I have been shopping at the BC Cannabis Store in my area for some time now. My purchases include various strains of flowers and concentrates mostly. On occasion, I have had some dry bud but mostly it has been fine. I use a vaporizer and make edibles mostly with the flower after it is decarbed. In relation to the effect of the products, they seem just fine, and I have been a medical cannabis user for a long time and recreational before that. Price-wise, I don't know what people complain about, I find the prices fair. They often have sales on where you can get good deals. I frequently get 1/2 oz and 1 oz for $10.00 - $20.00 cheaper than compared to other retailers.
The prices they charge are outrageous and then you add the high taxes & shipping, this is a total rip off. There are some great dispensaries out there with good prices, excellent customer service and most times free delivery (bloomshop.co) It's clear that the BC store is run by those that don't care and don't know much about the products as well as them being way too expensive.
I'll stick with my dispensary.
It’s no wonder illegal cannabis businesses are thriving like never before. After reading these reviews it appears the gov’t products only appeal to the uninformed and inexperienced, and even their numbers are dropping.
I went to Pacificanna in fairfield plaza in victoria and was accosted by the manager for questioning the price of the weed. He was impolite and abusive during the conversation. Than he chased me down to the bank where I was doing a withdrawal and continued to be abusive. This happened on wed the 16 of Dec 2020. Never go there unless you wish a horrible shopping experience.
So, at the BC Weed Store, stick to BC producers. Pot produced in other provinces is dried up, tasteless, garbage. A really good option is anything from Pure Sunfarms. They have a 100/OZ option that is better than anything I've ever bought from dispensaries in Vancouver. It's always a different(but good)strain, They just call it "Indica", or "Sativa". Good job BC Pot Overlords, you're on the right track, sort of.
Like everyone else, the weed I bought from BC Cannabis Store online has been low quality, dried out and overpriced on every occasion. Don’t expect any customer service from them either. Once you pay your money you take your chances, if you get screwed it’s “too bad sucker”. Trust the government to screw this up as only government can. I now support First Nations’ dispensaries and so-called black market online dispensaries for much better quality & prices, free shipping AND freebies which are unthinkable for government. Phase two of Canadian cannabis legalization should be actual legalization of this plant where those who actually know what they are doing can compete against corporate greed and corruption so the buyers get their money’s worth, which I thought was a right in Canada.
Having given BC Cannabis Store numerous chances to get it right, they have been an abysmal failure. I do NOT recommend buying anything from them as you can most certainly do better elsewhere with ease and actual customer service.
Ordered 3.5g of Orange Cookie and when I received it and opened the container it was complete dried out, not an ounce of moisture left. Looked like old weed that had been sitting out. Packaging date on side said Feb 10 2020. So 4 months old. A little disappointed since I like to vape it. If your going to make all the dispensaries around town that sell fresh weed close, then I expect better quality to come out of this store.
Old dry weed. The one package I got was from 2018 (currently 2020) The last two I got the seal had gone bad and turned yellow. Smelt funny and tasted disgusting and caused me to die. Don’t purchase here... horrible quality
I purchased 2 eighths, on 2 separate occasions, so 4 different strains. Thoroughly disappointing. Not one of the four was close to what I get from a real dispensary. Dry as dust, no smell, and due to its age low potency and a real burn-out effect. As much as I want my government to succeed in this endeavor, and to support legalization, I wont shop here....ever.
Wow, driest weed ever! I've placed a few orders and every single time the weed has been bone dry and of hit and miss quality even if it had been fresh. Looking at the "packed on" date, it's beyond stunning to see dates that are anywhere from 10 - 14 months in the past. And the prices are far far higher than they should be for the quality (or lack thereof) of the product they are selling. The province of BC is the worst weed dealer I've ever encountered. Even worse than the homeless dude that lived in the cemetery on campus and sold weed out of his tent, that was A1 stuff compared to this junk. Right on back to the black market for me; the legal stuff is just too low quality, too stale, and too expensive :-( Get it together government!
You take what they give you. As someone who hasn't smoked in 30 years, I decided to try it to see if it helped some health issues. So I bought 3 strains, one high THC, one balanced, and one high CBD. all were dry on arival. Another thing is strains. I am using leafly to researce strains. None of the strains match. In fact, I went to reorder Warlock from them, and it's now a high THC strain, but my package says balanced?
As most of the shops in my 'hood have closed and as a mama, online shopping makes life easier, I thought I would give the gov't site a try. Disappointed to say the least. While ordering was easy and discreet and my package arrived 36 hours after I ordered it, the quality and packaging was terrible. I ordered 10g in total and all the buds are dry and brittle and 6 & 9 months old (they show the packaged-on date). I was going to attempt the return process but the fact that you must send it back and they can decide not to refund it makes me thing I should just cut my losses and never order again. Better bad weed than no weed and I just blew my $100 budget ordering enough to make the $8 shipping charge worth it. I think I'll be bussing to my nearest store instead. The convenience of this online store simply isn't worth the poor quality product and expense.
I’ve made four orders to date from here now. 90% of what I recurved was dry, but was still very good in my opinion. Everything smelled amazing, and tasted just like the smell. All around I felt amazing, exactly how described by Leafly, of the strains I got. I will continue to order high CBD products from here, with the occasional high THC bud.
Ordered on Saturday asked
D Monday afternoon for a status on my delivery. Was told "chill man it's on it's way today". I thought that was very unprofessional . I asked of there was a tracking number i could get and was told he was cancelling my order. I'm a medical user on a limited budget. So this medicine I need and do t appreciate the lack of respect and bring toyed with by some 19 year old cocky Pokemon fanboy. Safe to say customer service is lacking fire this Shawn guy he's losing you business.
Listen to my buddy told me to get at least $45 8th. He said anything cheaper than that are schwag. I was so excited the package arrived. After opening the fancy packaging only to know it's some dry brown weed in there. It's super dry it's like powder after i grind it up. it doesn't stick together when i roll it kinda falls out cause it's so dry. it taste weird and i cough my lungs out. i m gonna stick to my dealer even tho he's rude and late all the times.
Total garbage.
I ordered 1/8 of MK Ultra, 1/8 God Bud and 2g of Blue Dream.
I was shorted 0.5g on the MK Ultra which was packaged 6 months ago. It's dry and stale.
I was shorted 0.25g on the God Bud which was packaged 7 months ago and is so dry it crumbles when you touch it.
The jar containing the 1g of Blue Dream won't open. Nobody in my house can open it. The child safety cap is broken.
Ridiculous amount of packaging, terrible quality. Never again.
Customer service is useless. They only take returns of closed product sent by accident or moldy product.
Don't waste your money.
If you have no other option to buy your weed, then this service is useful. Getting the product shipped is all over the place unfortunately, sometimes it ships within a couple hours of ordering, currently on 18 hours waiting for my parcel to be shipped from a location half hour away :/ Usually receive it in one day, so that is convenient. Mid grade dope, although I wouldn't pay 13.99 a gram for something that looks mid grade and is supposed to be top tier, so I stick to the cheap stuff they have. It gets the job done, better than nothing. But if you can get better from your local dealer, I advise that. Hopefully in time the quality comes up.
This place is horrible!!! Bought the strain landrace and it had a lot of leaves on the bud stems wear stems where not needed and completly dry no oils left or terpenes. Couldn't smoke it way to harsh Oh ya it was also under weight. They gave me a 20 dollar off code still not even worth it.
Crappy service, pricing, selection, and vibe. Legalization made the industry worse, and the laws are much more draconian and concerning. Not a fan of this place.
After shipping and taxes it's more expensive than most dispensaries. Terrible selection, getting slower and slower, not faster, useless customer service, and the packaging is hilariously way over the top wasteful. Stick to your dispensaries, they literally do everything better.
There are some great prices on the types of flower I enjoy. I like the percentages and information about the particular strains because I am smoking it for a particular reason. Knowing the thc/cbd levels is very useful. Most times I have my order the very next day and each time I've weighed it out when I received it it was on par with the purchased weight. Lots of different types to try and even when I bought various accessories with my last purchase the shipping was still really well priced.
Ordered the seeds they have online & was shocked when we received them. They were completely crushed! It looked like crushed peppercorns. While the customer service rep was amazing, the amount of hoops you have to jump through to was a little upsetting. I provided them with pics of packaging & crushed seed & talked to them on the phone 3x before they would even send me a packing slip to return the product. You then have to sign forms stating that even though you return the item you understand that it doesn't mean they will ok the return. You have to pay for the return shipping & if they don't ok the return, you are then out the product, the money you paid for the product & the shipping you paid for both ways! Hoping for the best but don't think I'll order seeds from them online again, not worth it
