I've punched street dealers who have tried to rip me off with better gear.lol That is a bad deal.
I braved past the hoe's over on Arora St today, just to prove a point here; trying to keep it real.
Cost me $8 for the extract, and $20 for an 1/8 of decent buds. THC content don't mean shit, generally speaking, IMO. I'll let the bud pic's do the speaking for itself. I occasionally keep tabs on what's happening, I want to see what's in the shops, I suppose. Some of my buddies inevitably compare me to them, from time to time.
Here we go. I also did this part to drive home a point. (lowest THC buds I could find) "Wyatt Herbs" "Orange Cookies" 13.39% THC, and Pineapple express extract butter 89.37% THC with lots of orange color B-
caryophyllene, very tasty, I am stoned, no doubt.
The buds harvest date was in July, and seemed fresh. Strong orange flavor. There certainly is good products over at the stores, (Here in Seattle at least) but it's certainly a mixed batch. When I taste, experience good products like these, and see the care that was put into growing them, it simply makes me all the more determined to up my game, that's all. There are certainly good stuff that comes from these places, of that I have very little doubt.
