Please get the fuck off of the silk road. The high school kids don't know that you didn't flush your "dank" of harmful nutrients. They just see the crystals and call it 'bag appeal.'
The term medical has no standard definition and it's being dangerously overused. There are sick people seeking medicine that their government deems illegal. You don't get to call your shit medical because everyone in your school likes it. Infuriating. I'm getting really tired of this botched indoor. Please leave it to the professionals because it's literally a science. Literally. The people who do it right spent years perfecting this, growing dozens and dozens of clones just to pick the best mother. A good way to spot the real top-level professional vendors? They're only selling one or two strains and they don't change. The more strains the vendor offers, the more likely that person is just a dealer concerned with profit.
Fellow users, be critical:
* Does the bud burn to a bright white ash? This is a really good way to judge the chemical composition of the plant. The grower shouldn't have left any fertilizers in the product. If they have, then it might burn black or off-gray. Bright white is best.
* Does the weed have an "off" scent? After a while you can identify what the typical overfed plant smells like.
* What is chemical burn? Fucking look it up and know how to identify it.
* Does the plant spark when you light it? Throw that shit away NOW.
Sorry to come off as rude. I've wasted so much money -- this stuff saturates the silk road. Help me get business to the right people. Stop making 5/5 the default. Judge the vendors compared to each other and don't stick to just one. This community is what we make it.

I absolutely agree but I think we could be more supportive. If people are capable of offering genuine criticism that will help people improve their grow.
I use the term medical grade but trust me, I know my shit, just ask

You're right... not all of my anger should be directed at the growers.
I definitely take it personally when it comes to profit vs. health (see: American healthcare). I should give the offending vendors the benefit of the doubt, but it just seems like nobody is calling them out. Everybody deems 5/5 the default score, and as a result it's impossible to separate the good from the bad. Another warning sign for other users, anyone vendor that gives out tons of cheap samples to pad their reviews.

Not condemning of and in itself, but part of a trend I've noticed. You sound like an awesome vendor, DoctorNoname. PM me when you go international.

Thanks, I would love to but unfortunately there is an awful lot of demand in the UK which is currently biting my arm off. Everyone in Britain loves concentrates and that means I have to make an awful lot more to make them happy.
Also being a pretty serious grower I don't know if it is possible for me to be within 6 feet of something and not have a couple of particles fall onto a package, I am super careful at vac sealing but I don't know if I could pass a sniffer.
It's hard being a one man cannabis factory

Well, when I finally order a clone I'll tip you for your expertise.

Feel free to ask any questions whenever you need, I should just be a PM away, the only thing I'm not an 'expert' on is outdoor growing but I know enough about it to point people in the right direction

Decent post, I will say that agree that the term medical is thrown around loosely. You honestly cannot verify medical grade smoke without labs to accompany it, which I get but cannot post due to the fact it could be traced back.. which suuuucks. It would be nice if feedback stuck around longer and didn't damage vendors too much for downgrades, but lies are lies and should be called out when found so fuck it. Some vendors can have multiple strains though ;) Simply because of grower coops that exist now there is so much more availability in some states neverbefore seen!
Profit motive does indeed ruin so many industries, some one's got to bite the bullet and report back though. It's the only way!
