I got it in Seattle at a recreational store. It was branded, dated and sealed. If it wasn't the legit stuff, then I don't know what else it would be. It was the highest priced bud in the store and everyone was raving. I had no reason to think it was going to be anything other than great. But, what a disappointment it was. It was as dry as a bone and turned into powder when broken up. Was it old? Nope. At the time, it was a fresh batch. Man, I'd hate to see an old batch.
I'd be here telling everyone how good it was...IF it had gone that way. But, like I say....embarrassingly bad.
I guess it's all relative to the type of people the brand is pandering to. We all know who they are. But, as far as I'm concerned, it's The Emperor's New Clothes story told in a slightly different way. It's their game. They price their stuff higher than anything else and then back up their hype via some lame rap.....and people believe it -not because it's true, but because they don't know any better. The message about how good it is is for them.
