How Gord Ranks
A sativa should open the day, not close it. If it chains you to the couch, it goes back on the shelf – no matter how loud the THC number is.
– Gord, Senior BuyerEvery pick is one Gord has bought, smoked and re-ordered. Ranked by terpene profile, freshness of stock, and value – never by THC number alone.
