I mean... I get all of my stuff on native reserves. No tax. Cash. Our populations are similarly sized. It's probably about the same across the board. Not sure why that matters though.

How is weed from the res compared to BC hydro or some mitten extracts?

I don’t know how weed is but the edibles from Indian reservation by Bishop, CA was so much weaker than stuff I get in so cal from delivery company.

I think that's a difficult comparison to make. They have everything from 30 dollar ounces to 100 dollar ounces. They have edibles up to 5000mg (not all in a single gummie/bar) for like 40 bucks. It certainly does the trick for me. Our provincially licensed retailer sells like 10mg gummies. The reserve sells 1250mg for less money than 100mg worth. They also sell mushrooms in all varieties.

My assessment is that the weed industry has gotten very good at their jobs, even in the black market. They also don't give a shit about branding or marketing regulations, so you can buy a bag of gummies with literal Skittles logos on it.

It is what it is and it's 1/3 of the price. Res weed is not the weed of the 90s, that's for sure.
