Tokin' Away Since 1968
After being out of the country for six months, it was time to resupply. So I drove to one of my favs near Portland, Seaweed, because they were having a sale. I couldn't believe how many new adult and medical dispensaries have opened in the last few months, more than a dozen on the two hour drive and another handful of new stores within a mile or two of Seaweed near the Maine Mall. I can see why stuff is on sale: too many retailers. I bought two for-sale items and two full-price items. A week later I opened one of the full-price items and looked at the lab analysis and noticed that the resin had been manufactured more than a year ago. If kept frozen, it wouldn't have lost potency, but if stored at room temp, it could have become weaker and less flavorful. I called Seaweed and they said it was kept cool and dark, but not frozen. They said if I wasn't satisfied, I could bring it in for a return replacement. Turned out to be quite good stuff and the drive is 2plus hours, so I didn't do anything. So I was tickled when I got an email from Seaweed yesterday giving me a full credit for that resin. Sometimes competition is good for us consumers, but I still worry that the better dispensaries will get knocked off by the sleazier and more unscrupulous and less invested companies.
