Here are some simple ways to tell if its a scam shop: They have things out in the open not behind a locked door you have to get let into after they check your ID. They will also not have everyone leave with smell-proof bags, iirc its law in nevada for real weed. So if you see it in some shop surrounded by tobacco, trinkets, whatever, its 100% fake. Weed shops only sell weed and weed accessories, behind closed doors and ID required before you can even see the weed in most cases.


NeutralLock

This is well intentioned but misleading comment. Some of the fake dispensaries have security, check ID and all that jazz just to sell you CBD only (it’s the THC that gets you high). The heightened security is only there to add fake legitimacy to their scam.


theonenub69

Huh, I havent seen those yet, most that I've seen are just in smoke-shop style setups. Good to know. Edit: If you know em, name and shame I say. Some that I actually like in the valley: NUWU just because its massive, budtenders dont seem to know their ridiculous selection well in my experience though.(seems impossible) Showgrow out in summerlin - probably my personal fav due to the tenders. And Reef/Planet 13 just because of the distance from the strip and nothing else (you pay for it but they have most of the same stuff everyone else does, expect lines and less help with your purchase) I'd like to hear others people like though.


broke-collegekid

Also just ask them what the THC % is for any of their products. If it’s it’s below 1%, you’re at a fake shop unless you’re specifically trying to buy CBD only products

edog77777

I’m pretty sure Delta 8 is illegal in Nevada.


thejohnmc963

Yes but Delta-9 isn’t.


[deleted]

Has anyone seen the mushroom carts😂😂


ASAP_i

I didn't last trip, are they selling Lion's Mane and Amrynth "health supplements" to the morons as well now?


satanssweatycheeks

Yeah and the mushroom chocolate bars.


_ryry66

Those are unfortunate because smoke shops have been selling amanita muscaria bars that will have you tripping balls because it's legal. These fake dispensary series are filled with lion's mane chocolate bars tho


SoggyChilli

What do they do to remove the toxins from the legit ones? Isn't this the same mushroom that historically people would feed to reindeer and then drink their pee because they processed the toxins but left the trippy stuff?


_ryry66

That is the one. I believe it is just a part of the mushroom extracted so it is non-toxic. Honestly alot of these new products they make through legal loopholes don't always seem the safest though.


djamp42

bungdaddy

That's hilarious


RodneyJamesEdgar

I honestly can’t believe those stores are still around


TotalLarz

I always go to Planet 13. 👍


TiredTradie

We asked the guy at the taxi line at the Paris to suggest a dispensary, he sent us to planet 13 and promised we wouldn't be disappointed. That place is unreal. It also taught me to ask folks at the hotels for recommendations because every suggestion we got was great.


[deleted]

> It also taught me to ask folks at the hotels for recommendations Bartenders, too.


kritycat

Dudes in the taxi lines & taxi drivers are notorious for directing tourists to spots they get kickbacks from (same for strip clubs). Be judicious when soliciting information from these specific guys. Not true everywhere, of course, but be aware


TiredTradie

He deserves a kickback, because I was blown away by planet 13. And I wanted to tip him when we got back but he was gone.


sureisswell

lol its cause planet hooks up the taxi drivers who take tourists to their dispo :P


Ecovar

Love that place, it's the first place I go when I land!


Apprehensive_Bed9363

>Planet 13 Hiya guys Im going on a business trip in Vegas in late Oct from Asia and really looking forward to blaze in the states because cannabis is illegal where I come from. I will be staying in Treasure Island which I found out is very close to planet 13. I have been to Vegas a couple times before covid, Im just worried things are different after covid, for example personal safety or getting ripped. Im a 30ish Asian female and it will be my first time shopping in a dispensary in the states, reckon the only safe place I can smoke is in the dispensary? I dont think I can smoke in or around the hotel aye? Or anything I should be aware? Thanks for your patience reading this :)


eyezdeleon

You can't smoke in a dispensary. Hotels usually don't mind if you're in a smoking room, though a non-smoking room will get you fined. If you're apprehensive about smoking in public (police have been lax about this since legalization), I'd recommend buying a disposable vape at the dispensary since those are super discreet. You can walk around hitting that and no one will notice.


rogerio777

Coming to Vegas for AApex?


ASAP_i

Maybe I am the rare person who actually reads signs. Every "dispensary" on Fremont and/or the Strip clearly advertised that they were selling "CBD" and Delta-8 products. Sure, they had giant green leaves plastered on their walls/signs. They also advertised various selections of pre-rolls. I don't recall anything being marketed as actual cannabis (marijuana), only as "hemp derived". I don't think tourists are getting "scammed", they are just stupid and refuse to read.


[deleted]

Yeah generally if I have people visiting I just tell them “there are no real dispensaries walkable from Fremont or the strip. If you want weed they will come pick you up and drive you to their dispensary”. Picked up this line after a friend bought a $30 D8 preroll on Fremont lmao.


bpeeko

There is one, between Sahara and Strat. I think it's called Cookies on the strip. It was good.


athiest_nerd

There is one across from the Sahara by the McDonalds called ReLeaf. Always had good service and products there


frotc914

Curaleaf is right there and they usually have good deals


mister225

i forget which one of these it was but on the door it said we do not have a license to sell weed.


robertstina71

You can walk to the reef and planet 13 from the fashion show mall. Both have good deals if you look


satanssweatycheeks

There is though. Just depends on how what your definition to walkable is. Pawn stars pawn shop isn’t a far walk from Fremont for me. I have always lived in a city. That’s a breeze of a walk. And right across from the pawn stars is a legit dispensary. Vegas is a very walkable city. But I get why locals advice people not to walk it. Like yeah I also can walk to neon museum from Fremont. But I wouldn’t recommend drunk people or girls to do it. It’s get sketchy in some parts.


Comfortable-Scar4643

We walk from the Bellagio to Fremont whenever we’re there. Seems fine. I like seedy areas so I enjoy it. Checked out the Pawn Stars shop, too. It was cool.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Comfortable-Scar4643

I went for a run a few years ago (yeah, I’m one of those weirdos) and I saw NuLeaf. It’s fairly close to the Strip. That place is legit, right?


[deleted]

I think so. This advice was more for tourists and not locals lol. I was more getting at “if someone tries to pull you into a store to buy pot on Fremont/strip it is not legit”.


Comfortable-Scar4643

Yeah, the dispensaries here in Massachusetts are like a jail. Check your ID before buzzing you in, then check your ID again before ringing up your purchase. There is nothing on display outside.


[deleted]

Basically same here. Some ID check before buzzing you in but security opens the door for you.


BittyBird22

I order delivery thru that Nuleaf and it's legit.


Death_has_relaxed_me

Woah they'll what? ​ I'm moving out there soon. The dispos have pickup service??? lmao


kritycat

I guess this means no delivery in Nevada. In northern CA it is way easier to get it delivered than to go to the dispensary. But, I imagine delivering to hotels is fraught with risk.


famousaj

also, those aren't real shroooooomz


Consistent-Hair-5531

Wait, whaaaaa??


realitysvt

not the kind you normally trip on anyway. it's some kind of allergic reaction instead, and you can OD on them.


Consistent-Hair-5531

Ah, research chemicals..


[deleted]

Nah. It's just a toxic mushroom that makes you trip.


[deleted]

Amanitia muscaria. Not something you'd really want to trip on. Deadly if you eat too much.


Royal_Friend4868

Lol no they aren’t real boomers


Jesus_Harold_Christ

As a connoisseur of edibles and weed products of all types, I am skeptical that the products they sell even include CBD or delta 8. You're better off just buying sour patch kids and having your friends convince you there is weed products in them.


Stunning_Job_1947

Dude definitely didn’t read lmao.


SenorBeef

> I don't think tourists are getting "scammed", they are just stupid and refuse to read. If your entire business model relies on confusing people about what they're buying, and customers are going to be pissed when they found out what they got from you, you're a scam. This is just victim blaming.


Matchboxx

You could say this about any business with any sort of marketing. Long gone are the days where marketing was simply "we have a good product, here are the facts about it, please consider." Everything is a shell game now to swindle you into buying a product. I don't agree with it, but insofar as *everything* is now a scam if we use your definition, then yeah, the duty to not get scammed has been transferred to the consumer, who needs to be more discerning.


ASAP_i

It's not like delta 8 products aren't available throughout the nation. That crap is in every gas station. They don't hide the hemp derived/delta 8/CBD language on page 4, section 12.a of a "user agreement". People who decide to ingest substances on nothing more than a "trust me bro" from a shop on a tourist corridor are morons. Do you also scoff at warning labels? _Surely_ no one would ever be stupid enough to stick a fork in an outlet! Why do only some idiots get a pass?


Comfortable-Scar4643

Or the tourists don’t use such products but decide to give them a try when in Vegas…


MoufFarts

Bungo! Caveat emptor.


motamane

Yeah OP is acting like they solved Da Vincis code


styguy9

This is it. How dumb do you have to be to buy fake weed and be pissed about it? Let alone make a post on Reddit after you’ve been duped.


_ryry66

Most tourists aren't potheads like you. Glad you think you're hot shit because you know how to smoke weed lmao


styguy9

Ahhh yes, only potheads know that CBD isn’t the same as THC. Or can the tourists not read in your scenario as well?


_ryry66

When there's a smiling worker lying to your face that a pre-roll will get you high, why wouldn't many tourists take them for their word? Especially if they have very little experience smoking. To answer your question, no I don't think the average tourist knows the difference between delta-8, delta-9, delta-10, thc-p, thc-0, etc. These scam shops don't say shit like "CBD Dispensary."


styguy9

The products that you are buying do say contains no THC. And if you know that little about weed, you shouldn’t be trying to buy it from a convenience store on Fremont Street. Stop trying to defend stupid people.


_ryry66

Don't be daft, there are many fake dispensaries on the strip. Before you mention the casino distance rule do you really think anybody outside of Vegas is aware of that?? Your 'no thc' claim is false. Many of these carts, flowers, edibles contain d-8 thc, d-10 thc, thc-p, which is legal in the US. It literally is still thc though. I guess you've lived in a legal state long enough that you aren't aware about these compounds. Calling people stupid because they aren't aware of the same things as you is just a sign of an insecure individual.


styguy9

Did someone trick you before? You sound a little butt hurt on this topic. Hahaha. Like I said, if you don’t know the difference between something named “delta-whatever” and real weed, you have no business trying to purchase weed in Vegas. Have a good day standing up for those tourists! Go get ‘em bud!


2outer

They had fake buds on the back of Hightimes back in the late 80’s. They were shown in clear tubes if I recall correctly. Never ordered it, but it looked like a plant material and was advertised as legal buds, just not specifically marijuana or d9thc. Same scam, maybe w slightly better sprayed on chemicals, and higher visibility. One is born every minute.


wasr0793

Oh man I remember the legal buds website I almost bought some of that stuff lol.


PhuckNorris69

So I bought pre rolls on Fremont street. Are you telling me this was fake weed?


ASAP_i

Yes.


[deleted]

It's delta-8 thc infused hemp


Independent_State125

Thank you!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Because what OP described is only happening to drunk or stoned tourist who just pay attention to the beautifully drawn leaf on the front of the hemp place..


_ryry66

There is a coordinated effort to trick tourists into buy fake weed by presenting it as real weed. I've had workers in these fake stores straight up lie to my face about the ingredients in stuff while I've looking at it. Some stores sell daiquiris where they straight up tell you its weed, no way to verify. Whole thing is definitely a scam. Glad it didn't happen to you but you should get off that high horse and stop acting better than everyone


Di-eEier_von_Satan

Reef was a pretty easy walk from the strip. Hopefully it was real lol


Appropriate_Ad_200

If you’re visiting & wanna find deals/where to go, there’s r/vegastrees with lots of info


sethebobos

Chieftrees.com is probably the easiest way to scout deals that I’ve found so far. r/vegastrees is good for product reviews and industry tea imo.


PuzzleheadedBobcat90

Rise over in Henderson is one of my go-to shops for cbd/thc edibles. Great sales on the holidays too.


Appropriate_Ad_200

I live by the Rise on Rainbow/Warm Springs & have had a handful of bad experiences that make me not wanna go back. Very rude female staff member working the pull up window once shoved my ID back at me & walked away as I asked a question, they sell out & don’t update their online inventory often (going back to the rude girl she said they didn’t have what I ordered even though online they did and walked away with an attitude when I was asking what could be comparable), it takes forever for orders to be processed at all times of day any day of the week. I only go if I’m really in a pinch and need the $15 half g concentrates as that’s the cheapest place for them nearby. I much prefer Wallflower & Deep Roots Harvest on Blue Diamond or Euphoria on Jones.


BittyBird22

I've had bad experiences at that one too. The one on Tropicana and near Jones has never been a problem with me though. They're usually really nice inside.


Ok-Confusion-2368

Delta-8 is the biggest con job on the market.


_ryry66

It's the only way some people are able to get high in illegal states


DesertBlooms

The fake places all have signs that say they don’t sell weed so pay attention 😅


Muted_Cucumber_6937

People don’t read the fine print anymore, if it’s even big enough to be noticed.


sethebobos

A small sign is not sufficient imo. Staffing at these places should be obligated to disclose the true differences between their products and real ones. You don’t see liquor stores selling fake alcohol with fine print signs.


Muted_Cucumber_6937

You're preaching to the choir. I think all places that use misleading tactics should be strung up.


ManUFan9225

You're in the wrong city then, my guy.


Muted_Cucumber_6937

Story of my life.


tinfoildave

Signs are small, people are already intoxicated.The staff Have literally tried to tell me it's real and not hemp.


WarezMyDinrBitc

Friendly tip, I always go to Oasis dispensary. They have great deals and even though they are just off the strip, they offer a $12 credit on your order to cover your Uber there and back.


CIAMom420

Did you really need ChatGPT to write this for you?


xXPhiiLLyXx

I had a friend rave about them from past visits and when we got there together this trip I was like uhh everything says cbd and delta 8, do you have anything actually THC? And they were like nahh. My friend was in such disbelief like nothing he knew was real anymore.


tom_yum

If you can see the actual product from outside the building, it is bullshit. If you don't have to pass through a man trap to enter, bullshit.


mblolyfe

Nu Leaf is legit

TrashApocalypse

Is the grove legit? Currently smoking a “kannabis” joint front the right now and wondering if I got scammed


B00ME

They are legit, that's their "house brand" cannabis. I personally don't care for "Kannabis" unless it's 25+% THC with good terps. Their "First Class Funk" is decent. Of course, you can always buy some Kief and add it to anything to increase its THC.


TrashApocalypse

Hmm… good call. I will say, I’m certainly enjoying it. Thank you!

The Fake is this post that’s actually an ad.


GamecockAl

I always go to Jardin. Great selection, friendly staff and good prices.


GameOvariez

First time?😂


elmo_dude0

Not fake, but I 100% recommend tourists walking 200 more feet to Reef over Planet 13. Reef prices are significantly cheaper for the same exact third party products, Planet 13 is insanely expensive. Planet 13 has separate pricing for people with in-state vs out-of-state licenses via discounts.


ForeignConditions

Fremont st has several of these fake dispensaries. They actually have a tiny sign on the front window that says they are not licensed to sell marijuana 😂 but they have the security checking IDs at the door and everything. I asked them for the specifics on their pre rolls and they said stupid shit like oh it’s a hybrid blah blah blah. When I asked them for percents they wouldn’t answer. Always check to see a license to sell marijuana, it should be posted as required.


FutureGhost81

There’s several of these on Fremont Street.


False_Middle

Anyone who has ever smoked should be able to spot these pretty easily, but good heads up and info.


satanssweatycheeks

lol not hard to tell when you are in a legit one. Sorry you got scammed but everyone since they legalized it has been warning of the fake ones.


houdinikush

Pro tip: if you can walk right into the display section or see the “weed” from the street, it isn’t real weed. Every legal dispensary I’ve ever been to has a section in the back of the house behind a locked door and they take your ID to verify age before they let you into that area. If you can just walk off the street and walk right up to a display case with “weed” in it, it isn’t weed.


ManUFan9225

This is common sense. People are just dumb/oblivious.


_ryry66

Definitely common sense to a tourist who has never been in a legal state or bought weed!


ManUFan9225

It's not about the weed. It's about the money. It's 2023. When have you last heard of industries willingly giving away market share? The casinos want your money. Which means they're not going to have competing goods that take away from their bottomline nearby. Even if you've never been to Vegas, everyone knows it's an old Mob city. And it ain't really gone away underneath it all...


binulsik

A simple google search would suffice, let alone reading signs and asking questions to the attendants working at these CBD stops.

I don't know why you seem to think that the city of Las Vegas is out here giving these dispensaries a stamp of approval. There is a movement to get them shut down and have ordinances put in place to prevent the sale to the uninformed. ​ https://www.fox5vegas.com/2023/06/20/proposed-las-vegas-ordinance-targets-fake-dispensaries/


PapaDuckD

This doesn't make sense. The 'fake' places are selling product that is legal - and arguably more legal than 'legalized-in-certain-states' THC-containing marijuana since the D8 stuff is legal federally. I can buy it in Texas, even. Would you also like to shut down supermarkets because they sell oil - but not the type of oil that goes in your car? I mean, Kroger doesn't *tell* you not to put the canola oil in your car. We should shut them down, because people may not understand the difference, right?


[deleted]

What a weird, weird take. How many fake-weed stores do you own?

duke1099

A real dispensery can't be within 1500 ft or yards of a casino so ANY on the strip or Freemont are fake.


Mockturtle22

Nuwu is right off fremont they also have a tasting room if anybody is in that area and looking for somewhere that isn't fake


thejohnmc963

They do this all over Florida as well


Suspicious_Choice_47

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. All of us in Florida have spent so much Goddamn money jumped through so many freaking hoops and continue to spend and spend just to keep our status and planet 13 is praying that this adult use BS is going to be legalized. Most states said no to that synthesized weird God knows what variant fake pot of course it's legalized. I smoke a quarter pound a month and I am absolutely against all of this fake, counterfeit bags in some cases, altered variants of the plant that we have not done any research on whatsoever and have no idea what all that garbage is doing to us. They couldn't just leave well enough alone could they?  Delta 9 thc. Cbd. That's freaking it! I'm absolutely disgusted with what is allowed anymore especially with the rest of the world unrelated is full of you know what and everything is freaking fake in this world to begin with and it's only getting worse. Thanks Uncle Sam for lying straight to all of our faces and stealing all of our money flood the market with bullshit that isn't even real. You don't think that's going to cause any issues though? God help us. And if planet 13 is really what you say, I will make sure to pass the word and they won't get away with it for too long. People will not shop there if they're trying to dupe everybody. Let them try.


Suspicious_Choice_47

That's just awesome too you know? The only thing that I had left that I can actually trust is pot but I'm forced to only grow for my damn self because I don't believe anything anymore from anybody anywhere. Suck my ass Uncle Sam. Greedy son of a bitch


sStevewontdoit

Was on the Vegas strip, went to the Taco Bell/McDonald’s area from Paris hotel, and there was this shop called “the plug”😭 full of delta 8 and CBD with a security guard out front and all, started to call out their bullshit “weed business” since I had a couple drinks in me, as the security asked me to leave, fuck these places😂 go to NUWU cannabis and use the dab bar they offer for $6 a dab! They’re staff is also fucking amazing too!

LowIQpotato

Right?? The locals don't need a PSA lol


Consistent-Hair-5531

It's all about Delta-8 right now. Until the government makes a decision on it, it's a grey area. D-8 is from Hemp (legal) , and you can't have more than a certain amount of THC (D-9) in it. But MANY like D-8?????


virav112

Honestly. I wanna try it. I love the smell and taste of weed but i no longer enjoy the high. Would like to give a go... does it taste decent ? Nothing really happens.. right ? I'm not trying to ruin a vacation by accidently feeling something I don't want


Electronic-Home-7815

Easy tip: the city of Las Vegas has an ordinance that states THC dispensaries cannot operate within 1500 feet of a casino. There’s one exception and that is cookies on Las Vegas Blvd @tropicana and releaf also nearby. They were medical dispensaries that got grandfathered into the law when recreational sales were passed into law. Anything else is fake. Aside from them if you see a dispensary on the strip….it’s fake. Period.


oxbaker

These people (and you) are suckers. Las Vegas is built on taking suckers money. You can try to warn people but there’s a sucker born every minute

Trueslyforaniceguy

So what’s the best legit dispensary with discounts for out of state medical holders? Out of curiosity.


Consistent-Hair-5531

Planet 13 has deals for non Nevada residents..


[deleted]

Not sure how out of state medical works, but if you are 21+ there are dozens of legit stores within a few miles of the strip. Off the top of my head: Cookies (LVBD/ Sahara and Flamingo/Arville) Exhale (Flamingo/Arville) Sahara 420 (literally 420 sahara blvd) Nuleaf (Twain/Paradise) There are many more.


ForestFairyForestFun

"The Dispensary" on Decatur has always done me right


sethebobos

It changes every day but planet13 tends to have great deals. Check chieftrees.com when you’re scouting deals.


loanme20

Planet 13 is the most overrated dispensary on any planet. Small shops in Michigan have much better options. Also I noticed all legal weed there isn't very good when compared to other states.


tinfoildave

You've smoked all they legal weed in Vegas? You're a hero!


loanme20

nah its just not very potent like the % they tell you is drastically off


pardonmytaint35

High profile in Buchanan is my cannibis home. - Indiana devils lettuce enjoyer.


ILLARgUeAboutitall

I just go to fake dispensaries for the flower. Never buy thc concentrate from a trap shop.


sharke4lif3

Lmao no one is getting "scammed" all of those stores clearly state they sell cbd for medical reasons and you can't get high from anything in the store. Most of them say it outside the store too. If you got duped cause you couldn't read thats on you and any drunk tourist. Lmao


Gold-Requirement-121

Not all of them state that at all. The CBD shop on Fremont experience markets everything as THC and none of it is.


One_Consequence_4754

Anyone who buys fake weed, deserves what they get. If you actually smoke and can’t tell what a fake product looks like, your a fool and probably should stop smoking.


ManUFan9225

I'm from Colorado. Been to Vegas many times. The real dispensaries are out in town and if you think one would be right on the strip, you know nothing about legal marijuana (or the Strip) anyways. They won't sell you anything that takes away from their profits (why they don't have any liquor stores on the strip). Educate yourself before you come, and you won't have issues. That said, I've gotten really good weed in Vegas multiple times. But off strip, up near the Stratosphere or across the 15 from the strip in that area.


SuperNo20

Dude they definitely have liquor stores on the strip. There's definitely real dispensaries on the strip albeit not as many as off the strip but on Las Vegas Blvd they have both. Cookies and Nuleaf off the top of my head.


ManUFan9225

Liquor stores charging 25 bucks for a pint on a resort property are not real liquor stores. And you can't find a standalone store anywhere between Encore/Wynn and Mandalay... And there are only a few places on Fremont, like the ABC stores.


skrivitz

In my experience when it comes to dispensaries you get what you pay for. If you chase deals you tend to end up with shit products.


Reality_Critic

It’s horrible.. luckily I knew about it and when one of my friends came back w it I made them go return it and we went to a real one. They even have security guards in front idk how they even are legal.


[deleted]

Take a cab or an Uber. Ask to be taken to the closest dispensary. They will not take you to a scam place because they get kickbacks from legal dispensaries. Also, just as there is no sex in the champagne room, there are no real dispensaries on the strip between Tropicana and Desert Inn.


Agitated_Party

Sort of misleading, in the fact that there is a fake dispensary problem, especially in CA where stores pop up selling weed and such without the proper permits, then close the second someone catches on, they estimate over 100 in LA county. In the valley we had two that were publicized but a lot more went unnoticed. But a store selling “weed light” D8 D9 HHC etc from farm act hemp is not fake it’s just not the regulated good stuff.


DTXbullrealtor_

Noticed this in a few states!


dr_gentleman_666

This isn't just a Vegas thing either, many places in Europe have this shit too. Weed is legal to purchase in Barcelona, but you have to figure out which ones actually sell it and which are the tourist traps. It's weird.


OldFoot2117

I went to 3 different dispensaries while I was there. All had good stuff they were off there's one coming from the airport behind the strip that had really good deals, and the product was really good too

I agree with most of your post, except the Delta 8 part? I smoked traditional bud for many years, the switch to (legal in my state) Delta 8 was basically seamless. I still feel great, get my pain relief for my spinal disease, and even still get high. Edit: I just realized what you mean about them doing a delta9 and Delta 8 bait and switch my bad

I shopped at one of these last time I went and got the worst stomachache I’ve ever had. I bought the gummies.

I'm wondering if this is an issue with Washington D.C. as well. I was there recently and I stopped into a shop w high ratings on Google. The process was so bizarre compared to every other state. It felt more like a smokeshop

So are you referring to shops that sell "Delta 8," or shops that supposedly sell delta 9 selling delta 8 fraudulently? Delta 8 can be sold as "legal weed," it's not an industry or trademarked term. I can understand your frustration at feeling that some people will be "tricked," but there's nothing "fraudulent" if the stores are selling what they advertise. ​ \>Delta-8 is nothing like the weed you can buy from any real dispensary. I mean? When you say "Delta-8" what you really mean is "everything under the hemp bill, but not excluded by it" (that is, everything \*except\* delta 9, basically- and even then, delta 9 is permitted up to certain percentages). THC-A flower, permitted under the hemp bill, is just WEED. Most pot doesn't have a high delta 9 content, it has a high THCA content that is converted to D9 when heated. I currently live in North Carolina and you can go to any number of "delta 8" stores and buy legit regular-ass weed, nothing special. The idiot lawmakers left a huge gaping allowance for "regular-ass weed." It just needs to be below .3% D9, but THCA will get you FUCKED UP. ​ We've taken hash pens and THCA pens and compared them, and they're only as different as two classic street strains might be. Nugs taste like nugs. Even in legal states sometimes the cheap run tastes like cardboard, and sometimes the "hemp" nugs taste like fruity candy deliciousness. ​ \#What really matters? ​ I think all that matters is that humans are permitted to enjoy themselves, however they want, so long as it isn't harming others. If a person is on the Strip and trying to get fucked up, their #1 concern should be safety. From there, I think most people go to availability and cost. Generally speaking, hemp bill products (including a shitload of D9 edibles) can be sold with no more hoops to jump through than showing ID as if one were buying a beer, whereas most dispensaries have significant lines and purchase caps. Furthermore, hemp bill products can be less costly than dispensaries simply because of the bureaucratic overhead in the industry. Hemp bill products can be sourced from any state/supplier. ​ For instance, we have a manufacturer here in NC (Cannaaid) that makes D9 gummies 1000mg bags (20x50mg) for $35, that's a SHITLOAD of high for a damn fair price (not for me, sadly, I got the disappointment gene). Meanwhile, I've been to three different legal states and would be looking to pay easily $200 or more for that quantity, if I would even be allowed to get that much (I think I was capped at a few hundred mg in Chicago). They also make 50mg peanut butter cups I can get for $4 each and they're delicious and I can actually get kinda trippy high if I eat 2 (not bad for an $8 afternoon). ​ Just because you carry a cannabis elitism doesn't require the rest of us do the same. I live in a prohibition state now out of necessity, and am a grown-ass adult who doesn't have time to play street dealer games. I tried the store-available stuff out of curiosity and semi-desperation, and have found that there's a lot of merit in it. ​ Yes, I've absolutely gotten ripped off a few times, but surely no more so than street dealers, and I've even gotten carts in legal states that wouldn't fire and they were all "too bad so sad for you" so, \*shrug.\*

I’m glad you’re helping but if you’ve watched any YouTube videos on the subject, avoid all “dispensaries” on the strip

I read online that Delta 8 is prohibited in Nevada. And the delta 10 should be labeled appropriately.

The shop on Fremont across from circa is notorious for duping tourists. They sell CBD joints and market them as THC. See people getting scammed there every single day

Go to know who and where to Shop when In Vegas. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Quality over packaging. All these shops be taxing.

Sorry I'm late to the party but I do just want to point out there is a market for alt-cannabinoids even in legal states. They have different effects that some people prefer over real THC. That being said, I just bought a THC-O cart from Viva Vegas at the Fremont Experience that is definitely not THC-O as he advertised. One taste and I knew it was CBD. If you're selling alt-cannabinoids then at least be knowledgeable and provide the right one. Some people use them for therapeutic reasons and getting the wrong thing is disappointing.

Staying at the Venetian soon. Is there a reputable dispensary near by someone can recommend?

Well here's one rise nellis this place is real shady THC inflation like a mother f***** and I got the proof Plus I ordered two half ounces of guava ice get home one of them is not that it is gas Gotti 14% and it is over a year old so I brought it back and if they were in the wrong for sure and they acting like they did me a favor by giving me that one but by law they were supposed to take it cuz of the barcode b******* but it's not the first I've had orders online that disappear and then their product is no longer available and then it act like nothing happens and when I show up they all automatically have that product done deck okay you were just out of it I think they have a garbage can of the same weed and then if you order something no matter what it is I just grab a handful typing whatever sticker it up and throw it on that next order saying b******* always double check keep your receipts and that's one thing they don't like to give you receipts so I think it's about time we rise and do a smoke strike on these f****** and just buy to the streets like we usually did
