My advice: wait a bit.
Nebraska allows for gummy sales of hemp derived THC so I am in no rush. The Delta 9 THC gummies are the weed equivalent of a shitty dime bag of regular weed vs. the regular THC gummies being more of a high end kind bud equivalent weed but they are better than nothing.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:09 amMy advice: wait a bit.
At the beginning prices are inflated, inventory is low, and there are long lines.
Illinois, at least outside of Chicago, was a shit show. Standing in line to buy some overpriced weed isn't that appealing.
Now that the market has stabilized, prices are close to street prices but quality is superior. Especially for non flower products.
Dispensaries in KC routinely have sales. You can also order online and do pickup. Not sure that prices will be inflated as the medical prices here seem to be about the same as rec everywhere else. 20+% tax in KC, so I’d look into St. Joe for sure.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:14 amNebraska allows for gummy sales of hemp derived THC so I am in no rush.

I am sure there will be multiple dispensaries that pop up along our drive from Omaha to KC so I'll do some research as they open and run for a few weeks. Rock Port, St. Joe and north KC will all have some options. It'll be a shit show until March.
Ah, good to know about the KC-specific tax. I will keep that in mind. Thank you!CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:18 amDispensaries in KC routinely have sales.

I think I misremembered and in KC it's "only" 18%. I would imagine each city and county will have their additional, but I'm just assuming KC will be one of the highest. Was over 20% in Aspen a few years back, so KC not totally out of line from everywhere.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:25 amAh, good to know about the KC-specific tax. I will keep that in mind.

St. Joe looks like the spot to start.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:05 amI think I misremembered and in KC it's "only" 18%.

Nice, you should check that place out. I know that guy--quit his law job to get into recreational. Happier and soon to be richer.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:27 amSt. Joe looks like the spot to start.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:05 amI think I misremembered and in KC it's "only" 18%.

Getting an RX for and maintaining a medical card is more of a hassle and nearly as costly as just walking in and paying a sin tax.
Great location at Belt and Frederick, easy to get to from the highway. I will definitely make that one my first stop.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:39 amNice, you should check that place out. I know that guy--quit his law job to get into recreational.

I came to that same conclusion. When I break down the cost of an 1/8th of "clementine" to the cost of Dogfish Head beer on a per dose basis, the weed is still cheaper than my previous relaxation routine. And the beer isn't making my brain any younger so there is that.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:52 pmGetting an RX for and maintaining a medical card is more of a hassle and nearly as costly as just walking in and paying a sin tax.
If you're still buying flower form from a dispensary, you're gen x at the youngest.japhy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 3:46 pmI came to that same conclusion.

I think it's because younger people are more familiar with the vapes and edibles that Gen X (and older millennials) didn't grow up with. Gen X goes to a dispensary and is comfortable with what they know.
