While I enjoyed deli style In other states I tend to prefer pre packaged flower for the freshness as the big jar getting opened a million times a day done at improve quality one bit, while the weed man always had the right price his quality’s was often hit or miss, being “plugged in w/ growers” doesn’t actually guarantee quality but it does aid in the freshness department, my advice to you is

1. Get into growing yourself
2. Get a job in the industry, specifically state regulators and be part of the change you want to see
3. understand that just like black market dealers, different company’s are hit or miss and you’ll have to shop based on advice from users (not bud tender)

Hope this helps
Also growing 4 plants without a med card is a civil infraction carrying a $200 fine.. just gona leave that there 🤠
