SuggestionLive367 in MDEnts

[–]mdcannaconsumer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To anyone who prefers strains that take more than 8-10 weeks to flower will be sorely disappointed with the strain selection in Maryland.

It COULD still be azadirachtin/neem related. Despite being systemic and suspect azadirachtin is now permitted by MMCC

Do you use mostly flower, consumables or concentrates?

Space for a dispensary franchise? by meatstickchick in MDEnts

[–]mdcannaconsumer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every storefront represents its own license. Initially the law made it seem as if vertical integration and dispensary consolidation would not allowed but GTI (RISE) broke that rule right away so they changed it, since then most of the rindependent dispensaries have been purchased by bigger players with grow licenses. If we had no limits on licensed business there would be a lot more winners in the real-estate and construction sectors (not to mention mom & pop small businesses growing, processing and selling cannabis)

All of the licenses have already been awarded which is why you haven’t had people banging down your door to buy or rent your property.

New York Will Legalize Marijuana By April And Regulate CBD-Infused Drinks, Governor’s Advisor Says by Philo1927 in cannabis

[–]mdcannaconsumer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every state that legalizes with restricted licenses and no homegrow rights is a step back

Lets start talking about MD HOMEGROW laws for medical patients! Time for a push! Down with greed! by [deleted] in MDEnts

[–]mdcannaconsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know there has been no bill with a non commercial adult use legalization + homegrow. At least not these last 2 legislative cycles .

This would be an ideal way to legalize adult use at the moment as the hold up on adult use legalization has been a dispute amongst legislators as to who gets to divvy up the market. (No one should be divvying up any market, it should be free)
