I like it because It looks scary as shit in case I have to cut some dummy out of his car
but the reality is it kind of sucks for vines n small stuff. Thick stuff its great though
Hahaha, cut someone out of their car. It sure as hell would make an impression if you hacked off a mirror while screaming at a asshole at a traffic light.lol
I, myself keep an estwing tactical tomahawk in my work truck. One day some over privileged college kid flipped me off, so we stop at the light about a quarter mile away and I step out with the tomahawk just to say " hi asshole " . That MF tore out of there, kinda made my day. I noticed the the lady behind me, the look on her face was priceless.

Lol, I have to be mentally prepared before I drive.
My problem is if you cut me off and I get on the horn to alert you and instead of nodding politely and going on yer day you instead flip me off.

Instant meltdown.

Im getting better but im not there yet.

Hahaha me to. We live in a rural area, but the area between us and my job has had tremendous industrial growth. And the traffic has got so bad that when I do get home.....fuck it's bad. Hell I hardly ride the Harley anymore, it's just no fun setting in traffic.

You already have, Tyler's Sweet Shop. Leave out the cannabis and you start regional then national. Seriously, your biz may pick up once the newness of medical wears off. It was that way in Cali for a bit. Med was overpriced, quality in most was lacking. Plus, many folks don't wish to be on a gov't list.
Sucks huh?

What malt said though. The novelty will wear off. Most people in Cali at this point think it's lame to go to dispensaries. Shit quality. High prices etc.

The once a month soccer mom smoker is the main dispensary client. No heavy smokers I know would ever go to one.

My motto is : "I will beat their price and their quality".

Plus when recreational comes here (tomorrow) it's getting taxed so hard eighths are gonna be 90 bucks!

Look at Colorado. The black market is going crazy!

You got this Tyler. ;)

In CA you don't have to be on a government list unless you wish to be. I do carry a medical recommendation I choose not to pay extra to be in a government database. But that recommendation and my medical records give me an argument to use in a CA system.

I've joined 2 dispensaries and tried one's weed. It was horrifically bad. Plus I don't trust it knowing about the kids who grow here and put horrid shit on their crop. The other dispensary was to purchase some seeds, which they refused to sell me. They were saving the #GG4 seeds for their 'friends'. I asked to be removed from their list and left.

I imagine some of your guys will be back and you will get new ones, as Malt and Bob said.

You probably already know this, but when you cook edibles, try to keep oven temp below 300 when you finish. This will help preserve terps. I start mine at 300 then turn it down to 250 after 30 mins. Takes ~70 mins to bake.
I live in a state with medical & rec cannabis and have seen this go down first-hand.
Bottom line: You will have to beat both quality & price to keep your customers.
Why?
  • Mandatory testing for chemicals & mold/mildew.
  • Easy access. Dispensaries are convenient.
  • It's legal. No worries about getting busted for possession.
  • Variety. Pretty much everything under the sun. Lots of strains, oil, wax, pre-filled cartridges, etc.
  • A big chunk of revenue goes to the state. In WA a lot of it is used for education.
Thanks for the encouraging words, guys. I appreciate it. The situation is unique in Illinois - they have one central growing facility for the entire State, and only they can grow for all Il dispensaries. Apparently, they really know their shit and grow fire. I haven't experienced it personally, but I know my customers have great taste and know what they are talking about. So, the quality seems to be there, but I need to research the pricing in order to make sure I beat it by a good margin. I'll continue baking edibles and growing dank-ass weed, but I'll be hitting up @Aeroknow on how to start extracting resin and making vape cartridges. I'm sure I'll need to invest another couple grand in equipment, which is fine. It was so much easier to simply grow the weed, fml. I hope the novelty of the dispensaries wears off soon, I just need to work harder for a while to find us old folks who just wanna sit back and light some natural, unprocessed nugs. The way god intended it...
