update
So me and my buddy both received our packages. we're no pros but we both heavily inspected what we received and couldn't find anything resembling mold or rot. I've read posts about how they use zip lock bags but this wasn't the case for either one of us. Everything was in a big vacuum sealed package which contained other sealed packages of whatever you ordered.
Ashes burn white and puffs are smooth. You could say it's lacking in flavour but for the price i really have no complaints

421. Why is "ID leak" listed in the screw-up log?xsinx wrote: Mon Aug 27, 2018 12:15 pm The reason you are seeing lots of positive reviews is in part because they offer a 40$ coupon to anyone posting a positive review. A lot of members here and on the Discord got moldy weed from them (not just one strain, several of them). Others got good stuff, it really seems to be hit and miss. That said the sheer amount of moldy packages that were received prompted us to blacklist them, it's just bad business.
I would not be worried about getting the package, everyone got their stuff so far... It's just the quality is all over the place. I strongly advise looking up the weed very carefully before smoking it.. If it looks clean then it's up to you whether you want to smoke it or not. There are serious health risks to smoking mold, so it's a gamble.
2. I don't think the $40 review coupon applies to this forum.
3. Is it against the rules to create a review thread here for a MOM if they're on the blacklist?

431. It was discovered that their website's folder where the IDs of customers were stored was public. They did fix it promptly when told about it. I do not personally have more details about that specific incident.urnapple wrote: Thu Aug 30, 2018 3:45 pm 1. Why is "ID leak" listed in the screw-up log?

3. I'd have to check with the admins but I do know most reviews (including mine which wasn't positive) were taken down so I would assume they are not welcomed. There isn't much point to it anyway, any positive review is potentially biased because of the incentive.
Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
44I did look which is the very reason I included that point. They specifically only mention reddit and weedmaps. I just emailed them to find out and am waiting for a reply. I want to know what the answer actually is, not assumptions. If no incentive the only point for not allowing reviews is just an FU, which is fine but honestly I'd just like to know. If you know for sure they do provide coupons for here an anecdote would be far more helpful than a link that sort of disproves the narrative.xsinx wrote: Thu Aug 30, 2018 3:58 pm1.

Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
45"We are offering those who promote us with a unbiased review on Reddit Forums like CanadianMOMs and MOMPics a $40 Coupon Code"
This is what I see on the link I provided.... They changed it from "positive review" recently apparently.
The main reason they are on the blacklist is the very high amount of people who received moldy weed from them in the span of less than a week. This has kept happening after they were informed of the situation.
They are like the book definition of a bad MOM, this community here was created to help members find quality medication, identify what's good and what's not.
The shear amount of bad weed they sent is injustifiable. No way the guys packing these bags saw nothing.

Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
46I understand all of that but please let's not dance around what I am trying to ask. I want to know about the $40. Only the $40. Your quote literally says Reddit. This IS NOT Reddit. Please, man.xsinx wrote: Thu Aug 30, 2018 5:03 pm "We are offering those who promote us with a unbiased review on Reddit Forums like CanadianMOMs and MOMPics a $40 Coupon Code"

Plus, a positive experience is a positive experience. You can't really change that. People learn and evolve.
Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
47Yeah I see what you mean, wasn't trying to avoid the question. Totally misread that, the word "forum" somehow made me put a comma there, assumed it was reddit and forums. Sorry for the confusion.
Either way, it just makes every single positive review dubious so I see little to no value in them. Given the amount of fuck ups and the fact they are now blacklisted, I feel any good or even passable review left on here would go against our goal, as previously stated. IMHO reviews of them on reddit are already doing that, wish they'd clean them up there as well.
This is a significant health risk, I urge everyone to consider that before trying to defend them. We have a case of a Discord user that was hospitalized shortly after smoking their stuff. Unclear if it was directly related but it was respiratory issues. Make what you will of it.

Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
48Thank you for your input and carrying on the discussion. I pretty much agree with everything and I don't blame admin for not wanting bad product being promoted on the site. I know others have given you (who is not admin) a lot of shit about knocking these guys and I wasn't trying to do that. Sometimes I can be obsessive about separating each detail, especially since I'm considering using them again based on my personal experience. I appreciate the community and what it does to help make the process less daunting and newbie friendly.xsinx wrote: Thu Aug 30, 2018 5:19 pm Yeah I see what you mean, wasn't trying to avoid the question.

Please let me be clear I wasn't trying to defend them in the least. I really couldn't give 2 shits about this business or any other business on Earth for that matter. I like facts. My experience was great and that is a fact, not a defense. There's too much speculation in the hospital story for me. There 100% is no defense for some of the issues that have popped up with other orders.
I can at least accept a review ban if the main reason is them being blacklisted, I just couldn't stand the $40 incentive being a reason if there isn't even an incentive.
I'll leave this alone now lol.
Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
49No worries, wasn't implying you were defending them and since this topic has been pretty active lately, my reply wasn't just to you but to everyone reading this.
Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
50Just wanted to pop in real quick and say they DO also offer the review incentive on canadianmom.info. Just got my reply.

A bit of moldy bud just means you know its not covered in fungicide and god knows what else. How the mom makes it up to you is whats important. I hope to see these back on here as I don't think they are out to scam or hurt anyone. Mold happens when dealing with large amounts of bud no mom can be expected to break every bud open and check. People would complain about busted open buds then I'm sure lol.WestCoastCannabis wrote: Mon Aug 27, 2018 1:17 pm They deserved to get banned for that, are they doing anything for the customers that got moldy stuff?
I completely agree with that, it's how the MoM's respond and handle the situation is what's important to the customers.
Good on them
Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
54Exactly! Moldy happens it's just mother nature at work. Now if you can see that the buds are rotten and moldy without breaking them open then that's a whole another story.WestCoastCannabis wrote: Fri Aug 31, 2018 1:13 amButch8081 wrote: Mon Aug 27, 2018 1:45 pmThe one I seen that I know talked to them about it said they gave him 300 credit to replace it when he only spent half that or so in the first place.

Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
55Hey farmingbaked, the process of making shatter/rosin most def does not filter out the mold...nor does turning it into edibles...unfortunately it's garbage!
Re: Did i get scammed by Canna Wholesalers?
56just think... its coming from pounds that have bud rot.. so its all contaminated, whether you can tell or not. this is an unregulated market that you have to be careful of, friend.The Chronic Toker wrote: Thu Aug 30, 2018 3:23 pm update
