You just said you don't spend over $30 on an 8th so I wouldn't expect you to know what elite weed is...
Simple economics, more demand and not enough supply so the prices go up like with anything in life.
Yes, but you don't spend over $30 on an 8th remember so this whole concept will be very hard for you to grasp.
Grandma's Cookies is the cut Khash is using for his freeze dried flower. The price is more to do with the curing process, they retain almost all the terpenes in the bud by deep freezing it and putting it through a process of sublimation.

Hey man if you’ve got the money I’m selling some ocean front land in Arizona, I’ve enjoyed many sunsets there while smoking $30 8ths. I can’t even fathom how awesome it would be to chill there smoking $150 8ths

The 8ths are $500 and they are freeze dried like astronaut food.

In my experience visiting several dispensaries in Ca, trying different strains from different brands etc... I came to 2 very simple but harsh conclusions
1. You have to do your homework, check reviews of the brands, strains, products, etc that you are buying before you buy, and then look for availability.
2. With dispensary weed, in general, you get what you pay for, a 30 bucks 8th that they have in transparent containers on super illuminated shelves, that everyone gets a whiff every hour, releasing the humidity of the bud making it dry and not very smelly nor potent is exactly that, 30 bucks. However I once bought an alien labs area 41 8th for 80 bucks and dayumn that thing was just fire, they come in a black glass container and they are not exposed to the light, the container comes sealed thus keeping the freshness of the bud and the terpenes in there, every time I opened that thing, the whole room would start smelling delicious, I had never had that kind of experience with cheaper weed TBH but that's just my experience.

Oregon rec weed is straight booty. Even my worst home grown is better than most shit I've bought.
It starts off quality in most cases but ever shop/grower/supplier bounces every last bit of trichs they can it seems. Plus they all harvest at 6 1/2 - 7 week point so they can get in an extra harvest each year.

Not to mention learning to grow and then smoking your own is so very satisfying! Always trying to improve upon what you grew before is so addictive

Was in a shop the other day and was watching the budtender fill pre roll tubes in a giant shaker box. The stuff he was using was the worst looking shake I've seen!

Who was selling Blueberry Muffin? I'd love to buy a flower to compare it to what I grew last summer. Love that strain!

Good weed comes to those with money.
Better weed comes to those with friends.
Best weed comes to those who grow.

That tooProbably because the cops don’t give a shit anymore. They literally interviewed the police for that article and they just said “ain’t shit we can do, because loopholes.”If I was BMillz, I’d be more concerned about getting a fat tax bill once the rec market actually opens.
Tioga County Sheriff: Bmillz raid stemmed from 'illegal sale of marijuana'
WAVERLY — Law enforcement officials from the Tioga County Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office and State Police executed search warrants last Friday on three Bmillz locations.

Wow, I dunno where to start. I read this entire thread. Some great insights
and information here, thank you to all who contributed. RIU is awesome.
I wish i'd found this board about 5 years ago. And those pix, whew...unreal.
Make Hightimes foldouts look like rank amateurs.
I began smoking cannabis again after a 27 year layoff. First stuff we got back in 2017 was
meh, okay, i guess. I hadn't had a toke for 27 years, so i should've gotten
much higher. And I'm once-a-day toker, every day since then. And, will not
grow, due to illegality, and like some of you, am scared to death of going
to prison for manufacture and distribution of a schedule one narcotic, to wit
marijuana (sic). Been there, done that.
So, as for dispos, their product sux.
Gags you out, which would be barely tolerable if there was a high as strong
as the cough is, but there isn't. I have not been nearly as high on any of the
product I've purchased at the dispo (avg. price about $30.00/eighth) as I was
on the last of the quarter pound I got busted for sales of a quarter oz back in the '90s.
That was called colombo green and I think I paid about $300.00 for it back then.
Very smooth taste, not the least harsh, and great, mellow, long lasting high.
The dispo smoke for the past five years has offered me nothing even close to that in
either taste or high. Here's a pic of an 8th that I paid about $35.00 for a few months back
called "Dream Beaver":
My apologies for the pic quality. I used a 10 years old, Canon with I think 12MP resolution. So, it's what it's.
I go through the topics here at RIU (I joined oct. 30, this year)
and just drool over those pix and descriptions, and I'm sure some, hell, a lot of the
members here grow some fabulous, tasty, nice high smoke. I will never get to try
any of it
until the USA legalizes is (which will be never, because the cops and the
prison-industrial complex would lose Billions). DEA would go broke if they couldn't
run around chasing pot dealers. Grrr. Like meth and fentanyl isn't enough, they gotta
toss harmless pot smokers in prison.
Anyway, I've been trying to figure a way to consume without smelling up the 'hood and
being stigmatized for smoking it. Preferred way would be tinctures. I have bought five
different tincs from the dispo and all they do is leave a bad taste under my tongue. No high, tho.
But we keep trying.
The good members of this fabulous board has provided me with some answers on how to
make my own tinc. I will give it another try in a month or so, after my U/A. However, because
of the intolerance of my 'hood and neighborhood, will be intolerant of any odor when I decarb
and make my extract for my tincture. So far my efforts have produced no high.
I am amazed at some of the prices I've seen in this thread, $500 an eighth? Did i see that? From a
dispo? Really? Wow. I'd just have to quit, especially if it's no-high, choke 'n gag, like I've been
toking and choking on for the past 5 years. Now don't get me wrong, I get a buzz, usually. But not
a very good one. Maybe it's my tolerance, I dunno.
I will report back on my next smoke session though, because I go on a tolerance break two months,
every year, to take my annual U/A, because I wouldn't want the DEA to find any THC in my urine,
God forbid! The lousy sons of bitches.
