re-learned a valuable lesson on this most-recent trip to Colorado [View all]
There are few things in this country that can create the amount of excitement and awe that happens when a citizen of a marijuana-prohibition state (such as mine) walks into a recreational marijuana dispensary. You kinda lose your mind.
It's natural to ooh and aah over all the beautiful buds on display, and the smells! but if you are in need of saving some money, but still want the good stuff, ask the budtender to show you their SHAKE. This is probably not news to a lot of you, but for those of you who may not yet have taken a vacation to the high lands, think about it.
You can pay from $50-$100 for a quarter oz of beautiful buds, but you can pick up the damn-near same quality SHAKE for perhaps $25-$30 for a quarter oz!
A couple of the budtenders told me that shake is usually what the locals will buy. The tourists go mad on the fully-formed buds. I can see it. Getting a full ounce of shake for $90 or $100?! Woah. Still dreaming about moving to CO.
