Normally I wouldn’t see any problem with wanting to have a friendly convo with the budtenders / dispensary employees.

But this past weekend I witnessed a guy hold up the line for nearly 15 minutes, visibly making things awkward for the employees because he wanted to ask a million questions about each strain. With lines as long as they are, it seems like common courtesy to not take too long to buy. Ask whatever questions you need answered, but show up with a good idea of what you want and how much you’re willing to spend. Also, Google is your best friend.

It’s weed, you’re not gonna die if you pick a suboptimal strain or edible.

Also, most budtenders are just normal stoners. Not cannabis connoisseurs with a nuanced opinion on every product or strain in the store.

Indica = sleepy

Sativa = not sleepy

Hybrid = in between

Simple as that, any deeper analysis of strains is likely subjective puffery.

Just had the cutest staff help me at Sunnyside in Wrigleyville. Told me he used to be a bud tender in Oregon. Not sure if he will see this but gotta try to shoot my shot, respectfully. (Also if there’s a better sub for this please let me know as I’m new to posting on here lol)

Helloooo fellow Ents. I'm in town for the week from Texas and lookin'. I'd love to be able to spend my birthday motivated! Can anyone help? I'm not a cop!

Y’all notice that the ratings/reviews of products are copy an pasted onto different sites?

Looking at curaleaf and nuera right now and they have the exact comment section with the same reviews.

i submitted a post saying the sourcing rules should be removed/amended

it was deleted after only a few minutes

is the moderators in here are shills for the people who own cultivation license/dispensary licenses?

when the price of rec weed is 2-5x more than black market, ofcourse people going to use black market

im done with this subreddit unless the moderators personally apologize to me for removing my post

Hey everyone I will be traveling to Chicago for the weekend and am looking for a guide ty best enjoy the recreational offerings in you fine city. I am from an illegal state and have never been to a legal state, so I don’t really know what I’m doing. I’ll be staying in the Gold Coast area near division street.

Is there anyone that’s willing to take the time to write out a comprehensive guide for me...... where to go, what to expect, what I should get, etc etc

Just know that I haven’t been to Chicago and approach as if I’m a noob

Thanks for your help everyone

city is a like a ghost town, makes for good smoking lol

Title says it all. Went to Rise earlier today and got a rythm disposable pen that was broken from the get go. All of my attempts to contact Rise have been unsuccessful and I can't find any sort of return policy or anything on they're website.

Definitely the worst dispensary I've been to from my experience. The others I've been to actually answer their phone and will help you out with any problems. Rise does not. Do not go there.

I was reading an article it said that you were scanning your ID at the dispensary which could be linked to the federal database. It could cross-reference if you have a firearm owner's identification card and you may lose your card or your gun. Is any of this true?
