And homegrown means not throwing away a bunch of plastic every time ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I really wish dispensaries let me bring in a reusable container, and just had bags of weed I could scoop it out of and then pay by weight. Like the candy aisle at a grocery store.

Barring that, having a container exchange would also be nice. Like 5ยข bottle deposits.

That's how my black market guy does it lol it's amazing. Frankly I blame overregulation, how can we keep the children safe without packing a joint in 2 ounces of plastic? Never mind that you can open a Smirnoff bottle with one hand! And you ain't even gotta light that! Lmfao it's nuts.

Container deposit would be nice, but buying bulk marijuana in a reusable container would be the ultimate. I'd like to see farmers and weed heads come together free of government intervention, like at a farmer's market. I want October on the ganja farm to be like the pumpkin patch, the fall destination everyone loves. Maybe do like a pick your own ๐Ÿ˜‚

There's a place I used to go to that has a $10 branded grove bag, discounted to $5 if you were a first time customer. Every time you bring it back they take $10 off your total when you check out. I thought that was a reasonable solution for people who cared, and easy enough to ignore if it isn't your thing.

I wanna scoop up nugs with my own bag just like how I pick up my dogs poo when we go on walks.

Flip the baggy inside out, stick your hand DEEP into the weed cauldron, grab a bunch, flip the bag inside out. Now I am cannabissed.

I want this.

IMO it's more satisfying to check your stash and see quart jar after quart jar of top shelf bud and it's all yours.

You could still do your bag idea just for the cool factor though.

So called "deli style" dispensaries do exist, but at least in Missouri it is a much steeper application and permitting process. If weed only had alcohol style sales restrictions, it would be everywhere. But weed is scary so they make a bunch of rules to make themselves feel safer.
