As cannabis sales soar, state regulators are investing in a new government-run laboratory that will check the safety and strength of cannabis products.
Yeah I feel you, I stepped in to a dispensary over here the other day and the just offered me a mixed oz of eights and some other shit for stupid cheap! Some of the shit was really good.
The gray market, not necessarily the black market anymore. That’s retail growers who can’t easily sell all their harvest, especially in Cali where bulk prices are very low, sell either direct to consumer or mail/drive pounds of product to resellers. Since it’s being fed by the retail market, the quality can be exceptional.
Can be hard to differentiate gray market product from black market product, but gray market means purchases in ounces/lbs at sub retail prices because supply is plentiful and risk is nil. THCA is also a technically legal market nationality, although a few states closed the loophole, but you can still buy well priced highs and get them delivered via usps.
Farm Bill is the best thing to happen to weed! I’ve been getting an ounce a month on subscription from Hoku Seed Co. since they started it in early 2023. Shows up in my mailbox in Texas. Occasionally i buy something a little hotter from flow gardens, eight horses hemp, and a few others. Couple of years ago I bought 5 pounds - some cbd, some cbd/thc mix (Franklin). Was in 2 boxes on my porch when i got home. Glad the neighborhood kids didn’t get it!
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about 8hh but everything I’ve gotten had been good. Franklin was terrible and we were happy to have it. I think i still have a bag somewhere.
Yeah agreed, most of the thca gets picked so early that it can lack some of the character of really good stock standard thc (if they let the trichomes mature too much the natural coversion of thca into thc starts), but I can’t argue with how easy it is to get really good shit. Plus there’s so much competition it’s really driving down prices and up quality in retail too.

Eight horses hemp oooof. They have some of the worst bud I’ve gotten 😆. Based on what I’ve seen of “Franklin” though it’s probably incredible.
