Hi Steemit -
Days 6 through whatever number today should be was spent not blogging. This is a lot harder to keep up with than I imagined! (It did give my bandwidth issue time to resolve itself. I think. Let's see when I hit post...)During my first few days, I thought I had a lot to write about and I lived a full three days in my mind turning every THING into a post. I took a thousand "in action" shots to document my days but when I went back to look at them I was just confused. Why would I snap a photo of my blurry hand reaching for a coffee? How does one grab the perfect shot while not holding up the line for 15 minutes to get the lighting just right and the weirdo picking his nose out of the background? And then it came to me! I need a personal videographer. And thats not awkward at all. So. No more counting.
On another note: I figured out how to utilize my wallet and purchased something off the market! Not exactly sure how this helps me yet, but fingers crossed it goes towards more bandwidth to upvote :) I wanted to share the youtube video I watched that was SO helpful, but in true form, I can't find it now. Annoying, I know. Sorry.
So while not blogging, I was occupying my time in LA. Not my favorite city by far, but I did come across this nice reminder on my way to find bagels. One thing LA does have is beautiful street art. The graffiti is like none other!
Trying new restaurants and hunting out local favorites is the best part of traveling for me, although I do admit to being a bad asian and using a fork for my basic sushi order of tuna. Regardless, this conveyer belt dining thing is definitely for me. Minimal interaction with everyone, maximum interaction with my food. They should offer this for all cuisines....
It wasn't all eating though, I did put in some hours trying out a new business idea. Check out the process here and weight in on the controversy - machine vs hand trim!

Very relatable, when I started I also took pictures of everything only to realize I didn't have a cleu what to say about them.
But I just kept on going!
I wished I could work in the USA, but its hard to get a green card.
Maybe go on a vaccation and see if I could find work in the cannabis industrie.
Im from the Netherlands, worked in a dispencery(Coffeeshop) for a few years.
Its kind of a dream to come to the USA.

What about a work visa? I actually work with a number of foreigners who come for the same reason. A few have been able to extend their stay and one just never left after it expired, lol. Truth be told, I was lucky and happened to have a friend who had a friend to hook me up with a job initially. I cant wait for coffee shops to be able to allow sales and smoking here! Why the USA - for the cannabis industry or something else? It seems it would be easier to stay where you are at and grow within. Ive been to the Netherlands once, when I was a teenager. What a gorgeous country! When you make it to the US, let me know!

Mainly indeed for the cannabis industrie
The problem here is growing cannabis is forbidden by law.
And the climate is better in places like california.
I hope soon haha would love a vaccation.

It is?! I thought Europe in general was much more lenient. And what about Amsterdam being like, the main location to go in the world for cannabis cafes? Look at this video my friend just sent me:
Would be a great solution for growing in not so great climates :) And also making the world a healthier place by making fresh veggies more accessible. But also for ganja. LOL.

Yeah I know, but we have really strange laws here, its illegal by law to grow or sell, so the shops buy it "Ilegally" and can sell it legally.
Its like the government turns a blind eye.
The shop do pay taxes, so essentially de goverment gets money from criminals, most big growers are criminals out for profit.

Its actually very similar here right now. With the laws for each state still evolving to allow medical and recreational cannabis there is a lot of grey area to operate in. For example, Massachusetts started off that way. If you were a patient, you could get a prescription and legally purchase / consume / grow but there wasnt any way for the dispensaries or even dealers to obtain it legally in the first place. Loopholes were created, and basically anyone could be appointed to purchase cannabis for you if you were unable to travel outside of your zone due to the low numbers of "legal" places to get it. Its never really legal though, since the federal government has not changed their minds at all. Taxes have just started in California - 9% we paid the other day. Ive seen some people being hit with up to 40% tax! Its going to get ridiculous.

It is! Did you see the post my BF made? You can see the machine in action! This one operates on the simple idea of suction. The quality is pretty good - depending on the strain, you cant always tell the difference between hand trim and the machine! The downfall is that it doesnt like all strains, and will not treat them all nicely. Its a lot harder to learn the machin than it looks, but once youve got it down you cut your trim time down by alot. We did 221lbs in 5 days :) https://steemit.com/cannibus/@nutinbutdatruth/pounds-on-pounds-on-pounds

It really depends on the strain! I tell our clients that the machine does not FIX your bud, so if its not quality going it, it wont be any better coming out. But when the purple ferrari (my nickname for it) likes the strain, she treats it really well and will save a lot of time and money. Overall, Id say its worth the investment for any farm that does multiple harvests or one with over 100LBs at a time.
