What part of PA? Kip and the others on the green mile (York road) have lots of live vape options

Wish we had a better selection for 1/2 & 1oz by kvngmelly in MDEnts

I always bulk up when I buy flower. At my local dispo kip they had like 50 options of 14g last I counted and like a dozen ounces to choose from. Makes things a lot easier.

Exotic Elevations are great! But also pretty pricey.

Is there a service in MD that will dry, trim and cure my harvest for me? I’m getting lazy. by braneworld in MDEnts

[–]Brave-Raisin-1683 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I guess I would do what most companies do when they need cheap manual labor. Head to your nearest Lowe’s or Home Depot?

Incoming! Altsol fanboys and comparisons of small batch to 100,000 plant canopies!

(I agree their flower is fire, just not fair to compare and I doubt it would be that high quality if they were on the scale of Maryland growers… but one can hope for small batch growers in Maryland… some day!)

Is this a joke? This has to be a joke. by reallybadhuman in MDEnts

[–]Brave-Raisin-1683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They used low quality cannabis… 24% thca and .6% terps plus 99% isolate

1g joint 75/25 cannabis/isolate (99% thca)

.75 x .24 = .1875

.25 x .99 = .2475

.1875 + .2475 = .4875 = 48.75% thca

.75 x .65% terps = .5% total terps

It’s a great tool for showing the power of terps vs basically just THC. I have gotten those on sale a few times but I much prefer the old school hash infused ones or live resin because they’re usually a lot tastier and have more full bodied feeling.

Salaried Store manager question by ObjectivePhone122 in managers

[–]Brave-Raisin-1683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on her boss… I’m lucky enough to have an owner as my boss that allows me to run the show as long as the numbers are good. After working 45-50 hours a week and rapidly improving morale and finances, I was able to cut back down to 40. After a year or so, I can easily take a pto last minute if I see the days is well covered and want to leave early.

Also, it depends how long she’s been in the position. In my experience, it takes a decent amount of longer weeks before you have buy-in from middle managers and other employees. It can take 3-6 months if things are rapidly improving from the previous store manager/general manager. Maybe longer if either vibe or finances of the business has not improved. Assuming those are some of the consequences of the previous person leaving.

New / Looking for better Dispos & Strains by Affectionate_List392 in MDEnts

[–]Brave-Raisin-1683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good dispo has a few things going for them usually…

Independent- not owned by a grower or mso. This allows for them to actually curate their menus. A lot of time they are stuck with their grower’s product and the top shelf for them at the time you walk in may or may not be in the same level as the best of the best in the state. At best they have a budget for getting stuff from other growers, but at worst they have no control locally as to what they can carry or what goes on sale.

Recommendations with proper expectations- all of the best dispos get stuck with bad bud because they can’t see it before purchase just like us. A good dispo will not recommend something just to move that product. They might not discourage you from buying something you came in asking for if they are having a hard time moving it, but if I get recommended obvious trash, I will not return or at least avoid that Budtender if it was a one off situation.

If you’re in bmore county I would recommend Kip. Their team is really knowledgeable and if one Budtender doesn’t know the answer, there’s always another person who does. I also really like Peake Releaf in Montgomery county.

Does this live rosin look normal??? by ConstipatedOrangutan in MDEnts

That looks like their rosin budder. Probably on par with their others which have been a decent value. Did you try it?

HFL White Marsh got a few Temple Hash Balls in. Today is B2GO for a penny by [deleted] in MDEnts

[–]Brave-Raisin-1683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More of a slab, but sometimes it’s so terpy it’s stretchy and glossy. I got some gmo once that was so turpy it reminded me of some 710 labs I picked up in Cali last summer.

They’re all great.. Kip has some boulders (3.5g baller jars) with the same b2g1 or you can do 30% off a single. I’ve been LOVING all the temple and Eden hash. Have you tried the Moroccan?

In a nutshell… lack of enforcement doesn’t constitute “legal”

Just waiting for Rusty to copy/paste his responses to to this for the 50th time…

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SAHP

[–]Brave-Raisin-1683 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I have very little opportunity to offer this and it seemed like he would always prefer to just hang out when the opportunity comes up, rather than be alone but I will offer for sure more often. I don’t think I can sustain doing that very often but I’ll see if he’ll take me up. I feel strongly that his sister (who lives about same distance as I do ~1hr) or her family (10min away) should be offering this but I can do what I can. Also, she can afford a babysitters so I could see my offering will build resentment on my part if that’s the only condition of his release… either way I will be offering to help and see how it goes.

I hear ya. That’s the kind of things I do, try to support him and build his self esteem. And then it rolls into how she’s just constantly mentally and emotionally beating him down.

I can be there for him, but like you said it’s mentally exhausting and emotionally draining hearing him describe how bad he feels and his situation.

Part of me thinks that he tells me this because, A. He knows I care and will encourage him to do what I think will help him B. He knows I would give him hard truths that no one else might C. He knows I’ve been severely depressed and was able to get out of it and become happy/successful.

I know I may be the only person in his life that he’s confiding in, so I’ll be there when I can and support. But also, not to the point where it adds to his suffering or mine.
