Yeah good question. How the nugs look matters too. Govt weed is usually popcorn nugs not colas.

I agree about the popcorn nugs, another reason I chose to just share the ground herb up pictures. The trim job made it obvious, and at 3 times the price I would expect that level of etiquette in the trimming.

This is how the dispensary bud comes, on the right in the original photo Chocolate Fondue.

In all fairness the quality was comparable but the cost was nearly 3x on the legal stuff. I don't want to throw the dispensaries under the bus, but the prices are atrocious in my eyes. Overall id still say best bang for the buck is the black market, there's really no significant difference when smoking, but the ash was noticeably darker on the dispensary bud indicating potential for more non organic fertilizing.

The price gouging is awful. I can definitely see why the black market will keep booming for a while.

Keep tokin! :D
