The dispensaries are for crap now that they been out for awhile. And there is little in the way of dependable prices across the board. Down south in Pierce Co. it's really bad, quality is in the toilet. Everything passes to unsuspecting patients who don't know any better, and often the real dank never makes it on the shelves but goes to private stashes out the back door for higher prices nobody talks about. The old black market mentality still rules supreme. I have no idea where ur finding decent bud at most disp. for just $140-180/zip. Most on the menus has run $240-280, even $300 for supposed top shelf meds. Sure, if you know the right people on the streets u can pick up something decent for $160-180/zip. But most dealers have been getting $240-280/zip for awhile for something good. Any who thought cannabis becoming legal medically or otherwise would drop prices with a product avail over demand is little more than wishful thinking.
Edit: Thought I should add that every sample of Vortex I've come across from disp or on the streets has been garbage. It looks, smells and tastes just like the online descriptions say. But there's less than anything to write home about with a weak high- no second gear.
