Wow, that's extensive. I'm very much the opposite, and wait until I'm almost out then see what deals are available that week. I like to try all the different strains and dispensaries, so I don't want to load up too much at once. My plan is to purchase leading up to 420 when a dispensary I like has a sale at or above 20% off, while also having a product I particularly like, or am almost out of.
I haven't noticed anything like that and smell is a key factor for me. I LOVE the smell of cannabis so I get right up in there and savor it.
I had not smelled weed like that prior to the other day, at least not that I can recall anyway. In fact the smell was off enough that when my wife got home the other day she commented that something smelled strong but she didn't know what it was. Granted my wife doesn't use pot but she has been living with me for over a decade so it concerned me even more when she couldn't even tell that it was the smell of weed. I took couple of the most suspect and high priced samples I found back and was able to get a credit for them. I still have 1 highly suspect 1/8th I discovered that wasn't 50+ per 1/8th that I've decided I'm not going to take back but rather run some tests on to see if I can figure out what is going on. I feel really disappointed that I'm even having to do this but after looking into things it would seem that flower isn't tested for ammonia content prior to sale in the FL MMJ program. I'll keep everyone posted as I find out more information about whats going on. Hopefully, in the end it will just turn out to be me being paranoid because up until this point I've enjoyed being part of the MMJ program and would hate to find out there's any major issues that would cause me to question the value of the program.
I personally have never had any weed that smelled even close to ammonia; whether it was street weed back in the day or dispensary stuff. I would definitely take it back to where I got it. Maybe even post pictures here. Sometimes moldy weed smells chemically...but yea. Back in the day we would smoke it anyways. Luckily we are legit now and can take it back to the store.
They have live rosin carts over at Curaleaf? I normally skip carts but I've been wanting to see what the deal is with live rosin carts. I think I still would rather buy good flower and squish it myself though. I'm not too convinced about the "Live" Rosins, yet but I've got to experiment more.
These aren't "pure" live resin. Its basically high end distillate blended with live resin. There are some interesting reviews.....
I’ve never tried the top tier at Trulieve, not even the $53 really. I need to. But for what I have tried, I’d rank as follows:
I tried some MAC 1 from One Plant on a recommendation. I didn't expect much even though it was their top tier because the THC% was only in the mid teens. The taste was amazing, effects were good, it produced vapor like crazy and the number of hits you could get off it was almost magical. Taught me that THC% isn't everything but I still make my purchases based on THC% unless someone on FC makes a recommendation for something with a lower THC%.
I'd make really sure it doesn't have mold on it. Sometimes mold is hard to see but if you have some with mold on it don't try and rescue it and then consume it because it could make you sick. If you are sure it's not mold and are considering a humidity issue (which I think you are on the right track) ...better than "burping" ... may I recommend getting yourself some Boveda packs if you haven't already. They are 2-way, so if your bud is too humid it will dry it out as well as increase the humidity if too low. I have been able to "revive" stuff that I thought un-vapable by leaving it undisturbed a week or two in a sealed container with a Boveda. It's like magic, man. Try it. I swear by it. Some bud is better dryer and others I find I enjoy more when it's moist and sticky so I don't always do this with all the herb I buy...but if I run accross something that I don't like and can't/don't want to return it for whatever reason..the Boveda trick surprises me time and time again.
