Is Resin A Good Replacement If Marijuana Supplies Go Dry?

For those who were stoned over the weekend and may have missed the big, albeit not surprising, news: President Trump has decided to extend the social distancing guidelines until the end of April. It means we can expect another month of shutdowns, lockdowns and other semi-apocalyptic gobbledygook intended to prevent the spread of the nasty disease known as the coronavirus.
