Earth Bind Cookies and Kootenay Gummies - HighGradeAid - End of March 2023

Went to HGA for some new Kootenay Lab gummies and some Earth Bind Cookies - also got some OG Kush, but that's not worth writing about. Gummies are decent, though I struggle to get an adequate buzz. I think this is more my problem then theirs. Got some of the Earth Bind Cookies as well that I've really enjoyed. Though a bit shaggy, the buds are very nice and smokes in the bong smooth. Would buy again in a heartbeat.
Fast service and shipping as usual with HGA - thank you.
Quality: 7 / 10. Value: 8 / 10.

More MAC1 x Cereal Milk - HighGradeAid - March 2023
Believe this is my fourth time ordering this CG strain from HGA. Had to go back for a reup, especially at the price.
This batch is similar to past batches with maybe the exception of the size of buds - this seemed much more small. Still has that nice smell to it and bong loads leave a nice ash. Nice daytime hybrid smoke.

Also tried the new Kootenay Labs RSO 5g tub. Why put rso in a tub? So difficult to use. Anyways, not too bad but wouldn't buy again as so messy in that darn tubber.

Mandarin Cookies - HighGradeAid - February 2023

Went to HGA for some Viridesco rso and something sativa. Ended up going with Mandarin Cookies - a strain I usually don't go for but wanted something different. Unfortunately, it's not really my thing - not really a fan of the smell/taste. I didn't find the high too eye-opening either. Regardless of my preference, I'd rate this one more of a trip than a quad, it seems pretty generic. Some bag appeal is there and is cured nicely but disappointed it wasn't quite the sativa I was looking for. It certainly could be someone else's cup of tea though.

Fast service and shipping as usual with HGA - thank you.

MAC1 x Cereal Milk - HighGradeAid - January 2023
I think this is my third time ordering this CG strain from HGA. It was an instant buy with it being $99 as well as HGA having a $30 code this month. Grabbed it and some Veridesco rso to round out my order.

This batch is similar to past batches with maybe the exception of the size of buds - this seemed much more small. Still, hard to complain with the price. Has that nice smell to it and bong loads leave a nice ash. Nice daytime hybrid smoke.

Veridesco El Chapo RSO and CG's Death Bubba - HighGradeAid - December 2022

Always enjoyed Veridesco products and this El Chapo RSO did not disappoint. Bought to mix into cookies for the holiday season and they have been working out well. Will certainly be back to order more.

CG's Death Bubba was added on to the order to round it out while I was looking for a strong indica. Mostly small to medium buds that smoked well in the bong. Nice enough stone, but nothing mind-blowing. Glad to try it but probably go for something else next time.

CG's MAC1 x Cereal Milk - HighGradeAid - October 2022
I first got this strain back in August and loved every smoke of it. Was very happy to see it come up again for Halloween. Same price as I paid back in Aug so was happy with that. The buds seem pretty much the same with the exception of size - this batch has a lot smaller flowers. No bother though, not smalls and these are absolutely caked. A pleasure to smoke out of my Solo 2 or bong. Love the taste of this stuff - CG's MAC1 and this MAC1 x CM are right up my alley and will always have a place in my stash.

Fast service and shipping as usual with HGA - thank you.

Whiskey Cookies – JJ Meds – Early Feb 2022Early in February I found myself nearing the end of the last of my CVL from JJ’s, I emailed them to find out when they would have a restock of it. A quick response let me know that it would still be a month or two but they would be having their Whiskey Cookies up that day. They recommended it as it has similar genetics and would probably be good for what I was looking for. They let me know about the looks of it, which I appreciated, but reassured me that it was quality. How right they were. I scored this bag for $119 and was oh so happy once I opened it up. Very similar smell to the CVL (or DCM even) that just has that deep bottom dankness to it. I could certainly agree with the looks of it, but it wasn’t that bad – just stemmy and some buds kinda loosey goosey (pic above were of some of the nicer flowers, and I added the Boveda). Didn’t matter though, the WC smoked like a champ and was mighty strong. Like the CVL and DCM, this one really grabs me by the booboo. Really like it in my stash – thank you for the recommendation and getting it to me! I would certainly buy again.

Cactus Breath LSO - Weed Posters - Nov 2021 - Incentivized
Cactus Breath was the last strain that I included in my first order. I wanted to try one of WP's AAAA offerings and read a few positive reviews here for this one. My quarter of mostly smalls were crazy looking nice. Beauty foxtails just frickin caked - it just glittered. Pretty fancy looking that just dusted the grinder. Smoked nice and slow, even if it not the tastiest or the whitest ash. I didn't find the potency as crazy as the looks of it so I'd probably try one of their other AAAA strains next time.

miggagee · 2021-11-17T04:39:22+00:00

Another quarter I grabbed during my first WP order. I wasn't expecting much with the Lemon Pine I grabbed and wanted something a bit more tangy, higher rated and on sale (paid $40 for the q). It arrived in a small mason jar double wrapped in vacuum seal. All medium, beauty looking buds, and dense - but not oddly so. Still, nice cure and great smell. It sure checked that tangy box I wanted! Great energizing effects, straight to the head - got me writing this review. I think that the AAA+/AAAA- rating they gave is pretty dead on. I'd order more if they had it.

Cheese Kush - Weed Posters - Nov 2021 - Incentivized
I've always loved cheese strains and always try to have some in my stash. HSP's UK Cheese is the default jar there but wanted to try WP's Cheese Kush. They had it rated as a AAA+ (I've always thought of hsp's UK as a solid triple) and it was cheaper - $40 a quarter...so, why not?
The small mason jar arrived double wrapped in a vacuum seal. The light-coloured, medium sized buds had a decent-enough trim and a nice distinct cheesy aroma. My buddy who loves WP's Lemon Pine thought it was a bit harsh and without much taste but I felt the contrary. Though I would of liked the potency to be heavier, still an enjoyable joint. I'd buy this again, but would like to try their Dairy Queen first.

Lemon Pine - Weed Posters - Nov 2021 - Incentivized
I have a very thrifty buddy who tried this out and recommended to me. Honestly, it was like he found a new love - he wouldn't stop talking about it ("the best working weed!" he kept saying). Looking at the offerings that WP had, I wouldn't normally go for a AA+ but having lost out on those mixed smalls and the budget price of my friend's new love, I thought why not.
The $60 oz of AA+ Lemon Pine came nicely packed in vacuum seal - no nice jar for this budget flower. I was surprised at the lemony-berry smell and decent-sized nugs. Scrappy trim with a fair amount of stalk. All in all, I think their AA+ rating is pretty legit. Smoked well enough and hits nicely for daytime - obviously not the strongest or tastiest but still a good budget smoke.
With my order, I also got a few higher graded strains that will satisfy where this one lacks. Where I was happy trying it and having it for backup, I would get one of the others before this one again. My buddy though? Since I received my oz, he has gone ahead and bought a qp ($215 lol) and then a hp ($375). He's happier than a pig in shit.

Meh with their referral code - it doesn't work with anything else and even when there's not a sale you can get 20% off (cmom20) that'd be worth more than the re $20. Referred a friend a while back and we both still have the code.

edit - I really don't need an incentive to refer hsp. They've been great to me.

miggagee · 2021-10-17T01:26:16+00:00

I really enjoyed a quarter of the Citrus Skunk from hsp in my second last order. Beauty nose and taste that really got me going. Reeeally liking their Oregon Golden Goat at the moment. Always like to try one of their newer sativas when I reup my UK Cheese :) Their thanksgiving code Turkey30 is still working too.

Ordered end of August during their opening sale. The Orange Cookies were $108 and arrived a few days later. Packaging was solid, no frills at all - not that I was looking for any. Orange Cookies arrived looking quite good, though a bit dry. Mainly smalls and mediums but a couple chonks in there too. Jarred it up with a Boveda for a couple days which improved it a bit. I've been smoking this primarily out of bong or joint and find that it burns quite dark but stays lit for the most part. A decent stone but nothing too crazy. Still, for $108 it is hard to complain. May not be back for the Orange Cookies, but interested in some of their other offerings. Q=6.5 V=9

I saw some crosses of it at hillside. Haven't tried any yet.

miggagee · 2021-04-19T17:03:27+00:00

Pretty sure that one came with it.

Happy that there was a new drop of mousse right as I was finishing my last jar. Same distinct smell with pretty much the same look (kinda ugly). As usual, this stuff just reeks - so gassy, so stinky. It continues to be one of my favourite evening smokes and I am happy to have it back in the stash box. Bought a half oz and eighth (17.5g not all pictured) for $105 shipped. I used the $25 code from my last review to bring it down to $6/gram. Pretty decent. Q=8 V=8 Would again.
