Given a choice, would you buy milled product or not?

[PeaceTrees]

After looking at a few producer websites, I noticed a few are milling their product before shipping it out. I was wondering whether there was anyone out there that actually preferred having their product pre-ground up? I would imagine most people would just want well-trimmed and cured buds.

In other words, all else equal if a producer was offering milled product, would you buy from them if it was a quality product to begin with or switch to another provider regardless?

As a patient I would take sugar leaf trip if the price was right and the terpenes are well perserved. I wouldn`t want shake that has been mishandled or bud that has been mishandled so that the delicate terpenes were destroyed. There have been buds out there released in this program that have been lacking terpenes(no smell at all). Terpenes are important and are often lost during excessive handling such as milling and machine trimming. How will we know that the terpenes are present in the product that is for sale?

Sounds like a cunning way to get more money for inferior product. Just like the bho craze, got 50lbs of mediocre outdoor, turn it in to bho and make more money.

I wouldn't buy anything preground, seeing is believing.

I feel bad for you canadians, this program they have going up their sounds like a piece of crap.

 

[growshopfrank]

as a patient with a fair bit of tolerance built up from consumption of the herb no

if i were new to the herb the added consistency of a homogenized ground product would hold some appeal

that being said you are a newbie only once...

sounds like a cunning way to free market analysis

if market research is the plan someones marketing team should be canned

believe it or not existing growers are not the target audience for LP's
just judging by the folks that have approached me the ones that understand cultivation aren't so good at marketing and the ones that are good at sales don't know shit about the plant

I'll take the stance I imagine is counter to most here and say I don't have any particular resistance to sampling an irradiated strain. It's not an appeal, but I don't see it as a huge drawback, personally. Someone would have to convince me it's particularly negative, but the issue there is that there are basically no studies done on how it effects cannabis in particular. So there aren't studies showing it to be safe, or bad. I've seen a few studies that show it effects terpines in other plants/foods that also exist in cannabis, but as far as I am aware, there are no studies on how it effects cannabis, for better or worse.

As far as milling goes, I'm sure it damages the medicine, but I'm not sure I would care much. Then again, I am not a particularly refined medical patient who can necessarily notice small changes in things like terpene levels, etc.

well, if they are going to grind it up and radiate it, might as well just grow from seed, keep the males in there , quick dry and brick it like the cartels do.

or you could just take a pill...

When it smells like Hay..... The terpenes are gone... No need to be refined for that one.

Maybe the whole point is to dissuade people from using herbal cannabis and like the poster above said use the thc pills instead.

I think really potent and increasingly more powerful marijuana scares governments. From what I understand about the Canadian program it seems like they are trying to reign in control, and lower the quality and potency of the products people use. Almost like a state run shwag factory and if you are not happy with the low grade crap that's provided don't use MJ.

If they'll "mill" your products whose to say they won't mix different strains together, so you never actually know what you are getting

You guys had it made up there, what the hell happened.

 

[med-man]

hey hiding

to add isult to injury, extracts are very illegal, unless you are in b.c., which could change soon.

so i guess the posters here arent familiar with canadian mmj laws. so no thc pills are not an option at all, unfortunately.

in my shoes, i see it as a growers issue, not a treat the symptom issue. creating optimal conditions will generate optimal results

if you hire a guy that grew panzies for 30 years and is a self titled master marijuana grower, then that is a company malfunction that needs sorting, and the buyers shouldnt be stuck with the bill, in any way shape or form

Yeah I understand that issue entirely. Taking a look at emerging MMJ states in the US, it's hard to come out of the closet so to speak and source a job in the industry because the corporate owners think they want someone with horticultrual degrees and flower nursery experience. You can't really put on a resume you've been growing herb illegally for a decade lol. Just like everything else, so much emphasis is put on paper degrees and real world experience is looked at as not as good.

People think herb is the easy to grow but I know people who can grow tomatoes but can't grow herb to save their life, and I know guys that can grow the best herb but can't grow a tomato for shit. The consumer pays the price, I think the best products come from the dedication and genuine love for the plant, when money, control and greed become the biggest motivator all we all lose.

 

[med-man]

very well put hiding

i am one of a few companies that doesnt hide that its seeds nutes systems and methods are all for mj/mmj. if i was scared i would never be where i was. and if the gov't wants to shake down my non for profit i get international media coverage and lose nothing as i own nothing. i pray every morning someone comes to shake me down.

when people fear loss, people cling, and when people cling, they suffer, and suffocate everyone and anyone they come into contact with. its funny how many doors actually open when we chose to close the door on fear. i am very excited about going head to head against a.n. when i launch my nutes for retail this summer ;-) sinking that ship is a#1 priority of mine lol

BTW, are you Peace Naturals, 'peace trees'? You started this topic here and at rollitup. You hoping you can do this to your product?

 

[med-man]

if thats the case tom

i am looking forward to seeing them on the battlefiled

[leaffan]

It would be cool to have a side by side evaluation done.
In pile A, nice cured buds
In pile B, irradiated and milled from the same buds in pile A.

Take photos, smell, taste, effect...side by side. I would like to see that.

Peace already has a ready to roll line up so that makes sense for sure.

Pre-Rolls will be huge. I just cant see milled being popular, the terps are to volatile.
