Herbal Dispatch review
MOM Name Herbal Dispatch (www.herbaldispatch.ca)
Overall rating out of 10: 7/10 (could change, have not tried all samples yet)
Sign Up: Sign up was simple, no fuss. An ID was required when an order was placed.
Ordering & Pricing: Only thing I did not like is how slow their site is, especially on my phone. It's really not fluid, but still usable. They have a really nice selection of products, including sample packs (1g bags of different strains).
Communication: Fast and efficient, no complains there. Asked a favor for them to make sure the samples were fresh (as in, not dry as sandpaper) and they kind of brushed it off, but the samples received were fresh, so no complaints :)
Packaging: A bit overkill but very professional. The outside had a bubble mailer, in which there was a padded yellow envelope, in which there was a sturdy cardboard box that was sealed inside two layers of vacuum bags. Inside the box was a hash gram in a cute little plastic round box, inside a tiny zip bag, and a 10g satica sample pack inside a big zip bag, each strain in it's own little zip bag with a sticker indicating the strain. The cardboard box had a government label indicating the contents are medical grade marijuana. Overall, awesome packaging, absolutely zero smell until I went past the vacuum sealed bags.

1 gram of Moroccan hash: I took a chance with that one, as my first and previous MOM order contained 4 different types of hash that were all absolutely terrible. I'm very happy to say this one did not disappoint at all. I will not be able to provide a photo, as I rolled the whole gram in a single joint (no tobacco) and smoked it in two sessions. The smell of this hash fresh was amazing, exactly what I expect from Moroccan... Hard and dry as a rock, again as expected for Moroccan. The taste was also absolutely amazing, some real classic Moroccan hash like the one I used to smoke back in the 90's (import). I assume this is import too. As for the buzz I was quite pleasantly surprised, I got a strong buzz out of this which is unusual for Moroccan and the high lasted a good 3 hours. This hash provoked a strong urge to sleep on the way down, so don't expect to smoke this as a day treat, it drains you of all energy. 9/10 on this one, really nice find, will order again for sure.

Not a big fan of the smell or taste on this one. It's very mellow and pleasant to smoke, no coughing, smooth as silk, but the taste is a bit bland. Not bad though, it's still pretty decent overall. The fresh smell was somewhat similar, tasted potent, but not particularly good to my taste. I would not order it again, but it's still good quality weed. I give this one a 7.5/10 overall.
Update: Buzz lasted approx 2 hours, not very strong, but a happy mellow buzz.

Another smooth one, but it does have a bit of a throat spike when you take a big buff. The fresh scent is interesting, it smells very different from any other weed I smoked. Not particularly pungent, smells a bit earthy, tiny bit of pine. The tasted when smoked was pretty smooth, but nothing special. There isn't much interesting going on taste-wise, but it's still pleasant to smoke. Buzz lasted about 2 hours, good happy buzz, nothing remarkable. I'm giving this one a 7.5/10 as well.

As you can see from the pictures, I got a pretty bad dice throw on the contents of my 1g... 4 tiny buds, all dry as sandpaper. There wasn't much smell to this grinding it and smoking it was pretty faint. I think the sample is just too bad to make proper judgement, I had good expectations for this, it being one of the top strains of leafly and very often recommended on here and reddit.
So anyways, the taste was faint and bland, which is not totally bad news because it means it was also very smooth on the throat and pretty nice to smoke. I had a hard time detecting any terps in there.
The buzz is a bit of a creeper, as I was smoking it I was noticing how I wasn't really getting any buzz. It's been a few minutes since I stopped now and the buzz is increasing still. It's strong and clean, I really like it, possibly one of the best buzz I had on weed in a long time. Vision is affected, but no hallucinations per say, I feel energized. Very nice!
Giving it a 7/10 overall note, given the sample.
Super Sour Haze: https://imgur.com/a/5NsJx
This was a strange one. It has close to no smell fresh, even ground up. Once I lit the joint it felt just as tasteless, it's almost like smoking hot air. There is a slight creamy after taste that is not unpleasant. This is the smoothest weed I ever smoked, you can take huge tokes and there is zero cough or spike.
The buzz was nice and energetic, but not very long, after about an hour I was barely feeling it anymore. Giving this a 7/10, I like my weed smooth and pungent, this is too subtle for my taste.

Pretty plain smelling and tasting, not particularly smooth or harsh... Pretty average strain, nothing stands out really. Buzz is nice but not very strong, good mix of head and body high. Giving this a 6.5/10.

This one is something special. This is the best flower from this pack so far. I have a hard time defining the smell and taste for this one. It doesn't smell super good but at least it does smell. The taste is nice although more earthy/spicy than any anything else, with no sweetness or creaminess, kinda like a dry white wine. What really sets it apart is how hard it hits, damn, it's a powerhouse. I got really stoned from a very small joint. It also made me very sleepy, eyes blood red. Went to sleep on it and I was still feeling it in the morning. Solid buzz, potent stuff and pretty enjoyable to smoke, despite it's somewhat bland taste. 8/10 for this one.

First time knowingly smoking a high CBD strain. The fresh smell of this is interesting, very grassy but subtle notes of berries. Once smoked though it gets real strange, had lots of chemical hints, the most noticeable was chlorine, kind of like indoor swimming pool smell. Not unpleasant, but just strange. It was pretty harsh on the throat if I took big puffs, it was a bit spicy and would tingle the throat hard. Small puffs were smooth. The buzz was light and uneventful, short. Can't say the CBD did anything for me. Had a slight back pain from a long day at work and it didn't change anything to it. Giving this a 6/10.
Russian Concorde: photo soon
This sample was extremely dry. The smell of this is not bad at all, very faint though. Smoking it was special, it's spicy/peppery, it's a pretty distinctive but faint smell. It's not harsh per say, but the pepper tones are strong so it's hard to keep it too long, it tickles. Can't really comment too much on the buzz, been chain smoking different stuff tonight, lol. 6/10 but it loses points for dryness, I bet this is pretty nice when a bit fresher.
Green Crack: photo soon
Wow this one packs a punch, just smoked a small joint and I'm baked! The fresh smell out of the bag was pretty uneventful, faint smell. Grinding it it opened up a bit, smelled pretty good but still not very strong. Smoking it the smoke overtook the faint terpenes and it mostly tasted like smoke only, not very smooth but not harsh either. Wasn't very enjoyable to smoke... The buzz is what shines here, very nice buzz. 7/10.

First impressions: I did not smoke any of these yet. They all look pretty amazing! Some are a bit leafy but I can live with that. Each and every sample still has just the right amount of humidity (not dry, not damp, slight humid/grass smell unless you open up the bud --- exactly how I like it). Some of them have a pretty unique smell, I can't wait to taste them!
*** I will update this post with pictures of each strain and my impressions of each as I smoke them. ***
Incentive for Customers: There was a 4/20 sale on several products including the sativa pack which was 10% off. I also found a 25% coupon code on Google which I used, ended up being quite a bargain.
Incentive for Review: I systematically review all I buy, no incentive from the MOM itself that I know of.
Notes: This MOM was recommended by a member here and I'm very satisfied with it, thanks @phlups
