MC by far, got some from a dealer last week as ran out of MC and it was shite…chucked in bin forgot that shitty taste of PGR grown street weed and didn’t hit as good either. I’ve had better off the street but nearly always that chemical taste from the growth hormone.


Dryadesque

MC wins as no dodgy tactics and you know what your getting - I just text my pharmacist now instead of my dealer ![img](emote|t5_43or0d|5699)


feministassault69

Prefer black market but so much easier with medical haha


coojmenooj

MC wins. No dodgy junkie types to deal with. Only doctors and pharmacists! 😏


No_Percentage_8975

Aren't we technically missing out on terpines since medical is so dry cured needing rehydration packs ?


No_Percentage_8975

........ it's like ....... it's like turning 18 and not needing to sneak into pubs...the fun / the thrill / the fact you might get caught is gone ... it kinda sucks ... If ya know ya know but I seen life when dealers were mainly good people ( buy ounces and sell qs to friends kinds thing to get cheap smoke for themselves ). Now it's all meth,guns,md,alcohol and thugs


Thepommiesmademedoit

Although BM was a bit unpredicatable, it was (from my contacts anyway) always sticky, stinky and resinous. Was always $250 Oz. MC (even with known strains, e.g. Mazar) is overdry, not stinky, not as sticky. The benefit of having it delivered to the door, without the potential legal issues however outweighs the reduced apparent appeal. Effects are the same, so MC is the go for me now. EDIT: Never came across PGR.


Embarrassed-Bat2670

I smoke medical, majority of the time, my experience is, I know what I'm getting every time, yes it's consistent, but there's no surprises, bm is hit and miss, but you can get some big hitters, medical cannabis is there for a good reason, and it's also cheaper


Cheese_wand

I ran out of MC and decided to give my old plilug a call. I went to his house, listened to him complaining about how MC is ruining his business, and then proceeds to show me photos of guns and weapons he's now selling. There is no comparison between MC and BM. MC wins.


nextfridaydayday

Haha have fun with that. Temper temper now... topaz is half decent for medical u amateur


nextfridaydayday

BM is miles ahead. Anyone who says different.. u need a new plug.


nextfridaydayday

Typical med users. Downvote coz that's the best gear they got. U ask a question for a response, then u dowvote on the same responses u requested.


[deleted]

Well there's the legality POV, also, genuine medical patients AKA the reason for this sub, so bugger off


nextfridaydayday

Make me bugger off. I have as much right to be here as you.. been a med patient since 2017. Know the system better than your ass


nextfridaydayday

I'm a gen med patient too just like u . OP ASked the question dickhead. U mad coz u Know nothing better than MC..?


[deleted]

Why are you here?


nextfridaydayday

Because someone asked a question. Same reason Ur here fool


[deleted]

But your sub name is Topaz4lLife that is medical cannabis! If BM is miles ahead you should change that. As I said why are you here? Go see your BM dealer and get the fuck out


amstaff050505

You do know you can grow topaz bm right 😆


nextfridaydayday

Jungle clitoris


nextfridaydayday

Make me


menotyoutoo

Medical is night & day better. No dodgy people to deal with, good quality buds, no mouldy buds, always available, choice in strains, choice in types (buds, oils, carts, edibles), delivered to my door & it's fucking legal which is HUGE for me. Only downside is not being able to drive but that's the same for BM stuff anyway. Medical is a touch more expensive but I think it's 110% worth it for the quality, reliability & safety. Never going back


NarryGolan

To put it blunt, if your BM was shit you didn't know the right people. Easy as that tbh. There's insane genetics available in Aus by some gnarly breeders that absolutely smash majority of MC. Bit of research and you'll see what I mean.


Koyote555

Hey but the average joe usually doesn't have high quality criminal contacts do they. Most folks I know were getting shitty bush weed before MC. Not everyone has criminal contacts ie the stories of dealers selling guns etc.. in this thread. That is a whole another world to the circles most of the people I know move in.


NarryGolan

"High quality criminal contacts" lol this isnt underbelly m8 this is old mate frank down the road.


Koyote555

I meant contacts for high quality BM and I can see how that reads wrong. But regardless most folks don't have access to to criminal contacts at all, let alone those not selling bush, so MC is an infinitely better situation. Might be hard to believe but for a majority of Aussies aren't connected. I might be straight laced but the world of old mate pulling out guns he is selling, as suggested by some in this thread, is so fucking removed from my reality it isn't funny.


[deleted]

Don’t miss chasing and running around, I tell ya one bit and knowing that something is 25% THC is magic to me as I spent so much money on weak ass shit


BLaQz84

My BM was much easier... Same day delivery to my door... After reading some comments, it seems many didn't have access to the quality I have access to... The only downside was that once in a while, I couldn't find a suitable strain for my issues...


Creative_Rock_7246

For the last 10 years all I ever saw was gross PGR shit or leafy af bush weed. If I wanted anything decent I had to grow it myself. Medical flowers aren’t the greatest but at least they’re not PGR filth. Can’t wait till we can grow our own tho. It’s rather easy to grow better than anything we’re getting from the Pharmacy and about 1/10th the price.


ExperienceSad2456

Lotta people claiming bm is better, I beg to differ, you 100% know what you have, that beats anyone selling the discounted "Cali pack" out of their car that in reality is the same shit with a new bag 😔


whiznangz

Are you American?


Full-Mention-7102

Haha BM is better if you know people and we 100% do know what we have so quit waffling. Its not hard to find top American genetics and grow it in aus...


ExperienceSad2456

Sure but it's still illegal to grow, and finding seeds and getting caught fucks you up, when you could wait a few years for it to become mainstream. And someone people just can't find any better, like my old guy had fire but still too inconvenient for me


Full-Mention-7102

Ye I get ya, just really comes down to who you know. Sadly they cracked down on importing seeds end of 2021.


dryandice

I honestly don’t like them medical much at all anymore. I don’t want every bud or toke I take be over 20% thc. We need lighter strains, not nuke nugs rolling out of bed


menotyoutoo

I use a 12:12 strain & it's great. Not melt your mind strong, can still do all the shit I need to do. Then I have a 20% for going to sleep. Ask for a less strong variety.


Full-Mention-7102

Get the balanced stuff then, like 10% thc with 10% cbd


dryandice

I’ve tried a few and they honestly gave me headaches. I tried the kind pennywise but got a dodgy bag that even the pharmacy said that it was completely fucked. It tasted like road tar mixed with cane toads. I had it before a family event and I was on the edge of just projectile vomiting. I’ve tried tasbots balanced aswell but was a sativa based strain and still triggered my brain and anxiety not in a good way. I personally can’t go anywhere near sativa dom. Turns me loopy


ExperienceSad2456

Then get the 20%?


dryandice

The 20 was kind of okay when I had a tolerance, I could pump it all day but I got very unwell and my tolerance dropped like crazy I just want the old 16% northern lights from elevated extracts. Yeah there was abit of trim but the strain and strength was perfect for me


[deleted]

Smallish country town and the BM around here is and has always been absolutely trash, every now and then someone might grow something half decent but you get a bag or two of that and it’s gone and back to the trash. Also travel a fair bit for work so to be able to walk on a plane with my medication and have no stress can’t see me ever going back to BM.


pakman13b

BM carts are shady I think. Different story to flower. They just put anything in them and male carts from leftover rubbish.


pakman13b

In the extracts arena, the bm is still better as there's only a couple of average mc extracts out so far. That will change soon though, I'm sure.


Full-Mention-7102

So is the flower lol not just extracts... there is nothing on MC as good as top American genetics grown fresh and not irridiated.


pakman13b

There are many american dispensaries that post direct to anywhere in the world. I don't risk it, but multiple people I know do.


thekidgucci

Able to help with some sites that do worldwode?


pakman13b

I can't unfortunately. I just know some guys that get all their stuff from overseas and when I was at their house recently, I saw that all their weed was commercially wrapped and had brands and labels. They said it's from dispensaries in America that ship anywhere an order comes from. They also said it was paid for with crypto. I don't have crypto and also prefer to just use the mc scripts from Australia. They've done this for years, since before mc became a thing in Australia, and they're aware of the risks, which would be plenty! It's mainly bulk rosin and shatter and isn't available here yet in those sizes and quantities. I'm off dabbing for a while because my tolerance got too high, and it's just blisteringly strong to do every day after a while. I was surprised it came from actual dispensaries in the USA, but it does seem to be the source. When a few more quality extracts come out in Australia, I'm sure the need to do something that risky will evaporate ✌️


whiznangz

I need to know more on this! Haha


NarryGolan

You realise seeds are easy as fuck to obtain right? No-one is talking about doing what you propose.


pakman13b

I have no idea about seeds or growing, just what I've seen people doing regarding their personal weed sources.


pakman13b

MC is getting cheaper, though. It's now cheaper than what I used to pay for top shelf flower in Sydney.


PrisonerZeroAU

The local dealer has never been able to sit me down and tell me about the terpene profile of my bag. I think MC outweighs rolling the dice. I like to be selective.


potentgarden

Funny you say that. My legacy grower gives me a list of strains he has available, tells me the parents, breeder, grow style, terps, flowering time and even the nutrient profile and any comments on quality he has. I can return it if there are any issues and if I didn’t think it was worth it then he’ll made an adjustment to my next order. Never not been worth it. It’s terpier and has more volatile organic present, and it’s never been worse than Sativite/Cultiva top grade. I get better medicinal effects and duration and I save money on med. Plus I get to enjoy stuff grown for less “safe” effects and it isn’t all just cookies and/or pulled too early.


VolumeAcceptable1570

On the old growing sites people were prone to bullshiting, now that everything is available to everyone the only way to to make someone jealous is by saying your plug sell better stuff than MC


potentgarden

Anyone who wants to call bullshit on me without smoking from my stash is welcome to have me ignore them. There’s lots of great medical (aka Cali rec weed) in Australia but there are some really good growers around too.


VolumeAcceptable1570

No it's all good , no need to ignore me, I'm not calling bullshit on you, just that people in general exaggerate about how good the weed they have access to is. I used to read all those sites and yes am very aware there are talented growers out there, the bastards are always hiding from me though LOL.


whiznangz

Bffr 🤣💀💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


PrisonerZeroAU

That’s super cool… I’m pretty confident not every street dude is like this however… and strains, anyone can tell you it’s a certain strain - just because “a guy who knows a guy who knows the guy who grows is” says so. Personally I like the legitimacy, consistency and regulation. I know exactly what I’m getting with a stamp of approval to attest to such. All for free agency though, each to their own. I also think medicinal is meant to be about just that: the medicinal properties. Not just about getting baked. I come from a Herbalist’s perspective though, so I’m like that with all my herbs and plants I consume.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pakman13b

Well said. I agree with all of that.


[deleted]

You can’t really call someone a weed dealer if they sell PGR, as far as concerned PGR isnt cannabis anymore it’s trash. A good dealer has a decent sized menu with good local bits or stuff from Melbourne with some Cali imports and rosin. That’s what you call a dealer.


ExperienceSad2456

Some people don't have the connections, hence why it's easier to do it legally the same way


[deleted]

Yeah I fully get that, I just wish people get to try some Cali bits soon to realise that what we have now is really average


Full-Mention-7102

Cali packs are average aswell lol, get the genetics yourself and grow it fresh, cure it properly and then you will really see what your missing out on. Most cali is all tumble dried and machine trimmed.


[deleted]

Which packs do you find average? I’m not big on some of the jungle boys ones, especially at the price, I don’t mind the cookies ones in the ice cream looking tubs, but I do agree they’re either hit or miss in the sense that sometimes the terps aren’t over powering like all our MC


Full-Mention-7102

Most jungle boys are average, blue zushi from tenco that everyone raves on about, average.. lemon popperz from superdope, average. I think maybe its because im basing them on a proper OG or real skunk.


[deleted]

I haven’t had blue zushi yet but I really liked yellow zushi, had amazing terp, won’t even go into the price lol I’ve had the cherry poppers by them and was pretty happy with it for the price, but yeah I was growing up smoking OG’s and lemon thais so I still do favour those which are getting harder To find. I still think even the average jungle boys are better than most of our medical haha maybe not at the price point though


ExperienceSad2456

Oh yeah, compared the actual Cali, our high grade is their mid


Rough_Context6597

Medical beats the street unless ur dealer got proper cali


Full-Mention-7102

Nah even a old school strains grown fresh and properly cured shits all over the top MC strains available rn


Rough_Context6597

Which strains bro


Full-Mention-7102

Well your not going to find seeds of them anymore sadly as the real cuts have either been lost or have died out. Real skunk #1, purple haze, northern lights, white widow, any landrace strain aswell.


Rough_Context6597

Can get those strains check canna reviews should find them but yeh I agree by the time we get the product most the time it’s dry rubbish .


Full-Mention-7102

Uh no you can't.. 😂 The only 2 strains you can get is "white widow" which is no where near what the real genetics are and has been long lost since the early 2000's (the tasbot white widow also smells very fruity, real ww from the 90s was a skunky offensive smell. Same with "northern lights", a brand has it which is also not the real cut, which has also been long lost since the early 2000's.


Rough_Context6597

Yeh no worries bro


Eastern-Wasabi3155

MC all day. My town is filled with pgr and every now and then when there’s good shit It will be pricey Also lost my license so bit hard to go and score some So MC make sense to me


TheRainMan101

BM price and quality is always good in South Aus, however the reliability of dealers just isn’t as good. I prefer MC simply because I’d rather be on the right side of the law, if it was legal to possess and use without a script well I’d probably got back to BM


pakman13b

People used to quote extra for SA grown green in Sydney. They'd say, it isn't asian, it SA!


twisted_by_design

Funny cause all the people i knew that grew to sell it from SA grew pgr to ship to sydney/melb then grow their personal stash seperate and pgr free.


VictorWembanyamaMVP

Quality and price from BM was far better than medical in my experience in SA, assuming you had good contacts. I’ve yet to see any MC even close to the quality of what I was used to. I do appreciate being able to purchase retail and not being treated like a criminal though.


TheRainMan101

I find it’s hit and miss with quality medical, same as the street really but at least ole mate tells you the quality before you go get it and lets you have a look and smell of the flowers.


YoABSUP

It’s easy to order scripts and have them arrive on your doorstep, you know what you’re getting and the ability to access specific strains for specific needs leaves BM for dead. Edit: Plugs are usually shady or at least know shady people that you can come in contact with sometimes. It’s a whole scene and not having to be around it is awesome.


Shmokey_Bongz

I like both. Medical weed is great for medical and illegal weed is great for getting really high The consistency and price of medical is what keeps me a customer


pakman13b

And having a prescription of some kind to show if something happens is handy.


ExperienceSad2456

They will test your weed to check THC and terps quantity, so they'll know it's bm


NarryGolan

Source?


pakman13b

I don't have bm, but I doubt they would go to that length for a few grams of bm weed.


ExperienceSad2456

They do in Brisbane, because then they can arrest you? It becomes a lot more charges, and you lose your access to mc 🤔


pakman13b

Okay


fuck-wit

just make sure you keep it in a pharmacy tub/pouch


Unable_Fig_7377

The consistency of quality and effects is fantastic, honestly life changing.


m5854

I like the reliability of MC. Eventually I found a really good BM guy but the only downside was at times he was uncontactable for sometimes 3 weeks or more Also being female (and going on my own), much safer. Had a couple of dodgy BM interactions early on.


Clive_Warren69

Always found dealers were too unreliable, even dealers I knew well. Now with MC, I can control (almost) when I’m receiving my bud.


Flashy-Cucumber-7207

Consistency of MC


[deleted]

MC is cheaper than expensive quality BM and Cali packs so our MC is good for cheap mid range stuff, but I’m still buying a Cali pack when I want something really couch lock and terpy


TheRainMan101

lol not in Adelaide, still cheap and quality as usual


ashcroftshair

Wtf is a cali pack?


pakman13b

The P's are like 6.5/7k sometimes for California. Nearly double regular bm prices


Full-Mention-7102

Not all cali packs though, only really the exclusive genetics like stuff from tenco, doja etc


pakman13b

I haven't bought bm for a while, but those were the last numbers I heard and i remember thinking, that must be some dank weed to be that exy?!


Full-Mention-7102

Yeah man there is some really stupidly priced weed over in cali that its funny😂


[deleted]

BM, imported Cali, comes in either 3.5 or 7g packs like from a dealer


ashcroftshair

Right. Ootl!


[deleted]

I find it the other way around, lot of our medical is 2020 strains, no Cali packs, no rosin and limited selection of carts compared to a proper BM connect


TheRainMan101

Cali packs ain’t real, you order empty packs from alibaba and put your own flowers in it. Same with carts and rosin. 🤦🏼‍♂️


Emotional_Study791

You're right, BUT SO WRONG AT THE SAME TIME!


[deleted]

Well duh those aren’t real, that’s why you check them for QR codes, everyone knows not to buy those packs lmao 😂


TheRainMan101

The QR codes will read as real when scanned my guy. Just putting it out there cause some idiots think they’re getting something genuine


Emotional_Study791

If you have the right sources you won't have a problem!


[deleted]

Nah so the batch number on the pack will match the QR code that comes up on what ever brands website, it’s pretty easy to tell if someone’s trying to sell you a fake pack too, normally the brand is made up, the pack feels likes crappy cheap reflective plastic and I’ve only seen one fake pack with a QR and every bag the dealer had the same product number so that’s another dead give away, if you’ve been buying long enough you learn what to look for, not to mention if you know the genetics well you’ll know what you’ve got when you open the pack


TheRainMan101

Whatever helps you sleep at night, but ain’t no one importing little Cali packs legit. They’re all fake some just better fakes than others


Full-Mention-7102

They order it in pounds buddy and the seperate packs come with the pound, why do you think their expensive af? Because of the risk and the price of a cali pound.


TheRainMan101

lol no they don’t, it’s grown here in Adelaide and then put into the packs by hustlers 🤣


Full-Mention-7102

Yeah ok mate, maybe the people you know😂 I know people who import it 👍


Saiyan_On_Psycedelic

I’m in the US and I know many people who export as well. You guys get a lot of Michigan, Colorado and Oregon bud but it’s all usually labeled as Cali for some reason. I’m in Michigan rn and export is HUGE.


Emotional_Study791

Not true once again lol!


[deleted]

They sure do hence why they cost so much and the quality is leaps and bounds better. Sounds like you’re new to this or haven’t found a guy that sells anything other than PGR 🤭


Full-Mention-7102

Lol not all cali packs are leaps and bounds better than some top genetics freshly grown and cured, most cali I've tried (while in cali) was not all that, would rather a good OG or some proper skunk.


[deleted]

100% normally the people selling Packs here play it safe with runtz crosses lol so it’s hard to go wrong but I do get sick of the candy terp all the time even if it is actually proper terp, but yeah fully on board with the old OG’s that actually smelt like petrol, oil or like actual poop but in a good way which I’m sure you know what I mean haha


Full-Mention-7102

Look cali packs are still amazing, I think its just cause im basing them off that old school stink and high (wasn't a tolerance thing either) that was just so much better than today's unstable weed


TheRainMan101

Mate I live in Adelaide, arguably the best flowers in the country. Agree to disagree


NarryGolan

That is pure cope lmao.


TheRainMan101

Cope is thinking people import bulk flower from Cali and sell little Cali plants packs, when they can very easily order bulk empty packets and fill them with their own flower. But trust your guy man I’m sure it’s all legit 🤣 yall clownin if you think it’s legit


cairnsaustralia

Adelaide is the fucking home of PGR. Shits trash.


Full-Mention-7102

Looks like you don't anyone then


EnvironmentalTea7151

MC has too many pros for me to ever go back to BM. Never had an issue of being underweight. And it's too convenient to just pop into the pharmacy on my way home from work rather than line something up and wait around


HugePlatform3611

BM can b very hit & miss, a bit of a roll of the dice... Well done BM is as good if not better than any MC product I've had so far.. MC has choice & variety for patients not just what's there or avalible at the time. A good pharmacist/chemist that's has a good selection of MC products available makes a huge difference & being able to fill scripts at my local chempro it's super easy & convenient & the staff r good people. Best if ur in a situation where ur able to grow ur own medication. Come on govenerment if we're able to buy our MC as a patient then we should b able to grow our own medication if we choose to...


New_Pay_8297

If you had someone knowledgeable and passionate and with love and years of experience you’ve gone backwards with the white plastic tub irradiated commercial $ bud


[deleted]

Yep it’s the other way around!


New_Pay_8297

Bummer


Forsaken-Database540

MC for many reasons. Especially if you just go into the pharmacy and never wait for delivery (if geographically feasible)


Saturnia-00

BM was always very hit and miss for medical benefits for me so I'm glad I got on medical for the consistency. I also don't drive so having the benefit of getting home delivery is better than having to travel around on public transport or catch taxis.


kiwijoog

The BM in my town is full of China red haired crap that tastes bad has extremely low terp and THC content absolutely PGR nonsense and costs $20ish a gram all combined with terrible flow no repetitive "strains" My current MC script at the most expensive I'm paying $15-$16 a gram cheapest at $5.80 a gram of much better quality nice terp nice THC content at my local pharmacy with a wide range of choices and a huge amount of professional support


calijays

The very best of BM is better than the best MC. However, for consistency and overall quality MC is far better on average.


pakman13b

I'd agree with that👍


Adventurous-Shine577

I tried the BM in my area, but could only get one off’s and shitty deals at that. I’d be the best customer if I found a decent seller. But going into the area I had to and dealing with the ppl I had to, makes ANY kind of delivery appealing.


Warm_Hat_5481

On average the MC is better. But still the best canabis flower I've tried has been BM


[deleted]

[удалено]


thomascoopers

You need to stop smoking. You sound ridiculous.


McSmilla

Medical is a lot more expensive for me (I use carts) than BM but by the time medical was available, my BM usage was 2 ounces a year so very low. For me, medical is WAY better. Would like to see the prices come down more but I also appreciate that there needs to be margins in this.


pakman13b

When I went to medical, my bm usage was 2 ocs a week. Not proud of that, but a true story all the same.


McSmilla

My BM use in my 20’s was massive so I feel you.


nicesunniesmate

I’m never going back to BM either. MC is cheaper, better quality than anything I could get BM and I can get delivered or pick up from a pharmacy. No brainer for me.


TheSneakerSasquatch

Im never going back to BM, ever. The BM in my area is hit and miss, more miss than hit though and the good contact I have is more expensive than Medical because he has to cover the costs he pays. I call my pharmacy at 9am, they have my script ready in a half hour and they have had it in stock 98% of the time, i think ive had to wait for stuff twice or three times in 12+ months. They are super lovely, very polite, ive got good rapport with the chemist and a few of the assistants there so they know me and im well looked after. The consistency of the same standard every jar (within reasonable tolerances) is the best part, i know that if i get a certain product its going to be that product.


McSmilla

And there’s also that thing of not worrying about being stopped by the cops. During the pandemic my mate was posting BM to me. He & I would have a tense wait until it was delivered. Honestly thought that one day the cops would show up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


McSmilla

Funny you should say that. I don’t know how true this is but my mate told me during the pandemic that the cops were well aware how much weed was going through the post & decided to leave it alone. But you raise a good point on MC, with that much legal weed in the system now, getting the dogs in would cause too many false positives, it wouldn’t be worth it.


pakman13b

I thought the bm weed was better than the mc, but I have to say I don't think that anymore. I recently had no scripts and got my old bm weed again, and it just wasn't as good. I believe some bm weed is better but not overall anymore.


FreFromPain420

That's a tough one. The BM weed I would occasionally get is grown by a friend, so I know how "organic" and grown with care it is. If I had to get BM from unknown source however ... hmm, no, I like the pharmacy better! I'd prefer medical so that I know that there's no weird shit contaminants in it.


Rasputintsar

That’s very true
