Intros ouHi all. 44 years toking, got my 1st script & am totally underwhelmed !

[Hazy-Haze]

Things I like so far for sleep.

Original Blitz - No idea if it's still available
GMO Cookies - Available from IPS, but shunned because of who owns the company (but I will buy more because weed is weed and it works well while still being fairly light)
Tripoli - Just good for relaxing down, while not being super couch lock level

I like haze variants for day strains, but things like the GMO Cookies and Tripoli are low enough in THC to be used either as day or night strains, depending on what your preference is.

Hi all. 44 years toking, got my 1st script & am totally underwhelmed !
All I can taste (of the little flavour) is chems !! 1 out of 4 bags is anywhere near "good" after days in a jar !
My question are;
Why the lack of expiry dates on packs ?
Most important for me, soil grown - no chem's grows ? How many are there ?
Finally what is the complaint procedure with slack product , quality control ? I foresee an interesting chat with trading standards ?!
Appreciate the site & all the work gone into sorting it

Hi. I'm new here too but I've been on prescription since September last year. I had the same problem with my first batchs, I was recommended them and I ended up sending 1 back. It can be hit and miss but once you know what growers are good amd what ones to ignor, you can find some pretty good stuff. Always review what you're buying before you buy

 

[S.O.H™]

Im not going to gloss over the fact if you have a decent BM supplier for a good price then medical isnt going to beat it, it never will for the reasons that you say.
There shouldnt be a variation in quality like you describe and some of the strains you mention I have had from Medicann, and they have been ok for me, so im angry for you that what you got was poor.
You can taste yourself.
The most recent and most expensive flower I bought on medical gave me a chesty cough its still the wild west out there.
On the other hand if you have naff suppliers, no willingness to meet people who potentially rip you off on street corners, or a plethora of moral or legal reasons why you want Medical cannabis then is still a good proposition.
Im glad you didnt pay for joining a clinic so you can decide what is the best value and quality option for you to be medicated

Spokesman Fiddles hits agin straight off the cuff!

My problem with BM is I've come across BM with synthetics in it, where a dealer has coated it with one of the JWH compounds, most likely 018 aka Spice. Since I use very little it was less of a train wreck and I didn't end up on a slab. i know a couple of people here and abroad that have had worse consequences. That one thing is probably the main reason I wouldn't buy BM nowadays. It is like the fent and nitazene scourge in BM opiates, but I don't think it is as bad in the UK as that situation, but from time to time I still hear of people buying stuff that has been cut with the synthetic compounds. Of course if you have a hookup that is trusted and you know is almost coming straight from grower, then you will likely always be fine, but not all are.

But stay safe and if yous tart getting weird out of the ordinary side effects on BM, then don't be afraid to hit up the local hospital. It's better than ending up in a coffin.

What in the actual fk. Who the hell came up with such a concept. There are loads of lubricants available without doing such a thing. i mean vomit is essentially a strong acid, so you are going to burn your dick doing such dumbass things.

And they wonder why the world is going to shit.

and that's enough internet for a day for me.

How have we survived this long??

Golden Gauth. DoE Britz. Lamb of god & crumbled lime. Lamb of god is the only one to perk up after a week in jar still only 60% tho!! Britz tasted of washing up liquid GG was all chemical , Lime was tiny dry nugs with a hint of mould. whilst my street weed is getting cheaper, better & more varied than ever ?

I just can't fathom how they balls it up so bad ?! When all the street weed I see is banging ? re organics, I always prefer soil grown no chems etc for the taste & terpenes but as ever quantifying it is another matter.

I did my research, GG was a friends pick of the month, his was larger sticky buds ...mine wasnae

My Golden Gauth is lovely. Maybe you are mistaking the astringent Orange peel type terpenes as chemically driven.
For £7.50 per g this is very good value I don't know the quality of the bud normally vaped by you but if Golden Gauth is poor quality then I want what you're vaping.

I do like GMO Cookies, but what the score with the owner ?

Israeli company. It gets everyone's panties in a bunch because of bias against Israel and Jews.

At the end of the day if you look into any of these companies growing and selling MC and who finances them no one has clean hands in this industry. So I will continue to buy what I like.

Why the lack of expiry dates on packs ?
Most important for me, soil grown - no chem's grows ? How many are there ?
Finally what is the complaint procedure with slack product , quality control ? I foresee an interesting chat with trading standards ?!
Appreciate the site & all the work gone into sorting it

1. Expiry dates - Some individual packs have them, your pharmacy should have all of them. Email them.
2. Good luck. Everything is hydro nowadays. If you do find organic MC it's going to be that £100/gram stuff, not £40 for 10g, so you will be buying at the upper end of the market. If you are going down that route you might want to look at non-irradiated strains as well, although i'll be honest I can't tell the difference most of the time. They all smell like weed, taste like weed. But i'm not a connoisseur by any level, just a general user.
3. Complaints. Take it to the pharmacy first, MHRA second. It's not a trading standards thing since it's a medication and they are going to tell you very quickly that they won't intervene. Also no ringing any tv shows up. Don't bugger everything up for everyone else as we are already hated by most of the country. If you get crap weed, complain to the pharmacy, MHRA and if nothing works don't buy it again.

The new one for forced sleep that I like is the T27 Durban Gorilla. For me, after using it at night for a bit, you can push through the fatigue it brings, but only for a couple of hours, eventually it's lights out, whether you choose to or don't. Enforced condition. What does it vape like, no idea. Works well in edibles and tasted really nice if decarbed in Coconut Oil, if you like that terpy weed taste, which i do. Best thing is the price. Just be aware with overuse comes grogginess the next morning. it's not as light as Tripoli, it's more akin to Original Blitz in power.

A video by our Tim will focus on the reasons why flos from Canada etc takes sooo long to get here, hence causing oxidation and degradation. If you aren't aware of the importation and legislatory process details you will find it helpful.

Sit Rep; 1 month on- 1st impressions were mostly gash, 3 of 4 very dry small & little to no stink..
after a week+ in bovjars;
Lamb of a god. which was initial fav,came on nicely & vaped well = sage herbal.
Golden gauth, driest & smallest nugs, longest to come good, vaped well with strong coppery orange smell.
Britz was a taste I didn't like *re sprayed weed, chem'fruity ... my oppo liked it best tho ?! (he is Belgian !?! )
Crumbled lime reminded me of 1996 Dutch 1K vac packed ? Light dry green floury compo'. Only B irradiated on my script, vaped very well , subtle & became my bedtime goto.

Just Re upped.
Lesson learnt - go wi what ye know ! High Silver . Maui wowie. Pineapple express.
1st imp', larger, all look & smell better , the B radiated' Silver gave HAZE on opening ?! MW already fruity+. PE (smalls) so needs a day or so, but vapes well . All way better & cheaper than initial script.
I'll follow up after a week or so in bovjars .. hopefully it'll be totally tropical !?

*Thanks for all the replies & admin

Do-si-do strains have a rich and sweet tropical aroma/flavour
