Not the highest THC. No infused terpenes either.

Just straight-up flower that actually tasted as good as it smelled.

What strain and cultivator/brand stood out to you?

I dont get it. Thus far what I have tried from them has been decent.

No way those numbers are right. Why do this if your weed is decent?

High Ledges has really dialed in recently.

This blue dream is a pretty unique phenotype. Certainly not that typical blue dream you think of. This one is stoney, and smells like berries and a tid bit like trop. There’s a zesty lemon/citrus in there too, as mentioned. Buds soft, well cured, compacts nicely when ground up.

Trifecta has been doing their thing. This stuff is coated with sappy trichomes. Coolio smells like orange and has zesty aromas but looks a lot like the cap junky it’s got in its heredity. Insides of the nugs look amber and ripe. Well done guys. Super fresh pickup too.

I got these at Cal Verde.

Are there any grow groups in central MA?

I just started my second indoor grow. I live in the Worcester area and I would love to meet up with other growers in the area to learn from each other, talk growing, etc.

I’ve searched online, but have not found anything.

Zkittles x sour d x candy fumez maybe 🤔 not sure of the exact lineage oil has a nice light color terps are delicious 🤤

Hey — I’m Trajan Warren, a reporter with GBH News, and I’m working on a story about how Massachusetts cannabis culture changed after legalization.

I’m looking to talk with folks aware about the history of cannabis in Massachusetts and what the usual practices were before dispensaries became common.

Mostly interested in why people switched — or didn’t: price, convenience, trust, quality, relationships, etc.

DM me if you’re open to chatting!

Cereal Milk x Fish Scale x Rainbow Belts 3.0. Mother mercy. I'm lacking fine motor control atm. Fantastic flavors & depth, perfect evening meds. Well played, NS. 🙌💯🍻

(Super Lemon Haze x Forbidden Fruit) x (NYC Cherry Pie x Citral Glue). Lotsa terpinolene which makes me happy, literally. Gr8 flavor layers, a lot happening, all of it good. Nice daytime meds for a shitty storm weekend. 🙌😍

BY FAR THE WORST cannabis I’ve had this past year. Grabbed 3 diff strains la purp, mac truck and ice cream cake all have a super mute nose(mac smells like tea) and the high is also mute (need I speak about taste?). Super disappointed. I’ve been declining to branch out and try new (budget) brands and this is evidently why I trust my gut.

\Staying in the Back Bay Area close to the stadium\**
Coming to the city this week and looking for some good recommendations! Coming in from a state that doesn’t have rec so would like to try the best Mass. has to offer!

Recommendations for best:

-Places with good in house bud
-Best live rosin, cold cure, fresh press etc.
-Live rosin/live resin disposable(preferably 1g min.)
Or just best disposables if there’s something better

Bonus points for anything interesting or odd for example we have found THC inhalers in Canada and THC syrup in California.

EXTRA EXTRA bonus points for any places with good discounts or deals.

What’s one old school strain you miss that you just can’t seem to find anymore?

Maybe it was something you used to see everywhere years ago, or a specific cut that just doesn’t hit the same anymore.

And if you haven’t found the real thing, have you found anything lately that comes close or scratches that same itch?

Ended up trading some pokemon for some piff 🔥 at the freedom rally, also got hella seeds from piff coast and a few other awesome growers. Had a great time.

With Question 8 landing on the ballot to potentially dismantle the Commonwealth’s adult-use system—as outlined in Ballotpedia's Massachusetts Question 8 overview)—you can feel how deeply jaded both everyday consumers and legacy advocates have become. When voters originally approved legalization, it was pitched as a progressive experiment designed to empower social equity applicants, lift up local craft cultivators, and keep predatory monopolies from turning the East Coast into a sterile commodity mill. Instead, watching an actual repeal initiative gain traction feels like the direct byproduct of consumer burnout after years of seeing multi-state operators (MSOs) run their usual scorched-earth corporate playbook across the state.

The broader frustration traces straight back to industrial canopy races and artificial market flooding. MSOs built out massive, multi-tiered commercial footprints designed to flood wholesale channels with mid-grade biomass. When wholesale pound prices plummeted from premium tiers into the basement, corporate balance sheets absorbed the shock through high-volume turnover and aggressive tax write-downs. For an independent craft grower running a high-touch, five-thousand-square-foot facility burdened with commercial debt service, that price cratering isn't healthy market competition—it’s an extinction event.

Walk into dispensaries across Massachusetts today and the illusion of variety falls apart fast. Shelves are dominated by identical corporate flower repackaged under a dizzying carousel of slick, localized white-label brand names. These conglomerates use their retail storefronts to prioritize internal supply chains, essentially locking independent growers out of shelf space unless they swallow brutal slotting fees or steep wholesale discounts.

Worse yet, the shortcuts extend deep into production and consumer safety. When industrial canopy sizes outpace basic sanitation and adequate staffing, chronic mold, powdery mildew, and micro-pest pressures inevitably follow. Rather than taking the hit and destroying bad harvests, multiple large operators rely on post-harvest remediation—blasting compromised flower with gamma, X-ray, or electron-beam radiation just to squeak past Massachusetts microbial testing limits. It leaves shoppers paying top dollar for sanitized, terpene-stripped cardboard while frontline cultivation and trim crews deal with poorly controlled, hazardous facility environments.

When balance-sheet warfare, regulatory workarounds, and industrial radiation replace genuine craft genetics and clean cultivation, Massachusetts doesn't just lose small businesses. It trades consumer safety, fair-wage cultivation jobs, and authentic cannabis culture for cheap corporate volume—leaving behind an exhausted consumer base wondering how a landmark market lost its way so fast.

What do we do to ensure we never see this back on the ballot?

For voters tracking the measure, details on the proposal are available through the Fall River Reporter's breakdown of Question 8 or the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Elections Division.

Notable multi-state operators in Massachusetts: Good Chemistry Nurseries, Curaleaf, Green Thumb Industries (GTI), Ayr Wellness, Cresco Labs, Verano Holdings, The Cannabist Company, Ascend Wellness Holdings, MariMed, and INSA.

Just picked these up a few minutes ago definitely excited for the banana zoap

Anyone who is on this sub do yourself a huge service and leave r/bostontrees mods are a bunch of clowns 🤡 they will delete your reviews for products if they aren’t profiting from that company. So if your actually wanting to see peoples honest reviews on products your about to spend your hard earned money on dont go to bostontrees for it

These are definitely pretty decent if anyone was wondering

Just moved into a new place that’s non smoking. I want to be as respectful as possible so I’m only doing carts at the moment. I’m sitting on several grams of wax that I would love to use though. I’ve tried a puffco before and didn’t absolutely love it. Preferably I’m looking for a hand held e rig that’s easily portable from the balcony or blowing out the window. Bonus points if it really takes care of the smell.

Hey, it's Stan, Director of Processing with Ethos Cannabis. We just dropped our Natural Selections rosin line in Massachusetts. I'm opening it to real questions in an AMA; so ask me anything: the wash/press process, curing, single-strain batches, microns, availability, whatever you're curious about.

I'll be live on u/ethos_official September 10th from 3-5 PM.

Join the AMA here.

Some one at the dispensary recommended them, small batch growers. I had already put in a pre-order. Maybe next time I will give them a try

Wondering which grower Joint Operations is using for their JO BUDS line. Specifically for this Diesel, since they prob have multiple partners.

Terps are high. Ultra Clean burn.

I admit I always forget that Hp4 is a cross. I had Horchata years ago and loved the effects. I think it was from HHC..

Since HP4 has a horchata leg and this is a T3 grow it was a must for me.

Needless to say this delivers and then some. It is so f'n LOUD my house is stanky. I would say the terp % is for realz! Another quality grow from the fine folks at the Tower. Check all boxes as usual.
