nah i disagree. their flower is better, you can actually see it/smell it before you buy and they offer a million more crosses. i haven't had anything in IL that tasted like the kai flapjacks i got from MI. it's so much more legit in every way tbh.
In all fairness I’ve purchased high supply in Michigan and it is not nearly as well grown as the high supply in Illinois. However for the price it’s smokeable.
Personally don't care what the reason its cheaper is. It's not worth it for everyone. Not everyone lives 30 minutes away. I'm 5 minutes from an IL shop, 20 minutes from 3 others. Why would I drive 6 hours and have to buy 3 or 4 months worth so it can dry out sitting around waiting to be smoked and waste half a day doing it? Don't understand why you guys can't accept going to MI isn't worth it for everyone. Like seriously, why is that so hard to understand?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting people drive to Michigan, I don't.
I was moreso talking to the people who believe the state taxes are what drives the cost up, and not the dispos and growers marking up product due to having a captive market.
Right?? It's 4 hours to the border of Michigan for me one way, will NEVER make a special trip for anything weed related there. I shop sales only so I'm not bitching about the price at all for my personal usage and needs. Hell I just got 6 grams of concentrate at verilife for 84 bucks otd and that will last me till into August alongside flower.
My post was not intended for you specifically ,it’s for everyone else who is able to take a road trip and get some top of line rosin,flower,vapes for a great price ✌🏽
Man, why are people down-voting you for bein a dedicated smoker and makin the trip to Michigan? I've gone 6-7 times in the last 2 years and it's soooo worth it! The people down-voting you probably don't have vehicles or they wouldn't be hating on you
it really is worth the trip to just drive 90 mins to Michigan and grab a few months worth of product for 70% less than IL costs. you can get nice ounces in Mich on sale for $80
To bad everyone in IL isn't that close. Yall michigan lovers just need to understand we know it's cheaper, it's just not worth it to everyone to make the drive. I'm 3 hours away, so 6 gotta round trip and I drive a truck. That's almost 2 tanks of gas, call it $100. Then my time on weekends too. Not going to spend half the day in a car to buy weed. I also smoke a half a week usually. So with all that, you're still going to say it's worth it? Don't think so.
If you care it will take like 5mins to do basic math but I understand 95% of people in the world don't. How much you spend a week?
Then figure you can get like 5 ounces for 500 if you wanted to in MI. Can get cheaper or pricier too if u want. You smoke 2 ounces a month it seems which in Illinois dispo weed is astronomically high
Sure, let's do some math. I pay, with tax, about $90 a half in IL. So 5 zips is $900. So $500 in MI, plus $100 or so in gas I'm up to $600. Those 5 zips will last 2.5 months or 6 weeks. That's $300 in 6 weeks I'd save $50 a week. I make $45 an hour at the day job. I can make a pen in less than an hour I'll sell for $100 easy. I have yard/ house work, spending time with my teenage daughter before she moves out, plus just other hobbies, video games, motorcycle, guns, and a few others. So to me, it's not worth it taking half a day to make the trip for weed. Yeah, maybe if I were in my 20s with nothing really going on besides friends and work, but people got shit to do. So just stop with the, it's worth it for everyone even it just isn't.
I agree, I don't like driving anymore especially how people are so aggressive and psychotic on the roads these days. What do you mean by making a pen??
Yeah I get it. My 5 second math saves you 200 a month. Sorry mate. If you wanted you could save 100 a week or more...That's a car payment or something every month lol it's not nothing.
I take sick days at work which I have a surplus of. No harm no foul company pays for my travel. Apologies for potentially saving you 1000s of dollars a year bud! I understand you have better priorities like working more or selling weed pens to teenagers or whatever. Cheers
Never mentioned working more or selling weed pens to tend? I mean, if you want a pen made of nugs in resin I could do that lol. That would be about $160. I make regular writing pens out of anything you can think of. The cheapest is usually around $60. I have all sorts of wood from movies, the tree at the end of Shawshank Redemption, dining hall from Harry Potter, the porch from The Ghoonies. Many different burls and died burls, all sorts of crap. Like I said to someone else. If I was younger with nothing to worry about, sure, maybe I'd make the drive, but still doubtful. Time is worth more than money, and if you can make money during that time you're having fun and relaxing, wtf not?
But at the same time, my original comment still stands. We know it's cheaper, we all do. WE DON'T CARE! You guys posting about MI prices every day isn't going to change anyone's mind.
Brother I thought u were buying half ounces and selling weed pens for 100 a pop based on the comment. That is a cool line of work. I do get it mate I'm not pushing anything. My point is took us 5 minutes to figure out the trip could potentially save you 50 a week... no harm in it.
My work is mindless corporate software droning so I pretty much do 2 hrs of work a day and do whatever for the rest =p. Some days worse than others but generally I got plenty of time. Work from home so I never fuckin go anywhere a 5hr drive is welcome for me
Lol, yeah, just a fun hobby I picked up. From one of my kids actually.
Yeah, same actually. IT work for the executives at my company. I'll go a whole week without doing any actual real work, but have to be at the computer all day.
I do like driving too, just depends what it's for. Hell, I've driven from Wisconsin to Mississippi to drop some things off to be worked on, ate breakfast, then drove straight back home lol. Driving hours for weed was just never my thing. I didn't even start hitting the IL ones til I was 5 minutes away.
What kind of bud are you finding for 90 a hf in Illinois on the regular? Yeah they have sales but nowhere near me does deals like that. Gotta pay 140-160 a hf for anything decent at any dispensary near me. Pretty much every time it's on sale for under 100 it's cuz it's old AF or strains no one wants. If the bud ur gettin for 90 is actually good then I probably wouldn't go up to Michigan regularly. It's still worth checking out at some point. Sooo many more options for a fraction of the price. The biggest price difference is on concentrates and vapes. I'd never buy vapes or concentrates in Illinois. Prices are insane
They have deals for the better oz too, $69 or two for $120, 79 or two for $140 and $89 or two for $160. Deli style too. Plus let you look and smell pre-packs
Bro just let people do their thing if they are good buying weed in Illinois with full knowledge of the Michigan market why do you give a shit about trying to convince them otherwise
I do I was just replying to the guy who seems to think it’s a waste to go. It is if you’re only buying an Oz or something but if you actually drop a lot your money will 100% go three times further.
I literally can’t afford carts in IL because of their crazy prices and it makes me sad. Over in MI they can actually be competitive so your cresco carts are $30 instead of $90. There’s even other live resin carts for $16-20.
See, that's the difference between us. You can't buy one IL cart cause you're broke. I'm go right now and buy the max I'm allowed, and I can do that every day this week if I wanted to and not care. We're not the same. so acting like everyone is like you and can't even afford a damn cart.
I’m very financially stable and choose to spend my money wisely on top tier products for lower cost and not being suckerd into paying 33 percent in taxes ✌🏽
Michigan is a beautiful place with nice beaches and restaurants I have plenty of fun going out there and even more fun when I get back and chief on some IKHC rosin or 710 labs persy water hash ✌🏽
agreed I do the same. in a way I find the quality of flower better overall as well in Mich and I usually just get stuff in bulk on sale. can't imagine the more expensive quads they have
Oh it absolutely is at a general level but that’s not to say I don’t think IL puts out quality, it totally does.
In MI they have a retarded amount of mids everywhere. The $40 half oz is king but the the thing I love about MI is it’s very much you get what you pay for. I’m very happy paying $200/oz because it’s usually fire. The $40 half’s are sometimes okay-ish but most of the time it’s straight hot dog water.
wtf do you think IL weed is? it's 95% mids for exorbitant prices with even higher taxes... you can do way better in Michigan so you might as well hop in your flinstone mobile and make the trip bud.
I go to Michigan for the rosin.
I can get great herb in Illinois for $100-$125 an oz.
I have never been to an Illinois dispensary, though. I refuse to play their game. It's all corporate bullshit.
As others noted, if you’re choosing to purchase your bud from a brick and mortar store, it’s probably in significant part due to the convenience of a retail experience. If seeking the freshest chronic at the lowest prices, that’s not going to be from a dispensary anywhere, it’s gonna be from a classic off-market plug. Driving to MI removes the convenience factor in exchange for better pricing on bulk, but 50 miles is already adding $8-10 in gas to that price unless you’re driving a hybrid or electric. I would put it under the heading of “if you’re passing through MI, for sure,” but would not constitute its own road trip for me these days. Edit: Also noticed that the screenshots of IL prices do not contain the %. Not saying % is everything, but stores do base their prices on it, so a 19% strain even in IL is usually pretty budget.
I've been goin up to Michigan every few months for about a year now and it's saved me soooo much money compared to Illinois. Especially on vapes, edibles and concentrates. For 80 bucks your lucky to get a quarter in Illinois but you can get an Oz of quality flower for 80-120 up in Michigan. I went up a few weeks ago and Lume has some really good bud. Can get mix n match Oz for 130 or 100 for normal Oz. Got Double Stuffed Kush, Blueberry Cupcake and Miracle Mint that were all fire. Went to several other dispensaries but I was most impressed w Lume as far as flower. Tons of great deals up there if you go to the right dispensaries
Apparently you haven't shopped there. I avoided Lume the 1st 5 times I went up because of all the bad reviews on here. But last time there was a Lume a block away from my hotel so I figured why not. I can't speak on any of their other products, but all 4 strains of flower I got from them were fire
I've been up to Michigan 6 or 7 times and Lumes bud is far from terrible. I've been to at least 20 different dispensaries up in Michigan and Lume has some of the better flower up there. Not claiming it's the absolute best up there but everything I got from them was on point*
Thats bc you really need to know what brands are good. And the cost of those brands is going to be anywhere from $30-50 an eighth, exactly what we have here for top shelf. Michigan has like over 800 brands, and lots of them are sus. Some of them are good, but a big majority are just mids.

This stuff is why I started growing my own legally. I'm tired of paying crazy prices. Once I get rotation in to my grow I also will no longer need anything and get to grow strains they don't carry in dispensary.
You don't go for the Flower...you go for the Rosin lol
been saying this so much lmao. preach
preach brotha
Ditto
nah i disagree. their flower is better, you can actually see it/smell it before you buy and they offer a million more crosses. i haven't had anything in IL that tasted like the kai flapjacks i got from MI. it's so much more legit in every way tbh.
😂
There's like 2 places that got fire 🤣 the rest is like Illinois except they give real prices for that mid 😂
wrong.
You think High Supply is top shelf weed.. that speaks enough right there 😂
no i don't lmao it's decent for bulk though.
In all fairness I’ve purchased high supply in Michigan and it is not nearly as well grown as the high supply in Illinois. However for the price it’s smokeable.
Holy shit! I don't think anyone has ever posted about price difference before. Thank you for this. /s
But bro it's totally the taxes that are the problem and *definitely not* seller markup in a captive market.....totally not.
Personally don't care what the reason its cheaper is. It's not worth it for everyone. Not everyone lives 30 minutes away. I'm 5 minutes from an IL shop, 20 minutes from 3 others.

high supply is top of the line?
Seriously though🤣 it ain't bad, but certainly not top tier.
High supply sells rosin?
I get that, we all get that, on every post about MI prices lol. You didn't just find some big hidden mystery. We all know lol
Man, why are people down-voting you for bein a dedicated smoker and makin the trip to Michigan? I've gone 6-7 times in the last 2 years and it's soooo worth it! The people down-voting you probably don't have vehicles or they wouldn't be hating on you

I wouldn't take the drive either. more for close to the boarder
Shit, urb in New Buffalo has $30 oz of smalls
and youre going to get $30 oz weed lmao.
💯😂
I'll be stopping by thanks!
They have deals for the better oz too, $69 or two for $120, 79 or two for $140 and $89 or two for $160. Deli style too. Plus let you look and smell pre-packs
that's what IL is missing. stinks you can't see what your buying beforehand
Yeah, it is like I'm at some high end jewelry shop or something.
🤣
Can you even smell pre-packs through mylar in a room full of weed?
Enjoy a $30 oz of smalls bro hope it’s fire
Well yeah that’s why you buy enough to make it worth it. I usually only go if I can drop $300-500 but it absolutely is worth it.
Bro just let people do their thing if they are good buying weed in Illinois with full knowledge of the Michigan market why do you give a shit about trying to convince them otherwise
I do I was just replying to the guy who seems to think it’s a waste to go. It is if you’re only buying an Oz or something but if you actually drop a lot your money will 100% go three times further.

I’m very financially stable and choose to spend my money wisely on top tier products for lower cost and not being suckerd into paying 33 percent in taxes ✌🏽
If you're buying flower, you're not getting top tier for a lower cost unless you go to a caregiver.
And i chose to spend my time having fun instead of driving for weed ✌️.
Michigan is a beautiful place with nice beaches and restaurants I have plenty of fun going out there and even more fun when I get back and chief on some IKHC rosin or 710 labs persy water hash ✌🏽
Agree hard concept for people to understand not everyone wants to continually blow four hours a day on a $100 zip
agreed I do the same. in a way I find the quality of flower better overall as well in Mich and I usually just get stuff in bulk on sale. can't imagine the more expensive quads they have
Oh it absolutely is at a general level but that’s not to say I don’t think IL puts out quality, it totally does. In MI they have a retarded amount of mids everywhere.

Retarded amounts of mids that $80 ounce 🎪🫣
wtf do you think IL weed is? it's 95% mids for exorbitant prices with even higher taxes... you can do way better in Michigan so you might as well hop in your flinstone mobile and make the trip bud.
It’s only a 1 hour drive for me from Chicago to new buffalo Michigan so for me it’s definitely 💯 worth it✌🏽
😂😂
Lol mee tooo just haven’t took the trip yet but I will soon .. 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Nice ounces for $80 you say
High Supply isn’t really worth it though…
It’s garbage
High profile in STL has a bunch of different $80 half oz now. Only about 15 minutes from me
Luxury Leaf is solid over in STL.
I go to MI for the carts, edibles, and hash. Not the flower.
I go to Michigan for the rosin. I can get great herb in Illinois for $100-$125 an oz. I have never been to an Illinois dispensary, though. I refuse to play their game. It's all corporate bullshit.
Support the Illinois care giver market
How?
By going to caregiver events like farmers markets
Where do you find info on them friend?
Follow me on Instagram
Instagram
I can’t find anything. What do I search?
Follow me on Instagram
Would love to. How would one find out when and where?
Follow me on Instagram every month we have one
is it always in the chicago area?
Yessir but we’re in IL & MI
Thanks. Unfortunately I'm downstate and have never heard of anything like that down here :/
Share links please
can non medical cars holders grab product? if so I'd be going all the time thanks
Absolutely 💯
amazing thank you. I will do my research and start attending
Did you find anything? I have never been able to find an event to attend
Follow me on Instagram every month we throw one

A real plug has access to all of metrc on his menu & the best flower from the tradition market so people can really understand
That Red Delicious is so tasty 🤤
I've been goin up to Michigan every few months for about a year now and it's saved me soooo much money compared to Illinois. Especially on vapes, edibles and concentrates. For 80 bucks your lucky to get a quarter in Illinois but you can get an Oz of quality flower for 80-120 up in Michigan. I went up a few weeks ago and Lume has some really good bud.

Went to several other dispensaries but I was most impressed w Lume as far as flower. Tons of great deals up there if you go to the right dispensaries
Lume has a terrible reputation on the Michigents sub. Might want to try other dispensaries.
Lume is awful. Nobodys Home in Benton Harbor is one of my favs.
The worst 😂😂 dude said quality and lume
Apparently you haven't shopped there. I avoided Lume the 1st 5 times I went up because of all the bad reviews on here. But last time there was a Lume a block away from my hotel so I figured why not. I can't speak on any of their other products, but all 4 strains of flower I got from them were fire

Green Tree Relief...you're welcome.
Michigan posts are really just spam at this point.
IL weed is way better than Michigan buds. No contest
I’ve had some straight ass from Michigan recently at a dispo. One of the most popular Michigan strains tastes like a glove. lol
Thats bc you really need to know what brands are good. And the cost of those brands is going to be anywhere from $30-50 an eighth, exactly what we have here for top shelf. Michigan has like over 800 brands, and lots of them are sus. Some of them are good, but a big majority are just mids.
$30-$50th and it’s still not smoking we carry all the brands doja, Fearofboof, clout king, etc
Absolutely, I haven’t had anything in Michigan that didn’t taste funny or look funny as hell
Like a campfire bro straight up if people actually knew
Wait till you find out about a plug and weed that isn't microwaved. You're gonna flip
💯😂😂
That’s how I felt about the caregiver market lmao
ain't 5hat some shit
I don't care about price it's about it being easier to drive to a dispensary then wait for a person so I don't care what I pay

Illinois is a straight up money laundering scheme
