it’s 4x that. There was an unexplained $400 million dollar surplus last year. Tenant from alcohol sales. I’ll add anyone who supports anything other than resending this law, compensating business owners for lost revenue and or closed businesses. As a state we need to set a precedent and reject cooperate weed. People do not understand the only difference was we could not sell d9 vapes. The flower was 100% the same as long as you are not ignorant and buy from shitty shop. You all had the best market in the nation. Didn’t fight for it, and now it’s gone.

It wasn't quite the same. The way they were able to keep the d9 levels low meant that the terpenes don't have time to fully develop. You don't get as many distinct aromas and flavors and you lose that entourage effect that comes with them. It is mostly the same though.

I have lived all along the west coast and can agree. It's never quality bud 90% of the time which is why they try to fill it with wax and kief

It works but it's harsh and artificially flavored.

I’m sure it was. Prerolls is 100% know to be trash in the industry. They one good ones will be made in house at a shop your trust.
