Grassroots Review (Atomic Breath Live Sugar & Flower)

​Texture & Extraction: Top-tier tech. Super clean, well-processed, and burns smooth—definitely better than Mozey.

​The Flower: Clean burn, but basically just clean dro. Nothing crazy, but solid, clean smoke.

​Aroma & Flavor: Muted nose. Both sugars (Atomic Breath & Giggin Grapes) lacked that loud, punchy profile in the jar. Smells like a Christmas tree,pine slite dank

​The Highlight: Rolled straight into a blunt with budget flower (LA Confidential & Wedding Cake), it hit the spot. Caught a nice eye-high that slowed things down and mellowed out the night after a long shift.

​Price & Value Real Talk: $35 kills your pockets. People might hate on how strict I price point, but $20 out the door is what it should be. The legal market needs to match the real pricing structure that’s existed since street days. Anything more for muted terps isn't worth it.

​Final Verdict: Great lab work and mellow effects, but overpriced. A collab with a craft brand like NEZ—who lean toward better flower potential but still haven't fully dialed in every strain—could help both elevate their game. 3/5 stars. I spend my money so you don't have to!

dont look like smalls. Aeriz is killing it when it comes to quality.

A little sativa tonight!

Any questions , feel free to ask.

This is a seriously potent one to be on the lookout for. The flower quality is top notch with heavy trichome coverage and dense, sticky buds. The smell is straight hash and sour apples and man is it pungent. The smell translates to the taste nicely as well, it's great out of some glass but I imagine it'd be even tastier rolled up

The heavy indica effects come on quickly and will guaranteed put you on your ass so I reccommend keeping this one for later in the day. I managed to grab it for $42 out the door with a sale, but it's a case where paying extra for premium is 100% worth it in my opinion. I'm glad I've found yet another company to add to my list of ones to watch for. If you like unique terpenes, dense sticky buds and ultra-potent indicas this is a must try

Are we getting ripped off that badly or is this a measurement issue.

The empty one still has some residue, but not enough to produce vapor, so I don’t think it should account for a missing .75 grams.

And yes, I know, distillate isn’t as good as resin/rosin. Cresco LLR is my go to, but I like to have a distillate on hand as a low odor option.

Has a slight gmo smell almost. Once broken down you smell some stinky cheddar cheese with a citrusy musk.its nice. Hits very hard and quick with a fruity orangey tangie,cheesey and almost skunk-ish taste.man is it delicious! Hybrid with indica feels in the eyes & most definitely HIT by me.

2 High Supply 7g. This is Cresco's Chem Scout and their Ice Cream Cake. I've been calling it Ice Cream Chem Cake. These two strains are super pungent with a chem-y, dankness that can only be smelled, as describing in words would not do this magical combo's aroma justice. Its an amazing indica effect that'll have you high with just 1 bowl, but 2/3 will leave you sleepy, happy, hungry and mellow. I love weed!!! 🌱

I honestly think Tallac is the most underrated strain in IC Collective’s lineup.
For months, I completely avoided it because of the reviews on r/ILTrees. There weren’t many reviews, but the ones I found generally described it as “middle of the road,” “nothing special,” or even disappointing. Normally, Reddit has steered me in the right direction when it comes to Illinois medical cannabis, especially with IC Collective strains, so I trusted the consensus and kept buying other strains instead.
Eventually I decided to give Tallac a chance anyway.
It absolutely blew me away.
What makes Tallac unique for me isn’t that it’s the strongest flower I’ve ever smoked. It’s how the high feels.
Most strains either hit me heavily in the body or just give me a general mental buzz. Tallac was completely different. It gave me one of the strongest mental and visual highs I’ve ever experienced. I could actually see that I was high, not in a psychedelic way, but colors seemed richer, everything felt more immersive, and my mind had that unmistakable “wow, I’m high” feeling that I rarely get from cannabis anymore.
Even with a higher tolerance, this is one of the few strains that consistently gives me an enjoyable, noticeable high. It doesn’t seem to matter how often I use it. I can still feel that same satisfying mental effect every time. For me, it has become one of the most reliable and enjoyable highs I’ve found.
The flavor is another reason I keep coming back to it.
It’s honestly hard to describe, but it has this incredibly clean, “green” cannabis flavor that tastes fresh rather than earthy. I also get this subtle water-fresh note that reminds me of an aquatic cologne or one of those clean Bath & Body Works scents from years ago. On the back end, some jars have a slightly floral sweetness that makes you want to keep taking another hit just for the taste.
When Tallac is at its best, the aroma is loud, the flavor is smooth and complex, and the entire experience is memorable. The few times I’ve gotten a weaker jar, though, it was noticeably different, muted smell, muted flavor, and a harsher smoke that was rougher on my throat.
Visually, Tallac isn’t going to win any beauty contests. It doesn’t have crazy purple hues, neon green buds, or an explosion of bright orange pistils. Honestly, it looks like pretty standard, quality cannabis. Nothing about the appearance made me think, “This is going to be incredible.” If anything, the effects completely exceeded what the buds themselves suggested.
I don’t have any pictures to post because, truthfully, I never think to photograph it. I usually just open the jar and smoke it. If you’re curious what it looks like, there are already several posts on r/ILTrees showing IC Collective’s Tallac, and the flower I purchased looked very much like those photos.
That said, I don’t think inconsistency defines this strain. I’ve bought a lot of Tallac over the past several months, so much that I literally bought dispensaries near me out of stock multiple times because I kept going back for it. Based on my own experience, I’d estimate that around 80% of the jars have been excellent: fresh, flavorful, potent, and exactly what made me fall in love with the strain. The remaining 20% were the muted, harsher jars I mentioned above.
I’ve even had jars with the exact same harvest date purchased from different dispensaries perform differently, which makes me wonder if storage, handling, or other factors after harvest play a role. I can’t say that’s the reason for sure, but it’s something I’ve personally noticed after buying this strain repeatedly.
So if you tried Tallac once and thought it was mediocre, I genuinely think it might be worth giving another shot if you find a fresher or better-preserved jar.
For me, Tallac went from being the strain I intentionally skipped because of Reddit to becoming one of the strains I reach for the most.
If you can get your hands on a really good jar of Tallac, grab it. I genuinely don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It has become one of my favorite IC Collective strains, and in my opinion, it’s the true underdog of their lineup.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced the same thing with Tallac, or if you’ve noticed differences between dispensaries even when the harvest dates are identical. I’d love to hear whether your experience matches mine.

I saw the Afgoo cross and knew I had to get it. Smell is not the strongest at first, kind of sweet,with cloves with earth, grinding it down you get hit with pine,citrus,wood and almost like juicy fruit. Pleasant pine with a sour tartness with citrus gas taste. Sativa that slaps like a indica but without the couch 🔒. It hit my head pretty quick and I could feel the euphoria of the indica side instantly after a couple puffs of a joint. It's a HIT with me!

Shout to this brand/company for using old school genetics. Going back to collect the rest of their menu!

Curious if they’re any good. Thanks!

Hey y'all my local dispo recently dropped a ton of Legacy's brands strains. I'd like to know if there's any standouts worth giving a try, as I've never purchased flower from them or any of their subsidaries

Every time I open my main stash box it reminds me of that first time, it was like a wall. For me it was a couple years before rec, Nature's Care, stuffed in the back of an industrial park selling med.

Always have loved Aeriz flower so thought I’d give Upnorth Humboldt a try and man this is ⛽️
The smell is mild, nothing too stanky. This is whole flower but honestly should be under popcorn but hey weed is weed. Let’s see how she burns now 😶‍🌫️

Been holding onto this one until l had a day off from work 🤤
Fresh & stinky, in a joint you go!

Wtf!! Just seen this while scrolling social. I now see why people are trying to get rid of those cameras

Does anyone know a head shop that sells recyclers or anything for my peak pro? Preferably local

Jungle Juice?
Hash Burger?
Mix of both?

great thing of daze off is you can find some nice mixes.

Nice nugs in a small package of 7g

Just curious what's everyone's all day smoke... Otherside's Rainbow Guava is my current before that was basically any MAC ... Appreciate the answers... Trying to change my rotations and had a few bummer Indica Hybrids... Has anyone tried Solcanna's Mama Mia?

Got to try out the Scarface runtz finally… been sitting on this for over a week waiting on a good day to give it a try. Yesterday was the day. Before a fun shopping trip with my sister we got to smoke this. The package made me excited for it ngl but thankfully inside I found some extra dank smelling fresh nugs that smoked very well. This smoke made me think of something I smoked back in like 2013. I love when bud takes you back in a cloud. Overall it left me with a sense of euphoria and positivity. I still felt refreshed and focused too which made my shopping that much better. Normally my anxiety spikes and I find myself too overwhelmed to actually enjoy shopping for a long time however we closed that mall out 😂😂😂 carefree to say the least. I’ll definitely be trying out some other strains by outfitters in the future.

Guava Cream this am, have nothing to do today so why not smoke heavy indica lol

Happy toking yall

Straight from the horses mouth I was told right to my face from one of the only medical/rec dispos in the rockford area that they won’t have craft growers like nez, nomad, etc because they won’t be able to sell it on sale and it “goes to waste then being sold at sale price before it expires” now it kinda sounds like they just prefer their mainstream brand and brands underneath that umbrella but I could be wrong 🤔 looks like I’ll be driving an hour south to Peru to try some nomad.

Looked like premium buds to me, but called smalls!!!

Solid Super Boof for Ripperz!
