I am originally from the US and when my state first really loosened medical it started popping up all over the place. People would fill scripts and then flip it for double cost, I am sure people that didn’t need scripts got them and it became a whole industry. But here in AUS all I see are garbage Black Walker vapes on Leafed. Comments here mention it’s cheap Chinese import junk and just get a cert. If the pharmacy has carts and vapes for $50 on prescription how are they not on the streets for like 100-150?

Not super familiar with AUS medical, I assume scripts are for very low quantities? I haven’t seen anyone selling anything in the medical packaging. It was the total opposite in the USA, I guess dealers felt that selling the medical was like a sign of purity/quality so tons switched over.

After states legalized it didn’t matter much anymore because people just drove across borders. But in those early days you couldn’t tell a plug from a pharmacy except for the price.

I ventured out recently and tried astrophotography for the first time here in Australia. I went out during a bright moon so I waited until moon set to get full darkness photos. This is one of the shots taken. I never expected so many stars. Like of course they exist but I captured too many of them making a static like look rather than highlighting the subject of the milky way core. So I’d love some advice on this. The shots just feel too busy rather than artistic.

Do we remove the stars or make them more subtle in post? Do I change exposure time trying to capture less stars? Do we not take photos at full darkness to avoid this?

Camera A7V, Sigma 14mm-24mm, 15-20secs, 1600-3200 ISO across the night. Single shots not stacking.

How is medical not hitting the streets?

Too Many Stars?
