KR thanks for that post. It helps kind of understand where you're coming from.

I've also been smoking for 15+ years. And I've been hitting dispensaries for nearly 6 months now. I had a good job that allowed me to sample 8ths/grams from places almost on a daily basis, i.e. probably as much as or more than marijuana reviewers.

CCF is the ONLY dispensary where I feel I haven't gotten some kind of tarnished bud be it either mold, wetness, immaturity, improper/no cure, chemical/neem taste, etc. This has happened multiple times at many dispensaries. Over time, I unconsciously started showing up at CCF more. I noticed over time that the quality was far above par across the board there. Yeah, you MAY occasionally be able to find something as good or better (debatable) at certain other dispensaries, but you will also be let down more frequently. And I know of no other shop with the in-house quality and selection... Even when considering THC up in Rollinsville - most of those jars are vendor weed from my understanding.

You know it started out FarmerSteve really talking these guys up. I went once and didn't really see what he was so excited about. I thought he worked for them! Then after 2-3 more trips I'm singing the same song!

So I see where you're coming from although we will have to agree to disagree. I've had Banner from D9, I believe it was number 3. IMO most of my purchases from CCF have been as good or better than the Banner. And good luck getting yourself some Banner anyway!! The only thing I really didn't understand was the stuff from Herbal Connections getting an A+!! I've been in there countless times and they've never had anything remotely good as what I've gotten at CCF. I sometimes wondered if they even had the connections. They have far too much questionable vendor product there. I suppose they could've gotten lucky with good product a few times.

And I understand you're not rating dispensaries! I guess I'm just trying to give some insight on why some people feel CCF got robbed. I just hope that you'll make it into CCF for a few more reviews so you may see what some of us see in CCF.

Peace

Herbal Connections never got an A+
