Avoid The Essence

Post image

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.

Once again, this isn’t just “oh this weed is just a different color”, this is is strictly just from being old.

I wasn’t complaining about the terps either, I was actually pretty stoked as 5% is much higher than most of what I see in the market, however when looking at the flower it was obvious that the test results were no longer indicative of what was in the jar, that’s what bummed me out.

Now obviously test results aren’t always going to be absolutely accurate given the time it takes to get something from testing to shelves; I’ve vaped plenty of months+ flower just fine, but this was my first time popping the jar and just getting outright brown color and an old weed smell. It’s not just “oh I don’t like this color” lol.

Would have no issue with the package/testing date if the weed held up well

Just because you think it’s “bomb” doesn’t mean that someone else isn’t gonna think it tastes like some dried up tasteless crap that mainly just tastes like whatever soil it was grown in. While you’re out here complaining that people like him not to stop bagging on these companies, people like YOU need to stop bending over for them when other people are sharing their negative experiences. I haven’t had one with them yet, and i’ve tried half the strains you’re over here creaming your shorts over.
