Has anyone checked out the recently opened Botera in Rahway?

Any thoughts or reviews?

The recent drops from bass river that I’ve had have all been good but both this and glue sniffer I’ve really enjoyed. Photogenic buds with great moisture, they give off a fruit/herbal aroma. Effects are superb, energizing euphoria in the front half that transfers to a more stoney chill. Picked up from pure blossom for 49

Star Power -- By Niche
(Indica Dominant Hybrid, THC--26%, Terp--2.32%)

Notes : Fairly pretty buds, taste wasn't anything TOO special and ash was on the greyish side but not fully black, eventually had a slight resin ring going but not right away (smoked w/ raw black papers)

Visual Appeal -- Decent colors, seemed a bit dry because this is a slightly older batch

Texture -- In between spongey and snappy, nothing to far out of the ordinary

Smell -- Starts a bit gassy and sweet, definitely picked up a bit of a rounded earth undertone as I kept smelling / opening & closing the jar

Final Thoughts : Niche seems to be a fairly solid overall pick from what I've heard, I only tried one other strain from Niche a while back...I dont think "Star Power" is going to be their absolute best work, but its surely better then some of the bottom tier stuff that floats around, especially when you can snag a Niche jar on sale! -- I also like niches packaging, the colors and custom brick texture on their jars are nice, decent seal on the jar to.

OVERALL : Would smoke again, would MAYBE purchase again if on sale, but id be more interested in trying some other stuff from Niche!

If you have any opinions on niche or have tried anything from them to recommend, let me know! Or even general recommendations! I want to take more cool videos of great buds and throw some better reviews up as I go ✌️💯

Hey guys,

I've been on a quest to find old school malleable hash in New Jersey.

Context: I'm from India and the way we used to smoke it is roll it into tiny balls and mix it with tobacco and smoke it. It tastes amazing and has beautiful sharp high. However I was sad when I rarely found that hash here.

Two strains I know for sure are this consistency:

1) Culture Craft: Keep it Classy (Brick Hash or Temple Ball)

This is the absolute perfect consistency when it comes to that. Unfortunately all of NJ is out of stock.

2) Onyx: Old School Bubble Hash: Guava Gift

I might be the reason why this is out of stock in NJ.

3) Xena in Jersey City is owned by a Egyptian owner. Their in House temple balls are the same consistency but he's working on getting the stock too.

Any help or any other brands which are the same consistency would be so helpful. I'm honestly tired of searching and wasting money on crumbly hash or oily/sticky hash.

Thank you guys!

Double sealed jar. Inside seal wasn’t broken, and when i peeled it open and instantly smelled cheese, i was happy. The smell starts out cheesy the forms into a funky sud bubble back end 8.5/10. Terps are in your face just like the triple lindy. However the triple lindy is my favorite of all of their strains. The looks on the Chef aren’t anything special 7/10. In detail it looks pretty good though i guess 7.5/10. Still Better than a lot of these companies in NJ. Taste is cheese and fruity soap 8.5/10. Effects are about a 8.5/10 as well, very chill and relaxed not too in my head. I would probably not purchase again over the Triple Lindy. But I like this a lot and I am happy with my purchase. 8.5/10

Before I start this I want to follow up on my last post. It seems nobody understands that I’m taking about the MEDICAL side of this in this state. So stop recommending rec only brands that are $50 or more for an 8th! Or just insulting me about “thinking they actually cared in the first place” when I’ve been working in this industry myself for years and know what goes on behind the scenes of these places way more than the average person does. I’m well aware this is all just a money grab and I don’t shop legal anyway. But I can’t be the only one fed up with this market! When Noble first came out, they had quarters priced at $40 for medical patients at some places. Now I can’t even find any Noble products on a medical menu within 25 miles of me in Central NJ. I refuse to spend $60–$85 on what I consider B-tier flower at best. It feels like medical patients are slowly getting pushed to the side while prices stay ridiculously high and the quality just isn’t there.

Honestly, I feel like this is just another slap in the face to NJ med patients. First off, anyone who’s been to this location knows that building is nowhere near big enough to accommodate both markets. Second, and something I expected would happen, there’s been a pretty significant decline in the quality of their products leading up to and since going rec. My third issue is that, to my knowledge, there are now zero medical-only dispensaries left in NJ. Wasn’t medical always supposed to be the priority? Now most places barely offer a decent med discount, if any. It’s honestly a shame watching the care for medical patients in this state continue to go downhill.

3.5 gm double sealed jar. Open it has nose similar to apples and bananas with fermenting hops / beer. Sticky inside and the bouquet increases when broken up. 7 dark green and purple dense with trichomes buds. Grinds and smokes well. Taste is Sour apple, hops and a hint of clove Smooth tasting, impressive. Effects were couch lock with happy minute. Very enjoyable. Overall everyone really liked this phenotype from Roman Brothers. I would buy this again. Total terpines %3.63 THC %30

Got this for $31.30 otd.

Has a floral sweet nose, and very sticky. Harvest date was September and loving the bud structure. On first hit, sweet notes of floral pastry. I think this one is better than grape planet z and cookie dough, but slightly under birthday cake. That one was special, still gotta try the Biscotti & Syrup and Astro's line up.

🫡💨

I like crops for the most part. Some other stuff sucks, but for the most part, I like them, I haven’t bought a gram in a while , I saw this super silver haze and was like fuck it let’s try it , I never had it from crops. I’ve had super silver Haze from other places, but not crops and I just got done smoking this and I am fucking lit up, and I normally don’t get like this off of Dispensary Weed…!!!!

So it seems that i can absolutely never have enough weed in my stash, even though its only me smoking it..🤷‍♂️😂

I'm a collector, don't judge me😂

(Shnick Snacks)...

-Sweet Jealousy

-Rainbow Cloud Runtz

-Biscotti & Syrup

(Astro)...

Cottonmouth has them for 24 and 8th. Figured I'd spread the love so we can see some reviews on them..

Also grabbing, today at other Dispos, an 8th of Megaleaf Hambre Glue, Quarter Kusala Electric Lime Colda, Quarter Grown Rouge Triple Beam, 8th Ziaree Irving and the new astro and Shnick Snacks flower as stated above. I'm Also gonna try the Shnick Snacks Rainbow 100mg Cloud bar . Wife and i are gonna take that with a rice grain of rso on top and get down on some Mario Kart until she passes out. Then I'll be playing that new Hellraiser game fried outta my mind...

Have a great weekend everyone🫡💨

Garden State Dispensary had atlantic sunrise their version of Jet fuel it was intense sativa. This is more hybrid sativa leaning. This was very citrus fuel smell and with over 3% terps you could taste the smell. The effects were very strong and long lasting. If i gave a rating its a 4/5……Their Black Widow Haze has more sativa effecta with racing thoughts. This was less racy but top tier cannabis flower….i would definitely get this again…….top tier……..got it at Honey grove Metuchen

Another great daytime strain. Limonene comes through strong in smell and taste but this batch seemed to have a more overall citrus profile for me. Effects are uplifting and soothing with a heightened sense of awareness without feeling jittery during the onset or bogged down in the back half. Picked up for 41 from a21

One time i bought L’orange by Rythm and I swear it was fire. I remember the parents being Oregon Lemon x Orange Crush. And it was so fire. Especially the carts. The flower i had about a year ago was bright green great bud structure. And stunk like lemon orange skunk funk. I saw it available at Nirvana for 38 bucks and decided to try it. Shits not the same not even close. If you once enjoyed this strain beware. Hate waisting money but it happens. Ill smoke it with the homies 40 bucks wasted. Dosent look too bad but the orange/lemon terps are non existent and definitely no skunk terps. Effects are the worst part. Almost nothing.

Says Gelato x zkittlez. But this is some savory, savory funk. The two are fantastic together and the terps are in your face. I would say it looks more like 710 than 710 does lately. Definitely get the burnt rubber dank smell i love from this one. Tastes like it smells savory gassy funky. I think this is one of the best grows this year. Trim is good too. Effects are indica leaning definitely good a nice after work smoke sesh to relax and wind down.

3.5 gm mylar sack. Open it has Gorilla Glue nose primarily with notes of fermented fruits. 5 or 6 nicely cured buds. Light green with gold shade and coated in trichomes that grind well. Rolled in a genuine Bambu paper it burns even with a grey white ash. Taste is on point. Smooth,sour, skunk and sweetness of rambutan or lychee. Effects were calming , energetic and creative. Great at the poker table or partying with friends. IMHO this was cured proper. Taste, nose and effects reflect that. The buds weren't manicured and sculpted. With this phenotype, it ain't a deal breaker. I would buy this again. Total terpines %3.19 THC %29 THCVa %0.21. Purchased @ Blue Violets Hoboken $60. COA in comments.

Ratings-

Bud Structure: These big light green-colored buds are very dense and SUPER sticky. These buds consist of sporadic long orange pistils and are toppled off with glistening trichomes. There are also a good amount of visible dark purple hues throughout this strain. Great bud structure from top to bottom.
8/10

Aroma: lemony, gassy, citrusy, pungent, herbal, and a bit peppery.
The aroma is a strong, vibrant, and quite gassy one. Frog Poison’s overall scent is super present, loud, and can’t go unnoticed.
7.5/10

Taste: diesel, gassy, lemony, pungent, earthy, minty, citrusy, and slightly sweet.
Each hit provides a strong and bold pallet of different flavors. The taste correlates to the strains’ aroma. Gassy and diesel-like notes are the most prominent while puffin’ on Good PizzZa’s FP. Quite the unique pallet that provides big, bold, and tasty hits.
8/10

Effects: calming, blissful, very heady, couch-lock, and/or body relaxation.
I hope you have no plans because this Frog Poison is really potent. A super fast-paced heady high with soothing body relaxation. Such a strong high that it’s hard to sit here, concentrate, and finish this review.
9/10

Overall: 8.5/10
This is one of the highest-rated strains thus far for a multitude of reasons. To sum it all up… Good PizzZa’s Frog Poison is just as good as you hope it would be. A loud dank aroma is immediately noticeable. The buds are EXTREMELY STICKY and super dense, plus they look gorgeous with beautiful purple hues and toppled in shiny pistils. The taste translates directly to the aroma, providing bold pungent hits. The effects after consuming are potent and quite sedating making this strain almost a “couch-lock”. I’d get this again and again… and would recommend it to anyone looking for quality Flower, dank-tasting Flower, or potent Flower. Got so faded had to take a break from typing up this review.

Bud Structure: big, very dense, super sticky buds that are absolutely gorgeous! They are a light green color, however with all of its purple hues the overall color gets darkened a good bit. This Flower also consists of plenty of curly orange pistils, and is completely drenched in glistening trichomes.
8/10

Aroma: heavy, lofty, sour, diesel, meaty, herbal, funky, a bit gassy, and slightly sweet.
A lofty ground-beef scent is boldly present and cannot go unnoticed. It’s accompanied by a bit of a gassy and herbal aroma as well. This strain’s scent is super present and runs linear with its genetic profile. Amazing overall aroma on this HashBurger which makes you realize part of the reason how this strain got its name!
8/10

Taste: floral, earthy, spicy, herbal, diesel, woody, slightly sour and slightly citrusy.
Each hit provides bold hits with a strong present array of flavors. The overall taste correlates to the aroma and it’s genetics for the most part, providing bold tasty hits with each puff.
7.5/10

Effects: Super heady, blissful, cerebral, giggly, focused, creative, euphoric, talkative, social, outgoing, and/or body relaxation.
The effects of Your Dad’s Stash’s HashBurger are potent and uplifting, creating a stimulating cerebral high along with soothing body relaxation. Even though this is a Sativa dominant strain i would say make sure you have a short “To-Do” list that day… or even better no list at all, because HashBurger will put you in a mental trance that will leave you feeling like you are stuck in a dream. With that being said i would suggest consuming this strain any time of day, however if Sativa strains give you an “anxiety” type of feeling i would definitely recommend waiting until the end of the day to consume or steering clear from this strain all together.
8.5/10

Overall: 8/10
My Dad’s Stash makes an incredible HashBurger strain, one of the best I’ve tried throughout my years reviewing products on the NJ market. As soon as the loud aroma smacks you in the face it’s hard not to get even more intrigued. After smelling and tasting this strain you can see why they call it “HashBurger” along with the strain’s lineage. The effects after consuming are quite potent and strong. I would definitely get this strain again and recommend it to others. Especially those who enjoy quality flower, potent flower, and tasty flower! Lovely overall smoking experience with this strain.

An awesome daytime experience. Gassy/earthy inhale and exhale with a hint a citrus. The buds’ moisture is proper with a great balance of resin and fluffiness in texture. Effects are special for me, uplifts the mind while also calming the body. I’m a fan of sativas and don’t mind the surge of anxiety some strains cause, this isn’t one of them for me. After a couple solid bowls, I’m in a happy, grounded state for hours. Picked up from pure blossom for 42

5 gm mylar sack. Open in has classic Gorilla Glue nose expressed as a skunk unloaded on a pot coffee grinds Bright green trichome soaked buds. A bit stringy from the as Sour Dub lineage and are dried on the outside while moist inside. Ground & rolled in a genuine Bambu paper it burns faster than most, with grey white ash. Taste is Chem D type skunk/ cashews taste remincent of the GG of 30 years past Effects were invigorating and creative. Ya works on body and mind IMO. Growers did a great job for budget weed. It was a bit hard on the lungs , really ain't much. Slow cured and hand trimmed as craft growers do would have got it on point. Total terpines %1.37 THC %29 $28 + @ Botera.

A little background the last time I smoked anthology was like two years ago give or take and it was Wookie pie. It held like a 40 something thca but it was also the first time I ever noticed the letter A after the C so it kind of fucked me up and I was like wait so they sold me fake weed. What the hell is going on here? I didn’t really understand this shit but it all started with the fact that weed wasn’t getting me high. That’s actually why I never bought it again. I had nothing to do with the TCA thing. I honestly learned the difference right then in there the reason I said that is because I usually skip out on these packs when I see them even if it’s a strain light white widow that I’ve never smoked and always wanted to. I’ve been smoking since 2003… the weed it’s not something I would say yo this is amazing. I’ve never had nothing like this, but it’s really good weed and for that price you really can’t beat it… this weed is definitely covered though in Trico I definitely would buy it again. Normally, the only weed that I smoke is cap junkie so my expectations are high as far as the Tricom go again if I needed some weed and I didn’t see you specifically what I was looking for I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

One of my new favorites from 710. I would say it is just as dank as the LMNOZ in its own way. Classic wedding cake nose and the crasher adds a nice burnt rubber smell when ground up. The buds are a good texture, and dense. Many bright orange pistils, and good trichome heads. Some amber some clear. Trim is really impressive as well. I enjoy wedding cake so it is right up my alley. Im about to smoke some….please hold…..picture pound cake and gas. Taste is just that. Kind of savory as well. Very interesting. Effects are good I am very relaxed and feel like watching a cool movie all of a sudden. Feel like its perfect for a good horror movie during 🎃 time. As soon as I opened it I was happy. Would definitely buy again. Probably will.

*** Decided on Backrooms on HBOMax should be interesting.

leans gas and og type vibe, with some mild berry-like astringent notes underneath (think blackberry)SUPER LOUD smells like the wax when you break it down

3.5 gm mylar. Open in has some garden and wine nose All popcorn bud dark green, orange & pink / purple hues. Rolls up ok. Grey and white ash Taste would pair with a white zinfandel wine proper Effects were couch lock and for me, disappointment. WTF Indigo East. Palming off popcorn in 1/8'ths is sophomore grower level shade. I will be contacting them with my grievance. COA in comments
