The Trinity of Absurd

Right on...I do remember discussing this with you.

To be honest, I think the prices up here are still way too high. I base this on both knowing the cost of growing (a...friend...told me...hehe), and the fact that a black market still thrives up here, meaning that they can still make money charging less than the dispensaries.

My hope is that eventually competition will drive the prices down, as there is miles of room in the current margins. Charging prohibition prices is bad for legalization, because it fails to realize one of the biggest benefits: the destruction of the black market.

Designer medicinal strains could be an exception, as there would need to be funding for R&D. But all the R&D for the recreational market has been done during prohibition. I haven't seen THC %'s jump up significantly since legalization, and flavor profiles were developed a long time ago.

Thankfully we're also allowed to grow our own up here, and a clone that will yield around a half pound in the hands of someone with a modest green thumb costs $25. :)

Down here, the price for top notch bought in a recreational facility is 70 to 80 bucks for an 1/8 oz. ( about a 1/3 is taxes )...outrageous,eh ?

What a miss...so much margin for shady growers to continue to operate. :(

Tourists and other out of staters gobble it up. They can't keep it in stock.

And I'm sure that there's a good market there for folks who know "where to look" too...hehe...

I get what's driving it - this is one of the problems with having it legal at the state level, but not at the federal level. No where near enough competition to bring prices in line with where they ought to be, and where they need to eliminate the black market.

It's all good - it's a new industry, it'll sort itself out. But I think people need to keep being advocating for more competition to bring prices in line with ALL the goals of legalization, not just a quick cash grab. Ultimately it doesn't bother me, I like to grow...but it's this kind of short sighted approach that tends to ruin things. I hope that you guys get legalization at the federal level soon.
 
That's dumb.

Show me any baby, ever, born without contributing sperm cells. :roll:

Why do you think God the Father doesn't have a physical body? Even if you believe God not to be a physical entity, if he can create the universe, you don't think he couldn't create a sperm?

Why do you think that this god exists?

And of course gods have foreskins.

Allatius was the keeper of the Vatican library, and in De Praeputio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Diatriba (Discussion Concerning the Prepuce [Foreskin] of our Lord Jesus Christ) he proposed that, as Jesus ascended, he left a bit of himself in the heavens: “the holy foreskin may have ascended into heaven at the same time as Jesus himself, and might have become the rings of Saturn.”

I thought it was a holy ghost.

Luke 1:35-37

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her bold age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Nothing is impossible with God. So, the Holy Ghost shall perform the medical procedure. The Highest or Father's Power or sperm shall be placed in Mary's womb by the Holy Ghost.
 
So all conceptions are immaculate?

It seems that way back then. There was no invetro back then. However, your question is interesting. As I posted that "We are Gods" and Jesus said the same thing when asked if he were a God. But, we are children of the Most High as it also says in Psalms 82:6. That means we are God's in embryo. We are learning to be like God. He has stated that we have the possibility of obtaining all that he has. But, there are things we have to learn first to qualify. Sexual intercourse is a method of conception and a glorious one at that. It's one reason why abortion is so wrong.
 
What does it matter? The story of the conception and the birth of Jesus is a myth.

And, your proof? Science has proven conception without sexual intercourse is possible. In fact, Jesus birth proves God the Father does exist. And, the Holy Ghost was the doctor.

That is merely your belief. You have no proof of the existence of this god. Anyway, who would want to be like your god? Evil, capricious, giving children cancer. No thanks.

"The bible is true because the bible is true" is not proof. Prove that Jesus was born without using the bible. By your logic all holy books are true and all the Hindu gods exist.

And someone had the temerity to question why I have little respect for the religious beliefs of others.

The stories about Krishna prove that he exists.
