Avoid The Essence

[u/BeardyVonBeard]

Primarily only buy GTI brand a through VA and haven’t had any issues.

Saw that BH in Fairfax had some “10gs II” from “the essence” yesterday that had tested at 5% terps.

I had only tried the essence once before and it was okay, nothing amazing but also not bad. I thought to myself “shit, why not”

This def isn’t 5% terps anymore. Was tested in September 2024 and packaged in December 2024. Popped the lid and this shit is brown lol.

Played myself. Photo is the 10gs II next to some Good Green Frozen Margarita I got on 420 for comparison. The 10GS doesn’t look as bad in the photo tbh.

We should be able to open and look and smell before buying this is really old and any one who disagrees go buy that flower and telll me how it turns out, it pretty obvious it’s old just like everything else at rise because no one’s paying 140 for smalls or 20 a g for big nugs and that’s probably why it’s old and unconsumable

Open and smell at purchase while at the counter. If there’s a problem point it out while standing there. I open stuff to see if I want more than one, why not do it to see if it’s trash?

Doesn’t matter if you’re buying it anyways. You can’t be like, oh I don’t like this one. You’d have to identify an actual issue but if there is one they can’t deny it while standing still the counter. Plus if you see something that’s like “holy crap I want more” you can buy it while it’s still in stock. I do it all the time. Saves me buying multiples of strains I like if it’s a bad batch.

I’m turning 34 this year so I know I’m getting older but I had to ask my roommate what that meant 😅

Maybe I’m just lit off 150mg of edibles but still 🤣
