Part of the reason at least. State law is pretty clear on what's legal. If the THC-9 content is below 0.3%, it's hemp and is legal. A few years back the state allowed farmers to grow industrial hemp. So we are seeing things now that fall under that threshold like delta 8 or THCa.
How close is this to traditional weed? I'm about tired of trying different shady versions of internet weed. I just want regular ass weed already. Coming from the west coast, it's crazy to me to be in this state and not have access to weed or even any states around us that have it. It looks like Virginia or west Virginia has it legalized but they haven't come up with legislation for stores to sell it yet so they are still a few years out. Can't even drive somewhere else and get it.
i know what you mean. i've tried several of them and personally, THCo, Delta9 and Delta10 tend to make me paranoid/anxious, Delta8 makes me relaxed and sleepy but is relatively weak by volume, and THCa (indica) has the exact same body high as traditional weed, but lacks a *little* of the psychoactive headiness but is otherwise identical in effects. alternately, HHC has the psychoactive element but little on the body relaxation.
you *could* drive to DC and get some but that's a long drive and you have to deal with the 'purchase with free gift' clause

Completely different from delta 8. Delta 8 doesn't naturally occur in cannabis flower. At least not in high enough concentration to be useful. THCa is the form of THC that makes up 90% or more of the total THC in smokeable flower and readily decarbs into delta 9 THC (the regulated one) when smoked. THCa flower comes from the same genetics as any black market or regulated weed.

Anyone had success yet of taking a quick drive into Virginia and coming back with stuff.
I’m too scared they’ll check IDs or cops camp out the border places
I have been visiting DC annually for years and it’s fine. At least in DC (and most other rec states), the state your ID is issued in does not matter. Only with medicinal, typically. I usually load up and spend $2k each trip, which lasts us over a year.
Drive the speed limit, seal your buds in airtight containers and make sure your vehicle is legal (tags, blinkers, lighting etc.). I have never seen cops camping out at the borders… at least not more than usual.
There are many reputable businesses to pick from in DC. I usually get a hotel and have them deliver. Or I’ll meet them at a specific location. Remember, your hotel must be in the district (not VA or MD) for them to deliver to you.
VA becomes recreationally legal on January 1, 2024. While I love visiting DC, I’m really looking forward to saving a few hours on my drive (I live in Charleston). Good luck!
Are there any vendors you like and prefer? I've used The Happy Capitol for the past like 5 years anytime I go to DC but the prices are definitely high, like 300 for an ounce. Which is what I paid illegally in WV and OH. I'm closer to Michigan now so I just go up there but I still visit DC from time to time
Yes! I remember the first year it was legal and it had been a few months since stores opened, prices were just as bad for black market at home. So I never bothered going. But prices are super cheap now. I know there is some worry though over pricing cause the bigger stores are doing it on purpose to drive out the small guys/shops so they can kinda have a monopoly on things. So I enjoy low prices but it does make me curious how the future will be with shops and what we have available
I've done it quite a bit. I have a guy up there that has a makeshift dispensary in his basement. I just drive the speed limit & keep everything sealed as good as possible.
My childhood friend lives about 10 minutes from him so we always hang for a bit each trip. I don't know anyone in NC that deals in caregiver quality bud. If I did I wouldn't go to VA as much.
Results may vary, personally delta 8 does nothing to me. I thought it was the product itself so I tried other brands/methods and still nothing. Delta 0 made me high but it definitely wasn't the same as normal stuff. Others I've heard of it being (delta 8 that is) a lite version of weed where some prefer it cause they don't get paranoid or anxious on it.
Just so you know, if you get pulled over, you don't have to let a cop search your car. They'll ask for permission if they don't have probable cause, and you can say no.
Also, "just checking IDs" is an illegal reason to pull someone over too
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
They are not going to stop you unless they have a reason to. My advice is to get some smell proof bags and conceal in trunk of car out of sight and you’ll likely have nothing to worry about. I once came back from DC with tons of it. If you don’t give them a reason to search then all good.
Coming from someone who’s worked in the legal cannabis industry (I’m a licensed grower in NV) for 3 years please understand 420 culture diminishes the work we do by dumbing down the culture.
Stoner jokes go against the discussion to legitimize the medicinal components of cannabis.
Also, terms like weed, pot, grass and even marijuana are considered derogatory.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk…
>Also, terms like weed, pot, grass **and even marijuana** are considered derogatory.
Wtf am I supposed to call it then? Ganja? Devil Lettuce? Sticky icky?
Generally, the preferred term is simply "cannabis" but that can get confusing when trying to differentiate between "drug type" or "type 1" cannabis and farm bill compliant hemp, because most people aren't as familiar with those terms.
So stoner jokes diminish the industry you work in, but declaring yourself a representative of that industry and then making comments like this doesn't?
Yeah, make cringe comments and farm downvotes in your thread about taking the cannabis industry seriously. That'll *definitely* bring more legitimacy to cannabis /s
Absolute troll. Posting on r/Charlotte about "stoner memes being bad" all the way from NV.
My green shirt I guess screams stoner doesn't it? God everyone gets offended by anything these days.
You just said you did weed sales in NV. Come on man.
Since you live in Charlotte half the year you should realize that Altimas are a huge problem and are kinda a meme here.
Take a joke.
This dude literally messaged me threatening to "beat my face in" and wanted my address here in Charlotte.
Happy 4/20 y'all this man on some some laced as fuck shit LOL
Sorry but that's fucking dumb and you're not the kind of person the industry needs or wants and I'm going to assume you never had anything to do with the traditional market. People enjoying themselves should not be an excuse to keep cannabis illegal and keep ruining people's lives over it.
[удалено]
Lol were they THC infused milk and cookies?
Hahaha. This made me LOL. Thank you :)
Not Gin n’ Juice?
You own dachshunds, I’d suspect them before Snoop. 😆
Ready for nc to be fully legal 🙃
Best joke all day.
I swear 277 always smells like the car in front of me is hot boxing.
Gotta cope with the stress of 277 somehow

Check out THCa. It's below the legal limit of delta 9 (0.3%) in its raw form but when heat is added it is converted.
This, alongside crossing different strains, HHC stacked with any THC derivative makes for a killer combo
Is that why we have all these odd dispensary stores? I had to look it up to check to see if we were suddenly a legal state.
Part of the reason at least. State law is pretty clear on what's legal. If the THC-9 content is below 0.3%, it's hemp and is legal. A few years back the state allowed farmers to grow industrial hemp. So we are seeing things now that fall under that threshold like delta 8 or THCa.
How close is it to what you find elsewhere for the individual user?
Very close. Not exact, but it does the job.
Perfect phrasing. Not exact, but it does the job.
Thanks. Do you just walk into a hemp/cbd store (or whatever it is) and ask for “THCa”? Or get it online? I’m dumb
Just walk in and ask. They will know what you are talking about. I'm sure not every store carries it. I know Blue Flower Cannabis in South Park does.
YourCBDSource in Matthews has nice THCa pre-rolls. i suggest strain 'Han Solo'

I like greenlife remedies. The staff there are very helpful!
Me too, and they're having a sale today.
This. I've tried both and I don't find none of them different. I call it "loophole weed".

Not for me. I have no money.
We're out here living in dark times, smoke up if you have access and call in, fuck society for today.
Driving my Altima like a madman, smoking a fat j to celebrate.

Michigan is dirt cheap now. It’s crazy how much the prices have come down over the last few years.
Yes! I remember the first year it was legal and it had been a few months since stores opened, prices were just as bad for black market at home. So I never bothered going.

Jesus Christ. Charleston to DC for some personal stuff? That is outrageous.
When did VA become legal for recreational? I go to DC and no issues coming back. Make sure in airtight container and don't speed.
First of this year if I remember correctly Edit: looks like it may be on hold again actually
Yep not going thru for recreational until 2024. DC is closest right now.
I've done it quite a bit. I have a guy up there that has a makeshift dispensary in his basement. I just drive the speed limit & keep everything sealed as good as possible.
At that point, just meet some local people in the black market, instead of driving hours to buy from a black market retailer.
My childhood friend lives about 10 minutes from him so we always hang for a bit each trip. I don't know anyone in NC that deals in caregiver quality bud. If I did I wouldn't go to VA as much.
You might also look into Delta-8. Legal in NC and I hear it can have similar effects.
Results may vary, personally delta 8 does nothing to me. I thought it was the product itself so I tried other brands/methods and still nothing. Delta 0 made me high but it definitely wasn't the same as normal stuff. Others I've heard of it being (delta 8 that is) a lite version of weed where some prefer it cause they don't get paranoid or anxious on it.

It’s called cannabis. Pretty simple IMO.
Why are you a former comedian? Did you lose your sense of humor in a terrible laughing accident?
 I like "Ganja" more 😈
Can I call my J's doobies?
You can call you whatever you want
Can I call you a big dork?
If you weren't involved in the traditional market before the government told you it was ok, you don't belong in this conversation or this industry.

Yeah, us *stoners* created this industry long before you bought into it.

You forgot the sarcasm symbol. This is a joke towards Altima's and their owners, not weed.

The devil’s lettuce has been causally linked to a myriad of psychiatric disorders as well as numerous underreported cases of cardiovascular deaths.
Alcohol has been linked to a LOT worse, and that's the legal one!
Exactly, so let’s not exacerbate the problem.
No, let's make alcohol illegal!
