Overall rating out of 10: 7/10

Sign Up: Signup was simple. I had to send ID through the site and it was a bit confusing, might be because I was on my phone, had to edit profile and then use some obscure options. It worked out but it wasn't exactly simple.

Ordering & Pricing: Prices throughout the site are pretty standard, I wouldn't say it's cheap. There was a 25% off code provided by them here on the forum which made them better.

Communication: This part went well, I had many little issues with the site / checkout and they were quick to reply and efficient in resolving the issues.

Packaging: This was one of the least paranoid packages I got (I'm used to several layers of vacuum). There was no vacuum bag but the weed was in vacuum sealed thick Mylar baggies, branded. Absolutely no smell despite all this. The vape pen was inside a very tight plastic tube, which in turn was inside a large aluminum "bullet" type tube. CBD capsules were in a standard plastic bottle with plenty of cotton to prevent them from moving during transport. Everything was inside a box with packing "peanuts", which was sealed with tape, inside a bubble mailer.

Products / Photos: I was offered samples after reporting some issues to them following a post they made here. I ordered CBD pills for my mother which suffers from severe chronic back and knee pains, a vape pen to see what the type is all about (only ever used dry vapes before) and an height of their G-Code weed. I got a sample of Citrus Skunk as well as a sample of Infinity, I don't have a balance but they looked like 3/4 of a gram each. I have not tested all the products yet.

G-Code: As you can see from the picture, this is purple as hell, it's actually my first true purple score from a MOM and it's so purple it's almost black, quite an alien looking bud. I'll say it up front, it's not very fresh, it looks like it dried and was rehumidified. It's got some humidity to it as I received it, but looking at it close (zoom the pic) you can see the pistils have dried to their death at some point. The nose of this weed is absolutely unique, it literally smells exactly what pure THC smells when you smoke dab it, you know shatter/wax/etc that is terpless? That unique taste, this is what this smells like when it's fresh. It's very earthy, borders chocolate/coffee, it's hard to describe. Smoking this was a bit of a bummer because of the lack of freshness, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either, not much taste/terps make it through the smoke. The smoke isn't harsh though, it's still a good smoke. The buzz is most definitely a creeper, when I was done smoking my joint I wasn't impressed at all but over the next 15 mins it kicked in hard. I didn't do my homework to see if it's sativa or indica but the buzz is definitely sativa leaning, good headbuzz, very light body effects, not sleepy, good buzz! I'm giving this a 7/10, but I bet if it were fresher this would be close to a 10. I found a seed in the first bud I ground, no idea if there are others.

Citrus Skunk: Initial impression on nose is that it seems past it's prime, bit dry, no terp attack when opening the bag. I messed around with it a bit to take the pictures and got a couple of nice whiffs come out of it. After opening the bud and grinding it, a very nice smell comes out, a nice mix of exactly what the strain states, citrus with a hint of skunk. The bud I got was pretty dry and spending a couple days with a boveda didn't really bring it back to life. Despite that, the smoke on this tasted very nice, but it does have a spicy aftertaste that attacks the back of the nose a bit, nothing extreme but I wasn't able to take huge puffs on this without coughing. Overall it clearly suffers from it's dryness and I'm sure it was a much better bud back when it was fresher. Giving it a 7/10, I definitely cannot agree with the AAAA rating on this bud as I received it. It would be really good weed if priced at 125$ or so per OZ, but as an AAAA it's overrated.

Infinity: This one seemed fresher and had a nice smell to it when opening the bag. It has a piney smell mostly, real nice. Once ground, I realized it was pretty dry, the smell again is nice but really faint. Started smoking it and it pretty much has no terpenes getting through. I botched it after 5-6 puffs and smoked something else. This is like a 4/10 for me. Can't comment on the buzz didn't smoke enough.

Best Pen: Don't have a good pic of this. Unfortunately this one leaked during transport and lost most of it's contents inside the transport tube. Looking at it I'm guessing I have 1/3 left in it. It doesn't seem damaged and after cleaning it up, it doesn't seem to be leaking anymore and it's functional. The website doesn't give a choice of strain and there is no indication of one anywhere, not sure what the hell I smoked. In any case, it doesn't have much taste over the THC itself, pulls well, works well and it only took 3-4 draws to make me very stoned. No complaints, it does the job and it tastes fine.

CBD capsules: The bottle contains 20 capsules of 20mg each. I have not tried them, they are for my mother. I'll try one before to make sure there's no buzz (my mom is scared of that). Will update later.

Notes: I had lots of small issues with the site, nothing big. I reported them and I suppose they will work on fixing them. One of the issues was shipping costs, their FAQ state it's a 17.50$ flat rate. When I went to checkout, it was 20$. Then when I actually finished the checkout, it was 25$. I asked about it and was told the 17.50 was an error and they need to fix the FAQ... The extra 5$ is because they have variable shipping rates depending on the province. There was no mention of this at checkout until it was too late. Tax was also added, despite the final checkout ledger listing it at 0$... Ended up making what I had to send about 12.50$ more than what I had agreed on. I complained and they allowed me to send 5$ less for the extra shipping. I didn't complain about the tax, but I feel it should be stated in the checkout ledger at the very least.

Overall, I'll just say that their definition of AAAA and mine are not aligned.

Hmmm, maybe the pen may have had issues when they shipped it from BC via airplane (air pressure). When ordering pens it's much better to use the slow ground method. I think Grasschief suggests this when ordering their pens.

Nice review BTW.

They are sending a replacement... Lets hope it makes it fine this time. It's already out, didn't know about pens being an issue in planes. They told me they never had this issue before so I guess it's just bad luck? I don't know...

I left two of my cartridges (one attached to the battery and a spare cart) in my car while I was at work. 8 hours later and 35 degree weather....both carts gone! Happened to my buddy as well. Learn from our mistake, don't leave your carts in your car when its "blazing" hot outside .

Update on the pen. They sent me a replacement, no hassle. Just got the replacement today and it blew it's wad during transport as well. It clearly happened after it left them because they added padding throughout the package to prevent damage. I'm going to guess it's the air pressure difference during flight that are in cause. In any case, I would not recommend getting a pen by plane mail following this experience.

Updated my review for the Citrus Skunk which I had a chance to try last night.
