They say you can't say the name because people in corporate ladders somewhere will get mad at you...so I just put an emoji in front of it and called it a day 🤷‍♂️. Regardless, I had to let you all know about this extra sexy Gor***a Glue from one of our new favs Buddha Buddy. I guess you could say I'm a pretty huge fan of little Buddha's buddy above ^. In addition to its fresh, spot-on, and overpowering scent, the sheer amount of kief that precipitates off these buds is astounding. All hyperwhite and you could almost say fuzzy or furry, these trichomes are no joke - and that's for a cultivar that's known for laying down some heavy white layers. A 60/40 indica dominant hybrid, this cross of Chocolate Diesel and Sour Diesel strains packs a tremendously euphoric high that will leave you giddy and bleary eyed for hours from a generously pulled bong rip. An additional benefit that I really like about any of the glue crossbreeds is that, for me, they happen to have excellent nasal decongestant and antihistamine-like qualities. These effects are extremely beneficial given my seasonal nasal allergies! To get some of what we, and little Buddha there, are going to be rolling a lot of this weekend hit up Buddha Buddy DC today! Tell them Toker's Guide sent ya!

We call it "live" resin because it's made from fresh cut flower (the freshest possible) which is flash-frozen, pressed, and refined. If done properly the end product that results has retained nearly all of the ideal terpenes and cannabinoids that would otherwise have been lost in the drying and curing cycle. If you want to get a really good idea of what live resin "done properly" is, check out the new "Bully Lungs Co." line of live resin, caviar, applesauce, and badder from Top Secret DC. The live resin itself is our first stop on this fantastic flavor carnival. Without hesitation I can say that this is some of the most flavor rich concentrate I've come across. Typically you have to come within several feet of cannabis concentrate by the gram in order to catch it's aroma - not in this case. With an array of specific cultivars like Suga Cookies, Skywalker (pictured above), Jet Fuel, Trufflez, Outer Space and many more this is a great way to 1). get a sense of what the truest, purest effects of these plants is supposed to be and 2). best manage strain tolerance that can come quickly without a variety to choose from. Those tokers aiming for even higher terpene levels can look to their "Applesauce" version. This is, effectively, live resin that has been put in a closed system and adjusted using temperature and pressure to further increase concentrations of desired terpenes. In this manner the creator can amplify certain flavor profiles and effects. We found their "Pop Rox" (pictured above) to be impeccably delicious and remarkably like the candy - even with little spikes of tart flavor seeming to act as the "pop". This isn't your grandmother's applesauce! Take live resin, whip it, mix it, and vacuum purge it at a higher temperature and you'll get an even more refined version called badder. At this consistency and viscosity it acts more like the cake badder you'd find in a baker's kitchen - hence the name. What that means is that you're now smoking, er dabbing, only the most "desirable" aspects and the results can be even more intense from a cerebral and euphoric perspective. Note that in this form you will lose some of the terpene specific entourage effects of the sauce and resin. Personally, I find the live resin and sauces great for sativa, daytime-oriented purposes and the badder for nighttime indica's. To get "caviar" or jelly hash, bubble hash is typically mixed with hash oil to make a highly delectable treat. In this case, it appears that badder was mixed with live resin sauce to create an even more luxurious version. We tried "Da Runtz" (pictured above) and were super impressed by its ability to capture a multitude of complex flavors. If you think about, isn't that what Runts the candy is anyways - many different fruit flavors in one handful? Bravo on the caviar! If you're into concentrates and reading this already has you cleaning and prepping your dab rig, I highly recommend giving Top Secret DC a shout ASAP and grabbing some of these delectable Bully Lungs Co gifts for yourself!

Hi Tokers! Ever wanting to keep you all better informed of the best cannabis out there in the DC scene, we present to you, Toker Vision. Toker Vision is the first installment (test really) of our mission to present the best of what we're seeing from around the District right now...all in one place. If you're currently looking for the best around town, or will be this weekend, these are the things that we're toking on: I-71 Flower Top Secret DC - Wedding Cake: A favorite of ours due to it's very pungent skunky, yet sweet aroma. Makes the mouth water as it sets you adrift on a euphoric buzz. Still has the energy to get you off the couch for weekend festivities though. Puff Kings DC - Animal Mints: Always the bready/skunky powerhouse, we love this one as the days get hotter. Something about the taste/aroma and summertime. Joint Delivery - MAC: Truly an excellent batch of the very smooth, sweet, and fruit MAC! Buddha Buddy DC - Jungle Cake: We haven't made our way to see it yet, but we're hearing good things about this typically very gassy, very skunky varietal. Concentrate Top Secret DC - Bully Lungs Co. Live Resin and Caviar SO f'ing deliciously terpy oh my yum yum! <---this is not hyperbole. DMV Organics - Banana OG 'RAW' THC Diamonds Medical Alternative Solutions - These guys are, of course, cultivators and you can't buy directly from them. However, you can find their products at almost all of the DC Medical Dispensaries. Anyhow, they just took down some fine, fine looking Super Glue that we will be reviewing shortly. This and some very flavorful Petro Chem are two of their strains you should keep an eye out for. That's all for now folks! I hope everyone has a very happy and safe Memorial Day weekend! If we find anything else out there as we're making our way around we'll post them as quick updates in the comments below!

Rarely is an edible so aptly named as these Big Bad Sour Bears by Puff Kings DC. They are bigger than your average bear and absolutely FAR badder, in the mid-90s meaning of the word. Fast-acting and super potent these gummies boast 50mg of THC and 25mg of CBD and you will feel every milligram! They come in 5 different flavors/colors and none of them left me disappointed in the taste department. A personal favorite were the blue raspberry but each of them a delight in their own right. If you aren’t super familiar with the effects of strong edibles you may want to ease into these like you would a hot tub... However, even the most jaded edible enthusiasts will have a hard time not rediscovering why they love eating fine dosed confections such as these. Be sure to liven up your Memorial Day weekend with these awesome Big Bad Sour Bears by Puff Kings DC!

Unmistakably, MAC genetics have gained popularity with tokers nationwide. Today we bring you the MAC 10 - or as we jokingly call it around the "office": Return of the MAC - from The Safe House. This newer addition to the lineup with its moderate, steady, long-lasting buzz is an immediate all-day favorite...and I do mean ALL DAY. First, this was my wake-n-bake choice. In copious tokes, this MAC 10 slung me into the atmosphere as the rooster crowed. Side effects included me asking what color the time was? Handle with care, I say.😎 Not to be confused with the spicy space cabbage of a similar name called just plain MAC (a complex combination of Alien cookies x starfighter x Colombian), MAC 10 comes from the legendary MAC F2 x (Starfighter x Colombian) instead. This combination, an important distinction, offers higher than average THC test results reaching 32%. So you could say the MAC is back, and even stronger than before. MAC 10 has been given the green light by connoisseurs country-wide for all-day use. The terpinolene found in this bud, which is known to have sedative effects, is only present in moderate amounts. Thus, keeping you on a steady stress-free, but highly relaxing, buzz all day is made possible. When it comes to initial flavor, there are notes of soft, sweet, and citrus as first, with a gassy skunkyness on the exhale. The structure, trichome coverage, and suppleness of this bud all indicate to me that it was expertly grown and cared for. New and highly effective strains like MAC 10 are a MUST-have when adding to your toker reserves and I definitely recommend keeping this one in your rotation. Stop by DC storefront The Safe House and grab some for yourself today!

Hello beautiful tokers! I'm coming to you all this fine day to put you on to one of my new flavor favorites, Ice Cream Breath from The Stoner's Table. Note, however, that this ice cream is not just any plain scoop of vanilla, it is the whole sundae - and you're gonna want to breathe it in for sure. I have most definitely been blessed with various sweet, creamy, and skunky strains in my time, but this was a beautiful contradiction of aroma and flavor that kept my senses guessing. You wouldn’t think the flavors sweet and absolute gas would belong in the same sentence, but here we are. This batch is also an outright kief MONSTER. I always like breaking up some fluffy stuff, but these tightly packed powerhouse nugs are just as delightful - and sticky fresh too! In fact, I must say that all of the designer flower that we got from Byrd over at The Stoner's Table was impressively trich'd out, very full in flavor, and super fresh. This goes a long way in a town where the freshest thing about many people's "designer" flower is the bag. It's extremely obvious that Byrd cares a tremendous amount about the quality of his weed, and we very much appreciate this. Thank you Byrd! In terms of effects, this strain is probably close to a 60/40 indica heavy hybrid. One sweetly inhales and at the start of the ultra gassy exhale a woosh of full-body calm and peace of mind is inundating, but not overly sedative. It's more of what I call a "Satur-daze" strain. Perfect for kicking back and melting away the stress of the week, but not leaving you so comatose you wake up on Monday morning wondering if the whole weekend was a dream. You heard it here first. If you consider yourself a connoisseur of cannabis do yourself a favor and scoop some of this sweet frosted treat from The Stoners Table ASAP...and tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Hey tokers! If you're not familiar with Georgetown Flavors - and you're into designer/exotic cannabis - you definitely need to check them out STAT. You might even say their entire menu is exotic by design. However, one that invariably stood out to me was this Cherry Lime Gelato. It's absurd. There's so much variation in color and an absolutely flabergastingly strong flavor and aroma that I had to share it with you all. It honestly might have sold out, come back, and sold out again...and you can definitely see and tell why. When it first graced my palate my expectation was for something of a similar nature to the Gelato #33 or Larry Bird. What I got, however, was a similar smoothy creamy, gelato goodness, but with a decidedly tart and citrus aftertaste. Ok so it's not quite a cherry limeade from Sonic in cherry lime flavor, but I argue it's way more awesome. It was the kind of experience where I would push past the other bags in my sample box, grab the lemon cherry gelato and have to convince my self "no, Matt, you need to sample other varieties for other reviews." It was so bad, that I smoked too much, couldn't get good pictures of what I had left, then sent a secret shopper to get more (sorry guys it happens!) so I could get photos (they still don't do it justice). A 60/40 indica heavy hybrid crossbreed of Cheery Pie, Gelato, and Key Lime Pie she's not going to leave you couch-locked, but does have the power to immerse you in immense relaxation. She's the kind of bud that will rush to your forehead, roll in a euphoric wave down your spine, and then envelope your whole body in a gentle warm glow...but you'll still have the energy to casually float through any toils of the day. Sounds perfect for a weekend! Holler at Georgetown Flavors today and get yours (or something of the same caliber if it's already sold out).

Many of you are familiar with Runtz - the now infamous cross of flavor and potency powerhouses Zkittles and Gelato. You may also be familiar with the similarly flavorful cross of Gelato #41 and Triangle Kush called Gushers. But, do you know about Gruntz? This is, of course, the crossbreed of Runtz and Gushers. It's a veritable who's who of fruity candy-themed terp monsters...and you can get it right now at Top Secret DC. While running pretty close to 50/50, there is still a slight indica skew with this batch, but I think it's a good thing in that it leads to more juiciness from the Gushers side of the house (it runs slightly more indica). Note: You will go through an interesting olfactory journey with this upon opening the bag. The first notes you encounter are certainly skunky with a hint of coffee, even. Yet, as you continue to inhale the fruitiness oozes through. Then, just when you think the tour is over, here comes the Gelato influence with a creamy, chocolatey finish. The complexity of flavor is truly worthy of the finest palate. BTW, it's been a while since I've recommended a beverage pairing. For me this goes excellently with a mezcal old fashioned - one of my "go-to's". The smokiness of the mezcal intertwined with the multitude of bold flavors from the bud creates an exquisite aftertaste you have to try (if you're into smoky, boozy, cocktails that is). In terms of appearances and structure, this bud is cultivated nearly to the highest level. The trichome coverage is great, but I wouldn't say "thick"...and that's ok. Sometimes the methods to achieve, and even the actual over-presence of, trichomes can lead to a sacrifice in flavor. I don't believe the cultivator "let-off" for this purpose though. It's more likely that he/she/they were simply enamored with the beauty of her colas and decided there was no need for further "assistance". In either case, well-done. I think this specimen actually does well to represent an ideal balance between natural beauty, power, and flavor. You could say it's a pure example of the breed in that sense. Overall, partaking in this bud is the epitome of connoisseur-level experience. I can say this on flavor alone, but the effects are as heady and euphoric as you'd expect from our top ranked DC I-71 service, Top Secret DC. To think, it's not even technically on their "top shelf". To get your own bag, give them a shout today!

When you cross Reclining Buddha, a highly enjoyable and enlightening indica heavy hybrid, with Mendo Breath the result is nothing short of an incredibly potent indica. One with the sheer power to evaporate every last particle of moisture from your mouth, turn your eyes super squinty and red, and make you raid your cabinets for ANYTHING crunchy. This one's name is Buddha Breath and if extremely relaxing, highly euphoric indica body buzzes are your thing, this batch is for you. We thank our friends at Puff Kings DC for the opportunity to review this rare and highly exotic specimen! Aside from the sheer intensity of her high, there's also the exotic beauty of her multi-hued colas. They're a deep, rich green smattered with little flecks of purple and even blue. Her cure is near perfect leaving her structure both crisp and spongy in the right places. In aroma, this one is much like an exotic kush but with an overt amount of skunkyness. That same skunkyness, most certainly ascribed to the Mendo Breath's genetic influence, over powers nearly all the senses upon exhale. The aftertaste, however, has a slight hint of citrus - which makes for an even more sophisticated flavor. Maybe after a long hard day's work you want to come home, plop down on the couch, pull a few tubes, and evolve into a vegetative state for a few hours? Well this will make you the gold medalist of that activity - or should I say lack there of. To get yours hit up Puff Kings DC ASAP and let them know that Toker's Guide sent you!

Happy Friday tokers! I hope everyone is recovering from the major midweek holiday that was 4/20/21! We had a blast roaming around to all the different dispensaries and storefronts in town. Much more on this to come in our upcoming DC 420 Caravan article! In the meantime I wanted to quickly bring to your attention something that should not be overlooked. It's from our good friends and outstanding DC weed delivery service Top Secret DC, and it's called White Gushers. As you might have expected from the name, this nearly balanced hybrid strain is typically "gushing" with fruity flavor, but not quite to this extent. From my experience, Gushers has often been smaller nugs smattered in purple hues with a great flavor and decent nose. It typically smokes well and comes with a very noticeable head and body buzz that is long lasting. This batch is head and shoulders above other recent ones I've seen in terms of it's super fruit forward stance, and noticeably more potent too. Yes, there must have been some extensive pheno hunting involved as the juicy, fruity flavor is much more astounding and pronounced than usual. Additionally, the purple is much darker on the outside, then when you pop one of these, generally larger, buds open, it's aglow in starry and hyperwhite trichomes ....and FRRRRESSHHH too. Oh my! What pure delight to behold! The freshness is palpable not only in the aroma and flavor, but in the effects as well. There's this lingering, eye squinting, cozy sweater-esque buzz surrounding all that you do after you partake. Even the fruity/skunky/juicy/sour flavor permeates every breath and paints any activity you undertake. Much like the famous candy adored by kids for its deluge of flavor, this strain creates an inescapable onslaught of sweet, fruity, skunky cheeba (Jack's got me calling it this now). Like a kid in a candy store, but without having to leave your house (if you're in DC), check out Top Secret DC and set a delivery or pick-up for your own bag of this top shelf Gushers today!

To me the name Slurricane gives off a vibe like it's the largest or fastest roller coaster in a super aggressive amusement park. Similarly, these super aggressive looking Slurricane buds give you a roller-coaster type high - first heading toward the moon with a rush of excitement, then thrust spellbound into complete euphoric relaxation. So, ok...with that in mind why don't we see how far we can carry the roller coaster metaphor forward in this review? Step right up, grab a seat, keep your arms and legs inside the car and come along on the joyride that is: The official review of Slurricane from Fast Slice DC. The first few puffs of this glorious cultivar leave you in a state of cerebral euphoria. I noticed it has some creeping effect too; the longer I was up and moving, the slower I seemed to become. This bud, errr...ride, should come with the warning “users may feel serious elation followed by insurmountable sedation.” It's an Indica lover’s dream for sure! On appearances, this "coaster" is an intimidating one - certainly as formidable looking as she is in effects. The hearty buds remind me of ever-green-like trees that have been steadily blasted with snow all winter long - must be a winter-themed ride, lol. There are also beautiful tints of frosted purples and orange pistils strewn throughout. When you Inhale her the tropical-berry-like notes are the ones greeting you right before you begin your climb to the apex. Then a hint of spice on the tail end (or aftertaste) lets you know just how exotically potent she is. With your mouth awash in these complex flavors the smoke surges out, forcing a giddy cough and perhaps even an exclamation of "Oh shit!" You might even want to through your hands in the air and yell "Weeeeeee". I decidedly recommend this "attraction" for experienced tokers who are familiar with heavy-hitting indicas. In testing, the strain has generated results as high as 28% THC and with mega strong parents like Purple Punch and Do-Si-Dos it's not hard to see why this packs the punch that it does. To get your ticket to the awesome amusement park ride that is this batch of Slurricane, hit up Fast Slice DC today!

Spring is here, my lovely Tokers! The weather is wonderful, recreational cannabis legalization is just around the corner, and the majority of American adults should be vaccinated by July! Our world is about to reopen in a VERY big way! What better way to celebrate than with a wee bit of indulgence in our favorite plant! Who could possibly assist us in our celebratory cannabinol indulgences?!? My colleagues and I at Toker's Guide are excited to introduce our community to our good friends at Promoco DC! A labor of love from DC locals, Promoco DC is a relatively new i71-compliant delivery service based in our nation’s capital. Make no mistake, fellow Tokers: just cuz Promoco is new to the scene is no reason to underestimate their services. Over the next week, we’ll be taking a look at several of Promoco’s products and offerings. I was fortunate enough to tour Promoco’s facilities and witness their operations first hand, and to say that I was impressed would be an understatement. Firstly, their facilities are SPOTLESS!! Their spot was so clean and tidy that I straight up felt self conscious about my own cleanliness. Having a background in service and hospitality myself, I learned long ago that if a business isn’t clean and hygienic, it’s usually a bad sign. I watched the Promoco team work diligently with laser sativa focus as they crafted their specialty items in small batches BY HAND!!! Small boutique operations with focus and attention to detail typically produce the kind of quality products that consistently maintain the high standards that I seek out in my cannabis products. To begin our journey with Promoco, let’s check out their high-quality lab-tested distillate! We’ve discussed distillate before, but if you’re wondering what exactly distillate is? Let’s talk about it! With a potency of nearly 99%, cannabis distillate is not to be trifled with. For new and inexperienced Tokers who don’t know, Cannabis concentrates isolate and separate cannabinoids like THC and CBD to create a pure and refined final product that goes above and beyond the potency of your typical flower. Distillates are typically created through an extraction process that separates and refines molecules and contaminants to create a clean, almost clear concentrate. Other extraction methods don’t produce nearly the same purity level or variety of uses as this technique, making it highly regarded as a concentrate. Distillate can be vaporized, OR used to make edibles that enable inter-dimensional traveling. A variety of extraction methods have been developed, the most common of which use the solvents butane, propane, CO2 and alcohol. So what is a “solvent”? Solvents are essentially any liquid that dissolves a product into a solution. Hash oils are produced with various extraction methods that use these specific elements to extract the raw oil from the plant. There are now various concentrate consistencies such as shatter, budder, sap and sugar! Cannabis distillates are created using a short path distillation technique that differs from typical solvent extraction. This process creates pure cannabinoids without chlorophyll, plant matter or residual solvents. Distillate is arguably a healthier way to vaporize cannabis due to its purity and lacking plant matter. Promoco’s robust roster is sporting super pure, solventless, pesticide free, lab-tested distillate! I’m always concerned about the cleanliness and safety of my cannabis products, and the peace of mind provided by seeing these lab results is priceless. Promoco’s superior distillate is lab-certified free from pesticides, mycotoxins, residual solvents, heavy metals, microbial impurities, foreign materials, water activity, and vitamin E acetate! Promoco’s distillate is category 3, meaning it’s been tested and passed regarding its potency and the absence of fungus and pesticides. They conveniently packed their distillate into carts for vaporizing and into syringes popularly known as “darts”! Their vaporizer cartridges are certified C-Cell, ceramic coil, and lead-free copper. When your cartridge is empty tokers can simply use their darts to refill them! The darts/syringes can also be used to infuse your favorite edibles, take dabs, or coat your blunts and get next-level elevated!! Since the distillation process removes strain specific terpene profiles, Promoco has reintroduced them to provide all the benefits without the harm of vaporizing any plant matter. They source only the best botanically derived terpenes from companies like Fogg Flavor Labs and True Terpenes. Fogg Flavor Labs in particular uses steam-distilled, all-natural, organic, non-GMO terpenes - YUM! In addition to all this great work Promoco is doing, it’s possibly the commitment to community and charity that I find the most endearing. I like to patronize businesses that create a positive impact in the community, and Promoco has partnered with Errybodyeats to do just that. A DC local non-profit, Errybodyeats helps empower food-insecure communities to live sustainably by supplying health-conscious meals, personal protective equipment, and educational opportunities. Tokers guide is excited to welcome Promoco DC to our growing community! Keep a lookout for more reviews from their impressive menu and give them a shout to pick up your own carts and darts today!
