Yeah I also help pick up trash in the area. Not sure why people downvote these comments. Some people in this sub are seriously delusional and in denial.

Everywhere does have littering problems, yes. NJ being densely populated and being part of the commute in the tri state also makes it more congested and prone to littering. It's no secret we have littering problems and like you said it's a repetitive thing. It's never going to stop, you have to do it every week and it really can't be limited to like court ordered community service.

Looking at the detrashed pics of before and after is such dopamine release for me lol

Suck it up and move in with parents or suck it up and live in shittier neighborhoods or get a roommate and suck it up with the pros and cons of roomies.

Yeah welcome to the club lol but if the places you're looking at is near 2k you are kind of searching the wrong places to live. I can find a nice 2br, 1 ba, laundry and utilities in North jersey some of em in bergen. Probably multi family house though.

That depends. Are you buying black market brands? If so I'll pass. I can pay 40 bucks for Blackwood Cultivation .5g carts because it's some of the best tasting carts out there. I wouldn't touch Cakes or Jeeter Juice brands for example with a stick. Those pur pods and the like are all what's called boof brands.

However, if you're getting legit CBX for example, then you're way better off. It's better getting good trusted brands but they can also be bootlegged by fakes too. You got brands like Cake and Big Chiefs which are just bad whether or not they're legit or faked.

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.

And 1000% shittier. Products here so bad. I just get stuff from Maine and sometimes Cali. The price is right in Maine for the quality. Especiallt if you vape flower. Some of the stuff I've never seen from weed, whereas the only surprise I get from Cali was zkittles and fresh baked products.

Maine Crafy Cannabis. Blackwood cultivation. Omg. So good. I've never thought those flavors were possible..I recently tried Albarino. Shit smells ans taste like grapefruit. Meanwhile NJ, runtz doesn't smell or taste like what you read about. We got inconsistent, dry weed. Some places have sold moldy products. Cartridges clog consistently. Cartridges are disgusting black and dark brown.. this is not what carts should be. I've gotten many carts from maine and they taste amazing and way better and they're ALL golden amber or light amber.

When I was a kid, a local library helped me stay fed as an immigrant family with no money. I couldn't afford lunch and this was at the point my parents worked 6 am till midnight. I wrote book reports on books I read at the library with a volunteer tutor who taught English. You can exchange that book report for a small box of personal pizza. The limit was like once a month but the people at the local library gave me a voucher any time I brought a book report.

Idk if those people are still alive or on reddit or what but they really saved my ass and helped lighten some burden off my parents.

We talk shit about how expensive it is to live here but taxes and people donating to local charity funds really helped.

Right now, libraries are amazing hub of modern media. Think like Barnes and noble but free and you can check out and borrow shit from the store.

Well with Breakwater we will agree to disagree.

Sure go ahead with the downvotes but it's just not worth driving 2 hours there and back for products that I get are inconsistent and nothing people say on reddit will change that and they're not good enough to justify 2 hour drive when I can get someone who delivers Maine stuff to my door. On top of that it's fair to say cannabis affects everyone differently so if you like it more power to you. I dry herb vape so terps are very important to me and inconsistencies stick out like a sore thumb.

I've been told people never got chloroform tasting weed from Rise yet I've gotten them all the time from strains I get many times to know it's not normal so let's just say people get different batches and maybe you're very lucky with BW. I'm not alone with that and that still doesn't change that they lack in potency.

Fwiw There's a lot of bad Maine cultivars like Green Truck. You can't tell me though Breakwater is anywhere near on par with Maine Craft Cannabis, Frost Factory, Bissell Buds or Mentation though. So I agree being in a better state doesn't automatically mean you will be protected from the bs in our state just like how being in the Grey market doesn't automatically mean people are getting good/better weed. Also, even for cultivars that I find are on par with BW like Native Relief and Skunkfoot, they're still way cheaper than BW so again 2 hour drive for expensive weed or no drive for cheaper weed that I think is better. It's a win win and I think it's fair to say cannabis is a medicine that affects people differently. I gave BW credit where it's due. No need to downvote because I don't like your tribe. People were raving about the papaya strain from BW but imo that strain was nothing special. Papaya strains are nothing new.

BW really just needs a solid competition imo to take them to the next step.

As for the final point in regards to grower wirh tlc vs industrial corporate growth, price issues causing dispensaries to close down in California. Something to consider.

Breakwater is ok but they are kinda inconsistent and dry and when it's dry it can feel terpless. Also some of their strains just lack in potency. Maybe I just have a high tolerance.

They're the best dispo in NJ as far as I'm concerned, but they're also the only decent dispo in a sea of bad MSOs so it's also not saying much. Love their pheno hunts and small batches events. More dispos need to do that. I go to a local grower and he does pheno hunt boxes and it's the best. His stuff puts boujie craft brands from Cali and Maine to shame. I think once the legal industry settles in more, people will realize that a meticulous grower who puts TLC in it is incomparable and likely won't be toppled by industrial scale growth cultivars aka dispensaries weed will never be as good as it should be.

I would love to see what this grower can do with some seeds of Animal Face because as it is in the rec market, great strains like grease monkey and animal Mints are considered boofs.

Pretty much. A lot of these events do have some decent plugs but some of them also sell boof bullshit products.

A lot of growers too. Grand majority of them aren't great but there's a good amount of decent to amazing growers in the black market that put these dispensaries to shame. I'm a medical patient and I haven't gone back to a dispensary in several months. Just no point when your plug is getting you stuff from craft shops from Maine. California too but it's way pricier and generally not as fresh.

I see these events happen every month or so but a lot og these plugs operate off of Instagram or telegram.

No but they can mandate a hospital to signing on out of network docs from a practice or medical group properly so it gives them more time to see patients or perform their work without as time crunching pressure. Also it's not doctors really doing patient care. In those cases, docs will at most see you for 15-30 minutes. Nurses are doing all the patient care and they're understaffed to all hell and the best way they're getting help is from techs and aides who aren't getting paid enough for what they go through. Why put up with all the bs of patient care when Walmart is paying the same

I mean you really only described one of many of the shittier caricatures/stereotypes of doctors so I'm gonna venture and guess you were surrounded by the numbers doc/the ones who audit their own practice and timed each second as valuable because time is money rather than time can save lives.

Yeah there are these kinds of doctors around. There are nurses like this around. There's plenty of great doctors out there who are just normal people. Maybe because doctors are just normal people, not heroes. Healthcare workers are normal people.

Half the times, I see people talk down on doctors and such, it's always based on an idea of a person representing the entire profession for them. Or people judge people worse for not living up to the expectation that they're heroes.

Seems to be a common thing on social media these days for example to call nurses mean girls and think bullies end up nurses and nursing is to girls what cops are to men. Like where are all these asshole docs and bully nurses? I work in patient care. As far as I can tell, more than half the times patients or their families are nasty af and staff just trying to remain calm while taking abuse.

I mean we can start the efforts to phoning our state senators and legislators on mandating safer staffing and such. Understaffing a unit can harm patients yet hospitals continue to do it. Because healthcare is moving MORE towards profit driven model, even non profit, not further away.

Doctor shortage is something that's gonna exist no matter what in the modern world. That's why all this move towards delegating what tasks can be delegated is being done.
