Hey does Budding Hope deliver to albuquerque?
Have you heard.....the medicine from the now defunct SF Institute of Natural Medicine is now available through Mother Earth. Giving Tree in Farmington ceased operations back in September, so I doubt they have any medicine available. They both had to have everything removed from their facilities by Friday of this week. So sad to see any of the producers go, but especially the first one. Their meds were first class.
Budding Hope appears to deliver everywhere in the state.Quote:

Good growers will be in demand, mediocre growers, not so much.
Willieboy Your right on that cream allways seem to rise to the top. But I see the producers are all getting better but some better than others.
Oh wow so SFINM transferred all their product to Las Cruces? I thought SFINM was based out of Santa Fe? Seems like a huge hassle to transfer everything to Las Cruces?? Unfortunately I never got the chance to try SFINM but I heard nothing but good things. Also, thanks for the info on BH CFO =)Quote:

However, as a cannabis connoisseur, I am proud to say that I've found at least 2 or 3 places that I frequent out of the 10 or so I've tried. What really bothers me...is that I can literally find an ounce of master kush on the street for 250.00...whereas a place like NaturalRX charges 15.00 per gram all the way up...15x28= 420.00. Almost a 70% price increase. That kind of situation IMO is just WRONG.
Santa Fe's loss is Southern NM's gain.Quote:

I would imagine at that price that it may be some of the CA medicine being imported to NM that didn't pass inspection in CA. Have been watching "Weed Wars" on cable and learning lots of things I didn't know previously. You could be smoking/injesting spider mites and their excrement in that $250/ounce Kush! Buyer beware.
The NM LNPP prices will continue to decrease as supply increases. Prices range from $8 - 20 per gram right now. Cheaper is rarely better. Just as our organic produce in the grocery stores, organic medicine is more costly to produce and thus more costly to purchase.
Good....post.....here is the problem I see in most if not all MMJ states.......there is a difference between weed and medical quality cannabis.....and that difference can and most often is HUGE....dispensarys will attempt to make the most money....and quality suffers.....Why would anyone want to grow Sour D or almost any OG when it takes 10-12 weeks? when they can grow a big bud cross and harvest in 7-8 weeks? the markup on the medicine is the same and costs are way less.
As a patient you have to decide what medicine you want to put in your body....cheap outdoor....inferior indoor....average indoor.....mexi-brick weed....or truly AAA medical quality that is certified organic, with strict guidelines.'
Here is a strain that takes 10 weeks (green thai x pre98 buba x og kush) "green thai og"...not a very good yielder to grow but thc content is over 22% CBD near 1%

Here is another strain that takes 10+ weeks (Blackberry kush x pre 98 buba x OG kush) "Black bubba OG" ....another small yielder but very high thc content.

With all the changes happening with the federal government and their stance that even though your state voted for MMJ....in their eyes it is still against federal law....I believe the MMJ movement will continue to change...you are going to see more and more dispensarys close.....I see this movement as more of a grower to patient direct process....and I believe that is where we will end up....
Now....I know that I kinda jacked this thread....but the short answer is to grow true medical grade cannabis....it takes experience...time...and lots of hard work....seems like everyone thinks, go to you tube watch some urban growers shows...and bam....I am an expert...but what they find out...is they have just grown B grade indoor weed....and that is what is available at most collectives...not saying they will not get better, if they stay the course...of course they will......but growing is not easy....and growing medical quality cannabis is very time consuming, most people fail.
Sorry for the thread jack....just my 02 cents
All jar cured for 30 to 60 days
I totally understand where you're coming from CFO, and under any other case yes I would be wary of purchasing weed from the street. However, I hypothetically know exactly where this master kush is coming from, from production to delivery. That's the only reason I used it as an example, cause I was actually able to compare the one fro NaturalRX with the other and there was no difference. At all. I'm kinda tempted to take them some and see if they can tell the diference themselves haha. LOLQuote:

I mean, it's obviously an OG but just poorly grown. At this point in our state, it really is up to individual dispensary's discretion on how they want to grow their medicine. What is on my mind is the fact that so many people automatically believe organic is better on all levels. I understand the need for organic grown medicine, especially for those patients with suppressed immune systems, but one cannot deny that there is badly grown organic medicine out there. Is it really worth trading off that much quality of product just to label it organic?
