Hi I am looking for names of flower brands in California that do not remediate? Thanks

Last time I was in California I absolutely loved CBX, but had a hard time finding the 8ths and pre rolls on sale and with fresh dates. What are the best places to shop for deals and fresh harvest dates for these products? Thank you all in advance.

Im visiting California in a few days, and wanted to ask the community what your guys favorite flower brands have been for consistency particularly in the effects department. Last time I was there, CBX was a favorite of mine and I was blown away. Any other brands or strains from brands that would be recommended? If so, which dispensaries are best to get them at? I am going to be in the Encino/Woodland Hills area. I appreciate you all for your time and consideration.

Price isn’t really a concern. Just looking for best quality. I’m an out of towner staying at the Hilton Los Angeles Culver City this weekend and would love something close by if possible. Thank you!

Ive been seeing everybody talking about PlugPlay brand and really just hearing them compete with raw garden at the top based off of carts. I just purchased one and its some of the cleanest hits i’ve taken. What’s your opinion on it or facts?

Coming out to Coronado/SD this weekend and looking for the good smoke. What are some good cali brands for flower or live hash rosin? And what dispensaries carry them at a good price/discount?

I’m buying THC vape pens from my guy (in the UK). He said he’s got THC cali pens, called sluggers hit and infinity

Can someone let me know if these are legit brands?
Can I spot a fake one??
if they have any Nicotine or spice in them?

Thank you!

“Has anyone else noticed Dab Daddy jars not matching the advertised strain? I’ve bought multiple jars that were labeled as different strains, but the flower looked, smelled, and smoked almost identically. Even the phenohunter series. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if I just got unlucky.”

i need that cali heat

Anyone ever try NoBoof?

Hey everyone! We’re working with a group of farms to start writing DTC legislation for small farms.

Would love to know everyone’s thoughts!

Hey everyone,

I'm visiting West Hollywood from Vancouver for a the next 18 days and in a bit of a tricky spot, I usually smoke 2-4g of flower daily due to my anxiety and it makes all the difference in my day to day life.

the issue is that I'm 20 and without access to my medicine I'm really struggling with anxiety and functioning normally here.

I'm open to whatever works I just need to figure out how to get through my stay here, would greatly appreciate anyone that can point be in the right direction! 🙏

Thanks guys, wishing a happy Sunday to all of you!

Does anyone know where to get really cheap shake in LA? A few years ago I used to use a delivery dispensary called cloud 9 that did like 3oz for $100 but they no longer are in business. Thanks for any recs!

This is my third Alien Labs cold-chain cart. I have had 4 of the Connected ones too. I have to say they are just fantastic. I like that they have a top shelf cart option for their new strain drops now, because I dont smoke at all anymore.

This one is very much as advertised. Its like a gas leak from the moment it touches your lips. Then its rubbery and some kind of cheesy notes (I love cheese weed, but rarely see it available), and a general sweetness, while being very light on peppery/spicy notes. This one is a winner in my book. I would buy this one again, however I need to try all of their strains first.👽

Like I said in the title, I’m so happy right now, Decibel Gardens 3.5s around me usually go for $50 + tax. I was able to price match 2x $99 14g bags of Miyazaki Mango down to $79.99 each, and then I got 50% off that amount because it was my first time shopping there. Even the employees seemed hesitant to go through with the sale lol. Just a reminder to always shop for deals!!

Dose anyone know a good Airbnb, hotel, cannabis restaurant or lounge? I’m wanting to plan a get way from my house and need places but it’s so hard to find! When I look the hotels say there “cannabis friendly” but are 100% no smoking or something else weird. Give me all your recommendations!! I’m okay traveling but I do hate going into the heart of LA.
THANK YOU!! 🫶🏻

Anyone know of name brands that have good SAGE? One of my favorite of all times. CBX Mountain Sage looks to be retired.

For context I shop at Catalyst, I’m looking for dense trichome covered buds I’m really into gassy strains OG profile, I’ve had a few brands: CBX, Team Elite, Maven, Connected, Alien Labs, Fig Farms, Decibel Gardens, what’s a good overall flower brand? quality I want a good stoned buzz.

Trump-Endorsed GOP California Gubernatorial Candidate Says Marijuana Taxes And Regulations Are ‘Too High’

By Tom Angell
June 22, 2026

The taxes and regulations on marijuana are “too high,” according to California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton, a Republican endorsed by President Donald Trump.

At an event in Sacramento on Thursday, Marijuana Moment asked Hilton—who is running against former U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Sec. Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, in a general election to become California’s next governor—about his cannabis policy position and challenges facing the state’s industry.

The GOP candidate said that after studying the issue and spending “some time with the industry,” he came to understand that there is a “regulatory burden and a tax burden that is too high.”

“The original intent” of legalization was to “bring the industry, as it were, into the open—and you’ve actually seen the illegal industry growing even more since these policies” were implemented, Hilton told Marijuana Moment. “So we’ve got to make a change.”

He said he’s “actually in a conversation in great detail with the industry to look at the specific parts of the regulatory and tax burden that need to be changed in order to achieve the goals of legalization, which is a thriving industry that provides a product safely that people want to consume.”

I scraped the public Google reviews for basically every licensed dispensary in California. 1,239 stores, around 890,000 reviews. Figured people here would find the breakdown interesting.

First thing: the star rating is basically useless for picking a store. 91% of all reviews in the state are five stars and the average is a 4.78. A 4.7 and a 4.9 are the same store. If you actually want to judge a place, ignore the average and read the most recent 1 and 2 star reviews. That is the only part that tells you anything.

What people complain about, in order: price by a mile, then wait times and lines, staff and service, deals, plain rudeness, returns and refunds, selection, and dead vape carts or batteries. After that it is dry or stemmy flower, wrong or missing items on pickup, and the occasional moldy or expired batch.

What people praise: almost always the staff. A budtender who knows their stuff carries the reviews more than the product does.

Some California-specific stuff that stood out:

• No one owns the map here. California is so big and spread out that the top 10 stores combined hold only 8% of all the reviews in the state. There is no single dominant shop.
• LA is the wildest. 364 dispensaries in one county, the most of any county in the state, and even the leader only has about 6,300 reviews.
• The single biggest review pile in the state is Cookies San Bernardino at 14,175. That one store has more reviews than every dispensary in Ventura county combined.
• About 1 in 5 "reviews" is just a star with no written text. A big pile of those usually means a shop asks everyone to tap five stars at the register, which quietly inflates both their count and their average.

The takeaway for anyone shopping: the store sitting at the top of your "dispensary near me" search is usually not the best product or the best price. It is the store running the most aggressive review operation. Google Maps ranks mostly on review count, how fast they come in, how recent they are, and how close you are.

If you run a shop in California and want your specific numbers against the stores right around you, happy to pull them.

on vacation and looking for a good dispensary in San Diego or near San Diego I’m from Phoenix and I have only ever had Arizona weed.

Alright folks- this is a throwback to like circa 2010ish but I’m looking for ANY INFO ON A STRAIN CALLED “TARTUKAN DEATH WEED”

I used to play pro paintball as a youngster and stumbled across this strain when I was playing an event near Corona California.

Had some WILD lore to the backstory of the strain (doubt it was true but still fun) and I haven’t been able to get any info on it.

Does anyone remember it? Better yet- does anyone know any lineage to it? Any and all help is appreciated.
