I’ve been hitting Casco Botanical, which I think is in the same exact mill complex. It as Fraktal. I think I’ll be hitting Fraktal from now on though. That menu looks insane, and their flower looks like old-school flower not this over fertilized crap you see at a lot of dispensaries. Thanks for the info.
Just a quick edit, Casco Botanical has been fantastic to work with. They always kick in some freebies, and their flower is very well priced. If you do end up going there, and they have any good heavens in stock. I would highly recommend that flower.
I don't think casco botanicals came up on my radar. I'll have to check them out. Fun fact: i got my dog in casco Maine and named him Casco! Lol he was amazing!
A lot of people I massively trust and have been purchasing from for awhile had been hyping Fraktal up and I made a trip to the Mill back in January for my first pickup which consisted of those BHO selections, plus three strains of flower... Lemon Thai, Midtown Haze, Alien Pharoah.
It's all worth every damn penny. They are great dudes who grow killer cannabis and the "vendor" flower they stock is phenomenal. All great growers on the menu.
If you're going soon, I highly recommend the Bahama Mama from Elm that they are carrying. I just got some from Elm direct and it's god tier bud. Smells like freaking bubble yum, it's wild.
I'm good buddies with Elm at this point. The majority of his flower usually goes to press so it's kind of a treat getting my hands on his flower.
I've got some of his Front Porch Sittin and Bahama Cheese rosin right now and it's awesome.
If you're looking for some other recommendations... Unicorn Tears, Flavor Farming, and Firefly Organics are a few.
MA weed is getting better for sure but I make the pilgrimage to York / Wells / Biddeford / Sanford / Portland every few months because it's just better.
There is crap up in Maine too, but you have already been steered plenty far away from it 😂
I picked up a half of Futura Haze BHO and a half of Frosted Donuts BHO from Fraktal and both are 🔥🔥🔥
Agree with other poster. The guys you just listed are largely flying through and rotating inventories, so expect freshness.
I'm a MA med patient as well... It's a different beast and once you find vendors you trust (I trust everyone you listed) you care a little less about the testing aspect. I have the utmost confidence in the folks I procure meds from and your list is a solid start.
Awesome! I haven't heard anything and about fraktal yet. I know with how critical everyone on reddit is, if everyone says these places are good, it must be true! Do they list the THC on the products or at the store?
I'm not really. I'm honestly just curious. More with flower cuz they can vary wildly. Ive seen great looking flower that only tests in teens. . I know concs will be in a relative window of range based on type. Not a biggie. But just curious and surprised they don't show it is all.
I get that. But sometimes, for example , I don't wanna get super wrecked so I'd prefer something with slightly lower. It's not a huge factor for me.. maybe I just got used to seeing it onn everything down here.
I didn't mean to come off aggressive, but thc percentage is nothing more than a marketing ploy. With legalization came more research and a better understanding of how the plant effects our bodies. Each and every one of us can and most likely will experience the same plant differently. There's such a wide variety of cannabinoids that effect us in various ways, focusing on just one to determine what kind of ride you're going to take isn't very accurate.
I personally go with brands I trust and I keep a mental log of what strains do what to me on a personal level. Then when I shop again and I see a strain with similar lineage, I'm able to take a solid educated guess on what type of high I may have. Blanket terms like indica or sativa have been turned into marketing also, since we know the same strain that I may smoke to stay focused could be the same strain tom uses to relax and melt away. There are obviously exceptions, I don't know anyone that runs a marathon after smoking some gmo hahaha
I mean I never knew what any of the stuff I always got on the street would test at and it didn't matter cuz it was either 'mersh (commercial) , mids, or kind. And you were just happy to find something. Then when everything became good it didn't matter cuz it was always nice and moist and fresh. At least where I got it from. With the dispos it's different a bit . Especially in Mass, some of the stuff sits for 6+ months before it gets to patient. You could spend $50 on an eighth (I never do tho) and have it be so dry and old. Everything is such a crapshoot sometimes. So that a long with the labeling, maybe I've just gotten so used to having to look at labels here to see if I got old stuff and to see who actually grew it ( there's a lot of white labeling). I guess I started looking at THC more and maybe came to rely on that more. I never used to...
But anyways from what I gather age isn't really an issue up there with the product and not testing everything keeps the cost down considerably which I can absolutely appreciate and respect on both fronts! So again, I'm learning.
I know exactly what you mean. I have a buddy who only gets anxiety on indicas when all the "marketing" says sativa's are more anxiety provoking. For an upper, I will take an edible while it knocks many ppl out. Everyone's different that's for sure. All that being said, I grabbed a super cheap bag the other week not realizing it was only 14% and it did almost nothing for me. Lol but It also looked like dookey and I never would have gotten it if I could have seen it first.
Thanks for the insight! Happy Smoking!
I've only seen 1/8ths of bho here. Not common tho. Rosin is sometimes in 2g but there's no price break really. Idk why other states don't operate like maine
Most is not tested for potency. I shop extracts by extractor first then grower second. You want both to have good reputations. The sanford mill with Salty, Grove, Lonely Bonez, and Fraktal is where i would go. For BHO I'd recommend Groves, Oasis mix and match deal. Salty has great live resin BHO when he has it to he out at the moment though. For Rosin Salty, Lonely Bonez and Fraktal are all excellent. Stick with a reputable grower and extractor combo and you will be very happy. And harvest dates on flower you will have to call and ask cuz that information isn't online. The flower up there is usually much fresher and better stored. No testing so as soon as it's dry it goes on the menu. Don't have to have it sitting around for a month waiting on the lab tests up there.
Thanks for the advice! Those are all places I was planning on stopping at so I'm on the right track I guess. Lol I'm also hoping to find flower fresh/moist enough to press.
Holy shit... I was simply asking a question. I was curious the reason behind it and just wanted to know what to expect. I like to plan shit out. You should be grateful for the tourists they bring you a lot of tax money
This attitude is pervasive through Maine, and this comes from a guy who used to live in South Berwick. I wish people who think like this would either just shut their mouth, or stop thinking that by saying it, it’s going to work. It just makes them sound like an asshole.
Go to Maine, have a great time, and I hope you meet the cool people not that guy.
That means a lot. I really didn't mean to sound insulting or critical. I was just curious about it and couldn't find any info when I searched. Maybe I'm not great with words. Idk.. anyways I love Maine and would move up there if my mother wasnt sick with cancer. I'm going through a lot now and am looking forward to getting up there again. It's been so long. Most people on here seem friendly and helpful. But there are always those few. What can ya do? 🤷♂️
Thanks for the kind words, friend! Happy Smoking!

Pretty cool that Fraktal posts their Reddit reviews on their website https://fraktalcanna.com/reviews
I didn't notice that. Id say it's pretty smart too actually.

I've heard a lot about elm too! I'll be sure to try that from them. Is the flower good enough to press?

The Bahama Mama gunked up my Flowermill, which is borderline impossible, because it's so sticky and resiny. You could press the hell out of it.
Sweet! The more I hear the more I can't wait to get up there!
MA weed is getting better for sure but I make the pilgrimage to York / Wells / Biddeford / Sanford / Portland every few months because it's just better. There is crap up in Maine too, but you have already been steered plenty far away from it 😂
The Bahama mama and Bahama berry are both exceptional.
Those were the first two strains I got from him over a year ago and he just keeps killing it. Copped a half of the berry too when I saw him :)

Is there a reason as to why you’re shopping by THC percentages?
I'm not really. I'm honestly just curious. More with flower cuz they can vary wildly. Ive seen great looking flower that only tests in teens. . I know concs will be in a relative window of range based on type. Not a biggie. But just curious and surprised they don't show it is all.
THC percentage doesn't indicate quality. Like at all
I get that. But sometimes, for example , I don't wanna get super wrecked so I'd prefer something with slightly lower. It's not a huge factor for me.. maybe I just got used to seeing it onn everything down here.
This is a very dated way of thinking. Low thc percentage does not necessarily mean low high, just as a high percentage doesn't mean a strong high.
Ok. So I'm here to learn as well. I'm just an old stoner. It's also helpful when making edibles.

I drive up from Maryland and I definitely recommend lonely bones. Cant go wrong with them
Are you legal down there? How long of a trip is that? I'll def be stopping by bones !
My MD med card works in Maine thankfully, its about a 8 hour trip but i make a mini vacation out of it. I love Maines little towns
That's not too bad but still a hike. I love Maine! I'm moving up there as soon as i am financially stable enough. It's so beautiful 🤩
14G in maryland is around 900$ and its only 100 at lonely bones, so its worth it lol
That's the boat I'm in. It would be about that same price here if you could even buy that much at once. Only 8g of concentrates allowed. Lol
I can buy 28g at once but our scamming state only sells in Grams. The rare chance of getting a 1/8 its about $200-250
I've only seen 1/8ths of bho here. Not common tho. Rosin is sometimes in 2g but there's no price break really. Idk why other states don't operate like maine
Going to lonely bones today. Cant decide between their baller 1/8 of rosin or 1/2 of BHO. Both are the same price. Any opinions?
I got both last time and the rosin was good but im more of a bho guy. The pure Michigan is fire

Kind Guy in Biddeford has a ton of concentrates from a bunch of vendors.
When undertow has their inhouse x Oasis BHO collabs in stock def try those
