NETA has excellent quality products, having tried their edibles, flower, and shatter, and a knowledgeable staff that constantly gives off good vibes and seems to enjoy a good conversation without being pushy or annoying. The flower is top notch. It really does not get better. Of course some strains are not that strong, but really that's a good thing, as bigger variety means more patients' needs are met. That said, pretty much every day they have at least one strain that batch tested at greater than or equal to 25% total active cannabinoids (TAC), often one pushing 30% or higher (the Bruce Banner seems to always push 35%, and my personal favorite, Flo OG, seems to always be above 30%). Marijuana really does not get more potent than this, East or West coast. That said, these super-potent batches usually seem to sell out before the end of the day, but from what I've heard they're only going to be expanding their grow operation, so I think this will be getting better. Their shatter routinely clocks in at 90%, depending on the strain. A few days ago they had an indica-dom hybrid shatter that tested at 94.9% TAC. That's the highest test result I've ever seen for shatter, notwithstanding people boasting (without proving) they can squeeze an extra couple percent out of there. Truthfully, most people's shatter does not ever break 90%. Once you're into that level, there's no point knit-picking the difference of a few percentage points. It's top-teir strong. Done. The visuals of the shatter vary with batch and strain, although the Arcata Trainwreck shatter I got a month ago or so was pure amber. Gorgeous. Best looking shatter I've ever seen in person and I've seen a lot. It was also some of the sweetest tasting vapor I've ever experienced, to the extent that the vapor can even be tasted. That said, the looks and taste are pretty irrelevant. There's all kinds of reasons, as I understand it, that shatter can become darkened that have nothing to do with the quality or safety of the extraction. I really don't care too much about commenting on the taste, size, or scent of the plants/nugs either, as these things have nothing to do with the quality of the psychoactive effects and are purely subjective. Some tokers may feel they have such superhuman perceptions of the taste of their incinerated plant matter and oils that they can sense differences between different people's products on the molecular level before incinerating them, but let's face it, even if that were true (it's not), most of us do not have such rarefied senses, and nobody smokes weed for the taste anyway. Give me a break. Sorry-not-sorry to call out power trippers. Nevertheless, these weeds smell, look, and taste phenomenal to me. If I could I would post some HD photos to show you how dank these nugs are and how clear this shatter is. Most importantly, they will get high you AF. If they don't, you and your wallet need to take time off from the holy ganja.
