1. Big Roo - legend of the lil biggy, whose milkshake bars bring to the boys (and gals) to the yard. Honestly pal you make this place worth checking into even when you've got nothing to spend, and for that alone the respect on the name is plain.
2. Thoroughly approve of the sort of tidied up train of thought style - it's very engaging, very natural, so it pulls you along super organically. It's lovely, because often ganja reviews feel weirdly out of step with the vibe of consuming and enjoying cannabis: aspiring to rigid convention with the deployment of numeric ratings - which, frankly, mean fuck all - and segmenting the review into the arenas of aroma, flavour, and effect (my favourite is aesthetic. Like, yes, I can see it too. There are pictures. It's good for the blind though so I do support the inclusion. And tbf pictures get sent back to 2008 here so descriptions can be helpful) - each of which frequently get equal weighting and word count.... As if effects aren't fundamentally all that matter?? I've bought plenty of bud that smelled and tasted glorious, but did close to fuck all.... idfk.
3. As a budget bugger I feel seen, which is kinda uncommon and therefore pleasant. And I would too concur that +£10-14 is a worthwhile investment for 14g of good vs 14g of, naturally, very mixed quality product. Not that a mystery bucket isn't a fucking bucket of fun, because it is, especially if you enjoy the aromatic aspects but don't mind digging deep to unearth a terp or two.
4. I'd also suggest that specifically these kinds of takes are really important to share here: it's tricky for any one of us to get a read on the market, unless you have endless $ to pitch. It's all too easy to make disappointing decisions when seeking to scrimp a little, because you can only really know the level of quality you can achieve at differing price brackets by dropping hot wads of cash moneys, repeatedly. And even then you can probably never really know anything - phenotypes; 6x potency variance in tops vs bottoms, etc etcetc - but any little guidance is better than unprotected prodding at unknown orifices. Or, and I'm just saying... Or, those with sincerely-considered reference points referring to them in their reviews. Rather than the ultra-casual, oblique and fucking ambiguous "good shit", et al - just tell me what you know! Is it better or worse than similarly priced gear? That's the gold right there - and Big Roo digged it up. What a good egg.
5. And, lo! An authentic, not-uncritical review! The holy fucking grail. Another feather in your cap matey.
6. I'd support (emotionally if not especially financially... soz) a Big Roo Review Fund to enable more (and tbqh longer, still) reviews (- I'd read em!)
Come on boys and girls, get him back down the review mines - deep in the dank, where he belongs!!
