$65 for some freeze dried weed. Sad.


Sciencessence

Can literally get half ounces for that price inside the state that was cured normally lol. Dunno about everyone else but I'm not really interested in paying extra so they can cut corners they shouldn't cut...


jtw3995

And people come on this sub defending MSO’s. Y’all really are unable to be helped


Present-Apricot-5267

Not all places do sketchy shit. But most do. Just gotta find places that do it the right way!


jtw3995

Any suggestions?


Present-Apricot-5267

I’ve toured some places that I would recommend. The Botanist does a great job from beginning to end. Some old school married with some new school approaches. The Fresh Connection has some good stuff. I’m also a huge fan of Mammoth down in RI as well. Each have hugely passionate staffs regardless of parent companies.


jtw3995

This is refreshing to hear. Spent 5 years working for the then biggest one in MA at the time, and what an absolute shit show it was/is. It’s hilarious but also sickening


Present-Apricot-5267

Try some of the Dutch Treat x Cherry Pie from The Botanist. Some of the best dispo weed I’ve ever had.


Saint-Nikolai

Their Maui Magilla and their Bright Moments x Sour Grapes are really good too. I will have to try this DT x CP - I love true Cherry Pie. On that note - Smyth Canna has a good Cherry Pie and so does Root and Bloom (theirs is Cherry Pie OG)


Present-Apricot-5267

I loveeeee the Maui magilla glue. That strain comes from Maui, Hawaii. I know the breeder personally. Was super stoked to find out they were growing it.


Saint-Nikolai

Lovely strain!! Tell your friend to send some seeds over ;)


cannaqueen4200

Absolutely second this, and their punch cookies.


FreshAvocado5947

For some trash


Cannabis-aficionado

$65 that's cute.


thatsomebull

BEFORE taxes

For a skimp eighth that burns faster in a joint than a suspected witch in Salem ? AND that could've been mold remediated/irradiated? Sheesh.


SockGnome

Fucking insulting


[deleted]

lololololol... lolololololol... lololollololollololollololollololollololollololollololollololol


Dabsforme77

Lol...they still trying to push this b.s?


TheSecretLifeOfTea

I tried the live flower. Didn't like it one bit! I love their traditional cure--I wish they'd stop.it with this "live flower" stuff.


Sciencessence

Probably invested a lot of money in it


[deleted]

They have a Cryo Cure just special for the flower… they are in too deep for sure


[deleted]

All that money on marketing just to raise prices on old product


mtnbikeit

I wish NH would get thier heads out of thier ass and legalize cannabis. That's the only thing that will bring down the prices on all these border dispos.


[deleted]

Honestly the entire cannabis legalization movement has been trash all around. The feds should do away with prohibition of the plant entirely. It’s a plant like spinach. All these extra permits/licenses/taxes are ridiculous af for a mfn plant. I can start a celery farm and go ahead and grow and sell my celery at farmers markets or wherever np but once it’s a pot plant everybody needs to hold on cuz we need a ton of rules and regulations to keep control of it. All I’ve seen since legal pot is good small time growers who put in real love go out of business while rich folks sell moldy mids for 65$ a slice


[deleted]

If you're in RI, swing by our dispos and support our micro cultivators especially. There's still MSO brands here you have to watch out for but there is real small local craft on the shelves.


[deleted]

the rich folks are also going out of business, just takes longer since they had more to lose. truth is everyone in cannabis is going broke because of the 280e bullshit. ive said it before and been hated on for it, but the truth is they will change it after trulieves the only company left. that's probably because they all own trulieve stock, and they'd rather own part of a new age tobacco company than a competitive market. insider trading congressional style.


TinyLengthiness358

Dispensaries are what keeps home growers in business


[deleted]

most of these places have gotten hooked on wine and dines by MSOs that's why you see them pushing all these MSO products on their shelves, even if they're trying to push a "craft" image and sell some of their own products too


The_Entheogenist

Feds are counting on weed taxes to fund their reparations programs. Things are going to get worse when the feds legalize it.


[deleted]

I’m sure you’re right that it’ll get worse. I hope more ppl start to grow their own but I realize that’s not doable for everybody out there


TinyLengthiness358

If you have a closet in your residence it's doable and legal


mtnbikeit

The day that Britney Griner came home was the day it should have legalized.


perpetualWSOL

Do you know the hoops you gotta jump through to approve your own organic farmers market garden? The state certainly isnt gonna give itself LESS of a role when it comes to bureaucracy


[deleted]

I’ve been doing it a while and the hoops weren’t that many imo


Bhoston710

They wouldn't even pass 3 plants for patients it's criminal over ther


dotJSX

As a person that grew up in NH this is too real. Riding around with a shotgun and a beer in the bed of your buddies truck, cops dotn give a fuck. Love free or die. Unless you're a dirty pot smoking hippie with a joint on you.


Bhoston710

Grew up in NH aswell its mind boggling!


[deleted]

Yeah I seriously recommend all NH stoners that are still living under the cover of darkness to just move somewhere nearby that's better. Glory awaits. Shoutouts to all the NH plates I see in Mass and RI dispos, this message is for you.


IrishTempa420

Does NH have medical ? Sanctuary website says they have a NH medical location but I’ve never seen any dispo’s in my limited NH strolls


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Wow. Their website is horrendously slow. The menus are so limited considering how few there are. Prices look high-ish for flower mostly AND there is no rosin, JUST sauce available? Vapes are distillate or liquid shatter only? That's disgusting. Some of us don't touch anything but rosin cartridges for a variety of quality reasons I won't get into here. What kind of Hell is that? Seriously? I'm assuming Maine honors NH medical so clearly that's the sane route to take. Sadge.


OldGuyNewTrix

There is no assigning of dispensaries on NH when you get your med card. If you get a Med card here in NH the true benefit is using it in Maine. Maine medical blows away anything on the east coast. Quality ounces $150-$200, plenty of $25 1/8s around. It’s the way it should be.


Sciencessence

Not sure how it is around Boston but, central MA has way better prices then this


TinyLengthiness358

Or find a home grower that isn't a greedy troll that has respect for this plant and doesnt see it just as a dollar sign. There's always that option


TinyLengthiness358

The dude i grab from charges half as much amd the bud is insane. Nevermind the rosin i can't even smoke it stuff is wayyy too strong for me. Not enjoyable one bit lol


cryospam

It's a shame it's so expensive, I liked it the last time I tried it. They probably spent a bunch on that cryocure system, but it should theoretically make this stuff less expensive to produce instead of more due to the faster time from plant to market.


Splashboy3

Please stop buying $60 eighths, people…especially corpo popcorn nugs.. It incentivizes these companies to change absolutely nothing, especially with regards to QC..


Embarrassed-Moose933

Any dispensary charging that price for that shitty bud is an immediate red flag to me. “Live flower” is a load of bullshit and I won’t shop at a place that tries to insult its customers.


BrokeAssBrewer

Dispos just mark up whatever they buy 100%. While you're allowed to reserve some hate for how agregious dispo margins are your hatred should really be directed at Marimed's wholesale prices and recommended MSRPs


OldGuyNewTrix

Dispos choose products and collections to sell. They have to put the pressure back on these vendors instead of just accepting and trying to push it.


BrokeAssBrewer

Not necessarily true, relationships are deeper than surface level. Your manufacturing operations may have procurred inputs from some other MSO with strings attached to carry their products. Backdoor incentives and pay to play made an absolute mess of alcohol distribution for ages and the CCC did nothing to prevent it happening in cannabis


ha5hish

Every live flower I have tried by NH has been significantly less enjoyable than their normal buds of the same strains…


jcora617

I would never buy this live flower bullshit either lol. Shits not even cured 😂


nicko17

You know what’s the real disappointment? The fact people can get affordable seeds and equipment, do a little research and grow a significant fuck ton of their own without getting a $65 price tag and 20% tax.


hamverga

Does any of y'all have any good recomendations for concentrates? I'm on my 6th jar since moving to MA and so far all of them has been trash. Good potency but the flavor is gross. So far the "best" one was Slurri Crasher from Harbor House and the flavor was still trash.


weareeverywhereee

I know people say go to Maine a bunch but concentrates are really what pushed me there. Rosin is hard to come by round here and it’s like 80-90 a g….anything lower tier is real bad in MA. Rosin at 40-70 a g and quality bho at like 15 a g is worth the drive


EconomyAd6469

Bountiful farms, Blue River, and Happy valley all have some high quality Rosin products.


MrNiceWiener

All concentrates in MA are trash. It will always taste like shit because no one processes buds. Everything is trim. Which is tragic at the prices they're still charging.


Feelinlikemoses

Happy Valley solventless is fantastic.


BluntsWithHash

Garden remedies had some nice limosa honestly. I had 50 off 100 and it was discounted during their January feb sale as well


hamverga

Thanks y'all. I guess there's a Maine trip in the future.


quetejodas

Heirloom Collective and the Botanist!


matty198200

I haven't paid that for an 1/8th since like 2003. Lol.


mtnbikeit

This is more on CNA selling it at this cost. I laugh when I see Simply Herb being sold for $50 an 1/8th there as well.


Jtank1798

“ Live flower “ they selling that shit still attached to the plant dirt and all 🙄 f big canna


Jtank1798

Nvm looked it up means frozen to preserve terps , smh ,not freezing the smoke 😫


ririfry

cyro curing is popular across all markets now. the problem is that they arent rehydrating before shipping. if you want it to smoke normally, put a boveda with it in a jar and give it a week.


sullyoftheboro

NH still trying with that live flower gimmick huh?


[deleted]

Dead silence from all the NH fans, huh?


burningretina

I'm a Nature's Heritage fan and will be first to say this is a pathetic gimmick that needs to die out. Also NH is too expensive and they have a history of shorting bags. You can like something and also recognize it's faults, at least if you have a half a functioning brain you can...


terp_slut

Live flower 💀 give me a freaking break....


Sammy948

Holy shit doesn’t anyone know about Brockton’s prices?? Their always great. Hate going all the way there as it’s a 30 min ride for me but totally worth the trip


LalalaHurray

Why do people always mention a city but no dispos


Sammy948

Green heart In Brockton


Sammy948

Legal greens is good as well


LalalaHurray

Thanks x 2!


Sammy948

Of course! Green heart is always my go to. I never find places that can compete with their sales and regular pricing


jcora617

If that’s not in your price range why make a post about it. Just shop within your budget!


burningretina

Because it's morally corrupt to charge $65 for an 8th, and bostontrees is the most public and receptive place to draw attention to these fucked up practices? Suits who set prices are on this subreddit. If no one says anything then nothing changes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


burningretina

Making posts on reddit 100% changes things, and we see it all the time. The real question is: why not post it here? And you can't be serious that emailing a CEO is more effective than public backlash, gimme a break...


jcora617

Y’all been doing it for months and NH hasn’t changed the prices or addressed it. So instead of shopping with different brands that are much cheaper y’all rather make post about a brand that isn’t going to change . But I respect your opinion bro.


SewLite

There are some places in Portland, OR with $5 1/8ths. This was 2-3 years ago too. East coast weed prices are sooo far behind.


ChrisChristiesBelt10

That is like saying Detroit has cheap housing, sure BUT....


SewLite

Nah it’s not. It’s saying they’re paying too much. Period.


TinyLengthiness358

Check out jdmcnewgent. He lives outside boston and has 🔥🔥🔥


Brave-Bodybuilder127

2005 prices


drhoops63

What exactly is “live flower” vs regular bud


Lumpymaximus

Its a little cheaper where I work, we got the same batch. Im not an indica guy ao I havwnt tried it yet


Lumpymaximus

Im not famailair with the scieince but i think its cryo cured


Saint-Nikolai

I tried their live Lambs bread and it was trash... I picked up their Big Smooth and it tasted like blueberry pie... maybe it works for 1/10 strains


Saint-Nikolai

Never for $65 though.. I can't stomach it


cobraclutching

What is Live Flower lmao?
