This is not what I expected my first review to be regarding, but thanks to certain vendors' conduct, we find ourselves in this situation.
A recent encounter with a batch of hash from THE GREEN TEAM has prompted a review, and it's essential to bring to light some concerning issues.
All 8 hashes from this vendor exhibited an unmistakable, yet unusual, cherry-like fragrance that oddly resembled the scent of Deep Heat Rub.
To add to the situation, a striking homogeneity prevailed across these products. There was virtually no variations or distinction in terms of scent, taste, or effects. Any differences appeared marginal, at best. This is essentially one single batch of hash; with random flavours and arbitrary names attached
Those who have rated these products above a 1/10 seem to lack an appreciation for the importance of quality and safety in cannabis consumption. Out of 65 reviews on the pick'n mix, 12 complain of the smell or potential additives. That's 20%.
Of particular concern is the reviews by other consumers - when they attempted to dissolve this hash in hot water, it left behind a red dye. This shouldn't happen as a cannabis concentrate should typically be oil-based and should not dissolve in water, let alone leave a colored residue. Even when I endeavored to dissolve it in 99.99% isopropyl alcohol, the presence of an unexpected and contaminated residue was apparent. It suggests that this hash has potentially been adulterated, perhaps intentionally tainted with terpenes, or more likely vape juice.
This falls short of the quality standards one would expect from TGT, any reputable vendor or street dealer. What is even more disconcerting is that the vendor seems to be aware of the contamination issue and has persisted in listing these products, going as far as creating a pick-and-mix deal to expedite sales.
The vendor bears the responsibility of temporarily delisting all related products and conducting rigorous testing to ascertain the purity & safety of their merchandise and issuing a notice.
The ethos of this forum centers around harm prevention, and the intentional sale of adulterated products such as these contravenes the core principles of our community.
This is not the quality of product I was introduced to. The quality of the vendor's products has noticeably declined, and there is a need to reinstate the previous high standards or further fallout will ensue.
