Don't buy from dispensaries.

There are local purveyors that have better quality for better value.

A while ago. I used to work somewhere. And a dude used to show up and sell meats out of the back of his van. A ton of people bought steaks and all that from him. Technically, that is illegal. But we did it anyway. Because we got good value.

This is no different.

Many people don't really have that option.

Right and nor do I care enough to seek out my “local purveyor”

I imagine the prices will drop as the dispensaries become more available. They are opening a BUNCH in central jersey this year

Yeah this. Msos are garbage and they run this state. Trust the potheads when they tell you this is garbage because you're paying premium prices to get the best boujie shit to get garbage moldy dusty weed from NJ. There are few here that give me hope like Breakwater and Valley Wellness but they're nowhere near California. Maine is a nice new beacon of cannabis hub in the east coast that is setting itself apart with their uniquely terpy and amazing looking weed and the price generally tends to be half of what we pay in NJ. Some of these dispos knowingly sold mold and told customers you can't get sick from smoking moldy weed.

I'm not a really big cannabis user myself. Just not into it like I used to be, and even then I wasn't hardcore. Because of that, I really do trust the "real" stoners that I know. People that have done it all, been there and done that. I know a guy that used to be a judge for High Times back in the day, not to mention all of these other guys I hang out with sometimes. Not a single one of them goes to any dispensary. All I hear from any of them is how subpar the weed is.

This is genuinely not a flex. But I traveled the world looking for the best weed.

If you want to talk about highest THC & terp count. That's in California.

Stuff from different areas hit different.

Also it's about how the growers grow. I like organic no till products. It would be great if its sun grown or ocean grown but that is difficult to pull off without contamination.

So it's all subjective.

1 thing I know is that NJ dispensaries sell garbage bud.

THC % means nothing in the effects of how you're getting high. I'm not really sure how you can confidently say that. Places like Michigan are producing absolute fire flower and Colorado produces some of the best rosin/concentrates.

I basically said the same thing....

You did not. You stopped at California like it's the end all be all. Anyone that brings up THC % as if it's any meaningful factor kind shows their lack of education as well. You said you traveled the world looking for the best weed and only mentioned California. How is that saying that Michigan has some absolute fire flower and Colorado has some extremely high terp concentrates. Colorado and Oklahoma both piss on California's concentrates.

So no, you basically did not say any of what I said. You made it sound like California is the end all be all and that could not be further from the truth.
