We have nothing negative to say about any of these services and wish them as much business as we are currently enjoying. But there are some important issues to be aware of when deciding where you will be buying your bud online and we at Leaf2Go.co Online Dispensary Canada try to always stay on the right side of these issues – making sure that we will be here when you need us. 

What to be Aware of When Buying Bud by Mail  

While our good old Canada Post service firing people left right and centre, even shutting down locations across the country since their services are in less and less demand these days, there is one business sector that is growing fast for Canada Post – Bud by mail. Canada Post is being used more and more for delivering bud by mail. Marijuana is by far the number one illegal substance seized by Canada Post over the past three years. Literally tonnes of bud are crossing this great country of ours each year in Canada Post packages. 

How is this even possible you ask? Well, as of 2008 tens of thousands of Canadians have been given the legal right to use marijuana for medical reasons and, after a rethink on who is allowed to grow the bud for these people, a majority of this legal bud is being sent to these legal users via Canada Post Xpress Post and other mail services. Given this state of affairs, and the reduction in personnel at their sorting facilities, it should come as no surprise that Bud by Mail is a growing business in Canada. 

How to Pay for Bud Online: The first thing you should be wary of is how to send your money. Let’s be honest, the Internet is awash with rip-off artists and fake sites. Buying anything off the Internet needs to be done with caution. Never send cash or even checks in the mail – that’s an obvious one. Sending a money order is one step better. But electronic money transfer is by far the safest, fastest and easiest way to send money for buying bud online. In Canada we have Interac eTransfer which I use exclusively. I don’t want anyone sending money or checks in the mail.. Too much can go wrong if it gets lost. Any online bud seller is taking a risk to accept such payment methods. 

Bitcoin is a good way to go and I would have that as an option if the banks up here in Canada would jump on the bandwagon. But sorry to say Buddy, it’s not here yet. If the Bud by Mail service you are looking at using only offers Bitcoin as payment method and is hiding out in the “dark web” of Tor infamy, then I’d suggest you stay away. Too shady usually means you are dealing with nefarious characters or even worse ass holes who are just out to rip off the masses and disappear. There are dozens of examples of such fly-by-night outlets that are no longer around. So stick to the daylight world. 

Canada Post Xpress Post service is the preferred way you should have bud by mail delivered in Canada. It is fast and it is guaranteed. https://www.canadapost.ca/web/business/mailing-and-shipping.page? How fast? If you live in or close to any large city then you are looking at 1 to 2 days delivery. If you live in Nunavut, the Yukon or the Northwest Territories then you know you have to add a few days to that. Canada Post Xpress Post service also includes what they call “on time delivery guarantee”, tracking and delivery confirmation, online delivery updates, and up to $100 liability coverage. Pretty good service if you ask me. 

FedEx, Purolator and DHL are all more costly and more risky since they have more advanced techniques for checking contents and they are not short on people to do that kind of work. But even more important to keep in mind is that FedEx and the like will have your package sent over international borders and then back again, specifically, the mail order bud will go over the US border and come back to Canada. This is so stupid to do. Trust me you want nothing to do with bud crossing the US border. Stay clear of private courier services for getting budbuddy weed for this reason alone! 

Do you put your real name on the Budmail order? I mean, for decades we have all been dealing in the dark alleys of society to get our hands on this innocent plant. How is it we can now put our name on a box full of bud and have that box hand delivered to our homes without the fear of being caught out? It comes down to one simple word – priorities. 

No one wants to waist their limited resources to bust small individual users of weed. Considering that a large amount of the bud sent by mail in Canada is legitimately going to legally licensed medical marijuana users, this is not a priority. So don’t go putting a fake name on your order since all that does is risk the chance that Canada Post won’t deliver to your address: often if the name and address do not add up in their database then they return the mail to sender and you don’t get your bud by mail. 

Cross Border Shipping: You will find that all three of the top mail order marijuana services in Canada – Leaf2Go online dispensary and BudMail – refuse to sell weed online to anyone outside of Canada. That is a critical business decision. Imagine how much more bud they could sell online if they accepted US orders. It must be hard to say no to the green-backs. 

But there is a very good reason to say no to US orders. Up here in Canada we are enjoying a period of growing public acceptance and inevitable decriminalization and legalization (especially if there is a change of government in Ottawa). But in the US, Washington State and Colorado aside, all levels of government and policing authorities still see weed as a highly illegal substance. 

Sending marijuana over an international border, or any product derived from it, or even seeds (as Marc Emery’s budbuddy service has learned the hard way), is not a good idea if you sell to under age kids. If the online bud seller says he will sell to people in the USA then you can be sure that outfit will not be around for too long. Don’t deal with such idiots. When they go down you never know what client information may be seized by the FBI or what have you. Stay clear buddy. 

Quality and Selection: Here’s where Leaf2Go.co is heads and shoulders above the pack – product quality. A lot of bud mail order services sell whatever they get their hands on. I am one picky bastard when it comes to buds. Every marijuana strain and product I offer has had to go through me first. 

If it isn’t something I would be personally pleased with then it doesn’t show up on my site. Quality is job one as they say. I believe it is quality of bud and top rate professional service that will have my customers turn into clients – for life. Sure you can get cheaper buds somewhere on the Internet but if that’s how you think then I don’t really want you as a customer. Quality goes both ways you know. Quality customers want and deserve quality bud. All my weed and the THC Vape pen extracts from them are made with 100% BC Bud – developed, grown, harvested and processed by British Columbia’s finest producers. 

Yes, the famous strains of BC Bud and Canadian Edibles are now the feed stock to almost all other growers globally, but to know that the bud you buy online comes directly from these master growers, people who have been doing this for over twenty or even thirty years, means that the bud and thc vape you buy from me is as good as it could ever get. No unwanted chemicals in the final product. No substandard growing conditions. No beginners armed with great seed stock but no experience in growing. Smoke my buds, dab my shatter or blaze my hash and you will agree I am loud and proud for good reason.

Budbuddy’s Quality control is nothing compared to McChroanlds. www.Leaf2Go.co doesn’t just stop at the strains and growers for quality control. The processing of bud into THC extracts is done with the utmost consideration of purity. For example, all hash on my site is made only with the best BC Bud, filtered water and ice and different sized meshes. No additives at all! Trust me, you don’t want to know what is found in hash from other dealers out there. Shoe polish is one additive that comes to mind. 

So please, Buddy, try the best and fxxk the rest. Same can be said for the THC Weed Wax or shatter I carry. Pure and as high THC content as anyone out there can make. If you are going to purchase budbuddy concentrates, be aware that they need to be made right, otherwise, there are all sorts of unwanted chemicals that could end up in the final product. Leaf2Go.co THC extracts are made by professionals with industrial grade purging machines. If someone uses Butane for refillable lighters in making their BHO (Butane Honey Oil) products like shatter, dab, oil, then there may very well be some Benzene still in the final product. Not good.

One thing buying anything online offers is a greater selection than any brick and mortar store can carry. Same should be true of buying bud online. If the service only carries a few varieties of weed then you are probably dealing with a small time outfit. I will always carry a large selection of Kush Indica’s as well as a couple or more of the hottest Sativa’s. Quality and selection usually go hand in hand. 

I hope the info above has helped you to make the right choice when you and your budbuddies do decide to buy weed online. If you have been stung in the past then please do give Leaf2Go.co a try and let us show you how it is supposed to work.
