As the United States inches closer to a fully recreational state, Id think we are 10-15 years from that being a reality, one must still pump the gas, and fill up, in order to enjoy the liberty of guilt free weed. We have option living in Kentucky, these options are sure to increase once Ohio opens their 1st recreational location.
The choices come down to your personal preference, including the time you feel like spending on the road. Illinois is expensive as hell, and the wife & I have been bamboozled with people demanding we spend our hard earned greenbacks in Michigan. "It's Cheaper", "it's the same quality", "dude they got $30 ounces."
We decided enough was enough, we need to see for ourselves. My wife is a pre roll enthusiast, I am a syrup enthusiast. The difference in saving, prices, quantity, comparing Illinois & Michigan, is truly night & day. I truly want to see Kentucky adopt the Michigan Cannabis traits, laws, etc. I say this to say, each time we do these road trips its the same o'l spiel with a twist; get the hotel, hit the dispensary, hot box & photo ops, and back home. The twist is, we never want to blow money like that again, we didn't expect taxes to literally double the price. The twist in each visit, and we have went to Illinois twice now, is we will specifically shop for a certain form of cannabis. The 1st time, we wild out on flower and the wife got that in pre rolls, and the second time we also made a special stop to get some RSO, this time we are wanting to experience the following:
- How good is the cheap weed
- What will the lower taxes feel like
- can we take pictures?
- can we get you on the Podcast?
The Let's Match Let's Talk About It Podcast can connect budtenders, cannabis events, across this beautiful green country of ours. We aim to let each budtender we meet know they are welcome to the show. The Vibe's in Michigan where nothing but love, midwest hospitality, and crazy ass drivers.
Let me take yaw to HIGHWIRE, this was our first stop. They had a viewing room where you could get a nice close up of beautiful tricombs on the cultivars that where there for you to purchase. As we entered the staff greeted us with smiles, the aroma of love and Mary Jane wafted the air, and the atmosphere was folksy. It was time to check something off the list, and they had a half ounce of shake for $25.00. I've been afraid of shake, I tell myself, they just sweep up the barn and toss that in the bag. Of course I till this day had never personally seen this to be true, just something I told myself, who really buys shake?
THIS GUIY!! I bought the Blue Berry Muffin shake. The aroma was true to her name. The shake was completely free of stems, there where a few nice buds that fell out the bag when we opened it. There where a total of 4 seeds that I decided to keep as a souvenir. I have the blueberry muffin seeds to something a traveled to meet, so cool. The high was a shock. I felt the Indica traits creep in. This was a creeper. I enjoyed the free pre roll as well, compliments of being a first time customer.
Thank you Cold Water Michigan HIGHWIRE for a chill experience, and the variety, as well as the opportunity to take some pictures.
