To me, the legal market is looking amazing these days. If you go to the right dispensaries and buy from the right growers/processors, quality and price are very reasonable. I don't find availability to be an issue; there's about 3 dispensaries I prefer to go to, out of maybe 40 I could go to within a half hour drive.
As an example, today I got this rosin gram for $30, and a half oz of Sherb Cream Pie flower for $75. In my recent experience, quality concentrates can range from $30-$60 a gram, and quality flower can range from $50-100 a half oz.
Huh, now that you mention it, the math doesn't seem to really add up lol. I assumed the "total" number was THC + all cannibinoids, maybe they're measuring others not listed. I'm assuming the rest of the composition (the final 16.8% beyond 83.2% total cannibinoids) is plant byproduct like waxes, maybe flavonoids.
But yeah, I'm generally staring at that terpene chart for my own purchase decisions!
I dab (vaporize) it on what's called a "terp slurper." Here's a previous post of mine that shows the piece on the right: https://lemmy.world/post/913935
Dabbing concentrates is about heat control and retention. There are less cumbersome options, like Puffco's line of products.
Looks great too! One of my smoke buddies is from MI (a long time ago) so we're always watching for strains from there. We had one recently called Platinum Michigan that was fantastic. Didn't Obama Kush also originate from a MI breeder?
That’s a great question. According to Weedmaps, it does look like Obama Kush may have originated in MI:
“Obama Kush, like many strains, has mysterious origins. Online sources think Michigan’s Superior Genetics may have crossed a Skunk hybrid mother plant with an Afghani x OG Kush dad to get Obama Kush.”
I wish there was a book or resource that better outlined geographic origins of strains. I know of the Pure Michigan, Yooper Cookies, Paul Bunyan (which is a cross of the last 2)
Runtz came from LA but Michigan folks go crazy for it.
