[edit] BC residents

"However, most BC residents smoke weed either grown outdoors on the islands between the Mainland and Vancouver Island, or that which is grown by friends and family."

Can this actually be proven? Has it been proven? I believe a statement like that needs a reference. --NateW 06:22, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

That is where the outdoor is grown, though most of the weed we smoke is indoor. HighInBC 04:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I came here to just dispute the same thing, so I'll change it. -Lommer | ^talk 23:57, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] $6B

"worth an estimated $6 Billion annually"

Is that in Canadian or American dollars?--Pyroclastic 19:47, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Isn't it pretty much the same? Suppakid (talk) 20:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] sovereignty

The bit about the "violations of Canada's sovernigty" (sic.) is clearly non-POV and is more fit for an editorial; seems to be a thinly veiled stab in the direction of the DEA/Mark Emery bit -- while I may agree with the spirit of the sovereignty issues, as I say, it seems (to me) to be completely NPOV and might be fit elsewhere -- or perhaps re-written as a subsection of BC-Bud, as it certainly could be pertinent.

[edit] accuracy

Its hard to to accurately document facts pertaining to an illegal substance, but I question the statement about most BC Bud ending up in California, Oregon, and Washington. I have never run into Canadian weed in California that was superior to what California is producing. People in my circle stay away from BC Bud because it usually has a slightly chemical taste from imporper flushing after being hydroponically grown with chemicals.

My understanding is that the high quality BC Bud stays within Canada, and that the main reason BC Bud has a brand name like identification is because it is popular in states where high quality cannabis is harder to come accross. I feel that it seems unlikely that most BC Bud ends up in California, Washington, adn Oregon, because these states are producing cannabis of equal or higher qaulity then the exported BC Bud, and because it is grown locally you don;t have that whole pesky sneaking across the border scenario. 65.125.163.221 23:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

lol, don't tell our secret! Of course we only sell the second grade stuff away but don't sell them! HighInBC 04:12, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

The article doesn't seem to make any claims about BC Bud being better than cannabis from the Pacific states, so I don't think there needs to be a discussion about who grows better cannabis. But a source should be cited about the export to the US, and the concern arising from it; perhaps something from the DEA?

From article: The quality of BC bud is unmatched in the world, usually around 27.5% THC or more.

What is the source of that? I can't find it.

[edit] 27.5% THC, unmatched potency?

a load of bullshit, i deleted it, because it had no source, and i know for a fact there is no source, the quality of bc bud is not unmatched at all, that is completely absurd. there can be BC bud that is grown wrong and has a potency of 5%, there is no reason that should be on this page. completely stupid.

Trust me, it's top-notch if grown right, and they know how. [1] Law enforcement officers in both countries contrast BC bud with old-fashioned Mexican marijuana, whose THC content, the active ingredient in cannabis, is about four percent, compared with that of BC bud, which is around 30 percent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.23.168.23 (talk) 07:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

I came across article Beasters which covers the same ground as this one, so I think it should be merged into this one. Any objections? Phil Bridger (talk) 13:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

• Support. The Beasters article is mostly OR and should be expunged but a redirect here would be useful to readers. DoubleBlue (Talk) 15:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Beasters Redirected

I redirected Beasters to BC Bud, per the merge discussion, but since most of the article looked like original research, I didn't actually merge any of the content over. Anyone should feel free to look through the most recent version and merge any verifiable info into this one. --Aervanath's signature is boring 18:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
