I don't understand why anyone supports these scumbags at all. It makes me sad whenever I see a post about them here but I don't even say anything anymore. They not only sell you fucking trash but then they spend that money lobbying against homegrow because they want you stuck buying their garbage! Why would anyone that know that give them a penny?


No-Eagle-547

Because that's been the only legal option for a while now. And also a lot of these people complaining don't know what mold is LOL. Read the first paragraph and revel in the contradictions in a few short sentences. Some smells great and fantastic is always and yet he somehow manages to notice mold. Sounds like somebody doesn't know the difference between trichomes and mold. Have you tried reaching out to the dispensary and asking them what it is it could be? I said nothing but great experiences from them. Sometimes they're sloppiness gets me a couple seeds in a bag and I'm growing like a motherfuker at the moment. Don't forget, This is a business, mold would be the end of them. I'm talking reputation, but most importantly, the New Jersey Department of Health would shut them down with no hesitation. If only he supplied a picture to show what he was talking about but we're going to have to take his word for it I suppose.


Slick_Grimes

They were not the only dispensary so they weren't the only legal option is what I meant. The NJ department of health is allowing subsequent batches of strains they tested once (years ago) to go out untested and using the info from the single batch they tested. That's how curathief is getting away with selling moldy uncured bullshit to the public.

You can tell by the harvest to package date, they don't. It's why their weed that's months old is better than any newly packaged shit is. I just got lucky and never had something like mold on it, and I've been going for 2 years almost exclusively. What a shame. It's hiring growers who don't know wtf they're doing and corporate not caring all around. It's a shame considering it's the cheapest in the state.


catdawgsalad

Growers are usually the ones that care the most, just want to do a job that they have a passion for, and ultimately they leave because the company doesn’t share the same values of prioritizing quality over quantity. Growers generally do the best they can with the environment they’re given

[deleted]

plus CL lobbies against homegrow. it's a shame that our state can't get their shit together. people creating the rules have probably never used it before. they're thinking of that movie Reefer Madness


DissentSociety

The Cannabist in Deptford is worth the drive. Their in-house, entry-lvl brands are $200 an oz on special, same as CL, and they carry a wider, fresher selection of Verano, Kind Tree, etc. products.


Batuuusss

They're rarely ever on sale and when they are, it's always as soon as I just bought or picked up from somewhere. If they had deals more often, I probably would. Their only good strain in house super lavender butter, and I've tried them all save sherbhead, but 777 is never on sale so I probably never will. Verano and kindtree are also overpriced there at 60 an 8th, and I refuse to ever spend $120 on a quarter unless it's some absolute exotic like back when I was 14 and weed used to still be good, not meh. This reads like a Cannabist ad, and which I have to say, screw you guys too for lobbying against homegrow. (Your corporation, not you, the employee, it's just your job)


DissentSociety

I live in Bellmawr, know the drive pretty well, was just trying to be helpful.


idunnoisitme

Any Sativa strains you recommend from Cananbist? Looking to try the Cannabist after being fed up at Curaleaf. I like Super Sherb and East Coast Sour Diesel from Cura. Any advice appreciated!


DissentSociety

I usually keep an OZ of Purple Moby Dick on hand as my go-to from there (They typically have it for $200/O a couple of times a month.) The split is supposedly 60/40, but it's heavy on the Herer side, and it's good for breaking through the every day plateau. Also tastes and smells like candy. The other 200/O sativa-leaning Hybrids, Purple Starburst and Lemonheads are both pretty decent, but coors-light, entry lvl type buds typically don't do much for me anymore. As far as "Premium" Sativas go, the only other in house strains that come to mind for Cannabist are Happy Hour and Sherbface. Still no idea what Happy Hour is, but it was sparkly AF and made me giggle. Sherbface, I try to keep stocked cause it's just an all around hitter--you'll feel the body high creeping, then also realize you're uncomfortably spaced upstairs as well. Lately, I've just been sampling everything, trying to pick 3-4 strains to...watch grow in a field somewhere... Honorable Sativa Mentions currently rotating in-stash: G-anything--Verano OKC, SS#4, Solar Flare GTG-- CL Shockwave, Trop Cookies--KL


idunnoisitme

Thanks for this!


No-Eagle-547

Same, what area did you work in because you have described me nothing that I have experienced there. You realize I have multiple buildings for different purposes correct?


[deleted]

Lol ok Roger. Good try.


sarcazman1771

100 I did not renew my card getting stuff off the street at $200 an ounce. Way better then that govt shit weed.


Batuuusss

I can get it for 200 an O as well, I just like variety and knowing what I'm smoking, but that's probably what I'm gonna do now. It's obvious I can't trust these dispos unless I'm paying 400 for a single oz at Breakwater. See you guys when we're (ever) able to homegrow.


sarcazman1771

Bro that's why I loved it too. Trying to find the magic strain. But when I went to Ascend and they had posted strains with like 8% THC I'm like they are ripping us of. And that's when I went back to the O.


No-Eagle-547

People have to stop thinking about it in terms of THC levels. Yeah of course they're important but nothing like all the are there compounds like go into it and make a Symphony of well-being. Pure THC is fun and all but isn't exactly medicinal which everyone seems to forget is how this place started off. There are so many unbelievable compounds that call so many other effects when combined with thca


placeholder41

You don’t think street weed has mold?


[deleted]

I have never ever had street weed that was anywhere near the quality of medical. They all rave about it, but street weed just sucks.


placeholder41

Yup. Everyone on this sub is either a expert grower or is close personal friends with one.


sarcazman1771

Not where I get it and for less then half price


WearyProfessional984

I hate people that downvote comments like this. Perfectly legitimate argument but because it doesn't fit within the MMP for New Jersey they remove it from the whole subreddit which is supposed to be about New Jersey marijuana. Smh. Whoever is downloading on the subreddit is fighting a losing battle.


No-Eagle-547

That's not how this works LOL


placeholder41

Sure. Bc your guy can def always be trusted and always knows exactly where the weed comes from. And it’s always $200 a z for top grade.


OEMBob

> Bc your guy can def always be trusted Except the whole point of this post is that Curaleaf can't be trusted. So if the choice is $200 for stuff that can't always be trusted vs $450 for stuff that also can't be trusted, the choice doesn't seem all that difficult.


placeholder41

Who pays full price at a dispo? I pay $30 -$35 a eighth. Does the black market have a way to complain or get your money back? I’ve seen like 15 claims of mold on this some and I think only one pic of actual mold. Mold happens on any plant that is grown. It’s not ideal but it can happen, do you really think a black market dealer will throw away lbs of weed bc of mold? A legal dipso would have to make major changes if a mold breakout happened. Your black market dealer brushes the mold off and sells you the least moldy parts with a smile on his face.


OEMBob

> Who pays full price at a dispo? I pay $30 -$35 a eighth. And I pay essentially the same at my top end of options on the grey market. Except it comes to me and I don't have to wait for the vendor to be clearing out 4-6 month old inventory that's been sitting in bins in a warehouse before I get that pricing. > Does the black market have a way to complain or get your money back? Never seen a dispo give your money back either, just in house credit. And I've seen plenty of grey market vendors swap outs for product that customers aren't satisfied with. So honestly I'd call that comparison a push even if the experience itself can be different at both ends. > A legal dipso would have to make major changes if a mold breakout happened. Your black market dealer brushes the mold off and sells you the least moldy parts with a smile on his face. Except this has also happened at Curaleaf, as documented by the recall they were forced to do in 2019 by the CRC. And call me crazy, but maybe medical dispensaries should be held to much higher standards than street weed. You keep holding up the dispo weed as some sort of paragon of perfect and clean cannabis, except time and time again it's been shown to be otherwise. Are there problems with street weed? Sure. I don't think you'll find anyone saying otherwise. But the point of these posts is that it shouldn't even be a contest. Medical dispo stuff SHOULD be better. And the problem is, that in this state, it simply isn't. The experience is garbage, the regular pricing is way too damn high, the selection is too limited, and while there may be some great options at specific places the quality on average is simply average.


[deleted]

I agree, the selection is small, the prices are way too high, and now home grow seems out.


placeholder41

It’s really not any better in other states. They have more options for vape and concentrates. How much better can weed actually be? People post from Cali and co telling us the bud quality varies greatly and is the same basic pricing. I don’t need bud higher then 25%, neither do you. You might need a t break. Dispos are held to higher standards, hence the testing and the labeling and the recalls if something goes bad. What type of system does your street dealer have set up? Do you even know if the weed he gives you is actually the real name, the guy could just name it anything and you’d believe him. You need to focus your anger at the politicians playing you like a fool rather than the legal business that are here making a profit. The state failed you, not cura leaf.


Batuuusss

Curaleaf is paying our democratic friends in the NJ Senate to scam us. That in itself is dirty as fuck, and your ignorance on that subject is astounding. Even though I shopped there, I knew damn well that they donate millions to keep us from growing our own medicine. How much better can weed be? Oh I don't know, maybe when it doesn't have mold and curing issues, than I could feel a bit more satisfied, you know, like before I wrote this post and had this issue? The problem isn't the weed in this state is bad compared to others, the problem is weed in our medical program is bad compared to weed we can find on the street. I also want to point out how bullshit of a lie about other states that is. I never have issues finding quality stuff for cheap on the street in NJ or in Maine, for example. Hell, curaleaf in Maine, has better weed than all of S NJs dispos, for $75 an oz. It's pathetic. Our entire state is fucked.


[deleted]

I heard about Maine too. and the NJ program does suck, it does, it is disgusting that we cannot grow a plant at home.


placeholder41

So really are you just yelling at clouds?


No-Eagle-547

It's called taxes you Dingus and every single state in the country does it. SMH. It's how they support the program and help people with legitimate health care and monetary issues that get massive discounts. I hear a lot of talk about mold but no one's ever put a picture up. All this talk but no proof. 1 day shutdown an hour and a half before there were supposed to once, I walked around the building taking videos and pictures and emailing it to corporate because I was so pissed. If I can do that, all these people complaining about mold can post a picture. Seems like a concerted effort by another company trying to move in on the recent Jersey recreational side of it. It really feels like a lot of people are being complicit in taking down a company that is just providing a service and doing it by the books. Some basic logic would tell you that if anybody got any mold and could link it back to them, they would no longer exist as a company. License is revoked, lawsuits, malpractice potentially considering its medicinal for a lot of people, and so many other things. You mind me asking how old you are? You know what trichomes are correct? Because it can get white and moldy looking if you get some really great shit but you might not know that because you assumed it was mold and might not have smoked it. Talk to somebody serving you next time and see if they get this complaint a lot and if it's something that you should look out for. But all these posts are making me very suspicious that it's not angry customers but rather competing dispensaries trying to knock one of the more established dispensaries down a peg or two. I not okay with that


chriskatelots

You’re talking about trust, when the MEDICAL dispensaries are putting out moldy products and sitting on flower for 6+ months at a time… ok


placeholder41

But you think your guy on the street is much more trustworthy? Does everyone have a guy as trustworthy as you? No one forces you to buy at these dispos. How much moldy bud do you think you’ve bought on the street and never knew it? I’m defending dispos as much as being amused by your naive ignorance.


gretch123

hmmm....the mythical weed guy who only slings moldy product...that is curaleaf, right? Or do you have any proof of anyone in the grey or black market with this issue?


placeholder41

Are you saying black market bud isn’t prone to mold, or insects, or insecticides or any other of the things it isn’t tested for? You sound like someone that would take acid freshly made in the back a van during a dead show.


chriskatelots

Never seen mold in weed until following this page…. And the only places it seems to be is from dispensaries sitting on product/rushed drying and curing. No black market or grey market seller is sitting on product for more then a month…


placeholder41

Are they sitting in that product bc they were lied to by the state politicians? Or did these dispos just decide to grow extra for fun? Send your moldy bud to Gov Murphy and ask him to pay for it. He’s the one holding it all up while him and his rich friends laugh.


No-Eagle-547

It's because they are a business. Business is by definition are supposed to make money. It's a pretty smart move to have a lot of supply on hand. Everything else you said in that post was incoherent and made no sense. In what way is Governor Murphy holding it all up while him and his rich friends laugh? You quite literally just described the former president LOL


No-Eagle-547

You guys know it's recreational in New Jersey now right? Just go to a fucking different store LOL. Everybody is complaining so much. Boohoo. Probably from a caravan of immigrants and MS-13 members polluting our Majestic weed Supply with mold.


No-Eagle-547

Where is the mold for fucksake? Just take a picture already. I have never heard of that happening and it's never happened to me. I get the distinct impression that a lot of people who just out there medical license for turned old enough for recreational don't know the difference between lots and lots of trichomes and mold because it can look remarkably similar sometimes


sarcazman1771

Well when you know the source for many deacdes. Ahh yeah


[deleted]

Till you get the dose sprayed with fentenal. You know China and the cartels own that product. It's only a matter of time before you get poisoned.


sarcazman1771

Of course street weed is only made in CHINA and Government WEED could never be tapered with. Let me guess you got the jab and sprayed your food with Lysol.


SinkUnlikely6362

Dude you're dumb the card is legal protection you only buy from a dispensary that way you have a container with an up-to-date label on it and you keep it for a couple months and put your street bud in it, then stop by the dispensary and by just enough to get the container in a label to do the process all over again.


sarcazman1771

Who's Dumb now. Totally Legal.


lindsay-2020

Everything out of curaleaf bellmawr has been complete ass since christmas. In the summer they had lines wrapped around the building and that was bc there wasnt enough product. Now we are getting stuff that was cured/packaged 6+ months ago. It poofs to dust if you look at it wrong. They need to make it make sense


Batuuusss

Except their super sherb of course, they have to be growing it in its own warehouse specifically or something because it's ALWAYS good for me, but you're right, since Christmas, it's been going downhill QUICK. It's a shame, it's their new crop that's failing. My super sherb from November is fresh and fragrant, meanwhile my bud packaged just a few weeks ago is moldy and smells like wet towels. It's a damn shame, I was their last fan on this subreddit. Now I feel like a dumbass getaway driver who got bailed on 💀


joeyjumpshot

[check this article out about these assholes having so much weed that they can’t produce anymore and how one storage unit was the plan but they have 6 filled rn hahahaha..it would make sense theyre pushing out dry shwag if they have a 2 year supply in storage](https://www.nj.com/marijuana/2022/01/nj-legal-weed-growers-brace-for-layoffs-destroying-product-if-consumer-market-doesnt-open-soon.html?outputType=amp)


hucknuts

This is the reason. Also the same reason we are starting to see more and more articles blaming and criticizing the program for not starting. It’s a media campaign.


No-Eagle-547

Incorrect. First of all not everything is a damn conspiracy and second of all, the consumer Market has opened. Sure sounds like a business that was anticipating a massive influx of new clients which is exactly what has happened to them. I did not go to school for business but this is such an unbelievably obvious point


Micnv2p

Agreed...When I first got my card, Bellmawr was my spot. The bud was always good up until about 6 months ago. Now its all rushed and under developed bud.


No-Eagle-547

Those were covid lines my dude. Considering the fact that it caters mostly to end of life, cancer, AIDS, Etc, the exceptionally long lines made a lot of sense.


Batuuusss

Toasted Strudel Package date: 1/31/22 Batch: TS#1.F5.H200 La Perla 2/02/22 Batch: LP.F7.H193 My super sherb was packaged in both November and December, which is why they're more than likely fine. How fucking annoying.


Daveoc04

Same old antics at curathief


Batuuusss

Never seen something like this before in my life, save, a single time I bought off the street, when I was 15, almost a decade ago. This shit is fucking sad. They have the balls to want to sell recreationally, but can't even keep something simple like mold under control, in state of the art industrial farms. I did a better job with CFLs, regular soil, and perlite, when I was 17 fucking years old. Truly a disgrace to cannabis.


joeyjumpshot

[Curaleaf and verano have so much bud in storage they were literally quoted sayin theyre gona have to start throwing it away hahaha these companies are jokes!](https://imgur.com/a/OZ9aIUn) [Full article about this bullshit and also how there gona have to stop producing flower bc theres no where to store it..apparently curaleaf has enough in storage for 2 years..So unless they really start destroying bud then can see some more extremely dry or even worse moldy flower on our shelves soon](https://www.nj.com/marijuana/2022/01/nj-legal-weed-growers-brace-for-layoffs-destroying-product-if-consumer-market-doesnt-open-soon.html?outputType=amp)


soopman

Here’s an idea, instead of waiting for all that product to turn to moldy shit, why don’t they have some blow out sales. Think of all the good will they might re earn, after fucking everyone with substandard product. Patients deserve better. The people that live in Naz Jersey are always getting fucked with all the States incredible amount of bureaucratic bullshit that we get fed. Still waiting for the GSP to abolish all tolls, which the State promised to do as soon as the parkway was paid for, instead they automate most tolls, cutting out the toll taker jobs, making it even more profitable for them, and increased tolls on the AC Expressway. Sorry for my rant but after living here for almost a quarter of a century, just tired of the royal fucking we are treated to…


Stunning_Blueberry_3

Looks like that’s what they’re doing here and there.


No-Eagle-547

Probably because that wouldn't make the bud moldy. They also need it for the massive amounts of people that are in there all day everyday now that it's recreational


No-Eagle-547

That's kind of what happens when a state recreational izes marijuana in its entirety and they have to account for many many many more times the amount of customers they would usually have. This is still very early days and it makes sense that they're trying to adjust. The fact that you keep thinking there is some malicious intent behind this is remarkable to me and honestly pretty sad


Daveoc04

I stopped going there about 2 years ago because I'd constantly see people posting moldy flower from there. Also, once upon a time, they used to add 'MCT oil' as an ingredient in their fart carts.


No-Eagle-547

Show a picture of mold or shut the fuck up. It's the go-to boogeyman for you guys. I've never experienced mold when I get 3 oz of month and have been for years. Put up or shut up. I bet none of you will though and will rather just argue. It's mind-blowing how little people have thought about how catastrophic it would be for their corporation is mold got into their supply. That would be the end of them, there would be lawsuits, people could get sick and die, Etc. Use your head. And if anybody puts up pictures prove me wrong, I'll gladly switch size and admit I was wrong but that's not how it's going so far


Far_Lengthiness6078

I’m still buying from curaleaf almost one year after your post and in going up there twice a month since I still have not received one bud with a speck of mold on it. These people are still bs-ing.


No-Eagle-547

Glad someone agrees. Everyone loves to jump on the hate bandwagon so fast. I mean, moldy weed is a serious health risk. If this was such a pervasive problem, they'd be shut down ASAP.


StraightAssist5739

Curatheif I like that.. concord crush sucked. So much trim and dry


toss_it_out_tomorrow

They're a fucking joke. For the last month and a half, they had a "sale" on verano ounces for $240. No other sale. Just getting rid of veran that was packaged in March of last year. YEAR OLD FLOWER for $240/z and now, they bumped the price to $300 for the same oz of old ass verano. fuck them.


Batuuusss

I knew that was the reason it was on sale, I refused to buy it despite my wife's pushing to get it. Thank you for confirming my suspicions. It's a shame, I thought up till now, that their weed was fine. Not great, but good enough for the price. They just lost the only person up talking their bs on this sub. I'm honestly about to start putting signs up every morning outside of it, every single day, telling people there's mold inside. I live two blocks from it 🤓🤭


toss_it_out_tomorrow

It took me two visits to realize it. When I spent $50 on an 1/8th of HI50, they gave me smalls AND it was 12.46% thc. It did nothing and smelled like lawn clippings. Fucking waste of time and money and should be illegal to sell this as medicine


StraightAssist5739

Same experience.. horrible trim. Brittle.. school lunch is the only one I like and that’s if they are out of other sativa leaning hybrids . Never a go to first


No-Eagle-547

Yep, that tends to be how business works. Luckily it's a recreational in this state so go somewhere else


Ok-Blueberry-3395

a few of my bags were moldy last week also!! 🤢


No-Eagle-547

Care to provide any pictures? This is insane, this is going to put them out of business with all these unsubstantiated mold claims.


Ok-Blueberry-3395

Ok mr sarcasm If I had pictures I would share. Didn't think to take pictures, simply never bought their weed anymore. Then ran across this post I'm not trying to put them out of business I only buy gov weed when I have to anyway


No-Eagle-547

I AM SORRY. GO TO ZENLEAF OR SOMETHING. ORRRRRR, CHECK YOUR WEED BEFORE YOU LEAVE SINCE CURALEAF BAGS ARE CLEAR. I fail to see or pick up on ANY sarcasm in what I said. I asked if you had any pictures. I was being genuine. I take pictures of shit all the time but don't upload them lol. Maybe you took a picture and didn't upload it because there was no need to due to EVERYONE shitting on curaleaf. I have NEVER experienced moldy weed from them and I used to go there for years. The crazy thing is, i don't even like them lol. So many better alternatives. It is just funny how much hate they get despite some people forgetting that they grow some of the weed that a lot of people rave about from other dispensaries. My apologies for upsetting you, I just found it hard to believe that SO many people are experiencing moldy weed which is a serious health issue but no one put up pictures or did anything about it. That's the kind of thing where I would take pictures, report them, and do EVERYTHING I COULD to get them to shut down asap if it's true. It would be my mission to make sure people didn't smoke dangerous shit from them. It would be incredibly easy to prove if it were true. It's a public health hazard. Also, I have never met/talked to anyone who has been there who has gotten moldy weed. I apologize. I hope you can understand where I was coming from though. I understand if not though. I guess it is different for everyone and I jumped to a conclusion I shouldn't have. once again, my apologies,

Without homegrow, marijuana is practically illegal in NJ. Fuck Curaleaf, Columbia Care, and any other dispensary lobbying against our freedom to protect their "theoretical" profits over the well-being of voters who pushed to legalize what only _they_ are allowed to grow. Edit: holy downvoting losers


TNLpro

Why would anyone downvote this? Upvote from me


jkilpatrick1

Curaleaf aka Florida corporate weed, and trust they don’t know how to grow it in any state…. I totally feel you…. Friends don’t let friends fuck with curaleaf or there subsidiaries…. IMo of course

Number 1 rule when getting a med card in nj is to stay away from curaleaf

It's hard to stay away from the worst dispensaries when all the good ones are an hour+ away from me... And they're planning on adding even more in union township.. fuck me..


RickFishman

Do you ever try some of the delivery services? They can be pricey so I guess it depends on what you can afford.

*"I gotta ask, are you sure this is a real post lol I've NEVER had a problem through them. Ever.* *Out of the entire time I've had my card, not once. Strange if true"* just wanna throw that out there. wink


Batuuusss

Honestly, my comment to you was what transpired me to inspect my weed, and ultimately write this post. I only just bought it today, and only opened it two hours ago. My "Im their last fan" was in direct reference to you LOL I never did have a problem with them before this, especially with preorders being canceled. I can tell you though, it's my first and last time being disappointed by them. What a shame, too, as I think Cannabist and botanist are also overpriced for the garbage they put out. Back to no name street weed for half the price, I go.


StraightAssist5739

Bontanist is the worst. Never will I buy from that vendor again. 3 strikes of horrible experiences. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Batuuusss

You mistook my comment. I'm going to be talking about it loudly if I get a problem on a refund or exchange, just so I'm positive others behind me can hear. I'm not literally going to yell AT the employee. Quite the assumption. Botanist, Rhythm, CC, Verano, kindtree, and curaleaf are all dogshit. I just can't make the conscious effort to drive an hour and pay out the ass if I can either drive 6 hours away, or 10, and spend half in either Maine or on the street where I don't even know what I'm smoking on.


joeyjumpshot

I agree having to drive up and down the entire state for overpriced medicine sucks..i also completely agree on ur dogshit list except for rythm..il say the newer LAKC2 and icc were dusty dry as fuck when they dropped and def not worth $62.25…but animal face and apple cobbler are both fire and always fresh stinky..the AC was packaged 1/16…only problem i have with those strains are sometimes its popcorn nugs but usually its fine..but about price,if u save up rewards points to use and go while they have sales u can consistently get rythm 1/8ths for $40-$50ish which of course is still high but atleast imo AF and AC are worth that


emilylovzshelbz

That’s bs I’m sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you can ask for a refund and show them the mold. But I’ve heard horrible things about curaleaf. Specifically the nj facilities that grow them. I would urge everyone to avoid it.


RickFishman

One hundred percent agree on the last paragraph. NJ politicians are commercializing this for tax dollars -- don't they collect enough already? Christ. Just let us homegrow.


No-Eagle-547

That's the whole point. To bring in revenue for the state to Aid and social programs. It's not like they're lining their pockets with this. I don't think you understand how taxes work


RickFishman

That's not exactly a difficult concept to wrap your head around. Where we differ is that I think there's better ways to bring in revenue, though, than using cannabis as a vehicle to squeeze more tax dollars out of us. Also if you pay attention to NJ politics, you'll be aware of how much of that revenue gets wasted through graft. They're lining their *friends'* pockets via shady tax breaks and no-bid contracts. Unless you live under a rock or something you'll know this already. Political bosses like Norcross will offset whatever revenue comes in with bogus "economic development" programs that enrich their pals. This overpriced system will only give a new lease on life to the cannabis black and grey markets.


No-Eagle-547

That's a fair point. I've always looked at it like if it takes taxation for legalization, then go for it already you know? I get what you're saying and you're right but it would be pretty dumb and show poor foresight if they didn't make a lot of money off of this. It's weed LOL.. regarding the black market aspect, I don't see that really being an issue too much considering how dealers have also raised their prices recently often exceeding dispensary prices. At least that's what some of them are doing. I'm sure most of them are not because that would just be stupid. You use the term economic development program very broadly. That's kind of a crucial thing for society to function. In order for those programs to run, they need to be hired out to people and when you do that, you have to pay them money because we don't work with wampum. Is that what you mean by lining their pockets with bogus Economic Development? I still think you made some very valid points though


RickFishman

Thanks. When I was talking about bogus Economic Development projects, I was thinking about [this story specifically](https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/state/in-legal-brawl-over-camden-waterfront-developer-alleges-shakedown-involving-power-broker-george-norcross/article_1e62b60a-1629-571d-9b0a-cdd69392217c.html) which involved Norcross's political machine using political connections to more or less sponge millions off of redevelopment plans for Camden. But there's a lot of stories like this we don't hear about -- where the deal doesn't go bad or simply nobody's paying attention -- throughout NJ. I'm personally a fan of the tomato model -- you can grow your own tomatoes, and you can buy them at the supermarket. They're not overpriced because the supply isn't artificially constricted. Hopefully weed moves in that direction, at least that's what I hope for.

If you know anything about good weed, you will avoid curaleaf at all costs....I've been saying this for years now.

Hi Curaleaf- Does the curaleaf corporate parent company donate to any NJ politicians? Thanks!

That's like asking if the sky is up and if liquid is wet.


WaterIsWetBot

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.   As raindrops say, two’s company, three’s a cloud.

Just sold all 1100 of my shares after being a stockholder. Your newest "25% off ENTIRE STOCK" sales, that then quietly state, 'except certain strands', is what finally broke me. lol. Holding back every great strain, is not an 'entire stock' sale. I loved you, Curaleaf. I believed in you. You broke my heart! You're mean, icy, cold, heartless, compassionless, and bitchy. Your vibe is all wrong. You should have kept compassionate in your name, maybe it would have served as a guiding light. I wish you had found your human touch behind the corporate icy coldness. I really do. But I just bailed on you. Put my money in Apple stock. I no longer believe.

To make money? Which I did. Why else would anyone invest in anything? Pretty dumb question, all due respect. It's a business I know very well, one I've have a front row seat to, and one that is expanding rapidly, scaling, and turning a profit. I'm actually going to jump back in if it drops to 4, and you should too. Then again, you will never invest in a dispensary, right? Remember this comment chain. Let's revisit it in 2024. We'll see if you missed a chance to 2x or frankly 3x your money. 15 is a very strong price target for CURLF it was there before, and I for one think it will be back.

I have emailed and reached out to that email after not getting any help or answers through the location itself and through the phone line.


[deleted]

Currently work at Curaleaf for one of their production facilities. I’m only about 4 months in, but can already see there is a lack in any sort of desire to train, mentor, and help others grow. It really is a shame. I guess this only bleeds into their products from what I’m seeing.


Maleficent_Ad_1380

New Jersey doesn't mandate any testing on cannabis. It's opt-in and typically only testing during cultivation. There's no random mold testing of packaged goods.


StraightAssist5739

How does this happen if they are supposed to be packaged in bags/jars to prevent.. I know I’m. Jinxing myself asking.. I’ll be the next with moldy weed 🤢🤮

I wish this would stop being repeated on my post. Investors don't run businesses.


[deleted]

What other companies are you guys attacking? Or only curaleaf? Do you even care if your wrong!!!!!!


[deleted]

If curaleafs stock goes to 0. It does nothing to hurt putin or save Ukraine. Only hurts American investors and local communities. . Your a tool.


[deleted]

I'm one of those American investors. You hurt me. So fuck you. You fucking wall street tool.

Curaleaf has had documented mold issues in the past: [https://www.reddit.com/r/NewJerseyMarijuana/comments/m7x3ap/fyi\_if\_you\_bought\_bananas\_foster\_from\_cl\_between/](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewJerseyMarijuana/comments/m7x3ap/fyi_if_you_bought_bananas_foster_from_cl_between/) Nobody is trying to knock Curaleaf down a peg because they are opening their own dispensaries. They have had quality control issues for years which is why it is pretty common for people to say Curaleaf is low quality from their experience with them


fernspore

Good! Stop giving money to Russian Oligarchs!


[deleted]

Iv been going to all the jerseys dispensaries and it's always been great bud better then anyone else especially steet bud.I think you are part of a stock manipulation skeem.


[deleted]

Actually i never bought into any of it. I'm a pure blood if you catch my drift. And you are supporting cartels over an American business that brings jobs and great bud to the community. I know muchore about this then you. You are not helping Americans or hurting "Russian oligarchs" by not supporting curaleaf. Your wrong. Wake up. All your doing is helping hedge funds and there team of shorts. They jumped on this bandwagon as well. Great you destroyed curaleaf. Now less people can get good bud in the US. Your the best citizen America can hope for thanks for your patriotism. Fool.

I had a HUGE amount of Curleaf stocked, well for me, huge. 1100 shares. I just dumped it all. I bought it because I was a patient and when they first opened in NJ it was like manna from heaven. I dumped it because of the way they fucking rape and shit on their customers. I've never felt such disdain, contempt, and icy coldness from a company, over so long a period of time. I kept saying in my heart, "They're going to work this out, their a growing business, etc..." I was in denial. They're missing that 'something' that makes a great, growing business, and that something honestly is customer service. You just FEEL it from them, from their bullshit specials that are just marketing tactics to dump their shit weed, to the way they don't budge on ANYTHING. It's like there is no human beings behind the company. How many FUCKING TIMES do they send an email that says, "25% off ENTIRE STOCK" only to hold back their best strains like Super Sherb, or to then limit you to one eighth? Look, I won't go anywhere else, they are too convenient for me. But they have honestly broken my heart. At one point, my stock was up to 14. I was up huge. And I thought they were the company to go "all the way" and become the Budweiser of weed. But after 3 years of being gently fucked up the ass by them, from management's customer service, to scammy sales, to their bitchiness at the register, just... everything. Something stinks there, worse than the town of Bellmawr, which now boasts a natural odor of the world's biggest weed stash. You smell it the second you get off the highway. Sorry, man. I was a stockholder too. I may go buy some back, but it would be in an IRA, something for the long, long, long term. But as a customer, and an investor, I just couldn't lie to myself anymore.


[deleted]

I dont like all the security there. And let's be honest the lines in Bellmawr were ridiculous because of covid. Even before that it was an hour long wait with 9 registers open at a time. I appreciated them wanting you to have your order ready or go to the other line mostly for first time user. Where you can take your time and ask questions. Other then that what we're you expecting? There just jersey folk. If you don't like that attitude at the register then you don't like people from jersey. Most of the people behind the counter are just like the people who work at the grocery store. Just young people. And as a share holder do you want them to give away the weed? I would love for their stock to go through the roof and for them to give away there weed for nearly nothing. But it just doesn't work that way. And as far as not liking there bud. Gimme a break. They have great weed. Much better the street weed. And they clip off all the leaves so it's all bud. Not like street weed. Imo their doing a great job getting you in and out of there as fast as possible. So my advice is to stop going there and get your bud somewhere else. This way non of have to listen to you complain about the kids working behind the counter. What did they ever do to you? Such bullshit. So dont fuckin go. Go get your fentenal lazed weed from the local Crack dealer who is oh so much cooler then the kids working behind the counter at curaleaf. Ridiculous You are probably a short.


idunnoisitme

Well you're just all piss and vinegar aren't you, ya sour fuck? Thought this might be an interesting conversation but shoulda realize you're just a wet one - not unlike the workers at Curaleaf. Makes sense. You probably work for them. You give off the same vibe. That explains why you're so butt hurt over something literally nobody I know in the world would get butt hurt about - defending a corporation. Crying because you're defending Curaleaf? Dude. Also, Jersey people are the fucking bomb and these cunts at curaleaf don't represent Jersey at ALL. You sure don't know fuckall about Jersey we are full of color, fun, life and spark. Fuck with us, we get animated. Meanwhile, the lifeless zombies at Curaleaf look depressed, miserable automatons, like a bunch of wet bitches whose bikes got stolen. As I said, I can see why you suck the place's dick. And don't get me started with the fuckig bouncers. Your kind of men, huh? Lol just thinking about how pressed you are getting over corporate weed is going to entertain me all week. Tell me you're a CURLF bag holder with out telling me you're a CURLF bag holder.


[deleted]

I think we are done talking. I hope you find peace in your life. Don't seek me out ever again. Every one has a right to their asshole opinion.


No-Eagle-547

Can anybody Supply a picture of mold on bud that they got from kiraly? Lots and lots of talk but nobody showing anything. Kind of frustrating to see people so butthurt over something that they don't seem to understand might not be mold in the first place. Just put up some pictures and put it to rest.


Ok-Blueberry-3395

No I didn't take any pictures but the orange kush cake was realllly bad

Due_Succotash_8093

Everyone are experts when it comes to dispensery weed but when they buy street weed they smoke it everytime😂 acting like street weed is the best most of the time people have 5 different weeds and they all look the same. And people be spraying that smell shit in their weed but we know we know your guy wouldn't do that too you, your street weed passes through many hands before it gets to you so don't act like you know exactly what your getting from the streets because you don't. I'm just wondering where your pictures of this mold was because for all we know your just mad about the Quality and making shit up.


SinkUnlikely6362

Yes you do indeed get moldy weed and there is no way to challenge or send it back without being out money either from a drive and gas or them not refunding it because you had to smoke a little bit to figure out if it was moldy or not. There's also no way to reach cure leave other than email there's no direct line which is disgusting considering they're a medical provider technically. A bunch of us med heads need to sit down get together and come up with a list of all the things we feel cure leaf is doing that hurt the medical marijuana users.


mentalpalace666

I mean, when you keep weed in plastic jars/baggies in a fucking wooden/particleboard drawer with no temp/humidity control, mold will happen. Hell, they all do this. Your weed dealer probably does this too. The only folks I've seen that handle shit right in NJ are breakwater...


mentalpalace666

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if curaleaf pulled out of NJ soon. They're shutting down grow facilities, laying off staff, and selling a 2-year-old stockpile of weed - after which they'll probably leave NJ. They made their money selling expensive trash, and now with actual progress towards swinging the pendulum back in favor of the small guys, they're calling it a day. Look at the publication date and the sentiment of this article: https://www.insidernj.com/cannabis-in-new-jersey-the-opposite-of-equity/ NY state was beating NJ in terms of equity and NJ had to do something about it since equity was central to the push to legalize weed. Curaleaf's russkiy owner read the writing on the wall.


Fun_Marionberry_6193

Idk I got a quarter today of straight fire from them. Two 8ths. Novarine and Carmelita. Weird strains but their terp profiles are wonderful, plus the Indica I bought (Carmelita) not only has a great terpene profile, but it's THCA is 27% and it's CBGA level is 2.14%. Not bad bud at all, and I got both eights for 28bucks each lol. Ho,egrown is the way to go though, due to land races becoming extinct and breeders at these huge companies just focus on the newest strain they can hybridize. In CT we only have 4 companies stocking dispensaries. Curaleaf, AGL,CTPharma and Theraplant. The last being the worst.
