buyweedonlineshop.ca - The Fat Five Sample Pack Review
Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2018 8:51 am
I received these products as a sample pack that was offered for an unbiased review of this MOM's services and products. I have zero other arrangements or affiliations with this company. Though I list them, I don't comment on prices when I haven't personally made a purchase (save the comments on Gelato pricing in general), because in the end, something is worth what someone will pay for it, so my feelings on the subject are irrelevant.

Overall rating out of 10:
Services: 8
Products: 10
Communication: 10
Sign Up:
Signup was taken care of for me by the staff, but I have since run through the sign up process on the website and it is straightforward.
Ordering & Pricing:
Ordering: Again, ordering was taken care of by the MOM.
Pricing: This MOM offers pricing in the typical ranges; Budget. AA. AAA. AAAA.. Anywhere from $100 to $236 an ounce at the time I researched this review.
Communication:
Communication was friendly and rapid. I was approached by this MOM here on the forum and further communication was all by email.
Packaging:
I really, REALLY, disliked the document mailer they used to send this sample pack in. It was damn near completely see through and I am half surprised it even showed up. Not happy that my mailman probably has a great idea what I am receiving in my mailbox (see photo). Inside that shitty mailer was a vacuum sealed bag, within which each gram was further packaged into its own sample bag. There was no discernible smell but that hardly matters when you can practically SEE what it is in good light.
General Product Notes:
On the whole, these are some of the best cured, freshest samples I have received from any MOM; the cure is dead on, there is still plenty of individualistic aroma, they aren't completely smashed to hell, and each strain ran the gamut from reasonably dense to igneous rock. Very nice buds, and each sample was over-weighed by at least 0.1g, to as much as 0.3g, for a grand total of 0.9g extra flower (not bad for samples!).
Nice hybrid buzz, probably more toward sativa in effects, my head felt very balloon-like; quite a floaty cerebral high. The smell was a fairly strong, sweet-skunk, which I found very appealing (found myself sniffing this one a lot). The vape flavour was a mild, earthy taste and the vapour wasn't harsh at all. This bud had nice milky trichomes and a good deal of pistils (red hairs). The bud was extremely dense but broke up nicely. I could see myself smoking this basically anytime during the day. Its just enough that you get a bit of extra spring in your step, but not so much you forget your wallet at your uncle Ron's house. 0.2g vape bowl in Solo II had me feeling the effects pretty hard for a good 20-30 mins. Website Price: $197oz..

I don't know what it is. but I can't shake the feeling that haze strains smell like piss. Maybe you'll love it, I do not. It's always a combination of a homeless man's body odour and Garfield's cheesy, lasagna piss. What I DO love, however, are the effects that haze strains are known for, and this strain is no different. This bud looked almost like ragweed at first glance, then I got the camera on it. Turns out it has an amazing bud structure; coated in pistils, and loaded with earthy tones and colours! While quite dense, this one breaks up nice also. The vapour taste was really nice, bit herby I'd say, and the vapour itself was not harsh. Anyone who loves a haze stone will not be disappointed here, in fact, it might be my new favourite haze strain. The effects are a bit creeper for a sativa but they are strong and long lasting. Of the five samples I received, this might be one of two that I reorder... Really dig it. The 3 star review on their website for this strain is out to lunch. Website Price: $197oz
My Rating: 4.5/5
This weed stinks. I mean, all weed stinks, but wow. Smells like bread and butter pickles brined in cougar piss. Smells like bigfoot's dick (Anchorman). Anyways, I'll be honest, I vaped this a little closely together with the brainstorm haze, so the effects may have mixed slightly. Fortunately they are both fantastic haze strains and the transition was smooth as glass. Again, dense, milky trichomey bud that breaks up really nice; fantastic cure. Vapes smooth and hits a little quicker than the brainstorm, though I found I just liked the effects of the brainstorm slightly more. Classic haze stone, gorgeous buds, this stuff will rock your daytime casbah. Good high energy buzz for getting all the things done. Website Price: $185oz

I'll confess some bias here, I LOVE both rockstar and pink kush, so when I first heard tell of this cross, I had to change my shorts. This stuff relaxes you right off the first exhale; fears of sharks and dragons, bill collectors and ex-wives simply float out the window, and the couch becomes my castle. Buds were popcorn sized and extremely dense, and because of that, I found it broke up a bit dense--stayed small, maybe not great for joints (I only vape). The smell of this sample was slightly muted but there was a distinct citrus note to it. Very frosty nugs with nice milky trichomes. Vapour on this strain is a bit harsher than the previous three, but I also find it slightly more potent, so that may be why. Dense vapour with a bit of a sour note. Overall, really enjoyed this strain and it is the other strain I may re-order. Website Price: $185oz

Ahh, the famed "Larry Bird"... This is my first experience with this very hyped strain and I have to say, once again, the hype tips the scale. While this is a VERY GOOD strain, I don't know if I can personally justify some of the prices per OZ that I have seen this strain at. At the time of writing this review, buyweedonlineshop.ca was out of stock of the Gelato, so I could not find a price, but I have a feeling it is priced at the higher end of their range. While this bud is extremely milky and frosty, it is too dense to have much appeal, it is much more appealing when broken up. Gelato smells like chocolate or icecream, or GELATO, to me, its rather unbelievable. I didn't think I'd ever smell a bud where I didn't get the scent of weed, safe to say, this doesn't smell like your mother's weed (unless your mom buys from this MOM). Effects are pretty strong; they come on quick and I felt quite ripped. It wasn't as long lasting as I would have expected for a strain with so much hype, but the strength of the effects more than made up for the brevity. Overall, one of the better strains I have had in the past months, but I doubt I would pay an exorbitant price above $200 an ounce.
My rating: 4/5
The website features a "Specials" section where ounces can be found as low as $100 (1 strain only at the time of this review). They offer free shipping at $150 and above.
Incentive for Review:
I was provided a five-gram sample pack and asked if I would write an honest, unbiased review of their products and services, to which I agreed, and upon completion of this review, all services have been rendered and will cease. I have no on-going agreement with this MOM.
Notes:
There is a lot of noise on this forum about shill reviewing and whether or not accepting a sample pack in exchange for a review constitutes a bias. I have expressed my opinion on this matter elsewhere on this forum and will not tackle it here. Suffice it to say, this review is 100% honest, and at no point have I tried to conceal information or muddy the waters. Take this review with a grain of salt, as I am not a professional, but I have decided to step up the "professionalism" in an effort to preserve transparency. I invite any MOM who does sample exchanges and wishes to associate their brand with mature, honest reviews to contact me.
P.S. to buyweedonlineshop.ca:
I spun your stupid wheel and it ripped me off. Where's my 10%?
Thanks for reading,

The Extreme Haze probably my favorite, one wicked nug that nearly scored on the Moh's scale.
