    Tinctures - How to Extract the Essence of Cannabis - Tutorial

    Thanks for the info but it really doesn't help to know what the dosage would be. It's really a test to find out what works for you.

    Pre State Legalization qualifications?

    Hi Everyone, My state, NH, isn't legal yet but since three of the four sides of the state are states and countries that it is legal, I suspect we'll get there really soon; maybe next year. What I want to know, from those of you who's state is legal, what did you need to know, find out, get...
