Candyland is one of my favorite daytime strains. This is one of the happiest strains I have ever tried. It's not a fall down laughing over nothing strain. It's a go about your day with a big smile on your face strain. It leaves me clear headed in an uplifted way, so that I can do whatever I need to get accomplished. It's completely free from paranoia, which is refreshing in a daytime strain. I highly recommend this for social situations and creative endeavors.
I picked this up because of its consensus effects on pain and inflammation. I was not disappointed. I have severe osteoarthritis. Inflammation and sharp stabbing pains are a fact of life. This strain has proven to be a big help. It's not a daytime strain for active outdoor activities. It's a settle back in the evening, slip into restful sleep strain. It's not mind-clouding. It's more about letting go of stress and strain. Definitely worth picking up and keeping on hand.
I was a regular customer of this dispensary since recreational sales began last July. However, I will not be back.
I refuse to patronize any business which engages in shoddy business practices. In this case, their handling of their loyalty program was completely inexcusable. The supposed format was that once you had accumulated $500 in purchases on your punchcard, you would receive $50 in store credit. For a senior citizen on a fixed income, that's very significant. However, even that program was seriously flawed. You were only credited in increments of $50. If you spent $95, too bad, you only got credit for $50. You could conceivably spend $900+ before you reached $500 on your card.
Nevertheless, as of today's visit I would have had $450 in credit. But no, they told me, "No, sorry we don't do those anymore. We stopped taking those loyalty cards about a week ago." And that was it. Essentially they just stole $45 in earned credits from me. Again, as a senior on a fixed income, that's huge.
What makes it utterly inexcusable is that there was no notice of the change. I am signed up to receive their text notifications. I receive 2-4 texts a week. A reputable business would have sent out a straightforward notice ahead of time to let people know that they had X days to use their credits. But no, they just decided to stick it to their long time loyal customers and steal everyone's earned credits.
They just lost a loyal customer, permanently. There are way too many other dispensaries who know how to run a business properly.
This is a very nice daytime strain. It's quietly uplifting with a pleasant, cheerful high. Sativas can give me a little paranoia, but there was none of that with this strain.
It's also a long lasting, smooth high. There was a nice initial buzz, followed by a tapering off to a continuing, enjoyable high, with enough energy and clarity to be able to go about my day. This would be a great strain to do with friends, and to enhance a day in the outdoors.
I am a fan of this strain for two reasons. First, it helps lessen the pain from my severe osteoarthritis. Second, it's uplifting without being too heavily couch locking and without mind numbing cerebral effects. It's a Goldilocks strain that hits the sweet spot. It's smooth and easy to smoke, with a pleasant enough taste and aroma. It's uplifting, melting away stress and tension, while letting me go about my day. It helps relieve pain, although it's not a miracle drug that makes pain completely disappear. All in all, I highly recommend this as a very nice daytime or evening strain.
This is a nice strain that falls into my "share with the inlaws" group. (Hey, I like my inlaws). It's smooth and easy to smoke, it has a mild, pleasant taste and aroma, and a nice gentle high. It is a bit of a creeper in my experience. On my first experience with it I took my normal number of puffs, then after not really feeling the effects for about 15 minutes I did another session worth. About 10 minutes later it felt like my brain had just been screwed into a lamp socket. Luckily it was a 60 watt bulb, not an 800 watt grow lamp. Since then I know to use my normal amount and be patient.
The high is gentle and uplifting, and great for relieving stress and anxiety. It's good for productive activities and busy days.
I made my first visit to Nuwu this morning. I was delighted with the experience. The store is spacious and well laid out. It's a standalone building with plenty of parking in their own dedicated lot. It's easy to get in and out, and easy to find with their excellent signage. It's convenient to downtown Las Vegas, just a short jaunt straight down Main Street from the Fremont Street Experience.
The staff were friendly and helpful, from the security staff to the check-in desk to the budtenders to the cashiers. I really appreciated the fact that the budtender quoted me the out-the-door price with all taxes and fees for each item. This is very helpful in making your purchases.
The selection is good and the prices are completely reasonable. I'm a retiree on a fixed income, and consequently I'm a value shopper. I was pleased to find a very good deal on a strain that meets my medical needs while fitting my budget. I did also indulge in a purchase of prerolls of the hard-to-find Tangerine Dream and Skywalker strains. All in all I highly recommend this dispensary.
I have visited all three Canopi locations and have been completed satisfied with my experiences at all three. Their entire staff, from front desk to budtenders to security, are uniformly friendly, courteous and helpful. I primarily use their Blue Diamond location due to their wider selection, but I am always able to find good deals on good medicine at all three.
To me, their #1 strong point is providing good value. As a retiree on a fixed income, this is very important to me. I can find highest quality strains at Canopi at reasonable prices. I can also find products with lower THC content at absolute bargain prices. Today I picked up a full ounce of Blue Dream shake with 15.9% THC for $109. That's the kind of deal that will keep me coming back for a long time.
One final note. As someone with severe osteoarthritis, I find Canopi to be the absolute best for stocking high CBD products at reasonable prices. They're a great source for Avi-dekel, Harlequin, and similar strains. They're also the best source around for the Tikun Olam line.
Inyo is simply one of the best dispensaries in the Las Vegas valley. The selection is good; the quality is good; the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful; and the prices are completely reasonable. Several menu items are excellent buys. It's halfway across town from where I live, but it's worth planning ahead so that I can stop in when I am in the area to take advantage of the excellent stock and service.
I tend to rate strains very strictly. In other words, a good-to-very-good strain gets 4 stars. Five stars are reserved for the very best. Lavender Jones is very good indeed, so four stars it is.
What's really impressive is how much I like this strain under difficult circumstances. I got a gram under a rewards program when buying something else. When I examined the gram at home I discovered that it had been harvested more than a year earlier. Furthermore, the gram consisted of tiny nugs too small to be called "popcorn", padded with small broken off chunks. For all that, it had a pleasant aroma and a smooth draw (considering the age).
After a brief delay, I experienced a strong cerebral high that lasted about 20 minutes, followed by a mild, uplifted body high. I experienced some relief of chronic pain, without any of the anxiety mentioned in some reviews. I came in for a soft landing about 90 minutes after I started.
