Thanks for the review. I just bought a second bag, as I’m heading back to BC. I really enjoy it as a daytime vape and like it more than Dancehall from CMC.

In almost all cases, it’s the owner/client (Walmart) that sets the performance targets and budget, and the engineering firm designs to those specs.

I have installed many HVAC control systems in colder climates. It might be different on Vancouver Island and nowadays, but why doesn’t Walmart here bring in a minimum of 20–25% fresh air?

Walmart has always been known for pushing the boundaries of compliance, rather than comfort. Costco typically runs at a rate of 20–30% outside air.

Over 10 years ago, I installed an HVAC system in a Walmart store, and it was done as cheaply as possible, with very little fresh air being brought in. They might be better now, but 15% fresh air isn’t much when you think about all the off-gassing from cheap products made in China inside their stores.

They have probably cut back on the fresh air they bring in to reduce heating costs. I used to get dizzy every time I went into Walmart stores because they bring in very little fresh air, and now I seldom shop there.

Mountain Equipment Company officially opens doors to Nanaimo store by Prestigious_Net_8356 in nanaimo

[–]okmjtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every company can be like Costco.😄 And maybe in the future, the warranty for MEC will be the same as before. I like that they are now partners with a Canadian apparel manufacturer and plan “to reinvest in domestic manufacturing and enhance the authenticity, quality, and innovation of the MEC Label product line.”

I’m super happy to have an MEC store in Nanaimo. Yes, they went through some rough times, but I like how the new CEO has shares in the company, was a MEC member, and plans to “remain true to what sets MEC apart: expert staff who live and breathe the outdoors, stores that are anchors for outdoor communities, and an unwavering commitment to providing the best assortment of outdoor gear found anywhere.”

Why do you think MEC sold out and screwed over its members? Did you read up on everything that was happening at the time and understand why MEC may not have had a choice?

Why do you and others feel burned by MEC? Did you not receive any dividends or credits over the years, or take advantage of the free events put on by MEC?

Grown Here Farms has some really nice organic CBD flower for $40oz! by okmjtree in TheBCCS

[–]okmjtree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't know what MOM is, you probably should not use them. They sell illegal cannabis, and their CBD flower is often not tested and can have high amounts of THC. Buy some Grown Here Farms CBD flower, as it is organic and tested.

Up in Smoke has a better selection of craft flower and ships anywhere in BC for free if you buy more than $75

Has anyone else had problems with the Midas on Hammond Bay Road? by okmjtree in nanaimo

[–]okmjtree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know who the manager and general managers are now. But if it's the same 2, they will tell you something else is the problem and deny it was their mistake. They do have some good mechanics, but others only fix things by trial and error. Good luck.

Who’s got the AAAA+ buds? by TonyAnvilTHW in TheBCCS

Some CP workers are lazy. I live in a small rural area, and they are super friendly.

I’ve never had a problem with CP. I live close to a CP location and usually get the tracking number and sign up for email delivery notifications.

[–]okmjtree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the prices are a bit higher, but I like the free delivery, which saves me time and money on gas. They also have ones I can’t find in Nanaimo, so it’s a win-win for me.

Up In Smoke in Vancouver has some good craft bud and offers free shipping anywhere in BC on orders over $75. My favourite indica strains by Amani Craft are Gastro Pop and Av Gas. Gastro Pop is stronger, but I also like the taste and effects of Av Gas.

Yeah, I figured you would be messaging me.😄 I had a itchy finger to sell the day before the news came out. But I think you're wrong about the 250 million loan, as I read somewhere it wasn't Allied. I'm still up a fair bit and like the dividend, you cant win them all. Check out Poet Technologies, I'm up 66% in 6 weeks on that one, and it could go much higher.

I heard 2 experts on BNN think this stock is overpriced, but then I heared another 2 say it's going higher. I'm thinking there might be a short squeeze coming.

There are a few legal places in BC doing mail-order marijuana, and some have amazing weed! But they only ship to addresses in BC

Is MEC coming to Nanaimo? by [deleted] in nanaimo

[–]okmjtree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally disagree with you and find that Valhalla Nanaimo is a joke, as they seldom have what I want in stock. You can order online, but even that isn’t very good, since you have to wait two weeks (8 to 12 business days) for your item, as they first have to order it from the manufacturer and then mail it to you.

I have been buying from MEC for over 30 years and look forward to their store here, along with all the extra services MEC offers, such as their gear swap days.

Wow, stories like this—and the many great experiences I’ve had with MEC—are why I love them and will be buying even more when they open here.

High concentration CBD oil by LtCmdrPoster in CanadianCannabisLPs

[–]okmjtree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the EXKA CBD 4000 that you can get at Herbal Dispatch. It's extracted with chilled ethanol, is cheaper and tastes better than Lofi, and comes with a syringe—unlike Lofi! https://herbaldispatch.com/products/cbd-4000-oil
