I live in a medium sized city in California, I moved here in 2010 and have been buying weed from dispensaries consistently since then, although it has been a rollercoaster of pros and cons to the whole medical/recreational system in CA. For the first five years it was the wild west, 30,000+ recommendations in the county, 35-50 dispensaries, massive variations in price, quantity, atmosphere and quality of product and customer service from their employees. The laws changed a few times, shitloads of shops get raided and shut down, some survive but most never come back. For the past five years it has been at least three times I have pulled up to a dispensary and seen Police SUV's with K9 units in the parking lot. The cops shake the weed shops down for their cash to allow them to stay open while still periodically raiding them for 'breaking the county's strict rules'. Some places are still being dumb keeping a high profile with an online presence and making it obvious what they are doing. Since recreational passed only certain places still require recommendations and only a few have to check your State ID. For most of 2019 I was buying weed from this place close to my house, shitty as fuck ass shop- crack house vibe. Totally obvious and visible from the street, smells like weed from yards away. Decent prices but mostly shitty chemically-grown weed that is so harsh you can barely hit it. Rude ass budtenders who are constantly fucking up because they have been taking dabs since 9 AM, some straight up ripoff artists. Plastic CoVid tarp separating customers from staff making things awkward as fuck, can't smell or touch the weed total guessing game. Armed security making everybody nervous, and the employees are on watch for the police knowing they could be charged with felony distribution any day of the week for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This situation slowly filtered all the decent budtenders and now all they have left are the dudes who think they are Tony Montana making minimum wage and collecting face tattoos. The shithole used to be a rub-and-tug massage parlor
In September I get a text from a homie who used to work at another shop I was going to in '17-'18, telling me there is a new dispensary in town and I've been loyal to this place ever since. It's discreetly located in an office building in an industrial park, tucked away and hidden from the street. The dudes who run it are cool, clean-cut smart dudes with checkered pasts (gang-related shit) but have moved on to be family men and health and wellness-oriented guys. Their 'front' for their business is that they liquidate overstock pallets from big box stores, and they sell high-quality CBD products too, ironically now they make more money from CBD than they do from selling flowers. Behind the counter is the secret stash of flowers and wax, some heavy Hybrid Indica (my shit) in stock all the time, strong Sativas if you want a head buzz, and if you want cheap they got bomb nuggy shake for $20 an eighth. Almost all is organic. They even got scented candles going to mask the smell and a fountain with lights in the lobby looking classy. These guys and their wives are so cool, such nice people and they hook me up just because I use to come to them all the time back in the day. They give me extra buds for trading clothes and shoes with them. I smoke a lot along with all my family and most friends so I am seriously ultra stoked that I have a place to cop my dope now that is clean, safe, reliable and trustworthy. Place just looks like a plain old office, if you didn't know you would never guess that they were selling bud in the CBD product room, they got a warehouse in the back for the trucks to unload the pallets everything looks legit. These dudes are killing it, they're in their late twenties and have already got it all figured out with how to get money without slaving away for the Man. A little more expensive and a little further from the crib but this place has got my support from here on out.

Rude ass budtenders who are constantly fucking up because they have been taking dabs since 9 AM,
I feel like this is standard of most of the 'low tier' dispensaries here in CA. At my cousins dispensary all they do is dab all day and sell shit weed to tweakers and broke people, and occasionally fight with them.
But yeah, shit sucks now ever since recreational went into effect because of ridiculous taxation and regulations. Back in the wild west days of medical, there was over 120 dispensaries representing all price tiers here in San Jose. Although a lot of them were illegally operated and let minors purchase because they would barely look at ID's and not require medical recommendations. Also, a lot of shit didn't get lab tested so edibles were strong as fuck at some places. Still, prices were like half of what they are now.
These days I have to watch my spending, so I found it cheaper if I dab instead of buying flower. I can go through a quarter of flower faster than I can dab a gram of concentrates, so I buy a weekly gram of budder for about $45 after tax.

I’m in Texas, I have 1 main plug and ounces run from 180-250 depending on the quality of the bud.
I usually buy the cheapest option my guy has. He always has good quality weed even when he had a cheaper and more expensive option.
I used to have to drive 30 min to meet up with him but now we live like 10 min away from each other.
I had a dealer in the small town that I used to live in but he was not reliable with quality AND I used to sell him ounces of fully cbd bud and he told me he flips it as dro.
So I stopped buying from him and stopped selling cbd weed after a little while.
I usually snap chat my guy on fridays and ask if he will be available when I’m off work and he usually is.
One of my best friends has more plugs than me but his tend to be higher priced and it’s not always better weed.
But today he bought some really nice top shelf but it was $50 for the 8th.

I live in a beach town in California and we have a ton of dispensaries in our county, including one that's supposed to be really cool within walking distance of my house. I haven't been there yet because I have a sick dealer that has drivers who deliver straight to my house. He has a really good selection of weed, edibles, and other stuff that's way cheaper than dispensary prices (those taxes will really get you). I just got a half ounce from him for $70 the other day, which was his middle-tier stuff. I think his top tier weed is like $40ish an eighth, and his lowest tier is $20 an eighth. The middle-tier stuff is always good though. The dispensaries here are really nice and bougie, but I've been to some where the staff are kinda vibey and don't seem to be stoked.

I go to this big fat, 50-something year old redneck guy. He’s pretty cool I guess. Has like 6 cars parked in his front lawn and a really cute dog that looks like scooby doo.

This is the correct way to purchase weed.

I had a guy where I used to live who just always sold me some of his that he got from a dispensary. I've moved and I have never boughten weed from one myself and I never wanted a card, or cared to. My grandma used to grow hers herself and I've been thinking about carrying on the tradition.
Also I have a bunch of CBD stuff, because it's so common, and that does absolutely nothing for me.

SF is cool. I go to one in the Outer Mission and it’s legit. The lady checks your ID, you stand in line with other cool people, buy 4 gs of strong Indica hybrid for $23 and I’m set for a while.
My homegirl gives me edibles all the time so I don’t know how much those go for but I always have boxes in the stash. Seems expensive and I don’t really like the processed shit as much. I’m old school and cranky so I just like buds in the chillum or I’ll roll a pinner with Clubs.
The ones in Sac were more sketchy. I remember one in Midtown that smelled up the whole block. Don’t really notice a smell in other dispensaries so I don’t know if they were growing it in-house or what.

Drive 20 min to the dispensary since this wack ass town banned them all in the 8 years I was gone. Walk in, decide what I want out of every possible thing I COULD want, pay, leave.
It's embarrassing to say I vape, but I switched to vaping oil about a year ago, mainly use ROVE, price is kind of high, but it lasts long and is good quality. For me vaping oil is good because of the consistancy of the product if I want to buy it again. It's less harsh on my lungs, but here's to hoping I'm not going to get throat cancer in 15 years.
It's also rare that I actually enjoy the taste of weed, so thats good too, I also don't stink. But I love joints.

Text my dude, he's pretty decent compared to some of the nightmare dealers I've had (this one kid looked like Bieber on meth and rode this fucked up old motorbike).
He's usually got a few choices, which is pretty rare for SA and just just started doing vape pens.

I'm in Brazil so it's usually just going into a very narrow alleyway where there's people selling drugs. There's a spot that they sell near one of those electricity towers, it would be really cool if they didn't ruin the place with their drug dealing, before people would just go there, make a fire and hang out.
-
I can walk a half mile down the road, prove I'm over 21 and purchase. There are only a handful of stores in my state that they allowed to do this. Its funny because there are 4 stores (of any kind) all together in this town, and one sells weed. Vacationland indeed.

I don't want to buy weed. I want to grow my own. I hate having a green thumb and not wanting to get my house seized. I'll be a 100 years old before I can do it legally.

You should! I grew for a hot minute and had a max of 3 autoflower plants going at a time and was able to smoke for two entire years off of just two harvests. If you have space for a 4 x 2 tent then you could absolutely do it and be very discreet about it. What type of draconian drug laws do you have where you live?

Because of the child safe packaging and supply chain of it all now that it's legal, the health authority has an absurd moisture limit that the weed has to be dried to to make sure it doesn't get moldy while sitting around. All the legal stores I've been to have tried to push year old shit but even if you get stuff that was packaged a month at the earliest and it still sucks. Edibles are limited to like 10mg/package too. It's gonna kill the industry up here

I stopped smoking weed and went sober but I tell you how it like buying weed in my area.
I live in a provincial city in Russia and it is not as easy to buy weed as anywhere else.
In Russia, there are several options to buy. One of the options is to know a plug. Most people sell shit or synthetic hash, but if you want to smoke good weed you need to know the weed growers.
The other option is much harder and more dangerous, but if you don't know anybody, it might work.
You need access to the darknet. You go to the onion website, sign up there and choose the product you want and all purchases are made at the expense of Bitcoin. You choose the area where you will be picking up your stuff. When you buy a product, you are given the coordinates and a photo of the place where the product is hidden. And now the hardest part is getting to that point and finding your stash. It can be really difficult, especially when dealers bury the goods, most often in the woods. The easiest way to pick up drugs is to hang them on a magnet. Very often the shops where the drugs are sold cheat people, they give out the wrong addresses or the weed stash are simply not there because someone has already stolen them. The police are also often in collusion with such shops and they turn their customers over to the police.
In Russia, the laws are very strict and brutal, and the police pigs who want to put you away or bribe you. They can put you in jail for a long time for weed. I could go to prison many times, I ran from the cops, I ran from the car, I was stopped by the cops when I just picked up the weed. Often I couldn't find a hidden point and left with nothing, spending hours looking for stuff. I've spent a lot of money and nerves on all this fucking stuff and I don't want to do it anymore.
-
Funny, I grew up in Southern Russia in the 90's and the place was fucking flooded with heroin. Don't know about weed.
-
I drive 3 mins to a plaza by my house. There is a weed store, a deli/butcher, bakery a grocery store, and an lcbo. I pick up weed once a week or two while running errands. $21 1/8s, its pretty great.

I walk across the street and go to this place called Cookies. It’s all right. Sometimes there is a line. The security guard showed me a video of a ufo on his phone once.

We have really shitty edible limits in California too. Edibles have always been a hassle for me I think because of my metabolism. I always had to get super strong ones to feel anything or make them myself really strong. I’d eat just a little bit of food so that they would (in my mind) stay in my stomach longer and have more time to get in my bloodstream. But even then I could eat big doses and might not get any effect. With the new laws I bought two packages of edibles and decided not to waste my money on them as long as 100mg is the limit for the whole package. It’s 10mg per serving limit and the package can only have a max of 100mg.
I will say I’m spoiled where I live. I haven’t bought weed out of town in many years. I went to a dispensary in San Diego a month ago and the prices are fucking ridiculous.
My little town I grew up in is one of the main commercial grow areas in the state now and they just made like $1-$1.5 million more off weed taxes than they did property taxes. They have more free cash now than they ever had, just a decade ago the city was on the verge of bankruptcy and getting rid of the police department.

I don’t pay attention to a lot of like development in weed so this is the first I’ve heard of it. Supposedly a place by me sells it so it’s something I will def check out. Is it not classified as an edible or something? Does Oregon have similar limits?

I buy from a dude Ive known forever. He always has like 5 or 6 strains.

I live in Floriduh it's a collosal pain in the ass. You'd think it's easy especially when you hear outrageous stories about Floridaman.
Nope if you're not from here and a white dude in the hood you're a target and a magnet for someone's bullshit or something similar to getting ripped off.
Once you have a good consistent connections keep them and never get anything on front. & if you do get weed or something else do not ever reveal where you live..
(Any numerous reasons someone who is going to sell to you they're definitely trying to suss you out if you're an odd one out)
I know in hindsight it sounds extremely prejudiced towards dealers but I do believe if there's anything sketchy albeit tweaker's crackheads or junkies regardless of what race they're at one point or another if you live in the hood your house will or could be robbed.

I've been out of the loop having not smoked for about 8-9 years. Started back up around this time last year, and it's been awesome. My sister has MS and gets me a cart from the medical-only dispensary biweekly. I just take a couple puffs on weeknights after work and 4-5 throughout the day on weekends. Love the almost no-smell factor and convenience. Weed is great but I think it deserves respect, no smoking heavily till I can't get up like old times. Just enough to add a little positivity to the day. Jah bless and shalom.

I don't know if I mentioned this on here before. But like 2 months ago I got mine delivered. The last time I had done that was the first day I had a rec card when you still needed one in California, that was 10 years ago. In this area it's only delivery, I always drive out of the area and buy because I didn't trust delivery and now even more so. I called them up to deliver me a Rove cart. He swing by, I pay, and walk back inside and instantly could see this shit was fake as fuck. I knew the price was too good to be true but they were supposedly verified on WM. I called them up and said I wasn't taking that shit, they could come back with my money or some flower. Dude came back, gave me a ton of good weed but I will never fuck with delivery in this area again. Fuck those dudes, they got shut down less than a month later. God knows what the fuck was in that shit.
-
I live in DC, it's super easy. There's a ton of delivery services, I just picked two that I liked the most and switch back and forth between them depending on who has better indica options. There's a loophole in the decriminalization law that passed so basically I buy a sticker pack/rolling papers/whatever and get a "complimentary gift" of an eighth. Some places are more bold but those companies tend to not last very long. I could also get my medical card and go to the dispensary but I just don't care enough to make the appointment, especially since I don't smoke as often anymore.
It definitely beats all the weird and sketchy situations I would get in growing up in Northern VA just to buy weed that was super hit and miss quality wise, lol.
-
Picking up one of those weird ass King Weedy shirts with the "complimentary gift" has been a highlight of every trip to DC I've taken over the past few years. Wasn't there a post here a few years back, right after cannabis was decriminalized in DC, about someone or their buddy living above a weed shop and the alley next door consistently being filled with never-worn souvenir shirts? Too funny.

The only time smoked a nice strain was when some friends came back after trimming in the states and had a bunch if good seeds.
I stopped smoking a long time ago because the act of buying weed here is such a hail mary.

it's a shame that the weed stores in MA are pushing dried, false percentage product. But really, for the suckas shopping em, they deserve to over pay for bad weed when there's fire on the streets for under $200/zip. Fuck Legalization. Keep the Black Market alive!
-
It used to be via plug only but in the last few years getting weed has never been easier for people on the street. weed is illegal here but enforcement is usually pretty relaxed and we have a Telegram platform called Telegrass where you can shop around for weed through areas and find a local dealer that will deliver it straight to you, it actually created alot of competition and lowered prices drastically. it used to be about 30$ a gram for years and you usually didnt get a choice, you got what he had, now it can be as low as 7$ a gram if you buy bulk for low grade weed, about 10-15$ for mediums and 15-20$ for great weed. medical weed also leaks into the market and is usually pretty easily found on Telegrass
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D1sF44iWoAANvO2.jpg)
it has regional groups and is anonymous, has costumer reviews, banning shitty dealers and it made weed dealing way more accessible for people who are not criminals and really changed the way people get weed here. we even have to wait less for dealers now because they know you can get weed elsewhere. for being an illegal drug it feels pretty chill right now, i wish it was legal to grow, but from seeing how some people have to get weed in other places in the world we really have nothing to complain about.

Easier said than done but there’s growers out there similar to a buyers club, gotta get on every month or so but you look after your boy and they’ll look after you. My shit comes in glass jars with strain and pheno labelled I like nerding out on high quality weed
It’s all out there, tinctures, rso, bho, shatter, shit that goes in a vape pen. The only think I have had difficulty obtaining is live resin. I’m sure someone has a vacuum oven somewhere though

That’s amazing. My dad has a graduate degree from Gallaudet(hearing, was a deaf educator). Never see much mention of it. Might need to take a trip and buy him a print. He wouldn’t like the gift, so win-win.

If you haven’t had them in the fridge maybe don’t start now but please look after them!
A friend knows those lads, they’ll be back
I know those strains you mentioned and they are great
My favourite of theirs is gold glue but haven’t had any of that in a long time
-
Super chill. You go on the dispensary website. Pick what you want. Select the pick up time. Drive up, show I.D. Walk in and pay and go home. Everything is super clean, very professional and friendly staff. Glad I live in this state. Can’t even imagine worrying about catching a case over a bit of trees.

I live in cali so most of above however I am mental so when I got my rec the doctor said I can only smoke indicas and the budtenders even after I tell them that still screw up my strain when recommending product. like these kids need to know what they are selling and most of them dont. I'm all for legalizing it but I think it was all better like 10 years ago. I rarely dabble these days anyway. I can only smoke for like three days before I start to feel funky.

You can buy it but you should use it with a dab rig or a CBD vape pen to get the most out of it.

I buy directly from 3 craft growers, one in BC and two in Ontario, the best Canada has to offer. There's hundreds of Online Weed retailers, but I work with those three only now.
Canadian legal weed is terrible and I'd rather support the black market, stuff is so much better and cleaner when you get it from the right place.
I ask for their menu on Wickr, make a selection, send EMT and get my tracking # an hour later. Takes two days to get to my place and the mailman brings it directly to my door. Been like this for six years. That's how I buy my mushrooms as well.
Plenty of websites also, for mushrooms only as well. There's something for everyone, whether you're looking for a 99$ oz or want the high-end 300$ oz, it's there and so easy to find. It's just like purchasing on Amazon.

There's so much propaganda in the states that presents black market weed as chemical, mildewed, or supporting organized crime. People are saying "it might be expensive at the shop, but I know its been tested." Give me a break.

Same in Canada. I've seen legal weed with mold, some that wasn't properly flushed and burned black, some that can barely stay lit and some that was so dry, it'd crumble on the drive home. Some just tastes like straight-up ass, I've had better tasting cigarettes than this crap. A lot of it smells like hay, some has a faint skunky smell, but overall it's bad. My shit smells through a mason jar, burns snow-white and tastes like a blue popsicle.
It's terrible and I haven't bought any since the week they legalized it back in 2019. Some of my friends smoke it regularly and it always looks so disappointing. It's essentially what low-mids were back in the mid 2000's. Price-wise, there's no difference from black market stuff. If anything, the black market is better than ever and much more accessible these days due to prices being the same. Cool thing is cops don't give a shit unless you're affiliated with either gangs, the mafia or the Hell's Angels.
The growers I buy from are just regular-ass dudes who are super passionate about growing amazing flower. Took me a while to find them, but I'm stoked on the whole thing.
Edit: I’m talking about Quebec’s legal scene, I don’t know what it’s like other provinces.

I drive past the building I used to do substance abuse therapy (for weed) to get to the dispensary.

The pack was green but when you smoke it it hits a lot less smoother than the exotics you’d get at say Entourage another DC provider.

The dispensaries (Lynn Salem) suck as of late. More than just lately.
I don't understand how things ended up this way. The black market is barely hanging on and it's a pain in the ass to deal with.
People are trying to sell shit that's rotten or whatever.
I wish I could go back to right when legalization happened. That seems to be the high point in street bud.
I hope to get the October call soon. Go trimming get some bud.
I kind stopped talking to everyone outside of slap.

I've had herb from those Salem shops before, it was really subpar. There's some decent small growers in MA/RI these days, but what I hear from homies and see any time I'm back, is that the fire is coming from Maine. ME has been growing the finest herb on the beast coast for decades now. Pretty good outdoor and the indo game is on point. @Seventyfuhkinseven knows about that shit 8)
@Uncle Flea
what are you seeing for black market buds and prices in your neck of the woods? Is it all molding west coast outdoor or what?
From what I'm hearing, it seems like a pretty average price for seedless outdoor/greenhouse is 125-150/zip. Indoor starting at 200 up to 350/zip for that exotic fire from Maine. I'm always curious what different price points are at different points in the state

I can vouch for this, I think its harder to find bad weed than good weed. And like 90% of the good weed is REALLY good

Don't know the prices for sure it's probably around 200 zip.
Local to Marblehead Salem Lynn I gave up on street weed.

Haha yeah full though the same thing when got it, no nice sized nugs in there haha
That was 120 a quarter people are charging crazy prices for green atm heard of real nice shit going for more
Got a mate that grows real small scale and mostly for fun, they usually good for like an ounce a month for 300, can’t really get much more than that out of them but I reckon am lucky to have that
-
Ironically I live in Canada and I still have “a guy” for flower pick ups. The dispensaries up here havent made it to washington state or Colorado. Plus any flower you buy under $12 a gram comes so poorly cured it turns too dust. Heres hoping our market gets over saturated and ends up like washington.
I get AAAA flower from my dude for $15 an 1/8th. $100 an ounce.
-
I don't smoke, but have gone into a bunch of dispensaries with friends. I live in Bend, Oregon where it's legal and there's like 20 easily accessible spots. They're super clean and feel like a doctor's office.
-
PDX is amazing for sampling flower, there is so much diversity in the metro area. AmeriCanna RX has maybe the biggest selection but the place feels like a shack and sort of sketchy. my favorites are Kings of Canna, which has ridiculous $3 grams on very kind nugs, and lately Deanz Greenz who sell flower from Lifestyle Farms, which incidentally David Gravette is part owner of or something. the Trainwreck, Lemon Meringue and Wonder Dawg (Williams Wonder x Chem Dawg) were all 4.50 a gram and have incredible aroma and taste.

the weed fairy

We had the funniest situation in DC for awhile. Weed was leagle to possess and smoke, but not leagle to sell or buy. Some smart entrapreneaus had a genius idea to wrap some nice cars (Lexus, etc.) in weed leaf themes and cruise around the big bar areas on weekend nights. For $10 a piece, they would drive you around the block and smoke everyone out, then drop you back off at the bar.
-
It's pretty easy to buy weed in my area because I live in Canada now, and it's fully legal here. I can own up to 30 grams and grow up to 6 plants at home. It's immensely cool because I need weed to maintain a good quality of life.
I can order it from the weed store and top Burlington dispensary (https://thespotcannabis.com/) online and not worry about any issues with the police. Many people I know buy it from the same place.
It's cool that the government doesn't mess with what we want to consume and how to spend our leisure time. For instance, I love to relax after work and smoke a good joint, and I don't want any president or a PM to tell me I cannot do that.
-
I live in Finland and it’s fucked out here. Weed is super illegal, if they caught you they’ll give you fine and raid your home to see if you’re growing… I like to smoke at home so that’s not big of an issue for me, been smoking daily since -98 and got busted once which was my own fault but it sucks still.
-
The native reservation around the corner from me has a dispensary and I buy 25$ quarters from them once every 2 weeks. My tolerance is super low these days so I take one rip and I’m fucked for like 2 hours. Can’t understand how I used to be blazed at work all the time but then again since I quit smoking so much I switched jobs and now build air ducts so there’s no room to fuck around like that.
-
Buying weed has become more accessible everywhere, and my experience has been pretty positive thanks to a friend who opened a dispensary. It's not just because he's my friend, but his shop uses some pretty cool tech to stay ahead. He's got this affordable pre-roll infusing equipment (https://www.sortingrobotics.com/jiko) that makes a difference. The machine, called Jiko, can infuse pre-rolls of different sizes, adjusting pressure and temperature to get the infusion just right. It's got a touchscreen for easy adjustments, which means the quality of what I'm buying is consistently great. This kind of automation helps him keep prices fair while offering top-notch products.
-
I prefer to cop from my dude. Much better rates than the shops around me. But I think he's getting out of the game so now I'll have to pay top dollar at a dispensary. A $40 1/8 ends up being $48.25 after tax. Not idea for my rate of consumption.
I do like getting CBD flower from this one shop in town. Its way cheaper and I like mixing a little of that with my high test bud to achieve various levels of stonyness.
All I buy is flower though. None of that novelty bullshit. And I decarb all my bud so its ingestible as well as combustible.
What kind of taxes are some of yall paying on top of the sticker price at shops?
-
I know a bunch of different growers all around the country (Canada).
Just hit ‘em up on Wickr/Telegram and they over-night it to me.
Legal weed is pretty bad here.

UK weed market had been transformed in last few years........my guy now sends a menu, with about a dozen choices - green, vapes, solid, shatter etc......its quite unbelievable the evolution from the dark old days of eighths of 'rocky' cut from 'soap bars'.

I also live in the UK but my experience is very different. Although we might have these instagram accounts with their menus and whatnot, the weed they sell is all the same (at least where I live - north east). You can find weed that smells different when you buy it, but after a while, and especially when it burns, it smells the same. I am sure the local market is dominated by the same 3 growers who never flush the plants, and who have been growing only varieties of "dawg" the last 4 years. All weed is this super dense, heavy nug type, smells like stardawg and just gets me paranoid, without getting me stoned. I now just quit, and have a puff from my girlfriend's joint once a month or so (I regret it every single time I do, because of how it makes me feel). The reason I say that the weed is not up to par is because the times I made concentrates recently, I had extremely low yield even though I used very "heavy"/dense weed that smelled super strong and made me extremely paranoid. I tried different methods too, that I have used for over a decade.
In the late 90's to mid 00's, weed was all different and the strains were very distinct, from the looks to the smell, density, stickiness, and high they gave you. I would prefer cheap hash than this chemical monstrosity they sell now.
I don't know what the situation is in other areas, and I am sure you can get decent weed in London but Newcastle/Sunderland are shit rn.

What's pre ground cost in your area. What's the numbers on the THC level of the example?
I just got a half zipper for 50-60 bucks. The numbers was kinda low tho. For 75 you can break 20% at my local.
I'm in love with someone there maybe. Idk. They're awesome so I come back.

I don't know if your post was directed to me, but I am not sure on the actual thc content. I wish I could measure that. I don't buy it any more because it sucks. Last time I checked it was around £50-60 for a quarter. To be honest, I don't care about thc content, as long as the gear tastes nice and gives me a pleasant high. The weed I have been complaining about is full of chemicals. Even the way it sticks to the bag or other surfaces is not what I have been used to the last 30 years. Just different.

I hear what you are saying......but I can't comment on how things are round your way. But you might be right about all the choices being similar if not the same, and not necessarily being great quality.
Have you checked out 'drew is sharing' on youtube. He's done a pretty comprehensive study of the UK weed market and there is definitely a broad variety of strains available.

^ Thanks, gonna have a look. As said above, I am sure there is variety in the UK. Just my local market is all the same shitty stuff.

I moved from LA to Seattle in 2018. More recreational shops started to pop up and I remember buying 1/8ths for like $30-35 sometimes. I visited LA last year and was shocked at how expensive everything had gotten. If it weren't for all the first time deals I would have spent more. I now live about an hour out of Seattle and the town doesn't allow dispensaries so I drive to the next town over and do a weekly haul at the dispensary since it's 30% off every Saturday. I do miss the old days where they would weigh the flower in front of you and let you smell it before you buy.
-
Not legal in any sense here in Tennessee, but I've got friends to go through if I'm running super low. Otherwise, I'll take a trip to MO where it's recreational.

Been seeing and smelling weed store weed all over now that im in Babylon. All smells the same. I know its weed, but its almost as if the “breeders” are working toward a uniform floral smell far removed from the traditional “skunk” aroma. Its all somewhere in the GSC lineage- strong weed with high yields and big buds, topped off with industrial weed ag approved foods and ferts, youve got the homogenization of a market. No different than all the mr. nice going around for years and years being called “purpz” or “kush” or “piff” or whatever.
-
Buying weed is so 2010. It literally grows on trees. If you buying weed in 2024 first of all thank you but also you need some friends that grow.

The weed situation in New York right now is bizarro world. We’re basically swimming in the shit but quality and prices are all over the map.
Basically our last governor was getting trouble for some sexual harassment and he thought that he could save his reputation if he jammed a weed legalization bill through overnight. So it’s one of weirdest and most poorly planned legalization laws in the country.
Now like 50% of the bodega storefronts have converted into unlicensed weed stores. Most of them sell products with California labels on them but there’s no way to verify what’s real and what’s fake. I don’t know who buys that shit. Probably high school kids, tourists, and people who don’t know any better.
There are very few actual licensed dispensaries because of all the red tape involved in doing shit legally. The ones that do exist are totally fine, but there aren’t enough quality growers to provide them with truly top tier product yet. Multi-state operators (corporate weed brands) aren’t allowed to come into our market yet but they will be in another year or two. I don’t know what that will look like but it will probably be a whole other mess.
A lot of people still use delivery services just like they did before legalization. The menus have gotten much larger and in my experience they still have the best products.
But now, to cope with all the competition from bodegas and licensed shops, a lot of the delivery companies have started selling other shit. Pretty much all of them sell mushrooms (or “mushroom products” like synthetic psilocybin gummies, which is a whole other issue), and some even started selling acid, k, molly, etc. So unfortunately the legalization process has pushed some vendors into sketchier and more dangerous products.
I’m all for making those things more widely available if it’s safe and regulated, but they’re most likely being shipped thru supply chains in China and Mexico that also process fentanyl so there’s an inherent risk of cross-contamination with all those products, which I think a lot of people underestimate. When you buy K from the friendly neighborhood weed dealer who you trust there’s a real danger of false confidence in what you’re getting.
In light of all this I would recommend that people learn to use fent test strips if you do any drugs other than weed, it could save your life

I don’t know who buys that shit. Probably high school kids, tourists, and people who don’t know any better.
stopped by a dispensary last time I was in NYC and walked out after seeing everything with California labels and was told I could pay by card
