Vendor and strain recommendations

Post by HigherStateD »

Looking to stock up this month and was hoping to get some help picking what and where to order from. I'm mostly looking for mood lifting with pain relief as a secondary. I am leaning towards mystic island and herbal-rva as vendors, as their pricing is second to none.

Also, does anyone here have any leads on CBD? I've found good pricing for both isolate and full spectrum honey at buynaturalmeds.com but I'm not trying to break the bank by ordering 10g to get a reasonable price. I'm looking for shatter or similar, as oils and gummies don't seem to be as effective. Thanks.

Unfortunately, Mystic Islands selection is smaller than usual right now. The white Bali they have still is very legit if it’s the same the last few times I’ve had it. I found it gave a great mood lift, energy, and euphoria. Also pretty sure their white Borneo is good if I remember. Other than those, the strains I usually get from there like vampire, ruby, big red one, red Bali (they have sick reds) — are all out of stock.

Haven’t tried herbal RVA tho.

It may just be me, but I have been having mediocre stuff from rva. I only used them exclusively for like 6 months and finally switched up. So it might just be my body tired of their stuff. But their red hulu was always good for mood lift. Wild green to.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a few days until I get paid, so hopefully by then their stock will be resupplied. Anyone know anything about buynaturalmeds.com or any other CBD sources?

I recommend Johnson’s botanicals all the greens all the reds everything is so fresh and quality. The extra price is worth it.(100-110 for mix kilos) Rva is good too tho just low on stock now as well. For cbd I get everything from Johnnyappleseed cbd. I’m on my phone and am horrible at technology but if you google that you’ll find their website. Their vape pens, “live resin” cbd and isolates are all high quality stuff. They also frequently run 15-25% off sales on holidays which I always jump on lol.

Been looking at pabotanicals for their extracts also, if you have any suggestions from them. I checked out johnnyappleseeds CBD, and even on sale, my local glass shop has better prices. I am looking for less than 40 a gram. I've got about a month to go before my rhumatologist appointment, where he said he was going to sign me up for a green card. I use a gram of CBD every 4 days or so. The place I found, buynaturalmeds.com has CBD at 17$ a gram for 10, but the only place I've seen reviews is Yelp, and I'm not sure if they are Smurf reviews

I think they still have some Wild Green in, that's a good one.

I’ve tried lots of cbd higher states and what your linking me too looks to be the lower quality stuff(lots of sites carry that same product with 10 gram limit)I would reccomend trying some higher quality cbd the isolate lasts me a lot longer than 4 days, so does the live resin which on sale comes out to around $25 a g. Usually when I get those cheap ones they don’t last me that long or I don’t even finish them because they don’t taste good and aren’t very effective. Just my 2 cents been into cbd for like 4-5years tried lots of diff products. Pretty sure I’ve had that exact product on the natural meds website. I will admit to being a snob when it comes to plant based medicines lol.

3-4 days per gram CBD is with brands like hemp barn. I've found that when using CBD and the products together, I use a lot less of both. I think cbn is what would do me the most good, but full spectrum with spikes in the right places is difficult to fine tune. Kratom is getting me through until I get my card for mmj, but I found out recently I shouldn't be using it daily, if often at all. Every once in a blue moon is what I have to settle for.

If you wouldn't mind saying, I'd be interested to know why. You don't have to say, it's none of our business, but it's unusual so I ask: anecdotally I'd say a majority of kratom users are daily users, with few to no problems outside of constipation and keeping tolerance low. I could be wrong, but that's usually what I hear from people in the online kratom communities.

But whatever it is, that -sucks-. Of all the things you can take for serious/chronic pain, to me kratom is genuinely one of the least harmful, along with CBD and MMJ. Hope you get your card soon, man.

Yeah. Found kratom while looking for something to keep me going til my mmj card came in. Figure I can use it now and then for a mood lift once I get the other for pain

For mood lifting you may try nootropics, Red vein bali kratom from coastline helps me in pain management.

Please, that's an exaggeration. It's only 733 per K, free shipping, and a money back guarantee if the 7 year old Phuket Pro with 10 years experience can't make you blow a wad that gets in your eye after bouncing off the moon in 2.3 seconds

$75 for 100g.... I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. And the Red Maeng Da looks like red velvet cake colored. Buddy, check out the vendor list. You can get 10x the amount for the same price. Do yourself a favor, please.

Mystic island is my favorite vendor right now,

Most of their stuff has only a slight variation in effects but all very euphoric even with my tolerance. Also they last longer than anything else I've tried. Unfortunately they are out of stock of pretty much everything atm. Only tried a little bit from RVA and while decent i wouldn't put it on the the same level as mystic island. Okie Kratom surprised me and had a lot of solid stuff especially their green elephant and pink dragon.

Mystic has restocked a little and I'd say, get your Mystic Vampire while the getting is good. I got that and The Big Red One the other day. I love Botanical Bunny, but as of today they have only three remaining strains.
