Why does all dispensary weed smell and taste alike? My homegrown, organic, living soil cannabis all have distinctive smells and tastes.
Chopped early , dried fast , time is money

I don’t agree. All dispo weed does not all taste alike, at least not at the dispensaries where I shop. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying carefully grown, carefully dried and carefully cured homegrown has any equal. In my opinion it does not. However, that doesn’t mean all dispo weed smells and tastes the same.
Just another stoner’s opinion. Now…
Where’s my bong…

Bulk grown, bulk recipe, bulk drying
Not all taste the same but there’s a formula they follow, they don’t adjust per plant, they adjust for max yield across the board
Sure they want good bud, but they want yield more! That’s what is the measure of units sold

Also, wet trim and rack drying! It’s very poor treatment of high quality product

Another thing is they will basically drop anything that doesn’t test high in thc% if they’re trying to stay competitive…
I found out that’s why only certain og or sour cuts get run, and the fast majority is high thc cookie crosses

So they don’t care how “bland” it is if you buy it

Probably depends on your state. Dispensaries in DC seem hit or miss till you spend big and go TOP shelf.
Same experience in NY. Maine has their shit together. Every dispo from the fancy modern ones to the hole in the wall shacks seem to have the fire son

Sure but most people aren’t gonna wanna pay top shelf prices. It’s called top shelf for a reason

Dispo not only tastes bad, different, i’ll give you, but it’s all harsh, and I have not found any after 7 years of buying more than 150 varieties that provide any kind of memorable euphoric effect. It is always harsh, burns throat, to one degree or another, and the best i have ever had provided nothing more than a midrange buzz. I have not smoked any of what I have now in more than three months because there is no point to it. I wish I knew a good home grower, but then i’d be buying illegally, wouldn’t I? They should consider making it legal someday instead of the current policy of handing the production off to their corporate cronies. I’m very disappointed. It always looks, smells great, and half the time has a good taste, but always is harsh, ALWAYS, and never, NEVER provides even an adequate high.
Prices i pay have been consistently averaging $30 to $35 an eighth for 7 years. WHich seems fair to me. However, the shit i have to throw away is costing me.

First and foremost, this largely depends on what state you’re purchasing in. Secondly, you really have to pony-up for the top tier stuff to get that true differentiation. If you’re just buying the bargain priced stuff, it’s all gonna be about the same, although you may find a gem here & there.

RookieBuds I’m not buying bargain stuff. I’m trying everything. I have no problem with paying the top price in the store. I have purchased the best and worst stuff they have from $50/8th to $10 for shake. I’ve called and had them recommend the best stuff they have, bought it and had no good results whatsoever. I’ve mostly bought flower, but i’ve tried 6 varieties of tincture, several kief varieties, several disposable vape pens, hash, cones, extracts, RSO, etc., and inhalers, which i think was $60 and I took 2 hits and have not had a hit since. It burned my throat for 15 minutes. And it says non alcohol base. I can’t recall everything I’ve tried. I will say they sell nothing in way of flowers, or kief, or hash, that is more than $50, so yes, i’ve bought their top shelf, fancy container stuff. And it’s worthless. I don’t know why I keep trying to smoke it after 7 years of smoking nightly almost. It is all schwag. And trust me if i found a “gem” i’d remember it’s name, and I’d BUY MORE!
