The claim asks only for permission to sue, rather than requesting that the claims commissioner directly award damages.

Office of Cannabis Policy Report Identifies Harmful Contaminants in 42% of Samples Collected from Maine’s Medical Cannabis Program | Office of Cannabis Policy

Just because it’s cheap, doesn’t mean it’s clean.

Where is the guy that said he trusts his plug? Care to submit it to the lab?

Remember how DCP used to issue monthly press releases celebrating cannabis sales totals?

They did this every month after adult use began, and did so consistently up until the first month when sales declined rather than increased. Then their spokesperson tried to play it off like they had always planned to stop doing it at that time.

No other Connecticut industry enjoys this kind of behavior from its regulatory agency. Maybe that’s because no other industry feels entitled to success and not having to compete.

Instead of downvoting this factual post, maybe join the discussion and help make things better.

In case you needed another reason not to shop CT

Literally fresh out of the package. I’ve had people tell me “oh but they can’t fill it all the way!!!” All I’ll say is that Sweetgrass uses similar cart hardware and they fill theirs up all the way. Unless the mass of thc oil changes depending on what state you’re in then this is just a straight up ripoff

Advice on how to grow

Looking to start growing my own. I have plenty of space in my basement and a window I can easily vent out of. I know there are kits on Amazon, but I’ve heard those are horrible. I’d like to start in the $600 range but could go a little higher.

Please give me product suggestions and or growing guides on how to do it (I know there is coco vs soil)

Why don’t the licensed operators work to fix the broken market structure? It’s pretty simple.

When Connecticut legalized cannabis, lawmakers explicitly opted against a free and open market, instead empowering regulators to arbitrarily cap licenses and control supply. If you want to understand why current operators aren't fighting to fix this artificial bottleneck, you have to look at the underlying economics.

What we are witnessing in the state is a textbook case of regulatory capture combined with rent extraction. By tightly controlling who gets to participate, the state has created a dependent licensee constituency. The industry's silence on meaningful market reform is simply system justification reinforced by a patron-client relationship between operators and the regulators who hold the keys to the market.

None of the current license holders advocate for dismantling this broken structure because they directly benefit from it. They operate as a privileged minority, defending an exclusionary system simply because they receive a share of the rents it creates.

The defining feature of this market is that the minority's loyalty isn't bought with a massive amount of upfront wealth, but with the exclusivity of that wealth. For these license holders, the barrier to entry isn't a flaw to be fixed. The barrier to entry is the actual product they are defending.

True equity requires open markets, fair competition, and accessible capital, not closed loops that protect a hand-picked few.

RSO

What’s up with RSO in MA?? I couldn’t find a more appropriate sub to MA where I wouldn’t get bullied :’( I’ve been getting 1:1 RSO adult use in MA for years now because it’s so much cheaper than having a med card and getting it here. But now, I haven’t seen it as adult use at any MA dispensary in the last two weeks. The 1:1 helps me soooo much and I really don’t want to have to renew in CT & shop here but I’m almost out and can’t find it anywhere. Did some law pass or something there that I’m not privy to that they’re only selling it for medical now????
