Hell yeah welcome to the club! Weed has been legal in Canada for over a year now and despite it being off to a rocky start legalization is great.
One of the nicest things about legalization imo has been being able to fly around the country with weed in my carry on bag and not have to worry about getting arrested.

They now have a reason for people to go there. Last I knew people were leaving in droves.

Do you guys get the right to grow your own hydroponics with legalisation?
They just legalised one state here, but hydros are still banned.

It was super expensive in Colorado too for the first few months when recreational came about. Top shelf 8ths of weed were 75+ shatters were 50 or more. Medical side of the store had the same weed for 35 an 8th and 30 a gram for shatter.
Prices should drop once more companies get operational and licensed and all that creating more supply. Hopefully you guys have a few company's that are producing fire out there!

I'm pretty sure the state decides how many dispensaries can operate. I think it goes to the highest bidder.
Seeing how corrupt the state is, I imagine the prices will be high for a year or until the people in charge see how bad they are undercut by the black market.

Right now I smoked no cigg, couldn't find pot and drank booze.
Tomorrow, no tobacco. I have to get some weed or I'm going to drink booze.
I wish I had a partner to talk to when I'm working on not drinking or smoking ciggs.
The lonlieness is what gets me.

It’s nice that it’s legal but not being able to grow your own imo really sucks There tax is a bit high, at least allow regular non/med people to grow a few plants
I would love to get my papers to legally cultivate for profit

Lol, have you ever came out of a bar at 2 am on Haight street sat down with the kids then just started eating mushrooms? 2grams? When they saw me in the morning they were like holy fuck you ate so many mushrooms last night.
I'm lucky I did not lose my guitar.
I definitely need to find some cyans and microdose.

It should balance out in about 6 months is the general sentiment. But yeah the state is fucked and horrible with taxes, people are still leaving in droves.

for you. My state (NJ) is finally putting it on the ballot this November. It still won't be street legal until 2021.  For being a supposed liberal state they sure have been dragging their ass on this one. NY state needs to step it up too.
This was a good read. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomangell/2019/12/26/marijuana-on-the-2020-ballot-these-states-could-vote/#3249baae79df
This one too. "Pa. weed facility stinks like ‘20 skunks’ and drives neighbors to flee its Poconos hamlet", lolQuote:
A marijuana growing facility in a small Pennsylvania town reeks so intensely that many neighbors say they can’t open their windows in the summer without feeling sick.
The acrid stench from Standard Farms’ greenhouses can be detected up to a half-mile across the Luzerne County community of White Haven. Complaints were routine at borough meetings, minutes show. Several neighbors claim they have struggled to sell their houses — as their property values crashed — since the marijuana producer moved into the tiny Poconos hamlet. ... Standard Farms was founded by two former hedge fund executives from New York City with no agricultural or horticultural experience. It says it’s now the largest employer in White Haven, population 1,097. Standard Farms employs about 20 full-timers and claims more than 50 part-time employees...

Lol. Noooo... I only eat ridiculous amounts of acid at night when I should be going home. One time I made it back safe. Found my pants a few days later down the beach. Didn't even know I had lost them. That irked me for a long while. I dread eating mushrooms, have to force myself. Every time it smashes that reset button though and I wish I had done it sooner rather than suffering for so long. Subs, glorious subs. Every time it's a heart/mind/soul transplant.

Here in the state it's legal anyone can grow but hydros are still illegal. I understood from the reply that medical patients could grow hydros, in addition to everyone being able to grow in dirt.
Gosh darn confusion.
So if I'm understanding it right now, being legal in Illinois just means you can buy from ridiculously overpriced dispensaries?

Unless you know someone with a medical card then prices are decent. They can’t arrest us for an ounce anymore, as long as you get it home you’re fine regardless of the source. It’s better than it was........

I'm really not following what you're saying at all.
In your previous post you said that only those with a medical card can grow, and they can only grow in hydroponics specifically. You said, "only medical patients can grow hydroponics"....
.....But now you're saying that anyone can grow the plant, but that growing with hydroponics specifically is illegal?
And then right after you said growing with hydro is illegal you go back to saying that medical patients are allowed to grow hydro?....and you say that anyone with out a medical card who wants to grow has to grow in soil and they are not allowed to grow in hydro?
I'm soooo so confused.
Why would people with a medical card only be allowed to grow hydroponically and not soil?...and why would anyone with out a medical card only be allowed to grow in soil and not hydro? That doesn't make any sense.

I'm really not following what you're saying at all.
In your previous post you said that only those with a medical card can grow, and they can only grow in hydroponics specifically. You said, "only medical patients can grow hydroponics"....
.....But now you're saying that anyone can grow the plant, but that growing with hydroponics specifically is illegal?
And then right after you said growing with hydro is illegal you go back to saying that medical patients are allowed to grow hydro?....and you say that anyone with out a medical card who wants to grow has to grow in soil and they are not allowed to grow in hydro?
I'm soooo so confused.
Why would people with a medical card only be allowed to grow hydroponically and not soil?...and why would anyone with out a medical card only be allowed to grow in soil and not hydro? That doesn't make any sense.

Lol... I understand your confusion, it did me in for a little while. Let me spell it out.
Here anyone can grow in dirt in a legal state, 4 plants max per home. Hydroponics are banned.
So I asked if now with the law changes in IL can the people there grow hydroponics and the response was only people with medical cards. What was not added is those same people can also grow in dirt, and that no one else can grow legally at all.
It appears that with the legalisation model that has started being implemented in Australia recreational dispensaries are not going to be a thing. It's just that the cops and courts are going to stop wasting resources busting pot heads. Our pollies are far too puritanical to suddenly start letting us openly do what we want, they have to appear to be protecting us from ourselves. That would be outrageously hypocritical in the US so the whole thing is just being organised around money and corporate interests, if I'm reading the lay of the land correctly.

Those prices are insane. That's not legalization, that's keeping it illegal by keeping the price so high that no one is going to buy it. Again, this just looks like another way for the government to claim that legal weed is a failure and shut it down, when in reality they engineered it to be a failure by charging hundreds of dollars for 1/8.

I'd guess that singling out hydroponic cultivation in law may just be a peculiarity of the Australian model. I've never heard of it elsewhere. Restrictions on indoor vs outdoor, visibility from public view, yeah. But who cares if it's hydroponic or soil? Is it a water use thing? Because otherwise I can't imagine what it would be about that would seem at all reasonable. Do they think it makes the weed super strong?

You can bring very strong plants to maturity in record time with hydroponics, it's the Australian way. Big brother doesn't like that.

Sure, but don't people also do that with soil?
Here they almost did a height limit, thank fuck they didn't. Some provinces tried to ban home growing altogether. Part of the rationale was the humidity ruining houses with indoor growing. But don't worry about any other indoor plants you might be growing, your shower or your indoor pool.

Reminds me of when David Blunket, then Home Secretary , and the man resposible for such legislation, reclassified cannabis from a class 2 to a class 3 scheduled drug. Sadly, he incorporated into the legislation that anyone caught in possesion more than once (or twice I forget the number) would be given a choice of either going to court and receiving a criminal record, or 'getting help' with their 'drug problem'. Obviously, most people went with the "help" choice, which the press then gleefully misrepresented by suggesting that there was massive increase in people seeking help with their "drug addiction" due to the super strong "skunk weed".
Or some such bollocks.

I dunno about how you guys do it up there but it's standard to bring a clone to maturity in 9-10 weeks with hydros here. Including the flush you can harvest about 2 pound of chronic bud every 2 & 1\2 months with four plants, so it's way more than personal use. Hence the ban, especially as street prices for chronic are $10+ a gram.
Dunno what they're talking about with the humidity either, total and utter nonsense. Most people get a panda tent and air extraction if growing inside anyway. Otherwise the house will freaking stink to high heavens and the light will be suboptimal.

Illinois only did it because we are so broke. IMO the high prices/taxes will keep the black market thriving.

And how would that compare with soil for the same strains? Or does everyone there just use hydroponics? I am no expert grower, but it seems like there are people out there getting impressive results with soil.
What exactly delineates a hydro grow from a soil grow? Plants in a medium that does not look like soil? Support medium is inert and nutrients are provided in liquid form? Automation?

They are imagining damage like you would see if you were using the entire house to grow and didn't care about damaging anything, and acting like that applies to just growing your 4 plants. But in the other provinces you can grow outside. It's all bullshit, potential damage is not the real reason. They want to pretend they have a captive market with the legal sales they control. I think the Quebec growing ban has now been struck down. Manitoba's may still exist.

I'm not an expert grower either, a former incarnation in this lifetime was really into it which is how I have some knowledge. This current version of me doesn't even smoke. My experience was that hydroponics grows hella faster and with less fuss than soil as there's no dirt in the way of getting the nutrients to the roots of the plant. Nutrient timing and light timing in growing cycles are critical for making a good plant a fucking amazing plant. When one adds soil health to this equation it further complicates things, the topic of soil health is a massive one that's hard to master No doubt people can grow great in soil, but it's unnecessary. Plants don't need soil they need the nutrients they extract from them. Getting perfect conditions in soil over a 2-3 month period is a big ask as the stuff is bioorganic and keeps changing of its own volition. There's several types of hydroponics setups. Some with ebb and flow automation and some are with circulating automation. I used aeroponics, where the plant is rooted in volcanic rock in a basket, which is then mounted in the lid of a much larger pot. The roots hang freely in the pot which is filled with nutrient solution and air is pumped to an airstone in the bottom. So the plants roots exist floating freely in fizzing nutrient solution. Because this provides exactly what the plant needs whenever it needs it less energy is required building larger root systems also. The next choice is deciding growing formation. Whether to tie the branches down so they grow out, which often leads to having to tie them up to support the weight, or using a sea of green setup where the plants get grown tied horizontally under mesh and you let the buds grow up through the mesh. There's other ways too. So many ways to grow killer dank. Anyhow... this isn't the hydroponics 101 thread, just an explanation more how average people can grow like master growers with hydros, and thus why big brother this side doesn't like that. I'm sure plenty of people grow in soil here, they don't need to grow these hydroponic monsters to cater for their own needs. It is quite a bit of extra work and gear, one probably wouldn't bother unless you were looking at capitalising on it, again, hence the laws.

Agreed. Although it will be worth it for edibles and carts, since you know what you're getting and it's a pain in the ass and quite smelly to make edibles at home.

Soiless mix
Peat moss , perlite , vermiculite , dolomite limestone
Pro mix with mycorrhizae in the white bale is cheap and good
It's a bout 30 bucks and you'll have more then enough dirt
It has no nuts but it's more about beneficial bacteria like this mycorrhizae and compost tea
That's how you get some smoke that tastes like air and smells / tastes super good

It sounds like that is just the grow style people are good at over there.
I guess my point regarding the distinction is, if the plants are in a medium that superficially is "soil" but is really more like an inert medium and it's otherwise a hydro setup, will that pass as a soil grow?

Could well be just a cultural preference for growing style. Aussies are pretty big pot heads like you guys too. Heck, things may have even changed with the people and the guvmint just doesn't realise yet either, after so many years of busting hydro grows. I dunno about the definitions and implications for substrates, I don't even live in a state where it's legal. Pretty sure some people know this answer, I never asked it. Need to know basis I guess. When it becomes legal here I'm gonna grow fucking Christmas Trees, not because I smoke, just because I can.

The whole thing is ridiculous. I checked out the nearest dispensary yesterday. $72 for an 1/8 (with only one strain available), very little odor or flavor, too dry, was harsh to smoke even in a water pipe, the label says 0.00% CBD (which I feel like weed needs CBD in it) and to top it all off there were 18 seeds in an eighth. Clearly someone doesn't know what they're doing.
I won't be going back, it's all about state revenue anyway plus they want to scan your ID to track how much you're purchasing.
In case anyone is still confused, you can grow 5 plants in IL if you have a medical card. Other than that, no one is allowed but the licensed cultivation centers.
Also, the sentences imposed for dealing outside of legal channels just got ramped up big time: possession of over 30g is up to 1 year in prison selling between 2.5 and 10g is 1 year in prison
Bottom line is, the plant isn't legal, it's just been made into a taxable commodity and the penalties for operating outside the law were ramped up in an effort to keep all the money involved with it taxable.
Here's a link to NORML.com where they list more penalties
