I’ve been looking for a high CBD, mid-to-low THC strain or tincture. All these gray area operations are garbage. I’ve been to legal countries and states where you can…ask questions and get answers and have knowledgeable conversations with someone with recommendations. These janky-ass bags of high-concept packaging you see littering every sidewalk are bullshit. Open a jar, weigh me out what I ask for, and know some shit about it.

Anyone got any ideas or a favorite dispensary? I feel like with the bodegas selling, everyone just wanted to hop in with a store front and two glass display cases, and buys everything from one shitty company probably ruining the industry already. (I guess I’m more heated about this than I thought.)

Any reds are ‘preciated.

Here's the NYC gov website for licensed dispensaries in the state. these should have closer to the level of service and knowledge you are looking for.

I don't know what you have access to... But...

You can buy alcohol at organicalcohol.com or something. Then get an RSO syringe and some CBD isolate. Since both are already decarbed from the creation process you can mix it with the alcohol and make a tincture with your own ratios.

It's also usually cheaper than store bought tincture. At least where I am.

That alcohol site has sample packs... 4, 30ml tincture sized bottles. It's really simple.

I like buying generic grocery store seltzer cans and just put some tincture and titrate my dose throughout the evening.

Although I usually eventually max out my tolerance.

True. I appreciate the tip. I’m not a super serious smoker anymore. I’m really trying to use it for therapeutic reasons, so I’m gonna see how a prefab tincture works for me. And I want to check out the good stores in the city. I do miss enjoying getting high like I used to. Maybe I can find that again. But I’ll definitely keep this process in mind if I start achieving some results

The best dispensary I've been to so far is The Plug in Glendale, Queens, across the street from a stop-and-shop in a weird traffic triangle. Utterly bizarre place with incredible bud, great prices, and nice folks. No idea if it's legal, but it's brazen as fuck in a conservative neighborhood, so I'm guessing it's got some of advantage.
