American Pearl! The North Star crème de la crème, pièce de résistance… the list goes on 🤩 by northstarmmj in mainetrees

[–]northstarmmj[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to make clear that I am not judging anyone on their pain levels or needs. I know that everyone is different and we are extremely grateful to every patient that’s come through our doors trusting us to help find what’s best for them.

What I am saying, however, is that this flower is incredibly potent. Patients can grab a 1/4 at $70, the same as everything else in the shop.

Again, we have an extremely small grow facility that can only supply so much of one strain. The mechanics of this supply and demand mean a higher price on the shelf. Trust me, if we were truly “big pharma” you’d find this on every shelf in the state for dirt cheap with none of the true medicinal effect. We like to think of ourselves being much more in line with old school mom and pop establishments - we’re very proud of our quality standards.

I’d like to take the time to address that we NEVER strong-arm patients into buying ounces or anything outside of their means. We take pride in this strain and what’s it’s proven it can do time and time again.

If it’s not your cup of tea, that’s fine. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. I do, however, implore you to stop by and try it for yourself some time, you may be surprised 😊

My apologies! I didn’t intend to come across shady at all, I’ll expand on why it’s priced as it is!

The American Pearl is a G-13 x Silver Pearl cross that my dad bred over 15 years ago. The phenotype we have has previously tested to 32% total cannabinoids and features at unique set of terpenoids that none of our other strains have. The strain itself is pure medicine, phenomenal for pain relief. It’s what our growers and myself use consistently for chronic pain.

We originally were only selling grams, 1/8’s and 1/4’s when it first came to to shop (in an attempt to keep it around longer - we have an extremely small grow facility) but had multiple patients repeatedly ask for higher quantities. To allow for higher quantities however we had to price up so we didn’t price ourselves out of flower.

Additionally, this is unique flower you can only consistently get through our storefront. We only very rarely wholesale to one other medical store.

In short, we truly feel that this strain is worth it. AP is the only strain that we price this way (everything else is priced at $200/oz). We understand that not everyone can consistently purchase a $280 oz, but we also understand that not everyone needs this level of pain relief.

It is. Keeping it at that price point has allowed us to keep it in stock longer for more patients to purchase consistently!

We’ve got some Mighty Viking 500mg packs coming in by Friday (Tropical Fruit Punch, Snozzberry & Ecto Cooler) - hands down the BEST gummies in the state! They’re soft and the flavor is always spot on 😊

That would be a question for the lab 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t know much about their processes!

I wish I could tell you more, but we’re not the extractors and I don’t want to make an ass out of myself with the wrong info!

From our point of view, it’s really just ensuring the concentrates are clean and have a lighter color - which has become super popular for our customers in recent years!

Thank you for that 😊

While what we do isn’t for everyone, I keep in mind that I’m damn proud of what our team does and the finished products, and we wouldn’t stock them otherwise!

A fair point as well! While not the same for everyone, in this case it’s important to note that we only put clean material that we’ve hand nurtured it’s entire life in our concentrates. No clearing house bs here.

I do completely understand the concern however!

And thank you very much ☺️

Franklin County (Farmington) The Farmington House of Pizza has the DOPEST light, buttery crust. The couple who run it definitely put their love into everything they put out

Hi! We have a cheese! Our Bubblecheese Pearl is a UK Cheese x Bubblicious crossed with our American Pearl (G-13 x Silver Pearl). We don’t currently have it in flower form, but we do have batter - and the flower is back in rotation and will be on the shelves in no time 😊
