For anyone interested in medical cannabis reviews in Florida!

Me too....but...I bought 4 eighths, 1 was light by .2 and 1 was light by 1.2 grams....that is too much...

Went to Muv last month and received an empty eighth jar, it wasn't stolen by an employee, as it was totally clean inside..unused...

Holy shit man, that is ROUGH. I am sorry to hear that.
What a pain. I don't weigh, but sometimes they look short. Maybe I should start again...

I do crack every container open before I leave the parking lot.

How messed up for the people who don't have a scale and don't know any better.
I'm sure there's so much that slips through the cracks.

Where's the old 5gram containers we used to get back in the day by accident.

Hopefully they make it right, maybe a freebie, and hopefully the bud is at least dank.

Take a few grams from it before you return it

it was totally clean inside..unused...

"Hey all, new store policy. Shake the container, just to make sure at least SOMETHING is in there."

Went to sunburn today to try their new Motorbreath #15, as I've been seeing that strain at a lot of dispensaries.
$27 after discount.

Figure if it's "new", it should be a fresh batch.

29% thc, 3.28% terp, with Beta-Myrcene and Limonene leading, followed closely by E-caryophyllene and some Ocimene.

Smells very gassy, very strong. Cracking the container could stink up a house.
Taste comes through great, persistent through the sesh, and vapes all around very well.

Very pleased with this one, and what I hope for from Sunburn.

At the last minute, I decided to add one of their $45 concentrates, and one that I've seen since the start of Sunburn but never tried, Sour Gak.
I guess I clicked Fresh Press instead of badder, and was told the badder is out of stock anyway.

Still decided to go for it, despite having reservations around Fresh Press from past experiences at sunburn.

Cracking the container, absolutely no smell. Nothing good, nothing bad, just nothing.
Definitely needs to warm up a bit to get some smell out of it.

Hopefully I can squeeze some taste from it, as the terps are great on it.

Double downing on this, as it has been really good. Flavor comes through very clearly, vapes great, and is strong.
Flavor even lasted through an entire Crafty sesh.

If you don't mind paying over $20/eighth, I think the $27 is worth it and should reach a level the $20s maybe can't quite.

I'm fine paying more, but I'm not fine paying more with diminishing returns. This seems to ride the line well.

Hopefully future batches are just as good as this is one to come back to.

Is anyone subscribed to Curaleaf emails? Something weird is happening.
They're essentially no longer advertising Curaleaf discounts to me, but are advertising their separate website based company, thehempcompany.

So they're basically advertising to paid florida MMU users, to go outside of the state regulations, and purchase their products online through their website.

That just does not seem like something that is allowed lol. How can a dispensary that has authorization from the state be like "instead of buying through the state, go here instead", and leading them to a non-medical site.

Am I missing something?

That's so strange advertising their separate non-medical company to their Curaleaf medical email list.
Feel like that's a ballsy line to try to tread lol.

The Flowery opened a new location near me about a month ago. I haven't been to a Flowery until today, they were having " any 8 eighths for $200"deal. I got 4 Doja Permanent Marker and 4 Super Dope Mega Z Dark. They both are beautiful to look at, each eighth was 2 -4 nice buds. They both vape very nicely. The dispensary was hopping @ 11:00 AM on a Wed.

 

[AJS]

RiSE is having some great deals right now.

2 for $40 of their top tier flower, but only on select strains.
Also doing 4 for $75
or 8 for $120

Ended up snagging Animal Face as I pretty much always have that on deck now, and tried something new called OMG.
Buds are a bit smaller but wouldn't consider them "smalls", RiSE usually just has big nugs.

2.81% terps, BetaMyrcene leading at 1.19%, followed by Limonene at .41%.

They look great, smell is strong, vapes great, strong effects and lots of flavor. Definitely recommended, another strong win from RiSE.

When I mentioned the 8 for $200 Flowery deal to the RiSE person, he was actually saying how good of a deal that was for how great the flowery quality is. Surprising to hear a dispensary vouch for another's quality. Think Flowery has just solidified a name for themselves at this point.

I hope my FC family is okay and safe from the storm.

 

[His_Highness]

The same to you @AJS and also to the rest of our geographic compatriots.

All good in Jax..........

Sorry for the late reply....had some family fly in Friday morning from Philly and we put the "P" in party for a couple days.

 

[AJS]

This recent batch of Animal Face I got about 2 weeks ago has been fantastic.
This OMG is also a new favorite of mine. Very similar to Animal Face in that very pungent flavor and heavy high, but with more of a sour twist. Very good.

Got some Brownie Scout which is a popular one from there, but I didn't like it in the past, but figured I'd give it another try. Still on the fence about it. The buds look great and they're sticky, but the smell is soily / piney.

Vaped some with the gf who is a very lightweight, and we both realized very quickly we could barely think straight. This stuff gets your head reaall foggy with a physical airiness to it as well.

Overall, all very potent.

Went to RiSE today. Most of their premium strains are 2 for $59 which is a solid deal but a bit more than I'd like to pay.
A few strains were discounted for $25, so two for $50 at that rate.

Ended up going with more OMG as that was part of the $25, but also the TNG (Tang?).

OMG looks great, and the Tang is also great. It's a sativa, and based on the profile I had assumed it was going to be that orange cream soda smell/favor. While that is certainly the predominant flavor, it's not as overbearing as the Loma that I always refer to from a while ago. It's not pure orange peel / cream soda, it's mostly that, but is balanced out by a bit of spicy musk. Flavor comes through very clearly in the vapman.

Another good pickup from RiSE.

Funny, all the dispensaries I've been to so far are "yes on 3",
but Marijuana Doctor is No on 3.

The No on 3 commercials I see are so ridiculous. It's reaching for a very specific scenario and I don't understand it.

I do understand the pros and cons that can be seen from both, but just the commercials themselves are out there.

If it does pass, I sure hope it's for the better. Medical is headed in a good direction, but I hate that people could still be out there getting arrested for weed, or don't have the upfront cost to qualify each year for medical.

No clue what to expect.

I went to Rise the other day and picked up Animal Face ,4 for 99$@ 30.4%. Muv is where I usually shop but their flower is so unmemorable these days. A Flowery recently opened by me , but it's too expensive and was a hassle to deal with....I have AYR(Liberty) and a Sanctuary Med by me ....used to buy flower from Liberty ....don't hear anything about Sanctuary Med.....

 

[AJS]

RiSE got some Rosin that I’ve really been wanting to try. With how good their flower is id hope their rosin matches it.

I asked the lady checking me in if she could check for discounts as I told her I wanted to try it but definitely wouldn’t spend $70 which she agreed the price was too much.

She hit me with a
“One sec let me juuuuuust, ok, you now have two 30% off coupons to use”
I’m pretty certain I didn’t have those before so a huge thank you to her if she got those added under the table for me.

I went with Banana Cream with about 8% terps and a great spread on the profile.

The smell is strong and clean. A sweet floral lemon on the first inhale followed some pungent spiciness underneath.

Consistency looks great. Not dispensed as cleanly as Sunburn but very pleased.

Haven’t tasted it yet. If that comes through how it smells, it’ll be a big win for me for sure.

$49 after discount. $70 before.

Rise is the one who does the queen colas right @AJS ive never been to rise but might to try out one of those

Had to google this, do you mean those huge 14 grammer nugs? Think that's a different state that RiSE does that for.

This has been really good. The flavor isn't the same as the smell, but the flavor is great and clean. It's a piney-musky flavor that comes through with a lot of clarity.
Effects are definitely strong.

If they can discount this to around $50, hopefully closer to $40 to compete with Sunburn when they have their strong discounts, this will be a great addition to the market. Better than the Rosin I've tried at other dispensaries.

But, we've seen a history of first-batch successes that couldn't keep consistent.

No they have them in Florida just sell out quick after they drop. Have seen pics of garlic glu, brownie scout, jack herer, and a strain called soul mate. For the weights I saw it’s more like 18gs of flower but its a half off allotment (14g) gotta love the rolling rec. At least request for exemptions are free and turn over has been quick from DOH

the yes on three makes it to where you won’t get arrested if the cannabis Is in approved container. From a licensed disp. I don’t think it will make it any different except for people visiting fl Won’t need a card, just access to mediocre flower at a tax$$$ hopefully it won’t ruin the medical program. If they wanted to cap thc for med patients I can see them doing it for rec, diet tree.

I was walking to a brewery downtown, and stumbled upon a Goldflower dispensary! Not every day in Florida you can step into a dispensary you didn’t know about.

The dispensary has a very high class feel. It’s a bit ridiculous but they backed it up with great knowledge, support, and presentation.

Hell, they’re all wearing suits when you walk in.

Flower is all indoor, “organically” grown, at least what I saw advertised. Not sure what that truly means but hey it’s something.

They got me in and out in minutes, and had a spreadsheet of strains, percentages, and leading terpenes. Made it very easy.

Flower is expensive and deals seem rare. $50 an eighth, $40 for smalls. Only went because they have 1st, 2nd, 3rd time discounts.

Ended up with Candy Rain smalls at around 2.5% terps and Linalool leading.

Of course, I haven’t tried it yet as usual, but soon after my brewery visit

The buds are small, not tiny, but definitely small. As soon as I broke the seal though the smell was very strong before opening the container. Individual nugs smell great with a lot of depth and clarity. Initial smell is pungent, but there's some sweet notes in there with some rosy flowery and some musk.

The bud vapes just great and how you'd hope. Sessions lasts long, flavor starts off strong, carries through a few hits and tapers off. Turns to a neutral and not a dark flavor. Quickly hit me in the eyes.

Very pleased. All around one of my favorite dispensary visits, felt like something new, with good buds to back it up.
Price is crazy though.
They do small bulk discounts, such as $70 for a quarter of smalls, when an eighth is $40.

$35-$40/eighth for smalls though?

Will be hard to go back once I'm out of 1st time discounts.

Sorry for being absent...I had an issue with my kidney but all good now; and to be fair, I wasn't getting e,mails about the thread but finally remembered, lol.
Went to Green Dragon today for the first time and in chatting with the guy he said "we are known for our concentrates" which made me wonder because they had sugar and live wax and the rest of the typical syringe and cartridge stuff which I rarely get. I am looking forward to trying it (I got some of both) and two, 7g bags of flower that I haven't opened yet.
Good to be back.

Welcome back! Can't wait to hear your experience at GD!

We're so slow working through purchases and there are so many new dispos and new product we haven't even bought yet ..... this thread is a huge help....

The images below are from my 1st time trip to Green Dragon. The store was unremarkable but fine for what it is. Three male staff members, all kinda quiet bit all helpful. I got 50% off the entire order which I didn't know I would get until I was there so happy day. Ended up with 12 grams of sugar and some live wax (no pic of that as it's too light in color against a white background, lol) and 14 grams of flower.

7G bag flower


Contents of bag


Concentrate "ring" box...sturdy little box with a very satisfying click shut...feels like a magnet is how I would describe it.


Container inside the box


Cloud sugar


Forgot to upload these from before...a large nug from Fluent and their sugar, which I was getting for a while, and now, strangely, no longer has it...hopefully it comes back.
