Tell us about a time when you first became more aware of your own cannabis consumption! Are you utilizing the plants, or are the plants using you!? Having just read @michael.pollan's book Caffeine, it really brings Conscious Cannabis consumption to mind - He was saying are we utilizing Caffeine or are the plant's using us!? How do you feel on that balance 50/50? 60/40? Let us know where you are at and what are you plans! #readytofeeltheburn #nonobviousdisability #nonobviousability #michaelpollan #caffeine

Pricing in cannabis is kinda wild. You can spend $30 on 1oz of flower. You can also spend $250 on 1 oz. The difference comes down to perceived quality. That also applies to concentrates. 1g concentrates are $8-$65. Rosin is considered the highest tier of concentrate quality, so it's usually ~$30-60/g. There are minimal discounts on bulk buying rosin. Customers want the best quality so you typically see buying just 1-3g at a time. ... Why am I sharing the above info? Because it still shocks me to see how a customer can be so happy and content with the decision to spend $300 on 5g of concentrates when the customer next to them is spending $40. Consumers will pay a lot for top shelf. Eastside Alchemy survives as a company because of that. What's the most expensive/cheapest you've ever paid for an ounce of weed?

🌿 Roll It Up: A Quick Guide to Crafting the Perfect Joint! 🚬✨ Step 1: Gather Your Materials 🌱 Start by gathering your essentials: rolling papers, cannabis flower, and optionally, a grinder for an even burn. Step 2: Grind Your Cannabis 🔥 Use a grinder to break down your cannabis into a fine consistency, ensuring a smooth smoke. Step 3: Fill the Paper with Cannabis 🍃 Spread the ground cannabis evenly along the length of the rolling paper, leaving room at the end to shape into a cone. Step 4: Shape Into a Cone 🌪️ With your fingertips, shape the paper into a cone, ensuring an even distribution of cannabis throughout. Step 5: Roll It Up and Light It Up 🌬️ Roll the paper back and forth, tucking the cannabis inside and sealing it with a lick. Light the end and inhale slowly for a satisfying smoke. Step 6: Enjoy! 🎉 Sit back, relax, and enjoy your perfectly rolled joint. Here's to good vibes and smooth tokes! 🌟🔥 While there's something uniquely satisfying about smoking a joint, remember that vaporizing offers a less harmful alternative. Vapes not only reduce toxin intake by avoiding combustion but also preserve more flavor and can be more efficient in the use of your herb. Why not give it a try and taste the difference? 🌬️💨 #RiteInnovations #RollItUp #PerfectJoint #ElevateYourExperience

Unpopular opinion: most cannabis people don't want to drink their weed. I've been hearing the Bev hype since I've been in the industry, but the numbers never support a large market size. Perhaps that's changed with access at places like Total Wine? Anyone have that market data? In particular, repeat customers? Or is it primarily a one time novelty purchase? Two things in particular that I just don't see THC bevs surmounting: 1) They're always pitched as an alcohol replacement or alternative. Some people may be extroverted social stoners, but in my anecdotal experiences most people aren't bar hopping after getting high. It tends to be a more introverted crowd. 2) Why drink weed at all, when you could nibble on a $2 gummy or chocolate and drink water with your alcohol imbibing friends - rather than paying the cost upscale? If it was physically possible, as an alcohol consumer I can say I would absolutely do the reverse.

What is 2024 going to look like in the Massachusetts cannabis industry? We've been so busy getting our Talking Joints Memo year-end lists together that I haven't thought too much about the future. But maybe you have?!? From product trends to the political horizon, I want to hear it. I will be emailing some of you individually, but instead of also creating a form or survey I figured it may be easiest to just ask right here. People ignore emails all day but they'll write books on social media between meetings. I can't promise that we will use everything, but I'd love to incorporate a whole bunch of your predictions and ideas. The more specific, the better, and shameless plugs are fine as long as they are tied to earnest insights. Also feel free to message or email me at [email protected]. Here's an example ... Specialty Shops - Similar to how beer or wine aficionados may prefer a smaller boutique wine store or brewery experience as opposed to an enormous liquor barn, fans of particular cannabis categories are increasingly searching for more variety in their favorite lane. As dispensaries look to distinguish themselves, expect more stores to focus on a niche like Native Sun has done with its infused drink selection or Blue River does with solventless science.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room: the cannabis industry is filled with hype and BS. We've all heard of top-shelf strains that taste like ass, yet somehow win awards for flavor. 🤔 And don't even get me started on the "judges" for these shows and events. It's all about the money, not the quality of the product or the people behind it. As a cannabis enthusiast, it's frustrating to see so many uninspired options flooding the market. But fear not, there are still a few above top-shelf options out there. Don't fall for the hype and do your research before buying. Let's demand better from the industry and support those who truly care about the plant and its consumers. 💚🌿
