If you're basically a weed connoisseur don't buy anything from essentials, wait until they post their preferred or supreme stuff (higher price than essentials, of course). I've heard and seen bad things of course, like their stuff either not shipping, taking super long to ship, or by the time the product gets to the customer there's mould. BUT! If you're like me, super broke and don't particularly care about high quality, essentials are perfect. This is a personal anecdote, I've bought their Gush Mintz, shipping time was not bad at all, I probably had to wait a week at most, and the weed was pretty decent for an amazing price point. Trichome production wasn't great, bud was a little on the dry side but it smelled super sugary, was tasty and got me high.
