I have definitely stayed away from this place because of all the negative reviews. It's funny, I feel as if I've already been to PB420 without actually having to go. The reason behind my visit, believe it or not, was to get a sick shirt for the Bob Fest..lol..and at the same time, check out their meds.

Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly girl working the front who made some small talk while I filled out the necessary paperwork and waited for my turn. I noticed some seedless gear they were selling on the other end of the room and had a looksy. I had no idea that this was only a mere sample of the clothing and merchandise they offer. When I walked into the nug room, I was first shocked at the shear size of the place..complete with clone room, 2 huge clothing racks busting with shirts and sweaters, and the longest bar I've ever seen (where the BT's stand behind). That's where I met Chuck aka Cheese the BT, who seemed a little out of it at the time (in his own little world). He was an older guy and was having some trouble hearing and answering my questions...I really thought the guy was drunk or something until he pointed to an empty medical soda he had been swigging on. After realizing this, I cut Cheese some slack and let him do his thing...he actually turned out to be a cool guy.

After scoping out the selection, I must say I was very unimpressed. They only had 1 indica out of like 13-14 strains and they were all lacking in luster. I didn't want to leave without trying something so I went with an gram of their Goo, which was surprisingly decent for 20/50. The Goo had a plethora of gooey trichs and a smell that told my brain: GET THIS! Cheese ended up giving me the gram for $15, which is nice (I'm thinking this was my first time freebie).

After making my med donation, it was on to the thread donation. I ended up finding a tight sweater and a shirt for the Fest!! and Cheese hooked it up. He gave me like $15 off the sweater and $5 off the shirt. At least I know where to go now for some fresh gear!

After further inspection of the Goo, I found it to be lacking in potency and taste. The high was very weak for an indica and I almost feel this strain is a sativa dominate hybrid of some sort. The taste was awful, I couldn't taste much more than some spicy-peppery notes that came through on the exhale..plus it was harsh on the throat and lungs. What a beautiful looking strain though. If the taste was there and the high was stronger/longer, then I would probably be back to see my old pal Cheese again. Unfortunately, unless I'm looking for some new seedless shirts, I will have to pass.
