    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    I love JB. I never thought Illinois would legalize, and he got it done. I don't think the prices are that out of line. Sure, it is expensive but it is legal. You don't have to grow and fear getting busted. JB is a good governor. Far better than some we have had. He has been on top of the...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Illinois update: Just made a trip to the dispensary. We have a new recreational only store here in central Illinois. It is big too. No crowd really. Now they are running weekly specials. Prices seem to have stabilized or have come down. Looks like a long strange trip here in Illinois from...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    The supply in Illinois seems to be ok now. There is plenty of flower, and sometimes they run "specials" were they drop the price a bit. Still about $60 for an eighth. But you do see some 1/2 oz for $160 or so. I got some hybrid branded nature's grace and the THC was about 23. It is one toke...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Flower is starting to show up. $65 for an eighth seems to be the price, plus tax. Not bad weed, you don't need much beyond a few tokes. Edibles are very good. Things are starting to smooth out. I am sure prices will drop as we go.

    Come on Dudes ,Show your age.The first Cannabis you Smoked

    Wow, it was the 70's. I used to smoke with friends out of home made pipes. But the thing I remember most was "Revenge of the Jedi" in 1978. I smoked up in the parking lot and went in to see the movie. I got a coke and popcorn, and was about a quarter of the way in the movie when I realized I...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Back from the dispensary. There is some flower, but you have to jump on it when it is available. I got Cresendo an eighth for $49. I was still smoking my homegrown so I have not tried it yet. My homegrown was killer, so I don't know what to expect from dispensary weed. I got some gummies...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    You can look at the menus online here in Illinois. Finally getting some flower, but very limited. $60 an eighth for even the bottom level bud. Corona virus making things difficult to pick up too. You have to order online and pick up in a time "window" and that is if you are lucky! Very...

    Illinois update. Stay at home order begins tomorrow at 5. Went to the dispensary today. One, no recreational sales. The other, a line so long I gave up and left. I have a stash so I'm going with that. Stay safe, everyone!

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Illinois update. Just back from the dispensary. Prices high, NO flower to be had. No real concentrates either. Just topicals and edibles. Some vape products. I think once since the first of the year there was a day where there was some limited flower. Today there was a line, people...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    I've been to both of our local dispensaries, and customers are shown stock on an ipad at one, on a printed menu on another. No seeing or smelling the product. You pick it out, they put it in a bag and you walk out. Cash only, of course.

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Still no flower really in Illinois where I am. The local dispensary has an online menu, and flower showed up for about a day. Just one type, and sold by the gram for $20 before tax. It was sold out in a very short amount of time. I saw it on the menu, and was about to drive over when it...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Not much new in Illinois where I am. We have two dispensaries, and one is SOLD OUT. They expect supply on Friday. The other has a very limited selection. Mostly edibles with some topical. The flower thing is a total bust. There is none. Even at $65 an eighth, there is nothing to buy...

    New to edibles. Questions.

    I went to the dispensary here in Illinois and bought some edibles, 2 chocolate bars. I had no idea about the dosage. The one I opened had 100mg, cut into 4 candy squares of 25mg each. I broke one of those in half, so about 12.5 mg. Then I broke off part of that. First time was probably 4...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Back from the dispensary. Bought two kinds of edibles. Cost was $30 and $25, $11 tax total of $66. NO FLOWER available. They said two weeks, maybe. Then erratic supply. Very limited selection of everything. Line outside, 2 cops. Get inside, another line and show your ID. Then wait more...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Weed is legal in Illinois, but there is none to buy. I live downstate, and the two dispensaries locally have NO flower. I mean none. They have concentrates and edibles but that is about it. So even at outrageous prices Like $65 or $70 an eighth, you can't buy it anyway. Very disappointing...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    I live alone, work all day, so I was always worried about discovery. Would I come home to the cops at the door? The last time I grew in the unheated garage. So Spring and Fall were the best bets temperature wise, winter was out of the question. But even still the lights, the fans, and the...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Yeah, I'm expecting a huge rush tomorrow. People have the day off, and will stand in line even in the cold. It will be nuts. But that is Wednesday. I'm off all week, so I am planning on maybe going Friday mid day. That way most people will be working, and maybe the newness will be worn off...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    It is going to be strange walking into a dispensary. I looked on the local dispenasry website and the prices look like about $60 for 3.5 grams. And that's medical! So I would guess even more for recreational. Shocking, but not unexpected. I have not gone to a "dealer" in years and years. I...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    I'm expecting all hell to break loose on Jan 1. I am sure there will be huge lines, and dispensaries will run out of product. Sky high prices too. At the rate I am going, I will be out shortly after New Years. I plan on going to the local dispensary an maybe buying a small amount at a huge...

    Illinois legalization Jan 1st 2020!!!

    Dispensary questions. In Illinois in a few days you can go buy weed legally. But I have never been in a dispensary in my life. They say bring your drivers license and cash. But what to buy? I know about bud, but what do people recommend for edibles and infused stuff? I don't even know how...
