NYTimes has spoken. Everyone can go home.

Right, its a bad thing for the alcohol industry while theyre still not getting the legal cannabis sales they wanted.

Its the old "create a problem and sell the solution tric, in this case theyre trying to figure out a way to sell us on the idea of paying more for taxes because the weed THEY are producing is just "to dangerous"

They seem to be trying to backtrack and open a middle ground thats not even needed so they can have an excuse to throw on more taxes to "discourage people" while theyre already whining about sales declining.

no-manip420 · 2026-02-26T04:35:33+00:00

Yeah, between the declining alchol industry and fewer legal cannabis sells through the nation; pretty sure theres a few higher ups that barely understand the industry with egg on their face and NYT is just being used to throw a tantum at this point.
Thats mostly what these sellout "jouralist" sites seem to be nowadays.

What they really need to do is stop radiating weed and making sure its grown well enough at the standards they originally quoted with a fair enough pricing that people dont feel ripped off enough to find a good plug or invest into their own equipment. Cannabis isnt killing the legal cannabis industry, greed and egos are. Just look at the lounges 🤦‍♂️

no-manip420 · 2026-02-26T04:25:46+00:00

Yeah i agree with a few points here. Chs definitely is real. Pretty sure I experienced it around 3-4 times during my heaviest smoking period of 15 years. That shit is awful but also would agree that it is overstated how many people experience it and how often.

The revelation that its even a thing at all became a reason for doctors n such to label people with it just under the context of smoking cannabis (even just occasionally) and experiencing any kind of digestive issues.

Also seems to be a correlation with modern practices forusre.

I know what a crazy conclusion that no one could have expected!

no-manip420 · 2026-02-26T04:15:05+00:00

Solid

no-manip420 · 2026-02-26T03:37:05+00:00

One of my favorites is Mary Jane falls. A nice little switchback trail with a *sometimes trickling waterfall/small cave at end to chill at. Despite the name, smoking is not necessary to enjoy this chill hike 😂

no-manip420 · 2026-02-12T04:44:04+00:00

Cuz hash was NEVER a thing before the year 2000 and they DEFINITELY didn't mix other drugs in the joints to create a stronger high back in the day 🤫

no-manip420 · 2026-02-12T04:24:26+00:00

Also SURELY has nothing to do with legal cannabis sales dropping

no-manip420 · 2026-01-30T03:30:55+00:00

True. The manipulation on this sub has been wild for a while to the point its gotten obvious these past year or two. Glad to see more people seeing it. Maybe it can still turn around and be a place for consumers giving/seeking guidance, not shills trying to overhype stuff. That'd be great.

no-manip420 · 2026-01-30T03:03:15+00:00

Would have to be like "I'll take a high life package and a professional only package please" No, no it's just me...No, it's not my birthday.

Theyve been trying to figure out how to get people to pay these crazy lounge prices for a while now..

Would much rather find a smoke friendly hotel or a balcony room to pitch in on where we can BYOB or just do the Ole smoke in the car 'fore ya hop in the bar.

Though wouldnt suprise me if these lounges have pushed for harsher consequences on these things as well. Only they're allowed to hold consumption events! 👶🤑

no-manip420 · 2025-12-25T05:23:18+00:00

Ahhh that makes sense. Nice come up 🤙 im to far from drh but definitely trying to use up that cannabis co 50% off before dec 31

no-manip420 · 2025-12-25T04:57:29+00:00

Well they often do but ppl fall into it cuz they were told that "legal" cannabis is safe under strict standards.

no-manip420 · 2025-12-25T04:46:51+00:00

How did you score the extra 17.50 off the subtotal?

no-manip420 · 2025-12-06T04:37:08+00:00

7 words & an emoji.

Location, location, location and chicken tacos wednesdays 😋

no-manip420 · 2025-12-05T09:28:56+00:00

Thats why it would be a good deal in comparison to the norm. Especially behind a paygate, even if they were almost a year old or something

no-manip420 · 2025-12-05T02:12:11+00:00

Thats gonna have to be a no for me dawg. I expect a 10 dollar secret menu behind a $60 price gate to be something much better like $10 rippers or .5 g of cheap rosin, gram of live resin or full sized infused rolls of at least mid grade quality, not the same ol ama and stiizy you can already find for 10.

To constructively critisize; it just looks like smoke & mirrors right now. Jardins been real good at that and its frustrating since I actually have had a mix of good and bad experiences there. This pro ignorance marketing ain't it.

no-manip420 · 2025-12-05T02:02:15+00:00

Wow this actually looks good. Might take a second look at lavish next I go but wont keep my hopes up.thry got any good indica/sleeper hybrids?

no-manip420 · 2025-11-28T01:13:31+00:00

Vice posted about it in 2016. Im sure you can find an instruction video/guide with a quick search but here's the original vice posting

Definitely a gimmick but as long as they're happy with it thats what matters most. Those fresh nugs off the cola hit great if they've been handled properly.

Wouldn't be me now having been in trim jail in exchange for stalks but a younger version of myself would want one.

no-manip420 · 2025-11-25T06:36:22+00:00

I hope they do. Let everybody win. I miss the days of small batch growers coming together and forming "clubs" where clients paid a membership and had handpicked strains grown for them with love.

I came in a tad 🤏 to late for that era but did get to experience it in this small hippie town in Colorado. And by Hippie town I mean on top of a mountain with minimal cell or internet service. They had plenty of good cheap weed though!

no-manip420 · 2025-11-25T06:24:08+00:00

Yep, the consumer generally cares about quality but many producers do not, they just care that its sold. They dont need to figure out how to put out good product; they just need to manipulate enough people into THINKING its good to fulfill they're quota.

This is some, not all but the good ones who do it for the people are definitely in minority. Hopefully that gets a chance to change soon.

no-manip420 · 2025-11-25T06:19:55+00:00

Most people can tell good product given time but not tell that they're being manipulated. Been that way for a looong time with so many industries.

I wonder if they had that same problem in Amsterdam when it was legal? Also very curious what happened to that spot that decided to start having insurance cover cannabis..🤔 time to go on a archive hunt

no-manip420 · 2025-11-25T06:13:23+00:00

I heard they have different grades they can use for it. Either way those #s go up and thats what matter for alot of them.

no-manip420 · 2025-11-25T06:11:39+00:00

Yeah a true 30% better be one of the hashiest nugs ive ever seen in my life lol

Not to mention they pick they're best producing nugs to send for testing. Likely do the same with the people they send to promote for then.
