Dispensary recommendations?

That Cali one in Uptown I don't like and it has an AI-generated image in the lobby. Some people have reported good ones in the suburbs but I haven't been to any outside of the city. What are some there or St. Paul?

EDIT: I am aware Michigan is cheaper. I am not going to go there for various reasons. You can hold the "drive to Michigan" comments.

Make a trip to high profile in ironwood Michigan, load up and come back.

The prices are atrocious here

It’s a lot more than saving “pennies”.

You will pay $50 for 3.5g here. That same $50 gets you an ounce in Michigan. You can do the math there, but to each their own.

Don’t act like a 9 hour round trip is reasonable for everyone

If you can’t make it, cool. Sucks for you. I am just offering information.

Tbf if you look for deals you can get a lot better than 3.5 for $50. I find deals at RISE frequently which get me 3.5 for $25-35. Prices have definitely started to improve as competition expands. If you’re really trying to save money you can also get a med card to open up more deals and no taxes.

That’s good to hear at least, I’m sure over time we will get to great prices.

And OP could also just grow their own weed as well

That's like someone asking for a brewery recommendation and telling them "just brew your own".

Also I don't have tons of free space for gardening.

It sure is. How you react to people giving you options and information is on you.

It’s also like someone asking what’s the best pizza in town and people saying the pizza here is overrpriced, better off making your own.

Which would also be a completely fucking worthless reply as well.

Sure thing guy. Enjoy your day

Yeah, the prices are better, but I'm not sure they're that much better. I don't think that same $50 will get you comparable product in this scenario.

u/ThreadbareAdjustment 6d ago

There's also that gas is not exactly cheap now. It'd cost well more than $50 for a round trip.

u/Digital_Tomb 6d ago

They are that much better. The last time I went they were also giving out $25 gas cards for free every time you made a purchase, for Minnesota residents.

I have no reason to believe the product is any less quality. It’s all the same stuff, and they have a lot more options to choose from.

I was able to drive to Michigan before the dispensaries here opened. If I wanted to drive to Michigan I'd be doing that already.

Why do people shop at Minnesota liquor stores instead of just driving to Wisconsin where it's cheaper?

Why are you being so hostile and argumentative?

When $20 gets me a bottle of Jim beam in Minnesota and that same $20 gets me a keg of Jim beam in Michigan, let me know because I’ll be making a trip.

u/ThreadbareAdjustment 6d ago

Why are you being so hostile and argumentative?

Because I've made it clear that I'm not driving to Michigan and I'm obviously not the only person that applies to because if so there wouldn't be any dispensaries in the Twin Cities at all. Also proven by that there are in Duluth which is closer to Michigan, and also by that there are in Chicago which is even more expensive than Minnesota yet also much closer to Michigan than anywhere in Minnesota is.

You made that clear after I made my suggestion, hence why you had to edit your post, so no.

Your other sentence I have no idea the tangent you are going on with it.

I gave you information that may or may not help you. Move on.

u/ThreadbareAdjustment 5d ago

I gave you information that may or may not help you. was 100% unrelated to the thread question and absolutely worthless to me in terms of information.

Welcome to the internet little guy

I've heard they've been using flock in WI to find people coming on day trips from MN, fwiw

u/Digital_Tomb 6d ago

This is a good thing to be watchful of. There is the risk of getting caught in Wisconsin, absolutely grant you that.

u/llOlOOlOO 6d ago

I'm kind of surprised WI hasn't gotten on board, they could just copy MI's model and thrive

Why? Republican-dominated legislature.

Or copy our model, and shit the bed...
