Greeting tokers! Jeremy Rider here reviewing another great gift from our friends at DMV Organics! Today we’ll be discussing the Large Sample Gummy bag they've put together with a variety of their awesome gummies, featuring various dosages. I swore an oath to uphold journalistic integrity, so I spent a week researching each gummy dosage from a sober baseline...several times...in the name of science? Quit sweating me I’m out here in these streets figuring it all out so that you, dear reader, don’t have to! I also might be the only writer on staff that is SUPER into edibles but whatever, let’s get into it! First off, as I’m sure many of you know, eating cannabis & inhaling it are too very different experiences. I’m not a doctor, so I encourage you to experiment responsibly. Eating cannabis products may affect you differently than what you’re used to, and definitely don’t operate any automobiles or heavy machinery. An individual’s body weight and metabolic rate, as well as what they’ve eaten or drank throughout the day, can all factor into the experience of edibles. The large sample gummy bag features a variety of gummy shapes and dosages. Using organic distillate of an Everest X Dark Star flower, a 50/50 indica/sativa hybrid, the gummies are made right here in dc. This distillate, as I mentioned in my prior brownie review, is incredibly potent and has virtually no cannabis flavor. The gummies are also packaged really well every time, so they’re nice and fresh. In case they somehow get lost in the back of your fridge (doubtful) there’s an expiration date included. Across all gummies, the flavor and texture is excellent including the sour gummy option - where I have seen other vendors often falter. As a long time recreational enthusiast I have a lot of experience with edibles. I’m also a lean guy with a fast metabolism and I’ve always seemed to have a pretty strong tolerance. After spending a week sampling each of these gummies' individual dosage from a completely sober baseline, my experiences were as follows: Starting off with the lowest dosage, the gummy bear sports a 15mg dose. I really enjoyed this as I felt it was a great micro-dose. If you’re looking to just get a little tingle, this is for you. Personally I really enjoy micro-dosing as I feel it allows me to still run around doing boring grown up stuff without getting too lit. In these cases I am still able to move and function safely, still able to get all my work done. The bear probably kicked in within 45 minutes of consuming, and I was feeling pretty much sober again in a couple hours. I also toyed with having 2 or 3 bears at a time, and really enjoyed being able to increase my dosage in small 15mg increments. For me personally, anything below 50mg's is a walk in the park, anything above that and I’ve got to start taking on activities of a less serious nature. Next up, the gummy worms. Big jump in dosage from the bears as the worms are carrying a 75mg dose. I tried this after I’d gotten home from work and within the hour had a very solid buzz going on. Honestly, this was quite an intoxicating dose as I spent the evening relaxing at home and then slept very, very well that night. The next format is the 100mg gummy rings, and…well...these are no joke. Within an hour of eating i was quite buzzed and definitely incapable of operating anything responsibly - NO vehicles people! Several hours later I was still feeling the effects of the ring. Do not underestimate the strength of a 100mg dose! Finally, the gummy leaf. At 200mg per dose, this is the strongest, most potent gummy available from DMV Organics. Needless to say, this got me VERY high and I pretty much melted into my couch, snuggling with my dog, where I subsequently passed out. Took about an hour to kick in and I was feeling it for probably about six hours. Definitely unable to even pretend to be a grownup in this scenario, I was still feeling slight effects the next day. NOT for the newbies at ALL! With the total pack containing 10 Bears, 2 Worms, 2 Rings, and one Leaf, the Large Sample Gummy Bag is a delicious and highly effective way to spread your edible consumption across a significant period of time. Note that DMV Organics is also able to accommodate dietary restrictions and requirements based on order volumes, so if you’re looking for something specific, or if you’re in search of some fantastic gummies, reach out to them today!

For the Sunday evening edition of Toker's Guide, I'd like to direct your attention to a vaping apparatus that is immensely popular on the west coast (and other states with recreational cannabis laws). It's called Plug and Play and in the DC market it is carried as an awesome gift from I-71 power player Exotic Blooms. Well, actually, to be more specific, the device is called "Play" and the cartridge is called "Plug". In this case, the Plug's flavor is Pineapple Cooler. One of the best things about the Play is that not only is it exceptionally lightweight and durable, it also holds a charge for over 350 puffs. You can kind of equate it with a more luxurious, more robustly engineered Juul battery. I also thought it was pretty cool that the packaging for it opened up like an old school VHS tape, but leery that a significant percentage of my readership may not be familiar with a VCR at all. The Plug, similar to a more advanced Juul Pod, has even more intriguing packaging. In fact, it's anti-counterfeiting tech is considerably more robust than the STIIIZY I recently reviewed. Note that, at the outset, it has a push button and a no-return, slide out drawer built into the box. However, as an additional layer of security of theirs also has a QR code that links to verification system, Cannverify, and a scratch off area with a unique identifier. With all these protections in place, one has to assume that people must be consistently trying to knock off this product - a good sign of its caliber and quality. Diving into what you're probably waiting to hear about, the functionality, the puff...does it hit? You know it does. It's immensely tasty and OH SO strong. It's not quite the smoothness that the STIIIZY is regarded for...yet, is that what you want ALL the time? Sure you can tone it down a bit and take smaller, smoother puffs, but with the Plug and Play you can also take a blast that will deliver what you want, at a higher level of intensity, immediately. In this case what you'll feel after taking a blast of the Pineapple Cooler is a head rush, then headband, then a complete inundation of a Pineapple, Piña Colada-like flavor. It's definitely on the sativa side of things, and it certainly leaves you, as the Plug and Play site claims, happy and uplifted. It's also made from Grade A solvent-free cannabis oil. If you're looking for a strong-hitting, mouthwateringly delicious, uplifting, vaping experience from a brand that has trust and security baked into their packaging at the highest levels, then I suggest you give Exotic Blooms a shout today!

Good Morning! It's time for a brunch toke session and today I'm taking along this insanely good Space Monkey from Joint Delivery. Space Monkey is a very indica heavy hybrid (85/15) with highly euphoric effects. But wait, keen readers might be asking, why would I want to, effectively, wake and bake with an indica? Well friends, some mornings you just want to relax and be mostly sedentary on the couch. Wether you're hung over (this is an excellent treatment btw) or just in need of some serious rejuvenation after a hectic week (my present scenario), this bud's definitely for you. With Gorilla Glue #4 and Wookie #15 as parents it's humorous to note the forging of the name implies that if Chewbacca and a gorilla created a wookie/ape hybrid it would be, in fact, a space monkey. The name also (correctly) implies the incredible speed with which this strain can send you hurling into an out of this world high. Expect the couch lock to set in quick with this one and, much like how wookies have been known to tear people's limbs off when they lose, it may render use of your arms and legs futile. In fact, as I write this, it's getting harder and harder to type because the gloriously comfy tingles of a Space Monkey buzz is beginning to overtake me. In terms of the caliber of this bud, I think the pictures more than speak for themselves. The coloration is a smattering of green and purple hues. The trichomes are perfectly mature and twinkling like little stars under the light above the macro lens. It's quite crisp to the touch and you would think it to be brittle, however it's still retained its resinous stickiness and, therefore, doesn't break up that easily. Face it, you're gonna have it all over your fingers like glue. The aroma is like that of a Gorilla Glue with, perhaps, a little extra skunky funkiness. In taste, however, things get much more exotic as there are notes of what seems to be similar to a green tea mixed in with the skunk. Interestingly, the complexity of the flavor combined with the unfocused joy of the buzz might make you ponder, trying to place the flavor, for a little too long. If you want to make it a mellow, healing-oriented kind of day, or if you just want to take a millennium falcon ride to Narnia, this Space Monkey isn't in a galaxy far, far away. In fact, it'll come to you, at near light speed, by setting up a delivery with Joint Delivery today. PS: Don't forget to use promo code "TokersGuide" for $10 off.

Happy Hump Day! Need a little pep in your step to help get you through the week? This FIRE Durban Poison from our friends Exotic Blooms is absolutely exceptional and has enough sativa status energy to get you to Saturday...and beyond! If you're not familiar with Durban Poison, and you're a sativa lover, you HAVE to try this. If you ARE familiar with the "Durb", you still HAVE to try this batch. It's hands down the best Durban I've ever had - and I've had it A LOT. Its piney forward haziness is obvious from first whiff, but soon gives way to citrus with hints of lemon and grapefruit, but also...pear? Uggghhhh, the smell alone is seriously to die for and it completely translates to the flavor as well. In a vape, good luck setting it down. I also highly recommend a fat cone of this baby right before some pool or beach time - it just goes so perfectly with the sunshine, adding to the comforting warm glow on your shoulders. In terms of genetic background and lineage, this strain comes from an original landrace sativa variety out of South Africa. The story goes, that famed cannabis evangelist and explorer, Ed Rosenthal, successfully brought it to North America in the 1970's where it was instantly well received. Since then it has been the parent (and great grand parent) of numerous sativa and haze-oriented offspring. From a texture standpoint, it's so notably soft and subtle to the touch, yet supremely sticky. Like everything from Exotic Blooms it was groomed to perfection from start to finish. Yet, for me, this one shines a bit above the rest simply because of the sheer size and prevalence of its trichomes. I know I'm always harping on trichomes this, trichomes that, but seriously, this time it's completely absurd! So whether it's the emphatically energetic tree you need to help get you through your week, or it's the centerpiece of your stash for this upcoming weekend, I urge you to consider this Durban Poison as your selection for daytime use. I've got mine ready to burn and you can too - just hit up Exotic Blooms today! And don't forget to mention promo code "Toker's Guide Sent Me" to get $10 off your order!

This batch of Grape Stomper of the "JD Flowers" line from the always fantastic Joint Delivery has the most delightfully strong grape aroma I've smelled on a flower...maybe...ever? It's a strong statement, but here I sit with a sizable jar of several different impeccable varieties, each with their own top-shelf aroma to flex, and the most pronounced aroma to first emerge from under its lid is irrefutably grape. It's not simply the type of grape aroma and flavor that you get from a grape juice. No, it's much more comparable to the grape-ness of Big League Chew or Grapalicious bubblegum. I mean, shouldn't Grape Stomper BE the name of a grape flavored bubblegum at this point? As a cross of Chemdawg Sour Diesel and the ever exotic Purple Elephant strains, both heavily stimulating on the sativa spectrum, it's easy to gather how much energy this strain can generate. Sativa dominant might not quite cut it, though the claimed hereditary line is 70/30. Yet, even though it's intensely invigorating, it's not overpowering and certainly did not elicit any anxiety-oriented effects for your's truly. In fact, quite the opposite - I found it to possess incredibly peaceful and creativity inspiring mental effects. At the end of the day, however, you definitely don't want to use this one at the end of the day😉 . Daytime only! Cultivator's note: the layers of trichomes on this batch suggest pure professionals of the highest order and, likely, extensive use of CO2. Note that properly managed CO2 supplementation during budding/flowering can not only increase overall yield, but also spur intense trichome growth. Of course, genetics play a huge role and not every plant will be able to max out trichomes to this level. Regardless, bravo 👏 If you want to taste some truly immense, truly exotic, grape stomping flavor, or if you're into inspiring, energetic, sativa-heavy hybrids, do yourself a flavor...I mean favor...and hit up Joint Delivery today!

When I've found myself needing to partake/medicate in places that are a bit more discreet in the recent past I've typically turned to concentrate pens and various Atmos rigs and wax cartridges (see past article here). Prior to that I was using the occasional vape cartridge (typically live resin), but halted all such activity when the EVALE issues presented themselves back in 2018/2019. Doesn't EVALE seem like SO long ago given all the COVID ridiculousness since? Anyhow, I recently found myself needing to be highly discreet again and, in a serendipitous turn of events Exotic Blooms simultaneously asked me to review their new STIIIZY line of THC pods, specifically the Skywalker OG strain. I was more than happy to oblige 🤗 While I've known Exotic Blooms has had phenomenal flower for some time now (see their other reviews), what I didn't know was that they also carried equally as amazing concentrate gifts. Shame on me. I had no idea what I was missing as I could have fallen in love with this whole SIIIZY thing a lot earlier. Why's that? First off, a quick search of STIIIZY products from across the webisphere reveals consistently stellar reviews. There's also trust built into their system in the form of excellent tamper proof and hard to counterfeit packaging. Yes, cellophane is easy to re-wrap, but there's a button on the side (as seen below) that is the only way to release the pod and, when pushed, cannot be replaced into it's previous state. This way I can be highly confident that the pod and its contents have not been diluted or replaced with an inferior, or even dangerous substance. Similarly the starter kit has tamper proofing and ways to verify the model number online. Beautiful! Without a doubt the best thing about STIIIZY, however, is how UNBELIEVABLY smooth the experience is. I could literally sit with the thing in my mouth and breath normally without any burn, cough, or nose tingle. It's quite shocking actually. And for what it offers in astounding smoothness, it doesn't sacrifice anything in potency. I woke up with the STIIIZY stuck to my lips, my lips stuck to my teeth and my tongue a dehydrated shrivel of what it once was in the parched, cotton-filled chamber of my mouth. This stuff is incredibly stoning! The buzz is typically euphoric of a strong Indica varietal and the taste too is right on point with the flavor of the Skywalker OG I can recall so well from my cultivation days. This makes perfect sense given STIIIZY's clear attention to detail relative to the quality of their "botanically derived terpenes" and commitment to "uphold a high level of purity" - as noted on their website. I have to say that the flavor, effects, and experience overall have been exemplary of impeccable quality - not to mention highly, highly enjoyable. Big thanks to Exotic Blooms for providing the starter kit and the pod, you have created an instant fan. I absolutely love this thing! Give them a shout today and jump on the STIIIZY train with me you guys!

How is it that i made dinner AND got caught with the dishes?!? Not cool fam! Taco night was over and I’m not the kind of person that can let the dishes just sit there. Interestingly enough, this is also akin to why I’m the type that can benefit from cannabis. Some might say a little OCD, but hey, what’s wrong with wanting things to be fresh and tidy? As I finished up the dishes I started to think of rewarding myself with a little dessert. It had been a long day and I’d been productive so I felt like I deserved a treat… …and that’s when I remembered the brownie. I’d gotten the brownie almost a week ago and, honestly, I was slightly worried I’d waited too long. Would it be stale? I also remembered the warning from DMV Organic’s excellent customer service rep, “BE CAREFUL!!! it’s made with distillate so you can’t really taste it!!!” What is distillate? Through a refinement process the desirable compounds (like THC) are separated from the undesirable plant matter. What remains is a potent translucent oil that’s flavorless. Using a flavorless oil is great for edibles as it allows chefs to avoid poorly contrasting flavor profiles; you don’t want your brownies to taste earthy or piney right? DMV Organic’s distillate is made from organic Everest Darkstar 50/50 hybrid flower, is solvent-less, and absolutely a healthier way to get your cannabis, which I am ALL about. I finished up in the kitchen and fetched the brownie. It was a pretty standard, delicious looking brownie and, holding it in my hand, I noticed both the quality of the packaging and the still existing softness of the brownie within. Now I was exceedingly confident in its freshness, which registered true as I tore it open. MMMMMmmmm - who doesn’t love that fresh chocolate brownie smell? I’m experienced with edibles but at 200mg’s per brownie I thought it was best to take their advice, proceed with caution, and eat only half at first. Made with dark CaCao it had an abundance of chocolaty flavor. Cacao is also the reason dark chocolate is considered to have such plentiful health benefits. A notable source of flavonoids, CaCao may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health while boosting mood and energy too. It comes as no surprise that it’s considered a superfood given high levels of antioxidants (more than blueberries), iron, calcium, and magnesium. You might even say that I’m not really having dessert - instead I’m eating superfoods and being healthy (or something)! haHA! An hour passed and I’m feeling pretty nice so I think it’s safe to eat the other half of the brownie. It wasn’t until an hour later, when I realized I’d been shaping up my beard for WAY too long, that I realized how truly high I was. You ever have that moment where you realize you’re high as fuck in the bathroom? I was having that moment. DMV Organics was right; their brownie is the ninja assassin of edibles. It’s so unassuming since it’s made with distillate and you can’t taste it, but believe me, and my well trimmed beard, that it’s there. DMV Organics makes their brownies local in DC. They are nut free, and if frozen have a shelf life of 6 months. If you have specific dietary restrictions they are more than happy to accommodate for orders placed in advance. Honestly, this is one of the more solid pastries I’ve had in DC and its potency is not to be second guessed! To get your hands on one (or many) give DMV Organics a shout today!

Do you remember the smell of play doh? I can still vividly recall the pungent aroma that would immediately emerge from the yellow plastic containers with red tops full of the doughy stuff. Whether the tubs were new and one solid color, or old and 12 different play doh colors mixed together, the joy was still the same. This appropriately named Play Doh Cake from Exotic Blooms actually shares many of the interesting qualities of yesteryear's children's favorite sculpting putty - it's sticky, it's a slew of different colors, its smell will cover and inundate everything you do or touch, and when you experience her effects you'll soon realize that it comes with a giddy, playful and creativity inspiring mega-buzz. It's the stuff dreams are made of, which is pretty much how I recall feeling about play doh when I was a little kid. ☝Just look at those big beautiful hyper white trichomes galore! Upon inspection it's abundantly clear that this bud is cultivated to perfection with every fine detail attended to. For its density it burns remarkably fast, smooth, and with a hyper white ash. While phenomenal in any medium - be it joint, bowl, or vape - I highly recommend pulling a tube of this stuff and entering the vortex headlong. NOT FOR THE NOOBS! Getting down to what I think is its second best attribute, taste, you've probably never tasted anything quite like this before. It's like someone took London Pound Cake (previously reviewed here) and had a lab accident that created the strongest, sugary cookie dough flavor possible - undoubtedly a hulk-like moment. This flavor also happens to be extremely long-lasting, existing many breaths after you've initially exhaled. In terms of genetics, this is a sheer mystery. There's literally no other info, not even a bread crumb, out there on this strain. Of course, this isn't uncommon when it comes to designer, super rare, and/or exotic strains - after all these ARE very valuable trade secrets. So let's try to make an informed guess shall we? Even though Exotic Blooms lists this as a sativa dominant hybrid, I would argue that it is probably closer to 50/50 in effect with some noticeable indica-oriented euphoria, which certainly overshadows any rush of energy. The flavor profile being close to an intensely strong London Poundcake is somewhat of a giveaway that this has heredity from the Cookies family. Knowing the LPC was was a cross of Sunset Sherbet and an unknown indica, perhaps this is Sunset Sherbet crossed with a different indica? Or, more likely, perhaps someone crossed LPC with another flavorful and robust strain? If I had to guess I would point to another "cookie" or "cake" cultivar as the other parent in this cross. How about Cookie Dough? It makes pretty good sense from a flavor profile standpoint and also given that it would allow for the "Doh" portion of the name. Plus, it's a Girl Scout Cookies phenotype that ends up highly doughy in flavor. Seems like we could be on to something here, eh? Hmmmm. Want to take your own guess? Curious about this epic cookie dough/cake batter deliciousness? Maybe you just want to experience the nostalgia of playing with something called Play Doh again? Hit up the always punctual, always phenomenal Exotic Blooms today and get some for your own toy box.

Hello fellow tokers! Jeremy Rider here. I’m stoked to begin posting my own reviews and insights on the Toker’s Guide platform and I couldn’t be more elated to tell you about this phenomenal concentrate gift that I’m such a big fan of right now. Have you been endlessly searching for that brain tingling buzz that’ll remind you of the first time? Look no further! This product will definitely do the trick and I personally LOVE the citrus flavor. It’s called Lemon Crème Pie “RAW” solventless crystal and it’s just one of the amazing variety of gifts now available from seasoned DC I-71 service DMV Organics. For your knowledge “crystals”, or “sugar diamonds” are an extremely potent, solventless pure THC-A extract. This, along with some delectable terpenes and other cannabinoids (~1% of the substance), are all derived from organic Lemon Crème Pie flower - a balanced 50/50 hybrid. Made by extracting live resin from the plant through a complicated and lengthy process involving cold extraction, the end product almost resembles granulated sugar. Ever get annoyed at how much work goes into enjoying concentrates? One of the nicest things about this is its ease of use. The crystals’ very stable consistency provides the user with a virtually hassle-free experience - it’s non adhesive and easy to work with, no crazy tools needed. Sweet lemon terpenes provide a phenomenal flavor and intense effects. The flower itself typically contains an average of 20 to 25% THC, whereas the crystals contain almost a full 100%. Essentially, the Lemon Crème Pie concentrate is almost four times as strong as the flower. The best way to enjoy this product is either with a vaporizer that can accommodate concentrates, or a dab rig. Remember the crystals have to be heated to 350 degrees fahrenheit or higher. Honestly this is one of my favorite products available on the local market right now. It’s a little more expensive, but in my opinion completely worth it as just a little will go a very long way. To get yours, give my good friends at DMV Organics a shout asap and don’t forget to tell them Toker’s Guide sent you!

Quick Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, this is just my own personal experience with this amazing cannabis product. It might be different for you, so take my words with a grain of salt. I just really felt the world needed to know about another possible tool in the arsenal of analgesia. Read on! Greetings, TokerVerse! Thanks to the Cannabis Connoisseurs for allowing me to be your guest poster for the day! To introduce myself, I am a Lady Toker, and today I want to talk to you about Live Resin cartridges. Specifically, Sunset Sherbet from C’Art. This indica dominant hybrid has a fresh-squeezed lemon-leaning citrus flavor with a hint of berries and has something to offer anyone who needs to mellow out or soothe some aches and pains. But to my fellow lady tokers out there, this will change your world. Guys, ear muffs for a second! Ladies, how many of you have experienced any kind of discomfort from that monthly blessing we like to call P.M.S.? If you haven’t, please tell me your secrets. But for the rest of you, maybe you get some wicked cramps? Or sleepless nights? Or perhaps you want to pummel your significant other for no apparent reason? Let me tell you...a puff or two of this baby and you will feel like an angel has enveloped you in her soft pillowy arms, you’re floating on the fluffiest cloud imaginable, and all those frustrations seem to have melted away. Euphoria is a word that comes to mind. You may find everything seeming just a little less overwhelming. This might be a great time to binge some Big Little Lies or any other Reese Witherspoon masterpiece, or just drift off to dreamland to one of the best naps you’ve had in a long time. If you don’t feel like zoning out, it will help you feel more calm and elevated, almost floating through the rest of your day. It’s considered a medium for both head and body high, which provides a great balance. Even when Aunt Flo isn’t making herself at home as an unwelcome (or welcome!) visitor, we’ve all had days where anxiety or unexplained irritability seems to rule the day. Difficult decisions or other issues can seem almost insurmountable. I find that a little hit of the Sunset Sherbet helps me step back from things just long enough to allow the dust to settle and things to become clear. It can be the perfect headchange for putting things in perspective and allowing me to move ahead. Slow down to speed up! Finally, thanks to way too many hours of screen time and not enough yoga, sometimes I personally feel like a little demon hand is clamped around my neck and the pain can be excruciating at times. The Sunset Sherbet is one of the only things that will chill that little demon out and make it let go. The relief is a Godsend. The best part is that these cartridges are small batch 100% cannabis, boutique grown, and locally made.They’re also pesticide free and 100% nug run, which means only the big beautiful buds are used in the creation of this cannabis concentrate. And they are harvested and immediately frozen, then extracted, achieving maximum terpene profiles for taste and effectiveness. Can’t recommend enough! Get it from Puff Puff DC!

Happy 4th of July everyone! What better way to celebrate the birth of our nation than by toking down on a delightful indica named for the 44th president, Barrack Obama. They say he was fond of the herb, but I won't speculate about the frequency of his sessions. This one, rather appropriately, comes to us from the always phenomenal Top Secret DC. Worthy of representing it's namesake, this bud is a cross of Skunk, Afghani, OG Kush, and Bubba Kush - basically a who's who of old school heavy hitters. Running 70/30 on the indica side, she is highly cured with exceptional potency capable of flooring even the most seasoned tokers. NOT FOR THE NEWBS! Perhaps, most noticeable about its effects are the immense body buzz. Take a rip, lay down, and tell me if you don't feel a rolling glow moving all throughout. Great for meditation, yoga, or just catching up on some Z's, you probably don't want to roll this up before a vibrant cookout or fireworks celebration - socially distanced of course. But, tomorrow, if you're nursing a hangover, this is gonna be the best snuggle buddy. In terms of aroma, this batch is very much on the mellower fruity spectrum, almost like a grape cream soda. In taste, it's more exotic with sweet, sugary notes along with an earthiness that is distinctly kush-like. Note that the grower certainly took their time and gave high attention to detail with the result being a staggering amount of bright white trichomes strewn across every available surface. I bet you could make incredible bubble hash out of this! Hmmmm 🤔 It could burn just a tiny bit smoother if I had to make any criticism, but this is easily addressed with a water pipe or vape. I commonly find that exceptional indica's are more harsh than many sativa oriented cultivars. This is likely because of its ancestry's durability to survive harsh mountain winters - heartier leaves and buds make the smoke thicker. That said, in the vape, it's excellent with no detectable lack of smoothness. In a blunt or joint, it certainly will not disappoint, likely leaving everyone in the circle zombified for several hours. Give homage to one of the USA's greats, President Obama, this July 4th and pick yourself up some Obama OG from Top Secret DC ASAP!!!

So, I'd like to mention that I got a pretty sweet new lens for my camera that allows me to take photos at much greater magnifications. What does this mean? Well, I got to nerd out and snap magnified photos of buds for a few hours this afternoon. What does this mean for you? It means that photos are about to get even more interesting and even more in-depth discussions about various cultivars can ensue! Get psyched! Today's specimen is one that I'm especially fond of presently called Kush Mintz. It comes to us from the one and only Joint Delivery, whom you may have noticed has climbed to the 2nd spot on our Top Five list (and deservingly so given its current lineup of flower). Kush Mintz is a relatively new, kickass hybrid strain that runs true to its proclaimed 50/50 indica to sativa ratio. With Bubba Kush and Animal Mintz parents, its potency easily rises to the low to mid 20's regarding THC levels and it packs a knockout euphoric body buzz without too much concern for couch-lock (though it is certainly possible). Overall, I'd say it's a really happy, mellow, cookies-esque high with a strong kush back. The aroma is the first aspect to astound you when you pop open the pack. It literally makes your mouth water similar to opening a pack of thin mint girl scout cookies (like the actual cookies) after plucking them from the freezer. It's remarkably minty, doughy, skunky, and coffee-like in flavor and it burns so fast and so smooth you can't help but to keep filling the pipe or vape up again and again. If this bud was a comic book character super hero its awesome super power would be its freakish mutant trichomes. These things are huge, seemingly sharp, and arranged quite neatly in almost razor wire-like fashion. They won't actually cut you of course and you might even think about how the meanness they seem to express visually actually translates into one of the meanest toking experiences I've had in a long time. That's "Mean" in a good way, of course. If you're a fan of really great fucking weed - and if you've read this far I know you are - then I highly recommend hitting up Joint Delivery today and picking up some for yourself. Next up, I'll compare and contrast this Kush Mintz with the similarly amazing M.A.C. & Mintz (also currently available from Joint Delivery).
