If MMCs would work together, they could each swap their mids, bringing the number of strains they carry to about 15. Personally I don't need a place that carries more than that! After smelling 3 or 4, they start to all smell the same! Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't need to choose from 45+ strains.
How much better does your top sell compared to mids. I'm guessing mids out sell your top & low. It's human nature. Check out the book,
Predictably Irrational
Might change the way you present your product....
It definitely makes one a more educated consumer!
dude you are dead wrong, herbal connections cherry creek has had the best meds ive seen EVER and theyve been getting better and better since 1284. they obviously know what they are doing, grow all their own stuff, and grow it DAMN WELL. and its damn cheap too, 90 dollar quarters of fire, unbelievable FLO, blue dream, jack flash, big bud/NL#5, best deisel ive seen, chemdawg deisel (unreal), GRAPE APE/HASHPLANT BEST STRAIN EVER FOR PAIN. every time i go in there the meds are better and better. im sure 1284 has caused a lot places problems. but honestly, fuck em! the only thing 1284 did to this place was make them close their vaporizer lounge, other than that these guys got it down perfect

So how am I DEAD WRONG - I count 6-7 strains. Of which 2 have potential to be top strains if grown properly. The rest no matter how well it's grown are at best top mid strains. But everyone has different tastes. I do agree with you though that HC-CC has some decent stuff and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, but even they aren't carrying the same number of strain they once did, and neither is any other MMC. Which I think is a good thing! Too many choices make it very difficult for patients to choose. A budtender has to spend a lot of time when many strains are too similar anyway and the end results are very similar. Still say a MMC only needs about 12-15 strains.
I still stand by my original post, but what some might consider Top Fire, for me might be Top Mids - but don't get me wrong I don't think most people even need Top Fire or are able to appreciate it. I know I don't get a chance to enjoy it that often. Like you (going by the strains you posted), I usually enjoy Top Mids.
Think cognacs - I usually enjoy Remy Martin VSOP when I'm out, but have Remy XO at home which I enjoy sparingly several times a month. Couple times of year I splurge and get a snifter of Remy Martin Louie (about $50-90/shot, unless it's my b-day then my favorite bar hooks a brother up). But if I'm hosting a party, I'm buying & providing the lower end Remy VS. My girlfriend - thinks all cognacs are disgusting and would have to get paid to drink the stuff.
If that analogy doesn't make sense then think steakhouses. Some people love The Outback. Me - can't stand their steaks, but will go with friends and enjoy myself anyway. I like Elway's, but even then prefer Elway's downtown over Cherry Creek - why because the steaks downtown are of better quality. Would most people even be able to tell the difference? Doubt it and that's fine.
Or take Thai food - when I first moved here about a decade ago, Tommy Thai had been voted best Thai food for about 6 years running. So of course I had to check it out! Guess what - they suck, no self-respecting Thai person would ever churn out that crap. I'm not saying I have incredible tastebuds, but there are some things I just really know how to appreciate. Now Mexican food & drink is still a new cuisine for me and I'm still learning to appreciate the better Mex food. Right now I can't really tell the difference too much between the various restaurants & their tacos, same goes with tequila. Most tequila taste like crap to me. I've only had one I thought was decent (Asombroso).
As long as you are enjoying whatever you have - that's what's important. Who cares what other people think. If you feel you're going a good deal that's all the better!

But don't tell me I'm dead wrong, and then go on to just confirm what I stated when you explain yourself.

Buddah,
As owner of HCCC, I couldnâ??t agree with you more. Elwayâ??s downtown is way better and quality has taken a plunge everywhere including our shop. Sidenote: I really like US Thai in Edgewater for the fire Thai cuisine. I believe through all of 1284 we worked as hard as anybody to keep quality meds on our shelves for all our patients. It hasnâ??t been easy either, Iâ??ve lost friends, partners, associates, Iâ??ve yet to met a grower who wants to hear he fâ??d up. Iâ??ve seen PM, mite infestations, hermed crops, mosaic virus, pythium, mold like Iâ??ve never seen before. Itâ??s everyone from the best MMCâ??s to the home grows. I see everyone pointing the finger at someone else, but itâ??s widespread. The sad thing is itâ??s easy for me to turn away this bad medicine, but I know they just sell it down the street and it gets into patients hands. To me a patient is a patient, as a person is a person whether youâ??re in my store or anywhere else.
Itâ??s much easier to complain, then it is to change things. We hope to do the latter. At Herbal Connections Cherry Creek we are 100% committed to providing affordable medical grade cannabis that has been screened not only for cannabinoids, but molds, mildew, pesticides, insects and hard metals. I believe this should be standard for our industry. We also provide quality clones, seeds and literature, consulting for aspiring growers, so they can provide for themselves or others.
Before I became part of HCCC I was a patient. As a patient, I saw the need for a better dispensing model. So with my partners help, we created what I believe is on of the nicest environments to get your medicine. Now, Iâ??ve switched my focus to our medicine. Weâ??re popping tons of seeds, weâ??ve sourced some top genetics including Presidential Kush, Super Lemon Haze, Golden Goat(3phenos), Flo, Hog, Anastasia, OG Kush(Tahoe Cut), Trinity, MK Ultra, QrazyTrain, Critical Mass, LGS, Purple Kush, Chemdawg (2 phenos), Headband, Orange Velvet x Purple Urkle, Kushage, Kaboom, Sour Diesel( 2 Phenos), Grape Ape x Purps, Twista, Da Purps, Hawaiian Island Skunk, Blue Widow, Grunk, Sensi Star, Grapefruit, Tang, Chemdawg x Chemdawg Haze and about 40 more strains. We have a team of botanists, biologists, phytochemists and other experts working together to create products and standards that will elevate the industry and bring connoisseur quality back. While we have not quite achieved these goals, our shelves are almost as stocked as theyâ??ve ever been, not everything is connoisseur level, but a lot is, and most is better then everything else Iâ??ve seen, and Iâ??ve been to a lot of shops trying to trade to keep selection up. All we can do is continue to improve, with the focus on providing the best medicine to our patients, like metalbrad, who does not work for me, but I thank you for the compliments. Buddah-we'll bring the Louie back to this town I promise you, when it's up to my standards, first one is on me.

Quality was never really found at many dispensaries. Now the best shops have closed, and most of the good growers have gone back to the underground ways of networking.
There are still some good dispensaries, but there selection may not be as good as it was. And why the hell are these shops still charging $50 or more per eighth?
Dispensaries are only worried about quantity and thats why they are sacrificing quality right now. Most of them are trying to figure out how to grow their own which they should have been doing the whole time.
Most of the quality growers grow smaller amounts for themselves and a few friends.
I like CAM, Pure , and Organix. Herbal Element was my all time favorite ever.

Alot of growers went back underground, but alot of growers opened up legit or are now working with MMC's including the one's you mention. You come to a fork in the road and you choose a path, to each his own. I've seen crap and fire come from commercial grows and from nice home set-ups. It's all about the love you put into it...
