What I mean is that the only way for these stores to differentiate themselves is by the quality of the staff.
Because there is no cost difference between any products, there doesn't seem to be any collaborations or anything that make it more likely you would go to one store versus another, and that strain stars looks identical to this store.
Like if Planet Nugg was the "official home of Nanticoke" or something in Long Island, someone who loves Nanticoke would exclusively shop there. I bet this is illegal in New York markets.
As a Long Islander who is a Nanticoke Fan as you described, I have to say my jealousy for the dispensary in New Paltz upstate which has all Nanticoke in all quantities is immense. LI Market is just messed up.
theres sometimes a difference in what strains are stocked up. theres a brand i can only get from Strain Stars (Revert) & there's another brand i can only get from Happy Days (ithaca organics). Though they do mostly have the same inventory, generally with the same prices. (I have seen things occasionally be more expensive at Strain Stars than Happy Days & vice versa, however)
So like that whole thing exists but its just so minor that it doesnt impact most people's buying habits
theyre my favorite!! i love their Wedding Cake & Cat Piss lol. Sundae Driver was good too but i was unhappy about finding seeds in it when i got it last...
hating the wedding cake. Buds were tiny and full of stems.
Livwell has big frosty nugs in their Ounces at Happy days, $150 per ounce too. check em out, you will never go back to Revert
Wtf do they all look like this?
It just has the vibe that you are about to get over charged for some mid range bullshit, with a rare winner at about the same odds as a scratch off lottery ticket...
They should make one that looks like an old school seedy basement, like us old timers had to experience before legalization.... Ya know, like how the Simpsons predicted it, LOL
Hey at least the guy in the basement would show you the stuff and even smoke some with you if you two were cool...
Now they show you see the best nug in the bag in tiny jar all dried and sniffed to shit and are supposed to try to judge something by that if you actually take you time looking at stuff and aren't just hurried along a conveyor belt. Plus do you know how many people handle those jars and jam them half up their beaks??
I've 100% had people complain about the stuff on display not being anything like the stuff in the bag/jar, so there is either bait and switch going on or they are "upgrading" the display nugs with terps/kief.
everywhere that opted out is absolutely pathetic & stupid. so much tax revenue they could get, but nooooo instead we have the local government clinging to the old stigma
Let me correct myself: 80 percent opted out, 15 percent opted in but are controlled by politicians/assholes who will do anything and everything to prevent “weed being sold in my town”.
Not really much choice since most of the towns said no to rec shops. Riverhead and Southampton are both allowed to have shops I believe, but I haven't read about any openings. There are also a few shops around Queens.
Proof is no other stores being open. Look with your own eyes where are they in Brookhaven and Riverhead? They find BS zoning reasons or there is a church , school or any other bullshit. You don't think anyone has tried?
I really don’t know what anyone has done. Licenses were issued to many. They can set up shop and open. Have you heard of anyone specifically being denied? It also costs a ton of money to start a dispensary or any brick and mortar for that matter.
Another place to purchase that same $55 eighth…splendid
It is weird that there is basically no competition outside of the staffing. It's a seller's market, I guess.
What do you mean by outside of the staffing ?

Oh well that is good to know
you like the Revert? I got the half ounce of 2 different strains a few months ago and hated it
theyre my favorite!! i love their Wedding Cake & Cat Piss lol. Sundae Driver was good too but i was unhappy about finding seeds in it when i got it last...

Can confirm livwell got some fire. Hoping they get some apple fritter back.

my favorite is when the display buds get so old that they turn white from the constant direct light

The last thing your debit card/cash sees before getting custied
3 dispos in farmingdale but nowhere else. Pretty pathetic.
What do you expect when 100 percent of Nassau and 97 percent of Suffolk opted out of legal cannabis sales?
everywhere that opted out is absolutely pathetic & stupid. so much tax revenue they could get, but nooooo instead we have the local government clinging to the old stigma
Boomers gonna boomer

Would be pointless when there’s 20 on the Rez
[удалено]
Yup
I don’t and know many others who don’t.
What’s the reasoning?
Where is this?
Looks like Farmingdale.
…no way they opening another out there

yeah but the town of bab got mad other places instead of farmingdale 😭😭
Strain Stars 2.0
Why do all these places look like shitty bootleg cell phone stores?
Maybe it's a NYS requirement lol
Wonder why nothing has opened in the town of Brookhaven yet. I know that the town oked it..
My parents live around one that is pending in Yaphank so there might be one there soon I hope
They will not approve any sites for various bullshit reasons. If there isn't an operating store they shouldn't get any tax $$.
You have any proof of that? You don’t need to be approved by a town agency to open any kind of shop or business.
Proof is no other stores being open. Look with your own eyes where are they in Brookhaven and Riverhead? They find BS zoning reasons or there is a church , school or any other bullshit. You don't think anyone has tried?

This is why the delivery service is just so much better
