My Go-To Dispos [May 2022]

69 Upvotes

I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OF THESE COMPANIES, THIS IS NOT PAID PROMOTION

This is going to be a comprehensive list of dispensaries/deliveries that I use regularly around the Bay Area. My rule of thumb is if taxes are NOT included, you are not getting the cheapest price. This rule does not apply to the dispensaries listed here that do not include tax.

For context, I am mainly a tree/vape smoker based out of the East Bay.

In-Store

Purple Star (San Francisco)

Includes Tax: No

Selection: Wide

Why I go: B2G1 URSA/Coldfire Carts (~$40 each OTD), insane daily deals, 20% off medical everyday

^As long as you're using a deal or 20% off medical everyday, 90% chance you're getting the best in-store price in the entire Bay Area. Don't go for tree, there are other dispos with better options + I love Green Dragon at the moment. They also offer delivery.

Love Shack by Green Dragon (San Francisco) - Delivery in East Bay with $7 fee

Includes Tax: I'm not sure, their prices seemed to be better in-store than on WeedMaps

Selection: Okay

Why I go: ONLY go for Green Dragon products, their $40 OTD eighths (highest price) is better than brands I've tried like Dubz Garden, CBX, LitHouse, Ball Family Farms. They also offer half-ounce/full-ounce smalls in the $100-200 OTD range.

^IMO best tree in the Bay, West Hollywood-based brand. Probably going to just stick to this for a while.

NUG (San Leandro)

Includes Tax: Yes

Selection: Wide

Why I go: $60 Jetty Solventless OTD, Best in-store prices in the East Bay, NUG Brand vapes/edibles offer extreme value like 2 for $20 OTD chocolate bars or 2 for $80 OTD live resin carts (haven't tried flower), large extract selection

^They don't list all their deals online so call or swing by the store. I haven't check out other locations. They also offer delivery.

Farmacy (Berkeley)

Includes tax: No

Selection: Wide

Why I go: Wide selection with decent deals on bulk upper-mids (Glasshouse Farms, etc.), 15% off medical which used to work out to ~6% off online price after-tax but they might have changed their pricing structure since I last visited

^I don't go here as often

Deliveries (My Fave)

Indika MCC (East Bay & SF)

Includes Tax: Yes, $3 flat delivery fee

Selection: RARE

Why I go: Exotic and rare small-batch flower and extracts from local growers, everything is listed at 20-40% everyday with higher discounts going to different categories that change everyday. If you want stuff you've never tried before, this is the place.

^You're going to want to take advantage of BOGO days which are typically a discounted top-shelf eighth or concentrate for an additional $`10-15. This is also a be-all, end-all dispensary.

Wild West Club (East Bay)

Includes Tax: Yes

Selection: Okay, but all top shelf

Why I go: $40 OTD eighths for brands like CBX, LitHouse, Ball Family Farms, that are usually $60-70 OTD (I don't know how they do it but it's legit), social equity brand, BOGO deals

^Unreal prices, highly recommend and only a $40 minimum (one eighth)

Medithrive (All of the Bay)

Includes Tax: No

Selection: Wide

Why I go: $60 OTD Jetty Solventless delivered, $50 OTD Jetty Solventless Pax Pod .5g, discounted edibles

^These are only limited-time deals, otherwise I'm never using Medithrive because they're overpriced

K&R Delivery (San Jose but delivers to East Bay)

Includes Tax: Yes

Selection: Fair

Why I go: Amazing vapes deals on Stiiizy and URSA, usually in bulk

Some others:

HerbNJoy (East Bay Delivery)

Okay deals but they give free medical recommendations

GoErba (East Bay Delivery)

Good deals on top-shelf brands time to time

High Life City is a scam. Absolutely avoid.

67 Upvotes

I think everyone here needs to know this, if not everyone in the Bay Area. High Life City is a scam operation, pure and simple. The thing is, I'm not sure how many more of these scam operations exist. I feel stupid enough for going with this as long as I did.

Last night, I just wanted to get some infused blunts delivered so my friends and I could enjoy some time together with something we don't normally get our hands on. It was very late, and the only place still doing delivery according to Google was High Life City. I called, asked if they really were still open (around 1AM), and the guy who picked up confirmed they were, but only through delivery which had to be placed on their site. I placed my order and paid through Cashapp, and the person texted me that the order was on its way to our agreed delivery address, in about 20 minutes. 10 minutes go by, and they text me that there is an additional delivery charge. Fair enough. I send the money and they tell me about 10 more minutes. 10 minutes later, they tell me that their policy requires an insurance fee. I'm suspicious since I had never heard of a policy like that, but I still paid it. I'm then told to wait 10 more minutes as the delivery person is on the way. 10 more minutes pass, and I'm told that I need to make another payment for "night safety insurance", which I pay, even while becoming increasingly skeptical. You can see where this is going. This process repeats 3 more times, using various excuses to gouge more money out of me. At some point, the person who I had been talking to stopped responding to my calls. After much longer than I care to admit, I fully cut my losses. Sunken cost fallacy kept me in much longer than it should have I suppose.

My point is, High Life City is a scam. They will never deliver to you. Avoid at all costs. I get that I'm an idiot. Don't be as stupid as me.

Budget Bud..... Connoisseurs BEWARE

Genetics๐Ÿงฌ: Sunset Sherbet ร— GSC

THC%๐Ÿ”ฌ: 25%

Roll ๐Ÿšฌ: Raw Ethereal Cone

Value๐Ÿ’ฒ: 5g @ 15 ( Buy Two @ $30)

Nose ๐Ÿ‘ƒ : Earthy Notes with Citrus Tones

Looks ๐Ÿง : lovely green, but a noticeable lack of crystals

Taste ๐Ÿ˜ค: Not the best LCG I've tasted, but not horrible

Stoned ๐Ÿ—ฟ: The high punches well above its weightclass

Overall๐ŸŽ“: C+/B- ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ‘‰You can't judge a book by its cover!!! This bud's a true underdog, doesn't look, smell, or taste the best, but boy oh boy, its gets you good-n-stoned ๐Ÿชจ

If I were to judge the after Effect in a blind test, I'd easily think this was an entry-level Premium flower.

Reminds me of the scene from Rudy...

"You're 5 foot nothin', 100 and nothin', and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best."

(blueberry x gsc)
A kind of sweet floral/blueberry smell along with some cookie mixed in. It smells nice and appealing to the eye.
Soft nugs with nice structure and trichomes
A calm, sweet taste at the start that settles in as you smoke it. Also a gassy cookie of sorts in the flavor. Tastes amazing and is going down quite smoothly. Very nice flavor.

Indoor Growing

1 Upvotes

Anybody here have any experience with truly keeping indoor grows stealthy? Looking at a 2x2 or 2x4 and I think Iโ€™ve found the best equipment to buy based on community sentiment, but Iโ€™m not sure how stealthy it all is in practice. Looking to use charcoal/carbon filters, negative tent/room pressure, odor gels/sprays during flower/harvest.

Anyone here actually pulling it off without the neighbors knowing or complaining?

I built a free site to keep score of cannabis brands

42 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a website to help the community tell good cannabis brands from bad ones. Its called HonestBud (http://www.honestbud.io). I love the review community on Reddit (and its always super useful) but there's no way to actually keep score of each brand. Great reviews get buried after a week and the record disappears.

Full transparency: I built it, and it's brand new, the California brands are loaded (you can add if some are missing), but there are no reviews yet. That's exactly why I'm asking here! If fellow ents start posting thoughtful reviews, it could become a genuinely useful running scoreboard for the community. It's free, no ads, and no brands can pay for placements.

Let me know what you think!

PSA: Be careful at White Fire if buying Team Elite Genetics

Thumbnail
gallery
28 Upvotes

I bought a "bag" (first red flag) of Team Elite Genetics at White Fire dispensary. I later learned through this community that itโ€™s a knockoff of the real thing due to some company drama and a split that I wasn't aware of.
Despite the May 26th pack date on the bag, the flower was incredibly dry, stale, and smelled straight up like hay. I'm not a seasoned buyer yet, so I wanted to spread awareness for anyone else who might not know what to look out for or follow the "inside baseball" drama of these brand splits. Avoid these bags.

20 visiting from Canada - what are my options here?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm visiting West Hollywood from Vancouver for a the next 18 days and in a bit of a tricky spot, I usually smoke 2-4g of flower daily due to my anxiety and it makes all the difference in my day to day life.

the issue is that I'm 20 and without access to my medicine I'm really struggling with anxiety and functioning normally here.

I'm open to whatever works I just need to figure out how to get through my stay here, would greatly appreciate anyone that can point be in the right direction! ๐Ÿ™

Thanks guys, wishing a happy Sunday to all of you!

Bunch of almost empty carts

Post image
11 Upvotes

I got like 30+ Jetty solventless carts from the past year that are almost empty but have some hits left in them for sure. Not sure if there is any way to give these away, or if anybody would even want them? In the past I've taken them apart and used a hair dryer to get a bit out of them but I don't want to bother this time.

I take a cart out with me for a week or so, so I don't like to take ones that are almost empty. I try to finish them off but don't always.

Anybody have the same problem?
