Overall rating out of 10: 9
I’ve ordered from a few MOMs now and I religiously read reviews and keep up with promotional material. There are competitors, but I don’t think anyone r...ight now is doing it better than Speedgreens. I believe their website has room for improvement, but it is perfectly usable and the service/product I received was A+.

They do ask for government ID, but they’d already taken payment before verifying me. This is a MOM that knows how to get out of its own way.
While the convenience is great and signing up and getting through the purchase couldn’t have been easier, I worry that this lax policy may bite them if the 12 start poking at MOMs.
Ordering & Pricing: 8 out of 10
Great pictures that are completely representative of what I received and clearly taken in house - always a good sign.
Some poor decisions design-wise (web carousels are bad, ’shop’ being a menu item leading to just a portion of their offerings was a bit confusing), but nothing too bad - no immediate attack on your e-mail address with promises of newsletters and updates, which is always appreciated. Once I got my bearings everything was easy to filter and search for.
Checkout was simple and they make the etransfer process very clear for newcomers.
I took advantage of their black friday pricing, which was excellent - an ounce of their LA OG for $167? Holy crap was that a good deal. I wish I had saved more money and known how legit the stuff would be, I would have bought an irresponsible amount of cannabis that day.
Thankfully they have a 20% promo code for new customers so you can still get an ounce of real quads for $170. As a returning customer I’ll still happily pay $209/oz for the quality I got at this level of service.
Communication: 10 out of 10
Excuse my french but hell yes. Great presence on social media, up front and communicative through every step of the order, without being overbearing.
I received eight emails from them in total: waiting for payment, my account has been created, ID verification request, account verification, order confirmation, two ’your order has shipped’ (one when they gave it to CP, one when CP started shipping it) and one ’your order has been delivered.’ I can verify the last one came promptly when it was marked as delivered on CP’s side, no delay waiting to be notified of a delivery that came hours ago.
In the last email, after letting me know about my delivery they respectfully asked me to review them on their social media, and that was the last we spoke... meaning I’m not still getting emails asking me to please leave reviews after our business is done, or asking me to sign up for a newsletter, or just ’checking in’.
Other MOMs, take note. This is how you do it right. Only the emails we need, ALL the emails we need, promptly, and then get out of our inbox.
Packaging: 10 out of 10
Perfect.
Plain and scentless white box, all seams taped, could be anything. Opening the box reveales a mylar bag, still scentless. Within that mylar bag your entire order is vacsealed, still scentless.
Cracking open the foodsaver reveals - tada, some smell - each strain individually packaged within childproof bottles - the caps are thankfully reversible into easy open caps. The free prerolls I received came packaged within a single plastic zip - slight squish, but no damage to the joints.
Each strain was clearly (and cutely) labeled including quality and weight. The gifts were clearly labeled with a small sticker for clarity. Boveda packs were included with every strain (thank you).

L.A. OG (AAAA Indica) - 28g
20181130_235741~2.jpg
Rating: 10/10 | Pictured Weight: 2.2g
Comically large pill bottle stuffed to the brim with chunky, dense nuggets of love. Break the seal and get punched in the face with that telltale aroma - KUSH!
I picked up a zip of this in hopes that it would settle in as my new sleepytime strain and it has delivered. I loaded up about 0.2g into the OG Solo after work and next thing I knew it was the following day. Later hooked a friend up with a solid nugget for full bongloads and heard 0 coughs. Real smooth, quality stuff.
The only knock I could figure on this is that the trim is a bit, for lack of a better word, ’hacky’. Make no mistake, this is a true quad. Potency, good cure, well flushed, bag appeal. It’s all there.
Walter White (AAAA Sativa) - 14g
20181201_000720~2.jpg
Rating: 10/10 | Pictured Weight: 2.0g
Forgive me for the mediocre pic, my phone had a hard time focusing on the absolute brick of hairs that this strain seems to be. There’s better definition around the edges thankfully.
This strain is pure, unadulterated lift. It’s not racy, absolutely no paranoia, no anxiety, a bit munchy. Everything is just... good. I would hazard to guess it’s pretty hard to have a negative opinion on this strain - who doesn’t want to be happy?
Lowkey my favorite of the order. Super smooth sweet berry citrus and smiles. Great bud.
Red Congolese (AAAA Sativa) - 3.5g
20181130_235127~2.jpg
Rating: 9/10 | Pictured Weight: 1.1g
I ordered this as a throwaway eighth to get my total up to the threshold for a free quarter. I selected this strain because it’s an exotic ’atypical’ and at this point I’m always interested in exploring what cannabis has to offer that’s a bit off the beaten trail.
This stuff is weird. Full stop. It smells weird, with hints of berries, and spice, and no foolies - rubber. It looks weird, with its choppy trimjob and its long truly red hairs. its true sativa structure and light, wispy buds. It tastes... challenging. I’m not going to seek it out for its flavor, to be sure. And for all of that I don’t think it quite feels like anything else I’ve ever had... and that’s a cool thing.
Other than the one fairly large nug pictured (I expected it to weigh over 2g, these buds are LIGHT), I got mostly popcorn and some scrappiness. The ample sugarleaf present is absolutely dusted but, you know, it’s there. I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt that it’s because I only got an eighth, and that larger purchases will get more larger buds, but I can only review what I personally received. The quality was obvious through the entire purchase so I’m not upset about the bag appeal.
The potency is there for sure. It’s got that signature Durban Poison THCV ’speed’ to it, but it pairs with this real ’stoned’ body load and yet there is absolutely no couch lock. I felt truly high, but completely at ease with it. This makes for a good ’functional but high’ day strain.
It’s interesting. I like it, I feel good on it, I’m just not nuts about it. Some people love it, and I can see why. This is definitely a strain to try at least once. I’m happy to have ordered it, and I think you will be too, but do the smart thing like I did and get a smaller amount for your first taste.
Pink Kush (AAA Indica) - 7g $279 freebie
20181201_001924~3.jpg
Rating: 9/10 | Pictured Weight: 0.7g
I selected this as my free quarter among 4 choices. There was a Rockstar, a Cheese, and I forget the other option - apologies.
Widely accepted as being a generic OG Kush relative of uncertain lineage, it’s uh... Well, it’s kush. It smells like kush, looks like kush, smokes like kush, feels like kush. I’m not going to wax philosophically about some trips, sorry.
It’s hard not to compare this to the L.A. OG I received, they’re very similar strains. That’s largely why I selected this as my free quarter, wanting to compare equivalent trips and quads. The buds are a little smaller, a little drier. The aroma punches a little less. The potency is a bit less, inhales a bit less smooth. In every way this is worse than the L.A. OG... and that’s fine.
I gave this a 9 not because it’s as good as the quads - it’s not. Instead, I give this a 9 because there is nothing wrong with bud that’s a little worse for a little less money. This is good weed. If you want the best stuff, get better, if you want more stuff, get cheaper, but if you just want some good bud, get this. At $179/o with 20% off for your first order you could do way worse.
This is performant cannabis at a fair price.
Kushberry (AA Indica) - 3.5g first order freebie
20181201_001419~3.jpg
Rating: 5.5/10 | Pictured Weight: 1.0g
I got this as a dealer’s choice free eighth as a sign-up bonus. I’m not sure if they give this to everyone or If they just figured I like kushes. I’m not complaining.
Opening the bottle doesn’t punch so much as limp up at you with the telltale kush aroma mixed with hints of sweet berry and... Well, some people like to say ’earthy’ but let’s be real - dirt. Not bad alll in all but it doesn’t wow you right away.
Honestly at first blush I took this for trips. It has every outward appearance of it and honestly might even look nicer than the pink lush... And then I vaped it.
It’s... fine? Honestly the potency is a bit higher than I expect from AA, but I definitely feel like I earned it... It’s a bit harsh, let’s just say. I get why they rated it as they did, I’d feel comfortable rating this at AA+ even, but this is clearly not good bud. But it’s not unsmokeable or anything. Decent budget flower or if your tolerance isn’t super high, I don’t think this is necessarily bad stuff, you’re just getting what you pay for.
I wound up cutting some of this and the red congo together and got an actually amazing body load and the inhale was manageable so I imagine I’ll just keep using this to occasionally stretch the rest of my order.
Can’t be mad at free bud and honestly I’m not. I’ve had much worse AA bud.
Prerolls (AA Indica and sativa, 2 of each) - ~3g $179 freebie
20181201_003432~2.jpg
Rating: 7/10 | Pictured Weight: 0.8g and 0.9g (gross)
I smoked one indica and gave one sativa to a friend. No complaints. Slight squish, smoked okay (I vape so I’m not comfortable reviewing its harshness), decent buzz.
I generally don’t recommend buying prerolls as I don’t find them economical or consistent and these did not change my mind, but they are always a welcome addition to my orders.
A Bowl (AA Glass) - Green Friday freebie I think (?)
20181201_003156_HDR~2.jpg
Rating: 8/10 | Pictured Weight: unknown
Much darker than the pic, single person size, glass is acceptable thickness, has a choke.
I legit wish I could leave a real review because I know SG sells accessories but my wife stole this immediately after I took the picture and I haven’t seen it since... So... Yeah. No complaints though.
Incentive for Customers:
20% off + free AA eighth on first order, free shipping over $99, 4 free prerolls over $179, free AAA quarter over $279.
I also got a free bowl but I think that might have been a Black Friday thing.
Incentive for Review:
None offered, received, or necessary.
Notes:
I like this MOM and will be a return customer. You should try them.
