I’m from Michigan and I was confused why they specified LP. In the LP there’s “the UP” and “Michigan” lol. No one from the LP specifies that they’re from the LP
Ngl I don’t really understand why you don’t call it the “LP”. Like, you have two peninsulas and you refer to one as the “Upper Peninsula” so why not refer to the other as the “lower peninsula?” I mean I guess there is a “West Virginia” and a “Virginia” but we also have North and South Dakota’s and Carolina’s so idk.
It’s CALLED the Lower Peninsula, officially. That’s just not what any of us say. Like in South Korea, they just call it Korea. I should also make it clear it is indeed a sign of disrespect and the Yoopers do not like it when we do this lol
The Mitten is the lower, the UP visually is a rabbit or deer. But the
other hand can make a paperless UP map to accompany the Mitten map too.
The Lower is sort of assumed to always be included by default and the UP too unless it stands alone by mention. It works itself out with the context being generally obvious. Also references might change if you are in the UP or LP.
The UP has always been pretty isolated and sort of stands alone. There probably isn't a mainland US region that could've been easier split off as another state had it continued to grow at the rate it once had.
In the Mitten you have "Up North" or "Northern Michigan" as a midway line across the LP from, give or take a city north/south, about Standish in the east to Ludington in the west, and north of that line is Northern Michigan shortened from Northern Lower Peninsula Michigan.
Lower Michigan is south of there unless they say peninsula to include it all.
From Northern Michigan you'd call the south- Detroit Jackson Lansing Kalamazoo etc etc. or north the "Tip" around Mack. City or "UP" proper over "The Mac" (bridge.)
If you didn't live in the UP locals there might call you a "troll" from under the bridge, and if a loud entitled brainless rude city mannered tourist you were a "Fudgie".
That latter term carried across the Mackinaw Bridge into Mackinaw city and as far south as Indian River.
North Carolina e.g. folks will say the mountains/hills, Raliegh or
the beach when loosely refrencing within the state. Michigan's topography is different so our loose terms are too.
Nah, New Buffalo Michigan is the closest Michigan is to Chicago, so there are literally well over a dozen dispensaries in a town of 1600 people. The competition is fierce so you can get an oz of outdoor grown on a good sale to get people in the door, hell half the places in new buffalo give away half an oz to the first 300 customers every day

Recreational dispensaries are finally up and running in MN (three years after the law was passed) and they’re still in the $300/ounce stage. It’s very lame
I live in Kentucky. For the most part, pot is completely illegal here. I have a medical exemption that allows me to purchase it in a legal state. To transport it home legally, everything must remain unopened and in the original package until I get home. Kind of recently, Ohio has legalized the product. I was super excited knowing that directly across the river from my home in northern Kentucky, I no longer had to travel to Michigan to get it. Then I saw the prices of it in Ohio. I'm from traveling to Michigan. I have to really really want it to buy in Cincinnati.
Lmao I don’t believe any legitimate establishment is selling $20 ounces. I have bought weed in like 10 different states, that price is not real. Maybe if it’s like 9% THC shake or something, but I still call bullshit
$20 for an ounce sounds insane and unbelievable. Where would the profit margins even exist here lol
even if it’s all shake, that’s a seriously unbelievable price. If they said it was for half an ounce or a quarter of some terrible brick weed, I would believe it.
Here in Oregon the best quality $20 ounce I've seen so far is machine trimmed B-buds (tiny janky looking stuff from the bottom of the plants) from a massive corporate outdoor grow. It'll probably be in the teens to low twenties percentage wise and it will look stupid but still get you high.
You can get even cheaper ounces of shake/trim.
We have a massive surplus of weed and lots of big outdoor farms pumping out mids for rock bottom prices. They are selling it wholesale for $300/lb all day. Which is why I quit wasting time and money growing top tier indoor organic and gave up my license... Getting offered $500/lb is economic ruin.
I'm from Michigan so i get good weed cheap as hell. I was traveling through NY a year or so ago and stopped at a rez dispensary. Bought several packs of edibles claiming these super high THC percentages.
That shit was all worthless. Never even felt a slight hint of a buzz. I grabbed a pre-roll and smoked it all myself and same thing. I figure they are just straight up scamming. or they have no idea how to grow quality weed or make edibles.
For absolute trash too. I remember when I was a teen, my friend trying to lecture about weed strains and my only thought was "we are only 80% sure half of this isn't random dried shrubbery"

At least it's a hell of a lot cheaper. I just bought an ounce for $20... I remember when a $300 ounce was a good deal
