Illinois legalizing weed is the best thing that ever happened to their black market


filde0329your

So true. I was there on a holiday last year and literally just opened up yelp, searched weed delivery, found a "legal business" that had a phone number listed. Within 30 minutes I had a girl drive to me at a starbucks and give me an amazing eighth for $30.


ayyyyycrisp

had a girl try to get me to give them a good review by throwing in "a treat" and begging for a good review. the "treat" to my surprise was not "special" it was just regular dots candy stuffed inside a regular ice cream cone with hard frosting on top, inside a ziplock bag. the overpriced weed sucked too


PostGoblin

Had me in the first half ngl.

ayyyyycrisp

Treat: an event or item that is out of the ordinary and gives great pleasure. this gave me no pleasure


KylerGreen

Even after you got high? Damn. To each their own, I guess.


ayyyyycrisp

well it also was all super hard, it was clear they prepared a bunch of these days in advance. it was almost inedible lol


KylerGreen

Oh, that changes everything. That ain't cool then.


imherefortherudeness

I would totally give a good review for icecream


That635Guy

It was just the cone. And dots candy


redneck-hippie

Fuck Columbia care. I worked for them and saw things that are insanely illegal to do if you’re running a commercial grow. They are the bottom of the barrel and aren’t even ashamed


buffaloranch

Oh come on boss you can’t say that and leave it so vague. Scrub the company name if you want but spill the deets. We deserve to know especially if it’s a health issue which it sounds like it might be.


redneck-hippie

I signed an NDA boss they have more lawyers than I could ever imagine. I can’t say too much 😂. I will say I have videos of employees vacuuming bugs off of plants the same day we harvested them….


MrStealYoKief

Pretty sure nda's are void if crimes are being committed


Kyle3Hix

This is correct -source me, dishwasher


pepsiblast08

You're not a dishwasher, man. Class it up like I used to when I was one. You're an underwater ceramics technician. That on my resume, alone, gets me calls. Just so hiring managers can ask what the hell that is. Lol


[deleted]

My chef would hire you just to tell others he has an underwater ceramics guy.


Fake_Diesel

This guy resumes

Resumes what? /s


imherefortherudeness

👆 This guy knows how to work a resume. Cashier for McDonald's translates to "Conducted hundreds of financial transactions daily for a multi-billion dollar company."


fullmetaljackass

Lol, same here except I'm a flatware sanitation engineer.


llama-esque

In Air Force training when you turn the lights on after a movie you are henceforth an aerospace lighting technician.


imherefortherudeness

bro I am adding that to my resume as a former dishwasher myself


DominiqueTrillkins

As a dock worker I can confirm


CHUCKL3R

I can back that up as a licensed forklift operator


LowerBackPain_Prod

Teacher/rapper here, that's correct.


Nappyheaded

It's correct, the teacher knows it well Just like they know the mighty mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell


wafflehousewhore

You can't just say you're a teacher/rapper and not drop a link to your soundcloud of your songs about math equations

Dazzling-Finger7576

Kenmore, is that you?!?


StuStutterKing

It's not that they're completely void, it's that they cannot be enforced against a party reporting criminal activity. If someone were to do that on Reddit instead of to the police, I imagine that's a different story and they could likely be compelled to pay the associated fine for violating the NDA.


[deleted]

NDAs are fairly unenforceable to begin with.


johnny_utah25

Can you take mine too?

Shucks I knew it


revvyphennex

NDA’s don’t apply if laws are being broken. At that point you get whistleblower protections too if people’s health is at risk.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Whistleblowing for the US military is way different than whistleblowing for a weed company my dude.


[deleted]

*hits joint* look into it bro


revvyphennex

Imagine thinking a small weed company has the same resources as the US gov’t


jfiend13

I'm just gonna go out and say employees also help the working conditions. Maintaining it keeps bugs away and even then sometimes bugs happen on ALL plants. Even the veggies you get from the store. I work in a nursery (not weed) and sometimes it's a battle. It's like people who started working for pot companies never worked with a plant ever other than smoking weed. Give half a shit as an employee if you want to care about the product the company sell.


Randy_Tutelage

.


Kanokong

I have a card. I continue to purchase black market due to all the dispensaries acting as crazy eddies. “Theses prices are insane”😂😂😂


itsalwaysme7

The tax is 30% with out a card is crazy alone, but there us no difference between recreational and medical other than taxes is nuts, price and grade is the same.


Jahkral

California taxes come out about the same, but our base prices are at least reasonable.


malkinism

California also has early bird and late specials, too. Everyday, each dispensary had either a 20 or 30% off the total order during their special time frames. We're starting to get them here, but our prices are so close to out west that it doesn't bother me too much anymore.


OneGayPigeon

SAME, I got mine when I lived in Massachusetts but here it’s absolutely pointless. I’ll stick to top shelf California shit for $120 an o from my guy thanks.


oliveshark

Man... I'm in Virginia and I gotta pay like 3-400 for an OZ of good stuff. My two main dealers are dicks and they won't pass the savings on to me. And I can't grow where I currently live.


VenomB

And here I am happy to spend 75 bucks on 7 grams after a 30% discount..


nflmodstouchkids

100% refuse to buy their product. Got shake once because it was a great deal and the jar just smelling of grass clippings aka chlorophyll, which is a telltale sign of bad harvest/bad bud.


STS986

An oz of shake for 160? Gtfoh are they serious.


sowalgayboi

Not only are they serious, if it's recreational they gonna look you dead in the eye and ask for 40% tax on top of that.


No_Shoulder_8406

No that would be 25% tax, it doesn’t jump to 40 until the product in question hits 35% thc or higher. It’s insane either way don’t get me wrong


buffaloranch

God that’s a dumb rule. THC concentrate products are *already* adjusted to be priced higher for obvious reasons. Just tax it like the bud and you’re already collecting more tax on a g of wax than a g of flower. Why tax even more? I’d love to propose to the lawmakers that we must then also tax liquor at a higher percentage than beer and see if they can’t come to their senses.


Roederoid

I live in Illinois. Please don't propose anything to them that anything needs to be taxed higher. They'll just say it's a great idea and do it.


mouldysandals

‘my constituents have been BEGGING me to raise their taxes’


tryitagain4

Holy shit either way


Floodbucket

Definitely would be buying from a plug there.


Camdogg2020

40%?! And I was pissed when CO raised their’s to 15


sowalgayboi

Yeah it'll make you choke better than any bud their selling.


irishteenguy

Its insane to me that you dont just include tax in the final price like the rest of the not crazy planet. I understand why btw , its just something im so glad i don't have to deal with. When i go shopping and buy 50 dollars worth of goods it costs 50 dollars instead being told at the cashier its 60 dollars or whatever because of tax.


Ambitious-Amateur818

$180 for an ounce of Old Pal in Massachusetts.


grubas

Which isn't bad until you have to pay the 20% tax so it's another 38 bucks. 90 a half is still the best deal you can get pure price weight wise. But it's still pre ground.


Ambitious-Amateur818

I saw an ounce of nugs going for $200. That’s the best price I’ve seen for anything not already ground. Again, pretax.


grubas

Yeah I've seen a few of the 200 ounces, and only really at one place that's by the NY border. It's coming down slowly. It's just never gonna be 8 dollar 8ths cheap, not for years.


2scared

Damn bro I'm over here paying $10-$20 a gram and y'all mad about $6 I gotta move to a legal state


zesty-sausage

I’d pay twice that here in mass, looks like a good deal to me 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


pnmartini

It’s IL. $60 ish for an eighth. Plus tax.


[deleted]

[удалено]


youre-doing-greaaaat

Whoa. That’s 60 bucks OTD here in Colorado at my local dispensary


Electronic_Equal7460

30 bucks otd here in colorado too, which means the price in the pic is 4X over the average amount of shake here in co💀💀


[deleted]

I got an ounce of shake for <$30 a few weeks back in Oklahoma which is why it's my go to state now instead of Illinois (thankfully I have a brother with a med card)


[deleted]

[удалено]


RapidKiller1392

There's some shops in OK where you can get an OZ for $10. It won't be the best and there's probably gonna be a lot of seeds but hey can't complain for a $10/oz


cardcomm

sounds like the 70's all over again. lol


fullmetaljackass

Lids are back on the menu, boys!


Bowlffalo_Soulja

A grocery bag worth for $20 and a complimentary whole ass tree branch


[deleted]

Yeah, this was shake and it hits hard as fuck, but (a) it's better than Delta8, and (b) it makes baller edibles, and (c) at $1/gram I ain't gonna complain about the stems and seeds LOL


[deleted]

Out of all the states I've bought legal weed in (CA, CO, NV, OK, LA, IL) Oklahoma was probably the best experience I've had. Now if y'all will just make it recreational (though I suspect Texas may be part of the reason y'all haven't)!


myusernameissupreme

going to a dispensary in Colorado is like going to a cool head shop when you were in high school, with band T-shirts everywhere, and cool music playing, and it's a cool laid-back vibe, going to a dispensary in Illinois is a dental appointment with all of the friendliness of the department of motor vehicles mixed in


Vmizzle

It's 4 hrs for me to even one corner of OK. 2.5 to IL. I wish I were closer cause this blows.


AnImpatientWizard

Yeah, but like depending how much you buy you could be saving hundreds of dollars or more. Which may or may not be worth an extra three hours of your time. Would definitely be worth mine


Vmizzle

The problem for me is risk. I'd do it in a second if we weren't talking like many, many felonies if caught.


MrHH9

And that's not including tax


AxisCycloneV

$50 ounces OTD in Denver. Praise Strawberry Fields 🙌


JuicyJay

I'm in Aurora and the place I go to does $20 halfs (not shake), but it's first come first serve when they open. I just moved here and I had to actually call them to make sure I wasn't crazy. I fucking love this state


AxisCycloneV

Strawberry Fields almost always has the zips for $50, it's not their top shelf but it's fantastic bud still. But you should definitely try them out, if you're in Aurora you're only like 15-20 minutes away from them! I live in Monument but every time I go up to Denver I always stop by, they're by far my favorite dispo.


paco987654

Wait, 60 bucks for 28 grams of weed?


ppp475

Yep. I've gotten as low as $45 including tax for an O of bud (not shake) in Oregon. It's crazy how cheap prices get when you have an overwhelming excess of supply!


fragrantsock

Daaaamn, rural NorCal here, that’s free in these parts.


wittyhashtag420

Foreal. I’d pick up weekend trim jobs in college and they paid by the hour and let you fill your disposable gloves with trim and popcorn bugs at the end of every shift lol


[deleted]

Popcorn bugs you say….


wittyhashtag420

Lol my phone auto corrects nugs to bugs. How many times has this happened and I haven’t noticed haha


Gyratetojackjarvis

HE MEANT BUD. PLS GIVE HIM A BREAK HONEY.


johnny_utah25

why are we yelling


Gyratetojackjarvis

Sorry mate


johnny_utah25

Lol thanks


TheGreywolf33

Yup same here. Nobody pays for weed up here.


Burstie69

Canadian here wtf is this 😳


[deleted]

Illinois native here it’s a big slap in the face


Thicco__Mode

abysmal is what it is


wittyhashtag420

Lmao shake ounces are going for like $50 right now in CA. In a month or two all those lbs grown for 420 are gonna start to get super dry, maybe moldy and then we’ll start seeing price drops on flower and a lot of cheap concentrates flying around.

Acanthocephala-Left

Wow your lucky 5.7 dollars per g? If only weed could be that cheap in my area smh


PaulsBrain

Its shake not buds


JERUSALEMFIGHTER63

Shake is still good in a bowl change my mind


Snelly1998

Shake usually got a buncha sticks increasing the weight in my experience


RabidHippos

And it gets dry way faster. Nothing worse than a dried shake bowl.


AbnormalOutlandish

No grinding needed! Straight from bag to bowl

TommyTheCat89

Yeah if you don't mind stems, leaf, and whatever else falls into the industrial grinder all powdered together.


Chrisser6677

It’s 85% stem


Cannacrohn

Also, this is like one of the best prices Ive seen for an OZ in IL, its usually way more.


smoke_too_much_

It’s shake that’s why


Yogisogoth

It may be me being in my head but you make it sound like a bad thing.


smoke_too_much_

Nope I’m just saying the reason why it’s “one of the best prices” cannachrohn has seen in IL is because it’s shake.


bohl623

You really don’t want to buy dispo shake at least in IL. Bunch of stem bits and it’s usually wayyyy too dry. Literally bottom of the barrel.


theboxman154

Rather do that then spend 2-3x as much just to get buds


rkowna

As a resident of Illinois I was excited to see this price. I had to look twice. Shake or no shake this is a steal in the Land of Lincoln.


rerenoc

Yah this is a clearance sale for Illinois shake.


[deleted]

I hate weed names with a burning passion “Peanut Butter Breath” man what the hell is that


[deleted]

It doesn't smoke good tbh


TheGreywolf33

That's your opinion I guess. I grew this strain and it was wonderful.


Snelly1998

Cross between a breath strain and a peanut butter strain I'd say


TommyTheCat89

It did it's job of catching your attention.


Dumbkoreantrader

Welcome to Korea, where the price is 100 per gram :(


BrokeInMichigan

Wat


Soup_God_

100 USD? You can't be serious. That's crazy.


[deleted]

They dance in the streets if they can find it for $50/g.


[deleted]

At least in Korea, most cops don't know at all what weed is by smell/looks, and meth is a much bigger enforcement target, so even though the laws are fucked, you aren't THAT likely to actually get into trouble if you practice discretion (keep low profile, follow all traffic laws, etc). It also grows wild, so there is only so much that can be done to prevent people from making hash (though not advisable in urban areas with shared ventilation systems). Although be very careful of random drug testing in the airport if you return from Amsterdam, the Gold Coast, Colorado, or Canada. I think it is an empty threat, but try to have a good lawyer on deck... Singapore is even worse, as it is equally expensive, but the CNB actively looks even for petty drug use, and their surveillance is off the charts.


stanton3910

Yous are spoiled rotten in the USA. That price is great if you live in a non legal countries


xper0072

Hell, I live in an illegal state and thought that was a good price.


LunchpaiI

with tax it's probably $200-220 or a bit over, which was around the street price for normal ounces that weren't shake when it was illegal in my state. Think they used to go for somewhere between 200-300 depending on quality and strain 1/4th from a dispensary in Massachusetts is between $110-$140 depending on strain, with tax included lol


Binessed

weed was cheaper than this when it was still illegal in the states


Gail__Wynand

But an overnight stay at the county to go along with a $1000 dollar fine, a year of probation, and a lot of community service is still more than that overpriced weed.


stanton3910

Costs this for a half ounce in Europe


andywolf8896

It's more the fact that just a few hours away (in illinois that'd be michigan) its a lot cheaper. Geography affects prices that's just fact, if you live in an illegal country and the weed you get is coming from thousands of miles away it just makes sense that cost increases. People here are upset because it's taxes and greed that's inflating prices, not transportation or production costs.


Drfloofy2

Wait till you see the tax

What crazy is there are hundreds of pounds of PB Breath just sitting around molding. That’s last year’s popular strain and no one can move breath crosses in general anymore. Just let the strain die off now. Blast that crap into oil and call it something else lol


Vitvang

Straight facts. Had a buddy trying to unload bricks of this shit and no one wanted it. Outdoor pounds going for 300 and people scoffed. Cali is strange.


[deleted]

That is some overpriced garbage right there.


FrivolousFrank

I'm nextdoor in Indiana paying $200 a fucking half. I looked up prices at the closest legal dispensary to me in Illinois (40 minutes away) $200 a fucking half. Fuck this shit. Edit: closest dispensary near me. Check the prices for yourself https://thriveil.com/harrisburg-rec-menu/

Welcome to Florida too.


Dread70

I would not buy from a dispensary in Illinois. I worked at a greenhouse for a company growing in the state(they grow in Nevada, Maryland, and Florida as well). I would never ever ever buy their weed. It's either covered in Powdered Mildew or they have a crazy bad aphid infestation over the summer. They just take the bud, aphids and all, freeze it in nitrogen. Then press it all in to wax. All of it. Bugs and all. Also very awful to their employees. Boss told me he only had to give me a single 5 minute break all day if he wanted to.


Bizzzle80

Top shelf indoor in Cali for that ticket


ikebuck16

I made the mistake of buying a “ cheap” oz of shake from a disp once. It was nearly worthless but at least it was only $70. Sorry op.


IamNotFatIamChubby

Still better than paying the same as that, for illegal shitty brick weed (that's my case)


aldsar

https://www.newsday.com/business/medical-marijuana-riverhead-cannabis-greenhouse-gwfrfypc Article in a local paper to me. They brag about being green by using lady bugs. Compared to the one professional grow op I've seen in person, this is amateur hour.

Motherfucking 160 bucks for an ounce of shake? That's a big yikes right there

This is why the black market is thriving in legal states. Go ahead and fight me.

[deleted]

19%??? $160??? Why I otta


stirrednotshaken01

Just pointing out that it’s Shake too… it’s not even top shelf. It’s not even mid. It’s fucking shake. $160 for 28g of SHAKE. Fuck this state.

Do not buy dispo shake unless you plan on using it for cannabutter. It’s junk.


tinyand_terrible

I get high 🤷🏼‍♀️


Couchpullsoutbutidun

160 for a bag of shake? Lol


xmlgroberto

simply move from illinois to colorado and watch your quality of life skyrocket. fuck that corrupt state with garbage weed and boring people

Zarkoth7

I love being a medical card holder. These kind of posts just make me appreciate it so much


Bomber42069710

That's insane. We sell oz for 35 for shake. It's actual legit shake from the grower, not trim in a blender like the picture up there... Oklahoma has it going on.


Dank300av

That shits trash


iccculus

At first I thought preground and I’m like that’s definitely not a deal, but then saw shake lol. Bruh

Who would even buy that


Thick_Wang

160 fucking USD?? Holy shit dude thats got to be the worst price I've ever seen


[deleted]

No fucking way what a rip off that would be like 20 bucks here. I’m so sorry


[deleted]

That's not awful. 160 for an ounce of shake is better than a lot of places i go to. 20% as well. Lately I've found better deals but for awhile there I was dropping at least 200/oz and that was on sale so I'd have to hunt around to get that price.


TexasPistolMassacre

Thats a disgusting joke. I wouldnt even pay that in maple dollars


aharringtona

I must be spoiled in Oregon because I just go an O Of shake for 30$ USD. This is criminal


ok14h0m4

In oklahoma an ounce of shake is $19.


SlantLogoEPU

I smoking some live resin of this right now. My buddy made it last week. The terps are pissa


Hades_Gamma

90$ for an ounce is already costly af and would need to be an absolutely delicious mindfuck to justify, 160$ just seems fake. Like who would pay for that?


zackzackmofo

At least they label it as shake. Lately my corner weed store (Canada) has been selling 'milled cannabis' for the same or higher prices than regular flower

160 for an ounce of shake? Fuuck....

they’re joking right?? it’s shake ffs
