Cool.

Imagine what they would have looked like if the state hadn't made edibles capped at 5mg like a bunch of fucking idiots.

I make my own with avb that are around 80mg but I would really like to be able to stroll to the store and buy some decently dosed ones. Also what they're charging at ceres for 1g carts is 15$ less than I paid for 3 coming from out of state. I would really like to support local businesses but things gotta change first.

That’s that 92% wholesale vape tax for you. And FWIW ceres is actually cheaper than the others that have carts that I’ve seen. I think GSG has only one strain and it’s a 0.5G cart for $60. Ceres is 1g for $75

MeowWhat t1_j14tvdp wrote

The whole over taxing of vapes is incredibly dumb. I did see that cart on the gsg website. I would have to have absolutely 0 tolerance and only use it once a week to justify that cost. I'll stick with my 30$ ones from out of state until things get better here.

The other huge pain is that bill also made it impossible to order rolling papers... I'm handicapped and can't roll so I used to buy big packs of cones and use raws "six shooter". Its just not an option anymore. Websites literally won't let me ship it to Vermont.

I think you are able to get products shipped to retailers and then pick up from retailer. I had to do this with a PuffCo vape product. It’s apparently so the state knows that underage persons are not buying this stuff.

polarbearrape t1_j16dkfw wrote

I can, but it then gets hit with the vape tax as far as I know and doubles in price. Cones are already expensive enough for a pack of paper...

that has changed, puffco will ship to vermont addresses now

I looked at Amazon for what you want and there's nothing about not shipping to vt. Also all the head shops here carry them.

As soon as I try to order it says they won't ship to vt

From amazon?

I want to try but I mostly use a dry herb vape these days. If they had a cheap option I would take a stab at it just to see.

Where do you go to get them? Living up in the northwest corner of the state it’s hard to justify going to MA

MeowWhat t1_j14ukom wrote

Someone I knew went to mass I think and bought them in bulk. I paid 35$ for the first one then later 3 for 90$.

There is a "Get Yours" in Johnson Vermont, same group of stress used to be called "Good stuff". They are cheesey headshops with sex toys and Chinese glass but, it's a head shop. They have papers and vapes and stuff

whaletacochamp t1_j16nenk wrote

But they’re not a dispensary so they aren’t selling THC cartridges

Pretty sure I replied to the wrong comment, pardon. I thought I was helping someone find a good source for papers.

These things are laughable vs. making your own from locally made sauce. Even Natures Way is like half the price for way better quality.

whaletacochamp t1_j14ry3d wrote

Can you get natures way shipped here?

fakebeerrealweed t1_j14u424 wrote

Yes, and that means EVERYTHING in their catalog. Don't forget your coupon code!

whaletacochamp t1_j14ucu6 wrote

Neat. And they’re reputable? Some of their stuff looks gimmicky af

MeowWhat t1_j1551ng wrote

I'd like an answer to this as well. Their site has some neat stuff and some stuff that looks ridiculous

BudsKind802 OP t1_j159srk wrote

I'll find out. If I don't report back in a week, you'll know it's a Fed front

EDIT: I had to take a picture of my license and another with me holding up my license. A little weird for verifying the age of their customers.

I also was able to pay for it using a credit card. Usually cannabis businesses cannot take credit cards due to Federal prohibition. That's what makes me nervous but 10 minutes in and the Feds haven't come knocking yet. At least if it's a scam I can get my money back.

The sketchiest part so far is that their customer service uses some gmail address.

EDIT 2: My card was charged by packaginggod[dot]com, which looks like they sell containers for cannabis. I don't see how the companies are related.

I would be kinda leary of this place. Not a single item on sale has potency listed it's like nothing is tested at all. Not been to a disp in years but when I did everything was labeled fully.

2

BudsKind802 OP t1_j15g71r wrote

Most of the edibles I picked up listed potency for the whole package.

I noticed not just the lack of labeling but also some really big inconsistencies with their descriptions for the products. Some had something that was ripped from another review site, but most have no descriptions at all.

whaletacochamp t1_j14vadc wrote

Also how does a 1ml cartridge compare to 1g? Weird to have different units of measure.

To keep, 1g means that the cart has 1g of concentrate in it. The volume is kind of arbitrary as the amount of concentrate is what matters. But by saying 1ml what does that really mean? There’s 1ml of liquid but how much of that is concentrate?

9th State has 1 gram vapes for 66 dollars out the door (tax included), not as good as street prices but much better than anywhere I’ve seen.

MeowWhat t1_j170149 wrote

That has to be a very small market given where it is

You’d be surprised, that place isn’t doing Burlington business but it’s booming. That’s alright, it’ll be my little secret. 😉

Or how much we could have made if we did this 10 or even 5 years ago. Or if we did it right instead of half assed with a handful of stores and a messed up licensing system.

polarbearrape t1_j1578oz wrote

Or waited years to do it... Imagine how much we could have taken in in taxes if we did it when Colorado did like the people of Vermont wanted...

Yeah man its crazy like, i am incapable of eating more than one edible at a time.

I'm just one of those people with a medical condition that gives you an ultra high tolerance to edibles, and personally I would love a professionally made option that doesn't mean I have to crush an entire bag of x y or z for it to work for me, but given how it's regulated that's not gonna happen.

Like, smoking works fine, I would just love to be able to utilize the alternative now that it's legal, but given my condition I can smoke a little bit, or eat like 50 dollars worth of edibles... and friend, that fucking sucks, especially when you were excited that an alternative was coming to the market.... just uh... not for me apparently.

Is your medical condition "can't stop from complaining on the internet about the most minor inconvenience"

No my medical condition is "pointing out the irony in other people complaining about someone's complaining"

Oh god its happening again...

Irony isn't when somebody calls out a spoonie stoner's complaining

No it's when you sit here complaining as much as the people you are trying to criticize. Sorry if that's confusing for you.

You're getting hysterical, i think you should sit down and relax. Maybe take an edible.

Please stop replying to my every post. You are being very confrontational. I forgive you though as I assume you are under the influence of drugs presently.

It’s not really a minor inconvenience. As someone who regularly doses hundreds of milligrams of THC recreationally - eating that many gummies isn’t really practical.

That's literally the same thing as saying "why should you have a glass of wine or liquor when you can drink 5 bud lights instead." It's nonsensical.

Is that like single pieces? Most of the chocolate bars in Mass are made up of multiple 5mg pieces that you break off.

Lol, 5mg? The fuck am I supposed to do with 5mg?

I like the 1,000 mg bars from Cali, but the 500 mg bars from ME will suffice in a pinch.
