QUOTES:
 
Bubba Kush - $240
Truckee, CALIFORNIA
“The grower here in Truckee providing these danks uses straight organics. The proof is in the pudding when you put the flame to these nugs. They taste like no other. Primo for sure.”
 
Mazar - $350
Baton Rouge, LOUISIANA
“Strong cerebral high with uplifting undertones. Extremely fluffy buds that are extra sticky. Great medical strain for joint pains.”
 
Purple Microdot Acid - $15/Tab
Berkley, MASSACHUSETTS
“Probably the best psychedelic experience of my life. These tabs were shipped over from California and bring out the strongest, longest lasting trip. More bang for your buck.”
 
Jack Herer - $400
Northampton, MASSACHUSETTS
“Anyone who’s toked him knows he means business and anyone who’s grown him knows the patience is well worth it. Juicy, and drenched in trichomes, Jack makes for a head-hammering high that seems to never end.”
