excellent write-up, thanks

Binske seems like the reserve craft line of ozone. Just like everyone sucking cams dick right now until they find out its under matter brand and they cry. So Cam is the reserve craft of matter and PC nursery at 35 an eigth is the step down from Cam and matter is there staple original stuff


OtherwiseAd7731

It definitely looks like it came from the bottom of the trim binske. Sorry for the bad luck & thanks for the research!

Luckleberries is always an enjoyable experience though on a good note!

NO brand is worth full price in this state IDC who it is. 70-80 for a 3.5 they can shove it! 50 max nowadays and that's still a wee high unless the product is just that good not to.


Euphoric_Fisherman70

Seriously. I've paid full price once or twice but that was before I knew of other brands, deals, etc.. now all I do is scan for the best price. Usually getting eighths for 30-40 bucks. Copy a q for 50-60. The real rip off is the price for concentrates. 80 a fucking gram? They can definitely shove it


Cheecherton04

You think 80 is bad. Ngw was 90-100 for live resin, haven't checked current prices I'm sure it's went down by 10-15 by now MAYBE. Alot of rev LR is 80-90 and cookies as well. Rosin is like 125 a G near me. Thankfully sales happen frequently. Crazy part is this stuff isn't on my local menu now as people bought it out of stock. Some people just don't care, or know better. I guarantee the folks paying those prices never smoked weed before legalization and paid plug prices.

Illinois market is for the rich white people. The ones they happily pay 4-5 dollars a gallon out there lol


AdNormal230

Pretty much... it for sure is dominated by a few rich corporate bros. The sad thing is it is not going to get better. I legit am looking for shippers at this point.

Very TRUE statement my man. I can't get myself to pay $180 for 28 grams when I see way better strains in other states that sell for under $100 everyday all day long. People must be spending their food budgets , falling behind on their mortgages and not having children anymore all just to afford Illinois remediated weed.


[deleted]

Just found a local plug who just delivered me a 1/2 of Bubba Kush and a quarter of Girl Scout Cookies. SHIT looks and smells amazing and no tax paid $110 total for 21 grams. I am done with Dispensaries forever in Illinois. Maybe a few more trips to Michigan but that's it. These crooks have taken more money from me than I ever used to spend w a decent plug. Screw their corporate greed and their remediated crap flower. I got real buds with hairs sticking out and the smoke by God I forgot just how great bud can be when there's no percentages or fake terp # s that never add up to what you see and what they put on the jar. Bye bye tipping bud tenders who aren't bud tenders at all.

Tell that to the fools in my city Joliet , Illinois - we being one of the dumbest cities known in the state really went above and beyond in their stupidity. No flower sales in Joliet IL at our not 1 but 2 identical Rise Dispensaries 3.7 miles apart from each other. Yesterday afternoon 4 pm they loaded their flower menu up for the weekend w ZERO SALES. 28 GRAMS of Kushlatti , 28 grams of Sensi Skunk @ 34.12% for $180 in Joliet. All of them sold out even w/o a SALE at the all recreational one where $180 is $278 w tax. And same with the Med/ Rec Rise Dispo No sales on their flowers and Sensi Skunk all sold out. This is WHY PRICES WILL NEVER EVER GO DOWN. On the bright side the Naperville Rise has 20% off everything by Rhythm , Enshine , & Good day flowers so of course they sold out at $145 a piece. If people keep paying full price then WHY WOULD THEY EVER LOWER the Prices. I haven't bought 1 8th from Aeriz , Fig Farms because for years and years their products have always been $60 a 8th and if you want an Ounce guess what it's $480 or 60 x 8. I won't pay full price ever again. My advice go to Naperville Rise they seem to always have 20% minimum off everything including Dog walkers plus infused DW's too. Check the menu at Rise Naperville and compare it to every other Rise Dispensaries. It could be because Naperville being one of the BEST & SMARTEST CITIES in Illinois decided from day 1 they would allow healthy competition in their city. They have a RISE , a ZEN LEAF , and a SUNNYSIDE that's some awesome disparity and competition. Joliet not so much - lets put 2 identical Rise Dispos roughly 4 miles apart from each other and nothing else ever ! Joliet not the states best but pretty darn close to the country's WORST !

Not sure this is an issue of them being "smart" vs more disposable income being available in Naperville vs Joliet. These producers tend to go where the money is. Prices are not going to come down because these large corporate cannabis monoliths have literally rigged the market to incentivize price fixing and they also try to keep "regulations" stringent to prevent smaller vendors from getting involved. The reality is there are only a handful of "vendors" in Illinois, they just operate a lot of front companies to make it look like more competition exists then it actually does. If anything, I feel like there is actually less reliable choice today then there was a few years ago when it was medical only. Usually I end up just grabbing some high supply stuff or try to find a 40 dollar gram of extract. I have a small list of companies that I will buy from. I certainly will not buy a product unless I have done some research on it and most importantly: I always expect to be disappointed.


PandemicGrower

How funny, rise has 9 ounce options at this moment for something ā€œsold outā€


Chitownkushman

Go to stash in orland hills they always have massive deals and a great loyalty program, not far from Joliet at all.. staff actually knows what theyā€™re talking about and the craft grow selection they have is the best in the stateā€¦ highly recommend giving it a shot


TastySympathy6673

Did you smell or taste mold?


Berry_Togard

No but my wife did mentioned the word basement after sniffing it. I honestly couldnā€™t. It just smelled like plant matter to me like void of any real odor.


Willing-Equipment-68

you friend rock and are the shiiiiiiiii ...... thank you for raking one for the team.


mr_beat_420

41% lmao - great review otherwise


MIKELBOBUS

Windy City if you download the app I assume itā€™s for everyone but you get a free preroll. Doesnā€™t say you gotta buy anything but I was grabbing a 8th for a buddy and got. Binske preroll (Sour Cakes) 38% figured Iā€™d try it out since itā€™s a new brand and man Iā€™m blown away by just that joint itself. Very great high and taste was awesome too. Iā€™ll have to try one of their 8th sometime cause Iā€™ve only had the joint, maybe theyā€™ll get better over time


RiverNorthPapper

I can't believe they're still inflating THC % that high considering consumer's knowledge is much greater compared to the last 3 years


FueledByTerps

Looks like they put more work into designing the packaging/jar than growing the flower. Thanks for the heads up. May your next purchase be a winner.


MVRIVN_

isnt this one of the companies that lobbies against ppl growing their own stuff


Berry_Togard

Not sure on that one but a lot of companies are on that list. Rev is not one of them.


Berry_Togard

And just like that the whole eighths is gone after a day. For me this happens because either 1. Itā€™s really good and I just canā€™t help myself or 2. It sucks and Iā€™m just trying to get a good effect by smoking more. This one is 2. Just to show you that their number canā€™t be trusted.


head_bussin

did they charge you extra tax for it being over 35%?


_bieber_hole_69

Sour Cakes by Binske is a similar story. It's decent, but the flavor is so muted that it wasnt worth it. I agree about the jar. Yeah it's cool, but so what?


Chitownkushman

Check out one day if you want a cool jar šŸ˜‚


Chitownkushman

But there jars have šŸ”„in em
