I follow strain reviews to give me insight, chances are if a dispensary has one quality strain they have several. I will visit a place because of a good strain review and then choose using my own senses.

It is soooo subjective about what is the difference between an A+, A or B strain.
Reenster, exactly. I use reviews in the same sense but like I said, I agree with you. One thing EVERYONE has to remember is reviews are unique and individual to the reviewer. It's all preference, perception and an individuals expectations. I know when I went to Bryans for some Urkle, that was the highest expectations I've had yet for some herb and I WAS NOT let down, however it wasn't my "jesus stain". I give the urkle easily an A- although, I can see how people would give it an A, A+ or even B+. The jack flash? I would also give that an A-. Everyone will have their own expectations for an A+ strain but I don't think any dispensaries should be offended for anything above a B+. Furthermore, I like most have smoked a LOT of different herb from dispensaries, and I want to say that 75% of their "A" strains in my world would be a B strain yet I don't complain.

I think the price war is interesting- I've seen places that I would observe have higher overhead costs and still charging 50$ an eight where other places with obvious low overhead cost/simple set ups charging 60$. But that's where I put their herb where their mouth is. If I have 2 strains that I though were legitimately an A in my book and one was 60$ and the other 50$, well the 50$ one get's the A, and the 60$ gets an A- for real.


I've since stopped posting my reviews here because I can't help but to think whether these places really genuwinly want to know what their REAL customers opinion are or if they would rather read reviews done by people who have external influences (free herb, advertising money, PR etc) that will impair their non-biasness. I remember reading KR site almost over a year ago, and now I take the reviews with HUGE grains of salt because it's obvious there's a lot of ad revenue coming in which might impact the reviewers opinion. :hippy:
