Nice. Was it your first transaction? Looking at buying from him too for my first transaction, do you think you can post some pics? Have you tried his girl scout cookies or any other of his strains?

Okay I will admit I'm kinda a grammar nazi, but when a weed dealer misspells "cannabis" in his own username... ???

It was my first transaction. I volunteered to FE, just to avoid making him feel like it was a gamble to ship to me. You have to for a first order, don't you? It seemed right, so I FE'd.
I can not post pics because I smoked it all. The Purple Berry Kush has a lot of purple, and it's a nice balanced high. The Bullrider OG Kush was even better, I think. The bud has a lot of coloring, plenty of crystals. It's beautiful bud (or at least really fine looking) - sorry I don't have pics. The Blue Chocolate Thai X Green Crack is really sticky, and has some cool coloring as well. The buds had really potent, excellent smell, all of the strains. They burn nice and clean, and tasty. Maybe a little harsh, but it's potent weed, and I just smoke from a pipe.
The Blowfish X UK Cheese just knocked me out. I was going to bed at 8 p.m. when I was on that.
I spent big with my first order just to try the different strains, and it was a great experience.
Regarding the negative comments - I can only go on my experience, and it was very, very good. Plus, it looks like the disgruntled are a pretty small minority.
Regarding the misspelling, presumably he was medicating with his own product when he chose that, a testament to his wares.
My second order was with NorCalChronic, some mid-grade, and it came exactly as described. He's another good vendor. I didn't FE, having a purchase history of one order!
I'm onto my third now, with Trader Joes's, and I am going for the Girl Scout Cookies. CC has had some of these as well, and said he has some new GSCs coming in soon. He charges a premium for them because he can get it (maybe $330/oz). Trader Joe's has these at a little better price point ($290/oz), and he also has good reviews regarding the quality of his stuff, although Trader Joe's isn't always on SR 24 - 7, so the processing with him might not be as fast.
With CC, I got my stuff right away - like ordering on a Sunday and getting the package on Wednesday. With NorCalChronic, I ordered Sunday and got it Thursday. NorCalChronic has variety beyond the top-price medical grade, and I would also encourage people to try his stuff based on my limited experience. (There are two other popular vendors (at least) that start with "NorCal." NorCalChronic is the one who includes a free joint, and his listed price includes priority shipping, so he has some features that stand out, even if his name might not.)

When you look at the feedback from the vendor in his review thread:
Notice that all the accounts giving good to average reviews or support are new or less than 4-6 months old.
Notice that all the accounts giving negative reviews are from trusted forum members and a few forum certified reviewers.
Draw your own conclusions.
My opinion:
I stay away from drama. This isn't myspace. It's up for debate as to what's really going on with the seller.
I think I did notice that trend, and I get that he didn't immediately come up to par with everyone's favorite vendors in all aspects. For new buyers, though, the option to work with a vendor who has great product and who's willing to customize orders with multiple strains is a great option. Plus there's the whole experimental vibe he's got going on with his strains that's a lot of fun. I had zero drama dealing with CC, and I imagine that some of the things that riled the old guard are things that he'll learn from and improve.
For new buyers, having someone like CC who answers messages and ships really quickly is key.
Having said all that, I'd love to hear more from experienced buyer's about other vendors to try - not so much for the most super dank hall of fame, but for really good value in purchases of half and ounce or an ounce. Tips on shopping / buying strategies for new, cash-strapped buyers for personal consumption is exactly what I'm in the market for, and exactly what I'm trying to share, to the degree I can.
My purchase from CC, 4 q's for about $320 with shipping was a reasonable value. Buying four q's of medical grade outside of this kind of promotion would have cost me more like $100/q from most vendors I've found.

He may answer SR messages quickly, but he's obviously got no interest whatsoever in dealing with people's complaints and concerns in the review thread, as there are several things that are still unanswered.
Experimental strains may be fun - but because they're experiments and there's not the experience of growing it for years and years, this means the quality of the batch cannot be guaranteed.
At the prices being charged, I don't want to run the risk of having seeds in the bud, or an experimental strain that may not be up to my standards! There are other US vendors charging standardised pricing for several strains, of top shelf medical bud, for cheaper prices.

That might be fair, but at the same time, some of the product, like the Purple Berry Kush and the Bullrider OG Kush, is delicious.
