Is so good! Went to a store in Maine and had tons of concentrates, great bud, and very impressive edible selection. VT’s program is sad, overpriced, and too tightly taxed/regulated. Congrats Vermont, we have the worst cannabis program in the country.

I bought from this dispensary 10-12 times and while it’s mostly low grade, it’s usually a good price and has parking. Last Friday, I bought a 1/4 of Raspberry Parfait and it smelled Ammonia and Cat Piss. I bought gummies and they were practically dissolved on the bottom of the jar. They were delta 9, not hash like I paid for.

My lungs hurt so I discontinued use of it after packing my Pax once with it. The gummies were all melted to the bottom of the container. They were still edible but disgusting and messy. No I didn’t leave in a hot car. Not the end of the world but if you owned a dispensary you’d want to know this information right?

So, I decided to call them today to let them know and the guy on the phone said I should bring the container even though it was empty to show the goo at the bottom of the jar.

I just left after a really 9th state and the guy who worked there was extremely nasty and made me feel scared. I started crying and I am still crying and so upset by how I was treated. Especially as a female to have a man act so mean and rude just is not right.

I never complained to any dispensary about their products but these products were absolutely trash. Just like the owner. Thankfully my harvest will be plentiful and way better quality so I don’t have go buy anything soon enough. But I way I way treated is not OK. I will be sending this complaint to the Cannabis Board. Cannabis is supposed to chill people out , the guy behind the counter is the definition of a jerk. -1 stars for being really shittty people!! 0 stars for shitty products. I

Yesterday's Vermont Edition was, in part, about the cannabis industry in Vermont.

I am not familiar with the person who was interviewed, but I was shocked at how inarticulate and seemingly uninformed they were about even the most basic facts about cannabis in Vermont and the US at large. I'm no expert, and I'm not directly in the industry, but it was shocking to hear the guest "Kris" fail to coherently answer why dispensaries aren't able to smoothly accept credit cards, or why seed pricing seem high, or why Vermont's retail cannabis is all required to be sourced from within the state.

How did the industry let this person represent them on such an important stage? I hope Vermont Growers and other organizations are looking to do some PR and put forth more educated, eloquent voices in the future.

I prefer Faded Fruits, been using them for year, but cannot find them right now. Anyone know who has the 500mg?

Looking for some good fast acting indica edibles for sleep, but not the CBD/CBN kind cause for some reason they keep me awake. I live near White River but anywhere in Vermont is fine. I like the upstate elevator operators raspberry but heard they weren't the best company, so looking for something new. Legal market only please.

When I was looking into getting a license to grow I remember there being a part that said jars should be done like deposits. Did/do any retailers offer this? Is this something that was proposed and never put in effect?

I looked at the updated guidance and it looks like they dropped that part. It makes me happy that my local dispensary still accepts them.

Page 3 of packaging guidance.

6. “Reusable” means packaging that is capable of repeated recovery, inspection, sanitation, repair

if necessary, and reissue into the supply chain for repeated use.

What’s up ?

I thought mine was coming today but I guess not. I will compensate you very well.

I'll be in the Stowe area next week and wanted to know from locals what growers/strains I should be looking for while I'm there. I know Stowe doesn't have any dispensaries, but I'm willing to drive a little ways to grab something that's worth my time and money.

Always heard that Smugglers Notch Sour was one to grab, but the places that usually carry it are out as of right now. Only place I see it currently is at The Gas Station in Rutland. Fortunately coming up from NJ that's on my way to Vermont. Would stopping there be my best bet to grabbing some?

Any help is appreciated.

Vermont Cannabis is special and from personal experience I worry we will all be left with only commercial weed if we don’t support legit small growers making REAL dank wonderful flower and the dispensaries who carry a minimum of 90% of local grown.

Thank you Bud Barn for being one if the few true places in North America (I lived in Canada for a few years) that seems to “get it” and really care beyond the money- the skilled and expert curation of brands all under one roof is not common.

I literally have no connection or stake in this other than my lungs and a multi decades love of cannabis and really just in heaven from the smell, flavor, appearance, and all around drool worthy bud from Forbins Finest and Pinnacle Valley. Not to mention other ones not seen here like Mr. Tree, Family Tree and more🌱❤️

So I'm old. When I was a kid, hash was like playdoh, and super easy to use (hot knives!). These days the hash I get is all drippy and therefore a pain in the ass and wasteful for me. Is there anyone who sells the good ol' clay hash? It used to come from Europe/North Africa. Or should I find a different concentrate to spend my time looking for?

If someone wants it I got it two or three days ago I will take $10

Sure love them colors

I am no longer doing any of my own extractions and I need the space back.

For sale is an EToH Pro large-sized ethanol extractor, and its kid sibling the Source Turbo. These machines can be used independently, but my own workflow has been to use the Pro to reduce the amount of ethanol down to less than 300ml, and then use the Turbo to perform the last steps required to reduce to a pure oil (at which point I would vacuum purge it, but there are several different ways to proceed from there, including allowing the oil to air dry in a glass pan for a period of time).

EToH Pro ($2700 retail): https://extractcraft.com/products/etoh-pro

Source Turbo ($615 retail): https://extractcraft.com/products/source-turbo-extractor

Both of these machines have been used as recently as a couple months ago, and have been stored in a climate-controlled room when not in use. The Turbo is a bit older (2019?) and the Pro is from 2021 or so. The pump unit on the Pro was replaced with a new, upgraded pump pack from ExtractCraft about 9 months ago, and has only been run about a half dozen times since then. The plastic chassis of the Turbo has a crack in the bottom side which does not impact function; other than that I don't see any problems with either unit.

Both machines have been thoroughly cleaned with food-grade ethanol, and I will do an additional wipe down of all surfaces before boxing them up, to ensure there's no tiny bits of oil on any surface.

Also included, for a local buyer (not pictured, as I also have this listed online, and it's not worth the hassle of shipping some of this stuff):

* Edgestar medical freezer (brings ethanol down to below the point where polarity switches, for cleaner extractions)
* Vacuum purge chamber & vacuum pump
* Large (1gal) buchner funnel with fitting for vacuum pump
* Vacuum purge mats

I am happy to talk any buyer through the basic process I have always followed at time of purchase; I am not looking to provide any ongoing support. However, ExtractCraft have always been quite responsive when I had any questions.

Here's a picture of some extract I made with this setup:

edit: I am up near Bristol but I will deliver to anywhere between Burlington and Brandon, no charge.

It's about that time and I know that there are badged employees out here who are available for work and suspect there are some licensed establishments who will be looking for some seasonal labor.

This is a thread for employers seeking assistance and for workers seeking employment.

Feel free to share recommendations of establishments who have been great employers, skilled individual workers/companies who you would recommend, or companies to avoid...
