Southwest Alternative Care Grand Reopening!

Hi, this is Southwest Alternative Care, Paul Wasicka's favorite dispensary. This is one of the oldest shops in Denver but it's under new ownership.

We'd like to invite Cannabis.com readers to our grand reopening on Saturday September 25 from 11am-4pm. We always have a $45 cap but on the 25th, your first eighth of anything on the shelf will be $35. We'll also have a free BBQ and drawings for a free vaporizer, poker lessons from Paul, and free medicine. Annie's Edibles and the Metaphizz girls will be out delivering (unmedicated) samples and we'll have Dylan Kelly blowing glass onsite. There will also be a doctor in the same building (please call to make an appointment).

Southwest has ample parking, friendly knowledgeable staff, and extremely high quality medicine at very low prices. We have a large assortment of edibles, concentrates, and glassware. We also set up doctor office visits for $30.

Please stop in in and see us or check our daily twitter specials (SWACDenver).

Hours: Mon-Sat 10a-9p, Sun 10a-6p.

What bullshit answers.

If "The Preserve" is your "brand", and you represent this brand, you should at least, explain what this means to us, your potential patients/customers. Sheesh. You think all you have to do is to say its "our brand"? What does this mean? I bet it means nothing. Speaking of nothing, your other answer to your G-13. Let me ask you more directly. What percent of G-13 is it really? 97%? 75%? 50%? 10%? Is it really G-13? If you say G-13 is some myth and you really don't know that there is actually a traceable real G-13 strain at least....well, you're not going to say that now unless you are really stupid. But lets hear what you have to say about what you are selling as G-13 strain. How much G-13 is it and how did you test it? I have the feeling you will never answer this or you will suddenly be out of the strain. I also have the feeling I will never step foot in your shop.

Preserve strains are grown by us. They are grown in soil using all organic methods. We have 6 on the shelf and 40 in the pipeline.

I'm not aware of the test for true G-13 you're referring to but if you post a link I'd love to check it out.

My name is Truman. If you do decide to come into the shop, feel free to say hi.

It appears they did answer the vague questions with vague answers. I don't think I would be mad about it though or unwilling to go into their store because of it.
The preserve brand question only asks what that brand is, it does not at all ask for more information like growing medium, nutriants etc. Is it something they could have volentarily given? Sure but not needed to answer your basic question.

The % question sounds like you just want the THC numbers from a Full Spectrum Lab report. That is the answer that they gave you; they dont know because it has not been tested.

You then rant about that is not what you wanted for answers for either question....well from my 3rd person point of view: ask more specific questions next time up front; or assume the reader is a dumbass and spell everything out up front that you want; or just be prepared to have to ask more specific questions in your follow up posts.

It was pretty obvious to me that what they meant was those were the strains they grow themselves. They weren't taking credit to creating them. Just using a more "flowery" way of saying company-grown.

@Truman/SWAlternative - I think you handled the flamer very well & maturely. Props to you! Don't stoop to their level as it requires a reduction in IQ.

Hey, I'm not a "flamer" and I don't get "mad" over a shop I've never visited or purchased from. Yes, I guess I did ask vague questions but if I'm in a restaurant and ask about the special pasta selections...a good establishment would at least explain further than its "our brand". I know its your brand but all I'm asking you is to sell it! This is what kills me about this industry in its infancy. Most industries would love to be given the opp to sell their signature line and to explain it vs. just being generally vague.

<<Is it something they could have volentarily given? Sure but not needed to answer your basic question. >>

I guess thats fine if I was a cop and the subject was a suspect but I'm a prospective customer for crying out loud! And other prospective patients are reading this. If I was this vendor, I would at least approach my responses w/ this in mind.

<<The % question sounds like you just want the THC numbers from a Full Spectrum Lab report. That is the answer that they gave you; they dont know because it has not been tested. >>

My fault again I guess because I assumed they would know my % question just because it related to the G-13. I didn't want the THC #s, I wanted to know how much of this bud was actually real G-13. I guess they don't know that either which means I'm not interested. Not mad or angry, just my feelings. :jointsmile:

I should also explain that there are plenty of shops/caregivers in this new industry who do explain and promote their strains/products/methods. And some of the best do it right here. I shouldn't paint the entire industry w/ such a broad brush and I think most vendors are getting better every day but there are still way too many who are not professional.

Auggie no worries. I probably should have been more clear.

I try to keep our menu fresh on here. As to our growing methods, we honestly change small aspects with relative frequency trying to upgrade the plants. With any crop we will test about 5 different variables (light, nutrients, CO2 ppm, plant arrangement, veg light hight, etc.)

We don't really discuss how we acquired each strain but I'm happy to have our grower(s) talk with you more about our growing methods and product offerings. In the next few months we'll be offering grow classes that take people from clone to harvest.

I believe we have true G-13. I don't know a way to prove it. Ultimately on any medicine, the proof is in the pipe.

Let me know if you have any questions/thoughts. Thanks for the feedback,
Truman

Actually yes! Paul has participated quite a few charity tournies over the years and we've recently begun discussing hosting one. I'll post details as soon as I have them.

We are carrying seed packs now:

White Widow
Durban Poison

These are F1 genetics, meaning the seeds are breeder's quality, stable strains. The females will look and act the same way.

Each pack contains 10 seeds.
