Fumaos no
Good video!
My question is… I have a CDL and a CCL. Does that mean no Cannabis for me?
@okey dokey “Does nothing for pain”? GTFOOH with that nonsense…
okey dokey um excuse you but how about you back your bus up. I myself, have chronic pain from two back surgeries and being an incomplete quadriplegic. I’d either A: be hooked to at least oxy maybe something else or B: dead because I would’ve offed myself. I’m neither because of Cannabis, it’s the best thing I could’ve done for myself.
Yes because you cant be under the influence while driving DOT will still do drug test and traffic stop and give you dui for being medicated
@Tiffany Shadley Haul Kinda Girl not if he gets stop by DOT
@Cobra not when it comes to DOT (department of transportation)
I’m in Illinois 🤩💯🤑😎😜
Im sorry
Me Too, Evanston 😄
CRESCO LOBBIED ILLINOIS POLITICIANS FOR NO HOMEGROW ALLOWED!
You mean bribed Illinois Politicians for no homegrown allowed .
True. Its only a 200 dollar fine though. In iowa you get jail time. Just don’t grow to much and you won’t get caught lol.
TEGRITY WEED
they want a captive market with little competition!. frankly I think the owners of the grow ops and the retailers should be taken out and caned!.
Christian Calderon just keep ur mouth shut and grow ur own and if u do don’t brag to anyone Keep it a secret lol.
Preventing home grow, is legalized cornering of a market. With legal and BILLION dollar impacts
You can grow…25 miles away from dispensaries. In Nevada. I grow anyway. Save money.
Or just grow it anyways and pay $200 if you’re ever caught, it’s literally cheaper than buying legal weed
Green light ahead.
Crazy how many people they locked up and traumatized over this ND now they legalize it like they didn’t beat people for doing this a year or two ago
Aaron Rodriguez they legalised it because politicians are weed addicts
@Matthew Vu They legalised it because politicians are money addicts. They don’t care about public health, only public taxes.
Don’t forget you can’t grow your own,in Illinois. I know when Wisconsin does homegrown is going to be there.
They should all now be freed
dale gribble I don’t smoke number one, number two all you people that go on and on about legalising MJ are no doubt wake and bakers
Where can we smoke it?
Can’t do it in public… but will open up bars and other special place for smoking. Chicago is doing that downtown by spring 2020.
we need one of them weed shops here in rosiclare
I’m a big fan of this Co. Unfortunately, the Cannabis space has had a brutal 2019. To see this promising sector fall, as the market flies, is a real bummer. I believe things will turn around or, at least, the blood loss will end soon.
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HOME GROW
@Jesse Vang exactly….plus why sit inline for 4 hours? An 8th for 65 bux plus tax? I’ll pass
There’s big billboard signs in Reno Nevada $25 eighths.
Get Your Medical marijuana Card you Can Grow Four Plants
get a medical card and you can grow 5 plants, or move to oregon and grow 12 mature plants with 12 more in veg and 24 clones and are allowed something like 6 ozs of dried and cured bud to kept at home!. unlike Illinos where you are allowed 5 plants, and only 30 grams in your possession!.
Quentin Kirk how do you get a medical card
WHAT ABOUT FL!!!!!!!!!! WHEN???
What about the jobs are they hiring for bud trimmers?
THOMAS HALL The job reviews on the website indeed jobs say the Joliet Illinois location is really bad and toxic to work at
@Jessie Gutierrez okk ty that’s the only spot in illinois
what a scumb bag having such control over permits!!!
Home grown or bust
i know my comment might go unnoticed but can we try to boycott this company their making money of off all the people the locked for this and now a white man is running the fucking drug game lets not keep giving business to these wankers who lock us up for using it
Fake news story, they are not getting 1/2 lb. per plant indoors, $1500 a plant 😂😂😝 yeah right if we let you tell it, more like $500 a plant
Also they didn’t show any fully mature plants ready for harvest and what they did show where massive plants in what looked to be about 20 gal pots spread wide under a trelis net to creat a scrog
@Steve Benson says the guy who can’t even do simple addition
Ty bois for this cringe, I was laying in bed and did not expect it
@SoulSeeker 311 You literally explained it to him exactly how it is and he just said “you don’t know nothing” lmao
They better stop the neem oil sooner then pre flower other wise they are selling neem oil in the flower which has been shown to cause chs cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome
No one is getting 33%return on concentrate production that is false information the best and most consistent i have seen so far is 20 to 25% max 27%. So saying 1 pound will creat a 3rd pound rosin is false
When we can grow our own we will have the freedom to share it freely. Both markets will become irrelevant
Do not buy their garbage. They paid bribes to keep it illegal for you to grow
It’s only a 200 dollar fine if caught growing 5 plants
Illinois just got stupider.
Marijuana makes one stupid in the first place. Mix that with their gun violence problem and it be bound to end up being marijuana war zone with even more violence.
If you think it won’t happen then you’re already stupid.
*I saw a million times on COPS they pull over a black guy or some meth head white dude, would say they smell marijuana, then search the car, then find it, and arrest them and charge them. And now soccer mom’s teachers, doctors, and any mainstream suburbianite can walk in and buy marijuana in a store, people don’t make any sense.*
Bunch of hypocrites! Must use our meds and you can’t grow your own! Catch me if you can!
A little dope can give a sad fellow a little hope…
Im stealing this saying. Hilarious!!
“…Pursuit Of Hempiness…”
It’s in the constitution…somewhere…right?
White folks so full of it
I had Cresco pre rolls and anything with a THC above 30 will send you into severe psychosis (warning). You know, a feeling of doom, terror, extreme paranoia, involuntary muscle and hand movements and auditory / visual hallucinations. Not fun, very scary.
Well you have to know your own limits. It is not for everybody. Plenty of people have a great time with it, but it is good to know whether you can handle it or not.
Very insightful.
People if you are not allowed to grow your own you need to all write and call your politicians and let them know they will not be elected again until they allow home growing…
It’s only a 200 dollar fine if caught 😂. I say grow anyway. I am once I get this bigger place.
Say NO to McPot! Support craft cannabis!
It means extremely high prices for flower at dispensaries and everyone will continue to get it from there guy down the block for 1/2 the price.. lol at least it’s legal now
Yeah well growomg is $200 fine but you het yo pwm weed
@SuperBabyMario0C compared to last year where you could rack up countless felonies for a grow lol I’ll take the chance of a fine for $200 then alex
Thats right.. illinois prices crazy ..this state rips people off every chance it can ..
90 plus dollars for an 8th.. 35 40 bucks from guy down street forcing people to buy black market
I was wondering why their was so job openings in Indiana?
Can we get some down in collinsville?? They sell seed pot here!😂😂😂
don’t forget how they chop up all the leaves on the plant, and use it as the majority of the shake they are selling. but anyone who knows anything about pot knows that leaves are not shake, shake is what falls off the buds and left in the bottom of the bag. the cresco owner is laughing all the way to the bank, as they are screwing the medical user, since they have gone legal retailers are letting the recreational users buy up all the stock. i went to the dispensary yesterday and stood in line only to find I had 2 choices, one ways 20 dollars a gram and the other was a 1/4 oz for 160 dollars. well I went with the 20 dollars a gram stuff, only to find I could only buy 1 gram. I am too god damn sick to be standing in lines, only to find that it has all been a waste of time and energy!.
So glad. Now my rent in Denver will go down.
I think the added temporary interneuronal synapse connections thanks to cannabis and especially the psychedelics are literal wiring upgrades to our brains that can be made permanent through normal neuroplasticity learning. These new connections give parts of our brains new access to both our current sensory perceptions, heightening them and making us more appreciative of everything we experience, while also giving parts of our brains new access to memories making even our memories heightened with literally new mental perspectives on them (explaining ‘flashbacks’). It’s like a physical empathy, giving our brains the ability to have new and more diverse perspectives on everything, past and present.
These substances widely have the reputation as creativity-enhancers but I think actually they’re empathy-enhancers creating new perspectives, giving artists greater ability to imagine how a wider audience will perceive their work while it’s in progress, making it more creative as a result.
Legalize, release, expunge and give industry advantages to the minorities most harmed.
Why does Cresco have such dry cannabis? I mean by the time you open a “jar” it’s so dry it crumbles in your hands…. absolutely no moisture at ALL! If you have a card GROW YOUR OWN!!! Glad to see the smuck behind the chuck!
Weedborn’s CBD products are amazing!
