Each month, we scrape Reddit’s top six cannabis communities and track sentiment using a trend score made from upvotes, downvotes, and comment volume. May delivered strong opinions: negative experiences once again sparked high engagement, but the community still celebrated a handful of standout picks and great value buys.

🧾 By the Numbers

10 posts made the top list
3 of 10 had positive sentiment
6 posts were clearly negative
All top posts this month came from r/TheOCS

🥇 Most Popular Post:

Get rid of Kodo pro's and buy this
Trend Score: 1,074
Sentiment: Positive
Reviewer: u/HighBridzz
The most discussed post wasn’t about flower, but vaporizers: after struggling with Kodo Pro batteries, this reviewer switched to the Uni Pro Arc and insists it’s worth every cent—smooth rips, no clogging, and premium feel. The upshot? A strong community recommendation for making the switch.

🥈Runner Up:

Woody Nelson - Country Club: Cactus Milk (14g)
Trend Score: 1,050
Sentiment: Negative
Reviewer: u/gu88i
Despite high hopes, Cactus Milk underwhelmed: the nose and flavor translation were weak, and while the smoke was smooth, the reviewer isn’t rebuying. Still, they’re keeping faith in the brand and will try the next drop.

💯 Most Positive Post:

UK Cheddar Cheese from Big Bag O’ Buds
Trend Score: 735
Sentiment: Positive
Reviewer: u/ComprehensiveOil8598
This $100 ounce was praised for its unique cheesy-fruity terp profile, nice moisture (not dry!), and clean burn. For UK Cheese fans, it’s a rare win at a budget price.

🏆 Other Highlights

Woody Nelson’s Blue Gumdrops: Strong mango scent and “sedating” indica effects made this a crowd-pleaser and a 9/10 rating from u/Upstairs-Tea-1769.
Sixty Seven Sins: Visually impressive and sticky buds, though this drop (“Dante”) lost points for lacking taste and high compared to previous hits.
Hiway: A blunt takedown by a budtender who was unimpressed with excessive stem in their bag—even for budget weed.
Pure Sunfarms: Neon Lambo returns, but not in a good way. Dry, light nugs with clear trichomes: users ask, “This is what you guys call good weed?”
Back Forty: One user’s Chemzilla package was missing over 7 grams—earning outrage despite the brand’s usually decent budget rep.
Kronic: $42 for an eighth of Pink Kush that was dry as sawdust and flavorless, with no humidity pack. “Never again,” says the reviewer.
BLKMKT: Pink Kitty disappointed with muted terps and a high price tag; “at least the burn is clean.”

😬 What Was Negative?

It was a tough month for quality control:

Hiway, Kronic, Sunfarms, and BLKMKT all saw heavy criticism for dryness, lack of terps, or stems.
Back Forty hits the hall of shame for one of the worst product shortages seen yet.
Woody Nelson’s Cactus Milk, despite brand trust, failed to impress.

🎯 Wrap-Up

May was rough: 6 out of 10 top posts carried negative sentiment. The few wins—Uni battery upgrades and Big Bag O’ Buds’ UK Cheese—showed the community still celebrates great finds. But lackluster launches and shoddy product quality drew the loudest response.
