You'd be very surprised. I've noticed work ethic isn't one of the top priorities in the Arizona work force. 

Good luck with the card, that wait is ridiculous!





Thanks! I'll post back when I receive it, and get to go to the dispensary.

Sucks about work ethic. Curious to know how much these positions pay? I did browse on your companies website, and looks like a cool place.

Yeah let us know when you go to the dispensary. What's their website? We could help you pick out your strain(s) and all that jazz in case you have questions.

Starting labor worker is $13/hr. Of course experience helps but that's what the people in the dispensary make and the farmers at the grow.

Hand trimmers make more but you have to know your stuff and be good at it. I believe the quota here is a pound in a week, which seems like a lot but that's actually a leaner quota than at other places like Colorado and California.

I've been to dispensaries in Colorado. Cool experience.

Arkansas is gearing up for medical sales. A new grow/package facility is being built in south Fayetteville. The facilities are going through various city planning depts all over the state right now.

It's finally happening.

Fayetteville approves land sale for medical marijuana facillity.

Plans call for a 30,000-square-foot cultivation and processing plant and a 5,000-square-foot office complex on Industrial Drive south of Pump Station Road. Faught hopes to hire 35-40 hourly employers at a starting wage of $15 per hour, 3-5 managerial employees with an annual salary of $50,000-$70,000, and two senior managers who’ll make $75,000-$125,000 per year, according to a staff memo.

The regulatory process getting the system up and running is a big deal. We are over 9 months from the election. The state leg did their best to diminish the law, but it came out pretty solid.

If everything else goes according to plan, people will be enjoying legal medical marijuana in Arkansas by January.

You do not get withdrawals from cocaine.

Not necessarily true, Cocaine has an effect with the brain that can be considered, at times, dependent.

Any drug that is classified as such will show withdrawal like symptoms.

I have been suffering from anorexia for almost a year now. I just want to ask you guys if you ever consider using cannabis as an alternative medicine or a solution for this kind of disorder? They say it can help you gain appetite and elevate you from depression. I was looking for medical advice online for the past couple of weeks and I accidentally came a cross this idea when I read an article from LINK . I have no idea that this is even possible so I would like to hear your personal experience with this if you have. Many thanks

Yes. 100 percent it would help your appetite. And there are various ways of ingesting cannabis, in case you don't like the idea of smoke in your lungs.

If smoking it doesn't bother you, then try that way first. Go low and slow and see how you feel 15-20 minutes later.

Keep us posted.

Not yet. The silver lining is that it's gonna be left up to the state.

Arizona seems cool with it. They've got a shite ton of other things to worry about. And I'm sure they love the revenue generated.

We'll see. Gotta keep growing. The plants don't give a shite about Sessions.

Piece of dog shite, he is.

Any experience with or knowledge of Black Jack, being used to help taper off of or quit SSNRI's(Cymbalta). Any known issues with someone who has previously had serotonin syndrome? My wife is having hell with her meds and really wants to get off of them. Of course we've talked with our Dr's, just looking at alternatives. I have a buddy in Cali, that grows and say's his Black Jack(22-24%) might be helpful.

They're snri's, one too many "s" lol. I know I'm being a little prying, but anxiety or depression related? The jack part of the black jack cross is the strain jack herer. Great strain, but could exacerbate anxiety in new users. Hell of a mood enhancer though, so could be beneficial for depression related. Very sativa-ish and uplifting. The black part of the cross could be a couple things, but i won't speculate based on my uncertainty.

I have never encountered anything related to this and cannabis use research, but i won't pretend advanced understanding of cb1, cb2, or 5ht receptors. I do read enough to know what they are and would've remembered something negative. I have read bad things on a couple of the synthetic cannabinoids being agonists or antagonists in this regard, but not the regular plant based type.

Always the best move but we get their cannabis knowledge is limited. If you have more questions, please ask away.

Both. SShe's(just because) wanting to taper off the Cymbalta and knows she'll probably need/want something to offset the sides. From what we understand withdrawals can be brutal. Her biggest concern is whether this or any MJ, could send her into SS again. I've looked around but have been unable to get much info on it.

So I've tried to do as much reading on this as i can... just not much on snri or even ssri and cannabis that is peer reviewed. Come across a lot of bad anecdotal stuff on ssri's and cannabis, but these are in places you find people mixing ssri's and mdma like they want to die. So i partially discredit some of these tales lol.

I've read into the side effect or withdrawal symptoms for Cymbalta... and what its half life is, 12 hours btw. So at 36 hours without, 87.5% of the med is gone, 75% at 24 hours. It's hard for me to say using cannabis while actively consuming this med may not cause s.s. based on the very limited info. Certainly not saying it's a high risk, just extremely unknown.

Wish i could've given you a better answer, but fda trials hate having cannabis users in their pools. Puts a reasonable chunk of the population at risk for contraindications
