The last dispensary I went to sold me 3 different strains that tasted like burnt popcorn. Anyone have any idea what could make 3 different strains taste like burnt popcorn? :wtf:
Are there any dispensaries in Colorado Springs that sell good meds and don't make you sign them as your caregiver?

I've had good luck with the two local cannamart locations (CannaMart (http://www.cannamart.com/)), and I think they have a springs spot. You might search thestrainman or kindreviews for springs places.
Good luck.

Thank you.
Do you have any idea what could make meds taste like burnt popcorn?

No cannamart according to their website.
Does westword do reviews for these places? I've checked out quite a few places and mainly found scraps and garbage.

Westword has a reviewer/critic, but he's in Denver and I don't see any reviews from across the state. I would imagine making the drive for a few grams of medicine might not be worth it. I don't imagine he's getting much reimbursement-wise. I don't know, though.
There are a couple of websites that review, kindreviews and thestrainman come to mind. I'm sure there are others, but google those two. However, I think strainman is up north and kindreviews is in denver. Again, I'm not sure, if someone wants to clarify feel free.
Wait awhile, SoCoMMJ (I think, I don't want to be disrespectful) is in the springs but full at the moment. Keep reading these threads, or keep visiting new places. You might have to do paperwork to visit, but MMC's shouldn't require you to sign over your permanent caregiver rights.
I have no idea what burnt popcorn medicine would taste like. The only 'bad' burning I encounter is 'sizzling' or slight crackling which could be bad flush [citation needed], and, more likely, if there is a louder popping sound or the bowl 'goes bad', it could be a seed.
How well do you crush your medicine, how do you consume it? Can you describe what the ash looks like when the bowl is cashed? Color/texture?
For the record, I am not expert.

Highlands is out of business
Trichome Health Consultants will insist you sign over. We had a patient stop in there for chocolates once.
We don't make patients sign over, but since we are low on stock [waiting on harvest] we are currently only selling to our signed patients.
I believe the OP was looking for personal experience. The list of shops on the Westword won't help much.
good luck :)
Hmmmm I wonder if burning mites taste like popcorn? I've seen quit a bit of that floating around town lately.

I agree, but I don't purchase my meds in the springs, and my friend who lives there shops at a place I've never been, she hasn't replied to my text. I know she's happy with her place.
The only resource I could think of were westword and the review guys. I figured there would be more springs people chiming in.

As disgusting as burning mites sounds I would rather it be that than pesticides.
How long do you have until harvest?

I've walked out of a bunch also. This weed looked pretty good though.
I can't smell anything right now because of allergies so that was another problem. I actually thought that may be screwing with my taste buds so I had my buddy and my wife try them too. They say they all have a similar smell and they thought they all tasted like burnt popcorn too.

So the quality down here in the springs really sucks STILL. I've seen better brick weed than some of these dispensaries are serving up. Seems like when 1284 came to be, that a bunch of people who don't know how to grow took over and all the decent meds have disappeared. Do any of you dispensary owners know how to grow or did you just see the dollar signs?

Try this one. I just went to a new one called Indispensary in the back of Independent Records downtown that was the best I've been in since becoming a patient. I've been driving to Denver on Saturdays for meds until this place popped up. I don't think I've seen so much top shelf buds in one room before.:thumbsup: Not cheap though. Word of caution, if you love bud, be careful not to bring to much money if you don't have it to spend. I went a little too crazy and dropped to much of my paycheck.

Hey Feelingrobbed, I like Humboldt Care on Platte Ave. and Peterson Rd. 25 dollar eights allowed four (4) eighths a week. That's a half Oz. for $100. Have fun, and good buds to ya! Von Dank grown. Organically!

I checked out Indispensary on platte (between circle and chelton) today. I was impressed. They have a large selection of good bud.
They were friendly, laid back, but very professional. They have a large lounge area also.
Something I saw here that I didn't see at the other 2 dispensaries I visited in the neighborhood. OTHER CUSTOMERS! That might be a clue as to their quality compared to the others.
Their prices are not cheap though, but they offer a 20% discount to return customers. $60 1/8 for top shelf, not sure what the oz prices are.
The staff seemed sharp and they showed me as many strains as I wanted without making me feel rushed. I brought my 100x pocket scope with me and ended up buying more than I had originally planned.
Apparently they have another location downtown.

I just read that Springs is the NUMBER 1 most religious town in the US... surprised you guys even still have dispensaries. You know... Jesus doesn't like weed :thumbsup:

Im from springs and my neighborhood association sent out a letter telling people to spy on their neighboors to see if they are growing marijuana. I dont think they really speak for the entire community, just a bunch of old bitter women. Their last cause was trying to eradicate taco stands , they failed on that front as well. I love Colorado.

Hey do you guys know other forums where you can freely criticize MMCs without the mods removing the posts? This is the first place I came across, seems like a nice group but small.

This post will probably get removed but there are lots & lots of other forums.
This particular Colorado subforum is probably the smallest but still fairly active compared to other sites. Do a search with terms like: Colorado medical marijuana forum cannabis thc seeds growing thread garden 420 subforum farmer cure magazine CO MMJ - using a couple of those terms & other like them should bring up a ton of other sites.
Each forum seems to have a slight theme/bias. This one tends to have more new people (this CO subforum at least), another I frequent tends to deal with more commercial/caregiver issues, another talks more personal grows. There are also sites that deal just with MMCs & give people opportunity to review them - unfortunately I think most of those sites allow their MMC advertisers to screen their own reviews.
Also unfortunate some Colorado subforums have gotten shut down as people start talking about trading, selling, buying dried flowers. This isn't allowed on most sites. Once OverGrow got shut down (it was probably the biggest cannabis related forum at the time) - it changed the way a lot of sites handle things. There are reasons sites have certain rules - for the most part it's to help keep them from getting shut down.
One thing I do wish this site had that many other sites have is a private messaging system. I'm sure they had one here at one point but people probably abused it and the site needed to cover it's @ss.
FYI - there are sites & forums that are completely specific to Colorado Medical Marijuana but I've found most to not be very active so far. The site owners/managers are trying but I think just being specific to Colorado is a bit too limiting to encourage a lot of activity.
Long story short - there are other sites that allow one to post about a bad experience and this one does too but within reason. I don't think the mods here have a problem if you start a thread, telling your experience. If it just turns into a rant or a flame war back & forth - it'll get closed/deleted and that goes for most other forums too.
All of these sites take time & money to run. Mods of any forum cannabis related or not have a tough job keeping things in check. Cannabis forums have even more to worry about as they don't want any run-ins with law enforcement and risk being shut down.
Good luck & maybe I'll see ya around other forums too.

Cool, thanks man.
I guess they are saying the STICKYS are reserved for the specific purpose of MMCs listing their menus, but you can talk about a personal experience you had with a particular MMC in your OWN thread, which makes SOME sense I suppose.
I like to read other peoples' experiences, the reader can take it for what its worth and make his/her own decision.

I think that's a good plan, to allow them their thread without bashing. Everyone here is unnamed, and there would be too much opportunity for abuse from competitors. That still worries me, but if you hang out here, you realize there is consensus on certain vendors - good and bad.
