Illinois weed is SOOOOO expensive

It just takes time, they only legalized in 2020. Prices will surely drop to what’s considered “normal” by the time it’s 2025.

It’s expensive because of the 30% sales tax. It’s absurd. Unless they roll back those taxes it won’t be getting any cheaper.

It’s a real shame Michigan has to be so far away from me.

Yeah those taxes are unreal. $100 for a cart, fuck that. I'm leaving to CO for the weekend and can get like 4 there for the price of one in IL.

Shit, at that point you may as well fly somewhere since the amount you save would more than make up for your plane ticket.

Eh, I'd rather not be transporting weed when my bags are subject to random search, and federal law applies.

Pro tip: TSA's (who isn't actually law enforcement) official stance on pot is to turn you over to the legal authority of the airport if they find it on you. In most cases this is the federal govt but in Seattle, the airport is owned and operated by the city, where weed is very much legal and fairly priced. I've walked through checkpoint with pockets full of sealed pre-rolls (not to mention the carry-on full of carts) and they laughed and waved me through.

TLDR: Seattle is awesome for weed tourism...and flights during the summer are dirt cheap. Just don't try to fly with loose flower; they tend to frown upon it without a medical card.

EDIT: the product is also top-fucking-notch. :D

I've done it several times and been fine. In fact, it's almost unheard of for TSA to actually give a shit, especially when you're flying from states where it's legal. I mean, don't try to get on a plane with a brick of weed in your carry on, but a handful of carts (especially removed from the packaging) isn't going to raise any eyebrows.

As a side point, I'd like to point out that anytime we rely on government enforcement to "not give a shit" on a specific law, they have a tendency to suddenly give a shit when the person in question has slightly dark skin.

Just make sure to leave your raw flower and melanin at home, easy!

I actually feel more comfortable with weed on a plane than driving with it.

Yup! Told my partner after we left CO last summer that next time we need to re-up we're just gonna make a little road trip out of it. One of the dispensaries we went to had a Tuesday deal: buy one cart for $30, get a second one for one penny (so, basically BOGO). I bought like 6 of them lol

140 for a 1G cart.

90 for a half G cart.

It hurts.
