I truly understand how much time and effort it takes to grow high quality flower but with that being said, these people are out of their minds. Prices are Way WAY too expensive with no justification. Even medical pricing. (FYI a lot of Rec buyers purchase for medicinal reasons but can't afford to drop a couple hundred on a card). You people, just like a few other places, are capitalizing on the fact that the pickings are very slim out here in terms of finding quality flower and it's disgusting. Places like ore grown are toxic for the industry and the culture.
Quality has fallen off significantly. It seems like on the rare occasion that they do get something good i.e. NOT auto trimmed, NOT poorly manicured, NOT poorly cured and NOT EFFING GREENHOUSE. I'm sorry but no matter how much your staff insists, greenhouse, or at least the greenhouse bud you all get is NOT the same quality as indoor. There was a time when I would walk in and could barely choose because the selection was bursting with big healthy buds with an amazing terp profile and just frosted in trichomes, all framed by a perfectly manicured nug. Now all I see is one or two ok-ish looking strains and straight garbage. Please step your game back up to where it was. Please do a better job vetting your suppliers and increasing quality control.
First and foremost i want to commend DT Madras for its EXCEPTIONAL customer service, from staying open until late night, to warm and inviting bud tenders to eye catching, unique strains, they have a solid foundation for a great shop. There is one large disappointment that I face EVERY TIME i visit. This is the fact that, though the variety is plentiful and the strains are unique, the product itself has gone from a let down to down right disappointing. I feel like this location gets the left-over "buds" from the other Diamond Tree locations. I say this because EVERY jar is filled with shake, stems and micro sized nugs that are mostly all stem and look like they've been handled thoroughly and drying out in a turkey bag for a couple weeks. Either that or its popcorn. This is the one and only reason why I haven't made this shop my go-to, regular stop. Now I just stop by when i desperately need to medicate and no one else is open. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE fix this! I know from coming often that most of your customers have less to spend thus the BB shake is sufficient, but i know for a fact that there are plenty more people, especially myself that would really, REALLY appreciate some well trimmed, decent sized, healthy looking buds to take home. Thank you. For your time and know that this is nothing personal. Cheers!
Like a lot of other people, I first heard about this strain through music. Then all of a sudden it seemed like everyone in their mother were talking about it! I had to do some research and let me tell you, it only intensified my desire to try it. So many different, exciting strains all packed into one beautiful plant. This week I finally got a chance to try it! The person I got it from won a cannabis cup (or whatever its called) for his GSC so I was definitely on board. I picked up and eighth and rushed home. The buds didn't look impressive in the dim car light, however when I took them in the house and put them under some light, it was like seeing the Mona Lisa for the first time. Vibrant lime green and rich purple leaves were garnished with lovely reddish orange hairs. Talk about bag appeal. The buds alone could have been a center piece! The smell alone deserves it own review but thats for another time. The smell was so indescribably strong and out of this world, difficult to pinpoint. 4 Grams permeated every inch of my full size SUV. And that was even after keeping it in a baggie and in the glovebox. Now to the smoking experience. Usually i use a grinder but these buds were SO DAMN sticky! It was like they had been dipped in glue or something. I decided to ditch the grinder and break it down by hand. And boy was it dense. A small .3 gram nug yielded three decent bowls. I barely touched the flame to the bowl and the bong immediately filled up with thick, rich, flavorful smoke that was surprisingly not very harsh at all. Before I could even exhale I could already feel it. My body became immediately relaxed, pain from my gastrointestinal problems were non-exist and my body had a pleasant warm tingly sensation that made it feel like every molecule in my body was being massaged. Then I exhaled. As the smoke, that somehow seemed thicker now, left my lungs and mouth, my mind went with it in the best way possible. All of the anxiety and depression I experience was washed away like a wave returning to the ocean. The high was nothing short of euphoria. Im usually a quiet reserved person but I found myself singing, even dancing a little, laughing a lot and just having the absolute best time of my life. No words can do this justice. The best part is I only needed about a third of the amount I usually smoke to get medicated. The strain didn't have a dramatic or unpleasant comedown and it didn't force me go to sleep. Instead made me feel increasingly more relaxed and calm and at peace to where i got to the point where lying on my bed felt like relaxing on a cloud wrapped in a goose down blanket. Eventually I drifted off to a DEEP, peaceful sleep, allowing me to wake up feeling energized but not anxious and also very happy. If you come across this strain, DO NOT PASS IT UP!
