      Replace two of the bags with oregano and tip off the police. The police report x kg of weed seized instead of x-½ because they want to look good. Dealers believe all is accounted for and you have 2 whole 9 bars to enjoy at your leisure.

      I guess it depends on where you’re at? Those look like ounces not pounds, honestly not that much value even if they were pounds, especially if you’re in a place where it’s legal.

    No conflict at all in my mind. Leave no evidence of being there. Put out a few cameras to catch the faces of anyone entering. Call the cops and the DEA, and stay clear til the dust settles.

    They’re just buds, and without the proper extraction equipment, there’s not much you can do with it other than make some very weak edibles. I suppose you could also smoke it, but then you’d skunk up the entire neighborhood and not even get high.

    10 years ago I would be salivating over this picture, but with legalization being a thing in many parts of the world for so long now, it’s kind of hard to get excited over buds when you’re used to high-terpene concentrates that are easily 5x stronger than flower.

      without the proper extraction equipment

      All you need is a a proper filter and you can shift the kief out and press it. Can get one from most fabric stores, just right micron size. Now you’ve got traditional hash.

      That’s not as effective but arguably simpler equipment than this next one. Pick up acetone and a glass/metal container and bowl (oh and a metal sieve if you’ve not got one, but coffee filters will do as well) from a hardware store. Crush the bud, soak it in acetone, pour the acetone into the bowl and then let it evaporate. That’s oil. With a little tuning, you can make extremely high quality extracts this way.

      So idk, you’re probably thinking of some elaborate CO2 extraction systems as “proper extraction equipment” but none of that jazz is necessary for high quality extracts. We’ve been making them for literally a few thousand years by hand, lol. Although making charas is out of the question pretty much with dry weed.

      Doesn’t even look that great from the parts you can see and the fact it’s definitely been in those packs for a long time, it’s probably throat scratching med-tier over-dry weed. Meh.

        Not exactly. 1g of concentrate will last me almost a week. Bud just isn’t that potent unless you’re a Boomer, or someone who really doesn’t smoke weed unless you’re around people who have it. (Commonly known as the “moocher smoker”)

        Not to mention that inhaling all that chlorophyll and tar is not good for your lungs, plain and simple. With a proper extract, the only things going into your lungs are terpenes and THC.

        Protect your health, and say no to cannabis buds.

          I almost exclusively vape, and I am a daily smoker for over 15 years at this point; but every once in a while I smoke a bowl of buds and it still gets me ripped. Sometimes even more than vaping, since there’s a better synergetic effect from smoking the whole plant and not just a concentrate that’s like 80-95% THC.

          Plus it smells and tastes better unless they add flavor to the concentrate because the natural taste is affected by the process of making it.

            Given what you told me, it seems to me that you’re simply buying shitty oil. I don’t blame you, a lot of cannabis oils suck, especially the 80-95% THC junk. The people producing that shit only care about making the number go up. That’s why buds still wreck your shit; cause they naturally contain the terpenes you’re not getting from your vape.

            You need to be pickier with your oil, and only go with full spectrum extracts derived from fresh cannabis. None of that frozen or botanical terp shit. With the right concentrate, you won’t even miss buds.

    With homelessness exploding due to how the asset-owning Parasite Class is jacking rents into the stratosphere, why is any residential property vacant at this time?

    Vacant residential properties should be taxed out the nose - well above any rent or price appreciation - until they are occupied by legitimate tenants.

        No, a lot are vacant because they’re purchased as “investments” and just sit there empty. No work is being done on them.

          Paying rates, insurance, taxes, and maintenance on an empty property isn’t an investment, it’s a liability.

            Because when you sit on that property for 3 - 5 yrs, doing thenbare minimum to keep it functioning, you can then sell it for 20-30% more. You don’t have to anything.

              That type of value increase is pretty rare, and by no means guaranteed. And even if it’s true, you could make even more money still by tenanting the property.

                Not necessarily. Not only you will have to maintain the houses beyond bare minimum, you will have to deal with tenants. But if you just hold it, it will never depreciate in value, you can do all the speculation bullshit on it, taking loans using it as collateral, and billion of other slimy shit they do, and if you’re lucky it will increase in value a lot over time, meanwhile you don’t need to do shit other than pay some alcoholic to visit it once every three month to see if nothing leaks.

      Because the last tenant put holes in the walls, their dog’s piss caused the floor to lift, and the shower they plugged then overflowed fucked up the bathroom?

      So there are repairs to do in order to make the place livable and then time to find somebody else who won’t just wreck the place again?

      Yeah there are lots of shit landlords but one of the continuing factors is the remaining good ones with a basement suite etc bailed after terrible tenants.

      A vacancy tax is a good idea but there needs to be caveats for timelines especially if stuff like reasonable maintenance/repairs is taken into consideration.

      Ironically my friends who bitched about “shit landlords” also happened to be the drinkin’ smokin’ big-dog-ownin’ types who were the worst type of tenants and ruined shit for everyone else

          Had to move for my job, but didn’t want to sell our house.

          Decided to rent it. Lucked into some awesome renters.

          We haven’t raised the rent on them in 7 years. We fix things when they ask. They respect the property.

          If they moved or bought a house they’d be paying significantly more monthly. Instead they’re using their extra money to save for their own house and to get their business off the ground.

          This feels like a win win? If we had sold, it’d probably be an AirBnB now. How does this make me shit?

            I know i am going to be down voted but here goes.

            You didn’t want to sell your home to a family who could have really used it, instead you wanted to keep it and make money off someone for 7 whole years.

            You are keeping property you don’t need whilst talking about how you help people to get their own home, seems like a poor justification to me.

            This feels like a win win? If we had sold, it’d probably be an AirBnB now. How does this make me shit?

            You don’t know that it would have become an air bnb, you are just using whataboutism to make yourself look better by comparison. And if it did that’s not on you, but trying to justify renting additional properties by saying you “saved it” from becoming an air bnb instead is so shitty. Like wow you saved the house from being used in that way here is your rental payment.

            You aren’t saving people money by taking rental payments, you aren’t a hero for potentially stopping someone from using the property as an airbnb, you are a landlord.

              Are you participating in the same thread that I am?

              I literally said that landlords are using software to set the prices with software in collaboration with other landlords.

              I also said there are lawsuits open about this action.

              I was then told not to be a devil’s advocate, and my response was, I am not advocating for anything.

              Now you say that I am making excuses?

              What logic train are you guys all on?

              Because I am not on the same logic train as you.

              Ihave not supported anything, or advocated for anything, or excused anything and yet you seem to have convinced yourself that I have, and I don’t know where it’s coming from.

              Like if I’m fucking up fine, you know, downvote me. If I’m saying something that’s controversial, fine, downvote me. But nothing I have said should be considered a fuck-up or controversial. So I don’t know why people are against me saying it.

        Sorry, that’s actually already factored into the cost of the rent.

        The real reason why so many properties are vacant is that even though landlords know they could fill the vacant apartments by lowering the rent, there are companies that make money by telling landlords how much to set the rent for, even if they keep the apartments vacant. showing that they will make more money with less overhead by doing so, so that the decrease in hassle will justify the decrease in profit.

        There are a couple of various lawsuits and actions that are going on about these companies right now, and we have yet to see how it’s going to play out. But, the cat is out of the bag, the genie is out of the bottle, the likelihood of rents returning back to something that people can afford with minimum wage income any time soon is pretty low.
