Puzzle me this.
I was at a buddy's today that buys a lot of his pot from an Alberta legal pot shop and he gave me his empty containers. All originally came with 3.5g of pot but the empties are very different in size and weight.
No deposit on any of them and he says there is a 14 day limit to returning them but I have no clue about what that's about. Why not a deposit by weight of plastic waste. The ones from Tweed only have a printed recycle label on the paper label citing #7 while the others have #1 recycle labels as a raised part of the plastic on the bottom of the containers like we see on every other food or beverage container we buy anywhere. That seems odd right there.
All three are push down and turn 'childproof' containers no worse or better than anything you would get pharma meds in and easily defeated by an active 3 year old.
I have 5 Tweed containers that are large, black or navy blue, square boxes, 7cm wide by 7.5cm tall that ranged in weight from 117.9g - 119.5g. Average 118.6g. The 3 navy blue ones say DNA on the front but are Tweed in the fine print.
The two from CannTrust are round, white containers that are 7.5cm at the lid, 7cm base and 6.5cm tall and were the same weight at 42.6g. That's 2.8x lighter than the Tweed ones!
The two from MedRelief are like the CannTrust ones. Round, white containers that measure 5.7cm at the top and 5.9cm at the base and are 6.3cm tall and only weighed 27.8g each so only weighed 2/3 as much as the CannTrust ones and less than 1/4 of the Tweed jars! Closer to 1/5.
WTF!
How stupid is this? Do I leave pharma meds in their much lighter pill bottles lying around for 3 year olds to play with? My empty pill bottle that had 30 - 50mg Demerols in it weighs in at 7.8g and would be easy to break with 3 pills likely to be fatal to a 3yo while that same kid could eat 3.5g of pot and just sleep for a couple of days.
REEFER MADNESS 2.0!!!
The saga continues unabated.
PS: the Tweed boxes stack together like Legos and even with a stack of 5 took some serious shaking to topple them. The others easily slid apart with just a light jiggle so if stackability and near destruction proff is your thing then get your shwag from Tweed!
Also he said all were cruddy looking and dry as dust. At least he wasn't paying for water but he never weighed the pot in any of them so can't attest to the weights.
BOYCOTT LP SCHWAG!
