Back on July 1st 2021, after literally a decade fighting CT finally went legal with cannabis. It was awesome. We all sang, danced, cheered, and toked in celebration of this event. Patients could finally grow their own medicine and have an ability to share with others. But now the state is looking to take it all back and add criminal charges for not abiding to the new potential … [Read more...] about No Backsies! #GiftGang
No gifts?
What sort of Mickey Mouse, ironfisted type organization would want to ruin Christmas, birthdays, and anniversaries? And while they’re at it, they want to kill a few charities too. And what about patients who can’t afford their meds? What’s being created isn’t legalization, it’s prohibition with extra steps. I’d like to bring attention to CT Raised Bill 5329. Lines 260 … [Read more...] about No gifts?
“Keep the faith”
Image from Oaksterdam University “Keep the faith.” Is what he always said when talking about the cannabis movement. I have to give praise to Richard Lee… The man, the myth, the legend. Richard Lee is a guy who doesn’t get talked about much anymore… Who is he? Why would you care who he is? Well, I’ll tell you why. Because he started the conversation. That’s why. It’s that … [Read more...] about “Keep the faith”
Raised Limits… The Riddles of The Sphinx
Hi kids, let’s put on our thinking caps and test our skills of inquiry. Riddle me this Batman… What raises a ceiling yet can’t fill the room? The CTMMP. Patients with an allotment of 2.5 oz were increased to 3oz and now again to 3.5oz. for the remainder of their certification. However a patient may NOT purchase more than 2.5oz at any one time. How is one allowed 3.5 but can … [Read more...] about Raised Limits… The Riddles of The Sphinx
Happy Borg
I once described the HighBazaar event as being hosted in Gargamel’s castle with Ogres and Hempirial guards. But something happened… The snow came and the wind blew. It knocked down a tent that had once hosted a couple dozen exhibitors and will not be replaced. With the happy tents all gone now, only it’s true face remains. That cube on the hill looks like The Borg. But it isn’t … [Read more...] about Happy Borg
Weed Bank
The cannabis industry is like any other industry out there. They need a place to put their money. Just like you and I, most businesses put their money in the bank. Usually, in these banks where business entities keep their money, they can obtain business loans to grow their businesses. However, this becomes a complication for anyone making a living within the cannabis industry. … [Read more...] about Weed Bank
CT Lottery Update
Some notable points from the HIGHBAZAAR resource center… One of the great things that HighBazaar has been doing over the last 3 weeks is talking about the state’s social equity portion for licensing of the legal Cannabis Market, which is set to roll out later this year. If you are looking to apply and get into the lottery, here are some things you’ll need to know. Social … [Read more...] about CT Lottery Update
A Union in Cannabis
If there was ever an industry that needed a union, it’s the Connecticut cannabis industry. Too many times employers in this industry have used 280e as an excuse to cut costs and staff unnecessarily. Employers often expect employees to work towards their business dream while leaving them working for minimum wage or slightly above minimum wage, without benefits. But there’s an … [Read more...] about A Union in Cannabis
Did anyone notice this elephant in the room? 280E
280E? Is that a Mercedes-Benz? No. Well yes it is, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. Most people would say something like “You’re in the medical/recreational marijuana business? You must be loaded!” Major misconception. Especially when considering that 280E stands in the way of dispensary/production business models. This is something that needs to be talked … [Read more...] about Did anyone notice this elephant in the room? 280E
Wings With A Kick by, The Munch Star
If you are anything like me, you love a good chicken wing. Well done and extra crispy so it’s all crunchy and yummy. Then taking those fabulous crunchy munchies and dripping them in wonderfully woven sauces of the sweets, the sours, and the spicy 🌶. I love them all and enjoy them individually. But sometimes, when done right, I like them all together… … [Read more...] about Wings With A Kick by, The Munch Star
