Beloved
stoner comedian TOMMY CHONG is now older, wiser, and officially an
EX-CON.
On the morning of February 24, 2003, agents of
the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched a sting called
Operation Pipe Dreams and forced themselves through the door of
Tommy's California home, with automatic weapons drawn. As a result of
the raid on his home; the simultaneous ransacking of his son's
company, Chong Glass; and the Bush administration's determination to
make an example out of the "Pope of Pot;" he was sentenced
to nine months in prison because his company shipped bongs to a head
shop in Pennsylvania that was a front for the DEA.
Thoughts;
This
was not what I expected. It started out strong with a soft middle and
barley there end.
I
was hoping for more back story and even more stories in general. What
I was ready was a lot of spiritual stuff, which I didn't expect or
want.
Tommy
Chong is a legend and I honestly expected this book to be great

Storyline;
Same
as Synopsis
Thoughts;
This movie was just ok.
Maybe I had high expectations because the first one was pretty
amazing but this was just not really funny. It did have moments but
it in no way lived up to the first
This one starts out with
a dream of the Troopers in a band, it ends with them working on a
house and working for Farva. They have a meeting with the Captain to
go fishing in Canada but it turns out that they are really there for
a job.
The Mounties don't take
too kindly to this. Drugs are found, same as the first one and there
are moments from this point that are funny, but it's just a moment
here or there.

This
was from my swap partner Stevie. When I first ordered in October I
could smell a chemical undertone to the scents, in this order I don't
smell them at all! Everything smells great.
Going
forward I am going to be testing all my rings due to myself
purchasing “fake” rings from a vendor and I want to make sure
that fake rings aren't being sent out by me or any other vendor.

Birthday “Trinket” Set and a Cocoa Unicorn Mini Loaf
Happy
Birthday set scented in; “A
toothsome cardamom-spiced celebratory cake teeming with chunks of
pistachio. Fluffy, pink buttercream frosting gracefully adorns this
feminine masterpiece…finished with a (figurative) light dusting of
sugared rose petals.”
Cocoa
Unicorn: “Milk Chocolate spiked with plum brandy and frothed with
vanilla cream. Our creation is then topped with clouds of whipped
cream, dotted with marshmallows.”
Thoughts.
This
order was placed on May 2nd,
I received it on July 2nd.
That's 2 months and all her excuses were regarding her oils. I don't
mind waiting at all for my orders as long as I feel that the vendor
is up front and honest with me. This vendor always told the same
story however it would be a huge post that took time to read, vs,
“I'm still waiting”.
Here
is the text posted on my YouTube video.
Let
me start of by saying, yes, I'm a vendor. Yes, I love wax, and I
generally tend to not speak poorly regarding other vendors, except on
my empties when I give my opinions of the melting scent. This was a
hot mess to begin with and after 2 months of waiting I received the
order you see here. Yes, everything was doubled as indicated in the
group and everything does look like the pictures posted on the web site, but I find the owner condescending and downright rude.
When
I brought to her attention that my items weren't labeled or packaged properly, she advised me that this is how all vendors ship their items
out and that it is not expected to store the items in. Hmm, no. From
someone who has been ordering and making for some time I know this to
be very untrue. I've ordered from many shitty vendors before but have
never once received wax in cling wrap.
Here
is the information and conversation with the vendor.
I'm sorry, but I feel like vendors should not speak to customers like this and they should know how to properly package wax and tarts. They should also take complaints in stride, never once did an apology come into play. This owner seems to twist things around to make it look like the customer is wrong and the number one rule of customer service is to not do that.
The vendor who has blocked me has most recently made a mile long post in her regarding the "abuse" that I put her through. I posted all screen shots of our conversation above. My intention was only to advise her that wax cannot be properly stored in cling wrap packaging. It is a known, well researched fact that all Wax items need to be packaged in Glass, Polypropylene, clam shell containers designed for this or #5 plastic cups. Yes, her wax is beautiful and a work of art, however for a consumer to be expected to purchase their own correct materials so they can store their wax is unreasonable. All consumers have a level of customer service that they expect. Personally, I expect to receive my product in the proper containers and second when I approach a vendor regarding the packaging, I expect more than being made to feel like I did something wrong. This is poor business practice.
I specifically waited to start melting until the "cure" date she suggested. I did re-bag and label everything so I'm not sure how this wax would actually preform if it were kept in the incorrect packaging that they were sent it. Here is my review.
Scent;
Happy Birthday
Scent Description: Cardamom Spiced Cake with Pistachio Fluff and Pink Buttercream
Thoughts: Even though this vendor is a hot mess, she makes an amazing product.
I tried these in several warmers, and everything was amazing! This
threw like a beast and smelled so good. I really wish she would get it together, package her products correctly (In correct bags) and
make sure everything is labeled, she could have a great business!
I
have started putting wax in all my warmers! I generally change out
all the upstairs one every other day and the downstairs one daily.
It’s still a little hard for me to keep track of what’s melting
BUT this is a challenge for me so I’m all over it.
There
are several warmers in the house, all of different types.

Although this was a lighter sugar cookie, this candle burned amazing.
It had a scent while burning but it didn't seem to carry, which is
fine since it's sugar cookie and the scent isn't generally that
strong anyway!
