My two cents, I’m a medical patient here in the recreational state of Illinois. The freedom to smoke up almost anywhere is nice, even if it’s not technically legal. Quality? That’s hard to say… the dispensary has some nice equipment that I never could own to make concentrates and edibles. Flower? Mine is say 4/5 stars while theirs is 3/5. Best I ever found in the street is 3/5 maybe a 4 if I was really liking the strain… what am I saying here? I don’t think quality takes a big hit unless you’re a high-end consumer.
But what do I know? I’m young, dumb, and roll mids for life.
