Early Feb is the earliest licenses will get approved. Least that’s what my dispensary said.

Swin has THCA flowers. It's the most barely, technically federally legal of the farm bill exception products. It's literally type 1 cannabis carefully grown, tested, and harvested so that it never tests above the legal limit of D9THC. But, of course, when you smoke or vape D9THCA, it instantly decarbs into D9THC. If you don't want to wait for proper rec to start next month, find some THCA flower or try some alt cannabis products. It's not uncommon for people to prefer D8 or HHC to classic D9.

No dispensary is gonna sell without a card my dude. There’s too much risk involved for them. But we are almost to the finish line man, just find a friend with a card.

You can get hemp-derived Delta 9 THC edibles at a few places. I get them at Hemporium. No D9 flower as of yet, though.

Anyone know if medical dispensaries are going to be selling recreationally as well, or will there be dedicated, rec-only dispensaries?

Literally thca flower is the same. It is regular weed harvested and tested at specific times to skirt the law and slip through a loophole. Not all thca flower is high grade, top shelf product, and there is a lot of type 2 flower in thca (cannabis with roughly balanced amounts of thca and cbd/ga) that won't get you very high (many people prefer this more low key high with generally greater anxiolytic effect) and that may be what you have experienced if you have had thca flower that seemed underwhelming. Other cannabinoids, no, aren't the same, but many of them (and afaik everything Swin sells) are found in varying amounts in live flower. Minor cannabinoids are a major, perhaps even the main, driver of strain profile. The different effects of different live flowers (tbh strain names and indica/sativa labels are a mess right now >_> there just isn't a good standard) are caused by the differing amounts of minor cannabinoids. So each individual cannabinoid is an aspect of the full spectrum flower experience, and well made blends can replicate flower experiences without the predictability issues of working with live plants. I promise my cart blends wouldn't feel disappointingly flat and one note. My friends have started breaking relationships with their plugs in favor of my legal alt blends.

Likely a mix. Medical dispensaries are able to apply for rec licenses if they want to. So I'm sure we'll see some medical only dispensaries, some recreational facilities, and some facilities that cater to both. I have heard in some places that went recreational before us that some dispensaries had separate lines for recreational and medical so patients wouldn't be burdened by recreational customers increasing wait time.

Greenlight is already promoting that they'll be selling recreationally in February. Considering that that's the earliest the state can hand out licenses, I don't know if they were told ahead of time that they were approved, or what.

My preferred dispensary is The Farmer's Wife, but they haven't indicated anything like that.
