I've had Green Dragon Collective on my 'to-go-to' list for a while now but for some reason I've managed to hit up almost every collective in that general area BUT Green Dragon up until today. Green Dragon Collective is located on Van Nuy's and I forgot the cross street but its after Sherman Way and there's a 7 eleven on the street in front of the plaza that Green Dragon Collective is tucked away in. Very easy to find and plenty of parking. Upon entering we were asked to give our documents and fill out theirs. This process took about 5-10 mins like usual and we were buzzed through to the flower room.
I was on a concentrate mission this weekend and I had a feeling from Green Dragons menu at home that I wasn't going to be let down and when I got there and saw the selection for myself I was overjoyed. Anthony was our budtender and he was a great deal of help as we approached him with lots of questions and asked for plenty of recommendations which in both cases you can get some really snobby budtenders. There's 2 display cases 1 for flowers and 1 for concentrates. They had a fridge packed with delicious looking edibles if thats your game but I didn't find out to much info on that other than the truffles are dank. They had a very impressive looking selection of clones of some really dank strains. The flower selection was huge and everything looked amazing. The concentrates I was in absolute heaven with. Ear wax's for 30 a gram and wax for 20 half/40 a gram - what a bargain and precisely how it should be. There was water hash also that all looked like full melts to me but I was told they aren't ALL full melts but thats not my game so I didn't ask anymore about that. The selection was HUGE, I went ahead and got 7 different half grams out of a very large selection not sure how much exactly there was way too many to choose from, and thats absolutely not a complaint or a bad thing!!!!! We each got a free $15 gram for being first time patients which was great because I for sure wanted to check out the quality of their flowers as well. We went ahead with the Purple Urkle and Barak-o-bubba thanks to Anthony for the suggestions.
All of the concentrates looked very clean and the selection is to kill for, what more could I have asked for other than when I get home that they are clean because with concentrates you really sometimes don't know till it hits the titanium. Everything was extremely clean, and extremely potent just as anticipated. I think Green Dragon Collective will be seeing a lot of me, everything is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to return. The prices are extremely compassionate and beyond fair considering this is also some of the best stuff I've seen. Check out Green Dragon Collective 818 / LA Dabbers and anyone else looking for a great concentrate hookup. You won't be disappointed.
Boba Fet Wax - A deep dark beige with a light beige tint color with a lovely honeycombed out textured. Fairly dry texture and somewhat of a crumble but extremely stable. Smells something like mildly spicy yet sweet chocolate to me. Burns extremely smooth with a somewhat sweet flavorful taste. Gives me that concentrate burn that usually I only get with the really potent stuff that feels like something is pulling on my lungs trying to make me cough. High was mind numbing, started in the back of my eyes and worked its way through my body.
Captain America Wax - Dark tan with a slight golden tint to its color with a moist and waxy texture. Fairly wet but once you meddle with it it kinda stiffens up more than it already is. Its wet but its very stable and easy to work with. Deep OG smells on this one. I think there may have been a blow out on this one or something, there was quite a few hairs and bits of leaf in this and it kinda had a greenish hue as well. It bubbled up a bit on the nail more than any of the others and gave a bit of splash that the others didn't. It didn't taste bad though, kinda planty and hashy and it was fairly harsh with a big lung pull. Very potent - very very potent with a high that comes on almost immediately and packs a mean punch mostly hitting you in the head / face.
Silver Surfer Wax - Deep dark beige color with a slight bit of a golden honey color and a stiff 'budder' like texture. Not wet or dry, kind of in between. Somewhat of a grainy texture to it too. Sweet OG scents on this one. Burns nice with a strong hashy flavor. High has somewhat of a delay and slowly it started to get harder and harder to keep my eyes open with a roaring head high and tingling body high. Somewhat cerebral I'd even say.
Dank OG Wax - Light tan 'budder' like texture. Not wet or dry, kind of in between. Somewhat of a grainy texture to it too. Mild OG scents on this one. Very light flavor on this on with a nice smooth bubbly burn. High comes on fast and works efficiently and effectively. Really heavy in the head and behind the eyes.
OG Kush Wax - Dark beige color with a hint of a honey like tint to it and a wet waxy texture until meddled with and then its fairly grainy. Sweet chocolate OG scents on this one. Burns nice with a smooth bubble and a nice strong flavorful smoke. High gradually gets to a nice roaring head high with a warm and fuzzy body high. Actually it felt like the first time I was high and my feet used to get all tingly, I haven't felt that in a long time, years, and it was awesome. It could have been the fact that I'd just had 4 other wax's but this was just great.
Honey Wax - Dark and light tan in color with a fairly grainy 'budder' like texture. A very sweet smell on this one. Smooth burn with a very nice full tasty flavorful smoke. Very smooth on exhale as well. High is very mild and relaxing all over. Taste was may favorite thing on this one and the burn, very clean and smooth burn.
Chem D Wax - Lightest in color by far, a sem-dark beige with a white/tan tint to it and an extremely lovely honeycombed out texture that I absolutely love. Somewhat a of a dry crumble with extremely powerful potent to the nostrils scents. Burns extremely smooth and leaves absolutely no ash behind and tastes just as smooth as it burns. High is heavy and heady right off the bat but slowly eased into a warm and tingly body high.
Barak-o-bubba - Very light greens with even lighter greens from underneath the buds. Nice fat nugs with a very mild scent thats hard to pinpoint. Covered with orange hairs and littered with trichomes. Burns straight to a white ash and clean milky smoke that packs an extremely rich full and flavorful punch to the taste buds. High is heavy indica but I didn't feel the usual couch lock effects but instead it was nice and body numbing and mind soothing.
Purple Urkle - Anthony recommended this one first and sold us on it just on the smell alone. Extremely dense nug with a great trim job. It has both deep purple and deep greens through out the entire nug with lots of bright orange hairs and covered with trichomes from bud to leaf. The smell is extremely sweet and deep like grape kool aid invading my nostrils. When I broke this nug up the complete inside of the nug was drenched with trichomes and it let off a reek of that deep sweet scent. Burns straight to clean white ash and smooth white milky smoke that tastes just as sweet as it smells and exhales very smooth. High is very indica dominant with somewhat of a delay / creeper effect effecting both body and mind.
I really felt like this was my best overall experience at any collective or dispensary yet. I was able to get supreme quality medication at the fairest donation cost from a very clean and well kept establishment that was easy to find and serviced by extremely helpful and compassionate fellow patients. I can't wait to go back but it may take me a while to finish all of these meds first and I can't believe I only paid $120. Happy dabbing all, I know I am!
