So I’ve been using Cresco 510 cartridges for a while, best ones I’ve found at my dispensary. They’ve started selling cartridges under their High Supply line now too, and I’m not quite sure I like how. The one I picked up is labeled “Dank Mountain”, although I would’ve said “Mountain Dank” as I’m fairly sure they’re going for a Mountain Dew taste. Very fruity. The website and packaging gave no indication as to what the flavor was suppose to be, again just “Mountain Dank” and the THC content, which are usually 60-70% as opposed to the Cresco ones at 70-90%.
I didn’t know what to think about them, but yesterday I gambled and got one. Hits just the same, flavor is clearly less natural and more suited to the general pallet if that makes sense. My mother, who isn’t a fan of anything dank or really weedy at all, liked it. The high from it is odd. Very clean. I know I’m high but not sedated, my heart is pumping quickly but I am not overly aware of it. It’s not great, it’s just good, but that’s ok.
But the real question I’m still left with is about their marketing. I feel almost offended in some way that it’s reduced, in my mind, medicine and the variety of natural properties of various terpenes to marketing flavors. I choose my medicine based on taste/smell because I have found, for whatever reason, certain terpene profiles tend to be on plants that give me better relief.
Maybe I’m just over reacting; what do you guys think? Yes this is a recreational brand, but not every person looking for medical relief is knowledgeable. I’m not 100% sure how I knowledgeable the people behind the counter are.
