For a while I've been going to Berkley Patients Group in Berkley which is very legitimate although usually pretty busy and a slightly annoying drive from where I am. I was recently turned on to a local co-op.
This place, unlike the Berkley place, is pretty shady. There are no signs or anything on the door, and the way itā??s setup it would look to a bystander like it was some sort of utility extension to the nearby local shop rather than a place of its own.
The stuff I've gotten from there just smells heads and tails above pretty much any other weed I've gotten for a long time, including $60 top tier 8ths from the BPG. The stuff is also VERY sticky, like just breaking off a small bud to pack in a pipe will leave your fingers smelling like sticky bud for the next hour. It also has very good taste when you smoke it.
But the stuff is a bit harsh on the lungs in general. In addition to coughing a bit more than normal my lungs just seemed sore in general this morning after smoking just a normal few bowls last night.
I've heard stories about people spraying all kinds of chemicals on their weed to try and make it smell better, even stuff like Windex. I wonder if there is any truth to that.
In general I'm a bit suspicious about this co-op. While I was at the counter, I asked for a recommendation on which bud to get. The guy grabs a jar and pulls out a bud ā?? which like the other stuff smells just out of this world. The guy tells me ā??Itā??s her favoriteā? referring to the owner of the Co-op who was also in the building. I decided to get some. A minute or so later when I was still at the counter, the owner chick came behind the counter and whispered to the guy ā??What did you tell him?ā? to which the guy replied ā??I told him itā??s your favoriteā?. Meanwhile Iā??m thinking to myself ā??Iā??m 3 feet away, I can hear everything youā??re sayingā?¦..ā?
Overall it left me with mixed feelings about this place. Iā??ve never doubted the quality of the stuff I get from BPG, but this stuff really is a league above anything Iā??ve ever got from BPG in terms of taste, smell, and stickiness. But I donā??t know enough about growing to know what you have to do to achieve that sort of super-smelly, sticky bud, and what potential compromises might have to be made in other areas. The vibe I got from this place, I wouldnā??t be surprised if they are ā??doing somethingā? to the weed to make it smell that good in order to sell more of itā?¦ but Iā??d also like to believe they are just really good at growing since the place is much closer to my house. Iā??m just not sure.
