I know I don't get a chance to enjoy it that often. Like you (going by the strains you posted), I usually enjoy Top Mids.
Think cognacs - I usually enjoy Remy Martin VSOP when I'm out, but have Remy XO at home which I enjoy sparingly several times a month. Couple times of year I splurge and get a snifter of Remy Martin Louie (about $50-90/shot, unless it's my b-day then my favorite bar hooks a brother up). But if I'm hosting a party, I'm buying & providing the lower end Remy VS. My girlfriend - thinks all cognacs are disgusting and would have to get paid to drink the stuff.
If that analogy doesn't make sense then think steakhouses. Some people love The Outback. Me - can't stand their steaks, but will go with friends and enjoy myself anyway. I like Elway's, but even then prefer Elway's downtown over Cherry Creek - why because the steaks downtown are of better quality. Would most people even be able to tell the difference? Doubt it and that's fine.
Or take Thai food - when I first moved here about a decade ago, Tommy Thai had been voted best Thai food for about 6 years running. So of course I had to check it out! Guess what - they suck, no self-respecting Thai person would ever churn out that crap. I'm not saying I have incredible tastebuds, but there are some things I just really know how to appreciate. Now Mexican food & drink is still a new cuisine for me and I'm still learning to appreciate the better Mex food. Right now I can't really tell the difference too much between the various restaurants & their tacos, same goes with tequila. Most tequila taste like crap to me. I've only had one I thought was decent (Asombroso).
As long as you are enjoying whatever you have - that's what's important. Who cares what other people think. If you feel you're going a good deal that's all the better!
:jointsmile:
But don't tell me I'm dead wrong, and then go on to just confirm what I stated when you explain yourself.

Buddah,
As owner of HCCC, I couldnâ??t agree with you more. Elwayâ??s downtown is way better and quality has taken a plunge everywhere including our shop. Sidenote: I really like US Thai in Edgewater for the fire Thai cuisine. I believe through all of 1284 we worked as hard as anybody to keep quality meds on our shelves for all our patients. It hasnâ??t been easy either, Iâ??ve lost friends, partners, associates, Iâ??ve yet to met a grower who wants to hear he fâ??d up. Iâ??ve seen PM, mite infestations, hermed crops, mosaic virus, pythium, mold like Iâ??ve never seen before. Itâ??s everyone from the best MMCâ??s to the home grows. I see everyone pointing the finger at someone else, but itâ??s widespread. The sad thing is itâ??s easy for me to turn away this bad medicine, but I know they just sell it down the street and it gets into patients hands. To me a patient is a patient, as a person is a person whether youâ??re in my store or anywhere else.
Itâ??s much easier to complain, then it is to change things. We hope to do the latter. At Herbal Connections Cherry Creek we are 100% committed to providing affordable medical grade cannabis that has been screened not only for cannabinoids, but molds, mildew, pesticides, insects and hard metals. I believe this should be standard for our industry. We also provide quality clones, seeds and literature, consulting for aspiring growers, so they can provide for themselves or others.
Before I became part of HCCC I was a patient. As a patient, I saw the need for a better dispensing model. So with my partners help, we created what I believe is on of the nicest environments to get your medicine. Now, Iâ??ve switched my focus to our medicine. Weâ??re popping tons of seeds, weâ??ve sourced some top genetics including Presidential Kush, Super Lemon Haze, Golden Goat(3phenos), Flo, Hog, Anastasia, OG Kush(Tahoe Cut), Trinity, MK Ultra, QrazyTrain, Critical Mass, LGS, Purple Kush, Chemdawg (2 phenos), Headband, Orange Velvet x Purple Urkle, Kushage, Kaboom, Sour Diesel( 2 Phenos), Grape Ape x Purps, Twista, Da Purps, Hawaiian Island Skunk, Blue Widow, Grunk, Sensi Star, Grapefruit, Tang, Chemdawg x Chemdawg Haze and about 40 more strains. We have a team of botanists, biologists, phytochemists and other experts working together to create products and standards that will elevate the industry and bring connoisseur quality back. While we have not quite achieved these goals, our shelves are almost as stocked as theyâ??ve ever been, not everything is connoisseur level, but a lot is, and most is better then everything else Iâ??ve seen, and Iâ??ve been to a lot of shops trying to trade to keep selection up. All we can do is continue to improve, with the focus on providing the best medicine to our patients, like metalbrad, who does not work for me, but I thank you for the compliments. Buddah-we'll bring the Louie back to this town I promise you, when it's up to my standards, first one is on me.

Quality was never really found at many dispensaries. Now the best shops have closed, and most of the good growers have gone back to the underground ways of networking.
There are still some good dispensaries, but there selection may not be as good as it was. And why the hell are these shops still charging $50 or more per eighth?
Dispensaries are only worried about quantity and thats why they are sacrificing quality right now. Most of them are trying to figure out how to grow their own which they should have been doing the whole time.
Most of the quality growers grow smaller amounts for themselves and a few friends.
I like CAM, Pure , and Organix. Herbal Element was my all time favorite ever.

Alot of growers went back underground, but alot of growers opened up legit or are now working with MMC's including the one's you mention. You come to a fork in the road and you choose a path, to each his own. I've seen crap and fire come from commercial grows and from nice home set-ups. It's all about the love you put into it...
