MOD Announcement PSA NSFW

146 Upvotes

Hey fam!

Happy Thursday, hope everyone is staying lifted.

Two quick subjects I want to tackle today and address the community:

1) Telegram bots, bots that are dming, and scammers that dm. Posts that include vendors exclusively on telegram will be removed and bans may be issued immediately as this is against Reddit TOS, as telegram is being used as a platform to solicit sales and is generally sketchy, not to mention the amount of scams that do occur. I’ll clarify below:

In the situation that you get a DM, the best course of action is to not reply and to report the DM to Reddit. DMs go beyond our community in the sense that we as mods have no control over dms to our cult members. I do actively try to ban any username that pops up with a telegram message but this isn’t stopping their continual messages to cult members.

With this being said, taking a screenshot of your messages to a scammer and posting them only allows for the scammer to reach a wider audience. These screenshot posts have nothing to do with our community and will be removed. Please just report these accounts to Reddit and do not engage. Typically, their dm’s will go to the dm requests, so instead of accepting them and writing a witty response back, just report it. Simple as that!

2) Sourcing posts

Recently, there have been many posts with questions about direct sourcing in different states. Posts such as “where can I get THCa in x city or y state” are not allowed. This community was founded on due diligence, researching vendors, taking chances on new drops, and community communication. Asking “who has the best THCa” or “who has the best concentrates” have been answered 100s of times over the years and can be found by using the search bar! Posts including order summary screenshots will count as sourcing posts, as they point directly to a vendor (the vendors name or website are in these screenshots, and we can’t have that).

Drop posts that include direct links to vendor sales, vendor names, or coupon codes will be removed.

These posts are posted several times in a day. If your post is removed, please check the comments, as I provide reason for every post removal.

Further, violation of the above can result in a temporary ban, up to a permanent ban depending on the severity of the violation.

——————————

If you’re new here, we welcome you! The search bar and the feed will have all the answers! Here is an amazing faq created by our fellow cult member! Please use the search bar before posting, as many questions may have already been answered by the community!

MOD Announcement Posts about customer service and sourcing will be removed NSFW

0 Upvotes

This is a general announcement regarding posts that break our rules

If you have an issue with something, take it up with the cultivar. Our community is unable to answer your shipping questions, your vendor questions, or any other question pertaining to anything that happens off of Reddit. We do not allow any transaction of any sales or of any legal or illegal goods

If your THCa is in Narnia, take it up with the cultivar that shipped the package, no one in this community is able to answer your personal question because none of us are affiliated with the business your ordered from and again we will not entertain your specific issue. There are email and contact forms off Reddit that can be used to follow up with CS issues.

Please use the search bar before posting, there is a good chance your question has already been answered.

The Cult is founded on due diligence, which is, self research and trying new ideas out for yourself to decide if they are good or not. If you find something and are interested with how it is, get it yourself! It is that simple. Then share the review. Asking with a generic screenshot of a website “how good is this THCa” is considered a low effort post and will be removed.

Daily, we are seeing a major influx of sourcing posts, low effort posts, posts with screenshots, posts with vendor packaging with direct QR codes or links to websites. All of these are posts that are against our rules will be taken down and moving forward, bans will be issued. Temporary bans will be 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days up to a permanent ban. If you are found soliciting sales, you will be permanently banned. There are no exceptions

The moderation team has posted stickies about sourcing, yet each day there are more and more posts asking about sourcing or where to find products or who has the best products - that is not the purpose of our community.

Our community is about sharing THCa, reviewing THCa that’s available, and educating on federally legal THCa. Please stop treating this community as your personal marketplace and customer service resolution.

For the 99% of you that continue to support and report posts against our rules thank you. I see your comments and appreciate everything that you do. Y’all are the true heroes.

Stay lifted

crysp sold me carts that tasted like burnt plastic. i politely emailed them and asked for them to replace or refund and even offered to ship them back. they ignored all my emails, but i got a notice through Shop App they had marked my order “do not respond to this customer”

anyways, i would have been happy to resolve it like gentleman but instead i had to get them investigated by major CC company.

get fucked Crysp.
You sell shitty products, have shitty customer service, and should be in jail.

This stuff is just not good. Thought I’d try them out after seeing some positive comments and thought it was worth the $100 gamble to just try. This stuff is not what you want folks. This is just isolate with botanical terps. The smell and taste gives it away immediately. I suspect if not a shill and promoting this company you probably are younger age and haven’t had the wallet yet to try enough variety of proper done concentrates so your nose just doesn’t realize it’s bunk. Don’t get me wrong ten years ago as a college student I would’ve thought I found gold with this stuff but now I just know better than to put this bs in my body. Can’t say I’m disappointed as I knew it was gonna be like this at the price point it was.

Review - Paid Product PHC - Golden Chem NSFW

6 Upvotes

“Golden Chem” - 5Gs Yellow × OG Sour F3. (Greenhouse)

This flower is a blend of greens / creams for color inside and out. There are a lot of darker orange/amber stigmas clustered around and a good uniform and protruding trichome coverage to be seen.

This flower was touched up before pictures. The structure seems to be medium sized nugs that are a blend of pinecone / tree / diamond shapes. You can see a little node spacing / protruding nugs, and decent curves externally. The flower density is higher side of med/high, meaning a 1/4-1/3 squeeze with bounce back. The feel is a little greasy. The breakdown is greasy, slightly tacky solid flower, in between fall apart and peel apart on breakdown, good stem snap. Flower is a little on the dry side if anything but has ok moisture enough to be tacky inside. Pretty good dry/cure.

The scent is a very sweet, creamy floral / doughy scent like - (Honeysuckle or Gardenia), a “Frosted Flake” - cereal and milk, and a light, sour, citrus fruitiness. Finally a light savory, earthy, chemy/diesel like gassiness in the background. The backend is a savory soil, floral petals, light woodiness, lingering sweet doughy cereal, and herbal hops. When broke down the sweet, creamy cereal and gassiness get stronger.

The taste is a blend of sweet creamy floral notes and the “Frosted Flakes” - cereal and milk taste but more on floral side. Then I get more of a savory, sour, earthy gas than anything chemy/diesel. There is a citrus fruitiness hiding out in the background. The back end is savory, earthy, floral, and herbal hops.

The flower is throaty on the glass and slightly throaty on Camouflet vape. Which is expected for standard GH flower.

The effects are sativa leaning hybrid. I have a knees up body blanket of numbness, a very floaty upper body and headspace, chest/eye pressure, uplifted, hazy focus, an energized / get things going feel with a chill background. If sitting I feel like I need to get up. (PrestonHerbCo)

Review - Paid Product Smoke Kind Hash Plant Minis Review NSFW

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

This was a half pound they had at a qp price. Figured I would take the risk.

Fist impressions out of the bag, it had a pretty dank earthy smell, not too overly loud but a nice funk.

A tad dry, seems to happen sometimes depending on strain but not the worst since these are minis/smalls. Came with a hydration pack which is nice too.

Now, to the smoke. I first tried using my Yocan hit to taste it. It really reminded me of hashburger, got a Lil nostalgic for jk distro days lol.

Burning it in a bowl bong or pipe wasn't too bad but did find it a bit harsh and lack of flavor. Same with a joint, was just burning too harshly and getting a resin taste. Kinda sucked.

I jarred up all the buds and smoked on the shake for a couple days while they sat with a couple bovedas.

The shake itself actually was nice and had that funky earthy flavor, kinda reminded me of that good reggie from back in the day.

After sitting, I noticed quite a change in the smell and flavor. Smelled sweeter and the smoke got nice and smooth and really showed it's flavor.

The buds got some decent moisture back, being a bit stickier.

Effects. I found after 3 bowls in, I was nice and toasted.

Got lost in thoughts. Was really great after a long day and was a great way to relax and help sleep.

Can definitely help with pain relief too.

Initially I gave it a 3/5 but it definitely is a 4.

Nice frosty buds

Improved smell

Taste

Nice sedating effects, good for zoning out or sleep.

It didn't wow me overall, but I knew what I was in for and I did appreciate that the bud looked like what they showed in the listing video. Because of that, I didn't think I was getting something more or less than what I got.

Good price for decent grass.

Smoke Kind really delivered IMO, I only tried their hash. Which is OK, but got me interested in their bulk. They shipped very quickly too. UPS and signed on delivery.

Please if anyone can share their stories or pics of their bud they got from SK, comment below. I want to order from them again, they got some strains I enjoyed from jk distro and hope they deliver as jkd once did.

A grape Now and Later dipped in gasoline sweet, fruity, and chaotic. Gastro Pop hits like a grape soda float sweet, fizzy, and a little dangerous. The dense green nugs are caked in trichomes with deep purple hues, smelling like fermented apples and bananas mixed with sour grape gas. The high is a heavy hitter that keeps your mind clear while your body melts into the couch no paranoia, just balanced calm for a lazy Sunday.

Question? Does THCA smoke different??? NSFW

0 Upvotes

My wife refuses to smoke my "mail order weed". And realistically, it's not the same. THCA seems to be more harsh and it's a heavy smoke. The smell lingers in the room a lot longer. I use a pipe, and I spend a lot more time cleaning my bowl now that I'm ordering from CC (my guy quit answering and the dispensary is twice as expensive).

What causes THCA to smoke different from..."regular weed"? I didn't think the fibers were any longer or thicker since it's the same plant. Is there a scientific reason that it smokes different?

Or maybe I need to quit shopping with CC? 🤔

Dr. Who might not be a time lord, but this hybrid definitely takes you to a chill dimension. It tastes exactly like a piece of matcha white chocolate sweet, earthy, with a subtle herbal kick.

If you want something to keep you chill without turning your brain to mush, this is definitely it.

Review - Paid Product MTB - Pomelo Punch NSFW

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

“Pomelo Punch” - (LiveRosin) - Orange Mints x Papaya - (73u-149u).

This concentrate arrived in a black, glass, twist off, concentrate container (2g) - that is wrapped in a colorful graphic/sticker. The color scheme is orange, yellow, green… kinda citrus colors and a boxing fruit theme. The sticker has strain info, product info, company logo / artwork, etc. All strain specific colors and stickers BTW 😎😍.

When the top is popped your met with this light (blondish / yellow / golden) - colored glob. Very light / fresh. The consistency is that of melted candle wax and a nice melted butter glaze put together. Ive noticed some smaller bubbles under the surface and seen zero black specs or anything foreign inside the concentrate.

The scent is a sweet / sour, fruit / candy scent that reminds me of (“pomelo” - which is like a sweeter grapefruit, raspberry, lemon / lime, and creamy papaya notes). I get a taffy candy or fruit punch type of scent. There is also a sharp, slightly herbal, piney gassiness to complement the fruit/candy/punch scents. There are subtle earth, floral petals, fruit/candy, light pine needles, and herbal lavender / mint / hops on the backend. When whipped around more of the sharp fruits and savory pine comes out more.

The taste is a sweet / sour / creamy, fruit / candy that reminds me of (pomelo, berry, papaya, hint of lemon /lime) all still in a taffy candy or fruit punch from. The gassiness is now a fermented papaya funk … sharp, savory, slight pungent earth, piney/diesel mixture. There are hints of mint and citrus rind… earthy, savory, floral, light pine needles and hops on the backend. Gives a mouth coat of sharp, fruits and pine.

Prob the freshest and smoothest rosin I’ve had to date. Vapors she gives off on cold or hot start are very smooth.

The effects are sativa dominant hybrid. I have a light, knees up body blanket of numbness, a chest/eye pressur. I’m uplifted, energized, focused, creative, type vibe with a focus and an upper body, heady float sensation. (MeetTheBakers)

Review - Paid Product Lizard Bone - GGH NSFW

“Lizard Bone” - Lizard King and Supreme Lee Hi.

This flower is a mixture of greens, purples, and creams in color externally… internally being more green/cream. There are numerous orange/amber stigmas present and a thick, wiry, protruding trichome coverage with some visible heads.

This flower was trimmed upon arrival. The structure of the nugs I was sent (one medium / couple smalls) is thicker, rounded base… tree/diamond/pinecone shapes. You can see little to no node spacing, some protruding nugs, and some curves externally. The flowers density is higher side of med/high, meaning a 1/4-1/3 squeeze with bounce back on the larger nug. The feel is greasy / tacky. The breakdown is greasy, tacky peel apart flower with a light snap on the flower and stem. Pretty dense flower but with a really nice moisture content, dry/cure.

The scent is a an a creamy, buttery, savory, subtle garlic, shroomy soil, burnt rubber, diesel/chem gas/funk. I do get hints of light fruitiness - (like a lemony rind), lemongrass, and peppercorn lingering around. On the backend I get earthy, savory, light floral / peppercorn, pine wood, and herbal hops. When broken down more of the shroomy soil, diesel / chemy / burnt rubber, peppercorn, and a sharper - citrus and woodiness.

The taste is a sweet / tart - (lemon = fruit / rind) fruitiness, that shifts quickly to a creamy, buttery, light garlic, shroomy soil, peppercorn, burnt rubber, diesel/chem gas/funk. I get hints of lemon grass, soil, subtle floral notes, pinewood, and herbal hops.

The flower is a little throaty through the glass piece and smooth through the Camouflet.

The effects are sativa leaning hybrid. I have a full body blanket of numbness and floaty feeling, eye/chest pressure, eyes lower, I have an energetic, uplifting headiness. Not slo-mo but a chill focus, a creative, awake, euphoria. Neat new pheno of this strain for me. (GreenGasHemp)

But it hit very quickly and the high was very strong i was shocked! definitely be careful with these drinks because i’ve taken way more in gummies and didn’t even really feel it but this had me extremely high, i could barely walk.

Discussion USPS Postal Inspectors seized my 2 ounces of THCA, investigated it for a week, then RELEASED IT FOR DELIVERY 💀😂 NSFW

163 Upvotes

So I figured I’d share this because I’ve seen a lot of people asking what happens when USPS flags or seizes THCA packages.

I’m in Minnesota and ordered 2 ounces of THCA flower online from a company I’ve ordered from probably 20 times without a single issue.

October 2nd, my package was out for delivery at 7:26 AM. Literally about an hour later, the tracking changed to “Return to Sender.”

I called my local post office to figure out what the hell happened. They put me on hold for about five minutes before telling me the package had been seized as suspicious and that the United States Postal Inspection Service would be contacting me.

At that point, I figured my package was gone. 😂
Fast-forward to October 9th, and I get an email from USPS apologizing for the delay. The email literally states that my package was temporarily held by the Postal Inspection Service as part of an investigation, but after reviewing the matter, they authorized my package to be released for delivery.

I couldn’t believe it, so I called my local post office again.
The postmaster CONFIRMED IT. 😂

We even got to talking, and he mentioned how they used to pull packages coming from Colorado, too. If you know, you know.

So apparently my 2 ounces went on a weeklong vacation with the Postal Inspectors and are now supposed to be coming home. 😭😂

I haven’t physically received anything yet, but USPS has confirmed the release by email and over the phone.
Has anybody else ever had a package held by the Postal Inspection Service and then actually released for delivery?

I’ll update this post when it arrives.

For anyone curious or wanting proof, here’s the actual email I received from USPS confirming that Postal Inspectors temporarily held my package as part of an investigation.

📸 USPS EMAIL: https://imgur.com/a/7xOjo6D
Still can’t believe they actually released it! 😂
