I don’t think there’s any room left in the market up here. Prices are currently lower than they were in the late 1980s.

Good luck, everyone and their brother thinks they'll make it big selling weed here. That and half the state has a backyard grow already.

TBF JAR is a pretty well established operation.

JAR is the shit. We used to drive almost 2 hours to go there because they had the best prices.

Agreed, once they moved over to recreational it became obvious they were just as money-grabbing as everyone else unfortunately, they hiked up their prices and it’s just too much.

Kinda funny that you can buy Big Papi’s orange dreamcicle or lava cake blunts, but you can’t buy menthol cigarettes in many cities.

In many places you also can't put edibles in colorful packaging or have any type of shape (gummy bears) that may be attractive to children, but beer cans? Sure, that's fine. 9 out of 10 kids prefer Orono Tubular, a great beer in a totally tubular can!

You can soon buy marijuana products from Red Sox Hall of Famer David Ortiz’s own personal brand.

That’s the result of a partnership between Papi Cannabis and JAR Cannabis Co., a longtime presence in Maine’s medical and recreational marijuana markets, according to Maine Biz.

Ortiz, affectionately known by New England sports fans as Big Papi, developed Papi Cannabis with Massachusetts-based marijuana retailer and wholesaler Rev Brands, Maine Biz reported.

Under the new partnership, his Sweet Sluggers blunts can be bought at JAR Cannabis stores in Newry, Portland, South Portland and Windham, starting in April. They will be available as a single for $18 and three for $50.

A Rev Brands spokesperson told Maine Biz that the expansion into Maine is an opportunity for Ortiz to “bolster his premium brand.”

JAR Cannabis was formed in 2012 to serve Maine medical marijuana patients, and it operates a medical marijuana shop in Windham, according to Maine Biz.

I think people got over the pre-rolled blunt phase pretty quickly. Years ago now. 18 bucks is nuts too. Can get a whole eigthth of primo for just about that same price on the medical side.

Remember when he bought Sisters' Salsa, changed the name and caused sales to go into the shitter? His name wasn't worth what he thought and the original name was valued more. Awesome salsa, BTW.

Good luck with that, Big Papi. The market is saturated everywhere. Canada alone is sitting on a billion gram surplus. The situation is similar in California, where growers are going bust as the industry recalibrates the supply and demand scale.

I think Ortiz has swung a little late on this pitch. The ball is already in the catcher's mitt and the game is over.

Whaaaat? What's the story?

I remember there was a fair amount of hullabaloo when he was shot, but I have never heard of any accusations like this!
