What a lot of people don't seem to understand about the co-ops in California, is that they operate just like any other business does. Some have great service and high quality products, some have crap that they try to sell as high quality. Use discretion when selecting a co-op!! Never be exclusive to one, always test as many out as you can to weed out, (no pun intended), the good from the bad. I tried posting a site name for an incredibly valuable source for finding reviews of co-ops, but the name was edited out so I'll just say google around and you should be able to find it. I've only been to one co-op myself but everytime I go there I wish I tried another place, so I will next time. It's not that they have bad quality, everything I've gotten was great, however, I don't think they really know what they have because the strains are never strains I've ever heard of, and good luck if you have a specific strain you are looking for because their selection is really tiny lol. The people working don't seem to know much either, I asked the guy which ones were indicas and judging from the response he gave me I swear he was thinking "what the hell is indica?" lol I'm definitely going to test the waters at another place!
