The Sticky Icky
jk that stuff ~~does not exist anymore~~ is rare now. Just this dessicated prepackaged nonsense.
When we were youths, I read the Beatles had a code phrase, something like let's have a laugh(?). Then, a friend and I were laughing a little too much when we saw Joe Walsh's record titled Got Any Gum? That became our code phrase.
Lies! You just need to grow it yourself or make friends with a grower. I live in a legal state and have two great dispensaries in my town, but I still frequent a few local growers more often since it's cheaper and better!
I live in California, am nearly 60. We have hundreds in our cities. You have to use weedmap to make sense of it. We also have major cartel violence issues that have tainted the underground scene. The industrialization of weed has brought us this garbage. It is true, I have visited old friends up in the Bay Area not too long ago, and the real stuff can still be acquired but it is no longer common or easy to acquire. The idea of local growers is really great. It should be a farmer's market commodity. That would be brilliant. But, no, some time back, legal dispensaries in California were forced to package everything. Prior to that, when they were initially launched, they'd weigh out the fresh stuff in front of you and put it in a container that didn't make you want to wring their necks. The packaging alone is an atrocity against the environment.
