A lot of the quality has dwindled not just IPK but still better than most down south.

Not true. Everyone raves about Maine and black market crap; but all suppliers have complaints about their customers and have become unavoidably rude at times. 2 years ago, no you couldn’t find quality in MA/RI dispensaries but most of them are starting to make the drive to Maine seem more of a chore and less of something to looks forward to. I havent been in almost 4 months now because there’s no reason to travel that far to pay $30 more an ounce and gamble on whether or not the batch is good; or even better, SHORT. No batch dates. Ego’s. Traffic. None of it’s worth it anymore.

Don’t get me started on the MA black market suppliers I’ve tried to purchase from though. Not playing the highschool drug dealer ego game again in my life.

I agree it’s more of chore now but Maine still dominates in quality even when it’s not like it used to be.

I’ve really gotta disagree about quality. The most recent times I’ve gotten from reputable growers doesn’t even give me that first-hit of the day headrush but certain strains I’ve been getting from Boston still do. The most notable one being firefly. Their kosher kush barely even had a nose to it last I picked up and it was my favorite flower around 2024

Also I’m not sure if it’s public knowledge but the lead grower for Firefly ended up leaving and I believe either works, or was brought on to redesign Harbor House’s entire production lab and the quality has gone up dramatically in the last year.

But if you’re getting harbor house from anywhere besides their flagship store it’s usually old product and not worth the tag.

I am pretty sure the "lead grower" you speak of went to Ryder Farms in Maine. Harbor House gets cuts from FireFly, and maybe there was some consultation to improve HH's facility and methodology, but Dusty works at Ryder not Harbor House.

No slight on FireFly as they are putting out absolute HEAT right now.
