It seems that weed is now legal in California. I have to at least make a purchase for the thrill of it all.
It has been rather a long time. Any recommendations on what to buy?
Not that anyone here wojuld know, but maybe you know somebody that knows somebody.
I found a rather smalll and almost empty container of Dark Star the other day.

"Durbin Poison" is a nice sativa with a mellow tail that doesn't leave you couchbound.
A kind of "get'r'done" buzz.
So I've heard.

Legal pot is a rip-off. Homegrown rules.

I really don't believe zBrown is serious.
He has a thing about stringing you along, sometimes.
But for the record, I'm suggesting, umm...Blue something...umm, uhh...Dream!

After checking, weed is not legal for purchase in Chula Vista (WTF?). You have to go to San Diego/Ysidro to buy, unless it is medical and you have your Dr.'s note.
The status of home growing in Chula Vista is unclear. Furthermore, what I'm reading is that transportaton in a vehicle is legal provided that the container that it comes in remains sealed.
Do not transport weed across state lines or into Mexico.
It is interesting that four of the legal places to purchase in San Diego are near Navy bases.
Has anyone seen a trademark for "Weed", that's what these fellows called it. (Also, near a Navy base).
Q: What are the rules about growing marijuana at home?
A: Since Nov. 9, 2016, every Californian 21 and older has been allowed to grow up to six marijuana plants per household so long as those plants are kept out of public view.
Local governments do get to put some restrictions on those homegrows, though. Many have banned outdoor gardens completely, while others are require pricey permits to grow plants indoors.

Seeds and stems, the forgotten flavor. There’s a whole generation that has never experienced what weed used to taste like.

I haven't seen Ben in years, don't know where he is. But Ben grew for medical purposes and sold out of his home, licensed as Bang Mingo (cool name). This was in 2012/13.
Ben reported a conversation with the local DA, a county officer. He was told in no uncertain terms that his indoor operation was in no danger from the county, so long as his cultivation was not out in the open, fence or no fence.
The City of Merced, be it ever so stodgy, doesn't license medical MJ dispensaries. What they do authorize are home delivery services, which include da kind in vapes, buds, oils, edibles, and crackle/shatter.
It's expensive for me on a low fixed income. I have relied on the kindness of friends for quite a while now to obtain it. My use of MJ in smokeable form is tapered to very small doses lately, especially since I came home from my recent bout with pneumonia with an oxygen tank to assist my blood oxygen level.

Hi Hi Hi
On 28th Aug 1964, after playing a show at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, New York, The Beatles met Bob Dylan for the first time at The Delmonico Hotel. Dylan and mutual journalist friend Al Aronowitz introduce the Fab Four to marijuana.
I need to be careful what I say here, but as we all know, some people with artistic tendencies like the odd puff on a herbal.
According to cannabis historian Ernest Abel, the connection between music and marijuana began with jazz musicians in New Orleans around 1910. It was with these musicians that marijuana became an integral part of the jazz era. Unlike alcohol, which dulled and incapacitated the senses, marijuana enabled musicians whose job required them to play long and exhausting sets. Taking the drug also seemed to make their music sound more imaginative and unique, at least to those who played and listened while under its influence.
Dylan had wrongly assumed that the Fab Four were already pot heads, after mishearing the lyrics to “I Want To Hold Your hand” which he thought were "and when I touch you I get high, I get high..." The actual words are 'I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide...'"
So, Bob and mutual journalist friend Al Aronowitz introduced the Fab Four to marijuana. "Till then we'd been hard scotch and Coke men," admitted Paul McCartney. Dylan rolled the first joint and passed it to John Lennon who immediately passed it to Ringo Starr, whom he called his "Royal Taster." Because the drummer didn’t know the etiquette of sharing a joint, he finished the whole thing himself. More joints were rolled and the Beatles spent the next few hours in hilarity, with Dylan watching in amusement.
The Beatles were hooked. John Lennon later stated, "The Beatles had gone beyond comprehension. We were smoking marijuana for breakfast. We were well into marijuana and nobody could communicate with us, we were just glazed eyes, giggling all the time.”
This was the swinging '60s, and everyone was at it, but the trick was not to get on the wrong side of the law. In 1967 Rolling Stone Keith Richard was found guilty of allowing his house to be used for the illegal smoking of cannabis. He was sentenced to one year in jail but his conviction was quashed by appeal court. Both Mick Jagger and Brian Jones were also arrested for possession. (I’m told you can see Jagger smoking a rather large cigarette in the Beatles “All You Need Is Love” promo film.)
In 1973 Paul McCartney was fined £100 ($170) for growing cannabis at his farm in Campbeltown, Scotland. McCartney hilariously claimed some fans gave the seeds to him and that he didn’t know what they would grow.
Well, would you believe it?

Hey, Mouse:
Thanks for the link to the Condor article in the LA Times. I was watching that chick all season on the Cornell allaboutbirds webcam and was really worried about what would happen as the fire got closer and closer. There has been no update at the Cornell site since before the fires, so my optimism was low. So far, so good.

And a Happy New Year to the chile master, pocoloco1.
Your sponsorship is relevant to The Flames, to say the least!
And your product is not just good, it's better than the rest of the commercially available ones, in my experience.

San Francisco Chronicle: Arts & Entertainment In ’67 - Be-Ins, Beatles and Bands
By Ralph J. Gleason | December 26, 2017
This column originally appeared in The San Francisco Chronicle Dec. 31, 1967.
Nineteen hundred and sixty-seven was the year that stretched from the Be-In at Golden Gate Park to the Oakland Induction Center protests, from the Jefferson Airplane to Otis Redding, and (for the Beatles), from the Associated Press to the Columbia University Forum.
It was the year the Beatles did not, as the wire services so ineptly phrased it, “break up.” It was instead, the year they grew up (just as rock grew up in 1967), what with the death of Brian Epstein and the full responsibility of managing their own affairs.
It was the year George Harrison and Arnold Toynbee walked through the Haight-Ashbury and came to different conclusions. Harrison put down the hippies for pan-handling, and Toynbee likened them to St. Francis and Buddha for the same thing.
1967 was the year the Jefferson Airplane really took off with a hit album, hit disks and Grace Slick’s singing “White Rabbit,” which became an internationally familiar sound. It was the year Paul McCartney visited San Francisco and played with the Airplane at the Fillmore one afternoon. It was the year the Fillmore became an institution in the city, scene of TV documentaries and subject of innumerable magazine articles.
1967 was the year of the Diggers, too, just as they were deeply involved in the Golden Gate Park Be-In, the Diggers were involved in the free rock concerts in the park which grew out of the Be-In and which entertained thousands all summer until the city stopped them.
1967 was the year of the Magic Mountain Festival on Mount Tamalpais, when Country Joe & the Fish flew in from Seattle, and made the last run escorted by Hell’s Angels, to spend an hour performing, then flew back.
Monterey Pop
It was also the year of the beautiful weekend at Monterey, of the Pop Festival, which was such a wonderful three days in so many ways (not the least of which were the Monterey Flower Cops and the Hell’s Angels cooperating), and which has left such a bad taste because of muddled finances.
1967 was the year Bob Dylan remained incommunicado, his book unpublished, his injuries sufficient to keep him from performing. But his film, Don’t Look Back, which was first released here, immediately became an underground success akin to Help and A Hard Day’s Night.
1967 was the year San Francisco became the Number One city in rock, with dozens of bands playing here and dozens of bands recording for dozens of labels. It was the year the Quicksilver Messenger Service and Steve Miller Blues Band obtained contract terms from Capitol Records — the advances of $50,000 and $60,00 are greater than any unrecorded rock bands, or anyone else come to think of it, has ever gotten.
1967 was the year that the University of California held a conference on rock ’n’ roll at Mills College with Phil Spector and others and the year that KMPX, the underground FM stations with the intelligent music policy made history by competing with the AM rockers.
1967 was the year Rolling Stone, a bi-weekly rock paper, began in San Francisco, and Crawdaddy, the monthly rock magazine, was featured in Newsweek.
1967 was the year of the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, of Sergeant Pepper and of the filming of Revolution, the flick on the hippie movement with a sound track by San Francisco groups.
Against Drugs
1967 was the year Donovan came to the Fillmore and Winterland, did three shows for almost 15,000 people and issued a statement against the use of drugs. It was also the year Mick Jagger was arrested for possession of pills without a prescription, and Keith Richard and Brian Jones were also involved with the British narcotic laws.
1967 was the year The Beatles, among others, signed a full-page advertisement in the London Times urging the legalization of marijuana, and the year that the San Francisco poster artists (who are almost as world famous now as the rock bands) held an exhibit called “The Joint Show.”
1967 was the year light shows came into their own, with the Jerry Abrams-Glenn McKay appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival and on the Smothers Brothers show backing the Jefferson Airplane, and the year that John Lennon appeared in his first solo role in How I Won the War. It was also the year of Flatt & Scruggs on the sound track of Bonnie and Clyde and the year of Donovan, Dylan and Joan Baez in Festival.
1967 was the year Gil Hile went off TV, and the year the Berkeley Folk Festival had nine rock bands. It was the year, too, of the clever association of the Beatles and the Stones, with appearances on each others’ records and announced plans to work together in production.
The was the year of The Poster, with sales reaching unprecedented heights and all manner of people entering the poster business, from Life to the Beatles.
The Memphis Sound
Just as 1967 was the year of the Jefferson Airplane and Big Brother & the Holding Company (with Grace Slick and Janice Joplin as the queens of rock), it was the year of the Memphis Sound and Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. The latter’s albums, single records and his appearances at the Fillmore and at the Monterey Pop Festival were so dramatic and his terrible death in the airline crash so tragic.
It was the year Miriam Makeba made a hit single, as did Everett Dirkson, and the year that the “Ballad of the Green Beret” was followed by “Letter to a Teen Age Son.”
1967 was the year of Maharishi and his plans with the Beatles and Donovan and Mia Farrow, and the year that Nancy Sinatra sang with her dad and got him a number one record.
1967 was, in short, a fantastic year of great flicks, great music and great art and a lot of second-rate imitations from the Bee Gees, to the ad agency psychedelic designs and the quickie flicks about hippies.
It was the year of Richie Havens, of the Grateful Dead, of the Congress of Wonders and a wonderful congress of delights in myriad forms, a total gas, aside of course, from that disquieting affair in Asia.
