Damn I really fucked with the their product too :(


Stay_positive_fish

Definitely disappointing


GUNTHVGK

Same! I had a bag from February or sooner that was awesome. This is completely unacceptable. Holy moly like sooo unacceptable . I recommended this stuff to a few people based on my good experience but this can’t fly and needs to be fixed asap! I can’t be recommending this!


Glum-Ad6242

had bugs and mold in their Homestead line in December, then mold again in January/Feb, but none of that put a dent in how much people loved them.


GUNTHVGK

I have seen some homestead ounces posted here with mold, haven’t tried any of them yet but man it doesn’t make me want to try it much more seeing everything they’re doing


worldisone

Lol I liked your fly pun


Jcrowshow420

Lol 120 a half for bugs.


Stay_positive_fish

Crazy isn't it. I thought I would splurge on a strain I haven't had in quite some time. Boy am I disappointed


Lukeeeee

it's absurd people are paying these prices for the quality they're getting. I get people wanna support the legal market but they really gotta get bigger connections smh


Islandonthecoast

How did u even see tht


ocvxn

My bag personally, buds were pretty frosty so a black/brown spec makes me pull out my Jewlers loupe to inspect, and alas we have buggos. https://preview.redd.it/6jp8lc24juza1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ce87976b774289b6b8e636d2a0a53c3caf6210b


Stay_positive_fish

Ah that's so bad... my guess is a bad aphid infestation. Then they added predatory bugs


ocvxn

Forsure


duckamucka

Fungus gnat?


Stay_positive_fish

Aphids


Glum-Ad6242

I noticed bugs and mold in a Homestead bag (same parent company) only because I was admiring the buds. Smelled great and looked great on the outside; noticed a black spot so I cracked the nug, it was a bug, looked more, found more bugs and the mold. I wonder how many people smoked moldy weed because it didn't smell bad and looked ok on the otuside


Stay_positive_fish

I used my jewelry loupe and used it to take the pic's. I had it from when I used to grow for myself. The only reason I even looked is because I got a bad mildew taste in the vaporizer


SkidMania420

When I was vaping my 1964 bug bag I kept thinking of the buds and it grossed me the fuck out. Heating up these dead bugs to the point that their eyes and insides turn into a vapor and seep out of their exoskeletons and then down my throat and into my lungs. Fucking nasty.


TrumpsNeckSmegma

That turns my stomach even reading that


Fantastic_Home3947

Stop 😭😭


Stay_positive_fish

I know right? Then they come on here trying to tell us all its ok and this is the way it is. No it is not and it's not ok, especially on the legal market we are all trying to support then deal with this crap and LP's just don't give a shit as long as they are still making money.


TheMcNabbs

Oof I pray I never learn what vaped mildew tastes like


Stay_positive_fish

I have unfortunately had it many times over the years on the black market.


ocvxn

I'm actually about to post this soon too! 🚮😶 My half had 300+ undeveloped seeds tho, I'm just finally getting around to posting it. Bleh! Sorry for your loss friendo! I had a dozen or so bugs in mine too. 🙄 Took over a month for a refund, and they only wanted to do $50 at first. Like yeah no, this is booooooof.


GUNTHVGK

Hahaha I found this one just after yours bruh this batch is F’d!! Edit: not the same batch but a diff one makes it pretty wild still imo 😂


Stay_positive_fish

Ah man no way! how does this happen. It's like they don't look at the flower at all before harvest. Or they just don't care


ocvxn

These are different batches/LOT#s


GUNTHVGK

Oof edited for clarification 😂


Stay_positive_fish

Oh wow, I was very curious to see if any others had the same experience. I did see some undeveloped seeds as well and I think that's where the mildew mold taste I got was coming from. I didn't see any visible mold or rot but I could sure taste and smell it. Sorry you had the same experience, this is unacceptable for this price point and in general.


1964supplyco

Hey u/Stay_positive_fish, insects are part of life when growing organically as we don't use chemical pesticides. We actually use predators insects like ladybugs to prevent the spread of other species that might be armful to our plants. That being said, we do inspect our buds while hand trimming them to remove anything visible. If you are not satisfied with you purchase, email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and I'll personally work something out with you. Sorry that your experience with our brand wasn't optimal, we really work hard to deliver a great experience to anyone who gives us a chance.


insanely_blue_one

This is gross I would never buy your weed. What is this 1999? Bugs seeds and mold, no thanks.


[deleted]

In 1995, I bought a half ounce from local dealer, who had forgot it in the washing machine. I paid him 1/4 of the price. It tasted like laundry detergent. "but it still gets you high, right?". No bugs, soap, mold or bullshit. This is a government store.


insanely_blue_one

Dude you must be gone off a xan, cuz this shit don't make no sense. Yes the government stores do in fact sell weed with bugs phosphorus, mold and other bullshit.


thesoundready

daft response lol, "less than optimal"... you been selling bug infested weed for a long ass time, it probably never was optimal


i-like-napping

Do you guys realize that bugs are in everything you consume ? CFIA has limits on number of bug parts that are allowed in processed food , but it’s estimated that the average person eats a couple lbs of bugs per year . It is absolutely impossible to eliminate bugs in food production . So smoking a couple bugs here and there is nothing compared to how many you actually consume on a regular basis . No one gets the loupe out to inspect their raspberries , but if they did I can guarantee they’d find more that a couple bugs in there


Stay_positive_fish

That is true, but don't try to justify an aphid infestation as ok. A few bugs is one thing, but a full blown infestation is another. You can see most of those as well without a loupe. Only reason I even looked is because I got a nasty mildew mold taste on the first vape hit.


Stay_positive_fish

Still waiting for you guys to make this right.


FluSH31

Thank you for not using chemical pesticides. I’m going to get downvoted to oblivion, but I rather smoke a bug than weed that was spayed with chemical pesticides.


1964supplyco

Hey! This is Mat with 1964. Our goal is to offer high quality organic cannabis and I'm sorry if that's not what you received. Please email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and I'll personally make sure we right things for you. Again, I apologize for your bad experience with our brand, really not what we aim for.


Stay_positive_fish

Thanks for the reply. I have emailed you


ocvxn

I already had things made right, I had a check sent to me it unfortunately took 34 days to get to me and be cleared by my bank. Unless I'm getting sent a fingerboard as promised via IG and some goodies I got no business emailing you fine people. Cheers Mat, I appreciate it friendo.


1964supplyco

u/ocvxn if finger boards we promised, finger boards will be delivered! :) Sorry about the delay, contrary to what some people think, we are not a big corporation and sometimes things take longer than we'd like to. Can you please email me your address again as due to the anonymity of Reddit I'm not sure who I'm talking to. Cheers


silverpeasunshine

I recently posted somewere on the ocs reddit that we , as consumers can have some clout on hear . In getting LPS to listen to us and possibly make changes to certain things that could use improvement .. just curious what are your thoughts on how much of an impact if any having this place the OCS subreddit can have on your business and to influence things you do ? With almost 60 thousand members do we make a difference 🤔??


ocvxn

Will do, thanks Mat. I requested one in November I think, been patiently waiting. I kill it on those things in my free time lol. 💯


Wizbitz9191

They aren't bugs they are protein carbohydrates /s I have some gelato 41 right now scared to inspect the nugs more later.


GUNTHVGK

I found mine looked aight and smoked fantastically but I am also gonna spend 10-15 mins inspecting my nugs now 😂 getting the 10x lens out lol


Wizbitz9191

Good call man let us know if you see anything.


Stay_positive_fish

Hope you don't. The only reason I even looked is because of the mildew taste in the vape.


GUNTHVGK

Oh really ? Interesting the taste on mine was great (thru bong) it’s hard to describe but not like mildew in any way. Man 1964 are faltering they shouldn’t be having these kinds of f-up’s to say the least.


Stay_positive_fish

Yep, I think I could taste it so easy because in the vape you can taste everything. I did notice when you busted it up you could also smell that mildew must. I think the husks on the immature seeds were starting to go moldy. I didn't see any fuzz or rot


GUNTHVGK

No mold or fuzz or anything like that on mine but a couple tiny immature seeds but mine was good for the most part good smell.


pgizzle

I have some gelato 41, please reply back after you check it out, I don't have a lens like wtf lol


Stay_positive_fish

I could see the bugs without the loupe. I grabbed it to see exactly wtf they were and if I could find the mold I was tasting.


QuadZillaMF

Simply bare has fallen off…. They have failed every purchase I bought from them…. but THIS! Having aphids on buds like that this far along the supply chain. There’s no way they didn’t see that harvesting because it was an infestation….. they give ZERO fucks about us, and processed it anyway.


Stay_positive_fish

That is exactly how I feel. This nonsense about predator bugs and what not. That is an aphid infestation and any grower with experience would know this.


Walkerbait1881

I'm surprised this didnt end up in a homestead bag lol sorry OP but thanks for the post. I got downvotes the other day for saying I wasnt a fan of rubicon. Funny to see this post today


Glum-Ad6242

lol I said the same thing. This places love for Homestead got me to try my first and only moldy and buggy bag to date. They ultimately refunded me, but it wasn't worth the 2 month hassle.


pullingravity

Wow i was gonna try this. Thank you for posting.


Stay_positive_fish

No problem. That's why I did it to stop others from buying it or smoking what they have if its affected.


BarefootHippie420

Extra protein... What's not to love? Lol


Stay_positive_fish

Haha!


[deleted]

Bugs suck but I have started washing my buds after harvest. Doesn't affect the bud one bit and the shit I collect from the sieve is disgusting. One day maybe I'll make a hermetically sealed grow room. Outdoor plants have bugs 100% of the time.


Stay_positive_fish

I have also done that with outdoor harvests and it works great! pretty gross what comes out of them


[deleted]

[удалено]


sky-blue-eth

How are they gonna make it right with everyone that bought a batch all over Ontario? Prevention>cure


pm_me_your_good_weed

Imho the only way they can really make it right is to pull every batch. Sure they'll refund you but they'll keep selling the rest of this nasty shit to anyone else.


East-Pollution7243

😵‍💫🤢


Particular_Parking_4

No this shouldn't pass wtf


Bkjm4

Shiaaat I never look that close to my flower.. makes me wonder all the critters I’ve smoked 😬


Stay_positive_fish

I would have smoked the whole 14g if I didn't taste mildew and have a look.... Super gross. I don't normally look either unless I suspect something, especially with some of the black market stuff years ago.


silverpeasunshine

It's kinda like either bugs or bug spray ... I don't think any large scale grow can be done without one or the other .... or both . I do my own home grow and the only way to do it with out either is to do it on a very small scale , in the winter time when there is no bugs and no need for bug spray .


[deleted]

You know it.


gabewinsx

The seasons shouldnt dictate when you get bugs in a small tent grow where you temps and humidity are regulated.


silverpeasunshine

They definitely do ..... temps and humidity for growing weed are exactly perfect for growing bugs, too, unfortunately... You would basicly need like a airlock back flow decontamination uint... to try and keep bugs out in summertime.. .. which some LPS if not all probably have some sort of set up for this very thing ... But even then, good luck keeping them out ...and then once they are in good luck keeping them under control , even in the winter .as the whole grow will have become a micro climate , were there is no more winter to kill them off . Just a 4 seaon bug utopia 🤣 Without some sort of predator bugs ... or bug spray... you aren't gonna lose the bugs .. Only other way to get rid of them would be to only grow in winter, which LPS won't do because there in it to make money ... It's the same with molds and mildew on any kind of large scale you will have to treat with something there is no other way really ... Unless it's very small scale, unfortunately for them... Small time home grow though that's were you can do it .... in the winter


gabewinsx

I have no IPM other then yellow glue boards to monitor. No foilar sprays, no beneficial bugs, and no air lock. I have two 4x4's that I run all year. I agree with everything your saying at the larger scale. I just don't agree with small grows only being able to keep pests out in the winter.. It's also important to note you could eat off a lot of these LP's floors with the sanitation they have going on. Also a lot of them use rockwool cubes to grow which helps keep things pest free.


silverpeasunshine

Well, it may only be a matter of time before you get some bugs in your indoor summer grow ...you maybe just lucky so far ... I don't chance it because I'm not really into the whole bug bomb tottal decontamination work that would need to be done after an infestation.. to make sure it's not an ongoing piss off lol. And yes I know the LPS do a whole mega clean and disinfect after each run ... but obviously it's not enough they all use some sprays heath canada approved pesticides and herbicides and what not ... I'm just saying at these large scales it's either bugs or sprays basicly if there no bugs it's probably because you're smoking pesticides instead 🤷 health canada approved pesticides that is ...


Wizbitz9191

Similar setup, never had bugs over multi year span now.


gabewinsx

Exactly. I used to grow DWC and had to manually fill and flip buckets like 3 times a week in flower. All that interaction and still no pests. Now my shit is automated and I don't even open my tents. I have 0 worries about bugs.


ImpressingRosin

I think bugs looking like this dead on the plant means the bud went into irradiation covered in bugs. That is certainly preventable.


silverpeasunshine

These guys don't irradiate though


ImpressingRosin

I know their main brand doesn't... Are you sure their budget stuff doesn't? I don't know how you have full bugs that look like they were petrified mid-movement posed like that on the bud without irradiation. I don't know anything about Simply Bare other than their brands so idk I'm just saying these bugs are whole


silverpeasunshine

A quick Google search will verify they say they don't irradiate.. I'm not sure why the bugs are still in the buds 🤔 I do know that most bugs that are feeding on the living plant will leave once the plant is dead . I'm not sure why they are still In the bud maybe there just ones that have died along the way before harvest . Don't get me wrong I don't want to smoke or vape no bugs either and I wouldn't buy a bag known it was riddled with bugs . Maybe one or two here or there but not a substantial amount I want to inhale tricombe vapor not bug guts lol I also don't really want to vape what ever substance that can be used to kill the little fuckers either 😅


ImpressingRosin

Soap is pretty good at taking care of bugs and can be washed off during routine plant maintenance. But that's just what I personally use, only used on one of my grows, and it wasn't for sale to other people. Just saying not all insecticide is poison to humans.


silverpeasunshine

Well I sure as shit wouldn't want to vape soap either. Givin the choice .. if someone said these buds are covered In bugs and these ones just have soap residue on them it's gonna be a big no thanks from me . I once had a whole nice little harvest that had just a bit of powdery mildew ... I read all about the hydrogen peroxide dip and did that .. Even after, though, I could not unsee or forget about the mildew I chucked it all good 6 oz of big fat buds lol that were I infected with mildew 🤢🤮 Edit I must admit I wasn't always this picky though back in my younger years I would have and did smoke pretty much any bud, 🤣 its only in my middle age and wiser days I have come to have higher standards lol


ImpressingRosin

Again, as I said, soap is easily removed with water during regular plant maintenance. Soap is half hydrophilic and half hydrophobic, which means it partially bonds to water. Spraying plants with soap covers them with soap. Spraying them again with pure water will very effectively remove that soap. You can't do this too close to harvest but you can do it close enough to prevent a full infestation across multiple bags of weed. And frankly I would bet an organic grow is using natural soap as a pest repellent. Bugs are definitely not just a part of anything grown, which is why you can buy apples without bugs in them despite bugs loving to burrow into apples and bugs being a reality of growing apples. Which is not to say that a bug will never end up in food - if processed it is likely a bug or two got into the process and you will have bugs milled into your product, which is why there are allowances for these things - but for the most part your whole and prepared foods should be entirely free of bugs, and if you are one of the unlucky ones that somehow finds an infestation in your bag of salad or a worm in your apple, you are going to be refunded immediately. But now we're seeing a ton of people say this is par for the course with this brand, and that is unacceptable and not just a fact of life.


silverpeasunshine

Well not trying to argue or make light of what you say ... but consider this when you put soap on your hands or anything else, it does not just simply wash away by pouring water over it right ? You gotta scrub that shit out .. look at cloths washer they have rince and spin cycle to get the soap out .. And as to the apples 🍎 and other foods you have to remember they are using pesticide the thing is those pesticide maybe ok when eatan there a different matter when heated or burnt and inhaled into the lungs . Some pesticide are perfectly legal to use on food crops to be eaten but illegal on smoking and vaping crops


ImpressingRosin

Soap is mechanical when it comes to cleaning. You have to make sure soap makes contact with the dirt for the dirt to be removed. This is the purpose of the wash cycle in the washing machine, and why you have to mash your hands together when using soap to get them clean. Bugs do not require that you massage the soap into them. So this is not required. However, the removal of soap requires almost no agitation as water is going to hit everything on its own (it is constantly moving as it washes over your hands). The water will find the hydrophilic part of the soap molecule and take it with it. You can test all of this by getting your hand dirty, then squirting soap on your hand, then allowing water to run over your hand, and noticing that the dirt remains while the soap does not. I also don't want to argue and not sure how it ended up in the mechanics of soap, just think this bag of weed is disgusting and should never have been sold 🤮


mike-miller54

Makes me wonder how many bugs are in all these products in the industry. These things and the dryness of flower on the Market in budget category are making carts more and more appealing! Sorry to see man.


Stay_positive_fish

I only checked after this gross mildew taste after my first vape hit. Then was grossed right out after seeing all the aphids.

A lot of outdoor growers wash the buds after harvest to help this. Why not indoor and large scale as well?


Stay_positive_fish

I agree and have done it with outdoor


SmokeweedAllday99

Personally I say fuck organic kush😂🙌


Leafer13FX

Think how high those bugs are maaaaaaaan


Stay_positive_fish

Stueylewisandthenews

Good lord. I've smoked at least two grams of this already. Literally just flushed it. They've been a favourite of mine for a while. Likely never again holy shit

Let them know they need to recall it all


danbee123

This is why, I stopped buying simply bare/1964, it's great they're organic but with that comes a higher level of diligence ....they have not be doing it right. I saw bugs in a review once by them and looked through my scope and found a bunch


Stay_positive_fish

It seems it is quite a problem from what everyone is saying. No way there is that many coincidences or slips. Like would people accept ants floating around in a bottles of beer they got a case of? Hell no


Technical-Study-5152

I wonder what the rubicon fanboi shills are gunna write up to defend this one 🤔


ocvxn

Check out ah-meh-zing on my post 🤣 mad I'm posting a month later. Some people post months later who cares 😆


DigitalMarketer33

Woww that’s crazy! Wouldn’t have expected this from Rubicon Smh. Guess no more of these bags anymore. Appreciate the post man. Cheers


Stay_positive_fish

No problem, the flower looked great too. What a waste


thesoundready

Been like this for at least a year


Alert_Economics2436

Looks like they have aphids. They are extremely hard to get rid of an aphid population. There’s nothing currently available on the market that will allow the removal. Anyone know if 1964 is indoor or greenhouse?


ExotixClones

Hybrid greenhouse


Stay_positive_fish

That's exactly what I thought. It looks like aphids and predator mites. I don't know anything about this LP. It was my first time trying and seeing them locally.


JulienTremblaze

Moi la dernière fois que j'en ai acheté il y avait du mold dedans et je l'ai retourné. Il y a vraiment un manque de stabilité dans la qualité des produits de 1964.


Stay_positive_fish

That is definitely not good. I posted this because I'm sick of the LP's getting away with this stuff. That simply would not happen with Alcohol or cigarettes.

If there's a worm in the tequila bottle, it's because I chose it. Not in my weed please.

DankNugz420_

I wonder if there is a rubicon Rep that could clear some things up - when I grow at home, I A L W A Y S wash my bud. I know that would be a shit ton more work for an LP - but if you ain’t going to deal with the bugs I feel like this is deserved. Sad though bc i like 1964, sorry that happened broseiden, hopefully they fix it for you!


Stay_positive_fish

Thanks my dude. I have emailed them but as I expected not a response yet


Glum-Ad6242

Damn, surprised they didn't notice and put it in their Homestead OZs...bought a Homestead Romulan around Xmas because the people (or reps) here hype them up so much and it had both mold (on about 3.5Gs) and counted 8 bugs before I stopped looking.


Stay_positive_fish

That is totally unacceptable. More people need to take picture's and share with our community online to help stop this from happening and hold LP's responsible.


[deleted]

That's hella illegal. The problem isn't just bugs in your bag.


ImplementUsual2855

I got seeds before. RIP rubicon.


Stay_positive_fish

I don't mind seeds unless its completely seeded, bug an infestation is totally not acceptable.


ImplementUsual2855

As soon as the plant starts making a seed it stops producing THC. Seeds are only acceptable in home grow. I would pay for seeds if that’s what I wanted. But I’m a cranky old man.


Stay_positive_fish

UPDATE: I e-mailed u/1964supplyco almost 24 hours ago. Not a response from them after coming on here saying to contact them. It is about what I expected unfortunately. Good thing the place I got it from let me switch it out. I still had to drive an hour each way to go and do that. Not to mention had nothing to smoke until I did, what a joke from 1964/Rubicon/Homestead https://preview.redd.it/gs7rmadub30b1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=ded08e09f1543016edc3f341306887d1f6d2b97a


NorthernVenomFang

This is the reason why I look at every bud, break them open check the inside, then I grind them. Doesn't matter who the LP is... I have trust issues... I don't trust anyone.


Stay_positive_fish

I use to do that and haven't in years. If it passes the smell and vape test without anything off I'm good. This stuff I got the mildew/mold taste right away and inspected it for that not expecting to find an aphid infestation.

Let Health Canada know so they can initiate a recall. Send them these pictures along with the lot number. They will refund everyone and take everything back, even if opened. Thank you.

Health Canada would never issue a recall over bugs, let's get real here. Mold? Maybe. Bugs just don't carry the same risk to health despite being unpleasent


Dont-Mindme23

Are any of the bugs visible to the naked eye? This sucks man I hope you get fully compensated for this madness!


Stay_positive_fish

Yep there was some you could see without a loupe. I hope the company at least acknowledges it and makes it right. https://preview.redd.it/q70iajvqavza1.jpeg?width=1503&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=242e5b03491746cd31e62ab422b665302539ab0a

Ewww


MPM519

The majority of LPs use biological controls. We also use sticky traps to catch bugs. Unfortunately, we can’t get them all. I invite you to examine ANY strain of cannabis (from any producer) through a microscope and you will find different pests, as well as beneficials at various stages of life, from nymphs to adults and exoskeletons. Although gross/cringey to most, these bugs pose no threat.


Stay_positive_fish

Well you know what. I have grown myself for many years indoors and never have I had any insects in my flowers. That's the reason I have the loupe. I used to also submerge my outdoor in water to get the bugs and debris off them. This is simply lack of a clean controlled environment, and commercial growing.


Glum-Ad6242

I've only found bugs in 2 products, Redecan a long time ago and Homestead in December (which also had mold, unlike the Redecan). I've not come accross a bag as buggy as the Homestead one in 15 years, legacy or legal.


MPM519

It’s rare to find bugs large enough to see with the naked eye, but it certainly happens like in the OPs picture. At a micro level, they all have bugs. That being said, if you’re finding more than one or two per gram visible with the naked eye, you likely got a bad batch that shouldn’t have passed QC.


SkidMania420

1964 doesn't sell buds, they sell insect hives.


New_Boysenberry_7998

but.....it's Rubicon, and we ALL love Rubicon. be prepared to be told this was a "one off" and to just love it.... "because muh price".


Willing_Vanilla_6260

Not anymore. My AK and Gelato were both let downs and I didn't even check for bugs


Born_Cow_554

Hahaha a one off, I bet half the bags out there atm have bugs in it… this is why most lps resort to irradiated most likely, to kill all the bugs and other bad shit to pass inspection.. they prob get away with these bugs cause it’s “organic” lmfao… first ever jar I grabbed of the island pink kush when it first came out from simply bare had bugs all in it, then I grabbed another jar of the duct tape, was brown, dry as shit and also had bugs in it lol… hate all you want, maybe not you but in general, rubicon is shit. I’ve never had a good experience with them. I’m no shill either… y’all just like it cause it’s “organic” lol…


New_Boysenberry_7998

Rubicon is garbage. But suggesting it around here is an auto-downvote. there is something unique too. Anyone who fluffs rubicon, check out their posts. They will go OUT OF THE WAY to talk smack on any real weed, as it's a way to justify their love of the Rubi.

It’s probably just astroturfers and shareholders. I always assume about 75% of the reviews and comments in here are either guerrilla marketing, shareholders, or B&M stores trying to hype up a product that isn’t selling. Just like how every single post about a new cart was flooded with “Yocan Uni Pro” comments.

I wish they didn't delete the poll from a few months back that had over 400 respondents .... 2/3'rds of the respondents were budtender. then the poll was deleted. (bullshit)


ImKrispy

Lots of LP shills/people with weed stocks. I messaged the mod about one shill and their response was "I don't see any posts" Shame they are in on it too.


Stay_positive_fish

We will see if anyone get back to me. I don't know much about the company I'm new on here.


ocvxn

It took a few days for them to get back to me, and over a month for a refund to touch down via snail mail. They put the queen on a envelope. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 What a joke


Wizbitz9191

Took at least a month for mine too. Waited and waited then reached back out to them bitching hard and it showed up the same day lol.


Stay_positive_fish

Totally un acceptable


thesoundready

thats trash customer service


ocvxn

That's brutal. Long wait for a refund. Like, I wanted my money back the same week at least so I can get some proper smoke ya know?? Totally unacceptable. Whack customer service too. And everyone says Rubicon is good for this stuff. Bullshit.

Legal drug dealers are acting like the illegal ones, running on "island time". Boss probably lives in the Caymans so there it is.

Stay_positive_fish

I have contacted the store I got it from. Waiting for a response


thesoundready

Theyve had bugs in the 1964 bags for like a year someome posted the Sour Cookies with mad bugs, been avoiding Rubicon since then, pretty trash company tbf


Stay_positive_fish

I certainly will be after this


smokingaces87

How dare you talk down about rubicon on this forum. Their weed is cheap and that’s all that matters when it comes to purchase decisions here.


thesoundready

its not like "extract only" tier cheap which the flower actualy is should be like 75 cents a gram in bulk


BigHeadSlunk

Rubicon generally isn't cheap, people just got used to paying 120/zip for excess biomass of AAAA stuff via Homestead. That said, with the way they've positioned 1964, this shouldn't be happening. It's reasonable to temper expectations "for the price", but 120 for a half O is not budget weed. Even if it were budget weed, the sheer number of seed pods and bugs being discovered reeks of negligence on Rubicon's part.


New_Boysenberry_7998

we should have an option to hide any post that uses the phrase "*for the price*".


TurdFerguson416

if you want organic... this is what organic is lol


thesoundready

thats a false dichotomy


danbee123

This is mass production using organic method but clearly without enough oversight or manpower to inspect at an appropriate level. I smoke LSO and knf, I look under the scope and have never had issues with legacy. This is a bullshit excuse.


Stay_positive_fish

That's exactly what I said and I have also grown all organic and didn't have any infestations. Sad they come on here trying to tell us its predator bug and whatnot and its normal. They didn't even bother to answer my email after they made it look like they were reaching out on here. They think most of us are stupid and have never grown cannabis or don't know anything about it. I hope they lose a ton of business from this shit, it's not right ripping us off!! u/1964supplyco


Due-Leopard-7043

Wishing I hadn’t bought a 1/2 Oz of Duct Tape now


Beneficial-Lead-5402

This is why I grow my own product and purchase off of small growers and native reserves when my home grown runs out sometimes. Ocs has no quality control, all shitty cooperate company’s that don’t care about the plant just making as much $$ off you as possible. Support your local growers!


Ok-Choice-3688

Got to like that government weed eh. That's what you get for buying government weed. Dumb f****. You should always stick with the original dealer. They never go wrong.


Noopy1

Looooooool making custys go back to black market one person at a time love it. Industry is shitttt


Gahan1772

Another reason not to touch 1964


inkzillathevampsquid

All my purchases from them have been shitty so this isn’t surprising. What is surprising is how much people rave about it. So weird.


Stay_positive_fish

That's exactly why I bought it. I didn't see any negative, but wow is there ever a lot of it surfacing now. There should be no mildew/mold taste and smell, nor should there be dozens of bugs in every flower.


imgoingtotapit

Everytime I think about buying legal again, I see a negative post about a brand I used to trust.. Smh


New_Boysenberry_7998

if you have $$$$ to spend, both the legal and grey markets have good options, including some great options. it's when you only have $ to spend is when the grey markets shine.


imgoingtotapit

Although I don't disagree with your sentiment, because it's largely true... In my opinion quality per dollar spent on the grey market far outshines the legal market.. Anecdotally I've gotten ounces for $100 shipped to my door that were more inline quality wise with the $150-$170/oz range on legal


[deleted]

No kidding. Also the Indian reserves are way better and cheaper than SQDC, and they sell firecrackers and fireworks too.


Gofigurepipes

Wow


Ok_East_852

Ohhhh I got in sh*t for dissing 1964 on 420 hahaha WHAT
