*Disclaimer - This review is of some free samples provided by Supherbs. As always, my reviews are unbiased, and I treat this as if it was an actual purchase.

MOM Name
Supherbs

Overall rating out of 10: 7

Sign Up:
Standard MOM sign up. No ID required.

Ordering & Pricing:
Never placed an order, but pricing looks standard

Communication:
Supherbs were on the CanadianMOM forums looking for members to try some of their flower and write reviews. After a couple PMs and emails, they sent out the sample package. All communication was quick and polite.


Packaging:
Based in Alberta, it reached me on the east coast in 3 days. Everything arrived safe in a big white shipping box, tightly taped on all seams. The box was a bit oversized for the contents, but I definitely prefer boxes to just bubble mailers. Opening the box, I was greeted with a very nice, professional display. Supherbs sticker on the inside lid, and all products wrapped nicely in green tissue paper. A couple stickers, Raw tips and a Supherbs lighter were also included, which was a really nice surprise. The flower samples were each in green, heat sealed mylar bags with matching printed labels on each bag. The bags themselves even had a silky, premium feel. Zero smell in the box. No vac seal, but I feel this is no longer an issue if moms are using proper, heat sealed mylar bags.

50/50 hybrid, Rated AAAA, Priced at $220 - all flower currently on sale for $160 oz

Nice dense 2.5g bud. A little leafy, but the few green and purple sugar leaves are coated in trichomes. Nose wasn't too strong, but had a subtle sweet, berry smell. Crispy on the outside, still a little moisture left inside the bud. This was the driest of the samples provided. The taste when smoking fell a little flat, with just a little of that sweetness on exhale. The smoke was a tiny bit harsh, potentially from the extra leaves. Unfortunately I found this to burn poorly, leaving a dark, almost black ash. The buzz hit pretty quick, a creeping cerebral confusion and a relaxing body buzz. I found the sativa side of this hybrid to be very short lived, developing quickly into more body focused effects. The overall buzz was short lived. I would say it is probably a bad flush on this batch.


Pineapple Express

60% Sativa, Rated AAA, Priced at $180 - all flower currently on sale for $160 oz

Nice looking bud, purple and green leaves with lots of orange hairs poking through. Again, this sample was a little leafy, but colorful and crystally at least. The bud itself was nicely cured, dense with a bit of spring. Very terpy and sticky, with a strong sweet, fruity nose. Opening the bud released even more smells and showed a very nice cure internally. Chopping it up, this bud was super sticky, with a near perfect moisture level. Slightly harsh with a full bodied smoke, thick in the lungs, with a sweet, fuity taste. Smoked beautifully, with a white / light gray ash. Effects hit fairly quickly, with a long lasting high. The buzz was energetic and creative, lovely afternoon smoke. Really enjoyed this sample, and that is from someone who generally doesn't like fruity strains at all.

65% Indica, Rated AAAA, Priced at $220 - All flower currently on sale for $160 oz

Nice dark buds. All samples I received from Supherbs have been a little leafy, but with colorful leaves covered in trichomes. This sample was a little dry, but I try and be forgiving as 1g samples in baggies tend to try out pretty fast. Slightly harsh, full bodied smoke. I got a spicy / lemon smell from this stuff, which changed to a grassy, creamy taste with hints of coffee and vanilla when smoked. Disappointed to find that this stuff also burned poorly and left pretty dark ashes. This hit pretty hard, with a raised heart rate and warm waves radiating through my body. Good euphoric high, with some cerebral cloudiness. Possibly a bad flush on this also, but otherwise it was very enjoyable.

420 sale still on. All flower is priced at $160oz, 25% off everything else. They also offer a referral bonus and a reward program.

In my opinion the PE was the best of the samples... it's flavorful and the effects are on point. I think they must've given everyone the same samples. :D Your thoughts are quite similar to mine actually, still working on the finishing touches but my review should go up soon.

I got my sample pack Friday and got the same 3 strains. Didn't smoke any of them yet but first impressions is that they are all pretty dry and don't have much nose. Pineapple Express does smell the most promising!

Will review later this week, still working on my KT and TGA stuff. Big week ahead lol, got a small mountain of new stuff from 420.

email the mom and ask them directly for samples in return for an honest review.
Sad that is always the same group of people on here getting together and getting the free samples from the moms feels like it's monopolized.
Look forward to seeing a review from you sometime my lord.

Hang around for a few months, post some reviews, cold call MoMs you see offering packs and show your reviews, and you'll get in on it too. No malicious monopoly is intended, everyone here is happy to see new reviewers showing up and diversifying the writing going on here! It's a small community so you see the same names writing reviews because we're the people who are active here, but it's growing.

Back in November I decided I wanted to get free weed, so I purchased from a new MoM (King Tut) and made a review on here. I think I managed to score my first package within a few weeks of joining the site. Be polite, show what you can do, be persistent. If you stick around on the site eventually you'll get a chance to get some free weed two, for the both of you.

Options to ask might include Pacific, Lava Flowers, or Buy My Weed Online, they've all done packages for me in the page, I think SH was just looking for a few to get the verification rather than reviews of a diverse smattering of products and writers. You might also pick a MoM with an affiliate program like Speedgreens or King Tuts, and suggest their products with your link to your weed-using friends, family, and acquaintances, resulting in free weed points that way.

Looking forward to seeing reviews from you guys sometime.

Don't do that.
I'm sure moms have enough to deal with besides getting tons of emails from people begging for free shit.
If a mom wants reviews, they will ask openly or message you privately.
If you were more active in this community, you would see that supherbs made a public post asking for reviewers. Sorry if we created a "monopoly" by using the forum and trying to be active here.
I posted at least 6 or 7 reviews within the past couple months alone, all paid orders besides 2 that were free samples. Both times the mom asked publicly.
Maybe if you guys bought some weed and spent some time reviewing it and posting for nothing but to better the community, something good might happen to you.

You have 4 posts in your entire history, and all of them are bitching about not getting free weed here and never buying from a mom that gives out free samples.

It's not really like that. First off, bugging MOMs for samples is not a good way to go about it, most will react negatively to this, I bet half the emails they get on a daily basis are freeloaders trying to get free stuff. Only time I ever asked for samples were when buying stuff just so I could get a wider evaluation of a new MOM I'm trying and honestly, most of the time they completely ignore those requests so I've only really had such samples twice (off the top of my head).

Once you start doing reviews, MOM will contact you and offer them. It's just how it is, I did not expect this when I started doing reviews, I just wanted to share me enthusiasm with other community members and pretty much as soon as I started making reviews, I started getting private messages from MOMs offering stuff to get reviewed. MOMs need reviews to get "upgraded" to trusted status and they also need some traction to get known so sending samples is common practice. They'll often just find out who's actively reviewing stuff in this section and DM them directly. Instead of complaining, be one such reviewer and you'll get offers too.

In the case of Supherbs, they offered. Every single member on here could have answered their call and I don't think they handpicked who got them, they just sent samples to the X first people who replied.

It's true, almost all of the reviews I've done have been because the MoM asked me to do it/I applied via a request for reviews, or I did a purchase and sent the review I did to the MoM and later they asked me to review another product...

Anyway, the point is, we all started by posting a review of a paid order and participating on the forum actively so we'd notice if things like threads requesting reviews popped up, and that started the ball rolling from there. :)
