The second stop on a tour I did with Headbandfan and Mr.nice215 last Wednesday was SDGCC. Their location is pretty conveniently located right of off Convoy and in the same parking lot as JP's Bait and Tackel. If you have a compact car, parking will be easier, but is you have a big car or truck, forget about it! Parking spots are super tight and make the simple act of backing up a mundane task. The club has a huge tinted window in front, but from the inside you feel like everyone outside can see you. They have a couple couches in the waiting room where HBFan and I comfortably filled out the necessary paperwork. Mr.nice was referring us so after a simple flash of his ID, he was waiting on us. We were verified shortly after and admitted into their nug room.

Once inside the nug room, we were given a run-down on their clones, edibles, concentrates, and flowers. Both BT's were quick to point us in the right direction and immediately started showcasing their top shelf strains. I must say that the quality of their high-end strains do in fact fit the bill. I'm starting to get to the point where even bomb $60/eighths aren't flying with me, not when clubs are knocking it out with 50-55 dollar ones! But the quality was definitely there and when quality is there, I don't mind dropping an extra 5 bucks my first time there. The G13, Princess Purple, Diablo OG, and Purple Lights are all equally stunning flowers with monstrous odors. Especially the G13, I think I liked it best because it smells similar to some Lemon G13 I've been in love with lately. It smells like straight citrus hand soap!! The buds are a little fluffy and leafy, but coated with a good amount of gooey trichomes that bring a certain shine to it. I ended up splitting an eighth with HBFan cause neither of us really wanted to go all out. He got some Purple Lights that had a real funky smell to it, a smell none of us could really pinpoint. I heard muscle powder, burnt bacon, well whatever it was it smelled intriguing and looked even more so. With the first time deal the eighth came to $55 and after a little confusion trying to split the bill, the donation price dropped to $50..Now we're talking! The BT's also threw in a couple bags of their Canna-butter Popcorn.

The G13 I got ended up coming through in a major way. I was very impressed with its sweet, spicy, citrusy, long lasting flavor from start to finish. The high would be ideal for the average wake n baker. It's not very overpowering and instead delivers more of a heady-uplifting feel. The Popcorn I scarfed down was ok I guess, it actually tasted pretty good until you got about halfway through the bag. The effects were next to none, I ate it towards the end of work so I could really put it to the test and I felt nothing more than a few irie vibes. Overall, I feel this club could definitely be a contender, especially if they were to offer some type of special incentive..like $50 or $55 eighths on certain days or hours of the day. Either that or just drop the cap to $55.
