September 2023 Purchases

This month I consolidated all my purchases into a single day, spending around $200 on six products across two different stores in Crowfoot, Calgary. These stores were Canna Cabana and Bud Bar, both of which had knowledgeable and friendly budtenders. Canna Cabana I visited Canna Cabana at around 11 o'clock

Simply Bare Scotti Biscotti

Although there were occasional minor issues, it remains uncertain whether these are linked to the cultivation process or the particular cultivar. Nonetheless, the overall experience is highly enjoyable, showcasing outstanding flower quality.

Beverage

Deep Space Propulsion Cosmic Cherry Lime

Today, we are reviewing Deep Space Propulsion Cosmic Cherry Lime, which is a cannabis-infused beverage containing 10 mg of THC, 10 mg of CBG, and caffeine. As per the label, we find this is noted as edible cannabis, non-alcoholic beverage. It uses natural flavors and colors. Supposedly, it is the

Daily Special Sour Grape Lil Bits

Daily Special Sour Grape Lil Bits taste like eating a package of Grape Kool Aid, mixed with a touch of sugar.

Tribal Cuban Linx

I go out on a limb and say this incredibly successful offering, that I'm reviewing years after release, is great!

-ness East Coast Brunch

The flavour profile has a bit of a twist away from your typical cream and gas with earth tastes, but it’s not so much of a departure where it’s something new. That could be good or bad depending on, what you’re looking for.

Silky Continental Crossbow

Intriguing lineage with good looks and a favourable price, Silky Continental's Crossbow makes a good entrance but doesn't show up with much substance.

Supernova Space Funk

I could tell this was a quality product at one time, unfortunately it was more than double the age of most products we buy, and it showed. Supernova has some cool genetics and I'd love to see another product from them, in fresher condition.

Vape Cartridge

Tweed Houndstooth

Purchased at Four20, this vape cart from Tweed was packaged in 2020 and purchased 3 years later for less than 30% of the average price for this product. The cartridge functions but the distillate inside has an unappetizing layer of oxidation and usage produces fairly uncomfortable effects.

San Rafael '71 Farm Gas

Taking another look at San Rafael '71 Farm Gas for the second time within a year. The previous review involved a fresher version, whereas the one I have now seems a bit older, which shows in its olfactory characteristics, they have slightly less dazzle. Interestingly, the price difference between the

Bold The Vision

Grabbed this 3.5g package of Archive's The Vision grown by Bold from Four20. The product is old. About 8 times older than most whole flower product we buy for these reviews. Product quality is dismal, as you'd expect it to be. The interesting part, I'd tell you, is the

Valour From MedReleaf

The buds were a collection of well developed smalls with good feel and non-offensive aromatic composition. It ends up being not bad, but Aurora offers higher quality elsewhere for less.

Sitka Legends Pineapple Kali Mist

Dispite the mis-name at the vendor this was a surprisingly enjoyable hybrid with a sativa name. Very good quality, glad I saw it but wouldn't pay the price again to see it twice.

Bubba Kush From Whistler Medical Marijuana Corporation

This is definitely high quality cannabis and despite the quick fading of taste I am pretty positive about it, especially with the discount I got. Not sure it’s worth the full asking price but if you find some in your possession you’re in for a treat.

Pure SunFarms Lemon Octane

While quality is decent it’s not taking you places you haven’t seen before. Has a nice flavour profile that features lemon and skunky fuel but the sweet sides of the composition take the limelight.

Greybeard Trufflez

Trufflez provided deep flavour, without any negative tastes. An attractive flavour profile and handiness made this a useful product.

Mango Mac From Victoria Cannabis Company

This cannabis is quite good on all fronts; looks and feel are solid, combustion is clean and flavour is dynamic, especially in the Volcano. The scent is strong both before and after grinding and the taste is quite pleasant no matter the method of ingesting.

Pure SunFarms

Pure SunFarms Bubble Mints

Bought this quarter package of Pure SunFarms Bubble Mints from a Four20 one night. It was not the bud tender's list of recomendations, but I still grabbed it, having been on my mind for a while. The contents of the package were old and don't make a good impression visually

Victoria Cannabis Company

Pomelo Skunk From Victoria Cannabis Company

This is loud. Scent and taste intensity is what I would expect from a highly skilled small scale home grower, not from a commercial producer. I was in the mood to combust as well as sample through the volcano and both experiences displayed features that point to a very high quality product.

Whole Flower

San Rafael '71 Electric Honeydew

For the price this was a strong show. The hot honey and sour fruit flavour profile goes against the mainstream. Looks were nothing to complain about. It's worth having a look at.

Carmel Hippie Headbanger

This is objectively fantastic quality cannabis.  It is also on the high end of the normal range of prices.  If you’re feeling like splurging a little and this review sounded appealing I will say I loved it

I am trying to find a good Pink Kush yet again. Yeah, I’m sure every reader has been waiting with baited breath for this nonsense again, but it’s the journey I decided to take all of you on so let’s get to it.
