Pacific Cannabis - 7 strains review (free samples)
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2019 3:18 pm
**Small update on this MOM. It came to my ears just today that they candidly said on Discord a while back that when they get mold in the weed they buy, they pick it out and sell the remaining. A friend of mine to whom I had recommended them just got some mold in their Northern Lights and another user on reddit reported this issue with the same strain and got served the (paraphrasing) "sorry we thought we picked it out" treatment.
To all MOMs reading this, this is NOT how mold should be handled. Mold generates spores and those spores transfer VERY easily airborne, so if a bag has mold, especially to the point where you can see it and pick it out, the WHOLE bag is compromised and should not be sold to consumers, nor made into edibles, nor pressed into rosin, nor blasted into shatter. It's contaminated, it should be destroyed and you should get a refund from the grower/distributor who provided it to you.
I'm sorry to any and all user who read this review and bought from this MOM. I simply cannot stand behind that kind of behavior from a MOM.**

MOM Name Pacific Cannabis
Overall rating out of 10: 9/10
Sign Up: Not sure, was offered samples through PM, didn't register on the site.
Ordering & Pricing: Didn't chose anything, they sent me a sample pack. Pricing is on the cheap side, their top strains are 200/oz with lots of options in the 130ish range.
Communication: Very good. I did ask of them not to send a huge selection of strains but they sent 7 anyway, no biggie. I'm not complaining cause everything is nice
Packaging: Vacuum bag with plastic branded bags inside, most buds were in very good shape for the type of packaging. All of this was inside a bubble mailer. No complaints!
Products / Photos:
Pineapple Express: Literally the stickiest buds I've had from a MOM ever, almost didn't risk putting it in my grinder for fear of locking it forever. That strain usually is a mild one terp-wise but this was the heaviest smelling Pineapple Express I've had. Smoke is smooth, buzz is strong, terps are delicious and strong until the very end of the joint. I didn't check the price before smoking this and when I saw it's 130$/oz I could not believe it. This beats most MOM quads I've had without much effort. 9/10.
Death Bubba: Very nice looking buds with dark hues all over, pretty caked too. I haven't really had Death Bubba before but I did get many Bubba crosses as well as bubba og. Pepper/savory is what dominates the smell. I'm not a huge fan of that kind of smell profile, but it's definitely quality bud. It's on the dry side, breaking apart the bud or busting it up in the grinder did not yield much more nose, but its still pretty terpy. Smoking it, it's fairly smooth, it's got the pepper/savory taste coming through well, very slight harshness that's easily forgivable when the buzz hits you in the face. Good stuff but not my cup of tea. Giving this a 8/10. This is one of their 200$ strains.
Nebula: This is one of their top strains (200$ oz) and while it has an interesting aroma, there's a sharp bitterness that comes through the smoke. It's not super strong, but it builds up as you smoke the joint and lingers after smoking it. It is however a heavy knocker and I did notice that high THC strains tend to exhibit that kind of bitterness. IMHO this is alright but a bit overrated, I'd take their Pineapple over this in a heartbeat. 7.5/10.
Rockstar: First time smoking that strain, was always told it had a pine/skunk profile and I definitely did not get this in the nose nor smoke. This is one of their 200$ options. The smell was kind of generic, nothing really standing out but still nice. The smoke was terpy, but I didn't really enjoy the terp profile on this one. There's a very slight harshness that comes through the smoke, nothing big, but noticeable. 7/10.
Purple Kush: Very nice berry/gas nose but not excessively strong. Nice colors on the bud. The smoke on this was very smooth and like all purples, the buzz wasn't very strong but still competent. For 120$/oz this is definitely more than fair. 7.5/10.
Shishkaberry: 120$ oz. Looks nothing special, got 2 tiny buds. Smell is faint but nice, same with the smoke, not much taste but it's very smooth to smoke. Not bad at all for the price. 7.5/10.
Sour Tangie: First time having Sour Tangie, reminded me a lot of Tangerine Cookies both in nose and taste. This smells and taste like fermenting orange rinds, real terpy and nice. It's a sativa leaning hybrid but it has a strong hybrid buzz that crashes into a heavy sleepy down when it wears off. Prob not the best daytime sativa because of this, but very well rounded strain, I like it a lot. 8.5/10

Notes: Overall, I'm very impressed by the products I received. Funny enough, it seems their lower priced strains is really where they shine, rather than their more expensive ones which is very unusual in my experience. I would definitely recommend trying them if you're into cheap OZ that both pack a punch and show some terp character.
