Peace and Blessings my friends. I am still here and I still big smoking. I have been really frustrated with the changes involving marijuana and throughout the year I have had some serious ups and downs as a patient. I do want to vent about what is going on but I want to learn a little more before I speak on our current events.

For now I really want you all  to be aware of WeedMaps.com and the unique service they provide.

If you are living in Southern California you might be experiencing some the same issues I am with local dispensaries closing down. I have had my two favorite shops shut down when I was looking to refill my prescription. With the uncertainty of the quality at the other dispensaries in my area I had to check out Weedmaps.

WeedMaps.com offers a very cool website for the local shops to advertise. Patients can leave reviews and the website offers coupons everyday. Contact information and the physical address are both accompanied by a precise map. You gotta check it out. I will be back soon hopefully before x-mas to let you know where I am at and what I have been smoking. Until next time my friends... Happy Holidays.

Hey there my friends,  you know what time it is but before we begin the next chapter i just wanted to say... This industry is booming. Everyday I hear of a new pharmacy or a new strain.So much so I can not keep the bloggin up to date with the smoking. The amount of people buying, selling and trading is starting to make me believe that any rise in the economy is a direct result of the changing laws regarding medical marijuana. Its just my opinion but this review may help open your mind to same opinion.

Broken record or not I have to tell you I found another deal. Courtesy of another Ad in the Culture Mag, my most recent prescription was filled at Riverside's Main St. Health and Wellness Center. The advertisement read $6 grams. I was sure this was the lowest price I had found so far so I had to investigate for my blog.

I arrived and found a line of stoners hanging out around the commercial building.  At first I was excited  and wonder if the price and quality was really that good to have a line formed outside at 8:30pm, but eventually I was made aware it wasn't the pharmacy... it was a Growing seminar. The pharmacy was actually located a few doors down. Upon entrance and the routine registration, I even passed a metal detector and security guidelines. It was a very clean establishment and the staff was very friendly. Even the security guard was good for a decent conversation. They gave me the grand tour and the tour made me acknowledge the fact that this was the largest pharmacy I had been in.  Their building had room for a grow room and display. They have a consignment area where you can find oils, edibles and other treats. It was all really impressive but at the same time my only concern was the quality of the $6 gram. To no surprise the it was about 6 $ worth of weed. You could tell immediately from looking thru the jar. I love a great deal but its rare you find quality at great price. I order a few grams and looked around some more because I knew i would probably get more pain relief outta the actual coupon itself.

Now remember the building is big and I ended up wandering down the hallway a little bit. I was startled its was maybe a half dozen cubicles each with a grower / salesmen sitting down with a display of their own personal stash. I was kind of confused about it all and I soon got the run down. This Main St. Wellness Center is the home the our nations only Medical Marijuana Farmers Market. Seriously! Patients that grow and may have extra can come trade or sell the extra weed. Every Friday and Saturday during business hours the farmers market is available. It was a little bit to digest but I wasn't complaining. The vendors inside the farmers market all had better greens that the pharmacy itself. So it was mandatory for me to support such a system. I don't know what I got or who I got it from but it was alot better than the 6 $ gram they were advertising. Even though I was really disappointed with the ad they were running...  the establishment, the staff and the system was top notch. It made me feel very proud of my city for being the first and only to allow such a pharmacy to support and cultivate for patients.

Overall the Main St Health and Wellness Center is a must visit for any patient in the remote area. You must expierence the chances and evolution that is happening before our eyes. As a bonus I got a cookie as well as a free gift and it was one of the most effective edibles I ever had. There are many reasons to check out this facilty and iI would love to hear your comments and reply after you do so.

Peace and blessings my friends. I hope you missed me. I know you didn't think I stopped smoking, Right? Over the past few weeks I have visited the same collective on several occasions. I know it wasn't the agenda when creating the blog, but the special fit the quality and overall the price was right.

I again found the Green Ribbon Co-Op inside the Culture Magazine and I was interested in the house special. As Advertised its a 1/8th of anything on the shelf for $39.00 and I figured it's a good deal, if i could get a decent amount of pain relief. Medical Marijuana is expensive. Its not much different from the street value and pricing, but when its compared to beer, Advil or even cigarettes, your receipts make you wonder.
Since i got so many different types and made several trips i will list my evaluations below to make its more easy on you readers.


Hindu Skunk:

If there was one strand I would suggest not trying it would have to be the Hindu Skunk. It just didn't float my boat. Kinda Dry and Flaky.. it really didn't seem fresh or potent. It has a soft kick like a newborn baby. I don't know if its my tolerance, But I would believe most patients need something much stronger for relief.

Chernobyl:

This strains name scares me. You should google its name. Considering the knowledge of the name's meaning, I figured it would be strong. Honestly it was slightly better thank the Hindu Skunk. Again it wasn't really fresh and its didn't taste as good as it looked. Overall on a scale of 1 thru 10,  I would give it a 4.4 on the scale.

Purple Mr. Nice:
I loved this strain. The taste was nice and smelled great. I would say it could be stronger, but it was perfect for my work online. yes it was light for me, but it gave a very mellow and chill vibe. I kinda Felt a nice body high too. Now Im learning the differences between Sativa and Indicas. I forgot which this was.. but it was worth the ticket. 6.2 on the Scale
Dream Queen:

An absolute bargain for the price. I actually wanted more and they ran out before i could get back to the collective. Fast and heavy relief. After smoking this the first day.. I didn't feel my arthritis for 2 or 3 days. Coincidence, yeah maybe, but its was a great score. I suggested trying it if you get a chance. On the Scale I would give it a 6.9, it was good!

Fire Og:

As with any medicine, patients become immune to it eventually. If your like me you need the best of the best. Fire Og is around 7.5 on my scale. The best value I found at this collective. It was worth regular price and with the house special its made me a happy camper. if you get a chance grab a few servings of this batch, its doesn't always get this good. I suggest a nice water pipe and movie.


Overall the Green Ribbon Co-Op and the Culture Magazine serve its purpose. I have seen alot better medicine but I have also seen alot worse. I am Satisfied and I will visit them again someday. You can find them located on Magnolia just off the Tyler exit. I don't know how long the special is but $39 for an 1/8th is a great deal .. get it while its hots.
