I want to remind everyone that it's important to write reviews and keep the forums alive. Do not be afraid to review. Scoundrels need to be called out, and the heroes need to be praised for their professionalism, bravery, and nobility in providing these much-needed services.
Ok I'll get off my proverbial soapbox now.
Some of these are older reviews I had sitting on deck for my periodic MULTI-VENDOR reviews from the now-defunct Alpha Bay, but, personally, I've decided to move over to Hansa market for now. They seem cool, the multi-sig is dope, and if only they could handle the deluge of AB refugees, we'd all be a lot better off... but alas.

[Vendor Review] - GreenLeafLabs
Decided to do a little bit of strain reviewing, mostly intered in comparing three of the newer strains that have come along recently. I decided to source my product though one of my favorite cannabis product vendors: GreenLeafLabs.
- GreenLeafLabs on Hansa -
hansamkt2rr6nfg3.onion/vendor/GreenLeafLabs/
The reason I chose GreenLeafLabs for this go-round is to attempt to minimize the number of variables present. Meaning to say: all three strains are procured through the same source/distribution, greatly increasing the chances that the quality level will be consistent among the samples.
The three strains I'm reviewing are:
- ChemDawg
- Fire OG
- Skywalker OG
From their About section
"GreenLeafLabs provides the best, organically grown, medical-grade, chemist-tested, marijuana that you can get. Oregon has a well-deserved reputation for having the best marijuana strains and growing practices in the world. We get our product from a number of small, experienced organic growers. Since all of our growers also sell to medical dispensaries, our product is always tested for potency and contaminents before it goes to market. You can't get quality like this from large operators; it's like getting food from your local Farmer's Market versus getting it from Walmart. Try us out, you won't be disappointed!
"GreenLeafLabs also provides the best, medical-grade, chemist-extracted, marijuana concentrates that you can get. Oregon has a well-deserved reputation for being on the cutting edge of marijuana concentrate production. We get our product directly from the chemists that extract it. Since our chemists also sell to medical dispensaries, our product is as potent (in terms of THC %), and as free from contaminents, as you can find anywhere."
Below is their "Weed Grading Scale". I have mixed feelings on this, but it's pretty commonplace, so nonetheless, here it is:
"Grade B+ = Low Cost for your budget, decent weed that won't burn a hole in your wallet. Grade A+ = Mid Quality, High end Outdoor usually the best band for your buck. Grade AA+ = High Quality Medical Grade, Pungent smell and taste very potent high THC content. Grade AAA+ = Top Shelf Supreme Indoor, Hydroponic Fire, Bright Green Sticky Icky, of the Highest THC Content"
The Strains
Now it's time for the strains themeselves. Some of this data comes from www.leafly.com. Please be certain to check that site/service out, guys; from what I can tell, it's a standup source of good, legitimate date on cannabis strains. The rest of this data is personal observation and review, and all of the pictures were taken by Yrs Trly.
ChemDawg
ChemDawg is a known motherfucker, and this batch was no exception. It's very heady and very stoning. Your mouth will be completely parched, so you definitely want to keep drinks on hand for this high. It's not a couchlock, which I mostly prefer, though somewhat I've grown fond of some of the Afghanistan-based indicas lately.
ChemDawg is a straight up sativa, and you can tell. GreenLeafLabs did a great job curing these bad boys, with many of the nugs coming from some beutiful colas. Definitely something to fire up for inspiration.
I will say however... I don't love the name, "ChemDawg". Sounds like a reject from Cypress Hill, lol.

Fire OG
The FireOG I found to be a really well balanaced and hearty hybrid bud, indica dominant. It's true in line with other OGs in its qualitative effects, but unlike other indica-dominant hybrids, I didn't feel like this one led to lethargy. Instead, it was a good headspace for an indica. Something good for the evening time, not something I necessarily wanted to rip at the beginning of the day.
I found its effects to be best at night time, right before dinner especially. To me, this was a definte bud to be toked right before a delicious meal.
The terpenes on it where beautiful and intact under the microscope. It's telling that GLL is a more-than competant operation. Your uncle bob knows a thing or two about growing, and the variety of strains they produce is impressive in that in show mastery of several distinct growing methods.

Skywalker OG
Ok now the Skywalker was definitely my favorite of the three I tested out, and this surprised me. Once again, I was sort of expecting a ho-hum OG strain, particularly given that the Fire OG scrambled my egg brains. But this Skywalker was ... to paint a picture ... Kirk Gibson hitting the game-winning homerun in the bottom of the 9th inning, bases loaded, in the 1988 World Series.

[Vendor Review] - MajorKey
MajorKey: http://hansamkt2rr6nfg3.onion/vendor/majorkey/
$49.77 -- 1g of Crystal Meth
Postage: priority USPS - 4 days - USD 0.00
Major Key's meth comes through in the clutch. I was really happy with the 1g that I ordered. Shipping time was standard, but the turn-around was really fast. I definitely recommend checking out this professional operation's shop on Hansa. So far, so good; multi-sig makes sense once you get the hang of it, just follow the established directions to the letter and you'll figure it out too. Mainly, you have to verify that you have a Bitcoin address that a refund can go to should the need arise. How dope is that?
But back to the gear. For 1g, I was surprised that it came mostly as one big shard (plus a few extra little guys in there). Didn't hit any noticeable chunks of nasty-ass cut, so either I got lucky or these guys have that fire shardonnay! I'll place another order with them soon and report back to let you know.
[Vendor Review] - 21SAVAGECREW
$76.00 -- .5 METH (BUY 2 GET 1 FREE)
21SAVAGECREW -- No link yet on Hansa
Postage: FLATE RATE - 5 days - USD 8.00
This is a no-bullshit BOGO deal, $8 shipping but the weight was very generous. However, I have to say, there's a reason it's so cheap. This stuff had spells that were good gear, but then crumbly chunks that were obviously cut to hell. Oh well, if you're looking to get a good chunk of meff, here ya go, hard to beat that deal once you crunch the numbers (or is it?)
[Vendor Review] - TheEmeraldTriangle
$57.00 - 1x 500mgPremium THC vape cartridge (made from 90% THC shatter)
TheEmeraldTriangle - No link yet on Hansa
Postage: USPS Priority mail SHIPPING - 6 days - USD 3.50
A+ No bullshit these are the best cartridges I've ever vaped. No choke/cough whatsoever. Definitely recommended.
Please upvote for visibility, guys. Hansa is a very sensible choice that averts many of the problems that once again stung countless DMNers.
