The thing is, I have never bought flower at a dispensary. I only go there for vape carts or edibles. I especially like those 1:1 pill looking things. I can't even remember the last time I smoked a joint or hit a bowl.

Look, stop paying outrageous prices. All you need is to read 1 book about growing weed watch 1 grow journal that has every step germinating, veg, flower, dry and cure. Then distill into an oil and package into it's container. Just some money for a couple plants, the parts for your diy vape, some youtube videos, a degree in chemistry and engineering and a few months of your time. it’s so easy a idiot like me can do it.

Sure, it's easy. But a dispensary is convenient. People are willing to pay for convenience, me included. Does that make me an idiot? Probably, but I have way too many things and too many projects I'm working on to take on something else.

That is like 2 steps too many for what I want. It takes me 20 minutes to go to a dispensary and pick up what I want.

Bro, did you invest in your own injection molding machines to make your carts or did you outsource?

Have you seen outsourcing prices?! I also wake up early on trash day to go through my neighbors’ recycling.

We grow a lot and hit the dispensary as well. My other half loves the hobby/skill of it and bringing joy to others for Christmas, Birthdays, Fridays, etc. Once you grow you have the start to producing any sort of edibles one can think of. No shortage of brownies or gummies in my household. I personally like the standardization from a vape pen as well.

Same here but I'm more like your SO. I enjoy growing and having flower on hand because it's a fun hobby, but we still enjoy visiting dispensaries every once in a while for high quality vapes or precision-dosed edibles. Doesn't have to be one or the other.

I wouldn't, however, buy flower from a dispo for almost any reason.
