I was skeptical at first, because I couldn’t understand how they could afford to charge $20 less per 8th ($40) than the previous dispensary I’d purchased the same bud from for $60, but they did not disappoint! If anything, the small batch bud (tower 3) I bought from them was even better quality than what I got from the other place, which I now realize ripped me off pretty badly, along with most of the other dispensaries in the area (Attleboro / Somerset, MA). Black stone Valley Cannabis is definitely worth checking out. Fair prices, fire product, and friendly people.
Honestly, I’ve been disappointed by most of the bud that I’ve purchased since returning to the east coast from AZ, and the “esteemed” Sherb Valley by Heirloom Collective was definitely no exception. I could tell as soon as I opened the jar that it had been improperly cured and stored, which seems to be the main problem out here. It tastes and smells like ammonia or grass, it’s browning on the insides / close to the base of the bigger buds (bud rot?), and the rest of it has taken on a slightly brownish, orangish hue as well, like it’s getting old / going bad already.
To top it all off, I start to get a headache about halfway through one joint of it, which tends to linger for a while. So, I’m probably not even going to smoke the rest of it. At least if it was poorly cured, but just recently harvested, I could cure it myself & still smoke it, but this stuff is basically past the point of no return. There goes another $50!
I’m not sure why it’s gotten such stellar reviews thus far… I don’t think they even seal the jars they sell them in. I can’t remember, truthfully, as I’ve been through so many different jars in the past week trying to find something even remotely comparable to what I’d become accustomed to on the West coast, but I know I’ve only come across maybe one of them that did bother to seal the container. Oi.
