LMAO! Rating the dispensary girls... Colorado Dispensary Girls Calendar 2010

I was going to post the same thing but didn't want to be called out for chauvinism...

Went to CAM today, a LONG ride for me. I only got a couple of grams as funds are tight until I get paid later this week. The place is clean, good parking, classy setup. The buds all looked great. I liked that you picked up the jars and they had a nice magnifying glass mounted on the case so you could check stuff out. I went with the Banana (genetics unknown) and the Dutch treat, and both are good stuff. Honestly though, for the price (and the drive, and least in my case) I wasn't real impressed at $20 a gram.

HOWEVER, I do plan to head back this weekend and grab some of their fire strains, K1, K2, and that AK, which looked NICE!

The buds were all very nice looking, top quality stuff for sure, and at $50, not badly priced. No girl today, just the owners, who seemed nice enough.

I'll be sure to come back after I try their top stuff out.

I guess my conclusion on CAM is that their strains aren't the most pungent or pretty looking, but I've always gotten strains that were 9/10 or 9.5/10 for me. Nothing to complain about, for sure.

^Yeah, it's starting to get old for me to review quality.

I find most of the dispensaries that we review on here (and I think people on here seem to hit the ones with good reputations) have pretty similar quality buds. They are all what I would call average specimens of high-quality buds. I think you do find the occasional gem in the dispensaries that is a great specimen of top-quality nugs....

I also want to get into CAM to get some K1/K2 though...

[FarmerSteve]

I agree. I mean, how far can you take something? Good herb is good herb! For me, I just want a boatload of Cantaloupe Haze and to find a bomb indica (where o where art thou?) and I will be good to go :rasta:

Steve, you gotta make it up to THC. They're bound to have a good indica in there. Look at Strainman's review. They had a White Widow that they harvested late with primarily amber trichomes... sounded pretty stoney.

Alright, went back to CAM today to sample their Durban Poison and picked up a tiny bit of G-13 that should be out in the next day or two. They had some yummy looking strains in the back.

Anyhow, Anna told me she read this thread...how embarrassing!

[kingminus]

Went to CAM today. Durban Poison FIRE and one of my favs - Grape Ape! The K1 and K2 I was told aren't as bomb as usual but the Spicey Jack(?) is real good and of course the AK is fire as always. Word! No Anna tho.

[diamante73]

I did hear that grape ape was amazing. I'll have to go get some. It's a sativa though, no?

Hey there- so first of all I want to say thank you to all the very nice comments and reviews on CAM. My name is Anna, aka owner of CAM, front desk chick, 8 yr grower, IT consultant and all around pretty laid back girl that does wear leotards. I just had a few things to say...

1. I completely agree that the majority of dispensary's out there are out of thier minds selling $ 65 eights plus tax. We cap at 50 and have many $ 40 strains.

2. For my new friend lampost, I agree at times I can be a bit of a social btterfly, but I am pretty sure I said most strains come from seed and your right there are many funky phenotypes that are clone only- i.e. chemdawg4- a clone we actually carry. The P. Urkel we have is grown from clone in buckets in coco as a medium... P Urkel or Humbolt Purple has been growing in S Humbolt county since 1989. The mendo cats are responsible for renaming it "Lavender" among several other names...
Yes, every once in a while our store manager may over medicate, but I have to say my memory is crystal clear and he is on of the most knowledgeable people I know and I am sorry you had to repeat yourself like 8 times. Plus we love constructive criticsm at CAM and we are trying to keep it real so I appreciate your compliments.

3. We keep 85% of our herb in house- IE if its not ours its friends of ours. Dont get me wrong, I have 18-25 folks a day trying to sell me blueberries, insurance and security. Also, vendors and vendors alike can we have some standards of curing, trimming, flushing green crack is not supposed to actually crackle)?? I treat vendors just like I would like to be treated;

4. I wouldnt say I dont have any knowledge- but I am ALWAYS learning - especially in the area of cultivation. After a 4 great years of soil, 3 years of tubs and trays and GH, followed by a 3 year hiatus I have settled on buckets, House & Garden.

5. Lastly, as a brand new joint we want to keep getting better and having better product at fair prices- so we love the recommendations. ps every gurl loves to hear they loook good in or outta leotards- even if they are engaged to the budtender.
Peace boys- i hope to see all of you all soon at CAM.
