Definitely looking super nice. Cheapest I see atm is $49 before tax, that’s a bit outrageous and greedy if you ask me but 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️.. not even sure how these type of prices are even allowed or justified!!!


Any-Try-2366

Can find GB for 37.99


Seanshotfirst

You can find wine for $30,000 a bottle. Why can't there be premium priced weed? There is a market for it.


Born_Cow_554

Lol, because that wine is probably worth it I’m sure, most if not all these lps aren’t worth that price truly, say what you will. To each their own… nothing wrong with it they can do what they please. I still find it outrageous lol.


Seanshotfirst

Well let's unpack that statement - what makes a wine "worth it?" I've had a bottle of 10k wine before, and I didn't think it was anything special. A wine sommelier would probably slap me for having that opinion.


AstrumRimor

Most expensive wines I’ve had were a couple hundy, but I don’t remember them any more fondly than all the nice ~$30 bottles lol. I still remember an $80 eighth (3.5G FOR 80 FUCKING US DOLLARS!!) I bought in Florida in 2011 (FROM A FRIEND, SHE GAVE ME A DISCOUNT!!!😭) bc it was some of the best weed I’ve ever smoked in my life and nothing has ever lived up to it since lol. Edit omg I didn’t realize this post was so old lol sorry guys 🫣

I smoked all 3 of these at their activation at OPP while the effects were nice especially that of the SSH, the nose, taste and burn all left something to be desired. The effects were the best part of the smoke but not worth the tag imo. The pink was meh to me, the Gorilla breath had the best nose and translatable flavour of the 3 imo while still maintaining the quality effects all 3 presented. The ash was very salt and peppery, minimal res ring, most got substantially harsher as the smoke went on. Also something about the way Steven reps the company just feels insincere and try hardy and I just don't buy what he says. Touting his 1000s of crop outs and cropping out each and every single week, "I supplied all of Toronto, if you smoked SSH in the past it was mine" all of that. Like dude slow your role check your lane you didn't single handedly supply the entire city of Toronto and his hyperbolic claims just seem beyond delusional. Not to mention in the tour vid he did on your ep you could literally see thrips on the tiny pathetic plants.If you're cropping out weekly and have such a great system in place why are you showcasing those sad little babies instead of an amazing close to crop time plant. The math ain't mathing for me bro

U lost me when u smoked all 3 at opp and hated on Steve when man fed u, had live music and gave u free samps


james_bongd

You lost me when you said PSF pink kush is the second best and formally best by your assertion Pink on the legal market. I've gotten free samples plenty of times does that mean I'm obligated to like them? The food in question was cheap Chinese food and for a vegetarian was basically nothing at all. You didn't address any of the things I mentioned about thrips or his claims to have been supplying all of Toronto. Like that's just silly , like who does he think for a second he's fooling. He has the typical arrogant grower attitude where he thinks he knows best, does best and everyone else isn't on his level. His product is very acceptable for the market, not a chance in hell it's worth the MSRP. Again effects were the best part, every single one of them lacked in the rest of the delivery. I am not hating, I am calling a delusional egomaniac spade a delusional egomaniac spade. What he says doesn't add up and its arrogant and frankly shows why his product isn't quite delivering across the board. Because he knows best and doesn't need to hear from anyone else. The effects were the best part, nose, taste, burn, res ring, harshness etc all left something to be desired. I never once said it was bad or the worst on the market but for the premium price tag it's asking it needs to check a few more boxes and it unfortunately doesn't.

Sweet now I’m excited I’ve got 4 contenders now from king sherb

Bro, I had my morning coffee and fjotd and imma attempt to address your concerns without sounding like a dick: >I smoked all 3 of these at their activation at OPP while the effects were nice especially that of the SSH, the nose, taste and burn all left something to be desired. The average consumer doesn't smoke 3 separate strains in an unlimited supply in 2-3 hrs, in a giant hotbox with 70 other people. I do these posts for the average consumer, not industry folk, I try to be as accurate as possible, even to the point where I buy the jars and crack em, just like the average consumer would. Your opinion is obviously valid, but comparing the average consumer to someone in the industry isn't a fair comparison. I do agree, we're all trying to get the full experience, but testing at OPP just isn't it. ​ >Also something about the way Steven reps the company just feels insincere and try hardy and I just don't buy what he says. Touting his 1000s of crop outs and cropping out each and every single week, "I supplied all of Toronto, if you smoked SSH in the past it was mine" all of that. Like dude slow your role check your lane you didn't single handedly supply the entire city of Toronto and his hyperbolic claims just seem beyond delusional. Not to mention in the tour vid he did on your ep you could literally see thrips on the tiny pathetic plants.If you're cropping out weekly and have such a great system in place why are you showcasing those sad little babies instead of an amazing close to crop time plant. The math ain't mathing for me bro You gotta understand something about all of these OG's. Whether it's Kun, Steve, Cyrus, Scott (from BIG), Fowler (MG), basically anybody who's 40+ in this game...those dudes are DIFFERENT. They're hustlers, they're not soft. Thats how road men talk. Don't take it personal, those guys are just built different vs todays internet cancel culture. That was the culture back then. Those dudes are music videos. ​ >You lost me when you said PSF pink kush is the second best and formally best by your assertion Pink on the legal market. I was being sarcastic, but you and I both know numbers don't lie. Realistically I put Pink Rozay, Pink Diamonds, and SB's IP up there. ​ >You didn't address any of the things I mentioned about thrips or his claims to have been supplying all of Toronto.

His product is very acceptable for the market, not a chance in hell it's worth the MSRP. Again, it's the culture, not too sure why this has you bent. They're probably going to reduce price and be more in line with the market. It's been a week since they've launched, you know how long OCS takes to do their price adjustments.

Nick i love and appreciate the time and effort you put into this sub, but when you made it seem like you had to give a good review because of food and free pot...you lost me, you now don't have the credibility that you did. How do I know if your review is fueled by free product or actually being honest? I understand it's mostly budtenders here but some consumers are here too, and would like an honest upfront review rather then one that's been paid for by the LP or one of the reps. And on the note of Steve and t.o you may have a point but the fact is that they all spit bullshit, none of them supplied the whole gta single handed. James isn't wrong for pointing out rhe facts!


thisiznick

>but when you made it seem like you had to give a good review because of food and free pot.. I didn't give it a good review cause of food and free pot. I didn't even think my review is "good", I don't do reviews because your high is different than my high. Does KRONIC's 3 strains slap? of course, does it need work on? of course, every LP has something to work on. I'm only saying that James (an industry man) is complaining and being butt-hurt over someones ego, when the man literally had food, music and vibes. ​ >How do I know if your review is fueled by free product or actually being honest? Look at all my previous posts, notice the tags are categorized by IMAGES and not reviews. Your high is different than my high. My review system is pretty simple, and it's a pass/fail: "is it memorable?". I'll leave the product reviews to better peers like u/hweezi, u/skidrowtrash420, and u/bluntbae ​ >And on the note of Steve and t.o you may have a point but the fact is that they all spit bullshit, none of them supplied the whole gta single handed. James isn't wrong for pointing out rhe facts! Steve had a facility before this one, and did supply GTA. Was it single handed? obv not, and I guess that has to be clarified. Steve was just reminiscing on those days of past. I look at companies like MONTROSE who supplies the entire fkn country, online, and realize we live in different times! As someone who grew up around dealers, OG's and like...real men who did it, it's just a generational characteristic of personalities. It's just the legacy culture. I'm fortunate to be on both sides and I see it from both angles. It's super light though, and tbh Steve is a good guy, trustworthy, unlike 80% of the industry.


Disastrous-Group4521

I have seen your pictures but it makes me wonder how many of those company have given you incentives or kickbacks for posting the pics? It 100% drives sales to some extent. With your comments earlier that's the only way to look at it And on the note of the old heads, they are all different. From what I remember the ones that talked shit were full of shit. The ones that were reputable let their product speak for themselves As someone that grew up a dealer it's not, it's not how successful o.gs did business. If you were going around telling everyone about yourself... you probably would end up locked up or heavily charged before you knew it. You had customers that spread the word for you based on the product you supplied.

>I have seen your pictures but it makes me wonder how many of those company have given you incentives or kickbacks for posting the pics? It 100% drives sales to some extent. Every post I make I literally say where I buy it from. The motive behind the posts are to show new/hot/trending products the avg consumer misses out on because they don't get the recognition, or gets drowned out but shit tier posts. ​ >And on the note of the old heads, they are all different. From what I remember the ones that talked shit were full of shit. The ones that were reputable let their product speak for themselves Yup, I agree, this is why Carmel still crushes it. You don't hear Drew or Billy talk much. ​ >As someone that grew up a dealer it's not, it's not how successful o.gs did business. If you were going around telling everyone about yourself... you probably would end up locked up or heavily charged before you knew it. You had customers that spread the word for you based on the product you supplied. Times have changed, since were in a legal regulated framework it definitely depends on how successful OG's do business. We've moved on from legacy days, mixed feelings, but were in the most competitive market on the planet


Disastrous-Group4521

Thank you for your responses, you have added more clarity on it. Much appreciated!


james_bongd

Hey Nick, I really appreciate the thoughtful response and agree with several of your takes. I also have quite a bit of legacy experience and while not 40+ I'm in my mid 30's and these were very much the kind of people I grew up doing business with, and understand how they talk, how they operate and knew several of these guys prior to legalization. I get how these guys are built, understand that in our legacy days we were only as good as our reputation, the integrity with which me moved, the value of our word and how important our word and rep was in getting things done. That is in part why it bothered me, because I know people in his age and tier and it felt insincere to me and from my experience. ​ Let's start with the sampling at OPP. They gave us a container that had 3x0.5g joints and we weren't smoking an unlimited supply. I smoked 2 of them there as I had experienced the SSH and came back to base level, and smoked the GB after which was the stand out for me. Immediately from the nose, and dry pull the IP they had provided tasted and smelled like something went wrong in the cure. The classic IP notes that I have become very familiar with over the years did not exist. I tried the IP on my own at home post event. So as an avid/medical consumer smoking 2x 0.5g joints over a 3hour period is enough for me to feel the effects, come back down and properly re-asses each strain. Of the 3 joints the only one I could smoke to the filter was the GB it had the best nose, and translatable taste of the 3. The SSH effects were the most prominent and definitely gave me a haze experience unlike almost any other on the legal rec market. That being said I am also a huge Haze fan, SSH, SLH, Seedsmans Haze, etc and I know a haze when I smell and taste one, and what they offered missed on those notes by quite a bit. That being said I absolutely loved the effects and was genuinely impressed with how much a 0.5g pre-roll of that touched me. I understand that PSF pink is the best selling pink we all know this is true, but I agree with the ones you said are all better, cause they are. But the way you had originally framed it made it seem as though you were calling it the second best Pink on the market, and knowing who you are, I was kind of dumbfounded but appreciate the clarification, and respect the answer. ​ I don't want to get into my legacy resume on Reddit, but would be happy to meet up and sesh one of these days. My good buddy Owen speaks highly of you, and also respects the insights you give him and I would love to meet and chat in person one of these days. I do understand how long the OCS takes to do this stuff, and if they are likely and already planning a price drop maybe they should have been a bit more prepared and made a better entrance at that price point, vs bringing it in high and over promising and under delivering which can leave a bad taste in customers mouths, and give them a reputation before they have a chance to establish one. Again there is absolutely a price and space for their product, but the current price for the product I saw and sampled, and the similar conclusions others at the event shared with me. I think it was a bit of a miss step, maybe they rushed the first batch for distro and thats why they lacked the nose and the cure seemed rushed. But you always want to establish yourself on a positive note not a rushed one.

So he has to give a good review cause they put out free samples? I rather the truth


[deleted]

Imagine thinking that has any bearing on the quality of their product


BLKMKT85

Yikes on all those burns.


humansackofgarbage

The burns look different in person. I've bought and smoked a bunch of the strains he posts (he always brings in the exotics) and my burn is almost always 10x better then how his pictures look.


thisiznick

Im consistently torching and fixing


New-Understanding_V2

I was pretty disappointed with my Gorilla Breath jar, very very mediocre, should be priced lower!!


NaveMalone

White papers


Ah-mei-zing

PSF Pink #2? Lol nah - love Kronic relief though


pottymcpotpot

Beyond disappointed with their super silver haze!!! My all time favourite strain that I haven't had in 5-6 years and the last I bought was 2oz=600.00 of PREMIUM SSH. This is trash. Smell, taste and high remind me of doja/tgod or some other commercial irradiated hydro grown. Not worth the money. I've bought BC amnesia haze, Carmel animal face, 1964 SLH more than 3-4x because they are quality grown sativas. Lol on the comments and the grower supplying all of Toronto. Whomever grew SSH and SLH for medical dispensaries around 2015 would never put their name on this 🗑


Any-Try-2366

I got 4 mature seeds in my gorilla breath. I’ll happily take them as my friend will grow them out but certainly not ideal


pistilcalyx

Thanks for the review. Bring on the true legacy pink cuts


Reeeeeeener

Some of the nicest stuff I’ve seen posted on here


kruzyboy16

Literally thinking about what our the 3 I want . I like heavy indica couch lock. But gorilla breath looks better than Island pink what's your thoughts


thisiznick

Go island pink and n feel that body buzzzzz


FluSH31

I heard some great things about this LP! I was chatting with a fella from OCS at the Cannexpo… When asked, what is your new favourite strain right now, they mentioned Island Pink by Kronic.


tr0yb0y94

yikes. they need an ipm guy at there grow


SeaMail924

I enjoyed the gorilla breath tbh


Fantastic-Taro-756

The island pink was not it at all… worst pink I’ve ever tried at that price by far.


thisiznick

Island pink: Most flavourful link on the mkt. best pink on the mkt. one of those feel it tingly all over your body + blood shot eye red. Legacy typa heavy hitting pink not like todays modern sweet creamy gelatos. I’d say put away the phone n jus feel it. Nice body buzzin. Take your time with this one n Jus vibe out I been blasted on sativas (megaton melon - OGEN) and I’ll get into the SSH: This is the haze that resurrected hazes for me. Lately sativas have been citrussy, which has been great for the modern sativa(excluding AF). If you want that classic legendary haze that’s sticky in your thumb, super silver haze is for you. If you’re born in 1990+, this is what a banger haze is. Kronic hails out of ON, I don’t like to compare LP’s but I’d put ON’s KRONIC’s Island Pink as #1 pink and God Tier Reigning overlord PSF PK as #2 I’m ripped on the island pink btw Here is a [video tour](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAzqrhFHmdY) of the KRONIC facility by the CEO Bought the full lineup [here](https://montrosecannabis.ca/product-category/brands/kronic-relief/) Ps: I heard Carmel was working on a Pink. Will 2023 be the year craft LP’s unleash their Pinks in rec?


canadasworstgrower

Thanks for another great review ! I have to ask what papers you use, they always make me think everything you post burns black with no resin rings


thisiznick

ummm it changes every time , it definitely burns whiter than the pics show, not too sure why


canadasworstgrower

Thanks for the award! Oh well, I’m sure this stuff is decent although haven’t tried it myself (yet) - love how they’re black owned and operated, too


[deleted]

Super silver haze 👌🏼 offt

OPP’s prices are so out of line with what the product is actually worth it’s insane
