soon Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I can relate to this too. In Canada this is a popular more-affordable brand called Presidents Choice. They make everything including beer. Being a price conscious brand they use cheaper ingredients in beer, including corn based malt/sugars. I cannot catch a buzz from that beer and I suspect its because the relaxing effects of beer are countered by the high fructose corn syrup type stuff in it. Also, I used to get grumpy from whiskey but more recently I get gruff when I drink white wine. Haha! Seriously its the most absurd thing. 'I only came here to drink White Zinfandel and kick some ass. And it looks like we're on a cheese course.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its at The Beer Store (provincially regulated store owned and operated by US macro brewers) in Ontario and I think that I've seen it at grocery stores in Quebec. I just did a quick google and found the example of it being not only available in Alberta, but brewed for them by Big Rock (I've never seen this IPA) https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/391/196166/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they sell the non-alcoholic stuff at Superstore but I've never had near-beer because.... well why would I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would of thought since PC was available nation-wide, that the beer would be but maybe not. So regulated. Definitely hope we'll get your BC buds under regulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely hope we'll get your BC buds under regulation My city, for all its faults, is at least a decent example of how weed stores should work - if you can afford the business license, you can have one. If you're not within 100 metres of a school, open up shop. You'll charge higher prices than your everyday dealer and add 12% in taxes and still have a revolving door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they'll sadly still loose money, like they manage to do often with booze. Meanwhile, the crony capitalists in Toronto will make millions while the Ontario govt looses millions of tax dollars on mismanaged regulating. The Cannabis Control Boards of Ontario will be unionized but will hire primary part-timers who aren't eligible for union membership. And the people who actually made the industry are already being squeezed out. The result is that now I'm being offered powders when I ask for an 1/8th of kush. Its basically become like the "do you want fries with that" of the cannabis market place here. Hopefully the black market will go back to normal once the over-priced and over-taxed buds go up for sale. Although I am looking forward to non-GMO, organic stuff.

The only thing I'm really looking forward to is the gummy bears and other candies everything else I'll be able to legally do myself without much effort. But yea, the dispensaries here (in my experience) aren't 'pushy' about anything, but they've had the vapes, pills, hash, keef, and other extracts for quite a while. It's definitely quite the marketplace. Aren't you a gardener anyway? Grow your own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure about if we can legally grow outside - which is way cheaper to do? But I just might have some know how on indoor growing Yeh, hopefully the vendors will chill out here soon too.

arnold layne Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Jameson and a beer chaser. Wish I knew the magic power of an elixir known as Gatorade sooner. Twenty-five years old and always thought it was a stupid marketing ploy, but nope, drink it in the morning and I feel aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Right now I am snuggled into a king sized bed during this cold, drizzly evening, laying in complete darkness, with the fan on, a kitty and a blanket on me, and I am drinking a coffee with some Kahlúa. I feel like I am in heaven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perfect strength aswell 4.5% so I can drink it for ages without getting too fucked. Tescos do about 4 or 5 different big bottles so you can have one of each for a fiver. Estrella is alright so is the Czech one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
