I was looking forward to trying this strain because of all the 5-star reviews. I smoked a 1g pre-roll from the local dispensary. This strain is foul nasty tasting harsh ditch weed with low THC, moderate CBD and the taste of a camp fire!!! What a treat, foul tasting AND below average THC. Oh, did I mention the taste? Don’t get me wrong I love tasty dank Indica’s WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DELIVER. have a slight head buzz... Zero pain relief! I will need to medicate again and soon.
BEWARE OF THE HYPE!!! This is NOT a strain for those needing relief from Chronic pain, anxiety or PTSD.
That being said, I landed on 3-stars because it did give me about 30 minutes of nausea relief and it gave a slight SATIVA like head buzz.
This dispensary has always been clean, safe and ran by a friendly knowledgeable staff.
My bud-tender suggested I try the new Durban Kush Strain 50/50 Hybrid and the Og Kush 4 strain 50/50 hybrid that kicks A**.
Thanks for the recommendations!
I made my first visit to Green Country Bud GCB yesterday March 14, 2019.
First (GOOD) impressions of GCB are:
1. It is located in side an office complex, which made finding a mini-adventure; however, the dispensaries location makes it feel a lot more private than most I have patronized since I received my OMMC in September, 2019.
2. Immediately upon opening the big entrance door I was greeted by a door man, a security guard and warm gallery-like decor that reminded me of a day spa or nice salon.
3. After completing the new patient intake the greeter led me into another room, which was thoughtfully designed to rival dispensaries in Colorado or California. Green Country Bud has a layout very familiar to those of us that have been accessing our medication in states with recreational marijuana before medical became legal in Oklahoma... both food and bad! The good: tidy, organized, competitively priced, provide analytics (THC, THCV and CBD) on just about every cannabis strain the sell and display the analytics on the online menu’s. Also, I had a great Bud-Tender that knew her product, listened to my strain preferences and made alternative suggestions.
The (BAD) of GCB:
1. After listening to my Bud-Tender I purchased (3) strains of flower 2g’s of Yoda (I) at 17.9% THC, 2g’s of Green Dragon (I) 23% THC, and Pineapple Train-wreck (S) 22+%... GCB, uses pre-packaged 1g containers of its flower, (at least at small quantities), which made me feel a bit apprehensive about the quality of the flower since I did not get to look at the actual flower I was purchasing. In fact, if I had not previously purchased Top Shelf (TESTED) cannabis from dispensaries in other states it’s possible that I would have decided to take my business to another dispensary. As I have already mentioned, I had purchased some hard to find pre-packed cannabis strains from other states and found the flower quality to be at least as good as the quality of (pack in store) Top Shelf Flower purchased at similar (chain) cannabis boutique dispensaries. In reality I have had success finding “rare and/or new strains such as Great White Shark, LSD, Tutankhamen” at the prepackaged (chain) dispensaries comes TESTED each 1g, 1/8oz, 1/4oz and 1oz container comes with a humidity control packet sized for the size of the container. Furthermore it’s been my experience that prepackaged flower cost less than that sold by competitors!
I HAVE READ THE SAME PREPACKAGED HORROR STORIES YOU HAVE but my experiences have been good thus far. GCB is a new go to dispensary for my MM needs!
I picked some Great White Shark (aka The Peacemaker) in Colorado at the end of 2018. I finally got around to trying this strain about a month after I bought it and it instantly became one of my all time favorite strains.
I am a Medical Marijuana Patient and experienced cannabis user and i basically bought as many of the recommended strains that grow outside in Oklahoma and Great White Shark is one of these recommended strains that will grow outside in Oklahoma. We have hot, long, windy summers in Oklahoma that can be miserable and sultry or miserable and dry (sometimes both at the same time)! LOL
Anyway, GWS or Peacemaker was a delightful surprise. My first drag was smooth and I could feel my lips begin to tingle... my second drag was even more tasty and smooth than the first! The tingling lips became my tingling mouth then throat and on my third drag (my last drag) that warm tingle seemed to radiate throughout my body relieving both my physical and mental pain. I can not stress how high my tolerance is!!! I can often smoke 2g of top shelf high THC weed and only be buzzed! Three hits off my home packed cone and I was set for almost 2.5 hours. Easy landing that leaves me feeling relaxed and peaceful.
This is a strain that is best used when you do not have a lot that must be done (especially the first time you smoke it). I have been looking for this strain in Vape form in Oklahoma but the strain isn’t well known and it can only be found in the dispensaries occasionally here and it’s has always been and Autoflowering variety, which just isn’t the same!!! Autoflowering strains are actually strains that have been bred with a low THC cannabis AKA ditch weed. The cross (hybrid) produces a very small plant that begins flowering almost as soon as it sprouts. So, one could harvest an Autoflowering crop in 6-8 weeks in some cases. HOWEVER, the THC potency, the CBD potency, flower quality and yield are severely compromised... Do your homework and don’t be fooled!!!
The GWS I was fortunate to purchase was grown via clone inside and it is an amazing strain of medicine!!! It’s high THC and moderate CBD knockout body pains, changes my mood for the better, stops my wild mood swings and has been my secret weapon against depression. This strain eats bad moods in a single bite!!! I love this strain!!!
I really only have one complaint... GWS/Peacemaker is kind of rare to find in dispensaries. I believe it’s a rare find because the plants size and room needed to grow... I am looking forward to growing this beauty...
NO, I do NOT recommend this dispensary! It is however, ideally located in a newly remodeled store that was once a gas station is now Wagoner, Oklahoma’s only ethically questionable MM Dispensary. I assume its prime location location and shinny new decor are solely responsible for bringing in new customers and being the only dispensary in town (for now) draws repeat business. As for myself it’s 3-strikes and You are out!!!... since obtaining my MML I have spent hundreds of dollars at Green Life, which as I already mentioned is (at the moment) Wagoner, Oklahoma’s first and only MM dispensary.
Also, to my knowledge Oklahoma currently has no oversight or compliance agency to insure that ethically challenged dispensaries such as Green Life Dispensary are actually selling advertised Cannabis Flower, Cannabis products or associated products ethically. Furthermore, I have discovered that as an Oklahoma MMP I am at the mercy of individual dispensaries to operate “honestly and ethically”. However, I do have social media, word of mouth and even potential legal options at my disposal as an American consumer...
So, I am taking my business to one of the dozens of ethical dispensaries that operate to provide quality medication for its MMP’s. Yes, businesses have to profit to succeed but not price gouge or sell poor quality cannabis at top shelf or even middle shelf prices. One would also hope that any business that sells a product, service or good for profit should be proud to stand behind that product not forced to do so by a governing agency by operating ethically and with honor.
NOTE: this is my first negative review for any establishment of any kind ever! I also need make clear that I spoke to employees and or the owners regarding each complaint. I have given this business ample opportunities to make things right or even offer a insincere “sorry” but no apology had been offered.
Strike 1
Purchase of two (2) Anarchy Purple / Purple Anarchy HOUSE SPECIAL HOUSE ROLLED pre-rolled cones.
Upon opening each individual pre-rolled cone I discovered each PR cone was loosely filled with what appeared to be dust... Each cone was less than 1/3 filled with this dust that I Hope was obliterated flower. The dust would not ignite and I could I pull a drag through the dust inside the cone. I eventually opened the cones and the contents tasted of dirt “not Cannabis” and was ground into a fine dust almost powder... in the end I was forced to simply throw the dust away.
As, an Oklahoma MMP I am realistic when doing business regarding availability of product BUT as an American consumer I expect product to be as advertised and that the advertised product meet quality standard that are backed by the business... alien concept to unethical business owners trying to get rich on the backs of medical patients pain. My financial loss: $15.00+tax
Strike 2
Upon my next visit to Green Life that I once again spent in excess of $250. Mentioned twice about my displeasure regarding the HOUSE SPECIAL Anarchy Purple/ Purple Anarchy PR Cones that I purchased on my previous visit. The bud-tender helping me pulled up my purchase of the two PR cones in the system. After confirming the purchase my bud-tender looked over her shoulder towards the back and softly said “we have had a complaint or two regarding those”... that’s it. No apology, no were learning as we go, nothing.
It’s funny but I was also not allowed to use my accumulated in store points for that sale because (in her words) the sale had gone to far to be applied. I bought a variety of medication from flower, vape concentrate cartridge and a new vape key-fob style vape battery with refillable cartridge or disposable vape cartridge capabilities. This vape products was a hard sell because of my growing apprehension regarding the quality of their goods and their ethics in standing behind their products. I was finally lured into purchasing the vape by a guarantee for a store refund in addition to the manufacturers 1-year full replacement guaranty for defective part. This item fell apart after a few days. I also purchased various quantities of several different strains of flower. One in particular was advertised and priced as Northern Lights, NL. I pressed the bud tender and was told that this batch was actually NL Auto-flower. Auto flower may be ideal for home growing that retains much of the qualities of its namesake auto-flower is lower quality, lower THC and is a hybrid! I ended up with 3.5 grams of moist stems and moss looking Auto-flower ditch weed that would not stay lit. So, set it aside to dry two days before trying to smoke again. I smoked two cones back to back and other than almost coughing myself to death I got no benefits from this auto-flower bait and switch. 3.5g NL-Autoflower $35.00 + tax for moist stem ditch weed that did not medicate but did make me throw up from coughing.
Strike 2
Yesterday 03/05/2019 I entered Green Life with my defective key-fob dual function vape battery. I was greeted immediately by their security guy who took my MM card and informed me I would need to speak with one of the owners. A few moments later a gruff women appears and barks my name. I no more than walk up to the counter to show her the defective item before she informs me of the items warranty. This “lady” went from gruff to berating in a breath when I mentioned her bud-tenders shop guarantee, which was the only reason I made the decision to purchase this item. The OWNER (Co-owner), belligerently berated me in her store in front of her employees and customers over an inexpensive defective product. I attempted to share my previous issues with her (in case she wants improve her business or be an ethical business owner)... but she as soon as she knew I wanted a refund for the defective item she turned her back and started walking away from me. She continued to berate me in front of her employees and other customers by saying AND I QUOTE: “I can tell... you need to be medicated now”! Money before patients... profit over ethics. If you want to pay premium prices, to be berated and belligerently spoken to in front of all to hear, to be treated like dirt and possibly be sold dirt in a PR cone then Green Life is your dispensary.
I was willing to let one incident of poor quality slide. After all the questionable PR cones cost were less than $20 with taxes. If I had gotten even a generic “sorry”...
I was even willing to write off the misrepresentation of AUTOFLOWERING Northern Lights NL regular NL...
I will not be berated or humiliated by an unethical business.
