**Shipping/Packaging**
Came in the standard three days from Vancouver to Toronto and packaged in a CP bubble mailer. Everything was vacuum sealed with no apparent odour and only one of the strains came slightly squished, most likely in transit.

Double Barrel OG

Never heard of this strain, which is a cross of White Fire OG x Raskals OG Kush, but it's named fittingly as it definitely hits like a double barrel shotgun. The nugs are real sticky & dense with plenty of greasy trichs and darker orange hairs. Bit of leaf here and there but nothing too substantial given it's a kush. Quite sticky and needed to use the grinder on this one.
The aroma coming off these buds are a combination of pungent gas with diesel and earthy notes. Bit of a pine in there too with very familiar and plesant og aromas. Translates really well to taste with an earthy and kushy exhale that is quite gassy. Fairly smooth for such a thick and heavy smoke, although it does pack a punch to the chest. Burns pretty clean though, leaving behind a light gray ash.
The high hits hard and hits quick, specifically behind the eyes, producing a real pressure and tingliness. Really does the name justice. Heady and uplfiting too with a relaxing, yet functional body buzz. Quite the potent stuff and I can smoke this during the day with out a problem as it's not much of a sedating smoke. Wicked strain that I would seek out to try again in the future.

Haven't had a chance to try this strain before but for the most part it seems like a concoction of northern lights as it contains at least 4 phenos in it's genetics. They are all involved through it's lineage as it includes afghani, hashplant, northern lights and Canadian Ortega. This bud came in a conical structure, sporting deep purple hues with reddish orange hairs. Slightly dense and frosty, with a nice stickiness all throughout. Trim is decent too with majority of its leaf being at the base.
A nose and taste that is real similar to a death bubba in my opinion. Pungent and kushy with notes of earth and spice. Real pleasant, as is the exhale, which leaves a sweet kushy and earthy flavour on the pallet. Thick smoke but real smooth and easy on the lungs. Burns clean too with a light grey ash.
The high is straight indica leaning, bringing on a wave of relaxation with some headiness. Very calming too with a lazy and numbing couch lock that you can't seem to fight off. Couple bong hits in and I feel like I can doze off as soon as my head touches a pillow. Loved this for night time and it's effectively sedative.
Skookum Charlie

For so long I've been wanting to try Skookum Charlie and this batch from MJE did not disappoint. A dangerous sounding cross between LSD OG and Green Crack. These sticky buds look spectacular, having crazy amounts of full trichome heads to go along with tons of purple streaks and orange hairs. Slightly dense too, sporting a neat and tight trim.
The smell of this stuff is very lemony and citrusy with a bit of a skunky funk that lingers well over time and hits you in subtle waves after grinding. Flavorful and clean as well, producing a sweet/fruity and skunky, smoke that burns a lighter colored ash.
I love the high this strain produced and it hit pretty quick, resulting in a heavy cerebral buzz followed by a relaxing body stone. Well balanced effects that lean on the sativa side. It's also quite potent and tends to make one's mind wander. Some thought provoking flower that's perfect for daytime use.
Love Potion

This love potion had more of a plump appearance and on the denser side rather than the typical sativa long and conical structure. Also came just bit compressed making it look tighter than it probably should. Forest green in colour with a ton of winding orange hairs. Not dry or sticky but after cracking the buds open they seem to be a tad on the matured or older side with a yellowish appearance.
The smell and flavour don't seem to be affected as there are still notes of spice and citrus but a little underwhelming. Also a bit harsher than I'd like despite burning a very light ash. This is the only strain I tried I wasn't too fond of to be honest.
Potency was also decent as the rush of sativa effects kick in quickly in the form of a buzzing and hazy head high, with euphoric body effects as well. The only thing stopping me from fully enjoying this strain was the freshness and the Skookum Charlie was a much better sativa in every way.
Mary's 300mg THC Chocolate

I have a high tolerance to edibles and never really have much luck unless I eat a dosage of 400 mg or more. I decided to give half of this bar to a friend that doesn't indulge in edibles often so 150mg was a strong dosage. I didn't feel much off the 150 except a very calming effect when combined with what I smoked, while my friend felt the effects much more, with a buzzing and couch locking body stone. The chocolate also tasted very good and you can tell it was quality milk chocolate like a Hershey bar. Also very little aftertaste of weed.

**Final Notes**
Overall, a very pleasant and positive experience and a chance to try three really good strains I haven't had before. I spoke to the two very friendly guys that run the site, Justin and Jon, and they explained they are more of a small batch craft dispensary rather than bulk. They also went on to explain that for this reason they will always make sure to have a fresh batch of a certain strain from growers they are personally close with. Very good to know and a smart way of running shop rather than having so much of a strain in stock. Enjoyed reviewing them very much indeed and would gladly go back in the future.
