No kidding I read that only 65 places have applied for licenses so far and there isn't much time left....
Has anyone been to C3 lately over on Federal in Federal Heights...have'nt seen then talked about in quite a while...what kind of decent Bud do they have in stock right now? need to pick up some medicine in the next couple of days and they are the closest to my house.
Hey guys/gals, I just joined these forums finally and wanted to let you know about my reviews website: MMJ in Colorado
I've reviewed about 15 strains so far and 2 edibles, and much more is coming. It's only been going for about a month now, and we just moved to the official domain early this month.
Right now I have reviews from Botanico, Dr. Green Gene's, The Grasshopper (on Federal), Nature's Kiss Medicinal Lounge, and The Releaf Center. Multiple reviews recently for the Grasshopper, as I got a few sampler bags and ended up reviewing almost all of them. If you want something pretty heavy that tastes nice in the vape, go grab some of their Sugar Hashplant -- very stoney and long-lasting. I loved their Durban too, super fragrant and tasty... both of those were vendor strains actually... their in-house stuff is normally my favorite.
Anyway, I can't step to the photos that StrainMan and KindReviews have, but I take a ton (over 500 up now) and make them all available so you can judge for yourselves. I'm getting a much nicer camera very soon, so the wide shots especially will get a lot better... right now it's mostly a USB microscope. The site's PhotoBucket gallery is here and the pictures are separated by dispensary and for the most part, the strains are grouped together: Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket
I didn't want to just show up and advertise, I promise I'll be a contributor here haha... I'm very pleased to be a part of the CO MMJ scene and the review community. Props to StrainMan and Kindreviews. I'll do some quickie reviews here in this thread and might end up with my own thread later...
Let me know if you guys have any feedback about the site. My friend and I are handling everything and it's my first go, so be kind (no problem for this community)...
And yeah, the licensing thing is crazy... I don't think it's a very wise move to plan to continue operations without a license. I guess some owners plan to be test cases! Doesn't seem too smart when the DEA and various local authorities and politicians are trying to make big-man stands. I'll definitely be sad if some of my favorite shops end up closing (either for a while or permanenty), but they've had enough time to take care of these things... you know it was coming. I hate the taxation and arbitrary licensing restrictions aspect (especially when the general fund is padded with the registry money... still haven't gotten my red card 4 months later) as much as anyone, but it's inevitable and it's pretty shocking that more owners haven't gotten their stuff together to at least apply.
The ones that sent everything in aren't even guaranteed to be accepted, so the number is even less than the 60-something that had applied earlier this week. For the sake of patient access, I hope something gives.
MMJinColorado - Your comments are certainly appreciated. We've been working hard for a while now and feel like we've built our own niche in the review field. Everybody enjoys a little different information in a little different format and we are all about folks having their druthers. We are proud of what we are doing (and intend to do in the future) so we can't ask for much more than that.Quote:

We aren't affiliated with any dispensary at all, and we want them all to succeed, but barriers to entry have proven useful in almost every business field known to man and they typically serve to protect the end consumer. The lower the barrier to entry the higher risk of getting ripped off (just think of all the roofing contractors knocking on front doors after a hail storm as an example). We'd prefer Shangra La, but we'll take Colorado for now. :)
I haven't been there or heard much in some time. I'll go back this coming week and let you all know how they're doin.Quote:

They said it won the patient's choice at the 2010 Caregiver's Cup. I looked around online looking for results from the event or more info on the strain's lineage and came up empty. Anyone got anything?
Tastes Diesely but they had it listed at 100% Indica (dude at the shop said that was a mistake and it's more like 80%). Definitely strong, I'm "doing the Timewarp again", as they say. I've wanted to get up and cook dinner for about an hour now but have just been futzing around doing nothing haha...
Props to the Incredibowl guys too -- I can't stop using that thing. Not sure if they have any more, but Denver Med Stop had them for $125 plus tax on Saturday, which is the best price I've seen in town by about $60. Just in case anyone wants one, they're on E. Colfax at Jasmine, phone is (303) 573-6337... worth a shot.
KindReviews: Thanks for coming in yesterday. I missed you when you were in shop but can't wait to read what you've got on the G13. The Jack Flash will be done in about a week, everyone always gives it props.
Ry: We're about to bring on a new line of edibles, really impressive. Organic from the bud up, great flavor. The 'Cappuccino Crisp' I tried had organic orange zest in it that took the whole thing up a level. I'll let you know when we get them in.

We'd expect nothing less. We're all about honest, thoughtful feedback. I have your card and will shoot you an e-mail for sure.
