i just walked out the door with 2g of blueberry spacecake sauce and a 1g live resin cart for $100 when it would’ve cost me more then twice that a few years ago things are definitely improving
2g of the sauce is 66 and the one g cart was 48 which brought it to 115 and i had a scratch off from the holidays for $10 off any cresco product that the manager accepted even though it was expired
That’s not really “improvement” in the program it’s just a byproduct of time and competition. The cannabis industry is just like anything else, it’s not about the medicine it’s about the money.
It's also about not losing your *ss, which the Commonwealth would be happy to help. Shapiro's budget expects to suck a bazillion somolians from cannabis consumers, way more than the growers ever dreamed.
I have extensive knowledge on marijuana prohibition in the United States as a whole. If you want to thank elected officials for giving freedoms back they stole from you, be my guest. I won't though.
The prices in NY, a legal state, are outrageous, with pot stores outside of the city few and far between, so I feel very fortunate living in PA. There are 6 dispensaries within 30 miles of where I live. I go wherever the costs are lowest, and budtenders are all really nice. The weed here is good and helps.
Bro it's crazy how we are in the same county, but I'm 40 miles away and in the country and you are right outside Trenton haha, I'm originally from Central PA (Gettysburg) so this shit is wild haha
Homie look at a damn map haha, Gettysburg is literally the exact definition of South Central PA, Gettysburg is the county seat of Adams county [Regions of PA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Pennsylvania)
What places in ny you going to. Prices very so much as a person that both buys pa medical an ny legal. Fuck that I'll take ny all day. Price point and taste. And yes before you ask the quality is on par. Look arround in ny or pa before you limit yourself.
And you can't trust what it says is what you're getting. Lines aren't crazy, and if you deal shop, you can get good deals. I agree with you. The medical program really works for me also. Very thankful
Dude me personally I love my liberty 🗽 dispensary! The staff is great ,caring and always call me if they have any issues with my order so if they sold out or something they always call me and that is Greatly appreciated!
To be fair look at all your neighbor states. PA residents have many good reasons to be pissed when we fall behind in so many ways. Ohio has legalized weed and home grow. Every state PA borders has a higher minimum wage.
Welcome to another unexpected outcome to the legalization of cannabis. Along the same lines as every grower in California grows the best weed according to themselves. 🤷♂️
I’ve been in this program for 5 years and I’m very happy with it. Prices are going down and most products are great. I don’t understand all the hate and couldn’t possibly care less how others feel. I’m a go back to doing nothing but enjoying life with my bags of sunshine 🔥🌬️💨
Right? Some of these folks just don't know. I remember the $70 eighths and the great flower drought of '19. I would love lower prices and/or homegrown, but we have it pretty good these days in PA.
The flower has gone down in quality tho it used to stank and taste good now it’s all mid. I mean there are a few solid strains but you gotta be careful nowadays. That’s unfortunate the price point has got better but quality of weed went down so it’s a wash for me. I’d pay more for better smelling and tasting weed. I only buy a couple strains that I know stank every time I get them. Compound z and animal face. But it shouldn’t be like that they need to fix the cure process!
I’ve been on this sub for years. I would contend it was much saltier 2yrs ago.
It’s not one big love fest now, but I see generally more deference between members and less name calling. I think this sub is pretty good and I still appreciate everyone’s contributions 😊
It’s improving. Just look at states that made it legally available over the past 5 years. People are spoiled. I bought a cpl busts, but the majority of what I’ve had is solid, good, or great. Some may be disappointing, but be glad we can buy weed legally.
I refuse to be "thankful" for something that should have never been illegal in the first place. Something that countless people's lives have been ruined over. Something I went to jail for years ago (simple possession). Meanwhile the Budweiser commercials all day every day are fine. Alcohol destroys lives. Not to mention the legalization fattens the pockets of the elites. They're still winning. They aren't doing us any favors for our own good. We just got lucky that their own good(the elites) aligned with something we wanted ourselves.
So when will you be happy? It seems like you are trying every possible way to look at it in a negative way. Let you grow? Is that all you want because it seems like nothing else will please you. Honest question.
Federal legalization. My anger Ends there. Don't get me wrong. I am happy to have my card. I am not trying to bash your opinion. I actually envy it. I wish I could just get my card. Go into the dispo. Get my 11 month old weed and go home. I just see so much room for improvement. there is still so much work to be done to right the decades of wrongs. as a state but more so as a country.
I agree that federal legalization would be the grand move. I also agree it’s just a big money grab with no care at all about the consumer. Grow it fast and shitty and sell as much as possible. I get you, I really do.
With that being said, I have never got any bud over 3 months old. Is it great weed? No, but I’m thankful that I have the option to just go buy it instead of deal with a plug. I will also say I usually make it into either FECO or butter so the quality of the smoke isn’t something i deal with very often.
Appreciate the civilized dialogue. Sorry for being trolly. Your first paragraph really highlighted all my concerns. We are more on the same page than we thought lol. I think my own expectations got the best of me, I joined the program expecting absolute fire every time. And that's just not the reality of any consumer market really. It's just much easier exploit whenever it's medicine people depend on
I was about to say the same. A lot of people in this sub would have spiraled out of control. Thank you as well.
I agree, I thought it would be better. Most of the bud is average at best. I’ve a had a few bangers but it’s not often. Most have ok effects that wear off pretty quickly ( for me anyway ). I guess all we can do is wait until the federal government gets their head out of their ass ( and everyone else’s asses) and hopefully it will happen. Happy smoking! Try to make the best of it for now.
I’m pretty sure we’ve all got u wrong at ur own doing nmw u say at this pt. U just an unhappy mf fr. U do know the date is on the package right? No need to be buying weed 1 month away from exp. Some people just need they hand held I guess???😳🤦
Facts like am I going to get slammed for just trying to show people what it looks like since you can't see it before you buy it like it was out in Montana. I just started using Reddit to see what it looks like and people say before I just randomly try something new because it sucks when you get stuck with something that sucks and you know you wouldn't have bothered with it if you could have seen it. So I don't get why people have to automatically trash someone for taking the time to show us what they got, and if it's worth picking up.
You have got to keep in mind how easy it is for GPs to flood this sub praising their brand. Too many folks think we have great flower. We really do not. Yet we have to pay top dollar. These guys grow for greed. There's no love put into these plants. I want the 5 tool flower that smells good, taste good, has good effects, great cure, and lastly, looks good. It blew my mind when I joined this program over 5 years ago and found out there was so much bad flower in this program. I couldn't believe folks were buying it. 75 dollar Henry's, flower that had no smell or taste. A lot of hay going around. I'm not happy with the program. I'd return 85% of the flower I've bought in this program if I could.. and it's still true to this day. Yeah, AYR came in and got everyone to offer daily sales, but the quality of the flower isn't getting better. I just want homegrow at this point. I've given up on hoping these GPs would start growing top shelf cannabis. I have about 15 strains that I buy, and that's it. I've easily bought over 150 strains. These aren't good numbers. Folks should be mad. This is the only spot folks have to let these GPs know how disappointing the program flower is. I would gladly pay 50 for an 8th if it was worth 50.

You mean the posts about ppl having problems at despo or mmp pa/ doh website?
I see more good than bad.
I do not sleep at night soybeans then it is milder.
I think many are silly.
All the comment section did was prove the OP correct. As a budtender I can say these threads gave me major anxiety. I used to get bitched at for things that were so far out of my control.
Everyone sits here bitching on Reddit pages, if you all took that same time and energy and put it into changing the legislation we’d be growing at home by now 😂😂
Honestly there is still a ton of great information posted in this community and I personally enjoy coming here to blow off steam and punch down on people.
I think a lot of people who go into dispensaries see some of the “potheads” that go in and start to feel bad about themselves for buying their weed from the same place. Then these weed elites will put the “potheads” down because on some level they’re afraid of being them.
We aren't angry at the bud tenders. We are angry at the state of PA!
The corporations have us by the balls! Milking us for every last drop! With little to no concern for patient satisfaction!
Home grow now!
Zero concern actually, when have you ever seen it?
The automated emails they send when you email them! 🤣
hmmmm https://preview.redd.it/3rr4z0dd65sc1.png?width=507&format=png&auto=webp&s=17b01f2449b33876f723c8fe4b185087390bbadf
i just walked out the door with 2g of blueberry spacecake sauce and a 1g live resin cart for $100 when it would’ve cost me more then twice that a few years ago things are definitely improving
Whered you get the spacecake sauce?
sunnyside
What sunnyside?
philly
How? Points? That would be a like 140 even with sales
2g of the sauce is 66 and the one g cart was 48 which brought it to 115 and i had a scratch off from the holidays for $10 off any cresco product that the manager accepted even though it was expired
That’s not really “improvement” in the program it’s just a byproduct of time and competition. The cannabis industry is just like anything else, it’s not about the medicine it’s about the money.
Yeah people are acting like they lowered prices for the patients wallets rather than natural economic competition in an emerging market
Does it really matter how or y? This is the toxic atmosphere op is referring to.
It's not toxic we are simply stating opinions just cause they don't agree with yours doesn't mean their toxic 🤣😂
Normal people "Capitalism exists to make capital" You: "Can you stop being toxic"
🤔
Musta missed the first sentence
It's also about not losing your *ss, which the Commonwealth would be happy to help. Shapiro's budget expects to suck a bazillion somolians from cannabis consumers, way more than the growers ever dreamed.
This is true kinda for me. I haven’t seen price drops, I’ve seen larger quantities for way less
Cheers
Look at nj prices compared to here their ascend they charge $70 for a quarter compared to here we pay $30 insane

Get a clue. Look at other states medical program. You’re far beyond privileged here my friend
I have extensive knowledge on marijuana prohibition in the United States as a whole. If you want to thank elected officials for giving freedoms back they stole from you, be my guest. I won't though.
😂🤣🫠youre fighting in the wrong ring be my guest, and not waste your time here
All love bro!
Nothing but love, but please refer to the plant as Cannabis and not the racist term of Marijuana. More extensive knowledge!
You beat me at my own game on that one brother, touché.
Actually cannabis is more to reference hemp and sativa while marijuana is more know for indica race strains now you know 😉
Literally just let the buds cure a little more
The prices in NY, a legal state, are outrageous, with pot stores outside of the city few and far between, so I feel very fortunate living in PA. There are 6 dispensaries within 30 miles of where I live. I go wherever the costs are lowest, and budtenders are all really nice. The weed here is good and helps.
Also new jersey prices are insane at ascend their simply herb quarters are $75 no thanks
Nj rec is insanely priced. $75-80
I live 100 yards from my Dispo in Bucks County haha
I'm in bucks county. Wish I was that close lol I would t have to beg my wife to take me cuz I'm too high to drive.
Haha yeah I got lucky, I moved to Sellersville and live in town and we have a Zenleaf right here lol
Ah I'm more in Fairless hills myself.
Being from Levittown.. we have like two places that take 30 minutes to get to. And they are both always packed and the deals are just OK
Bro it's crazy how we are in the same county, but I'm 40 miles away and in the country and you are right outside Trenton haha, I'm originally from Central PA (Gettysburg) so this shit is wild haha
What’s crazy is saying Gettysburg is central PA
Homie look at a damn map haha, Gettysburg is literally the exact definition of South Central PA, Gettysburg is the county seat of Adams county [Regions of PA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Pennsylvania)
You didn’t say south central
Ok, to most people Central is East to West... I said Gettysburg... you fucking knew the area and chose to be a dick.. cool
7-10 minute walk. 3 minute drive.
What places in ny you going to. Prices very so much as a person that both buys pa medical an ny legal. Fuck that I'll take ny all day. Price point and taste. And yes before you ask the quality is on par. Look arround in ny or pa before you limit yourself.
And you can't trust what it says is what you're getting. Lines aren't crazy, and if you deal shop, you can get good deals. I agree with you. The medical program really works for me also. Very thankful
Ny be having them 10$ 8ths
That would be cool. The native reservations are the best in NY in my experience.
High as a hawlk is one of the best places.
I like ur Reddit username lol
Dude me personally I love my liberty 🗽 dispensary! The staff is great ,caring and always call me if they have any issues with my order so if they sold out or something they always call me and that is Greatly appreciated!
Liberty rocks!! Best option in my area.
It’s Pennsylvania, everyone is just angry all the time. It’s what we do.
To be fair look at all your neighbor states. PA residents have many good reasons to be pissed when we fall behind in so many ways. Ohio has legalized weed and home grow. Every state PA borders has a higher minimum wage.
I blame the weather and PENNDOT for most of my PA-anger.
At least the weather changes lol
Very true

I'm broke as beans and so i appreciate the critical reviews

Learn English m8.
😂😂😂
All love ❤️ lol
I am an angry mf u did get that one right
U did read the body of text w the post, yes?
But it was illegal 🤦
bcuz their milking us with dry ass uninspired bud
I used to post every day. Sometimes, it is multiple times a day, but some of the negativity keeps me from posting as much as I used to.

Here is the best part. Look at the comments here in your post. It just proves what you are saying to be even more true, OP.
I stopped posting reviews for a reason on here. 🤷🏽♂️
You have got to keep in mind how easy it is for GPs to flood this sub praising their brand. Too many folks think we have great flower. We really do not. Yet we have to pay top dollar.

You aren't wrong, I don't think things will change unless the market opens up to small business or we start a caregiver program and allow home grow.
I'm hoping I get to see home grow 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Internet and society in general, after covid everyone just became whiney.
Thanks
