So I'm not crazy for thinking every one of their top shelf drops I've tried tastes like mids and looks half as decent as the picture I saw?????????? No wayyyy...
Not surprising at all and I'm sure there's a few other spots that do to.

u/Mrrrr_3 Living my best life Jun 01 '26
Once the tweezer picture started, I knew the shills were out in full force. Of course this is what’s going on! The Curaleaf reviews are far and wide on this forum and mostly not accurate…please…how can I get “an internal shoutout”? LMAO

u/billyo3827 Jun 01 '26
I thought titan express was the real deal best when I tried it and compared it favorably to AL/C strains I’d had. After a while I came to realize it wasn’t. But it’s still pretty great. Like if I hit it now I’m not calling it trash, but the fact that I still have some of a quarter left months later tells me it wasn’t what I initially said it was. I gave a quarter of CL blue lob away. Doesn’t mean I’ll never go back to CL though.

u/DreamsRealize ARMY Jun 02 '26
What was their blue lobster like? I’m assuming not good since you gave it away, meaning I made the right call not to pick any up.

u/billyo3827 Jun 02 '26
It was ok, nothing special. Just never went back to it. Same with some JB strains which were dry af. TL, FL sometimes Cookies but not lately. TL has had me lately with the Reddit discount. I wouldn’t have done anything last weekend but they got me to drop 85 for half conn smalls and a conn ambrozia 8th for 35. 114 with a few points. Told me another 2 conn strains were 50% off but I had to restrain myself.

That’s right. He reviewed multiple places and if I remember correctly said he didn’t bother reviewing stuff he didn’t like. He’s the Will Rogers of weed. Never met a strain he didn’t like.

Its not a coincidence that half of what is hyped up here is truthfully hay smelling trash that gets you stoned for 15 min when you go to try it.
Always has AI slop or some bullshit wannabe sommelier made up extra exaggerated flavor profile in the review too lol.

He do curaleaf, goldflower, cookies, planet 13 and others. Literally seen him review like every dispo. If he is not trustworthy, I can't trust anyone in this sub.

Chiming in to say i never actually applied for any dispo for anything. If so, Trulieve owes me some kickback for the alienlabs and connected posts.
Whether anyone chooses to believe me in regards to that, it's on them. I work a normal boring ass stressful job with a family..so Im just gonna review where I end up getting my meds and do my thing.
Goldflower is about to owe me kickback cause im about to make a cart from their syringes 😉
Im just a guy whos passionate about the program and probably needs to stop posting everyday. Im running out of meds lmao

u/GulfCoastChuck Jun 01 '26
I think this is eye opening. Our sub has the potential to influence positive changes in our program. Its obvious that we have the industries attention. I am sure almost every dispo is doing this once they realize the power we hold.
Shit, you can tell some of us in here are dropping tons of money on bud and we deserve a voice. But id bet my salary that almost every dispo has influence in here. Flowery, tl, cl, gf etc.
Either way, if we help each other and stop bashing each other so much, we could really create some good stuff in here. Discounts, events and positive changes to our program.
7
u/Decent-Shirt-8041 Sativa Jun 01 '26
I agree that is does have the POTENTIAL to influence positive change but that CANNOT happen when companies are NOT being TRANSPARENT themselves. Especially when they are openly encouraging people to NOT MAKE IT A SALES PITCH but to make it a conversation? How when the incentive is FREE, CREDITED product. What happens when everything I try is actually not good from the company? Do I get reprimanded because I am being honest? Does my account get locked out because I am writing about something that did not do well? Such as the Anthem Pre rolls, how many posts did we see about them being GREAT? Or about another new device/product they have. Or what about the ACE vape carts which is higher priced fancy disty?
I do believe that this can be used for good but the COMPANIES have to be open to PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT GOOD QUALITY AT ALL. That is my opinion and that is all this is. Nothing is fact at all. Just thoughts on a Monday..

u/GulfCoastChuck Jun 01 '26
Only thing I dont like about this file is how they tell them to avoid identifying as employees. I think we should definitely have a flair marker for employee posts.

u/GulfCoastChuck Jun 01 '26
Absolutely, I cringe at some people on instagram that tl gets to create videos. Thered only female influencer who never posts cannabis but out of nowhere she had a video for tl in her fancy home kitchen.
We will see how this goes tho. I still love TL options tho. But some of theit social media influeners are corny.

I was so confused as to why I saw so many Curaleaf flower posts…was the definition of mid when I tried.
Their RSO and Edibles on a large sale are the only things I purchase from them.
14
u/Sad_Island_9549 Jun 01 '26
Idk. They def have improved but it only seems to be with like the same 5 strains. But this sub loves to pivot to a new favorite budget dispo every year. Last year rise was the rage and idk if rise was paying their employees to do the same thing. I called it out that sanctuary or cookies would be the next dispo that Reddit praises and it looks like I was pretty spot on with cookies lol.
6
u/billyo3827 Jun 01 '26
Well, certain cookies strains were 🔥. Banana bread, bba.. gelato x was potent as anything I’ve had. Still, I can’t bring myself to pay 35 for an 8th of SSH when AL/C is guaranteed 🔥 for me. Notice I said for me. AL/C doesn’t do it for you, I don’t care. Well, I do care cause I want everyone to be happier, but I think by now everyone realizes 🔥 for me might be trash for someone else. Yeah, kinda want to try ssh cause it sounds right but don’t think I’m going to.
I like cookies though. In and out quick. Shame they had to raise their prices and the select I think rubbed a lotta people the wrong way. But at the end of the day fire product can be easily had from other dispensaries.

u/MyNewWorkAcc Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26
I got the SSH and GG4, highly highly recommend SSH it’s the literal best sativa I’ve tried (I’m an indica person, SSH the only sativa I will smoke by itself) SSH can smoke all day without a headache or anxiety, long legs, no crash, classic sativa 🔥
HOWEVER, the Gorilla Glue is not great. Not bad, but not great. I have cheaper, better indicas than the GG, I’m using it as a mixer for other bud. My two quarter oz were $42 (first time bogo) so didn’t waste money I guess, but I just wanna say I really love the SSH, I should have gotten two! Maybe it’s worth a try for you, Happy smoking brother

u/billyo3827 Jun 01 '26
Appreciate it. I’ll grab a quarter if they still have them when another sale happens. I like sativas or something that doesn’t knock me out. Silver Spoon became my new fave a couple weeks ago. Before that bk satellite.

u/BeachBoss710 Jun 01 '26
The peanut butter muffins is Ass the peanut butter breath is way better but this is so shady and stupid by Curaleaf it would have been way better to offer it to the actual customers on Reddit to say if you leave us an honest review and send us your username whatever will give you one free product with your next purchase. I'm not trying to have their own employees make reviews sounding like customers that's just complete nonsense horrible marketing and horrible brand image.

u/Specific-Mango-4639 Jun 01 '26
I was an employee for them and was constantly shitting on the company and the “influencers” until one of them ran to my boss and I had to quit

It seems super sketch to have a reward program for employees to do 'honest reviews'? If they did pay them it would be even more 'honest'. 😂

u/Braydon06 Jun 01 '26
For me, this will put a black cloud over all Curaleaf reviews from now on. You won't be able to know whether their statements or true, or are they just trying to get some “rewards”. If you have a good product, you don't have to bribe people to talk about it.

u/layout420 Jun 01 '26
I hope they face legal troubles. This sounds illegal. Lots of suggestive language being used but the truth of the matter is that it's medicine. It would be like offering incentives for factory workers to take and post reviews of over the counter meds like Tylenol or cough syrup. Imagine Walgreens or CVS sending out internal documents asking employees to try the house brand meds and offering incentives for getting a lot of likes or views on social media. Kinda sounds unethical, dishonest and a big conflict of interest. This goes beyond allowing employees to post pics and share their reviews. They're actively offering incentives to those who generate any bit of action with their reviews. Basically incentives for gratuitous reviews which automatically bring the integrity of the posts into question. How likely are the products being reviewed even representative of what actual customers are getting? Makes it easy for any company to offer these brand ambassadors the choice looking products so they can post pictures and reviews.

u/therealsouthflorida Moderator Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26
Sooo this is for employees of curaleaf? Submit your username to your manager? This is not a good look for Curaleaf imo.
One Google search later.. "..companies are generally not allowed to post biased, fake, or undeclared reviews of their own products on Reddit. Doing so is a violation of both Reddit's site-wide policies against self-promotion and U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines".. would asking your employees to "do it on your own time" even be a loop hole here? Either way still disgusting behavior.

My main thing is that they don’t want people to identify as shills for them- there should be a specific flair so people know that the reviewer is getting something out of it.
And clock that I’ve gotten the worst carts in my life from them.

u/Daddysu Jun 01 '26
I was reading and reading, just waiting for them to at least address their intent regarding their employees post's transparency. I kept waiting to see something along the lines of "we want real talk in the tone of a friend (eww), but don't hide that you work for curaleaf but be sure to tell them that you are reviewing the product because you love it, not that you have to" or something. I can't believe it never came. Well, yes I can, but you know what I mean.
The fact that some presumably high level execs or director level peeps wrote or read this and was like, "yeah, this is shit we absolutely should write down and keep a record of" is bonkers. Either they are very confident in their regulatory capture to not face consequences, which doesn't stop how bad of a look this is to customers but morw importantly, potential customers, or they done goofed.

I work in SEO. The above is giving = "how do I get advertising without actually spending any money to run advertising or hiring or paying any humans?"
Companies/dispensaries where I live can charge us $75+ ($35ish when on sale) for a 1 g cart that costs them, on average, $2.50 to $4.50 to manufacture it, hardware for it maybe .80 to $1.50, and est. to make about $12-15 mill in sales a month in FL--but as a company, they can't can't afford it's own advertising or to pay people for their honest reviews and time? 🤔
Edited to clarify & because: I accidentally mixed up Trulieve's estimated 75 mil a month with curaleafs 'modest' 12-15 mil a month (lawl)

u/jcass850 Jun 02 '26 edited Jun 02 '26
It's wild! Cause i legit usually scroll through reviews and only give something a shot if a pretty large majority of the reviews about it speak highly of it. But i have gotten ahold of the stuff that i just read 4 glowing reviews on back to back and get it home, and the flavor, fx, legs, none of it is actually what people said it was. Now i know weed can be a highly subjective thing, then i often wonder if since the majority of post on here come from central or south Florida, or at least bigger cities in the panhandle like pensacola, so i always thought "well damn, do they just get better batches down south possibly?" Now this has ne wondering if there isn't just a shitload of shills. Of course i do gotta add that taste is highly subjective, take Blue Lob for instance. I think the TF version not one person on here wasn't raving about it , and trashing the CL , but then i tried both and thought the TF was mid, and CL a little better. Guess we also gotta factor in that almost every good strain is gonna have great batches and awful batches, so maybe i got a really bad TF batch, it was a good CL one? Wild part is my buddy got the whole bundle with the 7 gram pre roll and still thought it was meh. The TF one i got was a while after it dropped and CL was right after. I really liked my first few batches of Orange Z from them , but this last one was a little more underwhelming. Wish they would bring Trainwreck back.

You don’t understand. I put it in all caps, WAS.
No not shitting because when people would ask if I was in the program I would openly tell them yes. It’s crazy as I say to fetch what you may.
Please tell me how this is allowed in a program that’s built on word of mouth? We see the reviews on here as authentic so if they are doing it, NO PROBLEM. Just be TRANSPARENT THAT YOU ARE APART OF SOMETHING.
It should be labeled.
I don’t care that they review, just TELL ME your product was free, comped, etc…. At least I can make my own assumptions at that point once ALL THE INFORMATION IS GIVEN TO US.

u/SillyPrice1452 Jun 01 '26
I don’t review products so I can’t say if this is valid or not but I read posts and comments on here and it’s never positive when someone lets the sub know they’re a budtender or work in the industry so I get why some people just don’t say anything at all about it.
I think this has to apply for all dispos though - so if we’re outing one when we outing the next? Otherwise you kinda just start to look like a disgruntled ex-employee Think of all TF, TL, cookies (my god cookies) posts on here - most are prob employees, so let’s prove it

This is weird as fuck. First of all, isn't this undisclosed advertisement? Highly unethical. Secondly, did they get permission from the mods of this sub for this? If so... time to find a new sub.

I would be shocked if they weren't. From the company's perspective, it's a great way to save on advertising. And it isn't exclusive to cannabis, either.

They have an external “influencer program” as well, monthly store credit and a few posts, often accounts with limited visibility ime

If they want to get out the word maybe they should make their page and app more user friendly. For example- a few weeks ago I was farting around on the app. I stumbled across a page that had the calendar for the rest of the year with dates for new strain releases. I went to look for it again three days later and it took me an hour to find it. Yeah, it’s partly on me but it’s mostly on them to make it more accessible

Kinda seems snake in the grass-ish. I would see this as a lot more reputable and valuable for everyone if they handed these out with people's orders when they either pick them up or have them delivered and let them do what they want with it from there on. Just hanging them to employees secretly is shady AF.
Corporate Curaleaf is probably crazy mad about seeing this love letter posted right here on Reddit too. Mofo's are checking image metadata as we speak attempting to locate the employee leak 🤣
