[Vendor Review] [Evo] ColoradoCanabis, BudsNRoses, Republic, & ZeltasGarden

Hey Everybody! I am new to Dark Net Markets, and decided to get back into smoking marijuana as well. I used to do it regularly in High School and College, but my life took some crazy turns that forced me to quit for a good while. Now that things have taken a turn for the better, I decided it was high time (ha!) that I got back into the swing of things. Plus my wife had never smoked out before, and she was pretty eager to try it herself. So after much research and a ton of help from /r/DarkNetMarkets and /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs, I proceeded to place some orders. I hope that I am able to offer a bit of hope to any other newbie on the fence about ordering to go ahead and take the plunge. You can do it! :)

Note on Stealth Rating: My wife orders shit like CRAZY from Amazon. We get packages from all over the globe, so I was not too concerned about how the package looked on the outside (handwritten address label, postage, origin, etc). The review is weighted more on the side of how well the actual product was packed to not allow smell to escape.


ColoradoCanabis - EVO Market: 1/8 oz. Grab Bag Marijuana USD 35.00 Shipping: Free

Communication: N/A Shipping Speed: 5/5 Stealth: 5/5 Received Weight: 3.5g Product: 5/5

This purchase was the one to break my Dark Net Market purchase cherry! My heart was totally pounding when I was checking out. That in itself was a pretty good high ;) In the description, there was a list of strains available to choose from. At the time of when the order was placed, only Mother of Blueberry, Skywalker/OG, and Afghan Three were available. In my order message, I requested Mother of Blueberry. The word fruity in the description appealed to my wife. The other thing that appealed to her was that this was a Grab Bag SALE. Always the shopper that one...sheesh! This was definitely as much her first order as it was mine. Anyway this order was placed on a Saturday, and by Sunday it had been marked shipped! The order was then received at my mailbox that Wednesday! The package looked like something that was ordered through a third party Amazon vendor. Very discrete, professional, and nothing about it was out of the ordinary. The most important part, of course, was no smell could be detected. When the package was opened, there was a vacuum bag containing the container to protect the product. When that was opened, I still could not detect any smell. I then proceeded to open the protective item, and there was another vacuum sealed bag. Still no smell could be detected, in that second vacuum sealed bag was a baggie with the weed. After opening the vacuum bag, I could finally smell the weed reeking through the baggie! It was very strong! Mostly a sweet smell with a bit of skunk laced through the sweet. Even though I had requested the Mother of Blueberry, what I received was the Skywalker OG. Looked like I was too late on getting my order in for Blueberry. But oh well. It was a grab bag sale of leftover items so no biggie. The product itself weighed in as advertised (3.5g), and was compressed due to the vacuum packing. The buds were dry, but were still pretty sticky. They also were brown with green interlaced. Lots of hairs present, but overall not pretty to look at as advertised by the vendor. After my wife got home (and I gave her a lesson on how to use a bong) the smoking commenced! Overall the taste was earthy, with a bit of fruity flavor weaved in to the smoke. The first hit was very nice and smooth. It felt good to smoke again after so many years, and this was a great intro back in to smoking! On top of it all, this was a total ugly duckling! Once the lighter hit that ugly duckling, it turned into a beautiful swan! After the second hit, my wife said I was just planted on the couch. I could not move or talk at all. And the whole time that I can remember, I was amazed this was the 'leftovers' as was described in the product description. It was not pretty to look at, but good lord it rocked my head. My Wife's too. She had the massive giggles, and had a great time busting her Marijuana cherry! Overall, I am one impressed customer. I cannot WAIT to try more batches and strains from ColoradoCanabis! I will be a repeat customer for sure!

BudsNRoses - EVO Market: 7g Big Bubba Diesel USD 80.00 Shipping: Free

Communication: 5/5 Shipping Speed: 5/5 Stealth: 5/5 Received Weight: 7.2g Product: 5/5

So did I mention I was a newb at this whole Dark Net Market thing? Yeah let this be a lesson to you new folks: Keep Your Vendor PGP Keys straight! During the order process, I used a different vendor's PGP key to encode my shipping details. D'oh! I think because this was my biggest purchase out of the bunch, I was a bit nervous. But BudsNRoses was patient with me, and I was able to get it all sorted out. Of course this delayed my order from being shipped out a bit. This order was placed on a Saturday, but it was not shipped out until Tuesday. So if you need your product fast, make sure you use the right vendor PGP key! Even with the bit of a rough start, I still received my order on Saturday. So huzzah! The package had no smell detectable on the outside, and looked like a normal mail-order item. Inside was a vacuum sealed bag, with another vacuum sealed bag holding a baggie with the product in the baggie. Upon breaking the seal of the second vacuum bag, did the smell of the weed hit my nose. It was earthy and smooth on the nose. The buds themselves were a brilliant green with red hairs and frosty crystals throughout. Truly the buds were a thing of beauty. And even though they were a bit compressed, they were not too bad. Also, then vendor slightly over-packed, and we ended up receiving 7.2g total :) After grinding the first bud, my wife and I had our first hit. The taste was very piney and earthy. The smoke itself was smooth, and easy with the bong. And within five minutes of the first hit, we were floating on air. We were not stuck to the couch, but rather just really chill. This type of high was really what my Wife was imagining when she first asked me about smoking marijuana. So this quickly became her favorite, and she took many more hits. We chilled the rest of the day, and eventually after about 6 hours or so we sobered up with no lingering hangover effects. This by far was the best in regards to being able to smoke and remain somewhat functioning. Will definitely be back. Awesome vendor, and awesome product.

Republic - EVO Market: .7g Joint - Hybrid Strain - Pre-roll USD 9.95ea Shipping: USD 5.95

Communication: 5/5 Shipping Speed: 5/5 Stealth: 4/5 Received Weight: 0.7g ea Product: 4/5

Whenever I smoked weed, I ALWAYS sucked at rolling joints. I would either make them too skinny, or I would not close the tip right, or they would fall apart while being smoked. Sooooo frustrating. I saw these pre-rolled joints and thought, "why not?". Plus I saw that Republic had a good rep on /r/DarkNetMarkets. If the stuff is good, then I could always order some buds to grind and smoke in my bong. So I jumped on this one and got three joints. One for me, one for my wife, and one to give to the inevitable dope fiend who just "happens" to be lurking around the corner (yeah...that guy!). This particular order was placed early on a Monday, and by the afternoon it was marked as shipped. Furthermore, the vendor Republic would update the vendor notes in my order to show estimated arrival dates and when it was shown to be shipped. So kuddos to the communication and the fast order processing as the package also arrived on the Friday of the same week! We received three joints total (per my order), and the packing stealth was decent. Looked normal and average, but of most import of course was no smell could be detected from the outside. The joints themselves were inside two vacuum sealed packages, and then inside individual crush-proof tubes. Each joint was about .8g. However, after smoking the first joint, the tobacco filter weighed in at .1g. So right on money for the product itself. As for the smoke itself, it was ok. My Wife was not impressed after the first few puffs, and she pointed out that it smelled like tobacco was mixed in with the weed. I tried some, and I tasted tobacco as well. So it looks like these were more blunts than straight up weed. That was ok, but would have been nice to know in the product description. Eventually my wife and I finished the first joint, and we eventually had a steady buzz. These are more like concert or party joints. Not enough to make you couch-wasted, but enough to pass around and share in order to get the party started.

Edit: Upon request of Republic, we pulled apart another pre-rolled joint. My wife and I could not find any tobacco, so we then put about half of the weed that we pulled out into the bong last night. This time no "tobacco" taste could be found. After hitting the Bong, we then fired up the remainder of the joint and the "taste" was there. What her and I surmise if the paper and the filter of the joint make us feel like we are smoking cigarettes, so subconsciously we must be picking up on the paper and filter and thinking "tobacco". So no, to Republic's awesome response to my review, these are not blunts and I apologize for not further checking. Also, it is great to see a vendor go to great lengths to ensure that their customers are happy. Once again, we will be repeat customers!

zeltasgarden - EVO Market: 1g Banana Kush Top Shelf USD 15.00 Shipping: USD 6.00

Communication: N/A Shipping Speed: 5/5 Stealth: 4/5 Received Weight: 1.2g Product: 4/5

This was another purchase made via recommendations read on /r/DarkNetMarkets. Plus I figured if this was truly top shelf, then I would be in for a real treat! Also the name: Banana Kush. That just sounds yummy (damn you marketing!). Again this order was placed on a Saturday, and was received on Friday. So great on the shipping. As for the package, it too looked like a normal mail-order package that would not necessitate second looks. The marijuana was inside only one vacuum sealed bag. There was no smell outside the vacuum sealed bag, but all the other vendors used two vacuum sealed bags as a precaution. But other than that, no complaints on the packaging and stealth. The buds themselves were super compressed. They were almost cube-like in appearance. As for the color of the buds, all I could really make out was the light green. But when ground, you could see the reds mixed in with the green. The smell was more skunky than the others, but not super strong. As for the smoke itself, it was smooth, earthy and fruity through the bong. It took two bong hits to finally feel the effects, so not as strong as the Skywalker OG and the Big Bubba Diesel. Overall though, a steady smoke. Will definitely try the other strains offered by ZeltasGarden.

Hello Everyone,

My joints are made from 100% pure ground bud (White Widow) as stated in the description. I welcome any one of my many customers to open one up, and examine. You will not find a single trace of tobacco. I can personally guarantee this, because I make them myself - from growing, to grinding, to rolling, to packaging.

Reaper_Madness,

If I could humbly ask you to update your review. (I know you and your wife shared one joint, but feel free to examine the remaining two joints you have). Inaccurate claims do great harm to my reputation and livelihood. Thank you very much in advance. Cheers!

I had one of the republic pre-rolls a few weeks ago and didn't notice any tobacki taste. I had just come off a long tolerance break though so I was just high outta my mind. It was definitely the fanciest joint i've ever smoked lol
