It's all bunk on both sides because it's all produced out of greed. Even the guys who claim to be doing it for the bud end up really just trying to build a name off it. The true passion is hard to find.

wife hasn't been able to smoke the local 'import' from bc for a few years now.. great selection of 'quads' but.. she cant smoke it without the lungs complaining. gotta find a boutique grower that cares... easier said than done.

the LP stuff.. the only ive seen that is smokeable was the broken coast northern lights haze? something like that. and next time it was purchased it was garbage. so.. i dunno.

wish you luck on your quest. grow yourself is the answer, and there are boutique growers out there.. just gotta find em

Bingo! That 5 letter word. Money and horns will make a man do what he otherwise wouldn't!

Plenty of nice small scale homegrown out there... you wont find the bud on a MOM website tho lol...

Hell I even had a nice sample of weed with just 0.234thc and 19.8 cbd dropped off last week ….at least by the looks ...haven't smoked it yet as I wanna send a bit off for independent test first too see if the #'s are legit.

didn't even smell like HAY lol....first cbd dom bud with NIL for thc that louped nice ….. soo we shall see if the results are what I was told...lol...

If so id bring it in my stable.

Have definitely gotten more overdried relatively flavourless greenhouse grown bud then otherwise from the few times I have tried anything. I did like chocolate fondue by DNA. The strain is very nice and wasn't bad for greenhouse grown. Also the Jack's Haze by 7acres was very tasty strong social weed, but all of these are very expensive vs what you can get from other means locally, and are unaffordable for most regular smokers. Personal production is the best way when realistic and is so rewarding.
So I found out there is a new form of irradiation being used that is not gamma irradiation, it is known as E-beam/electron beam irradiation. It's supposed to be effective without destroying volatiles, but I tried some irradiated in this method by Pure Sunfarms in BC and found it to be very flavourless. That was my experience though and it could have been due to many different reasons.

I have absolutely found this in Canada and as a quality focused consumer/cultivator it is quite frustrating to see little true clean high grade available. I see so many unflushed flowers that give me bad headaches from accross Canada its crazy. Im on Prince Edward Island and our market is just terrible for obtaining consistent high grade..If i purchase on the street so to speak i just hope its potent and properly flushed lol. I havent went to a legal outlet yet as what i can source direct from a cultivator is a much higher grade and much cheaper than what i have been shown from friends and family. Growing it ourselves is very necessary to obtain the unique cultivars and high grade quality we desire in my opinion

I can actually tell you why. essentially freemasons, illuminati, mafia ppl took over the industry after 2010. and have been using what they call "wash" or "all the same style growth methods." which includes pesticides, over nutrieated buds and theres always the old govt chemical tampering techniques. similar to what they do with cigarettes. Its a huge problem with bud in Canada now. Such a disapointment. Essentially the whole "you have to grow it like a vegetable" idea hasnt really caught on yet.
