This winter, Trilogy Wellness is excited to be partnering with Mitch Bricks, Inc. to support community members struggling with homelessness at local Baltimore shelters!
The mission of Mitch Bricks is to connect communities through educational play and friendship by sourcing volunteers to serve and donations to assist the economically disadvantaged.
This unique organization was founded by fourth-grader Mitch Villavaso in 2017 when he and his friends started visiting local Baltimore shelters to play Legos with the child residents. Mitch believes the Legos are fun, but having a friend who cares is the most special gift! Today, Mitch Bricks brings multiple programs and events to local shelters and aftercares in the Baltimore area, helping to provide basic needs for residents by sourcing necessities from the community.
Trilogy is now joining in on their efforts by collecting donations right in our lobby to kick off the holiday season and the new year!
Throughout December 2024 and January 2025, Trilogy is hosting a community drive to collect toiletry items and cash donations for Mitch Bricks. Additionally, Trilogy pint glasses are on sale for $10, with all sales also being donated to the organization. All toiletry items will be used to create Blessing Bags for adult and child residents of Eastside Family Shelter in Rosedale, Maryland. Items needed to craft these bags include:washcloths, bars of soap, toothbrushes (travel or regular sized), toothpaste (travel or regular sized), small bottles of mouth wash, small bottles of shampoo and conditioner, brushes or combs, deodorant, hand lotion, body spray, and razors.
As a special thank you for donating, all customers who contribute at least 3 items or $5 will receive a coupon for 35% off 1 item from Trilogy! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to help bless your neighbors at your local Baltimore shelters in need this holiday season and get a gift of our gratitude in return.
Enjoying affordable cannabis in Maryland doesn’t have to be difficult. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a new enthusiast, there are plenty of ways to get the most out of your products without overspending. We have some of the best ways to find affordable cannabis in Maryland.
Buy in Bulk (When It Makes Sense)
Purchasing larger quantities, like an ounce instead of smaller increments, often comes with discounts, especially when we have our Big Bag specials (7g and up). For example, an pre-packed eighth may cost $40-$50, but a pre-packed quarter is generally priced around $65. Our house packed flower is usually even less! Purchasing by the gram or individual pre-roll can add up quickly, especially for those with higher tolerances who are purchasing more frequently.
Look for Deals and Discounts
Keep an eye out for our daily deals, first-time customer specials, Flash sales, and loyalty programs. We also offer discounts for those with birthdays, veterans, and most days have something special for our medical patients. Signing up for our newsletter or our loyalty program keeps you in-the-know on our latest deals.
Choose Value Strains
Premium strains might have higher potency or exotic genetics, but mid-tier options often provide comparable effects at a fraction of the cost. Don’t overlook smaller nugs or “shake” packages—they’re perfect for edibles, rolling joints, or vaporizing.
Invest in Accessories That Save Product
Using high-quality accessories like vaporizers or grinders can extend the life of your cannabis. Vaporizers extract cannabinoids more efficiently, and you’re actually able to utilize the “used” cannabis when cooking edibles. Vaped cannabis is decarboxylated from the vaporizer already, so it’s ready to throw in some butter or baked goods without any complex cooking. Grinders like Stache’s Grynder have compartments for keef, allowing each nug you grind to produce finely-milled, extra potent keef. Adding bits of this to your flower means you get to feel the effects while using less product overall.
Consider Edibles
Instead of purchasing 10 packs of 10 mg edibles every so often and letting the cost add up, look for edibles in higher dosages and split them up into small pieces. Medical patients can buy 40 mg edibles, and even for our low-dose crowds, 40 mg edibles split into 4 pieces means a 40 mg 10 pack becomes a 10 mg 40 pack. Not a medical patient? Consider purchasing “ratio edibles” with additional cannabinoids that can make your high much more fulfilling.
Experiment with Microdosing
Lower doses can help you find the sweet spot where you experience desired effects without overconsumption. Microdosing stretches your stash and may improve your overall experience.
Explore Different Formats
Concentrates like live resin, rosins, hash, budders, badders, and shatters may have a higher upfront cost but are extremely potent, meaning you’ll use less product per session. Similarly, tinctures and capsules can offer precise dosing and last longer in your system, meaning you don’t have to dose as often.
Use Fresh Products Wisely
Proper storage is crucial to prevent cannabis from drying out or losing potency. Invest in airtight, UV-protected containers, and store them in a cool, dark place. Keeping your stash fresh ensures you get full value from every purchase.
Consider DIY Options
Roll your own joints or pack your own pre-rolls instead of buying pre-made options. You can add concentrates to your pre-rolls and make them go even further.
Don’t Overlook Shake or Trim
Pre-ground cannabis, often referred to as “shake” or “trim,” consists of smaller buds and pieces that break off during handling and packaging. While shake is generally less potent than whole flower, it’s a budget-friendly option that shines for specific uses:
Perfect for Edibles: Shake is ideal for making cannabutter, oils, or infusions since potency isn’t a primary concern in these preparations.
Great for Infused Joints: For those who enjoy infused joints, shake can be paired with concentrates to create hand-rolled options that are both flavorful and potent without wasting premium whole flower.
Convenient for Casual Use: Shake is pre-ground and ready to use, saving time for rolling or packing bowls, especially for those on a budget.
We offer shake or trim at a fraction of the price of whole flower, making it a versatile and economical choice for creative cannabis enthusiasts.
Looking for affordable cannabis in Maryland doesn’t mean compromising on quality or experience. By planning smart purchases, taking advantage of discounts, and exploring creative ways to use your products, you can enjoy cannabis without overspending.

BALTIMORE-No two commercial cannabis grows are made the same. This became evident as our Trilogy Wellness team had the chance to tour Evermore’s grow and processing plants.
Some of the terms and procedures that I had learned at the Kind Therapeutics grow site, became familiar with me the second time around at Evermore. But each grow and processing site takes a different approach.
A lot of indoor grows are something that the public would never know about. It turns out that when I lived in north Baltimore, I was a stone’s throw from the grow. Most grow operations want to keep it that was as to not draw attention from the work being done.
Evermore flower has always tended to be a bit fruity than most strains which peaked my interest years ago after obtaining my medical card. Gary Nusinov, Senior Vice President of Cultivation at Evermore, said he and the head growers like more of the fruity flavored cultivars. You can see it in their strains with names like Blueberry Dumplingz, Lucky Orchard, and Peach Zeason.
Genetics and Pheno Hunting:
What sets Evermore apart from most growers in Maryland, is their focus on genetics and pheno hunts to find the perfect cultivars to grow. The company wanted to break-in to that space. The result is some of the most consistent and robust cannabis east of the Mississippi.
Head growers, Tom Klasssen and Austin Weiskittel, set out in 2016 when Evermore opened, to produce some of the best breeding work in the state. It paid off as an in-house breeding project has helped the company produce some incredible genetics. Klasssen says he hopes to keep banking genetics in an effort to one day after a vast genetic library as he puts it.
Klassen says that they have nine flowering rooms where they plant and harvest one every week.
Flash Frozen Flower:
This part of our tour really captured my attention. I had always read about flash frozen and why those live resin and rosin vape carts taste so amazing. We learned from Will Reckner, Vice President of Processing & Extractions, that the top part of the plant is cut and flash frozen. This technique preserves all the terpenes and cannabinoids. Workers could be seen feeding fresh cannabis into a machine. No hanging, no drying. Workers carried massive buckets of the flower into a freezer. Reckner says Evermore says itself apart from the pack with this technique.
He says that the big difference in live resin and live rosin is butane. Butane gases are used to extract live resin. This is done is an extraction room due to the danger of flammable gases. All solvents used for concentrates are later removed in the curing process.
Did you know that our bodies are designed to interact with cannabis? All of us have a complex regulatory system that called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). It is a group of receptors throughout the human brain, body, central and peripheral nervous systems. The ECS creates and maintains our body’s internal stability (homeostasis) by adjusting the flow of neurotransmitters and regulating bodily functions including appetite, sleep, emotion and movement (just to name a few). The discovery of the endocannabinoid system has impacted nearly every area of medicine and sparked extensive studies into the pharmacological, biochemical, and clinical effects of cannabis.
Cannabinoids found in cannabis interact with the ECS and will either up-regulate or down-regulate a variety of physiological and cognitive processes. Cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD) bind to receptors in both our brain (called CB1 receptors) and body (called CB2 receptors). The CB1 receptors are found primarily in the brain and spinal cord and mediate our psychoactive and physical effects, whereas CB2 receptors are predominately located in our peripheral nervous system and help to regulate immunity and inflammation.
Cannabis contains more than 100 types of cannabinoids which all have different effects depending on which receptors they bind to. Researchers believe cannabis is so effective in treating so many different ailments because of the versatile way the plant’s chemical compounds act on all parts of the body- not just the brain. Each product and strain has a unique cannabinoid profile that can be used to target specific symptoms and provide different types of relief. Ask our Trilogy experts which types of cannabinoids are best to treat your symptoms so we can recommend an appropriately suited product.
