I'm willing to take further ideas but I don't know how I could do this more than once at a dispensary because they would know me the next time I go back? I'm also interested in getting to know the people at the store because I enjoy networking in humanity so I want them to know who I am. I do understand your comparison though.

One interesting thing to note, we started the first 40 reviews the way you stated. In fact, the grades have come down since then - likely more coincedence than cause but I found that interesting when I looked over the historical curve. As we mvoed the curve to account for 100 strains it was the early reviews for the most part that we felt could no longer hold their mark against the competition....

The only other benefit I don't want to lose from the current scenrio is that the first time we are in we like to let the owner know what's up so they can give us what they want reviewed. I don't want to turn patients away from a good store based upon a strain I picked off the shelf for curiosity sake because they think the whole shop only has B- stuff. That isn't the end of the world I guess, but I think it feels like the right thing to do.

Honestly, I'm still reading this thread because I want to learn and incorporate further ideas and concepts. We've reached out to Channing on Denver Chronicle and to MMJinColorado, and a new place about to go live called coloradodispensaryreview.com for their feedback and collaboration. I want a place for new patients to go and get an idea of what they are dealing with, where to go, what they can look for, etc. The better that collaboration is, the greater the benefit to the patient.

Forgot - last I read strainman had a price guide on his site to charge dispensaries to come and review them. That was a couple months ago so I don't know if he changed that model?

Well, since this thread has been thoroughly jacked (no pun intended), I'll give you my two cents about KindReviews.

The post about Cherry Creek Health on KR seemed disingenuous to me, specifically:

Quote:

---

You can read our methodology on the About Us page to know that we wonâ??t take money from any dispensary to perform reviews and that we donâ??t grade dispensaries, only medicine. Well the feature page is where we have the opportunity to speak our mind on what excites us for any reason we choose.

---

I have an email that specifically talks about the advertising rate for the "Featured" space, and let me assure you, it is not cheap. The methodology for that section may have changed, but that statement (to me) gives the impression that either previous or future features were not sponsored, which I think is false.

Review sites absolutely depend on an unbiased reviewer, and so you have to set your standards sky high as an editor. I appreciate the professionalism of KR (they called yesterday to apologize for this thread, who does that?!) but I just can't get on board with their model. I'll continue to submit buds for review, and who knows what will happen to the scores... that's the furthest thing from my mind.

Let me know if I'm way off base with this, too, KR guys. You seem like alright people.

Releaf, you are right for sure. We do accept cash for the Featured Page (though only twice has that happened at this step). Our desire was to keep that for us alone but we had two dispensaries actively engage us for that spot, and frankly because we are broke we decided to do it. It is good exposure if a shop wanted to pay for it, and it worked very well for both who did. One did a strain and one did their whole shop. MostHi, NationalWeedographic, real lemon are examples of ones we just chose on our own, no advertising.

We won't change anything we do regarding your shop or any other because you don't advertise. We range from 750-1500 page views depending on weekend or weekday with a very target audience. Some people will want to pay for that extra advertising, other shops use the strains themselves for the only advertising. Truth is a good review or any for that matter is the cheapest advertising online any dispensary could get right now in CO, a gram donated at whatever cost a shop has and exposure on a site with 23,000 monthly page views. SOme shops don't need any advertising, others have told me they are struggling - to each their own.

I will make sure the About Us page gets updated to clearly reflect your concern. I don't want to lead people astray, and frankly I think it was written before the first cash offer came in.

We are sorry this post got jacked. At least you know we are your paying customers as of our Jack Flash pickup Saturday :)

Maybe the About Us isn't the right place to add it in. Should we place a "this feature is a paid advertisement" disclaimer on the front feature text instead?

Word, thought that was probably the story. Sorry to hear about any financial issues you guys might be going through.

And RE: Ingrid from Lotus... I know that grower, it's 100% indica and I'm 99% sure she's the only one in the state with those genetics. I've been assured that she's going to be working with fewer dispensaries after some headaches (and bounced checks) and that we'll be one of them. Did they tell you it was a hybrid?

Actually we were unable to get much info at the dispensary on Ingrid at all. The one person I got some info from wasn't afilliated with the store, and seemed a little unlcear. I will edit that post now - THANK YOU for the information.

Money is certainly and end of all of our work, no other choice in this society right now, but the only issue came when we realized there was no way to get the amount of samples, the photos, the reviews, answer questions, research, and everything else that goes into the site and treat it as an hour or two hobby. We dedicated more time, which is excellent for any reader of the site, but that means less gainful employment for us. Enters advertising which seems to have been a major fly in the ointment. It pays for the service provided in a very small portion and allows us to try to further expand viewership. We feel expanded viewership helps in two ways, it gives further exposure to the dispensaries and it brings more people more information, i.e. having a bigger impact.

When the very first couple reviews went up early last summer we had an email from an older lady who said she had been extremely nervous to do anything about her card and her daughter helped her online. She said she felt much better after seeing our site because she felt like she wasn't alone. I wish I knew we had that impact every day, but even if there is a chance someone else thinks that, it'll be worth it.

I'll give KR the following reviews:

Kindness and willingness to grow as a person- A+

Reviewing ability- I

Business model- To me, it's an "F". How can you make money and be 100% above the possible fray? I can't see a way, but maybe you can make it work, in which case you move right to an "A".


KR, you have what matters nailed. :thumbsup:

And I agree about WW. I do NOT like that crap. Never have.

Steve, as reviewers we are certainly the most open to being critiqued. Thanks for your words and input.

In answer to this point, it will be a GLORIOUS day when we can have advertisers that aren't dispensaries. If an event promoted itself, or a pipe shop advertised, or any other company that didn't grow or sell the medicine was the means to our end, would that allow you to feel more comfortable with the position we've put ourselves in? I ask that seriously because I'm working hard to build those relationships now - if I can please the most vocal and critical I've got a good shot at the rest.... Gracias.

"The most vocal critic"? ;)

Shoot, I just want to see the best things happen. I would L.O.V.E. to have a review team that I could trust and believe in their ability and integrity. I'm just lending voice to the issues that keep such a thing from happening.

After the past few weeks, based on NOTHING involving MMJ or this board, I am at my lowest ebb in a long time in how much hope I have for the progress of our society based on NOTHING other than the fact that people seemingly cannot find the ability to treat one another with just a little, old school respect.

peace.

reviews are always subjective. nature of the beast.

do lab reports get posted anywhere? I like numbers and close ups. ;)

Yeah, it would rule if all the dispensaries that test would archive their results and make them available. Most places will show you, but it would be great to see that information online. I can't wait until there are multiple places doing testing and the prices come down... that will be one of the better revolutions in the scene when it happens, especially if the mold/contaminant test becomes de rigeur as well.

I'm with copobo on this! Couldn't have said it better, I'm assuming relief center is going to post the lab report on the 8% cbd strain in here, but I'd much rather see a website made with nothing but close ups and numbers. I might even create one of those myself :D

I agree...

How much do those tests cost? Say you're testing one strain for THC, CBD, CBN? What if you add in chemicals/mold?

This is something we are currently investigating the legal aspects of. Then the question becomes how does a review site with limited advertising resources afford to pay the 3k per month for the testing ?

Sooooooo, I am opening a review site that will compete with kindreviews. Reviews will be unbiased (we will be paying for the herb we test and not letting dispensaries know we are reviewing untill after the reviews have been posted) and everyone will be happy with the great amount of detail, the more than just tricomb shots and we'll be featuring many per... never mind, I shouldn't give it all away :D "We" may do lab tests eventually but that's not our main concern. Currently we are doing tons of reviews, and will start coding the site this week. Then the Website will open in roughly 2 months from now... :thumbsup: I'm so fucking excited :)

:thumbsup: Thanks, and you guys should be. I thought you guys have had it going on for a while and still do despite the half the bullshit filled in this thread. I'm part of a younger generation, where we do it harder, better, faster and stronger. I think you and KR will like the things our website will encompass and I'm sure you'll "barrow" some of our amazingly simple ideas. I just hope you guys are enjoying the traffic, because it's going to be eaten up soon ;) good luck and best wishes!

-Ben

p.s.
you should've e-mailed me :hippy:

Ben, I did email you yesterday right after you posted your gmail? It said call me and had my cell number. Bummer man :(

I'm not sure I believe the younger = harder part (I've got two daughters 50 weeks apart, deans list in a top tier law school was a walk in the park compared to that! :D I am very excited for you and for the community. If only Coke existed the question would be, do I need soda? When 500 vendors exist, the question becomes, which soda should I get. That's good for us and for patients. Every day I try to elevate my mind (in multiple lights) and your pushing will certainly help. You can still call when you find that email, I like to talk and network regardless. Best.

Would you mind posting your evidence to substantiate your claim? From everything that I have learned in my professional and personal life points to the exact OPPOSITE of what you are saying.

American youth are vastly more ignorant in the fundamental disciplines and more out of shape than ever before. A mountain of evidence has been compiled that shows there has also been a dramatic increase in hard and prescription drug use, depression, and manic disorders amongst the young in the past 40 years. We are becoming dumber, fatter, and more doped up. Hardly an improvement, but if you have some good news, I'm all ears.

I don't know what part of this thread is "bullshit" to you, and I love your heart. but once again, talk is cheap.

Show me.

God damnit steve, YOU SERIOUSLY need to smoke more dawwwwg. The generational thing was a joke hyping my adventure that I *might* be starting. If you are want to make this personal, WTF does "has also been a dramatic increase in drug use, depression, and manic disorders in the past 40 years" have to do with "American youth are vastly more ignorant in the fundamental disciplines"? I'm confused? What are you insinuating, that people are getting crazier (all do respect SUR, no shit sHURElock) or that young people are ignorant? Because I agree on both accounts. My respect goes out to you "grey bushes" (Grandma's boy).

The bullshit I was talking about was the freaking out about ratings. Like who does gives a ______ if you have a difference of opinion- and also the bickering. It was unprofessional and unrequired on both parties. I also felt really bad afterwords that it all went down on a "message board":(. Everything got out of hand because of miscommunication and it's really upsetting knowing how accepting the MMJ community is yet it all went down as it did. So again steve, no offence MANYE and I remember some taller dude chatting Bryan up @ CCF braggin about his wine tasting nose, and if that's you- I bet you're chill so my bad- I own you some burn time if the future ever permits.

-Ben

So uhhhh.......

how about that Jack Flash? So far we have a C, an A, I said A- and now I'm changing it. I'm giving it a D(*) for "Dope!" :thumbsup:


-Ben

*=this D should be treated like an A-ish or depending on you could be a C for cool, a B for bad, an L for lame or even an M for "munchies" :giggity:

Yeah man, that's me. Look, we are in the fight of our lives out here at the moment due to misinformation and people believing that their "knowledge" is truth when in reality it is their belief that they have now come to believe as truth.

For PRIME example, Sarah Palin today advised her followers to stop people with Obama stickers and talk to them. A day after a car was ran off the road for having the same. I'm from a state where they are wholeheartedly APPLAUDING this and are looking forward to a day when they can shoot us. And I mean that. Dead serious.

Misinformation and the perversion of truth, where your belief and/or "faith" becomes one's reality has become the norm. And now we're fucked. That's where we are.

So I attack un-truth anywhere and any time I can. Little lies grow. One day, it's lying to become prom queen or mayor, the next thing you know, you believe with all your heart that God has called you to be president and do a bunch of REAL crazy shit. Sounds crazy, but here we are no? That is the nature of deception and of being deceived. And nobody has been more deceived than I. Thank God there were people who were credible in their chosen interests and kind enough to care that woke my ass up to various things. Look if people want to believe in a broken system and believe people who have no credentials, fine. Half of America will vote for Palin just beause they believe in her beliefs. Not facts or logic, the cornerstones of what has guided enlightened people and their civilizations for eons, but on beliefs. But DON'T tell me, based on nothing but beliefs, that my facts are incorrect for NO other reason.


I can't tell you ANYTHING about 99.9999% of the things on the planet, but I do know taste, and I like opening people's eyes up. I mention my extensive time around wine and people who know wine because it explains why I know what I am speaking of is of truth and value. Not hope and hype. Again, SHOW ME.

If this seems aggressive, I assure you it's not. But it is REAL. I still don't see any logical arguments to the points I brought up.

Again, I dig your heart as well, and I'm not here to crush you or your dreams. But if it's not built on TRUE fundamentals, then it's going to fail UNLESS the hustle (advertising, marketing, lying) is great. So lets all get together, figure out how we can best ENCOURAGE one another to do great things, and it will all work out.

The last thing this country/state/community needs is another hustle.



Palin in '12!!!!!!



P.S. Sorry guys, I have NO time for an edit. If the spelling and stuff is off, please forgive me. I'm afraid my 6th grade education shines through when i can't edit.

Respect steve, and just so you know the " Like who does gives a ______ if you have a difference of opinion- and also the bickering" statement was aimed @ everyone, not you. I was never trying to insinuate your were a douche bag or that you didn't know what you were talking about. Actually, I was agreeing with you But I can see how a person could easily perceive what I said as the opposite. Cheers brudda and I'm sorry (Again) for offending you because I didn't mean that to come across, damn, wheres some good diesel when I need it?

And respect to you. I would NEVER want to discourage a person who wants to do something that COULD make our world a better place. A honest review panel for strains and/or shops would fit that bill.

I think I need to just throw in the towel with trying to open the eyes of my neo-conservative worshipping "friends" from back home. Ever since the health care bill went down, I've been back and forth with them ad nauseum about the fact that it is NOT the end of the world. It also does not make you a communist or an America hater if you are merely not against the bill.

I think after wringing my hands at them on Facebook and wherever else, and I come here afterwards, that combative attitude carries over. And I don't want that. Place and time for everything. While it is true that to make an omelette you need to bust some eggs, some egg are Easter eggs, and cracking on them makes no sense and is in fact counter productive. I hope that translates.

These rednecks got me on edge y'all. Time to go blow a huge bowl. :jointsmile:

I came over a few weeks ago when you guy's got in the house jack flash and I like it a lot. Jack flash is one of my top ten for sure. I have been to many Disp. looking for good jack and there are only three places that have the goods and you are on of them. The grasshopper on 17th and herbal connections across the street. I have to say that you're version is the best looking and has the best taste and smell( tropical skunk smell with a nice touch of lemon mmmm). The high was as good as the grasshoppers, but you guy's take the medal for BEST JACK FLASH IN DENVER!!!!! I have to bring up just one thing that you might have left out. Jack also has haze in it's genetics.( JACK HERER X SUPER SKUNK) X HAZE). I am sure you just left it out of the post. I am not trying to get to picky here, but I am trying to stop all of the miss info that is floating around so we in colorado can become better educated, therefore we can demand better quality product and more educated Disp. owners. Thanks for the great smoke and I look forward to stopping by soon. Also what is up with the FLOTICA. I saw someone on talking up this strain. Is it that good and if it is could you put aside an 1/8 th for me until I can come by sometime in the next few days ( i just lost my drivers license) If this is to much I understand.

On their Twitter, they said the Flotica is gone again. It's a Flo pheno or something I think... it's not a cross but some version of Flo.

Steve, I feel you're pain. I have the same issue with trying to find people who review and actually know what they are talking about. I try to review the few places in denver that are worthy, but people that read my reviews are prob. thinking the same thing. There is one reviewer in the area( the guy that does all of those super positive reviews) who's advice I have taken several times with mixed results. Do not get me wrong this guy does so much for the Colorado MMJ community, but I do think he could be a little tougher on some of the reviews. It seems to me that this man is very positive which is great, but it can also get in the way of a proper review. I have gone to several shops that he reviewed and tried the strains that he suggested and some I did not even buy due to the lack of true dankness, it just was not top top notch MMJ. One other thing that I think is miss leading is the digitally enhanced photos that shops and reviewers are posting. When you put an average looking bud under the scope it makes the trichomes look huge and that can fool many. The only way to make this enhancement work for the public is to know what you're top strains look like under the scope so you can compare. Most of the enhanced photos I have seen when compared to the actual strain in front of you're eyes tell a different story. So what can we do to fix this issue. I am willing to try to get together with some of you guy's and try to put together a trustworthy group of reviewers that people can trust, people that are educated and have a good pallet. We would almost need to meet each other so we can know for sure that the reviewers we trust know what is up. If you are interested in talking a little more just email me at [email protected] and thanks for all of the good posts.:stoned:

That was Me, and it is/was Bomb. I'm outie, and as far as I know they're not getting anymore. I'd call them- Releaf doesn't keep up with the forums too well it seems. I'd love to know the Genetics of the flotica because I can't find shit. It's a great sativa though, I mean just great! :thumbsup:

Hey, cut me some slack, trying to run a business here too! :D

Like MMJ said, we do post incoming/outgoing on our twitter, facebook, myspace, so check your favorite of those for quicker updates. We use forums for feedback and discussion.

Flotica is a flo pheno that has some indica traits but still has an "up" sativa buzz. It's completely sold out. We picked up the last of it (less than an O) and it went in a couple hours.

Thanks for the medal, wb! We'll have it in stock for a while.

Never considered getting a twitter account as I always thought,"who the hell would I want to follow that closely"...guess that's been answered now!

^LOL! Agreed. Twitter is about the dumbest shit there is...

This is the first time I've realized a legitimate use for it... and the plus side is that you don't even have to become a member of twitter to see their updates!! It's pretty handy actually. ReLeaf does a good job about posting what's coming in and what's running out!

Just want to throw out that I finished up that JF from a while back last night. Hadn't have it for a week or more, but it had a much stronger smell and taste then I remember.

The smell was awesome, and the taste was "good plus". Which may not sound so special, BUT using my personal judging matrix, that would put it ahead of almost everything I have had out side of CCF and right next to some of their weaker offerings.

If you could get a nice soil run out of this, I bet it would be NICE.

Damn, wish I wouldn't have forgotten that! ;) Times have been tough lately... That should change soon though :D

Also, does anyone else notice that the taste of your herb can vary greatly by how you prepare it for smoking (be it grinding, cutting, hand-breaking up, etc.)? I find I get the best taste by meticulously hand-separating each calyx from the bud. When I grind it seems like the terpenes release the oils when ground. The odor after grinding is super pungent, but it seems it's a tradeoff for me and some of the taste is lost then when smoking finely ground herb.
