Recreational/prescription user considering trying out MOMs. Have a few questions and would like recommendations
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2020 4:04 am
I am someone who for the last few years has exclusively bought weed from LPs, either through my prescription or at physical store. I have bought stuff from a MOM (herb approach) through a friend in the months prior to legalization and as far as quality goes, it far surpassed any weed I've picked up at a physical store. I've gotten into concentrates lately (Ive never tried dabbing, just use a wax pen) and to my surprise, its far better at controlling pain then flower. However, my LP doesn't sell shatter/real hash (only kief labelled as hash) and shatter is expensive and hard to find in stores. I see there is a ton of concentrates available through MOMs which has me intrigued.
1) What are the legal consequences if I am caught buying from a MOM? As I understand it, MOM companies are entities that used to operate in a legal grey area prior to legalization. Now they are illegal but are still operating? I might be making some assumptions, correct me if I'm wrong.
2) Is this likely to happen? Has anybody here been caught? I'd imagine with the amount of legal weed moving through the postal system, the chances of getting caught shipping MOM weed is minimal
3) What is a good place to get shatter and full melt hash or crumble at a low price?
4) I've also heard that there was issues with fake shatter going around earlier this year. Is that still a thing and how can I avoid it? I've also heard that shatter can be contaminated by residual butane/propane in poor extractions. What is the safest MOM to buy shatter from? I imagine that legal shatter has to get lab tested and is by default the safest option, but I do wonder how stringent the testing is.
thanks!
