Reply to comment by R50cent in Vermont Cannabis Sales Totaled $2.6 Million During First Month by BudsKind802

I make my own with avb that are around 80mg but I would really like to be able to stroll to the store and buy some decently dosed ones. Also what they're charging at ceres for 1g carts is 15$ less than I paid for 3 coming from out of state. I would really like to support local businesses but things gotta change first.

That’s that 92% wholesale vape tax for you. And FWIW ceres is actually cheaper than the others that have carts that I’ve seen. I think GSG has only one strain and it’s a 0.5G cart for $60. Ceres is 1g for $75

The whole over taxing of vapes is incredibly dumb. I did see that cart on the gsg website. I would have to have absolutely 0 tolerance and only use it once a week to justify that cost. I'll stick with my 30$ ones from out of state until things get better here.

The other huge pain is that bill also made it impossible to order rolling papers... I'm handicapped and can't roll so I used to buy big packs of cones and use raws "six shooter". Its just not an option anymore. Websites literally won't let me ship it to Vermont.

I think you are able to get products shipped to retailers and then pick up from retailer. I had to do this with a PuffCo vape product. It’s apparently so the state knows that underage persons are not buying this stuff.

I can, but it then gets hit with the vape tax as far as I know and doubles in price. Cones are already expensive enough for a pack of paper...

I looked at Amazon for what you want and there's nothing about not shipping to vt. Also all the head shops here carry them.

As soon as I try to order it says they won't ship to vt

From amazon?

Yup

I want to try but I mostly use a dry herb vape these days. If they had a cheap option I would take a stab at it just to see.

Where do you go to get them? Living up in the northwest corner of the state it’s hard to justify going to MA

MeowWhat t1_j14ukom wrote

Someone I knew went to mass I think and bought them in bulk. I paid 35$ for the first one then later 3 for 90$.

There is a "Get Yours" in Johnson Vermont, same group of stress used to be called "Good stuff". They are cheesey headshops with sex toys and Chinese glass but, it's a head shop. They have papers and vapes and stuff

whaletacochamp t1_j16nenk wrote

But they’re not a dispensary so they aren’t selling THC cartridges

Pretty sure I replied to the wrong comment, pardon. I thought I was helping someone find a good source for papers.

These things are laughable vs. making your own from locally made sauce. Even Natures Way is like half the price for way better quality.

whaletacochamp t1_j14ry3d wrote

Can you get natures way shipped here?

fakebeerrealweed t1_j14u424 wrote

Yes, and that means EVERYTHING in their catalog. Don't forget your coupon code!

whaletacochamp t1_j14ucu6 wrote

Neat. And they’re reputable? Some of their stuff looks gimmicky af

MeowWhat t1_j1551ng wrote

I'd like an answer to this as well. Their site has some neat stuff and some stuff that looks ridiculous

I'll find out. If I don't report back in a week, you'll know it's a Fed front

EDIT: I had to take a picture of my license and another with me holding up my license. A little weird for verifying the age of their customers.

I also was able to pay for it using a credit card. Usually cannabis businesses cannot take credit cards due to Federal prohibition. That's what makes me nervous but 10 minutes in and the Feds haven't come knocking yet. At least if it's a scam I can get my money back.

The sketchiest part so far is that their customer service uses some gmail address.

EDIT 2: My card was charged by packaginggod[dot]com, which looks like they sell containers for cannabis. I don't see how the companies are related.

I would be kinda leary of this place. Not a single item on sale has potency listed it's like nothing is tested at all. Not been to a disp in years but when I did everything was labeled fully.

2

BudsKind802 OP t1_j15g71r wrote

Most of the edibles I picked up listed potency for the whole package.

I noticed not just the lack of labeling but also some really big inconsistencies with their descriptions for the products. Some had something that was ripped from another review site, but most have no descriptions at all.

Also how does a 1ml cartridge compare to 1g? Weird to have different units of measure.

To keep, 1g means that the cart has 1g of concentrate in it. The volume is kind of arbitrary as the amount of concentrate is what matters. But by saying 1ml what does that really mean? There’s 1ml of liquid but how much of that is concentrate?

9th State has 1 gram vapes for 66 dollars out the door (tax included), not as good as street prices but much better than anywhere I’ve seen.

MeowWhat t1_j170149 wrote

That has to be a very small market given where it is

You’d be surprised, that place isn’t doing Burlington business but it’s booming. That’s alright, it’ll be my little secret. 😉
