Anyone else sick of being directed to a kiosk instead of talking to a real human being ?

Hi, Ohio MJ fam!

I’ve been noticing an increase of kiosks at dispensaries to place orders. I totally understand their function for folks who are on the go and know what they want.

However, I’m finding it increasingly more and more difficult to talk to an actual budtender for product recommendations and general cannabis advice.

For me, this human interaction is an essential part of the experience and it seems like dispensaries are trying to phase it out.

I dont want an AI-assist kiosk bot… I want a human who knows & understands the products, but also maybe I’m alone in this sentiment.

Anyone else experiencing this at their local dispensaries? Am I alone in disliking this shift in the industry?

THC PERCENTAGE VS TERPENE PERCENTAGE

Ive been buying the higher percentage THC flower from my dispensary and my tolerance is too high for it. I saw where some of the flower they have is up to 20% terpenes but lower percentage ( 25% ). Do I keep buying high THC percentage or change to terpene percentage?

Distillate carts

TL;DR - I don't know whether I'm still too much of a canna-newbie, or if I'm less of a canna-newbie than I think. Are underlabeled botanical carts becoming more ubiquitous from dispos, or have I by some fluke just managed to avoid distillate carts all this time?

Hi y'all, first-time poster here. I searched briefly and didn't see any posts on the conversation, so I wanted to share a recent concern for folks like me who feel pushed back to the dispos now that our options are more limited. I'm still a canna-newbie in many ways. I don't know what I don't know sometimes... but I have always thought Ohio's dispensary menus were at *least* clear enough to help me feel confident about whether I was getting a botanical cart or not. I appreciated that there were products clearly labeled as botanicals, especially as a newbie trying to learn terpene profiles from one strain to the next.

While I understand that "you get what you pay for" applies here on SO MANY levels... I've noticed that either unlabeled or under-labeled (IMO) botanical products are becoming more ubiquitous in dispensaries. My cynical assumption is that all that forfeited, yet otherwise perfectly good, THC-A product had to become a profit somewhere... but I digress.

So that I can be accurate and concise... which feels like a challenge in the Ohio market... according to the FRX dispensary label, the cartridge I'm enjoying right now and using as an example is a "1g Distillate Cartridge" and the strain is "Vapen - PCH RNGS." I won't review the strain, because that's not the point right now, but I *will* clarify that I'm not voicing a concern about the quality of the flavor, experience, cartridge, oil... whatever. I'm not complaining... But I am concerned.

I don't know whether I'm too much of a canna-newbie or less of a canna-newbie than I think. But my gut is somewhere in the middle. At this point in my journey, I think I at least know the difference between a terpene profile with notes of peach and one with added botanicals to flavor the oil. Until recently, I thought the product label would be enough to help me make my purchasing choices, since I'd seen products specifically labeled as "botanical cartridges." The "PCH RNGS" cart that I'm not kidding when I say I'm enjoying right now has only one place in all its labeling and marketing that I can find that helps serve as an indicator to me that my suspicions may be correct: the ingredients list. "Raw Distillate and Naturally Derived Terpenes."

I don't have any complaints about this cart, this strain, my experience with it... I actually enjoy it quite a bit. But I'm very concerned that if Ohio's system is to be consistent, this cart should have been labeled a "botanical cartridge" under whatever classification system the Ohio Cannabis Control Board uses. Have I somehow managed to avoid the distillate carts so far, and if so, was ignorance just bliss? Or am I correct in raising a heads-up that underlabeled botanical carts should be a growing concern in our community? This cart tastes too "on the nose" of candy peach rings to NOT have botanical terpenes added, but I'm humble enough to take a gut check from folks who are more experienced in this community.

Double OG Chem review

Pretty sticky batch from a March harvest, probably the stickiest I’ve gotten from FRX. Still broke down beautifully. I forgot to take pictures of the break down and all that, but a little bit still got me a good bowl full. The flavor was very tame on in first inhale, but the exhale had a nice citrusy, peppery flavor. Mrycene body relax and limonene head buzz are very prominent with a nice mellow high following 5-10 mins later. FRX still hasn’t missed, and I got this for 11$ a gram. With the linalool and caryophylene following in terp profile, it’s a relaxing leaning hybrid for sure. 9.5/10 imo

Tom&Berry live resin disposable

I got the big-t-og strain and its very good overall, i’m very impressed with their live resin i can smell it from my pocket and it kinda has a peppery/earthy taste. for $28 otd i would definitely get this again

Are carts really that bad for people who don’t smoke?

Hi! I don’t smoke weed a lot and I bought a 80% thc rosin cart because it seemed like the most convenient option, but afterwards I looked it up and people say that one hit is equivalent to an entire joint!?!?!?

For reference, my perfect dose is like, one deep hit of a joint or bowl.

My battery has a low voltage setting 2.2-2.7v but am I going to regret hitting this??

R.O - Red Bird

This one is new for me haven’t seen it around so I messaged them on Instagram. They said it’s a cross of Pie Hoe and Colombian Red. It’s definitely more of a plain generic taste. The high is really nice just kind of basic. Buds are frosty af great feel and burn just lacking big time on terps. I would say 7/10. I would love to see what it’s like with a better cure. Got this one at Sunnyside Cincinnati for 48+tax. For that price not bad.

A half was $66 at Zips in C-bus. With the ALL THE KNOWLEDGE ON THIS PAGE, how do you get a Sativa out of OG Kush 75% Indica, Platinum OG 75% Indica? Innocent looking smalls, low on flavor and smell, perfect for work. Decent Reggie. Good price point, too.

Good Green - Sunset sherbet 🔥

Got this from The Landing Cincinnati 70+tax. It’s 100% worth the price I love Sunset Sherbet. It’s been hard to find it not crossed into 3 or 4 other things so this is a nice throwback. Beautiful bud feel soft and sticky. The smell is gassy fruity and sweet. Which holds through in taste it’s delicious gassy and sweet. I would give this a 9/10 it could be just a little more sticky and moist but still pretty good cure and dry on this one. The effects I would say are definitely relaxing but not to the point of crashing just good to chill and have fun.

The Cream Select - Certified

The Cream Select - Certified Cultivators https://www.certifiedcultivators.com/flower/p/the-cream

Strain: Cookies & Cream x (Golden Goat x (Chem Dawg x (Sour Diesel x OG Kush)))
CATEGORY: Hybrid

COA water - Unknown (wtf Certified, do better)

TOTAL THC 29.4% / d9 THC 0.37% / THCA 33.1%

PRIMARY TERPENES: , Myrcene 1.24%, a-Pinene 1.03%, Limonene 0.548%, b-Pinene 0.433%

TOTAL LABEL TERPENES 3.25%

TOTAL PINE TERPS: 1.46% 😮 (record high for me)

Harvest 11MAY2026

Bought 01JUL2026

Actual Contents Weight: 14.20g (love the 420!) 😂

COA LINK: None Provided (come on Certified, do better!)

DEAL: There are plenty of reviews on Certified The Cream, time for another. I had many of my Reddit bros tell me to get this for the pine and - because it's just so good. For months I looked but only found it in tiny-ass, over-priced, baby jars. As I recall, they were asking equivalent to $300-400/oz for The Cream. Homie ain't playing that shit, I don't care how good it is. I'll wait it out.

Well, yesterday while browsing Zips Glenway, there it was, FINALLY available - a half ozzy of the The Cream! It was $105 with the fake Zips 30% off ($150/half retail) it was $124/half OTD. WOOT! This is actually reasonable (not $400+/oz) and only a little above my cheap-ass threshold of $200/oz OTD. With tax this took it over my $200/oz max at $246/oz OTD.

They got me, too many folks raving about this flower and the declaration of pine needs to be put to the test! I love PINE, it's my favorite terp by miles!!

ODOR: I could smell this shit in the sealed bags inside my car on the ride home. LOL

Ripped the bag, I could smell it immediately without breaking the inner seal. Cracked the zip, subtle yet powerful/gassy odor, stunk-up the area quickly. Getting light whiffs of that Pinene. This is stinky as shit, the terps are >3% so I expected that. I wish they had a QR to the COA so I could see the whole terp profile. This is bullshit. It should be Ohio law! I'd like to see the full list.

The cops will smell it from behind you in line at UDF. The odor is a little different and funky from your normal Ohio Limonene mids, that may throw off some weed-sniffing Nazi's a little, but they'll probably still give you the stink eye and rolled eyes. Keep safe distances if you don't want to get busted.

I could not believe it, like a dream for me. The second primary terp: a-Pinene 1.03%. That's the holy fucking grail terp for me! This is the first time I've seen it listed in second place on any Ohio flower. However, it's not that pungent, no Christmas tree here. 😥 The best description is spicy, mildly piney, milk cream, the name is fitting! I was praying for a fresh Christmas tree but got a bowl of spicy cream. The search for the ultimate Ohio pine weed continues....

HUGE props to Certified! The terps are very strong (and they better be at this price point)!

LOOK: This is my first Certified purchase, I'm excited after the hype. These are their "Select" nugs of The Cream. BINGO - TRICHROMES out the ass, sparkling like diamonds in a goat's ass! Great looking half, nice hand trim, see pics - that's the whole thing, all 14.20g. Nice, mostly 1-1.5" nugs, a couple were near 3" but very skinny at the top - still KILLER looking. I'd like bigger buds (like 1-3 cola halves) but it's fine upper-end bud for commercial weed, nice presentation!

Almost no garbage in the bag at all too, just what broke off during handling of the package and the unfortunate loss of some trics on the bag sides, less than 0.1g. The trics are so heavy I probably could have scraped together a keef bong hit from the droppings - love that "bonus hit". 😎

WOW! The crystallization of the buds is top-notch, 100% on par with Farkas. The first time I've given any Ohio commercial weed that accolade! AWESOME JOB CERTIFIED! I'm sorry it took so long to get here but I ain't paying insane $$$ for weed.

I checked with AI and it confirmed that Farkas rents out the Tric Fairy to Certified. Or maybe AI is wrong and Certified has the Tric Fairy's sister? We'll put that to the test with a few more stains in the future! The buds were extremely consistent in look, most flower has some outlier buds, not here, it all looks the same.

This is an attractive bag and a win in the looks department across the board. I see why they want $300-$400/oz. Too bad I can't smoke looks, it's a plus but I ain't smoking 'em so fuck that price. I really felt that way about Meigs Strawberry Guava, see my review.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OhioMJCommunity/comments/1qz3rjb/strawberry_guava_meigs/

NUGS: About as good as you can get in commercial cannabis. Great feel, slightly dry outside crust with a squishy, very moist interior. All of the buds were very nice, no MT, no bullshit, no Ohio-mids, rock nugs here. This is nice quality for commercial weed but the nugs could have been bigger. Decent assortment and above average for a half of Ohio commercial weed. BRAVO!

CURE/MOISTURE: No COA - BOOOOO!!! This weed feels like 12-14% moisture to me as a wild ass guess. It's not dry in the slightest and tends to rip apart into gooey balls of joy rather than break-up. The cure is moist AF, perfectly executed cannabis, crumble? - impossible with The Cream. If anything, it could dry a bit more! The hardest part is getting it off your fingers - it's sticky AF. Press a bud against a wall and it'll be there a year later.

This stuff is next level gooey! Possibly the gummiest, gooeyest flower I've seen in the Ohio program. I would NOT put this into a grinder, it's too wet and gooey, seems like you're hurting it by doing that - some flower is best enjoyed with minimal handling, this is one of those IMO. Crack off a chunk and apply copious amounts of flame. Besides, you'd need a pair of vice grips to even twist that grinder, it's that sticky!

TASTE: Interesting - no pine tree for sure but the pine is there. But it's way more subtle than I'm ultimately looking for. I'm searching for the flower that's like plucking a pine come right from Mother Nature, wrapping a paper around it and going to town with my Bic. I have not seen that ultra-pine weed in well over a decade, maybe two.

My first impression is this is very close in taste to some of the HQ Indiana BM weed I was smoking for decades. Brought back some memories! I miss that weed but Ohio weed is cheaper and easier to get, so that's how I roll these days. At least I found a substitute for a long lost flavor profile I love. It has an "old school" taste, HUGE plus!

My pallet first detected some pine on the inhale but it a bit diminished a bit on the exhale. Still - Houston, WE HAVE PINE. That said - Absolutely unique and delicious weed! This is what I'm paying for - the flavor is GREAT! It's very pleasant tasting with ZERO greenhouse/chlorophyll/fertilizer or other off tastes. Exceptionally clean tasting as I would expect at this price point. Just one day in and I love this strain for the flavor! WIN FOR CERTIFIED, very enjoyable smoke!

FIRST HITS SUMMARY: HARSH LEVEL 0.5, very smooth smoke, as smooth as most of the Farkas strains. That's on my 0-4 scale with 4 being like hemp rope and Farkas typically running a 0.0 to 1.5. Very easy to smoke, I smoked a bowl and barely coughed, easy on the lungs bonus points. A testament to careful growing and curing here!

One hit buzz weed, no problem for when you just want a tinge of a buzz. It's 30% THC, one or two will do you a lot of justice and allow you to be human still. Time for a bit more - ripped off the very tip of the nicest, longest bud and put it intact into my wood pipe.

I was standing-up on my first bowl hit and damn near fell over from the first hit headrush. All those trics and resin burning off was like taking a hit of fucking concentrate. Shit, had to sit down to finish my small bowl (5-6 hits by myself). ZING! This shit is a fucking SLEDGEHAMMER. It felt like Thor came down and smashed my cranium with a giant weed hammer. GOOD SHIT

UPDATE: Buzz is intense AF after smoking a couple g's by myself. Scrambles the brain, can making things like driving difficult. Don't plan on doing shit if you're smoking The Cream. NOT recommended for those with anxiety, tends to cause racing thoughts. I've always thought Pinene did that but this terp combo- fuck, sleeping is difficult cause you keep thinking up shit. lol The Myrcene/Pinene combo works powerfully on the brain lending to an intense mind buzz.

BOTTOM LINE: TOP OF THE OHIO MARKET COMMERCIAL WEED! 

It has all the attributes one would expect for $245/oz pot and then some. It looks good, it tastes good, smokes smooth and packs a monster, couch-locking buzz. This is a top-notch commercial product no doubt and better than most of the top commercial flower. KUDOS to Certified for an amazing strain and execution! All the folks raving about The Cream are justified and I'm on the bandwagon with them!

That said, like Klutch, I gotta bitch about the price. It's expensive AF! Farkas and Neighborgoods are hitting homeruns for under $200/oz. IMO, this strain beats many of those out, I'll give Certified that, but the best commercial Ohio weed should be consumer capped at $200/oz. There is just too much competition for them to fight it forever. Especially now that they can deduct business expenses.

Overall, a HOMERUN for Certified!  This is possibly the most potent Ohio commercial weed I've smoked. It'll knock you clean on your ass my friends. I will certainly buy this strain when the halves for $105 are around again! I'm glad I bought an ozzy, I had a feeling it'd be a hit and it didn't disappoint! Get it before it's gone or we're back to those baby-ass, ripoff jars. Top-notch product!

Check back later, I always update my reviews with fresh impressions as I smoke more! Keep on smoking and posting my friends! 😎

Concentrates

1: Klutch - Pacific Cool Full Spec Live Rosin:

Finally got around to trying this one. Nice Sativa with great energy and buzz without the raciness I was worried about.

2: The Standard - RK Cookies Live Badder:

This stuff is wet and good. A nice Indica GMO Cross. Giving me the effects that I love. I’m impressed by The Standards concentrate game once again.

3: Klutch - Ice Cream Cake Full Spec Rosin:

This is fine. I think I enjoy the flower and Live Resin version better though.

4: POW - Gelato Full Spec Live Rosin: The first time I tried this it made popping sounds in my Proxy. And there was no condensation in the jar. Also it looks like poo. Effects were mid. I had another strain of theirs and it was OK. So gave them another shot. Not sure I’ll be going back.

Vapes

1: KCG - Garlic Juice Live Resin:

This is my first time trying this brand of Live Resin. I’ve had their Rosin version of Garlic Juice so have this a go. I’m glad I tried it. Great flavor and effects.

2: Buckeye - Lemon Dosi Live Resin:

I grabbed 2 of these on sale for $26 each. I’ve had their version cart version before. I nice fresh flavor and great day or night effects. All around one of my go to strains if I need something portable.

Citizen Klutch vape vs Certified

So I only got back in the game last October, started w the certified sticks and then moved to Live Resin n then started getting their weekly drops in my area for the LLD. At first I was blown away and they became my #1. Motorbreath was killer and they got me so high. Well I overtime also found other brands w ikrushers I like, ex: Butterfly Effect, but I went and tried the Citizens by Clutch Permanent Marker (i’ve also had the Klutch LR and LOVE) and then also got a Garlic something by certified LLD, i’d say both got me equally as high. which is crazy for the price difference and the fact that ones CO2 extracted (i think??) and ones supposed to be Diamonds. I think certified quality w their krushers have gone down significantly and w the price increasing so much, notttt even worth it dare i say
