Title explains itself. I'd like to find a vendor that can sell shake for a good price but that can also be smoked.
GreenLeafLabs seems to have a solid listing but a recent review makes me a little weary. Can anybody vouch for his stuff or just talk about shake/trim in the DNMs in general?
I've purchased trim from GLL twice -- once when it first went up and then I just got another order last week.
The first order was astounding for the price. What I got was mostly shake and while it wasn't super pretty, it smelled dank as fuck and it was remarkably potent. I gave a smallish (~.6g) joint of it to a very experienced stoner who runs a smoke shop nearby and even he just thought it was the normal decent grade weed that sells for $12/g locally. When I told him the actual cost he didn't believe me.
The most recent order is not on the same level as that, but it is still a good buy for $40/oz. This batch looks much different as it is almost all leaf trim rather than bud shake. It doesn't have as many trichromes and it smells rather like hay, but it actually isn't a totally unpleasant smoke if you're a broke bastard like me.
Honestly I was a little disappointed when I first opened the most recent pack, but that's only because I was comparing it to the outrageous quality of the first order. When I remind myself that this is still only $40/oz and a 1 gram joint is enough to get me nice and mellow for a couple hours it is absolutely worth the purchase price, but if you expect the same things that the early reviews were talking about you might be disappointed. This is a batch that you probably won't share proudly with your friends, but if you just want to kick back and smoke a joint or two while you watch the sunset or whatever it is just fine.
That said, I am still kicking myself for not making a larger order on that first trim batch. Considering it came out to around $1.50/g that stuff was straight fire. The most recent stuff is most definitely not that, but it should keep me nice and stoned for at least a week, and I don't know many other ways to do that for $40.
And at risk of sounding shilly, I'll also just say that in my dealings GLL has been a standup vendor and generally great to do business with. Don't lose sight of the fact that you're ordering weed for $40/oz and you won't be disappointed, but if you expect to get the same stuff everyone else has been raving about you might be.
