I recently received my order from Attitude. Here is the photo of the Blue Dream packaging from HSO.
(You can't make it out, but you can see the wording at the very bottom)
It's very beautifully done, but I was bothered by a small detail. I did not mind that the package was difficult to open, perhaps there is good reason for this. However, I noticed at the very bottom on the back in small print (small enough I couldn't get a clear photo of it) is written "WITH LOVE FROM CALIFORNIA".
Until very recently, I was fooled into believing that HSO was somehow related to a co-op in Humboldt County, CA; hopefully I am not the only one. I didn't notice the British spelling of "organisation" until after the order was placed. Other things on some HSO webpages also deliberately mislead readers to assume they are from the emerald triangle.
On other threads on RIU, I've read where people say that Dinafem Seeds and HSO use the same packaging and were suspected of being sibling companies such as Hardee's and Carl's Jr. or at the very least a brand of Dinafem as Maxwell House is to Kraft. I don't know that this is even evidence of anything... but the shirt I ordered with my HSO seeds turned out to be a Dinafem shirt.
I do not really care for a company that feels they need to be dishonest about their products and I doubt I will order from them again for this very reason. I have no idea what goes on at their headquarters, but if this much dishonesty had made it to me... I would not be surprised if there is much more taking place there.
Comments, corrections, criticism appreciated.
