r/ILTrees - At Select, we are always striving to be Better. That is why we held back the launch of our Live Collection until we believed we had truly perfected the experience.

We invested in robust sensory testing and continued refining it until it tested better than the leading live resin competitors on what matters most: fuller flavor, richer aroma and a truer-to-the-plant experience.

Friday, Select Briq 2 Live Collection officially arrives, made with live resin terpenes, melted diamonds and pure cannabis oil.

We’re ready for you to experience it. We hope you give it a try and let us know what you think of the Select Live experience.

And look out for a Reddit-exclusive Select giveaway beginning Friday.

Which terpenes would you like to see added to the lineup? So when we select them for you, we Select Better! We can't wait to hear from you.

I don’t think people are taking into consideration how much goes to the cultivator and how much goes to taxes and the dispensary. say you pay $50 out the door for an eighth roughly 30% of that $50 is tax. so now you’re down to $35 keep in mind The dispensary does 100% mark up On pretty much everything. So that means half of that 35 goes to the dispensary. that means the cultivator is getting roughly $17.50 per eighth not taking any discounts into consideration, which is also split between the dispensary and the cultivator most times. That $17.50 has to go to paying to grow the flower, paying the rent, ,paying for packaging, paying for testing, paying for licensing, paying for equipment, paying for insurance, paying for transportation, paying for taxes, paying their employees a fair wage.…… I could go on. Don’t even get me started on how long some of these dispensaries take to pay the cultivators… 99% of the time everything has to be fronted out and the dispensaries want 30 to 90 day terms. And usually they pay late. Not all of them, but most of them.

The big mso’s only care about mass producing flower. in order to accomplish that most of it is grown in greenhouses or rooms that are way over, packed and lack airflow and proper defoliation and light penetration,Leading to larf, bugs, and mold in the long run. hence remediated flowers…So before you shit on a craft cannabis company for charging what they charge understand where 80% of that money goes. Companies like nez, Redemption Botanicals, Ic Collective, one day, cannect, nomad …have a way smaller footprint as well. Craft grows are capped at 15,000 ft.² of canopy. And most of those guys aren’t operating in 15,000 ft.². and most likely there is passion behind those companies, so they are probably paying more for nutrients because they want better quality inputs and they are paying more because most likely they are not buying in bulk the way the big guys are. so before you jump on here complaining about craft grows prices understand how much they are really getting out of the amount that you spend. if you want $100 ounces or $80 ounces then you shop with the MSO. If the price of craft ever drops that low, there wont be any craft left in Illinois and all we will be left we with is MSO mids. #SUPPORTCRAFTGROWS

It sucks that Chicago is such a huge city, but still so far behind. I loved visiting Oregon and California because it was a growers' dream. A lot of their dispensaries and grow shops had reasonable priced clones and beans that were good genetics. Some dispensaries like Archive in Portland even had in-house clones. You really felt the culture in those states

Is there a reason that when I buy Delta 9 gummies online from like enjoyfive I get super high and they work but all the gummies I have gotten from local dispos literally don’t do anything I can eat 50mg from the dispo and feel nothing but 15mg delta 9 gummies hit like the truck and are a lot cheaper also?? Any recommendations?

Eat a ton of gummies, but finding a specific strain is sometimes impossible. Don’t want to trash my lungs (quit smoking in 87) so I was looking into buying some concentrate/rosin/resin etc.. and try making some home made gummies where I can choose what strain I want. Can anyone point me in a direction to find out if this is possible? Or someone who has done it themselves?

What a wacked out article imo. Their top 10 "Best Weed Brands in Illinois" 2026 I find to be disrespectful to the consumers in Illinois. They omit all the really good worthy brands imo like Nez, Nomad, Redemption Botanicals, One Day, Connect, Flora, Sol Canna, ect. But Verano, Revolution, and 93 Boyz are among the top Brands??? Really? They even had the audacity to call Aeriz, Revolution, and Bedford Grow craft quality and terpene-forward flower brands, LMFAO 🤣 😂🤣 The author of this article Joel Mott doesn't seem to have a clue. Actually I'm starting to think this might be a mso paid advertisement disguised as a legit article.

Eyeing halves of both of these right now. Price is about the same, ~100. Have had good experiences with Nez but I’ve been seeing some nice-looking Moonbeam Gelato on here. Thanks!

Might pick this up and give it a try today

I’ve really only touched the tip of the iceberg and just buy the first thing i see, usually i get 1oz and call it one. But now im curious to what’s some good brands and strains i should try?

One of the best T3s I’ve had from Gti

Lineage: Ghost 1 × Pure Kush × OG Diesel
Type: Hybrid

​Aroma: Loud enough to smell sitting on the table. Pure armpit, cat food, and old-school skunk gas.

​Visuals: Coated in heavy frost, with a few small holes where seeds were.

​Flavor & Smoke: Classic, old-school funk chasing new-school candy on the smoke.

​Consistency: By the third quarter purchased, it felt a little different. Found three seeds total in the batch.

​Verdict: Still phenomenal smoke overall.

​

​Type: Photoperiod Hybrid

​Visuals & Texture: Very dense buds with heavy frost and trichome coverage.

​Aroma & Profile: Very pungent and loud—heavy notes of old-school skunk gas, cat food, and funky armpit, rounded out with a new-school candy finish.

​Smoke & Experience: A phenomenal smoke overall, though the third pickup hit a little differently than the first two.

​Batch Note: Found three seeds in the batch.

(Animal Mints x Kush Mints) Two of my favorite strains combined how could i pass this one is smoking !!!

IC Collective Strains Vote Up Love These Polls

Tried this out the other day. It tasted good and was chill in its high. Overall it Smoked pretty decent, however, I’ve heard some other strains are better. Which strain from otherside is the best?

(Candy Rain x Blulato) smells like ammonia taste like it wirh a hint of blue candy shits fire

If only I knew...

Been grabbing a lot more Find. lately and honestly they’ve been super consistent. Picked up White Hot Guava and Banana Papaya, and both were solid. White Hot Guava had the louder smell and hit a little harder, while Banana Papaya was more of a chill, easy smoke. Nothing over the top, just two strains I’d have no problem grabbing again.
The buds looked good, smoked smooth, and gave me exactly the kind of kick back high I was looking for. On top of that, I’ve been seeing some really good deals on Find lately, which makes it even easier to keep coming back. Definitely vibin with these. 8.5/10
