Well if you have been reading reviews, you may notice this as my second, mostly because the first 1 that I send didn't quite cover how great this Lil hole in the wall up Hawthorne(maybe a block east of new seasons hawthorne.
OK first off, I have now (since oct. 1st) been in and out and very inquisitive w/ staff, of around ten dispensaries.
*****Portland canna connection*****
Gets me on an extremely long commute, as I have tried so many locations now, pretty much all in a closer vacinity, but I will take that extra half hour to get my flowers from Ptld.canna.conn.
These guys have the flowers that I want, and their main grower(s) do it a lot like I did, maybe that why I like em so much.... the other thing that stands out like a sore thumb w/ their flowers, are that they grow so many of my fav. Strains that I have grown in the past, a lot of TGA subcool. They"re my jam. Try them yourself (I'm sure they would be more than glad to point out which ones are subcool. i.e. "Jesus og", "agent orange" N.w. fav "Cynex", which I'm not sure if they have in stock now, is produced w/ subs' vortex × Cindy '99(Cindy a strain that subcool utilizes in breeding.
They have some good old flavors and terpins that I'm used to from back in growing days, where i ordered/tried single seeds and usually finding a killer mama every few months, and tried +/- 10 to 12 different plants every few months.. quite unorthodox, I know, but I've always enjoyed Horticulture, and have ever an ever changing palate
Portland canna connection seems to be on the same page as I was when I grew, and consumed lots more. Now my 3 main objectives w/ great flowers are simple. An 3)an ever changing menu from the hands of a skilled grower 2) and 1) are tough to decide upon, but probably terpines/long lasting flavor.
So many of these other shops are, cheesy lobby i.d. followed by I'd at register, and even when shop is dead they are I'm a rush, become rude very quickly. take themselves a bit too seriously, and that's enuff to drive me out the door I'm spending a lot of money, treat me like a human, pick my flowers etc. Like P.c.c has done for me. The last thing I'll say is that they seem to have some1 who knows their growin/trimmin/perfect amt of curing, so u get that max. Taste/smell/ and perfect dry, that's probably my biggest pet-peave of all these other joints using lg plastic ridiculous oversized containers. And they take the contain tanner you wanna look at, and shake it really hard. Oversized containers create over dry grassy smelling bud. Not at Portland canna conn.
