Just Breathe - Binghamton

The people here seem very nice and helpful.
However, some of the product they sell is very bad. So bad that if it was all they sold, there would be zero stars. Some of their products are fine if insanely overpriced, but not the Leal brand.
I went here because my pharm was out of my favorite strain, the one that manages all of my physical and psych symptoms as well as anything I’ve ever tried. I found the strain advertised here under the Leal brand name, rebranded Sapphire Farms from Michigan.
The bud and shake in the Leal bags bore no resemblance to the advertised strain in appearance or effect. I have never seen dryer buds, even after years of storage. These were the kind of dry I’ve only seen in homegrown (I use homegrown in its original sense of totally worthless crap grown in a closet with poor lighting and dried in the microwave). They shatter with light touch. They flame like a torch when burned and pop seeds like I haven’t seen in decades. Remember those tiny holes in your t shirts from back in the seedy days? I didn’t miss them but they’re back.
This weed was obviously grown outdoors with little care. There were fully mature seeds in the buds along with many pale immature seeds. I don’t know if they started out with the actual advertised strain because the growing was so botched as to render the stuff unrecognizable and useless.
What I was looking for is a lovely strain, with a skunky but sweet, gentle on the lungs taste, which provides a sense of well being I can hardly describe.
What I got is harsh on the lungs, foul tasting, and had as much effect on me as field grown male plant shake. I would love to see some oversight where random samples were tested for THC content to determine if they are properly labeled. These certainly were not.
Tl;dr as I’m not sure the people who work here know what’s in every opaque bag they sell (they should) I won’t lower the rating re service. I was the fool who bought unseen goods, and I should have known better.
Very strong caveat emptor on the products. Buy nothing in quantity until you’ve seen it and tried it. And heads up, the prices are insane, for which I blame the state. Get a med card if you can, it’s at least a generally consistent product for the most part.
