Plus all that weed at rando smoke shops is TCH-8 weed from the pandemic era not the cultivated THC-9 stuff you get at legit controlled dispensaries around the country. It feels like back in middle school where all the dork kids and jocks are buying oregano from the stoners...

Or go to housing works. I went the first week to try it out happy to not have to pick it up from NJ or Mass., and I waited all of 45 minutes. It was great - chatting to the customers and passersby. It's got to be a smaller line by now.

Plus I prefer to benefit a non-profit not some scummy dude selling cut fake-ass headache weed.

I went the other day and they said line was about 15 min. I ordered online though so was able to walk right in and pickup, was in and out in under 5 minutes. So easy to do.

Nice I gotta try it out! Most of the stuff I've gotten on the street is kindaⁿ trash compared to curaleaf..

Yea, housing works has the same quality as I get in Mass or Nevada. It is short of variety now but I expect that to change. I just wish more stores would open up I hear the farmers upstate have literal tons ready to sell...

Haven’t been there yet. Do you know if they have a separate line for medical card holders? I know some legal dispensaries in other states do.

No but if you order online you just go in an pick it up. The pre-order line was like 5 minutes max. For being the only place it's surprisingly efficient but I went on a weekday.

You are right about these places selling bullshit but you don’t necessarily need to go to curaleaf or vireo… they over price for mids.

Flower been way better over the last 6 months and if you're smart you bulk up when they got 30% off everything (which is literally like every other week)

& I'm talking about the oil anyway - whatever they have on sale comes with test results but if you wanna risk your health on snake oil to save a buck go right ahead

What kind of “oil” are you talking about because I refuse to vape distillate no matter how clean it is. It just gives me a headache. Are you dabbing distillate or vaping? I’m assuming you are talking about distillate vapes… spend the extra money on live resin atleast… just make sure it’s real live resin,a lot of brands use wordplay to make you think you are buying live resin but it’s really distillate with live resin terps or cannabis derived terpenes. I mostly dab rosin and if it’s a vape it has to be resin or rosin. All that distillate shatter,crumble and thcA diamonds are gross.

any oil you can buy from these bullshit backdoor smoke shops ... I was buying the 90% liquid concentrate & smoking it in a rubi pen but I ran out & they don't stock it any more

Wtf is 90% liquid concentrate? Is that nicotine vapes? I never took a single puff of these nicotine vapes like juul or other shit. It’s bad enough I was uneducated and purchased hot dog water thc distillate oil early on before live resin and hash rosin was a thing,I’m definitely feeling the effects of vaping the thc hot dog water… I hope I didn’t do to much damage and all I can do is educate people so they don’t make the same mistake I did. Like you said,there’s now test results aka COA for thc vapes but I still worry about the metal leaching. The brands that switched to ceramic cartridges are moving in the right direction but still I think about how we are the Guinea pigs to this whole thing. It’s kinda like when ciggaretes was the rave and nobody knew wtf it can really do to your health. Remember all the cool looking ciggaretes boxes? Joe camel looking all cool on his motorcycle. Marijuana industry is kinda doing the same thing with these Mylar bags that have cool designs on them… they are specific targeting children/teens and that’s not cool. Also what’s disturbing me is that most teens get introduced these days to thc via bullshit oil that’s damaging them at an early age. Atleast when I started smoking 22 years ago it was just bud.
