left one is dead...the right one has more crystals
Agreed. Black Market is more organic AND danker at the same time.
funny enough the left is organic and black market. I am not sure what methods were used by Tweed to grow the herb on the right. Its a very hard call when smoking it to decide which is actually better.
This is the Super Lemon Haze on the Left which is not from a dispensary.

On the right in the original photo Chocolate Fondue. This is from the dispensary.
We're gonna say on the right. We zoomed in and see more crystals. We hope we're right, but looks aren't everything, haha, we'd need to sniff it first and see it ash.
I had 3 photos I was going to upload with different exposures and angles but I wanted to keep this simple. Good observation.
Left, Super Lemon Haze. (Black Market)
Black market has healthy looking ash.
Agreed.
Right, Chocolate Fondue (Legal)
did it come pre-ground like the photo?
nope
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.
Which was better? :D
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

Congrats!
Neither it was all black market bud. Because there is no dispensary bud available in Canada. :D
lol
Congrats on the new badges! Monsieur populaire. 😋
I am a try hard with anything crypto. My friend @darkflame got me into Steemit after I nearly had forgotten its existence from 2016-2017, but thanks to him I started to see the potential this site really has when you apply yourself.
It's funny you say this.
We are doing the same thing and it's actually the opposite. The harder we work on a post the less of a response we get from the Steemit community. So if it were just a quick photo post with a question. That may illicit more of a response then a longer worded multi media post. And our community engagement and growth in followers has slowed to a crawl.
bottom line, it's great, but we don't have a system yet. Youtube we are doing really well, Steemit and our blog... Not so much.
User engagement is basically the entire point of what I've been doing lately if I can't find people who want to engage in online social activity than this website's going to be a drag.
