I have been partoking for 45 years. I’m not used to having A choice, let alone this many choices… I feel like I need to go to all of the places and try all of the things! I’d love to hear from any fellow Floridians about their favorite dispensaries etc…
Not in FL, but also check out the great variety and decent prices you can get online - hoku seed co, eight horses hemp, secret nature, flow gardens, …
Basically once you try enough to know “what works” for you. I took me about 2 years. Then I would just go in and find get that thing and occasionally try a new thing.
I was in a similar boat before I moved to California, took about 4 or 5 years for it to seem totally normal for me to stroll into a store and walk out with a cornucopia of amazing shit that my younger self would have drooled over. Takes a lot to overcome decades of the kind of conditioning that makes you incredibly excited to even get a bag of seedy, twiggy, schwag.
Work there. Either in the store or the grow. That tends to sand off the shine. It’s still great, but you’ll no longer hold up a line.
Fluent is pretty terrific
It’s not a non-profit endeavor, but I find leafly.com to be a great resource
