It Finally Happened! My First Legal Dispensary Visit! I Got Weed!
It finally happened! I was out on an adventure yesterday and I put 181 miles on the motorcycle. In my travels I discovered my very first legal pot dispensary! I'm so happy right now! Welcome to Hollyweed!
So I found this on the Seneca Native American Reservation. I was on my way to Pennsylvania when I past this place along scenic Rte. 5. This was about a 1/4 mile in from the reservation border. I drove past, exclaimed "Whoa!" and turned around immediately to investigate!
Oh, the smile on my face and the joy I felt as I was greeted by several mason jars filled with various strains of cannabis and a super friendly budtender who was cool enough to allow me to snap some pictures.
There were several strains of cannabis to choose from. Prices varied from $5 per gram to $50 per gram. I loved that, I don't know how state dispensaries will compete with the native tribes. No idiotic state tax here. These prices are better than street price and better quality too! Granted this place was about an hours drive from my home. It's also like 10 minutes from my favorite beach. I suspect I'll be spending more time at the beach this summer 🤣
I found the experience awesome! I had a female budtender who was very knowledgeable. She allowed me to take some pictures as long as she could stay out of them. It was great talking about the different varieties and strains with someone knowledgeable.
I guess the place just opened a couple weeks back. They have a menu on the wall with some product offerings. The budtender even gave me a tour of the backroom which will be pipes and accessories. They also offer a patio where you can kick back and blaze a little. There were free samples available, but I abstained because I was driving and still had a long way to go. Plus, I've been smoking Delta8 and wasn't sure how the REAL REAL would hit me 🤣 I'm really glad I waited too, more on that in a minute!
I only bought 3 grams. I should have bought more, but I was heading to Pennsylvania to buy fireworks. I didn't like the idea of crossing state lines into Pa. with anything more than a few grams of weed. It's still illegal there. Next time I go back to the dispensary, I'll buy much more. On top of that, I really didn't know what I was doing and just wanted to sample some of the different strains they had.
Here are the 1 gram bags I bought. I don't like the Mylar bags. The reflection makes the buds look bigger than they are. Probably why they present them like this.
This is the close up of the Pluto. I need to improve my weed photography skills. I believe this was $8 a gram. I took a couple hits of each bag when I got home and it was ALL GOOD! Literally! Next time I blaze I'll try one strain at a time.
This photo came out a little better. This is the grape ape. I forget how much the price was but I'm pretty sure it was under $10 a gram. I spent $32 in total. There was also some kind of grand opening discount. I really didn't pay attention to price much though, I just wanted to try some legal weed! I basically bought two cheaper strains and one more expensive strain to see the difference.
OK, this stuff was $20 a gram. The budtender assured me I'd be able to tell the difference and man she wasn't kidding. Two hits of this stuff and you're lit, wasted, blottoed, baked, zonked, choose the slang term of your choice. This stuff is fire! So, so good! Probably the best weed I've ever smoked.
Honestly, I like the mellower strains. I found the Terra Mintz Runtz a little to strong. This will probably be my before bed weed. Seriously, two small hits of this and you're wasted. I could barely function. I don't like being that high. So glad I didn't sit out on the patio and try a little. I would have ended up spending the day on the patio and probably never finished my trip! 🤣
So, legal weed has finally arrived in Western NY state. My overall experience was super positive. I'm so happy I found this place. I'm really happy they're opening on native soil too. No ridiculous sin tax that NY state is imposing. The best part is I'm between two reservations so I should have access to really good weed regularly now!
Smoke 1 for me 💨

That’s awesome! I remember my first trip to the dispensary, I think that is something we all will remember, it really is a big milestone, especially for us who lived the majority of their lives with it being very illegal.
Seems it is a little pricey, but I get it. Being the only place in the area to sell legal herb. I would rather support a business like this vs a large corporation. At least you know your $$ is actually supporting a community:)
Yea,no doubt! It was really nice being able to shop in a knowledgeable and professional environment.
Same here. I'm all about shopping at small business! Plus the people running the smaller places are usually more knowledgeable and much friendlier.
Overall, it was a terrific experience.
Oh and that was real cool of them to let you take pictures! A lot of places here are super strict

Fireworks and weed I like that 🥳
LOL. It was a fun trip :)
nice one, glad it turned out good, and yeah you can really tell the difference on the cheap ones, I hope they stay open when cannabis went legal here in Canada they government was trying so hard to shut all reservations down.
It's going to be interesting to see how they handle it here in NY. For the time being I don't think there's anything they can do about it. I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

Haha.. I can't see this ever happening in the UK. 'Cannabis kills' - the government shoves down our throats. I hear the cops are not as bad as before when you get busted for personal stash. I don't use it myself.
It really took a lot to change that narrative here. The drug war propaganda was terrible. Somehow, the narrative finally changed though. There were a lot of private groups that worked to lobby the government though and change that narrative.
Most places that still have prohibition laws on cannabis, they pretty much just write you a traffic ticket for small amounts. Say anything under 1/2 ounce. There are still places where it can be a huge headache if you get caught with some though. I think Pennsylvania is working on legalization too now though.
For the most part it's working out like this. It's getting legalized one state at a time. Basically, NY is legal and next to Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania will get sick of losing tax revenue from their citizens coming over to NY to buy legal weed and then they'll legalize. Plus, each election the citizens are voting for legalization and there's not much they can do.
Now we just need the federal government to recognize!
I suspect we'll see it legalized one country at a time too, but I'm sure there will be places that hold out, just like with alcohol.
I think I need to visit it sooner than later 😃
Come to NY, we've got weed! 🤣 I try to only vacation in legal states now :)
Nice haha I still remember the feeling of going to Amsterdam for the first time and smoking legal weed. It's a great thing. Hope you get to visit many more.
It really is a great feeling walking into a dispensary for the first time!
Luckily for you and for all of us, that is not legal weed.
Please remember that legalization is a lie. It's really corporate control over a plant that should be free for all to grow and use, overregulation, higher prices, lower quality, and destruction of the cannabis culture. It means more people in prison for growing and selling cannabis. Please, never support "legalized" cannabis. Always use the black (free) market, or the gray market (like the illegal dispensary here in your post).
I totally agree with this. I'm just glad they can no longer use a little weed in my pocket as an excuse to arrest me!
Heheh, yeah, I think that's about the only real upside. We can carry (a little) bud and not get (too badly) harassed by cops! That's the carrot they dangle to get us to accept the rest of the garbage that is "legalization". It appeals to a lot of cannabis lovers... the whole "we will stop messing with you for carrying a couple joints" thing.
Western NY, legal weed? WOW
Enjoy it. !weed
Finally here! It's about time!
