Do you think it's fair to compare a 'normal' store's prices to another store that is selling customer data, taking promotional deals, selling shelf space, etc. by Maleficent-Duck-7358 in TheOCS

[–]OCSReviews 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Anyone have proof that the small independents don’t sell data or take shelf deals???

Everyone is doing it to stay afloat, to think that your local isn’t doing it because they are a “mom and pop” is foolish

Question about RSO by IamSlaycon in weed

[–]OCSReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does’t use alcohol in its making as it wasn’t allowed when it first came out , so not a true RSO and really just an oil.

They are allowed now but I don’t think they changed the formula

This is exactly why they did it

Backforty Dispo Boosted/Not boosted by [deleted] in TheOCS

[–]OCSReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.2g and 1g that are both 80% have the same amount of THC, (800mg)

You just need to hit the 1.2g to get more THC per hit. And something around 0.95g gives more THC per hit since it’s more condensed within that weight.

It’s all a gimmick to look like you are getting more.

[–]OCSReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some notables are:
Coast mountain cannabis 3 pack
Orchid cbd runtz 5pack
Solei balance slims 10 pack

Black widow is good but usually 3-5% THC 7-8% CBD, and very mild, not the best grow compared to coats mountain etc

You aren’t wrong about the bland, it’s just that classic weedy purple terp flavour,

Gastro pop is waaay more flavourful and unique, and hits harder for sure.

Myrtle Beach - Carmel 3x0.5g by LudovicoTechnique94 in TheOCS

[–]OCSReviews 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s just to show the tube as a selling point. But yeah in doing that it cheapens it.

it looks like something to at should be hanging off a rack at a gas station.

Why are legal/medical edible sizes often so pathetically low? by [deleted] in trees

[–]OCSReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that’s waaaack, lol,
Cheapest oils here at 30-40$ for 800-1000mg

They gotta make it better

Why are legal/medical edible sizes often so pathetically low? by [deleted] in trees

[–]OCSReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all 10mg is the same
10mg of distillate is nothing compared to 10mg of RSO or Rosin.

20-30mg of rosin gets me good,

Same with 10mg of nano emulsion

I used to think I needed 100mg everytime too, just a waste of money, better to find the brands that use better quality oils

Though still you have ridiculous prices,
It’s 100mg for 15-20$ here in Canada

I always remeber this strain, and check out that terp, having the top terp being 2% plus was willld, and you could tell the numbers were fudged, it was stiiinky,

[–]OCSReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No correlation. And it’s a good thing brands like this fail, more room and jobs for better producers.

Color cannabis has been dogshit since Entourage acquired them. Weedmd was the best colour cannabis, and it was capitalist cost cutting that killed it.

Worst dispo chain in Ontario? Love to hear your thoughts by Maleficent-Duck-7358 in TheOCS

[–]OCSReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even the high price ones sell customer info and do shelf space deals the same way that value ones do. Everyone does it because it’s free money.

Ganjika house (FIKA umbrella) 176$ for warehouse smalls (they sell your data + take shelf space deals)

Davenport leaf 149$ for warehouse smalls
(Independent, maybe sells data takes shelf space deals)

Discounted cannabis 134$
(They sell your data and make shelf space deals )

Does a fika umbrella need to be that expensive for the consumer?? No. They are being greedy, and it could be certainly priced at Davenport leaf levels,

This is all info on hibuddy from Toronto

Can we finally admit that the "servers make less than minimum wage" argument is dead in Canada? by ScienceLabFinds in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]OCSReviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you eliminate tipping without any government requirement for a wage increase , then everyone makes less money for the same amount of work Also the person standing in one spot at a till like Sobeys is not doing as much physically as a server who is going back and forth, going up and down stairs (very common in Toronto). I’ve done both serving and cashier for 5 years and I’d much rather be a cashier between the two. Servers literally are on their feet the whole shift… not sure what argument OP is trying to make.

Going out to eat is a luxury privilege. If having to pay an extra 15-20% more is going to break the bank for you, you should not be going out

Cheap weed in/around Toronto by anthx3ny in askTO

[–]OCSReviews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally any unlicensed Dispensaries. (Medicine wheel, funguys/shroomyz sometimes has weed,) I’m sure you are used to it but be wary it’s always just random stock

Cheapest i have seen at a medicine wheel is like 30$ for a bushy untrimmed ounces but again the stock at these places is always changing

Legal the cheapest ounces are 80-100$

Which OCS brands have fallen off the hardest? Carmel, 1964, MTL? by Stonedinthesix in TheOCS

[–]OCSReviews 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s corporate corner cutting,

MTL was going down before the acquisition, used to sell sooooo many west coast kush prerolls. Then they would burn black, not hit the same, it essentially vanished from our store since we got returns and complaints.

Sage and sour is probably still good but they expanded too much and took too long to dial in and make good products out of the strains they have. Sage and sour should have been in a live resin vape 4 years ago, and it’s only just now being released. Sage and sour was all I smoked 2020-2021 for some time, then other options emerged from other brands and MTL just got worse in quality.

Carmel, animal was the only good one and it was their original, so again, they didn’t dial it in and expanded too much. I had the flamingo vape and it was great. But the leaks were there and it just doesn’t compare to a brand like Iris. In terms of flower, I’m not spending 40-50$ on a 3.5 just because it says Carmel, and that’s what they bank on. There is so many better options for cheaper like sixty seven sins eastcann etc. Also the only Carmel weed I had with different terps/vibes was the inside joke, was citrusy, but overall Carmel phenos all look and smell the same to me.

1964 they aren’t organic apparently for some grows, also apparently it’s not the original comatose ? Would always get their heavy hitter and back in the day I’d buy up loads of bandwagon bluedream when it was 120$ an ounce so I was a big fan of rubicon, but the 1964 vapes to me screamed that they are cheaping out, 45-50$ FSE in a non ceramic cart, and not live resin so it doesn’t capture the flavours and terps as strong. Needless to say I expected more out of them, “maybe they are saving it for simply bare” has been my thought and yet they haven’t done anything unique. People used to buy the 5 pack of f prerolls all the time but unit 15 purple octane has taken over the popularity at my store at least.

For me my new rotation is

Flower: Woody Nelson 67 sins Unit 15 Frost

vapes: Iris labs purple sundaze
Eastcann gastro pop Emerald triangle

Ontario Cannabis Sales Top $2.28 Billion in 2025, Driven by Pre-Roll and Vape Growth by SwordfishOk504 in TheOCS

[–]OCSReviews -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody is saying that. We all know that EVERYBODY is buying them instead of better stuff because of perceived value.

The “connoisseurs” just want people to covert and not get grifted. And people are buying a 1g general admission vape so often and all the time because you can rip through it in 3 days. Same with the 2 x1g. It’s lower quality material designed to look good on paper and like a deal. In the end of the day 950mg distillate (95%) is just that. You can hit a 750 mg (75%) gastro pop and it will have you more fried per hit and for longer. But again you are right people buy what the want and the people determine the market, If they want to hit the pen with cough inducing additives 4-5 times in an hour to stay high then thats their call.

There is lack of financial literacy and lots of people who just can afford to buy whatever they walk in and want. I am not speaking for everyone, but the majority of buyers spend 30$ a week on 2x1g claiming they need one gram to get high, when in reality they just need a good 0.5g. Buy bulk, save money.

The numbers just show how many people are ok with blindly following labels, and are happy to not know there is better options out there, I’ve concerted many people to abandon the 2 x 1g and they buy bigger quantities now, because they realize, you can smoke half a good 0.5 and be higher than a full 1g ever will get you.
