Quality of medicine?!?!

Shadowyazn "I know I'm a dick ;-) lol." I agree LOL not really but here a is a number to contact Jen (505) 510-1717. This group could sure use Help with a web designer I think that they have a web page but need help in setting it up. I'd say give her a call and get some more info on the group. I think you sound like you would fit right in . Blueberry sounds good.

Allright...so I understand some people may take this as a rant...but here goes. Some of you may remember a while back I posted some reviews about the medicine from CG Corrigan...great medicine, well stored, covered in trichomes. However, there was an issue regarding seeds in their Afghan. In a half ounce, I found roughly 25 seeds. When I brought up the issue to CG Corrigan, they were very considerate and offered an exchange or some free medicine on my next purchase. I chose to receive some free medicine for a future purchase, since as I've mentioned before I do not like to return things. I picked up earlier this morning from them again as per my subscription requirements for this month. I returned the seeds to them also this morning and as mentioned, they provided me with 4.5 grams of delicious Pineapple Kush. However, when I got home I started inspecting my current ounce. The half ounce of Northern Lights is amazing! Huge buds with beautiful red hairs and trichome development. Very solid and dense, breaks up nice with a pungent aroma. The half ounce of Sour Diesel is also very nice. Smaller size nugs, slightly fluffy but with relatively nice trichome development. HOWEVER..I've found 59 seeds!!! I've contacted CG and they've agreed to give me a quarter next time when I pick up again, which I believe is awesome on their part. Their customer service over there is top par. The reason I'm writing this is just to inform people out there...be CAREFUL when selecting medicine from CG. In my experience, they have issues with controlling pollination for some reason. They informed me that a hermi branch pollinated a nearby cart which lead to the seeds, so keep that in mind fellow patients.

Has anybody else had an issue with seeds from ANY of the producers? I'd be interested to hear stories if anybody's willing to share. As of yet, out of the other 8 or 9 producers I've tried, I've only found 1 seed so far.

Well since you asked.....

I was warned about NaturalRX before I went there, that they had some seedy stuff... Well I have had a couple batches with seeds from them. In a gram of Chem 4D there were 20+ seeds. When I told them about it they gave me a new gram, no seeds.
I have also gotten Lavender Kush from them with seeds.

I have been to a few of the dispencaries in Albq.

Greenleaf= 1 seed from over 2 oz's and I was pissed cause I torched it
Cannucetics= not too much purchased, last stuff loose and scraggly, harsh burn. Getting some SSH from them today @ $10/g and will see how that is.
High Desert Relief= Good guys , struggling, they have had stuff from Red Barn, not impressed with Red Barns products. The Northern Lights I got from HDR was pretty good.
Minerva Canna Group= only got 2 dif varieties to try out. Tastey. Buds were very dry. I am also picking up a couple grams of tangerine Dream from them today to try.
SWOP= have not tried as I wanted to sample their products and buy a gram or 2 of each and they don't sell small amounts. Oh Well...
Not tried CG Corrigan.
Others have not replied or returned my calls. That is fine because my money spends well with the other dispencaries, and the appreciate it!

My take is if you can look at it before buying, That is a good thing. All of the dispencaries are trying. They have some good and some bad. All will work with you if you have a problem with their products. Some ARE better then others. All in All ... I love trying all the strains and finding the best meds for me. If I like it I get more...

Well I went to Minerva last nite for Growing 101. Very informative lecture. Eric is a very smart man and knows what he is talking about.

I also must say I am not impressed with the orange Kush I picked up. ( My bad no Tangerine Dream)

I got 1 gram of Orange Kush to try. Still pretty wet/fresh. Went to load one and pinched a seed. Thought I better check it out... 1 gram = 18 seeds UNBELIEVEABLE!!! Thought High Grade was Sinsemillia or seed free. Eric said quote" You may find a seed or two, but as a grower thats not a bad thing". No that would not be bad (1 or 2) but 18 + seeds in 1 gram is not good... especially at those prices... $14/g=$394/oz

I will stick with Greenleaf at 12.50/g... nicely cured and tastey and for the most part seed free....

Very cool insurance! I'm glad to hear people are participating in these classes and seminars that are offered by some producers. I know that tomorrow is Sandia Botanical's Patient Talking Circle so I think I might stop by and see how that goes. Thanks for the update on the orange kush as well, good to know especially since alot of people will be wanting to try it since it's a new strain for minerva. You are correct that sinsemillia DOES have a higher potency then it's seeded counterpart due to the plant being able to focus more on resin and trichome production then seed production. When you find 1 or 2 seeds, it shouldnt affect the potency that much, since the # of seeds is so miniscule to the amount of medicine, etc. However, i feel that there is a limit...18+ seeds is ridiculous in a gram. That IS the gram. The plant literally is focused on reproduction, not on trichome and resin production at that point. The fact that these seeded products are even making their way to the patients in such quantities is indicative of how much attention these producers are paying. How do you not notice when a nugget contains that many seeds when you're weighing it out and packaging it up? Even in all my pre-patient years I very very rarely came across seeds...and never of this magnitude.

As far as Greenleaf goes, I do like their product. IMO not the best, but still up there. The 12.50/g is nice but dont forget about tax! Also...this is something I had an issue with. When I went by last week, one of their employees handed me a bag of one of their strains to check out, since they didn't have any in the jars up front. Apparently, even though these are just regular little baggies, your not allowed to open them or take out the contents. Why would you show me a sample then tell me i can't open the bag to check density, smell, and moisture content? A gentleman, AFTER I had opened it, said something along the lines of "Oh, you opened it you have to buy it now." WTF is this standard operating procedure?

[InsuranceGuy]

I have never heard of this!!! I have opened and smelled every time i have been there. They are really cool people over there. As a matter of fact I will be going there in about an hour, I will mention it to Willie. Don't know how to "fix" that last issue for you but I will inform willie about it if Alfonso has not already.(was he joking or did you have to buy it?)

I agree that, that many seeds is bad. If it had only been 1 or 2 I would not have cared.... but 18+ (I say + cause i have not broken the whole gram up yet....) In my prepatient days I can't remember getting a seed in the last 10 yrs....

[shadowyazn]

Right? And actually, I have had very nice experiences with everyone there as well! I've met Tasha and Lex, both were very helpful and nice. It was the other gentleman who brought that up. Also, I did buy it but not because of that stupid possibly non-existent policy, I bought it because I liked what I had seen. At first, I did think he was just joking because I had never heard of such a policy ANYWHERE so he had to have been right? I didn't really think much of it, but the next time I stopped by the same guy told me something along the lines of 'remember if you open it you agree to purchase'. Also, when I went in I had set an order for 2 grams...when I went in I asked if I could instead pick up a full eighth and the guy looked at me like I was dumb. His response was something along the lines of 'then i'll just be sitting on that 2 grams'. I was so confused by that response that I just said I'd take my 2 and place an order for pickup the next day. It's not that big of an issue for me to drive around and come back to places, but it seems that this gentleman is just trying to make things difficult.

Edit:
Forgot to mention that the gentleman didn't smile or laugh or anything when he said those things...thats why I don't know if he was kidding or not...

Extra Edit:
Also, if you read this before you go in insurance, tell willy or whoever props on the shiskaberry! Big fan!

OMG Verde's Founddation's Bubba Kush is the shiiiit. I just vaped myself into oblivion for the last couple hours and it was awweeesome.
