      Only under an incredibly convoluted and stupidly managed medical program run by public officials who publicly stated they didn’t want it.

      I’m glad cause the “Ohio 8th” which was 2.8g instead of the 3.5g, because it was 1/10th and was the standard for a “day” of consumption will finally die. As will the stupid an convoluted “days” system, limits to purity of product, so no more limiting strains to below 30% or dabs below 80% purity. No more $200 annual fee for medical cards. No more limits to business licenses so more dispensaries, more production centers, more competition. It also adds the right for a person to grow up to six plants. And to commemorate that I’ve got a home hydroponic system from Vevor and Mars Hydro on the way, so I’m finally free to grow my own.

      The lower prices and less restrictions will finally lead us to recapturing almost $250mil per year in tax $ to Michigan as well. My heart goes out to all the dispensaries in Michigan that are about to close, but damnit that’s our tax $.

      This 100% ends the BS interference DeWine and the R’s have been putting on us. I look forward to the next 30 days and beyond as all this is established. The law goes into effect 12/7.

        Congrats on the passage and good luck on your grow!

        I got started again earlier this year when my state (MN) finally got it passed, Mars Hydro is great for tents and lights, also grabbed an AC Infinity inline fan which is basically silent compared to the old POS blower I had from 10 years ago while moving a shit ton of air.

        I really think home grow is the biggest benefit of legalization, being able to produce your own cannabis and watch it thru the entire process is kind of magical compared to just handing someone cash and getting a bag of junk back. I’m looking forward to getting a press and playing around with concentrates, such an exciting time for cannabis.

          Thank you! I lived in Michigan for a few years quite some time back, and grew up there while I lived there. Never have in Ohio yet, but it’s like riding a bike lol. It really is different when you do it yourself.

          If you do get a press make sure to do it immediately after harvest or freeze a bunch of nugs before you cure them! The yields will wildly differ and the flavor profile of the terps is much better.
