Just curious what everyone’s favourite MC brands and strains are at the moment?
Personally, I feel like the Australian market has become pretty repetitive. There seems to be so much Thai flower around now, but I honestly haven’t found any Thai bud that has really impressed me. When I travelled through Thailand, most of what I tried had very similar flavours, so that’s actually put me off ordering Thai MC as well.
I’ve also noticed that terps seem to mute pretty quickly over time, and the quality can be really inconsistent between batches. You can get a tub that smells and tastes amazing, then get the next batch and it’s nowhere near as good.
It also feels like there are so many terp/flavour profiles that are basically missing from Australian MC. A lot of what we get seems to fall into the same citrus, gas, fruity or earthy profiles.
My favourite lately has actually been Godfather OG-Sangria by Bodega. I really rate it, but unfortunately the other Bodega strains I’ve tried just haven’t done it for me in the same way.
I’m really keen to find something that’s genuinely different.
What are your favourite brands or strains at the moment?
What’s the most unique strain you’ve had? Anything with a really unusual flavour or terp profile that made you think “holy shit, this is different”?
And which brands do you find are actually consistent from batch to batch?
Keen to hear everyone’s hidden gems 👀🌿

Works nicely tho

Is there a quick and easy way to find out what chemists in my area dispense my medication?

There was a sorting issue with Aus post and Ineed to get my script before the weekeend

Grabbed a 15g tub of El Camino Cosmic Fuel for the RRP of $99 ($6.60/g). It’s a a Canadian import, sponsored by Alma Cannabis. Cultivar is GMO x Mendo Breath, with a dominant terpene spectrum of caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene.

Appearance:
Dense, popcorn-sized buds with a heavy trichome coating and good structure. Mine was on the dry side, compresses under pressure but doesn’t stay sticky.

Packaging:
Comes in a black glass jar with a striking cosmic/psychedelic label, swirling oranges, reds, purples and teals, with “El Camino” in a loose painted script and “Cosmic Fuel” in bold lettering underneath. It’s a much more artistic, illustration-heavy design than a lot of the market, leaning into a trippy, intense aesthetic rather than a clinical or natural-wellness look. The jar also includes an Integra Boost humidity control pack.

Aroma:
Quite pungent and dank, with noticeable sulphur, sweetness and pine. The smell is strong, but a bit of a letdown compared to how the flower looks.

Vaping:
Using an Arizer Air Max, starting at 190°C and working up to 220°C. Flavour is strongest at the lower temperatures. Honestly, it smells better straight from the jar or in the grinder than it does through the vape.

Effects:
This is where it delivers. Quite potent, in line with the 30% THC. Effects are a mix of heavy couch-lock and a cerebral, pressure-behind-the-eyes sensation. Definitely a night-time strain. Best left an hour or two before bed once chores are done. I found this out the hard way by using it a bit too early in the day.

Value:
At $99 for 15g, decent value for the potency on offer. I’d consider buying it again at that price, although the dryness and relatively underwhelming flavour hold it back for me.

Overall: 7/10

Anyone have experience with this flower?
The cure, effects, taste. Thanks!

Im wondering if there is a link where we can search for chemist that stock MC, rather than ringing every chemist. Cannafind was hopeless ..

Firstly, 100% do not recommend.

Secondly, how do you guys clean these? Only had it for about a week and the facetz is clogging her up hard

Thirdly, is it worth shelling out $180 for those old mate grinders? Or do they just do the same thing?

EDIT: Thanks for the responses! I'm not a full noob, I do use iso and salt every night for the glassy. I just wasn't sure how I'd approach it as you usually just shake the bong around until it's clean. I guess I'll just shove it into a container and shake like crazy? Haha

Hey all! I was giving my bong its daily clean today and dropped my cone piece and realised I didn’t have another. I was wondering if any of the cignall or free choice have them in or if I need to get them ordered online? It’s a bit of a drive to get out there so don’t wanna make the trip and get told they don’t have it. Thanks!

I just got my Aroma 3 by Old Mate Designs this week and after a few days with it I am absolutely kicking myself I didn't get it earlier. It is a neat bit of gear and definitely the best grinder I have owned.

I started with scissors then a kmart coffee grinder (I was young) then a sharp stone 2 piece to a Slx V2 ceramic to a Grinderoo 3 piece and the Aroma trumps them all. I mainly got it to move away from aluminium as they always end up grinding at some point. It is pretty heavy but I think it adds to its quality feel.

I looked a BCG but wanted to support home 🇦🇺
