@DMTVJG I'm right in St Pete
Here's my thoughts on the ones you mentioned
1. When I was using MUV, I always had pretty good success with them. I just haven't used them in a while.
They had some good purple strains, I remember some Cherry strains being good, and one of the best strains I've seen was their Slurricane.
2. I've never tried their top tier, but if you scroll up you'll see me consistently advocating for their "Roll One" brand. $20 eighths, non discounted, all year around. Sometimes they are $15, and I've briefly seen $25 for something over 30% thc.
They always smell good, nice soft buds, and solid terps. Just a good consistent, cheap staple that you can walk in and grab and be pretty satisfied.
3. Never tried, cookies, heard mixed things, but I love that it's a good shopping experience. That's half the battle sometimes.
4. This used to be my go-to budget dispensary, but since so many dispensaries have come down in price, and with Trulieve's R.O. being so good for the price, I haven't been there much. I'll still stop in for disposables or edibles. My uncle loves them though, they treat him really well and get him whatever he describes he needs.
5. I've wanted to try this, but don't think there's one close enough to justify. I checked out out in Vegas before though.
6. This was my first ever dispensary when there were essentially only 3 options.
Never a wait, compared to Trulieves 2 hour wait.
Had high potency distillate and disposables.
But they just never kept up with the FL market. They give a very science-y, medical feel.
Tried Insa once, was a solid experience, haven't had a reason to drive back out there though.
Jungle Boys recently opened down the street from me, good so far.
RiSE has been one of my favorites. Good sticky big buds when you know what to get.
I know some in here like Fluent, but I've never been.
Curaleaf, SunnySide, One Plant, are basically all lower budget.
SunnySide used to be One Plant back when they were good.
One Plant took over House of Platinum which took over HighTimes. It's still the same strains, so I don't think anything's changed. Their 1g disposables are good and cheap tho.
GoldFlower is a recent top choice for me, really enjoy them. Some of the most helpful staff. Great flower, great concentrates.
Sunburn is also really good, great 90u rosin, and helpful staff.
Growhealthy is a great mix of decent budget and good quality.
Love we have so many options now.
If you haven't realized it yet, you can avoid paying full price every time you go to a dispensary if you just keep a lookout for deals (which are pretty much every day).
