wacky1980 Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 wife and i had some time to kill the other day so we went to a nearby dispensary. gotta say, i feel so super hip and cool, going into a well-lit, clean, pleasant-smelling store, and chatting up one of the budtenders (cringe) to discuss the finer points of thc consumption. never mind that a single j ("pre-roll" if you use the lingo) of some random shake costs $18, or a tin of 20 mints or gummies runs $40. i was hoping $100 would net me something a little more ... substantive ... than that. oh well, at least my budtender wasn't a 50+yo obvious barfly who found new work doing something she was previously used to doing in the alley for a quarter of the price (plus a cheap beej if she's in the mood). wait, yes, she was totally that person. but at least the mints are alright.
JehutyNinja Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Budtender is at least 100x less pretentious than an Apple "genius". But nice man, hope you got some good stuff
resurrected Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Going to the dispensary here means, sneaking up to my dude's job and slipping him a hundred dollar bill and him delivering my shit a few hours later.
wacky1980 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Posted July 29, 2020 ngl, legal weed really isn't all its cracked up to be. the state went legal on 1/1/20 and for a couple months people went ape shit. both because it was finally legal, and also because it was so god damned expensive. the tax rate approaches 40%, which is just insane. for that price, i can afford to go top shelf with my local guy.
JehutyNinja Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Legal recreational is pretty garbage tier But legal medicinal...mmmm, let me tell you
cyberbully Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 I have no idea what they are doing up there, but top shelf is like 12 a g....House around 7....And I was getting that for 3 when my girl had her shop, but I think I made a post about it here recently and how than pandemic/state growers are killing the little guy.....No sure if I actually posted it or just typed it and said nah.

You gotta remember this is the entire reason any U.S. states even considered legalizing it again in the first place.

Poof Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 All I know is legal weed in CA and NV was fair priced and high quality where I went. Only a lil more than street price which is fine w/me. No complaints. The medical dispensary here in youngstown ohio idk the quality bc I'm not bothering but you have to get halves for it to be considerable. Belows halves they sell it by overpriced grams and 1/10ths. TENTHS. Like wut? But who cares how much it costs in a store when the whole point is just to not get arrested for it? And legalizing without letting ppl grow for personal use is bullshit. Probably contributes to your bullshit prices in illinois.
JehutyNinja Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 In Colorado, specifically, Fort Collins, this dispensary I used recreationally, sold 1oz of top shelf for $120 after taxes, which works out to like $4.30 a gram The top tier shit "Wllies Reserve" is over priced garbage

Probably contributes to your bullshit prices in illinois. the original version of the bill allowed 5 plants per adult. i already have a basic grow room in the basement for other plants, and we were ready to make some upgrades. then that part of the bill was stripped out in the final revision. if you have a medical card you can still grow, but rec users can't. fucking sucks.

Le Guignon Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 $21 I only got a g because I wanted to try out the strain since I'm looking for a low thc and high cbd one. The pre-roll was also a g. The edibles are sort of fancy ones I prefer over the $6 ones for the same thc dosage.
Lasty Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Dude, joints of random shake at a dispo here in Portland are like... waaay cheaper than that. You live in the wrong state. Move to Oregon and help us use civil disobedience to secede from the union and form Cascadia...
