I haven't checked out the Maui dispensary yet. I heard they had a private opening this last week and tomorrow (Monday) is the official opening the the public. From what I saw on IG it looks like the quality is okay, but not worth $19-21/gram. There's been some pretty funny memes on IG about Aloha Green. One guy said he was finding several seeds in his stuff. I knew they dispensaries weren't going to be able to compete with the gray market on price and I suspected they wouldn't be able to match quality either, but it sounds like the only reason anybody would only go there is for the novelty of it or maybe if you're someone who is a medical cannabis patient and a hermit/anti-social or REALLY new to the islands.
I'm kind of surprised to hear that the quality wasn't up to par at the Oregon dispensaries. You probably have to know the right dispensary to go to, but how do the dispensaries with lesser quality even make a living? In my circles you literally can't get rid of B grade buds. Nobody wants them even for a REALLY good price. Maybe I just hang out with too many weed snobs or something. There is plenty of good weed here so I guess that's spoiled the guys I know, ha ha.
