But how do i get it onto the computer... I can scan a copy of my passport photo and DL all day long but bow do i get it onto a CPU. The scanner at fed ex just prints physical copies. Walgreens, cvs or any of those will not provide a digital copy of my passport photo. I just want a digital copy of it in PDF form or whatever the fuck it is.

Can someome explain how they did this?

I would STRONGLY Suggest NOT buying the 1/2 Oz or Full Oz of Pure Shake, even though you can get it for $100 and $200. I tried it in The Evolve Dry Herb Pen, it is no where near as good as if you buy the Popcorn Buds and strain it yourself. Part of The Reason I use a gram a Day is I no Longer can Work, so I like many other Disabled People in Chronic Pain, have so much free time, and it is mostly spent in pain. A Gram of Shatter or The Vape pipes would get me 4- 5 Days, and I like them. But that is $10-$12 a day. The Buds in The $250 Oz will be about 2/3rds to 75% of That. The $50 to $75 a month savings might not sound like much to people on here, but it allows me to Have Money For Gas and My Prescriptions.

Great Post, Thanks for the Info! I was SOOOOO Close to Getting the GG4. PDI just started carrying Aeriz last Month. MyCaretaker advises many Cresco Sauces, Sugars and Waxes and all very Good, Sour or Chunky Diesel, Also Revolution Razzmatazz. So does 1 gram of Concentrate ALWAYS COUNT AS 7 UNITS OR GRAMS?? Can not figure what does and does not count as a Gram.

I haven't seen any sort of 'standards & practices' posted anywhere, but it looks like 100mg of THC in concentrates is usually measured as 1 gram of dry weed when calculating your limit. So one gram of concentrate = 10 grams of dry weed.

I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but at my dispensary (Medmar) all edibles are labeled with "Usable cannabis for conversion..." and the number that corresponds to the formula above. I haven't seen this on non-edibles like vape cartridges, but I think it's the same formula.

I got shake for cooking. I can make a lot of brownies in my strength for $30 worth. $36 96 pieces vs 16 pieces of a bought $18 chocolate cut to the same strength. I just haven't tried vaping it yet.
If you're dry herb vaping you can make budder out of the AVB.

Evolves are not good.

I'm home all day almost every day too. I couldn't go through a gram a day of 7%THC/13%CBD. 20 years off has me with no tolerance and it's not coming back easily because I don't like being really high and I don't like being on anything all the time. If I did a vape bowl or 4 hitters a day that would be about a gram a month.

I hope you're well enough to grow when we can. Look around the internet for some cheap grow methods. MI has some good low cost ideas from their patients.






I have a scanner that's part of my printer hooked to my computer with a photo editing program. I converted to PDF with https://jpg2pdf.com/

If you're paying someone to scan for you, you need to have them give you a digital copy. If they can't or won't you need to find someone that will. Or find someone with a scanner at home, they're not uncommon. Staples self serve can access the cloud to print so I assume they can access it to save.

Or go to the dispensary you want, they most likely will help you apply online for no charge (IL law, places can charge for pictures but not applying).

Katsu Bubba Kush or OG 18 should help you get a good nights rest.

Dispensaries are instructed to ignore the letter's expiration.

Makes me think the "printer down" is more like the state isn't paying their bills again and they can't find anyone else to print. No business has mechanical problems this long.

Thanks, got the OG18, like it. Easy on my throat also.

I know at PDI they call them Units, and they tell you how many are available each time you come in. I think you get 70 every 2 weeks.

Thanks Myk. My Brother grew a lot in the Late 70's and then good stuff 20 years later also, I got him a light on a motorized track. That is Dark Ages to how it is done now. My son in law is moving in with Me, He will help Me Grow if I decide to. I just do not think The Wife will permit the smell. Of course, she does not prefer I spend $250 a month either, so who knows!!

Juke52 said:

That sounds right. The law says 2.5 ounces per two weeks, and 28 grams in an ounce, so that's 70 grams.

BTW, I heard that it's a rolling total. In other words, it doesn't reset to zero every two weeks. You just can't have more than 2.5 ounces within the previous two week period. So basically it resets every day.

The smell is what killed my younger successful grow early. I'm not sure if my much shorter plan will work with the proposed 5 plants (it will work with the other legalization's limit) but I have deodorizing figured into it. I have some LED flood lights that had a pepper plant looking better than the ones I put outside last year.

There are also low odor varieties, if nothing else you could supplement your dispensary needs with some homegrow assuming the corporations don't get the law to benefit them and screw us. It's looking like I'm mostly a sativa guy so I may be supplementing since I don't want to go tall again.




It's definitely rolling from the purchase date.

What counts is odd and I can't make sense out of it. Flower counts straight up. The rest is THC and CBD, or so I've read but that doesn't add up to the edible I bought that counted as 1g. THCa doesn't count so converted FECO takes a lot and unconverted concentrate hardly takes any.

I asked about the Units Today, and he said About How Dragon Tears eat up units. He said it is based off The THCa %, not The THC.
He said that is really one of the only things to use that much units.Also Mentioned something about Things Being "Live" and Dragon Tears is different, so I guess I have no clue!! I do not know what FECO is??

So I had it backwards. Still makes no sense to me.

FECO, Full Extract Cannabis Oil, is a more proper form of saying RSO. RSO used some pretty nasty solvents.
