Checked out a few northwest Baltimore and Carroll County #dispensaries today (#rightwing #conservative #WestminsterMD has TWO! 😮)... Talked with growers from the Grassroots brand (lovely folks!)... Saw steady business but not the predicted bedlam, lots of excitement, super-cool staffers, and dicey parking lot action I hadn't considered (touch-and-go tight squeezes!), but all in all, POSITIVITY! Let's show the haters that #PeterTosh knew what he was talking about!

Whatever happened to stoners.social?

Do we need to start a new server for cannabists? Is there an interest and support for it, given the abrupt disappearance of stoners.social? Would love to hear from the #fediverse faithful!, #hippie folks, #counterculture devotees, #healthcare providers, #patients, #dispensaries, etc.

Please #boost

Random fact about Kat: In the very beginning of #cannabis things here in California, I had been interested in using my #WebDesign skills to build a site for #dispensaries. Now, back then...the money exchange aspect was a bit hard. Just like sex work, Visa/MC didn't want to let such businesses play ball.

Only got a few bites on work like that, but they never panned out, even as I was doing the leg work for such prospects. I also tried to approach cannabis work at the retail side, but my looks weren't quite right. Thinking about all that today and I still might want to go back into web design for that stuff but... just isn't in the cards.

Several reasons why I invested in the #stockmarket #OTC #BIOR #MULN #GTBIF and a few others.

#MULN is Mullen Automotive, an #EV company making moves
#BIOR is Biora Therapeudics, new BioMed tech of medicinal delivery system helping to avoid injections
#GTBIF is Green Thumb #RISE #Dispensaries, :cannabis:

My husband has been battling cancer for 3 years. We can't afford insurance (by the time you pay premiums & deductibles, you're homeless, hungry, destitute.)
GFMe didn't cut it. There are TOO many people out here who need help and too few who CAN and even those who WON'T.

I don't fall for hype. Just because some pumper says buy and others chase it, doesn't cut it for me. I got in #AMC at $8.09 and got out when it hit to $33. I should have gotten out at $70, but I never traded a stock before so #AncoraImparo . The $$ paid for his 1st surgery.

Then we downsized, sold our house, bailed Tennessee. Not happy there. TN won't #LegalizeIt, healthcare is shyte, anti- #union, county we lived in had NO diversity, was too church-ruled, cultish driven, Stepford-like..

Moved to Virginia, #cannabis is 💯 legal, hubby's 2nd surgery cost a few thousand less, diverse neighborhood, friendly, low crime, less guns on display (eventho it's hunting season!) NO pressure to join ANY church!🥰 TY!

Judge: Why is the trustee being reimbursed instead of just paying the vendor by check?
Me: #Cannabis #dispensaries don’t accept payment by check, your honor.
Judge: …
Me: …
Judge: That makes sense.
Me: Yeah.

But never fret. Just because one website is bad doesn't mean you are out of material for good comedy. Here's Great Lakes Holistics. Link to Weedmaps store, that doesn't exist. HAHAHAHA

Rhode Island #RI #RhodeIsland legalized #marijuana a few days ago. Most of the people living in most of the East Coast states can now enjoy marijuana entirely! Have your cash ready and the ATM, some hav built-in lounges I believe (please don't hold me onto that... most dispensaries DO AND ARE ALLOWED to have consumption lounges, but I assume these states' dispensaries have them... and most #marijuana #dispensaries have ATMs in their establishments so get ready for fun!)
