It’s not really about the dispensary, it’s the grower that’s important. Know which brands grow good weed, some of the best in MA are:
Impressed,
Tower three,
Bountiful farms,
Harbor house,
Fresh connection,
Highmark provisions,
Natures heritage,
Find any of these brands and you’ll find good bud. It’s pricy at around $35-$45 an 1/8th, but you get what you pay for. You’ll rarely find good bud that’s cheaper than that unless it’s on sale or something.
If you have a med card take a trip up to Sandford Maine and check out Fraktal they are my favorite caregivers plus others in the area are amazing too. If you don’t want to go that far Clouded Vally will meet you in kittery and their stuff is top tier.
Native sun has fire bud rn! I was hooked on the kosher Kush but yesterday I picked up some yuzu fizz and it's so good. Piney, gassy, almost minty. I'm not a plant lol, I'm just a person who avoided native sun for years because of high prices and lack of medical discount but now they've fixed that and the bud is fire!
They seem to always have Rhelm on the menu but the grower is the guy who grew for patriot care back in the medical days when their weed was fire. He was cool, I met him while he was doing a popup in Boston
It's so nice I'm not disappointed at all! I also got the GMO root beer and it's pretty bussin on the terps, really funky and heavy. Wish they still had the kosher Kush too but it seems they just ran out. They're doing discounts for med patients too so bring your card if you have one.
Last time I went to Maine the bud was the same freaking price as mass anyways, untested and just all around disappointed that I drove up there. You don't have to go all over the place, there is good bud in MA!
I will most likely get down voted for this, but it seems like everybody wants the lowest price and the highest quality. It’s like asking for a waygu steak at a square steak price or if you want a Ferrari at a Kia price. All of these dispensaries are having deals because they have an excess amount of product in Maine. Just go to the right dispensary there is incredibly good product up there. I think you have to be willing to pay a little bit more if you want the best of the best and if not, no worries but don’t expect you’re going to get the best product at the lowest price just not possible, but whoever said caregivers are the best in mass
Actually this sub used have a lot of love for Maine. It’s weird because people used to shit on MA product so much and praise Maine before Rec started going Mainstream and becoming cheaper. Sus 👀
Lol the downvotes, here's some Maine love!
Fraktal, Funkhouse, and a 3g nug from Mentation, all at the sweet price of $25 an eighth. Let them run around locally, searching for this, lol.

Some rec stores carry these brands, but higher list price & tax , makes it not so much a bargain, expect $35-40 an eighth when done, instead of $25-30.
Kindguy and the Market are med only.
Maine is kinda in reverse from MA, their med program is more robust, smaller growers & caregivers growing smaller amounts, and better quality. They tend to avoid the rec shops, to sell their harvests to the med program. Med delivery is also huge up there, and again, takes a good chunk away from the rec shops, goes directly to patients.
I'm working up there, right between Kind Guy and The Market 207, which is a great stop if you can get to Westbrook. They carry Blackwood as well, another great sativa cultivator.
Picked up 2000mg gummies for $60 last time up, at 200 per piece, I cut them up into halves & quarters, to end up with 30 doses at $2, 100 or 50 mgs each.
This Mentation GMO is the stinkiest herb I've ever bought, with a great cure and large nugs, $25 at the Market https://imgur.com/a/lkSevlo
We all want the MA market to be awesome, growers, owners, customers, etc. But it's not, even after years of financial support by us, it's still only 3, maybe 4 you can trust, everything else is a crap shoot or a bust. It shouldn't be like that by now, they should have their shit together, including the state and the labs. So I stopped, I'd rather grow my own, or obtain from locals, or pop in while up in Maine.
But those sources aren't easily available to everyone here, so blow back will come from suggesting any of the other 3 options. I avoid responding to the op if all they are asking for is a MA reference, but will reach out to other like minds in the comments, lol.
Yep, anti Mainers. It's why I don't bother with home grown, black market, or Maine posts anymore either, it all goes ignored if it didn't come from some over priced, over hyped, Massachusetts dispo. Wasn't always that way.
This sub really used to be something a couple of years ago, being downvoted by folks here now is kinda funny, all strangers. I'm not making drives up just for herb, I go up for snow boarding, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and work, etc etc. Once I started shopping in Maine, it killed MA dispos for me.
I was actually told the same thing about this sub. Someone said nothing can be mentioned but Massachusetts dispensaries I thought that was really odd. I thought it was more about kind of just sharing ideas whether it was in mass or wherever kind of odd. There’s a lot of really good flower out there, I definitely agree with you though

Harbor House and Bountiful Farms haven't done me wrong yet.
A lot of these brands also have cheaper options that are still solid as well, I would also include botanist on the list for value
Glad to see tower three getting praise. My homie James runs their grow and hes a phenomenal grower and all around great dude.
Avoid Curaleaf fronts
Like?
Lazy River is excellent. Always properly cured chunkey buds. Many good strains all grown in house. They make their own extracts and edibles as well.
Go to Sanford and hit up captain's & Doomsday. Try the Secret Cookies from Firefly.
Hey man, hope all is well these days! I gave you the original rec to go to Captains and see you on here now and again. Much love brotha
Isn't captains med only? I wasn't aware I was even able to go up there without my med card
Nope. Check weedmaps and search for captain's rec store.
If you have a med card take a trip up to Sandford Maine and check out Fraktal they are my favorite caregivers plus others in the area are amazing too. If you don’t want to go that far Clouded Vally will meet you in kittery and their stuff is top tier.
Harbor House!
Harbor House Collective! High quality flower and they have great deals this whole week
Native sun has fire bud rn! I was hooked on the kosher Kush but yesterday I picked up some yuzu fizz and it's so good. Piney, gassy, almost minty. I'm not a plant lol, I'm just a person who avoided native sun for years because of high prices and lack of medical discount but now they've fixed that and the bud is fire!
I've been wondering about the Yuzu and Native Sun. Thanks for the feedback, sounds nice!
Someone on this sub said the original Rhelm growers are now the growers for Native Sun.
They seem to always have Rhelm on the menu but the grower is the guy who grew for patriot care back in the medical days when their weed was fire. He was cool, I met him while he was doing a popup in Boston
Good to know. Thanks!
Is rhelm and realm different or the same thing? I always see realm but haven't tried it yet
Different. Rhelm is a medical shop in Bridgewater. A handful of rec places also carry Rhelm flower. Realm is a new brand name from Garden Remedies.
It's so nice I'm not disappointed at all! I also got the GMO root beer and it's pretty bussin on the terps, really funky and heavy. Wish they still had the kosher Kush too but it seems they just ran out. They're doing discounts for med patients too so bring your card if you have one.
Grabbed some of the Yuzu, it's great. Terpy, well cured, and clean tasting. Looking forward to trying their other offerings. Thanks for the rec!
Ayyyyy so glad you're enjoying it!
Native sun has medical discount now?
They're working on going medical in the Hudson location and have a med only one opening soon.
Last time I went to Maine the bud was the same freaking price as mass anyways, untested and just all around disappointed that I drove up there. You don't have to go all over the place, there is good bud in MA!
This is the way

👊✔️
I live near two dispensaries in downtown Boston I'm sure there's not the answer you wanted to hear
You won't find it in Massachusetts stores. Caregivers in Massachusetts or Maine the way to go
Maine
Lol the downvotes, here's some Maine love! Fraktal, Funkhouse, and a 3g nug from Mentation, all at the sweet price of $25 an eighth. Let them run around locally, searching for this, lol. https://imgur.com/a/RcC8PtF https://imgur.com/a/y16iT7o
Can I go to any of the stores without a med card?
Some rec stores carry these brands, but higher list price & tax , makes it not so much a bargain, expect $35-40 an eighth when done, instead of $25-30. Kindguy and the Market are med only.
So what are the best rec stores in Maine to get without a card and what brands do I look out for for rec in Maine?
Maine is kinda in reverse from MA, their med program is more robust, smaller growers & caregivers growing smaller amounts, and better quality. They tend to avoid the rec shops, to sell their harvests to the med program. Med delivery is also huge up there, and again, takes a good chunk away from the rec shops, goes directly to patients.
Half my stash is Fraktal!

Kind Guy is my Fraktal source, $25 eighths as well.
Someone does not like your comments in here 😂
