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 Buyer

Every pick is one Gord has bought, smoked and re-ordered. Ranked by terpene profile, freshness of stock, and value – never by THC number alone.

Gord, Senior Buyer

Meet Gord

Senior Buyer since day one • 30+ years in the BC craft scene

Gord buys the flower for this place – every strain on this site crossed his desk, and his grinder, before it crossed yours. Kootenay greenhouses to legal retail, he’s been judging flower since the late 80s. He doesn’t rank strains to sound smart; he ranks them so you don’t waste your money.

Desk first – every pick is burned from our actual batch Terps over THC – the profile is the song, the number is the volume Fresh beats loud – fresher flower wins over stale potency
