Don't get me wrong, I didn't have any problems with the staff what so ever. They wanted to help.

That particular jar was what I had a problem with. It wasn't Strawberry Cough!

AHC, Alternative Healing Center, North of Durango a couple miles, has decent smelling gear. They've got 4g 1/8ths for $22. I picked up some Red Headed Stranger that smelled pretty good but only smoked ok. Smoke was slightly bland. My bro picked up Skywalker OG & it was a better choice. Smelled ok but was smoother and had a better high, for me.

The one guy behind the counter, late 40s to late 50s, was fun to chat with. He had pretty good experience with the products they were selling so it made it easier to make a semi informed choice.

I was laughing my ass off when we left.

Man I wish more shoppers were like you. I havent seen real SC in 3 years. I bet those buds you smelled were orange tinted. Some shop is selling strawberry themed "enhancers" now along with the grape and lemon nonsense. Turns the buds orange. Coffee shops and dab lounges are having to ban 'fruit themed weed' because literally all of it you run across is rando booboo soaked in "terp juice". The last SC I smelled was exactly like the last one i purchased. Tastes worse than it smells. You can taste the eagle 20 they are trying to mask too. 4 dispensary flavors I've seen the most: Neem, milk, unflushed, and adulterant aka "sweetener" from the snake oil shop.

I dont like being singled out in a room of moronic fanboys so i rarely say something, but I know I can't hide my wtf face. Feel sorry for budtenders sometimes, try not to bring the drama but damn, sometimes it's necessary. This fake shit is everywhere. Smells nothing like weed. Makes you puke. Gives headache. Wrecks breathing.

Dispensaries sell artificialy scented bud by the ton. They all do it. I've seen at least one perfumed strain on every shelf. The vape don't lie. Legal weed is proliferating this type of crap. An entire scam industry aka the hydroponic shop. Flavored pesticides, essential oil infusion cabinets... And everyone's playing dumb about it. Unnatural weed is useless by all means.

Happens a lot more than you'd think. Some shops don't train their personnel as the bottom line is sell, sell, sell. Recall in SO CO during flu season...bud tender used same gloved hand (rather than tongs) to reach in the jar, put the bud on the scales, wiped the scales with the gloved hand, then wiped her nose, took the $20's I gave her and counted out change without removing the glove. That was early on in the rec game in CO. That was enough for me to not ever return. Then, when I read on the dispensary bottle the chemicals used, I shook my head in disgust. I will grow my own (organically with NO pesticides, enhancers) until I die.

I also was curious of the quality in swco. Last time in Co was for phishdix '13. It was my only time in a rec disp. Nothing like a med disp back home. More like a pipeshop with weed. No extract wse! The quality and potency was sad sad sad face emoji!
My peeps with skills will be way tf up north and too far away.

Has anyone flown in with their stash to Co. I know Co makes a point of keeping it in state but California doesn't seem to give a shit nemor.....
