Ok members!
Here's my "hurdle of today".
I have a couple ideas, but...???

A buddy is gonna make the 2 hr road trip to a dyspo in the big city of the "O" valley. lol

How do I get the "weed thing" behind the counter,
to break out the best flower in the place?
Besides flashing $$$ at them.

It will be the first flower/product ever from one of these places.
1st timer!!!
I just wanna see the shit and find out if the rumors are true.

So...
how do I get, what the "common folk" will never know exists?
Is there a way of obtaining,
such an item of such personal importance?
And that's my current hurdle.

Here in Illinois u dont even get to see it til u get out to car and open it up... Its no different than walking into a Casino and throwing 60-75 bucks on black or red...
Total bs scam way of doing it...
At least in Colorado when i visited, it was like a kid n candy store kinda thing..
Everything they had was in big jars behind counter u could look at and smell b4 u buy...
Loved that bout Colorado..

Ive herd in Missouri they let u see it before you buy...

In Michigan they have sample buds in a plastic container that are locked to the table like cell phones are in a cellular store. They have holes drilled into it so you can "smell" the buds but usually it doesn't have any noteworthy smells.

The Amish need to be running the show then.
We used to go to Sugar Creek Ohio, in the late 90's and that had cheese samples of every cheese in the store. You went to a pastry store and they had samples of all their products.
And it was actually "free" to try them all.
I was bound up for a week after getting back home.
But yea, that's bad when you can't see or smell what you are buying.
Fuck that!
But to someone wanting to get high, don't have a choice.

That's really BS,
very unfair way to do business.
Who set up this clusterfuck?
Definitely not a very high IQ group to have "clustered" together to make the rules.
Could be buyin' toxicity wrapped in a gift box, and people go right ahead,
instead of refusing to buy?
There's the problem.

Well fuck!
I'm stoned.

You can't buy THC flower in Ohio yet.
I gotta smoke some more weed and get past this "hurdle" now😩.
If its anything like NY it will take at least a year to open legal sale. It was a weird "limbo" where it was totally legal to smoke and possess... but illegal for any sale. So how are you supposed to obtain it, even with growing being illegal at that point. Naturally people crossed the borders lol. Then NY fucked up the whole flow of things by pausing opening of any new businesses because of their inability to recognize giving a fair chance to Veterans to open a business. Its ridiculous... mean while the farmers were told to start growing 2 years ago and now have been sitting on literally $750 Million worth of weed with no outlet to sell it.

But some of the recreational dispensaries here that were lucky enough to open, they have sample jars you can smell. But anything you buy has to remain sealed until you leave the building. I suggest once you get back to your car you open the bag to make sure they at least gave you the correct order. But i doubt you can actually open the products and complain if its garbage.

The remaining 95.3% is distilled water. That’s one of the issues with bottled nutrients…you are paying a lot of money for a bottle that is mostly distilled water.
Yeah I agree. I try to buy anything dry if I can. It's just their marketing makes it sound like they were doing something to create more than just a simple nutrient trick. Like they found some sort of hormone or hormone inducing to signal the plant to finish. I wasn't sure if it was something that could create an environment in the soil that would mimic seasonal shift and lowering of nutrient uptake. Sometimes on products you don't have to list every ingredient (usually depending on its category) and I wasn't sure if there was some "proprietary secret blend" shit going on. But Sounds like they did a decent job marketing it then, because they had my attention curious haha.

Ohio did what the people wanted, not the gubmint.

If the gubmint had wanted it the backroom deals and shady "campaign contributions" would have already been in place and the ball would be rolling on day one.

Why not have a dude or dude-et..???...behind a glass,
stick your bud next to a hose and you stand "downwind" and smell the damn shit, as it blows out the hose and then watch him!!!,
as (pronouns) vacuum seals it in your "healthy ass" plastic wrap to walk approximate 20ft out the front door of the place a tear it open?
Am I understanding this right?

Damn it!
Where's HAF when you need him?
Lucky for them, I've never walked in and seen one in action and the "process" you, the customer goes through.
This cannabis market is gonna end up like the housing thing in the 2000's.
Another Netflix movie has magically appeared,
called "99 Holmes".
It's a gem, let me tell ya!

Weed is exactly like tomatoes.
Dispo weed is the produce section tomatoes at the grocery.
Top shelf dispo weed is like that little slice of "organic" in the grocery produce section that charges more but still has no flavor or nutrient density.

The concentrates (from what I hear) you need to know what you are looking for.
There's purpose made hand-crafted hash rosin made by companies competing to have the best on the market.
Then there's reclamation from flower that didn't pass all the tests to be sold as flower.

A woman I know was telling me she got her medical card so she could have access to the “medical quality weed” at the dispensary. I had to explain to her that it’s the same shit and that people who know how to grow well produce flower that blows away dispensary weed. The issue is that most people bought shit weed before dispensaries opened so they think this mass produced shit is better because it’s in a pretty package and is sold in a store.

I think tomaotoes is seriously the easiest way to make the connection with non weed people. Pretty package in the store, or that basket your neighbor just brought over with no "government protection".

As far as testing goes they batch test. means nothing. "Hey Bob, we need another test, break out that clean sample". I think with the THC numbers being skewed by labs to unrealistic proportions all faith in labs is shot. Or it should be.

For any testing on a speciffic substance there is a national standard - a calibration tool - used to make sure all testing equipment in the country for that sustance is operating off the same baseline. Weed is illegal. There is no national standard. Tests are random as fuck based on whatever the testers deem profitable.
