Hey fam!

Happy Thursday, hope everyone is staying lifted.

Two quick subjects I want to tackle today and address the community:

1) Telegram bots, bots that are dming, and scammers that dm. Posts that include vendors exclusively on telegram will be removed and bans may be issued immediately as this is against Reddit TOS, as telegram is being used as a platform to solicit sales and is generally sketchy, not to mention the amount of scams that do occur. I’ll clarify below:

In the situation that you get a DM, the best course of action is to not reply and to report the DM to Reddit. DMs go beyond our community in the sense that we as mods have no control over dms to our cult members. I do actively try to ban any username that pops up with a telegram message but this isn’t stopping their continual messages to cult members.

With this being said, taking a screenshot of your messages to a scammer and posting them only allows for the scammer to reach a wider audience. These screenshot posts have nothing to do with our community and will be removed. Please just report these accounts to Reddit and do not engage. Typically, their dm’s will go to the dm requests, so instead of accepting them and writing a witty response back, just report it. Simple as that!

2) Sourcing posts

Recently, there have been many posts with questions about direct sourcing in different states. Posts such as “where can I get THCa in x city or y state” are not allowed. This community was founded on due diligence, researching vendors, taking chances on new drops, and community communication. Asking “who has the best THCa” or “who has the best concentrates” have been answered 100s of times over the years and can be found by using the search bar! Posts including order summary screenshots will count as sourcing posts, as they point directly to a vendor (the vendors name or website are in these screenshots, and we can’t have that).

Drop posts that include direct links to vendor sales, vendor names, or coupon codes will be removed.

These posts are posted several times in a day. If your post is removed, please check the comments, as I provide reason for every post removal.

Further, violation of the above can result in a temporary ban, up to a permanent ban depending on the severity of the violation.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, I love this community so much and everyone of you here has made the cult what it is today!

This is a general announcement regarding posts that break our rules

If you have an issue with something, take it up with the cultivar. Our community is unable to answer your shipping questions, your vendor questions, or any other question pertaining to anything that happens off of Reddit. We do not allow any transaction of any sales or of any legal or illegal goods

If your THCa is in Narnia, take it up with the cultivar that shipped the package, no one in this community is able to answer your personal question because none of us are affiliated with the business your ordered from and again we will not entertain your specific issue. There are email and contact forms off Reddit that can be used to follow up with CS issues.

Please use the search bar before posting, there is a good chance your question has already been answered.

The Cult is founded on due diligence, which is, self research and trying new ideas out for yourself to decide if they are good or not. If you find something and are interested with how it is, get it yourself! It is that simple. Then share the review. Asking with a generic screenshot of a website “how good is this THCa” is considered a low effort post and will be removed.

Daily, we are seeing a major influx of sourcing posts, low effort posts, posts with screenshots, posts with vendor packaging with direct QR codes or links to websites. All of these are posts that are against our rules will be taken down and moving forward, bans will be issued. Temporary bans will be 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days up to a permanent ban. If you are found soliciting sales, you will be permanently banned. There are no exceptions

The moderation team has posted stickies about sourcing, yet each day there are more and more posts asking about sourcing or where to find products or who has the best products - that is not the purpose of our community.

Our community is about sharing THCa, reviewing THCa that’s available, and educating on federally legal THCa. Please stop treating this community as your personal marketplace and customer service resolution.

For the 99% of you that continue to support and report posts against our rules thank you. I see your comments and appreciate everything that you do. Y’all are the true heroes.

Stay lifted

I used to get mine from WFW, but it looks like the wolves aren't being fed any longer (since February).

Many here are not a fan of syrups because of their sugar content, which is understandable, but I liked using these syrups in some wacky hybrid alcoholic cocktails.

Does anyone know of any good alternatives that don't taste like cough syrup? WFW was pretty good with their flavors, mango especially.

Edit: Dang just noticed FF (farm for fox holes) closed in November after a lawsuit on THC levels past the farm bill threshold. I think that was the only other alternative I knew of.

Edit Edit: Looks like Alp1n3 Hemp and 3njoy Hemp could be promising.

Are they typically the same quality & the only difference is the size? Curious with it being double the quantity for 2.50 more

Just came here to say i will never order from them again! I ordered the red sharpie and cookies and cream . The red sharpie was lack luster and I got shorted a little over a gram . No biggie it happens. Now it's one thing if I contact a company about this and they at least acknowledge it or say they will make up for it next time. But to be contacted 3 days in a row and not hear a peep from anyone is wild. First and last time buying from them.

After a couple years with y'all, there's clearly more to a good vendor than just price per gram. A recent post asked about this, but it was deleted. I wanted to share my thoughts.

Some things would affect sales or profits, but this is purely about what would make vendors more appealing to me.

This sub loves to downvote. That's fine, I don't need internet points. But if you disagree, it'd be more interesting to express disagreement as a comment.

1. Have a set of well-known strains that you can consistently have available. I'd love a reliable supplier for my staples. Or at least some indication that what I'm buying may never be offered again. I don't buy from vendors that use their own made-up names, and I always look up strain reviews before buying anything new to me.
2. Direct links to strain review sites like leafly or allbud or whatever would be nice. If your cultivar differs from what is common in reviews, help me understand that before I receive something that doesn't align with reviews at all and lose trust.
3. "Sample packs" of the consistently-available strains. Strain hunting is fun, except when I get a full 8th of something that just isn't for me. Or when I get just an 8th of something I love but is never in stock again. I'd happily risk $40 on a new vendor to get a small variety of well-recognized strains that I knew I could re-order if I liked them.
4. Don't rush curing. Almost every vendor misses this. Or if you're gonna rush curing to sell faster, that's fine, just price appropriately and tell me how long it's been cured so I don't pre-judge something that just needs a bit more time in the jar.
5. Ship with humidity packs and a humidity indicator.
6. Don't force "Route" shipping nonsense. Gimmicky money-grab that passes the buck for issues and loses trust. Tracked USPS is fine for me. Tell me before I buy when you expect to drop off at USPS. Make it clear how long I should wait before contacting you if things don't show up. If you want me to wait 14 days, that's fine, just tell me up front. If your product doesn't arrive by your stated timeline, just give me store credit and move on. Make this policy/process/timeline clear and just stick by it.
7. Include the package date, strain name, sativa/indica percentage, and ideally a short strain description on the packaging.
8. Don't play games with pricing. Perhaps first-time and repeat order discounts, but I don't need points or anything. Just offer competitive pricing on a quality, vetted product. Don't sell things you're not proud of.
9. Some like "drops" that sell out fast. I don't play games like that. I buy when I'm low. Having a "drop" with a reserved amount available at a discount is fine.
10. Some level of transparency with where and when the product was grown and how it's been processed (machine/hand trimmed, cured for 30 days, etc) would be nice.
11. Arbitrary "tiers" or "shelves" of product drive me crazy. Just price it however, don't make me navigate the site by tier just to see what's out of stock.
12. Writing your own reviews and having a good voice for your products is really helpful. Tell us why you stocked it, what it's good for, and any positives or even negatives to look out for. Hopefully these reviews/descriptions help me understand the value for money proposition.
13. Budget vendors selling $100/oz have burned me once or twice by not really saying why the price is so much lower. If it's only $100/oz, please tell me why you're selling it and don't just put it next to $400/oz products with nearly identical details pages. If it's muted, has mild effects, isn't super well-trimmed, isn't fully cured, was over-watered, went a bit to seed, or whatever, that's fine, just tell me. "This is cheap because it's muted and some went to seed, but it'd make great edibles at double concentration." Or just don't sell the low-end budget options, that's fine, there's other vendors for that.
14. Put stickers in the shipping box. I'm a sucker for them. But that's just me.
15. Nothing wrong with engaging the community authentically on Reddit. This community is super sensitive to astroturfing and shills, but I like a vendor that is transparent and actually participates in a conversation honestly and without deflecting.

Trust I have looked and I can’t find it. What are the trusted vendors. I used w”in”c but they burned me on an order. No fault on them but still looking for someone new. High Teehca is normally what I buy. Who are the go to’s for quality and customer service.

how much disty will 2mgs of terps make for a nice strong flavor
