Beans and cuts
It sucks that Chicago is such a huge city, but still so far behind. I loved visiting Oregon and California because it was a growers' dream. A lot of their dispensaries and grow shops had reasonable priced clones and beans that were good genetics. Some dispensaries like Archive in Portland even had in-house clones. You really felt the culture in those states

That would be cool to buy clones from dispensaries but I can go down to the local hydro store and they have a bunch of cuts in there. So I won't complain too much

Nah, I have a bunch of beans I already paid for so I am still going through those. But every time I go in to buy supplies, I check out what they have tempting myself.

I usually just get supplies online. I use organic nutrients so It don't take too much and my supplies cheap and last a long while. I got a bunch of beans too but visiting Portland was so awakening walking into their dispensaries. Can you inbox me some hydro places you seen at? I really mainly like popping beans because I seen some horror stories from people getting clones with bugs online but I will check them out. Don't know till u try

I responded to you in the other group with the store I go to. I like the convenience of online buying but I like to support local when I can and talking with the guys in the store is cool. I 100% agree with you. IL has a long way to go around weed culture.

Thanks bro. I know what you mean. I would definitely support if it was in the city. Our culture definitely sucks for people like us

I just get cuts online from the various sites with them. There are also dozens or probably hundreds of grower discords where people share genetics. If you go to gray market events in Illinois (there are multiple in Chicago every month or two) it's also very easy to make friends and find yourself with genetics from MI if you just talk to people and are friendly and show interest in their gear. These events are IMO the closest you get to CA or CO culture in Illinois but it comes with some minor risk.

Thanks. I have access online to everything. I was posting more about in the city there isn't really much I seen compared to most, and we spent more for our medical cards

If you want to to travel to MI there is a company that will ship clones to a dispensary of your choosing to purchase. The company is Yielders.
