HOW TO FIND EACH STATE'S BEST CANNABIS GROWER
It all starts on Reddit with the word "ents."

Dear Stoner: What's the best way to find out about each state's best cannabis
growers, extractors, etc.? I travel a lot, and it's hard enough knowing who to
trust in Colorado.
Tim
Dear Tim: Denver's dispensary scene has plenty of talent, but stores are still
selling loads of bunk or trying to make money off names like Cookies and High
Times. Finding the true dank takes time, research and dedication, because the
best growers and hash makers rarely stay on top forever. Whoever's holding the
belt right now probably won't be next year.

Budtender recommendations aren't always trustworthy, and cannabis influencers
are usually bought and paid for. There are a handful of online communities and
reviewers with better information, though, usually on Reddit with the word
"ents" involved. Whether it's r/COents in Colorado, r/Michigents in Michigan,
r/ZonaEnts in Arizona or many others — the "ents" is derived from the giant tree
characters in The Lord of the Rings — these subreddit groups are full of photos,
detailed reviews and even a little hot, juicy gossip about a state's cannabis
industry. If you're looking for a crash course as you travel, start there.
Send questions to marijuana@westword.com.
