On Specials and Combos

"Specials" or "Combos" with some providers just means repackaging the product in a way to promote something or get rid of whatever's not been selling or is a bit more exotic by putting items together in an exaggerated way that only saves you a nominal amount, like 10 cents. That's what most fast food places do. "Get the combo, you'll save 50 cents off your $15 order!"

The provider can honestly tell you that the price for all the items together is more than what they'll charge you, but its kind of a hollow truth because they omit how much you'll save exactly. The value of the discount doesn't jive with the big deal they're making about it.

Now, this misuse of the idea of a Sale offends me.  The transaction scenario as intended is that a disabled person comes to the provider to get their MJ to help them with their particular affliction.

This may be a person new to using MJ, who is still suffering from effects of their disability(es) and is nervous and trying their best to navigate through the information being given them, and he/she is trying to make an informed decision about which of the strains might hopefully give them relief.  So I'm saying you have someone whom you could, if so inclined, take advantage of, either by misleading him/her or having cloudy unclear information about  your MJ.

Some providers are generous and will overweigh the scale for you, either intentionally to be generous or because they're just happy to give you what you agreed to buy and a little overage isn't a big deal and they're not going to waste your time finessing it just because they dropped in a nug that was a little (we're talking maybe half a gram when buying 1/4 oz) over.

But for some providers, they set their acceptable overage very low, like 0.2 grams.  They'll drop in and take out a dozen buds so they give you as little overage as possible. 

Now, that's their right as the provider. You wanted a 1/4 and they're going to give you your 1/4, but they'll spend 5 minutes trying to get the scale to balance just right even though they have other patients waiting for their turn while you start to feel impatient.

I don't want to feel impatient with my MJ provider.  I want to feel like we're in this together, cooperating to let me acquire a product for a fair price and we can mutually appreciate having a pleasant interaction.

If a provider wants to be picky about it, then don't be lazy and prepare appropriately.  Do like SoCo MMJ does and have it all pre-weighed in containers, then you can package it in a way that is more sanitary for patient and as a bonus and you minimize your overage while not wasting the patient's time or looking like a cheap bastard.

Just giving some info and my constructive criticism.  To the providers, don't take any criticisms personally.  My desire, if you read my words about you, is that you take my opinion, evaluate it, and if its something you'd like to fix, then at least I've brought your attention to something in your operation that could be improved.  I'm a free consultant for you, so please don't take anything personally.

Mystic Gem by SoCo MMJ

Ok, so when I bought the LSD (Lemon Sour Diesel) that I got at SoCo MMJ, they happened to have a special going: 1/4 oz of Mystic Gem with a gram of hash and a preroll for $55.  Very nice special, thank you SoCo MMJ..  Their 1/4 generally start at $60.  So kudos to SoCo MMJ for real deal.

The genuine info on Mystic Gem as medicine is practically non existant on the interwebs (Lots on the seed form but none on the bud), so I really had no guidance on how Mystic Gem was going to affect me.  So here it is, the first articulated opinion of Mystic Gem, which can be ordered as a seed or bought at SoCo MMJ for however long they grow it.

Mystic Gem: 

Creativity off the chart! I mean seriously!  My frontal lobe is actually getting a nice golden feeling like it's working at 150%!   If you need to visit the idea store or have writer's block, this "side effect" will take care of that faster than Mitt Romney can "corporate raid" an honest successful business into an empty warehouse.

[Sidenote] You might notice my writing style change from post to post because I'm writing these posts while experiencing the side effects of different strains of MJ.  In the middle of  writing this post, I got sidetracked off on the topic of  Specials and essentially wrote a really long opinion about it mid-this-review.  After seeing how long it was, I decided it more properly should be in a separate post  (which you can read in a few minutes when I finish editing it and post it.)

Now, today isn't the first day I've used Mystic Gem, but since I think how I write while on an MJ strain is informative to the reader as an indication of how talkative I waited until I was on it to write my review.  As you might can tell, I'm seriously talkative.  I don't think I'd be a good listener right now for a friend because my mind is on talkative overdrive.  I'm loving words at the moment.  My brain is just seriously turned on by finding and using words.  So rock on Mystic Gem (by SoCo MMJ), savior of the frustrated procrastinating writer!  LoL  I wasn't planning on writing a review today because I wasn't trying something new, but here it is!

Heavy potency on the side effect.  Hey, you may call it a "high" but medicinally, its a side effect.

I'm not having a lot of physical energy at the moment, but that could be a side effect of the increased energy in the brain.  I still feel productive and seem to be getting things done, just not necessarily the things that I had on my agenda to do today.

Body feels good.  No spasms or pain.  So Cheers!  A quality medicinal strain if grown properly.

SoCo MMJ:

Also, bless SoCo MMJ for recycling.  They have a jar return program where if you bring back their jar when it's empty, you get a free preroll and they wash the jar and reuse it.  SoCo MMJ definitely gets the green thumb up for the quality Mystic Gem AND for their contribution of effort towards making us more symbiotic with our environment.

I've previously reviewed the Lemon Sour Diesel strain by SoCo MMJ, so if you click on the SoCo MMJ label at the bottom of this post, you can find more info about them from my previous posts.  No need to repeat myself.  :-)

Edit: Um, kind of personal, but positive effect on the libido.  That's all I'm gonna say.
