Reply to comment by playdohplaydate in Legal weed customers continued spending millions on cannabis taxes in the third quarter as more dispensaries began recreational marijuana sales: New Jersey collected more than $7.7 million in taxes on cannabis purchases from July through September by rollotomasi07071
Pretty much. A lot of these events do have some decent plugs but some of them also sell boof bullshit products.
A lot of growers too. Grand majority of them aren't great but there's a good amount of decent to amazing growers in the black market that put these dispensaries to shame. I'm a medical patient and I haven't gone back to a dispensary in several months. Just no point when your plug is getting you stuff from craft shops from Maine. California too but it's way pricier and generally not as fresh.
I see these events happen every month or so but a lot og these plugs operate off of Instagram or telegram.
A med patient that doesn't like breakwater? Sad :(
Breakwater is ok but they are kinda inconsistent and dry and when it's dry it can feel terpless. Also some of their strains just lack in potency. Maybe I just have a high tolerance.
They're the best dispo in NJ as far as I'm concerned, but they're also the only decent dispo in a sea of bad MSOs so it's also not saying much. Love their pheno hunts and small batches events. More dispos need to do that. I go to a local grower and he does pheno hunt boxes and it's the best. His stuff puts boujie craft brands from Cali and Maine to shame. I think once the legal industry settles in more, people will realize that a meticulous grower who puts TLC in it is incomparable and likely won't be toppled by industrial scale growth cultivars aka dispensaries weed will never be as good as it should be.
I would love to see what this grower can do with some seeds of Animal Face because as it is in the rec market, great strains like grease monkey and animal Mints are considered boofs.
>they are kinda inconsistent and dry and when it's dry it can feel terpless. Also some of their strains just lack in potency. Maybe I just have a high tolerance.
Never once gotten dry bud from there nor has anyone I known gone there gotten dry bud, it's easily the most consistent and best in program for med patients. Always tasted terp profiles fine as well. Potency is average although higher potencies are not necessarily good or better and there are even plenty of studies now showing that higher than normal THC potentcies can actual be detrimental.

I've been to Maine and they are pretty on par imo with their dispensaries just wish they had more availability and selection but they are a restricted grower rn which is unfortunate.
>Love their pheno hunts and small batches events. More dispos need to do that.
That we agree on! It's also good for the plant itself as more hybridization yields better cannabis in the future generations for the strain.

Also agree! I think a lot of people in the general sub here do not realize the impact of limiting market access has done to our cannabis industry, but at the same time we are reaching the one year mark of legal weed. That said I have heard good things from inside that there should be more small businesses opening up in general this year as many more growers were given licenses this past year to begin cultivation.
Well with Breakwater we will agree to disagree.
Sure go ahead with the downvotes but it's just not worth driving 2 hours there and back for products that I get are inconsistent and nothing people say on reddit will change that and they're not good enough to justify 2 hour drive when I can get someone who delivers Maine stuff to my door. On top of that it's fair to say cannabis affects everyone differently so if you like it more power to you. I dry herb vape so terps are very important to me and inconsistencies stick out like a sore thumb.
I've been told people never got chloroform tasting weed from Rise yet I've gotten them all the time from strains I get many times to know it's not normal so let's just say people get different batches and maybe you're very lucky with BW. I'm not alone with that and that still doesn't change that they lack in potency.
Fwiw There's a lot of bad Maine cultivars like Green Truck. You can't tell me though Breakwater is anywhere near on par with Maine Craft Cannabis, Frost Factory, Bissell Buds or Mentation though. So I agree being in a better state doesn't automatically mean you will be protected from the bs in our state just like how being in the Grey market doesn't automatically mean people are getting good/better weed. Also, even for cultivars that I find are on par with BW like Native Relief and Skunkfoot, they're still way cheaper than BW so again 2 hour drive for expensive weed or no drive for cheaper weed that I think is better. It's a win win and I think it's fair to say cannabis is a medicine that affects people differently. I gave BW credit where it's due. No need to downvote because I don't like your tribe. People were raving about the papaya strain from BW but imo that strain was nothing special. Papaya strains are nothing new.
BW really just needs a solid competition imo to take them to the next step.
As for the final point in regards to grower wirh tlc vs industrial corporate growth, price issues causing dispensaries to close down in California. Something to consider.
