Wtf?,did you guys just show your single BCID and be on you're merry way?!?,kinda dumb.

I’ve had mixed experiences now with both my legal online orders

The first mail guy asked me for ID and signature, the second said he just assumed I was 18 and got a sig

Tried the bubba kush indica blend tincture the other night, about 3/4 of the eye dropper had fairly mild euphoric effects. Again as with all the legal stuff so far a very clean enjoyable high. Also certified organic

Yup, two for me, and a scene caused thanks to the miserable old bat that runs the Post Office counter where I had to pick up my parcel.

No sir, I don't like it.

Yea I saw the reviews. But when I see people leaving shit reviews about where's my product, I know that orders have been delayed from the ongoing strikes. Hell even some of my Amazon prime orders are taking over a week, I just call in and cancel the order or they extend prime etc. And I still get the product :victory: I called the number guy sounded honest enough. Made a small order and expecting it when it gets here. He even apologized that cpost issues was out of his hands and he could purolator but then he wouldn't be able to pass savings on. Not gonna lie I was tempted to ask if he was on rs :lawl:

I'll pic when it arrives HAH

Hondaracer 11-16-2018 09:28 AM

Whistler Canna Bubba Kush indica dominant tincture

It’s certified organic however tastes the same as most tinctures. The potency was lacking as the second time I did it I did 1.5 eye droppers worth and the effects were still minimal.

I’ve tried a few different products now from the Whistler Cannabis. Seemingly one to avoid going forward imo.

A Canadian investor travelling to Las Vegas, Nevada, to attend a prominent cannabis conference and tour a new cannabis facility has been issued a lifetime entry ban to the United States, according to an immigration lawyer he consulted.

“He was travelling straight from Vancouver to Vegas. When they found out he was going down to tour the marijuana facility and that he was an investor in marijuana, they gave him a lifetime ban,” said Len Saunders, an immigration lawyer based in the border town of Blaine, Wash., who was consulted by the individual after receiving the ban.

The individual, who invests in a Canadian cannabis business that has an operation in Nevada, received the ban on the morning of Nov. 14, as he travelled to Las Vegas to attend the Marijuana Business Conference & Expo, one of the largest gatherings of cannabis industry players. The conference attracted close to 25,000 investors, entrepreneurs, lenders, lobbyists and executives of major U.S. and Canadian licensed cannabis producers, among others.

According to Saunders, who has a transcript of the exchange, a U.S. border guard at Vancouver International Airport’s pre-clearance area asked the individual if he understood that an investment in the U.S. cannabis industry was a “violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act related to controlled substance trafficking.”

“I learned that today,” the individual replied.

The transcript was provided to Saunders by the individual, who does not want to be named as he grapples with how to navigate the complications that come with having a lifetime entry ban to the U.S. “He’s very embarrassed. He’s also shell-shocked. I feel bad for the guy,” Saunders said.

The only way to circumvent a lifetime entry ban to the U.S. is to apply for a temporary waiver that will permit you to cross the border for up to five years. But applying for a waiver is a long and cumbersome process, full of paperwork, according to Saunders.

Concern over how Canadians affiliated with the cannabis industry will be treated when trying to cross the U.S. border has been an ongoing issue as Canada’s legal cannabis industry has expanded.

Cannabis is now federally legal in Canada, and legal for both recreational and medical use in 10 U.S. states, including Nevada, as well as Washington D.C., but remains illegal federally in the U.S.

About a month before cannabis became fully legal in Canada, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S. CBP) issued a statement saying that any individual working in the cannabis industry in Canada could be deemed inadmissible to the U.S. They later clarified that statement, confirming that any Canadian traveling to the U.S. for reasons unrelated to the marijuana industry, even though he or she works in the industry, would “generally be admissible.”

Those guidelines, however, do not prevent border officials from subjecting Canadian travellers who work in the cannabis industry an additional layer of security screening. At least 12 Canadians working in the cannabis industry were detained for hours at U.S. CBP’s pre-clearance zone at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, because they were en route to the same cannabis conference in Vegas.

Roderick Elliot, senior vice-president at the lobbying firm Global Public Affairs was scheduled to depart from Toronto on an Air Canada flight directly to Las Vegas on Nov. 13, but ended up missing his flight due to a two-hour wait in U.S. CBP’s secondary screening area, where he was subjected to a number of additional questions about his affiliation with the cannabis industry.

Elliot’s colleague was also held up for secondary screening.

“The first border guard asked us specifically why we were going to be in Las Vegas, and when we said we would be dropping by at the Marijuana Business Conference, he said ‘I’m going to need you to come with me,’” Elliot told the Financial Post. He and his colleague were then ushered into a large white room — where 10 other individuals traveling to Vegas for the conference were also waiting — and asked to not talk, and not use their cellphones.

“I am a big supporter of secure borders. But these border guards were deliberately slowing down the process. It struck me that this was a fairly unnecessary measure, and they could have dealt with it in a much quicker way,” Elliot said.

Global Public Affairs, the lobbying firm that employs Elliot and his colleague consults for a number of sectors, including cannabis, but neither Elliot nor his colleague invest in the American cannabis industry. “We wanted to make sure the border guards understood that,” he said.

A number of high-level cannabis executives attending the conference, who declined to be named, managed to avoid issues at the border by not flying directly to their destination. One told the Financial Post that in anticipation of problems at the border, he was advised by his lawyers to fly into Los Angeles and then drive to Las Vegas a day later. Another said that he flew into San Diego first, before leaving for Las Vegas — he advised the other executives on his team attending the conference to employ the same tactic.

“On hindsight, I should have probably re-thought my travel route to the conference,” Elliot admitted. “But I can’t lie at the border, so I had to say I was going for a cannabis conference.”

The unidentified man who received a lifetime ban is not the first Canadian involved in the domestic cannabis industry to receive such a sanction. In May, Vancouver-based venture capitalist Sam Znaimer, who was investing in a number of U.S. cannabis startups, was interrogated by border officials about his investments and also barred for life — all in a span of four hours.

Saunders casts some of the blame on the Canadian government for perhaps not understanding the gravity of the border situation as it relates to cannabis. “Look, the Americans have already said that any foreigners involved with the cannabis industry can be denied entry and barred for life. Now you have the Canadian government advising people to tell the truth at the border. But I’m saying, it’s much better to say nothing — you will be denied entry, not given a lifetime ban. You don’t have to say anything at the border.”

Saunders also points out that even if cannabis eventually becomes legal at a federal level in America, it won’t change anything for those who have already obtained a lifetime ban.

“I would love to ask Ralph Goodale if he’s willing to hand out some free waivers that will help these people get back across the border. Because, trust me, this is going to continue being a big problem for Canadian business people.”

hi guys, where is the best place (dispensary or website) to buy high CBD strain edibles/ flower/extract? I'm not that into high THC content stuff anymore (gives me anxiety, hard to work) but i like being relaxed and sociable from the CBD stuff and also helps with some of my pain and general well being. The government has some strains but it is quite marked up so wondering if you guys have had any good experience with any other shops? TIA

i say about 100 pulls,yes from the same company,not the strongest ganja smell so its good if you're trying to be stealth about it in concerts or movie theaters.....some of the vape pens out there are dead strong give away of reeking like skunk..some like that..and im trying to be ninja so that's a no from me...slight smell still tho.

its a little easier on the lungs than burning joints and nobody notices while i'm front row in a concert and security ends rushing the other people lighting up and blowing fat clouds few rows aside me telling him to put it out,Raves too. :pokerface:

I placed an order back on Nov. 26th, not the Govt site but another one.

Canada post can blow me, usually takes 1-3 days, figured with the strike it might be like 5-6.

My current arrival date is Dec 14th but I expect it to change again as it seems everyday they add a day.

If it has a screw off top you can buy from anyone they all have the same fitting. I have 4 or 5 batteries all different styles and it doesn't matter which cartridge you buy they are interchangeable, at least everyone I've ordered and I've tried a lot of different ones.

You get at least 100 pulls out of it, they last a while. As mentioned above the best part about it is low odour, I can smoke it in my living room my son could walk in the room 60 seconds after I hit it and he wouldn't have a clue. It dissipates really quick and there isn't a lot of smell to it.

Romulan from Cannaclinic, probably some of the best weed I’ve got from them and better than any of the govt. stuff I ordered

Thank you for moisturizing your hands before taking pics this time around

Privacy Commissioner issued this guidance document today, recommending people buy their legal weed with cash. They also say to provide as little personal information as possible when making purchases.

Yes, that's the Canadian government, telling you that your purchases using credit cards (or debit, etc) is not private, and may fuck you over when travelling overseas or to the US.

It would be smart for these places to start accepting bitcoin as well.

Interesting news for sure.
All I can say is that this country has lost it's way.

Mr.Money 12-19-2018 03:04 PM

imagine applying for passport renew or you're current nexus being revoked at the US boarder because your name popped up on Credit card purchases for Cannabis.


its like having a beer in your own house and getting the book thrown at you cause its a law in another country,What would a Lawyer for human rights say?..
