Hi all
First up, thank you so much to those who volunteered themselves for sampling service. We really couldn't kick this off without your input and guidance. If you have received a sample or have bought this line from us, we would welcome your reviews, comments and suggestions in this thread.
So... New vendor to the SR scene and to selling substances as a whole, though a consumer for a looooooong time.
We have a unknown strain for sale from a commercial weed grower. You know the kind... You ask what it is and they look at you like you have three heads, shrug and go "hey, it's all weed".
But since we took it home, gave it a nice new drying box and generally gave it some TLC for the last couple of months, it has really taken on a new dimension.
Sativa dominant hybrid with a deceptive fruity smell which turns into a chemical darkside after grinding. Just what is that damn smell? And where can I buy it in bottles?

Chemdogsunrise review.
Arrived next day from postage.
safe, secure package - no smell or worry of it.Well concealed.
( perhaps smaller lettering could be used? Ive seen a few people comment about professional looking envelopes though I personally
am happy reveiving similiar looking mail from auction sites etc.)
The weed itself was exactly as described - "from commercial growers" so it isnt top shelf however the extra
dry and cure is evident. - smooth smoke, not the strongest, you can feel a numbing to the top of the head when smoking.
There is a candy/flower/sweet smell in there - 4 people so far cant agree exactly what the smell is haha.
Im sure if correctly priced there will be a good market for this prodfuct.
Alround seems like a stand up guy and im happy to have helped out a new vendor starting up.
I look forward to seeing what you list in the future.
Good luck and a long life on the road Chemdog! :D
From memory of the last couple of nights, I might say something like:
"As fruity as an Innocent smoothy with a hint of spice before the grind, hitting the middle of the nose and transmogrifies into petrochemical olfactory goodness afterwards, as the aroma eases its way down your throat and over the back of the tongue like mead made from octane. A deceptive and deeply addictive taste."
Or I could just say "It reminds me of some very decent Chrystal I smoked a few years back".
For more information, please see our page at SR.

And for good measure, I'll stick a review up myself later.
Thank you and much respect to you all.

Received my sample today, here's a review :)
Delivery/Packing: Basically next day. Put in on Saturday after collection time due to issues with my PGP which the vendor was communicative about. Collected Monday, came Tuesday. The issue was my fault and the seller was quick to fix it!
The packaging was pretty good, discrete but could've been bulked up. It resembled a package from eBay and the product was vacuum-sealed very well in the middle. 9/10
Product: This is an unknown strain going for a low price and has been dried really well. It smells kinda fruity as well, and not amazingly pungent. The vacuum-sealing has taken away some of the shine and compressed the bud but you can tell this is a product made with care. I used this in a joint with Greengo tobacco substitute and man, this thing blows you away. I wasn't expecting much due to the lack of a recognizable name but you get a great sativa high from this. Great for music and chilling but got a large case of munchies. For the price this product is great and beats many of the other low-price strains out there. 9/10
Order with confidence from Chemdog ;) great stuff and he could dominate the UK market if he keeps his prices this low and service this good.
-
Had the green in a glass jar a couple of days - getting a smell like the red toffee off a toffee apple.
perhaps a burnt sugar smell - pleasant anyways.
Still cant put my finger on the other smell - its on the tip of my tounge (nose?) haha - infurating!
yea, really happy with chemdog - spot on my man!
Peace

Hi chemdog,
If I leave a review for you for it, is there any chance of still being able to get a sample?
Thanks!

Thanks guys! Here's mine.
Actually no - time for a pipe.

What the hell is a dealer doing reviewing his own weed, his own "no-name" weed which he didn't even grow at that?
First, I'm not a dealer. I'm a chemist with business skills. Before this, I've not sold anything contained within the Misuse of Drugs Act to anyone other than to a small circle of friends.
Second, I am as concerned about other peoples well-being as I am about making money. Some of the most reasoned voices in the debate on substance practice (yes, its a practice - we ain't users) are those who call for more transparency and education. I totally agree but with that I have to put my money where my mouth is as a vendor here.
Note that this is purely my opinion, based on my body, mental state, recent levels of drug ingestion and my own particular sensitivity to chemicals. Your mileage WILL vary, otherwise you would be a clone of me and I would have to destroy you to ensure that we would not ever occupy the same 3d dimensional location in space/time.
With that out of the way....
###
"What strain is it"?
"I don't know what either of them are. They don't know and they don't care."
"I don't understand how you can grow this stuff and not care."
"Dude. They flog it by the KG and the guys I get this from are not the same guys who grow it. They are money men."
Such was the conversation I had with one of my contacts back in May. Presented with my choice of two bins stuff with weed, I picked the one that was lighter green, had less moisture on the sides of the tub and the more pleasant of the smells. The other smelt kind of funky, either still too wet or maybe some fungus growing in there somewhere.
"Do you think you'll make money on it"?
"No idea unless I try."
### A Few Weeks Later ###
Saturday evening - we've already put 4x samples of this stuff in the post.
"Eh. You do know that we are going to have to test that weed ourselves, don't you"?
I wasn't exactly displeased with the situation. That box of weed had been off-limits for way too long.
At the time of purchase, my weed / synthetic intake was over an ounce a week. Nearly two months have elapsed. I had long since ran out of personal supplies and I had cut most of the synthetic cannabis out of my life. Fuck, I'd even quit smoking cigarettes. And we'd spent all the money on building infrastructure and security.
Throughout the time, I had burped and gently rotated the contents of the box, not really conscious of the fact that I was drying/curing. We just weren't ready to sell, so I was just looking after it during its time in storage. And maybe deeply inhaling the air from the box a time or too.
The Mrs did not need to be convinced. Think she had been doing the same thing, so we weighed out a teenth and readied the tools: a glass blown water pipe, a small wooden pipe and a Bud Bomb.
### Initial Observations ###
At first, erm, sniff, it leads you to believe that this is quite a fruity smoke with a distinct sharpness to the aroma. As I find out shortly, turns out this little Commy is well versed in deception.
The buds seem medium density and lightly compacted. Not quite the meat falling off the bone, but definitely not "this weed is so fucking hard it should be soap bar". Finding a hair that isn't orange in this lot is very difficult. Seemingly very mature.
Any outer leaves present have curled around the bud and snap back into place when pulled away. The stalky parts still contain a little moisture however.
Seems stupid easy to make it crumble between the fingers.
Grinds very easily also, and this is where I noticed "that" smell.
Whatever that sharpness is in the initial smell is being masked by the fruitiness. Grinding it seems to abolish the fruit, leaving this amazing petrochemical like and very addictive odor. I sat and smelled it for the next couple of minutes like it was an oxygen mask.
### +1 Water Pipe ###
Taste:
WTF? That same taste is actually present at the time of smoking. It hits the top of the nose and throat and is almost metallic. Reminds me of a Diesel or a Chrystal type... Whilst I find the taste pleasant, I also like the smell of petrol and could understand why some wouldn't. What has fascinated me though is that, upon smoking, it tastes the same as it smells before I lit up.
Launch speed:
There is probably a better word for this, but it escapes me ( how about "time to peak blood plasma levels"? I'll stick with launch speed).
Noticed peripheral effects within 30 seconds of exhalation. The come on was slow until about 5 minutes in, upon which it rushed quickly to my head and left my body with the feeling that it would like to be sitting down, but it really wasn't too much hassle if it had to move either. A possible daytime smoke maybe?
This is a hybrid, mostly Sativa I reckon.
Great! My favorite. Time for another.
### + 3 More Bongs and Multiple Bud Bombs ###
My mind is launched into a state where the borders and delineations between subject matters and ideas dissolve. This is highly creative weed.
Though there is enough couch-lock to know you have been smoking, this is heady stuff. My emotions are amplified and are set to receive in extremis, almost to the point of oversensitivity. Music sounds epic and I am peeling through layers of meaning via the film we are watching.
This is in direct contract to a more indica based strain, where I would expect to be beaten shitless with an overwhelmingly comfortable cloud of relaxation upon smoking multiple bowls.
In my view, it could be quite easy to over-do it for some practitioners, especially those vulnerable to sativa induced paranoia. This is not meant to be an endorsement to say that this weed is some kinda Nevilles Haze or some such, simply that if you know you are effected by that specifically, you may wish to steer clear.
We went to bed high as hell, in this wired-up-stoned, overly sensitive state. Sex was incredible on it, as that state of attempting to "read" the other worked for us instead of against us.
Woke up the next day, felt fine. Then smoked the left overs in the Bud Bomb and proceeded to insanely write my vendor profile page. Holy monkey nuts Batman, this is good stuff.
#### VERDICT ####
CON:
Unknown strain
Stalks still a little wet in places
PRO:
THAT taste and smell are the same
Highly creative heady high
8 out of 10.

Hi there... Mrs CD here.
I've been moved to put pen to paper, or fingers to keys and write a review. Partly because Mr CD asked me to, but mainly because actually - I rather like this strain of green. Even tho we don't know what exactly it is - Other than green.
I'm no expert on smoking this stuff. Mr CD will blaze his way through a small mountain of it over the course of a week, or a day if he's 'on one', but I am a bit of a lightweight when it comes to weed. But I have to say, I rather like this one!
It doesn't catch at the back of my throat - something I thought was just one of those things when you smoked well, anything. (I've never smoked tobacco products so have no prior smoking experience!). From that experience, I know now, what a "smooth smoke" means. :D (Gee... I really learned something today!)
I prefer the ones that affect your"head" - (sativa is the correct terminology I believe) ((Mr CD is now rolling his eyes and sighing)) ;) And this strain gives a healthy dollop of head stuff, but it also makes my body just relax and chill out, so I guess there's a bit of both in there.
It smells really nice. Not too stinky, but more what I'd call fruity. But then my fruityness could be another persons stinky... oh dear - that sounds rather wrong. :(
It doesn't make me cough and then it does all sorts of fun stuff in my head.
Grr.. I can normally spin words like candyfloss, but tonight - I'm at a loss. Watching myself write this is like watching my brother ask his girlfriend what she thinks of the wine.... the answer typically being... "it's pink. I like it". (Pink??? Pink???!! sorry - off topic - now back on topic!)
In short -
It's green.
It's 'smooth'.
It doesn't make me cough and splutter.
It makes my head go to fun n funny places.
It makes my body relax and zone out a bit.
In short - I like it - and I'm a bit annoyed that I don't know what its called because I want to have some more of it in the future!!!
Actually - you know what - don't buy it. Really - don't! You REALLY WON'T LIKE IT AT ALL!

We now return you to our normal programming.

Placed an order with Chemdog yesterday around half 12, weed was in my hands by 11am next morning! :)
Packaging was all good, printed labels used, vacuum sealing was good, blended in just perfectly with my other post this morning.
The bud itself has a nice strong sativa high that isn't overpowering and a unique taste. Overall I am very happy with this new vendor and would recommend him, will definately be using again!
Just a shame I can't finalise his order for 2 more days due to him being a new vendor, but when I do its a 5/5 from me!
-
Just got back from Mongolia, and fired up a bowl.
First off chemdog's communications are tops, and the stuff was with me very quick which is worthy of a mention. It also looks overweight as well which is a bonus.
Typing this I'm pretty baked, and I've been blazing for a while now and have a tolerance.. And one hit has got me lifted, so I think that should speak for the quality of the bud.
The smell is somewhat chemical, I tend to prefer the earthier aromas personally but that's just a preference, and in the end it all ends up as ash anyway.
The important thing is that I'm high as fuck off a couple hits, the stuff got here quick time, and it's good value. I'd order again.
-
;D BIG high fives to you both Leroy and Kappacino.
And yes, we weigh over where possible: anything from 1/20th of a gram to 1/5th of a gram.
Note that this is a general rule - there will be exceptions, but we think it is in our best interest and our clients to over deliver where possible.
-
Got my order from Chemdog today, 1g exact from what my scales tell me. Very good packaging and very happy with the next-day delivery. I honestly couldn't tell that this isn't what everyone calls "high grade"; it looks and smells the part, although I haven't had a smoke yet.
Will post similar in my review, but I'm not able to finalise yet. Cheers!
-
Order placed - lets see how it goes! (My first on here as I had one with Budworx who is having RL problems at the mo)
Will report here as soon as I get something to report about :)
-
So, so far very impressed. Very good communications, fast delivery and excellent packaging. Product looks good, not too squished and a nice aroma. Will be grinding this up later and seeing how it plays in a magic flight launch box :)

Bananaman and Chioro - thank you both for taking the time to contribute. Hope it hits plenty of high notes for you both. :-)

No worries - might take me a couple of days to get around to trying it out as I'm away for the weekend.
