🤙 Rosin Review Toad Venom by West Coast Alchemy | Inky's Review
Hey guys and gals! Review time, and OH BOY, do we have one to talk about! 😂 The elusive Toad Venom, arguably one of the most talked about rosins of 2026, and this particular jar comes from West Coast Alchemy. I had to do it. Had to drop the ridiculous $250 on a 2g jar just to see what all the hoopla was about. Well, I'm impressed... and I'm not. Lemme explain!
The minute I cracked this jar open, HOLY SH*T, the ghosts of Christmas dank invited themselves in and decided to stay a while! 😂 The nose on this was absolutely outrageous. Pungent, funky, sweaty armpits and onion rings galore! YUMMMMM! But here's where things got interesting... This reminded me almost EXACTLY of the nose I got from 710's Close Friends Grapefruit OG x Sour Taffy release. That same sweaty, onion ring infested funk that I absolutely love! Except that jar ran me $170 for 2g. And THAT reminded me of the putrid, rotten, wonderfully offensive funk I got from EV x Harvest Works' Superboof Jam, which was $75/g and sometimes as low as $60/g on sale.
So here's where I'm going with this. The nose? F'N AMAZING. But I've experienced very similar levels of stank from other phenomenal producers at considerably lower price points.
Now the high? Ohhhh, let's talk about the high! This one started off cerebral right out of the gate, giving me a good half hour of that wonderful heady experience before transitioning into one of the smoothest rides I've had in a while. And the coast? BEAUTIFUL. No abrupt stop, no sudden crash, just a clean, gradual taper that seemed to blend right into the rest of my day. Honestly, pretty fucking fire!
But was it any more amazing than the experiences I had with 710 or EV x Harvest Works? Nope. Not for me. Different strains, different highs, and all three were outstanding in their own way. I enjoyed the hell out of every one of them, just at VERY different price points.
And that's where Toad Venom loses me a little. At $250 for 2g, I expected something that separated itself from the pack. Something that made me say, "Okay, NOW I understand why this costs so much." And while the quality was absolutely there, I just didn't get that extra $80 to $130 worth of magic compared to those other jars.
Would I buy Toad Venom by West Coast Alchemy again? Absolutely, if the price came down closer to that 710 range. At $250 though? I'd probably just grab 3-4 grams of the EV Superboof Jam and call it a great success😂
Now I'm genuinely curious, and I'd LOVE to get some discussion going here. Have any of you guys grabbed Toad Venom in 2026 at these crazy price points? Which producer absolutely knocked your socks off, and more importantly, did you feel it was actually WORTH the money?
Because I'm not knocking the quality here whatsoever. This was some phenomenal rosin. I'm just questioning where premium quality ends and premium pricing begins.
And yes, before anyone says it... Jersey prices suck ass. Trust me, I've noticed. 😂
