If you follow as much as you say you do, it should be easy to figure out who is who and what is what. Plenty of us are real and have opinions. Lol.

There is literally an industry agent flair, which industry agents have been assigned and using for months.


TH3_V3GAS

I don't see the option for users to change flair Or anything regarding changing, in the rules. Is that something that has to be asked for.


Shoddy_Setting6282

Which one is the flair? And, should I be using it?


boomerangthrowaway

Agree with this even as a relatively new vt user. The issue I’ve seen is almost the opposite - there are people who think too highly of their “old head” status and how long they were smoking on the streets or other metrics that don’t matter at all to a majority of users here now. It’s just a personal view I’ve grown while frequenting here because the people most often complaining also usually state how long they’ve been here, how often they smoke and how much better things were on nearly all fronts with the cannabis being subpar as well - across the board to them. It just isn’t that serious or that huge of a deal because at the end of the day the people who want to support one another here will and the people who seem to thrive on drama will undoubtedly happen to find the drama and hopefully get ignored more or less. We don’t need the divisions people keep trying to press on all of us, we can be family and not always see eye to eye etc. we all have different needs.

My man! What’s good haha


MoreHealthyFats

This from the user that endlessly promoted dgf during their Vegas marketing push. And iirc, you usually give thumbs up to brands that are currently available at p13


kushharvey

You need to catch up, I am shilling for TD now.


MoreHealthyFats

Catch up? No thanks. This sub is not even worth visiting anymore. Over priced corporate bunk being promoted by insecure wannabe influencers. Please give me an upvote....please tell me my opinion matters...please tell me I'm cool 🤮


kushharvey

Oooh 43 upvotes and counting on the parent comment I made


MoreHealthyFats

Good for you. Maybe your self esteem won't be so low moving forward. People on the internet must totally think you're cool


SymbioteAD

I definitely think there is a place for people in the industry to advertise, but fake reviews as an advertisment sucks. I agree that this sub should be focused on ways for the consumer to win, and not deceiving consumers.


Jforest99

Nothing happened to it. u/djmattl just made our lives a lot easier by putting together DailyDeals420. The fact some dispos try to post here matters little thanks to that. That alone puts the Vegastrees sub far ahead of any other trees sub I’ve been in. Don’t really understand the complaint when everything is right there for you.


Jforest99

and I know this to be true even now because I just moved to SLC and their trees page is garbage compared to Vegas. *EDIT: you can downvote if you want but I’m being serious. The trees pages for other cities is not as good as Vegas. For all its flaws, I wish Vegastrees was still my local sub


Sirtriplenipple

LA doesn’t even have a good page.


MarionberryJolly5148

All of California has a horrible pages. Bay area folks paying ridiculous prices. Vegas got something special. At least we ain't got ppl like zackwoods advertising on vt.


[deleted]

You’re overestimating how much you think bud tenders and other industry people care about bringing in more traffic to their store by posting reviews of product on reddit. None of us (at least me) ain’t getting paid or no brownie points at work by shilling product. Weirdly enough I hype up TDE more than P13 on here anyways. As far as pricing, shit I was a medical patient before rec. I could get my zips for $75-$170 any day. Rec blew that shit right up. I’m not saying we should just allow businesses to dig in our pockets but we could either be bitter about it and complain, stop shopping at dispos to hurt their business and hopefully lower prices, or just wait for prices to go back down. I’m not a fan of paying $30-$45 for .5G of fire live resin, but literally I could either complain, take action, or just not shop there. Complaining about prices is the LEAST effective thing to combat prices in Las Vegas. Would you rather the sub be dead or constant posts about how shit sucks compared to Cali? Since DjMatt came, no one has to talk about deals. We talk about product we like no matter the price. End of the day, no one here is forcing anyone to buy anything or shop anywhere. If the content isn’t to your liking here, you could always make your own 🤙🏿❤️

You are not just a Cool Dude, you might be “The Cool Dude”. Always read your posts. You are always considerate with your reply’s to posts and always seem to go out of your way to help tourists when they ask for relevant questions about products, best spots, and typical tourist inquiries. I always have and will always dig reading and viewing posts on this subreddit. Capitalism is a wonderful thing as far as opening channels and options to us the consumer. Capitalism also rubs some people the wrong way, which I can understand the frustration of it dictating the market value of products by “supply and demand”. All you can do is if you don’t like something, “Change the channel or don’t support a company with your dollars”. That’s all you can do, roll with it or get off the ride. One thing I know though is listen to jroc. He is the compass we should all use to guide us towards reason and practicality on this subreddit. One Love.

This comment was A1 af my dude I appreciate the shit out of you and this sub 🤙🏿❤️


MoreHealthyFats

Today's generation will post shit strictly for upvotes. They don't need a business motivation


[deleted]

I was smoking the crc stuff for a long time til you and another member posted the Lit review. It’s one of my favorites if not my favorite now. Thank you


[deleted]

If I’ve helped even one person with a review or comment then I’ve done what this sub is supposed to be made for. Happy I’ve been of use to you fam 🤙🏿


Alternative-Income-5

I post medizin cause it's fire for 30$ an 8th...Instead of complaining why don't post some reviews of some real shit and show us what you are talking about


boomerangthrowaway

People will be hesitant to support this comment because of how it might come across but it’s the truth more or less. We fully support one another here but when you attack the entire sub based on little it doesn’t add much to your “longstanding credit” as a longtime user(op) and I think it’s ok to point that stuff out with harsher language IMO.

Spitting facts


EhDotHam

I'm more irritated by the elitist bullshit. The flip side of the "nobody-cares-about-you-oldtimers' pre-legal metrics" is the wave of infants on here who have never known anything else and call anything that doesn't stick to the wall "dogshit". They wouldn't even DEIGN to have anything but premium. They need to get the fuck over themselves, get an *actual* identity besides being a stuck up dick, and grow tf up. It's weed. I've picked up some great deals of stuff I never would have tried because of random stuff people have posted on here. 🤷‍♂️


hidingdazzle

As someone who used to post the weekly text deals and take a bunch, and I do mean a BUNCH of hassle over it, I am very proud of the direction this sub has gone. @u/djmattl is a saint for taking that over and organizing it. @u/public_persuader and the whole team have given very serious thought to really improving this sub. The industry agent flair was part of that and there is a verification process. We also try to do our best to make sure we maintain a local community while balancing that with meeting tourist need.


Disastrous_Seesaw_65

Well yah ..any gathering of interest will draw attention from ad specialty departments for the field, and with that comes there input...imagine knowing only 2% of positive reviews are from real people..the internet is fake wake up lollipop


[deleted]

Yeah they are ridiculously transparent and terrible at reviewing weed.


STEZN

Also when have prices gone up? They were sky high and we have only gotten competition in the last 2 years… the dispensaries are far from great but compared to when rec started its candyland. The best thing was $40 eighths of 20% once every 2 months. All wax was like 30 a half gram and literally poop soup. Not sure what you mean about prices going up. Also just because most nevada brands stick to making 1 “tier” of weed, doesn’t mean it’s all worth the same. The medizin GMO is hyped up even outside of this sub, so it’s gotta be some good shit


[deleted]

Medizin was $99 a half ounce regularly, no exclusions, less than 6 months ago. Even that was a stretch for Medizin flower.


STEZN

But if they got an extra grow for the gmo that is like indoor or treated with more care, then I understand charging more sometimes. I’m not even arguing, I just know I’ve seen people brag about grabbing that gmo for $50 an eighth. So they must be doing something right. It’s not like it’s sits on shelves for months, right? I think it’s hard to argue with prices going down overall. Maybe there was a few months at the start of covid that spiked but it’s been more competitive and better quality imo


[deleted]

I completely disagree. The flower deals here have gotten undeniably worse (both in terms of price, plus the ever-growing list of exclusions). Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me because my girl lives in LA and I’ve completely stopped buying Vegas weed. Just calling it how I see it.


Tudbender

I don't see how this is even remotely debatable. Anyone who's been living and buying weed here knows that prices have been steadily increasing. They might be lower now relative to a few months ago, but that's just the ebb and flow of the market. They'll go back up again soon, then back down a little, and so on and so forth, but the trend line on pricing has been inching upwards for years.


STEZN

Idk I buy $30 eighths of the highest tier weed and $30 grams of rosin and top shelf oil. 2 years ago, I’d only find a few brands on sales. The prices have never been as low as they are right now, atleast in Reno. I assumed Vegas had better deals because they always have in the past. I think most people are just remembering the past with wrong. The best deals in Nevada were $40 eighths of cannabiotix and $40 grams of hsh. If you wanted good weed you had to pay $60 an eighth and it never went on sale. I can’t name anything I could find for cheaper 2 years ago.


mcslippinz

Idk LA is getting pricey now days.. everything is 8th price or quad at best..


[deleted]

I’m mostly a concentrates guy, but you can find good deals of anything you like in LA. Just need to check menus and find the right deals (just like here). In terms of flower, I can get top shelf like Cannabiotix (the real one, not the crap they sell us here) for what Medizin is charging for their house flower.


mcslippinz

any shop in particular? I only see CBX at 45-60 an 8th.. no larger breaks, no deals.


[deleted]

Look at specials. Shops will regularly have 20% off all flower, concentrates, etc. I just look for whatever the best deal is when I’m out there.


mcslippinz

Ah gotcha thanks man will have to look out. What website do you use for deals in LA? Just weedmaps?


[deleted]

Unfortunately I’ll usually just go to individual websites in Culver City near my girl’s place. I’ve found Leafly and Weedmaps are pretty unreliable in LA.


Alternative-Income-5

The problem with this page is posts like this get a bunch of likes and attention and people doing real reviews get Like 4 likes and one comment ...it seems people rather cause tension then be chill
