A Former Dealer Describes How The Weed Business Has Changed Since Legalization | The Connect

[@caradosoangelo3323]

Psychedelics did wonders in my life. Over the course of my life, I've suffered from uncontrollable, depression, anxiety, alcohol, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for a long time and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. This is something that really needs to be used globally to help people with similar health challenges. I've been sober for 6 years and have my life back.

Can you help me with a reliable source? I have suffered from years of addiction, anxiety, and severe ptsd, thinking I got my panic attacks under control, they've come back with a vengeance, and I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't. It's absolutely crippling me, I'm in Switzerland and it is hard to get a reliable source here. Really need!

Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent.

I was a drug dealer for a time and it wasn't because I was lazy it was because I came from many generations of poverty and needed to make it on my own and the jobs I was capable of getting weren't paying the bills.

[@DavidB67192]

Man, taking me back. First time I ever drove to the emerald triangle I drove non stop for about 12 hours, give or take 2, down I-5 and passed out just after crescent city when I was finally along the coast line. Passed out on a cliff over looking the ocean. Remember waking up with my buddy who had come with the next morning, brushing our teeth, smoking, eating an apple, and using a trash can that was about 10 or 15 ft from my passenger side and thinking "Wow. I never saw that trash can when I pulled in last night." Keep that in the back of your mind for later. We got the road but we still had another 3 or 4 hours I think it was, had to get through Eureka and then it was still a ways to go, until we got to Rio Dell.... Wait. Was it Rio Dell?... Yeah. I think. There was another town literally just across a river that it was attached to that was a completely separate town. One side of the river was one town and the other side was a totally different town. I remember that. We smoked a lot back then so forgive my memory. Lol. I'm like 95 percent sure it's Rio Dell. So I finally show up at this glass blowing shop outside of town that I'm thinking is in the middle of nowhere (I didn't realize that everywhere is kinda the middle of nowhere out there yet) at the time but it really wasn't. However, the phrase about a tree falling in the woods goes through my head and I start to feel a little sketch and thoughts of different scenarios start rolling through my head. I start looking for alternative ways in and out of this complex and stuff but the whole time I don't say anything to my buddy about it because he don't need to know how I feel. That'll distract him from my directions and I need him to take any command I give without question. He my responsibility and I know that. Only thing I told him was "well, we're here." And like every freaking person you will ever call we waited. I was parked there and waiting for a half hour, start wondering if I'm in the right spot and shit, and I'm about to leave when I look and I see dude coming out this shop door. Was there the whole time just put his phone down right before we got there like a stoner would. I'm still on edge though because I literally have every dime I own in me and you don't make a trip like that for a single ounce. Most ppl say 5 pounds or more to make it worth it. I was there for one though. The price was at least $200 better then I'd of got up here though and they do a farmers pound which is like 12 grams more then a normal pound, plus all the free hash and stuff guy would send me home with, and the reputation that was gonna come once ppl new I had bud straight from Humboldt, all made the single lb worth it for me. So I'm getting a bit paranoid wondering if I was getting set up but thankfully no. Not at all. In fact, some of the nicest ppl I ever met for sure. Long as you don't mess with how they put food on the table. Which is why they all voted no to legalization down there for the longest time too btw. Haven't talked to any of them since legalization but I sure hope they all are doing ok. I'm sure lots of ppl aren't and must have lost a lot. My prayers go out to all them who legalization hurt and I hope it wasn't to bad :( but anyways. Before I get to distracted. I go walking into this shop with my friend and dude man, through two double doors, into like a small front office kinda room and then through another set of double doors, and right away my mind is blown and I'm to flabbergasted to even be paranoid anymore. Immediately just forgot a that. Because right there, there in the middle of the big open floor space in the middle of the shop, right in front of me is a mound of weed about the size of a pick up or a suburban or your mom. ahhh. Gotcha bitch ;) but no joke huge pile of wacky tobacky all stackied up and it smells wonderful. Then there were some stairs going up the left wall to an upstairs loft where there was a couch and a bed for security throughout the night and stuff and just a dope place to kick it and smoke. But also, and the thing that really blew my socks off, there was this 14ft tree of a plant they had up against the wall directly under the smoking area that I could reach over the railing up there and touch the very top crown on that thing and, no joke, that bud was easily the size of a pineapple or like a tightly packed bedroll or a thin sleeping bag. Just unbelievable to me at the time. Only twice in my life have I ever literally been so amazed I was speechless. Grew up in Kansas and the first time was when I was 11 summer before 6th grade when I woke up the next day after flying into Portland airport when I moved to Oregon and I saw a mountain covered in fir trees. The kids there never understood that. My first lesson on how the world isn't all the same. And the second time also happened to be about trees. Or a tree I should say. Lol. The stalk was at least 8 or 9 inches at the base. Easily. That was my first trip and I did that 2 to 3 times every week for about 4 months. It's all about price breaks back then and as you pick up more the price per gram should drop. 10 grand for a 5 pack was where it was at. You had to know someone who grew or your best friend knew him. That was it. And when you nickle and dime a lb out every 2 or 3 days at 3.5grams for $40 paying $2000 a lb is a dream. and that was my goal the entire time from the first time I started until the end. To get a Cali connect and at least once pick up a 5 pack. 4 months in and I'm finally there. I went down and got my one like normal and guy had a deal on another for 2 grand. I did the math and with what I still had and what I was gonna make off those 2 I was there. After almost 4 years I was there. finally. Came home the day after I got back and found the window busted and my stash gone. At that point legalization was just starting, everyone had medical cards for stupid shit like asthma and what. And weed does not help with asthma. I don't care who says it does. Every legitimate asthmatic person I have ever known, my stage 3 COPD mother being one of them, can't smoke it. Makes it worse. And everyone who ever had a medical card for asthma I ever knew never complained before about it and never complain about it now either. Since recreational is legal they don't need to complain. Imagine that. Lol. But yeah. Northern Cali. Thats where it was at. So beautiful, weather was phenomenal, good ppl, and the only place you'll see a billboard selling 100 turkey bags in the middle of may but no turkey farm anywhere for miles and miles and miles. Since then I've always said I will retire there. But there you go. My first trip to Cali. Oh yeah! That trash can!. So, when. I got to the glass shop and saw the pile and the tree, right. We went up to the loft for a couple hours and while we were testing to see who had the better functioning respiratory system my plug told me about a news article he had just read in the paper the weekend before. This guy drank a bunch of mushroom tea with his best friend of like 20+ years and tripped out so bad his friends face morphed into the devil he said. Which was the reason he was holding his friends dead and now faceless body in his hands when the cops showed up. Told the cops he tore it off and threw it in the trashcan outside his truck. Same trashcan I threw my apple I ate that morning when me and my buddy woke up. Yup. Totally parked and slept in the same spot a week later. Only time I parked there. Lol

In my experience, most of the “hardened criminals” who have committed crazy ass crimes, are the nicest, most down-to-earth, loyal people you will ever meet. Definitely a little crazy but these people know how to cherish friendships EDIT: Also wanted to mention the prevalence of the Russian Mafia in the California Northwest. They ran/run a ton of weed between California and Texas/New Mexico, among other places. These m’fers were the worst of the worst, very dangerous. Not afraid to steal or intimidate competitors.

This was a pretty accurate description of what happened to a lot of us who spent time in Humboldt throughout the 2000’s and 2010’s. My ex’ family owns 400 acres in Humboldt and were originally from the east coast….a majority of their enormous crop yields would be sent east coast and they made a killing. His numbers were all accurate with those times. People talking it being inaccurate were either not born yet or have never spent time in Humboldt or surrounding areas. It is a different world up there. Glad I experienced it but would never want to live there again. 😂

100% it was pretty decent up until about '15-'16 when that big dump happened initially.. Then in 2021.. Jeeez man :(

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

[@ConnieGriffith-u4z]

I think weed is still illegal in some states because of the privatized prison system lobbying to keep their steady flow of inmates (product.) Decriminalization of weed statewide is probably the only way to lead to legalization.

As someone who lives in BC I can tell you the black market is alive and well. Why would we go pay inflation prices on dirt weed that’s mass produced? I’d rather go buy from the guys that grow and sell. Better weed, better prices, helps the community more then some might think. That money stays local, not in the government system.
