Summer is here my lovely Tokers! Heat waves in the West! Cicadas in the East! What better way to celebrate than to chill out and listen to the buzz around you with some London Pound Cake from our friends at Promoco DC! Los Angeles based Cookies Fam has bred us a heavy hitting citrusy mystery in the London Pound Cake! Cookies Fam Genetics has an impressive cultivation operation in Los Angeles that spans 25,000 square feet, and they’re not sharing their secrets! Regularly testing between 26-30% THC, London Pound Cake is a potent indica dominant cross between Sunset Sherbert and an unknown mystery strain! Sometimes I’m frustrated when insiders won’t share their secrets, though I understand their reasons. Tokers if you have any insider knowledge or guesses as to the London Pound Cake genetics please let us know in the comments section! Don’t let this London Pound Cake catch you slipping fellow Tokers; it’s strong! Seasoned Tokers can expect blissed out head and body highs as well as a palette rich with diverse flavorful citrus notes. With a terpene profile dominated by Limonene, London Pound Cake smells and tastes great. Hints of berry, lemon, and pine are followed by cerebral effects and a relaxing body high. Tokers have enjoyed the multiple therapeutic benefits of this potent hybrid, treating everything from PTSD and depression, to chronic pain and inflammation, to migraine symptoms and menstrual cramps. Despite its potency and strength, London Pound Cake is known as a strain that does not induce paranoia. I enjoyed my London Pound Cake in the later hours of the evening; my days are typically too busy to indulge in indicas. I must say I absolutely feel like it helped me get comfortable as I’m recovering from a recent injury to my neck and back. I feel like the London Pound Cake helped to ease some of the tension and inflammation that resulted from a soft tissue injury. Nice, relaxing, and paranoia free evenings thanks to our friends at Promoco DC!

Happy Saturday Tokers! I'm back from my travels and I've been creeping through this week in an attempt to get myself back on East Coast time. Helping me with my urge to write/dance/play into the wee hours of the morning has been this phenomenal indica heavy, Phantom Kush courtesy of Puff Kings DC 👑. No longer in my travel-induced delirium, I can tell you this bud has been utterly magical. As I like to say, Indica is everything! Thanks to these potent indica-heavy buds, I was able to kick back and hit the R.E.M.'s. It took me an extra day (possibly two, not sure) to write this review😂. Safe to say, I enjoyed every toke of this remarkably frosty bud. To elaborate on her effects, first, I experienced a cerebral explosion with epiphanic-like thoughts and a strong urge to treat my kitchen like the set of Master Chef. Once the true kush-push effects set in, I enjoyed a long-lasting sedating high which came in waves comparable to the steady onslaught of a high tide. The waves kept coming 🌊🤯. Waves that delivered gradual, trickling physical body highs that force-floated me to my cozy den. This bud stuns with trichomes worn much like a woolly sweater the leaves are so frosted. The fluffy structure is indicative of a fresh indoor harvest for sure and the aroma gives me kushy earthiness with a fruity, grape-like flare. I love my grinder, but I prefer to break this one down by hand to fully enjoy its splendor. If you haven't already, visit our Puff King's page, where you can conjure yourself some of this magical metaphysical cannabis (AKA some of the best weed in DC) simply by finding their contact info and giving them a shout. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Hey Toker's! Super quick and all points bulletin regarding a new and simply fantastic DC I-71 weed service I just stumbled across. They're called Neon Treez, they have some exceptionally exquisite flower, and they're helping a really good cause - anti-deforestation. So consider yourself informed...and look at this Yeti Glue! 🤩😱😍 I mean these buds pretty much speak for themselves through these photos, but I'll try to do them justice with words. The thing that most impresses me aside from the completely insane amount of trichomes coating these colas is the intensely exotic and robustly sweet, skunky aroma. It's hard to put your finger - er nose - on exactly what it is, but take my word for it when I say it's f'ing awesome. Some of the colas are quite large as well, verging on cucumber. This is one of the benefits to local harvests - bigger fresher colas. That said, the Neon Treez staff has done an excellent job flushing and curing here. You can tell by both the supple pliability of the bud's structure, but also by the paper white, flakey ash that's left in the hitter piece after one rip. It's the kind of weed that makes you turn to your friend and say "hold up, I need an instant replay of that one!" That she runs in the middle of the energy and focus range is surprising given a lineage of indica's - Yeti OG and GG#4. I really love the immense rush at onset and the gassy, skunky, yet creamy exhale - so much so I had to go big for my personal stash. That's right, I'll be rolling this one up for at least a few weeks! Much like it's namesake this Yeti Glue is quite an elusive creature. Make sure you give the team over at Neon Treez a shout ASAP before it becomes nothing but folklore!

Happy Friday Tokers! It's May C. and I'm back to bring you another sparkling review for one of our new favorite storefronts that have been picking up “buzz” in the Petworth neighborhood. We linked up with All the Buzz this week and I rolled up some Blue Cheese🧀😆 so fresh it may as well have been sliced and crumbled on a charcuterie board paired with a southern cali red. It was that tasty! From the moment I opened this jar, I knew I was dealing with an authentic cheese (full disclosure I did not enjoy anything about my first cheese strain but have since acquired the palette). This strain crumbled in my grinder like the perfect feta 🤗! You know the cheesy strains when you smell them. Eyes closed, I would recognize the distinct stank. Every connoisseur knows the specific aroma of a typical cheese strain. Blue Cheese greets you with a sophisticated, matured smell and leaves you with a sweet berry-like inkling. How can cannabis simultaneously smell as enticing as it is stanky like a cheese? By crossing Blueberry x UK Cheese, of course. It is the most aromatically repelling bud you will ever love. All the Buzz is an i-71 compliant storefront found off of Georgia Ave. When you see the big bee, you have reached the hive. What’s the buzz? All the Buzz is creating a delightful individual-based experience for the cannabis curious and those in the know as well. Bringing good bud to NW DC is what ALL the Buzz is all about. An 80:20 Indica leaning hybrid, Blue Cheese, smokes heavy. The physical smoke is rich and viscous. She packs the whole room along with an immediate head rush accompanied by a wonderfully relaxing but comprehensible and seemingly everlasting high. Nothing could interrupt my beautiful other-worldly buzz (not even the cicadas). The nugs off of Blue Cheese show density with light to medium tinted leaves teaming with copper wrapped pistils. If you haven’t had the luxury of trying a cheese cannabis strain, we think you ought to! Head over to All the Buzz to get yourself some of this funky bud today - and tell them Toker's Guide Sent you!

We've reviewed a number of different Gelato's now from 33 to 74. I'm actually kind of surprised we haven't reviewed a 45 before, like this one from DC I-71 service Bagged Buds. A cross of Girl Scout Cookies and Sherbet, it possesses a sweeter, creamier profile than other Gelato's, but still comes with strong side of earthy skunkyness now notorious to the cultivar in general. One of the things I like the most about the Gelato's is their uncanny knack for giving you a really great body buzz. The kind where you've just pulled a massive tube, you know you're going to get pretty high and as you're walking away it still catches you by surprise when the euphoric fingers of the buzz's onset begin walking up your spine - so delightful! Many people are turned off by the smell of Gelato from the first crack of the bag or jar. This is because often its aroma can build up intensity and when released comes out in concentrations of floral energy that some are unprepared for. I sort of equate this with opening a bottle of fine wine and immediately smelling it from the top. This can generate undesirable responses to what is otherwise an excellent bottle. Instead, smell the cork first and let the bottle breath before evaluating. Gelato, as a cannabis strain, is quite similar. Crack the bag, wait about 20 seconds, then take a deep long inhale for at least 3 seconds. A good friend once told me that it's not until about the 2.5 second mark of smelling that a bud's true aroma comes shining through. To give this Gelato #45 - and the smell test I just mentioned - a try, hit up the long running and reliable Bagged Buds and grab yourself a bag today!

It's a beautiful Saturday morning and I'm happy to report that I got a great night's rest thanks to this lovely fresh-cut, indica dominant hybrid of the Super Glue variety from Alternative Solutions. Between this and yesterday's review about 🦍 Glue this weekend has sort of turned into being all about "Glue" strains in name - seems like kind of a sticky situation 😂🤦‍♂️. But please note that this is an entirely different kind of "Glue". While you might think this version is related to yesterday's diesel crossbreed and fan favorite, it is not. A cross of Northern Lights and Afghani, the whallop that this beauty possesses is almost purely indica in lineage. ..and what a whallop it is! With THC levels higher than 28% you're going to get some really immense euphoric feels and tingles that you might not otherwise experience. The fine experts over at "Alt Sol" have, of course, sprinkled their magic fairy dust on this batch as well giving it a nose and flavor supremely complex and exotic in nature. There are notes of lemon, orange, and pepper all blended with skunky pine overtones. The exhale alone is a connoisseurs' delight! If you want to get your hands on some of this phenomenally crafted cultivar, you'll have to go medical. But no sweat, we've got the guide to getting your medical card in DC right here. Just visiting the area? If you have a medical card from any other state you can easily use it here in DC by registering with the dispensary you choose to check out - that's right we have full reciprocity for medical marijuana here in the District! On the shelves right now at most dispensaries on our Medical Dispensaries list, check out this Super Glue from our good friends at local medical cannabis cultivator Alternative Solutions!

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!
