Made it into Green Dragon today, haven't been in since my birthday on the 18th when I got some nice sour d and silver surfer but my first taste of def star cake batter was enough for me to despise the new cake batter concentrates appearing on the menu lately. I was really disappointed with the def star from last visit and was really hoping that the cake batters were a fluke but seems from talking to the guys today that the maker prefers making it like this and it's probably going to keep coming out that way. I was happier to see the prices dropped to what they should be and only 1-2 cake batter selections so maybe the assumptions and worries of it sticking around are wrong. I was a bit concened when I was told the cake batter was preferred. In argument I couldn't get any reasons and they agreed with all my reasons to the quality being better in he past so I hope we can figure out the communication issue here and get who ever is making our medicine to listen to the patients concenrns if its just a matter of preference, I prefer my medicine to taste good and complete but the quality has nothing to do with preference.
Guys were cool as always, easy going, laid-back, Taylor hooked me up with a bomb bud recommendation - platinum og. Was shown black mamba at first but when I asked for something a bit more fuely he brought out the platinum og. The difference in smell was precisely what I asked for, the mamba was kind of sweeter smelling where as the plat had much more of a fuely stank with still a tad of sweetness, more lemony sweet then a berry or sugary sweet. I also snagged a half g of killer og wax but again there was lots of new stuff and I was talking way too much to pay much attention to the others, looked along the same lines though so that was good. If you get a chance just take a whiff of the cake batter and something that's dry and dehydrated and ignoring the smell try and tell the difference in the potency or power of the smells. The cake batter could just be water contamination, too much heat, different materials used, not sure but it's not good and it's not better. Hope we never see it again after what remains falls off the shelves.
Platinum og - it's always nice to experience the difference of flavors and highes between clean quality concentrates and clean quality flowers. Unfortunately I stick to concentrates because things like mold and improper flushes cures and grows make me paranoid and agitated and are sometimes hard to avoid, especially when you're not an expert at what it is you are dealing with. I wasen't sure what I was going to find wax wise today so I went in today intending to buy flowers but picked my wax first. When my budtender asked me if i wanted anything else instead of saying no I said yes and asked for a recommendation of the best. Taylor was right on with his second recommendation for what I asked for. Fuely smell flavor and crisp aftertaste on this one. Buds are all sorts of shapes and sizes, typical chunkily stacked buds with resist orange hairs all covered in a frosting of trichomes. not very stemmy or leafy, some natural sugary leafiness left on but fan leaves seemed well taken care of. High was noticeable after one small snap, my headache from the DMV slowly resided and I got warm behind the eyes and in about 5 mins I was slowly findng myself more and more relaxed. Effect stayed on pretty heavy until I could refill the bowl with a larger snap. Packing the 2nd snap I really noticed how sticky it was and how vibrant the colors were from the light green at the base to the dark green tips. I noticed it even more so when I sparked the bowl and watched it almost ignite up like it had hash on it and then burned at a nice pace to a white ash. Full rich flavors fill my lungs and within moments after exhale my eyes drop, get get heavy and an amazing relaxing feeling over came me immediately. Fades to a creeping buzz, after taste is so fuely fresh and fills your mouth and lungs and lingers for ever. So stumped at why I could pay $50 an 1/8th for this seemingly perfectly grown flushed cured manicured and cared for bud when most places charge 60$+ and in no way shape or form provide me with all of what I mentioned I recieved here at green dragon today.
Killer og wax - ok so as if some extremely fresh and potent nugg wasen't enough to make me forget all the horrible sites and experiences had at the lovely DMV today I snagged a half g of the killer og. Got hooked up fat with .7 on my HALF g which is so appreciated. Looks dry and crumbly with a light tan color and a white tan on one side of the chunk. Smells mildly of the fuely piney lemony scent I like, smelled nothing like previous killer og waxes though, much sweeter and chocolaty hashy. Burns smooth and rather instantaneously, tastes clean and rich of full piney fuely sweet flavor with more piney than sweet. Exhale is smooth with a medium sized expansion that infiltrates and tingles the nostrils. High is heavy but functional and clears the mind and relaxes the body. One small dab of this quality concentrate probably equals 4 or 5 large bong loads when it comes to how long a high lasts and how potent a high is. By my 2nd dab I feel like I've smoked a fat blunt to my dome. So efficient, so effective. Highs are alot less lethargic with wax compared to flower IMO. Strain matters but when you take a functional indica Dom og wax and functional indica Dom flower and compare them I still get a lethargic/ burnt out feeling I'd get with almost any bud. Just something I've noticed comparing this killer wax to the platinum bud.
What a refreshing visit. Great to see some dehydrated goodness back on those shelves and cracking like they should be. Hope to see that cake batter off them forever one day. Totally stoked about the platinum being so amazing for someone whos so picky about thier flowers. I didn't just enjoy it or feel satisfied, I freaking loved it and was able to get stoned on pure raw ganja which is hard to do with these waxy lungs and concentrated tolerance! Peace and dabs to all, even the haters, if your looking for a time to head to the dragon, they look heavily equipped for the army of patients that head here from all over!
