Starting Point! Frenchy Macaroni 14g Bag Cannabis Review
Most retail stores do not have many options in the half ounce (14 gram bag) packsize. I feel like in the ounce size, most stores will have a good variety of options and definitely in 3.5g or quarter oz bags.
I was shopping at the Neku Cannabis’ Hamilton location and I thought I would give Starting Point a whirl… this is the Starting Point!
Obviously most consumers who have the choice, would prefer indoor grown AAAA+ big beautiful buds. But to offer more approachable price points, some concessions need to be made. In the legacy market and as an OG smoker, I always have a fondness for outdoor sun grown cannabis. Infused by the natural terroir, outdoor cannabis has its place in the pecking order.
A word of advice young pup, smoke it and assess it. That’s the fun part of consuming cannabis. It’s not about the destination… it’s about the JOURNEY!

Thoughts:
You get what you pay for. That’s the appeal of outdoor grown cannabis. It is the way it was originally meant to be grown, feed by nature and the sun. These outdoor economics and synergies (savings on utilities and ultra fancy facilities designed to keep the growing parameters in the ideal range) are why this product is at such a low price point.
Bag Appeal:
The buds were actually all pretty decent sized. The smell was more on the earthy and grassy side, lacking punch. The buds were on the drier and crunchier side and we lacking in squishiness factor. As you can see in the pictures above, some of the bugs were a much darker colour than others.
The Smoke:
This cannabis actually gives me a nice little body buzz and gets me feeling good. Not an overly powerful high, but a chill I’m feeling good and low key type effects. I enjoyed chain smoking this strain and I never felt burnt out. The ash is a dark black colour when smoking joints, so it doesn’t pass the white ash test.
The Verdict:
At this price point, I will try it again. Most competitive SKUs are milled or smallz at this price. This slots into the budget friendly chain smoking joints all day and night vibe. Just don’t be expecting a AAAA slapper type high.
