On Line ordering thru Jarz is a breeze. Customer service checks to make sure one doesn't wait Outside for long..seconds not minutes.The Source One product met expectations.. I still believe Cannabis retailers who sell on line Need To Put Inventory Levels on their product. The software for this has been around for years..
HOC Voice Mail has been full everytime I call for the last 2 yrs. Apparently HOC doesn't pay well enough to keep budtenders around. Always new faces who don't kno about the deals etc etc. Online order has proven to be a bust. 50 % failure rate with on line ordering with this HoC store.. Bate and switch is the norm. Website says they have it but they don't. There are inventory control systems that tell the customer when stock is out. Apparently Cannabis industry doesn't know about that yet. 20 years behind the rest of the retail businesses.. Customer service is 1 or two budtenders with 10+ customers waiting and a party in the back room ,nobody steppin up to serve the customer...but this is the sorry state of all cannabis retail in much of the Phoenix area..Much like the CB radio craze back in the 70's Lots of inexperienced fly by nite operators. Its good to see top Producers finding other retail outlets to sell their product.. HoC hasn't supported their part of the retail equation..imho...Do BETTER
At passing of Prop 207 Marigold went from a hole in the wall Medical customers only..to a well expanded and presented retail dispensary. On Line purchase make visiting Marigold a quick and painless experience ( nobody wants to stand outside in 105f Arizona heat waiting to get in, while a stoner needs help making up his mind over what he wants after 15 minutes of asking questions, ok, ok, the budmeister was cute))..which also means..less time to flirt with the budmeisters and less time just to take in..how open and free cannabis retail has become.Az's Aeriz seems to be the main supporter of Marigold.,,the Community Dispensary .They keep a pretty thorough line up of Aeriz's strains and THC percentages at good prices thru sales and deals. Plenty of outdoor grown suppliers as well to keep everyone happy..Use the On-line ordering if you do not want to hang for awhile waiting for a budmeister...
AlienLabs Krypto via 2honeycomb perc water pipe. Smell is a rounded buttery sweet. The Flavor takes no prisoners, a musty sweet says Hello. Smooth on the throat and a moments later there it is coming up behind the ears ,a pressure wave that is there and then doesn't crest , it simply losses steam and dissipates. Definitely relaxed and a smile that doesn't wanna go away. Yeppers a goofy high. ..a goofy high that demands a physical involvement,,at least once a hour get up and move around for awhile. Too much brain activity to fall asleep on but the smile on your face may mislead folks to other conclusions. The 21% THC is felt but the mind enjoys it longer. I have a personal threshold around 21-22% THC level. Above that I start gettin the headaches and humor gets replaced by anxiety.This took me close to the edge without me being dragged over it.Finished the bowl somewhere on the other side of 2hours in. This time I did cough..and I didn't feel any pressure wave. Perhaps I was higher than I thought..or goofier than I thought. Even after a good diner , I was in no hurry for dessert.I was still high. Alien Labs had me with their Sherbacio, then Melonade and now this close but unique KryptoChronic. This is a good smoke for when you are doing something you like to do..No hurry to reach the end just savoring every moment on the way...yeaa that kind of goofy
At $65 an 8th I expected a primo smoke. I Got a primo smoke.Lemonade is working with the Cookies organization I hear . I was impressed with their Medallin so I try Blanco. The sealed bag from Lemonade contained assorted size buds that are lite green and dark green with orange streaking thru-out. A unique aroma lifted out of the bag ,by my nose, presented a unique, rounded off, warm,slitely sweet pine almost a tea thru the smell glands and to my brain.Not offensive almost like a waft of diner coming from the kitchen.,welcoming.
I reduced half of a small bud to a coarse grind. It decided to stick to the grinder thru thick and thin. Lots of sticky resin. I luv it when I'm moving around the coarse grind and after I stop it keeps moving..Now thats Fresh (harvest date shows 7/22/21).I wonder if pot plants get high,,off of humans? Yes,,it is these kind of thoughts that the Blanco high-way travels thru. Some temple pressure but not until I went to check for it.I already know I won't be couch locked on this .Moments of clarity are noted in this high thatz ready to go whenever you choose,,while you sit in the barcalounger trying to organize and decide what you're gonna do. Its good to have a plan with this. Otherwise you end up watching multi-color light octopi float across the computer screen..the brain likes to be made active by this stuff.
BTW..the taste of this isn't far from the aroma.I took 3 original pulls and 3 chamber clearing hits on a 2 honeycomb perc water pipe. Therez a hint of sweet in this rounded tea, maybe a breath? Maybe 45 minutes later I coughed.Maybe a potent tea with some cream and sugar to round it off, hence the Blanco. ? You can focus on the taste if you choose. Its definitely a strain you can do things while on ,,I keep telling myself.about 2 hrs in the high starts to lessen. By three hours its telling me not a lot left so I hit whats left in the bowl..yea..tea with cream and sugar.
IMHO,,,a sativa heavy hybrid that clocks around a 27%THC level. Smells and tastes good with a energized high lookin for something to do..Lots of fun here, just waiting to be smoked..
Nearing the last of the last bud,should I buy it again? Yes! I like and prefer the way Mede hitz me. No compression wave blowin the top of my head off, just a moment at some point, darn Im stoned!.The lemon taste hangs around and the high is there for me for up to 3 -3.5 hrs off of a couple good rips. Itz pretty smooth, just don't be a pig.Your lungs will object. This hybrid won't glue you to anything except maybe anything that activates the mind. Itz an uplifter, makes you think you're a rock star and every joke is funny. The buds on original buy were large , lotz of orange, and smelly. Then there was a sale. Bought that..small buds,more green than orange and not as stank. So you get what you pay for. Gonna pony up primo prices for it.. but i've yet to find a comparable smoke that hitz me like Medellion hits me. I have tinnitus , some sativas turn up the volume on that. Medellion turns it down and what comes thru can be turned into music, Eddie Van Halen or something. Happiness is delivered with little pain to crash the party. Like Runtz, i see this as a refinement, in noticing whatz not there..headache, muddied high,(the focus ability is note worthy. I like to and can cook when high on Medellion. Not all pot can I say that about) Whatz neat is..goin back for seconds after a meal or just a snack, Mede doesn't knock me out. Medellion is a well behaved, refined, stirred not shaken experience. I will buy more of this fun.
Runtz hitz me like a refined Gelato,,cleaner,, rough edges smoothed out. Nice texture to the smoke that I've yet to cough on ( thru a double honeycomb bong) a sweet that is unique in taste and too easily excuses for more hitz taken than necessary. The high begins around the onset of the 2nd toke. Ok Im a lite weight. Some times I feel the pressure wave rolling up to blow the top of my head off,,but not with Runtz. Itz well behaved, Refined,,Social. At some point I remembered to take a few notes on the high. Again, everything, just refined , distilled more than say Gelato #33. The Aeriz hydroponics may be the cause behind all the refinedness. Yes therez a difference between hydroponically grown and "outside " grown.Runtz makes the most of that difference...clean..aspects traits easily identifiable ,not muddied up...Itz a long high off of 2 or 3 hitz..3+hours. Again, objects in the review mirror may seem longer than really. But the smiles, laffter, good humor of this high is what itz all about. Yes,there is a refined "uplift" as well. This is really good and enjoyable,clean ,and lotz of it. It won top prizes a year ago.So it acts like a benchmark for me and my enjoyment of now legal pot. I have smoked a primo and am amazed how this business has produced a "refined" high without a 30% THC rating...yea Runtz is like Top of the Wine list, one best effort at quality standards not directly connected to THC percentages. The shoppez in the Valley that have it don't have it for long from what i heard. Itz not cheap but it Is Refined. I recommend to everyone, to get some and enjoy it.
Ground half a nub,slitely moist,,double honeycomb wafer bong: On holding the second rip in, the train rolled thru me. no need for another hit..enjoy the tastes lite,sweet,herbal,round? no pressure headache like some sativa hybrids. Felt like a big hole there with no headache and absence of other bodily aches and pains. Smile on my face as a happy breeze swirled thru those holes. Energetic to a degree but lets not get carried away. Wanted to see if reviews from 2015/16 still held up today. The shoppe had GTH on sale at 1/2 oz 's .Bought half an ounce. Im very glad I did. Id settle to rest my sativa exploration here. Nice clean 2 to 3 hr high on just a good hit or two. a bit more body than Jack and at least the same energy if not more. Focus is impressive. It hits me without leaving any bruises.Creativity is notable..ok,ok, ok, my jokes aren't so funny,,by why does every one always go,"got any new ones?"..anyway..get some of this and put it in your rotation...and don't forget to tip your budmeisters
Memory Loss..??..should be called Alzheimers..jk..but its cool to realize,thats what they mean by memory loss..when you realize you have no idea what it was you were having an idea about..so yea plenty of giggly and laughing at my self. Its the hysterical laughing jags that get me and maybe I'll have to smoke some more of this before I get that far with it. I was close but didn't go over the edge on the first bowl.Smoked a tad hot but the nub was a bit dry. I live in the desert.First clue was how easily it ground up. No thing note worthy on taste, a mellow herbal sweet?.Again, a second smoke may change that.Nice time compression, first hour or so gone in a second. I imagine this strain could scare some folks, but for some no memory means burden free. So if you want to fly high unencumbered,,this one will get you there. To be honest, this stuff snapped something in my head. Maybe it was altitude sickness, Wasn't rite for a day and half. Still haven't smoked a 2nd bowl, not a daily smoke. kinda a niche smoke..weirds you out but it makes you laff at it. I had fun with it and it had fun with me, and we walked away having respect for each other..
Anything over 17% THC hits me out of the park. The label on the Gelonade I smoked said 27%..Connected..Nice enough attempt at sweet taste with citrus and its smooth to smoke. Nice long high..looong..27% THC long. Hits well out of the park. Its worth the bucks. Life inexplicables easily turn to smiles and laughs..barely controllable laughs..with this one. Very good psychiatricts(focus and creativity) with the sativa portion with a need to be active interrupting every now and then. I'd keep some this around for special occasions..yeaa,add it to the mix.
