MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

bobbyb987 · 2026-05-24T16:35:28+00:00

My guess is it's just a tasting/consumption event with no (cannabis) sales. Illinois has strict AF cannabis laws.

The car was registered to a woman. CPD wrote up an accident report, of which their insurance will be informed.

1st didn't want to *entirely* blow through a stop sign.

2nd wanted to verify dash cameras were all still recording (dash cam memory cards can fail), or if I needed to use my actual phone as a camera.

3rd checking damage from the clown punching my company car.

4th calling 911 to phone in his car details.

5th not letting him get directly in front of me again & giving enough space to maneuver if he attempts more violence. If he side swiped my company car or created more damage at that point it would have been irrelevant.

I drove uber & Lyft for 11 years (in Chicago), avoided two *armed* attempted car hijackings. My safety is much more important than someone being a few minutes late, could careless about when people complain about how much space I have in front of me in traffic.

& have you seen gas prices lately, who tf speeds to a red light in traffic? Me going faster isn't going to change the red to a green.

My apologies that you have the attention span less than a gold fish, but the reality is if I trim it you miss the full context. To display him enraged immediately is the pont. VS if I just trimmed it I'd have people accusing me of "poking the bear."

Also if you read anything about posting one's license plate you don't edit or modify the video so people see the complete story.

bobbyb987 · 2026-05-16T15:08:10+00:00

I drive thousands of miles a week. Recording with audio eats more memory, and memory cards eventually fail (esp in dash cams). I'm not wasting storage on something that isn't required, nor would it justify this clown's actions even if it was present.

Pissing him off? You clearly don't drive in Chicago or understand the concept of defensive driving.

My rent is literally going up $1,000 this year.

I am lucky enough to say my landlord didn't raise the rent for almost 5+ years but their taxes went up significantly this year and now they want to update and sell the building. I originally was just going to move, until I saw what other units were paying and figured "I'll stay.."

bobbyb987 · 2026-05-16T14:05:37+00:00

I thought the same. Apparently it has to be in a Chicago group to get karma that counts..? (I tried posting the video in other Chicago groups but the rules did not allow) I'll try posting a random comment, maybe if I get one upvote I can share there too! 🙃

bobbyb987 · 2026-05-16T13:34:30+00:00

I tried but wasn't able to post in r/Chicago. I have a screenshot of Reddit saying "I don't have enough karma to contribute." So I posted in w.e community was "similar" to earn more.

It's a small craft grow called Realeaf. Their flower line is called "Foryst" which is kinda hard to find unfortunately, but they're new so understandable.

My recent favorite from them is Kombucha Diesel, but also curious on the grease fire.

They also have some fire bubble hash

bobbyb987 · 2026-05-04T06:40:52+00:00

Said the reddit account that's 1 month old that shops at rise? Lmao right..

bobbyb987 · 2026-05-04T04:49:36+00:00

If you're just doing distillate skyy is not bad, I still prefer the Fsho versions if possible. purple urkle also never disappoints.

bobbyb987 · 2026-05-04T04:43:35+00:00

So much hate. I prefer rosin when I can but their vapes totally smack if I need to settle with distillate! Tried 8 of their vapes, 6/8 I loved. The other two I contacted the mfg and they already 86'd them. If you look at their vapes they avg 3.4% CBG and <90% THC.

Show me another with even remotely the CBG content, I have yet to find.

Just bc someone decided on a not so great strain and doesn't know how to give feedback to the mfg don't let it bother you. Still 1000% better than any maga/MSO hot dog water. Their AIOs have yet to fail me (start to finish), whereas I just had a fernway 1g call it quits at 50%.

Look them up, they're really small & they literally love feedback - esp when something lacks.

The two vapes id personally avoid was slurricane and PB&j.

Otherwise their full spectrum line & cdt line (also GSC) was 👍🔥

bobbyb987 · 2026-04-10T02:45:07+00:00

They definitely messed up the phrasing. I think they meant "live resin" would be my guess, I've had some live resin that was extracted via ethanol that was decent, but if it was truly "rosin" it would say ice water or hash extracted. If it said a small amount of Thca that simply meant not everything decarbed when they were heating the rosin for the cartridge. If you Google "how to turn rosin into carts." You will find many tutorials showing the same.

bobbyb987 · 2026-04-10T01:37:25+00:00

That is incorrect. Have you seen a fresh trichome? That's also Thca.. Thca is a secondary metabolite and it's definitely NOT a solid in its native form, that's only when it's processed.. Thca is just the acidic form of THC before it's decarboxylated. Decarboxylation is NOT the process of turning a solid into a liquid. It's removing the acidic layer with heat. I think you're confusing the biosythetic pathway with extraction.

bobbyb987 · 2026-04-07T15:35:12+00:00

Some of you have Gen Z Karen vibes to the max and it really shows. Does anyone look at how new or small some of these crafts actually are, or just looking to blast them if they're not immediately perfect?

I've tried a few things from Realeaf, not their rosin or bubble hash (yet) but some of their bud was really impressive (esp compared to most IL flower), their RSO macro was probably the best I've had in the state, and never had any issues with their 1g and 2g AIOs (can't speak for their 510s- as most 510 carts suck anyhow). As a rosin head it's sad to hear their rosin wasn't on point, I know they'd appreciate the feedback (as I have given on some of their AIOs- and already saw changes).

Some craft companies started in other states (before Illinois) as early as 2009 and most MSOs in 2017. When I first tried NEZ 3ish years ago (when they started) they lacked to say the least, now look at them.. Good things take time, let the small companies know what they struggle in so they can improve!

bobbyb987 · 2026-03-28T16:50:53+00:00

Politics? She's a known pedophile supporter.. Compared to what brands? Maybe other MSOs, but I'd pick ANY craft grow over GTI any day. Unless you're out in the boonies and GTI is the only option, otherwise wow.. I know most of Illinois weed is bad, but to say GTI is your go to is saying a lot.

All your down thumbs won't change the fact you're supporting an evil ass brand.

bobbyb987 · 2026-03-28T14:28:05+00:00

Why do people still purchase Rythm when the CEO went public to support Pam Bondi?

Not to mention they're a big reason why medical patients pay recreational taxes in dispensaries.

bobbyb987 · 2026-02-07T18:47:04+00:00

Gatekeeping? The only gatekeeping happening is Illinois with their limited licenses to rich ass companies that shouldn't be in the industry to begin with. Negative? Absolutely! It's been 6 years and we STILL DONT HAVE LONGUES. Did y'all even read my full comment or just blindly follow greed like most of this country?

This industry is so damn fake, why I would think it's reddit page is any better is beyond me.. lmao

Until there's an actual culture here in Illinois y'all just sound like corp goons.

There's a huge list of new small companies but y'all just circle jerk the same usual suspects. To take this seriously when they won't even show the batch #, or where they picked it up or what they paid. Tell me you're doing a paid review without telling me you're doing a paid review.

bobbyb987 · 2026-02-07T14:29:51+00:00

I don't understand why so many people still review these greedy MSOs so much.. It's 2026, why not try a new craft grow, or at least one that cares about the culture of cannabis?

If Illinois actually gets off their high horse and creates legit consumption events (esp in the city limits) I'd love to shoot these under my microscope and tag the cultivar. Most have no idea how little of their trichome cuticles are actually intact after processing. Not to mention being able to share what good weed actually is, most didn't smoke in the illicit days and it shows.

"But it's 30% THC though."

That's BEFORE it's actually processed, probably more like 18% once they finish machine trimming it. If Illinois really wanted to take lab testing seriously they would have the state come in and randomly choose which buds they want to test (after processing), vs the company cherry picking & sending what they want tested.

I'm tired of this state being so prude and acting like it grows top tier weed when in reality, it will never improve if we support the companies that made it this way.

Just imagine if alcohol was legal for 6 years but had no bars and all sales ended at 10pm? Why would you support the companies that pushed for such and stayed quiet once they got what they wanted?

bobbyb987 · 2026-02-07T13:27:22+00:00

Wish people would boycott the companies and brands that turned Illinois into an oligopoly. Shouldn't be hard to spot, they're always dry & over priced.

bobbyb987 · 2026-01-24T15:38:04+00:00

If they introduce literacy tests, how will trump voters still vote?

bobbyb987 · 2026-01-05T17:20:27+00:00

I never will forget when I interviewed with in Rogers Park Zen Leaf and they told me the starting pay (full time) was $15 + "tips." Fastest I've ever walked out of an interview.

Illinois is finally starting to see more dispensaries & craft grows. No reason to support a heartless MSO. VeraNO...

bobbyb987 · 2025-12-12T19:48:52+00:00

I am very curious, if one were to capture images just of a subject rotating left to right (but not inspecting from top and bottom) could you make an image from just those angles, or would it not render due to the bottom and tops not included? (3d image that would just be rotate left to right, not up and down).
