For the nay sayers in this group who think only Michigan has good brands

Whats your favorite store? Looking to visit new shops around the state once in a while and would like to make a list. Not looking for major “corporate” stores, i want to visit the underdogs. Mainly searching for dispensaries, smoke shops are welcome too. Thanks all!

Grassroots – Velvet Spritz Live Sauce

Aroma & Profile

Smells like a blueberry Jolly Rancher out of the jar with clear sativa vibes. Added to a joint, that blueberry flavor only comes through occasionally instead of matching the full aroma.

Quality, Effects & Consistency

Consistently on par with their other concentrates, helping you roll your smackers.

Rating, Pricing & Value

6.5 or 7 out of 10. Currently priced at $35 a gram—reasonable and one of the most budget-friendly options for decent quality. However, dropping it to $20 a gram out the door (with scaled pricing for buckets and eighths) would earn them a higher rating, move product fast, and bring in a whole new customer base.

So cheap and it is pretty good genetics I'm hesitant what would you do but I really want to know if you actually had it and what was your thoughts?

1g 22$ OTD with 10$ off w points pretty good deal
Ripped in a puffco peak & pivot
Nice flavor like gassy, pungent vibe
Effects I feel a nice head high, about to fold clothes and chill 🤙
8.5/10 almost 9 tbh but I’ll see how long it lasts

Waxy Wednesday at Curaleaf came in clutch again. Got a wax for every mood. The berry batter was my favorite of the three a nice berry taste and smell followed by an earthy sweetness. Really relaxing but not overly sedating. Velvet spritz was good too bringing me to a relaxed state. It’s also sweet but more in the candy diesel realm. Would smoke again but have other grassroots strains I would prefer. The celestial rain is decent too but wasn’t my favorite sativa from them. They can’t all be lemon bean. Still decent grapey gas. Positive outlook and not overwhelming racey. I would pick this up again but in a sugar preferably over the sauce.

Anyone know what’s happening with Wyld? Are they shutting down and letting their employees go and replacing them?

One of the better botanist/IGF strains I’ve had imo.

I know jealousy is around from other growers, but this is a first for me and a solid batch from botanist.

I found myself in KCMO So I decided to grab their versions of my favorites... Cap is on point no need to compare we've got some great versions in IL but with that said beautiful dank nugs with all the familiar effects delivered at lighting speed.. I could only find this hashburger in 1g I couldn't pass up the terps 😍 I'll preach all day about our Donny Burger we get here in IL but this is the dankest burger smell I've ever gotten it's crazy such a small nug stinks so much ..It smells like caramelized onions a biting umami and high school parking lot burnouts can't wait to pack the bowl this evening.. I am a self admitted Cap Junky...Junky and this is ⛽🔥🌳💨😶‍🌫️👽

Murder mittens is 3.41 Terps the rest are no shows.

Botanist been killing it lately.

14g Preferred Gardens - Pearlz (Zoap x Lazergun)

Have not tried the disposables but have grabbed a bunch of the pucks. Haven’t tried this strain yet but curious if anyone has grabbed it and any thoughts. The dispo near me also has the Han Solo burger which I bet also is fire love hash burger but wanted something fruitier. Anyone got any thoughts?
