This patient returned to the dispensary after a long time away after the reappearance of Unbiased Opinion on the menu. Having bought most of the Mission menu in the past, I can say that the Unbiased Opinion was the best bud they had to offer, a true flagship strain, and I was excited to try the new batch. I purchased two 8ths for about $50 dollars, thanks to the points I had saved, and I feel like I got what I paid for: opening one jar the aroma was weak, far less assertive than batches in the past I had bought, some months old at the time of purchase. Flat, one dimensional aroma. Dumping the buds on the table I was greeted with several sorry looking, stringy, stemmy buds- lots of bones without a ton of meat- immature and thin, scraggly. One bud was ripped completely in half so the jar could make weight. Why not just select a smaller bud, rather than ruining a whole one? The second jar fared just as well, I'm afraid. If this patient is going to come back for more, there needs to be major changes here. Dropping the prices without remedying quality issues is insulting to the patient and consumer. Musty, dusty, dry, lifeless cannabis here, even with the reappearance of their Mission 'exclusive' strain. If this strain is one they hang their hat on, I'm not even going to bother reacquainting myself with the rest of the menu. Thanks for listening.

As a patient relatively new to the menu, I've enjoyed what I've purchased here for the most part. Recently I can't help but notice that a few strains I bought weeks ago for 50 dollars are now being sold under a different brand and for an increased price? Am I to understand this is the same in-house weed simply repackaged and marked up because of re-branding? How many other in-house strains is the company planning on selling under the new Seed and Strain brand? A little more information about what's happening rather than just changing the menu would be nice. Really curious to see how Patriot Care's menu change in the future.
