We inspect
When we check a product, it gets a close visual inspection under a loupe — we look at the trichomes, the bud structure and density, the trim, the color, and any signs of mold or pests. Then we show you exactly what we saw.

How we check
We pair a hands-on visual inspection with real customer ratings, then put it all in one place. Here's exactly what that means — and what it doesn't.
The process
Three steps
Inspect, rate, organize. Simple on purpose.
You rate
Shoppers leave structured ratings — stars plus a fixed set of tags — instead of free-form noise. That keeps the signal honest and easy to compare from one product to the next.
All in one place
Our checks and your ratings live together in one organized, searchable directory — with the on-camera product checks attached — so you can see what's around NYC without digging.
