Ideally located in downtown DC between Scott Circle and Connecticut Avenue is one of DC's finest Medical Dispensaries, Herbal Alternatives. If you haven't gotten your medical card in DC, by the way, I highly recommend looking into it - and the reciprocity for all other state medical marijuana programs means if you're traveling into town, and have a license from another state, you're good to go. Herbal Alternatives even provides a great little "How to Get a Medical Cannabis Card in DC" page on their site that gives you all the steps in a tidy fashion. A big shoutout to Manager Alexander and "Bud Stars" Robbi and Claire for making me feel right at home and for showing me the ropes at their fine establishment. Another big shoutout for guiding me to this magnificent specimen of Lemon Skunk - what a throwback treat! Running sativa-heavy (60/40) and with astoundingly high levels of limonene on the regular, it's not hard to see why this old school award-winning strain has managed to remain so popular. The aroma is probably the most remarkable aspect to point out - the effervescent lemon will quickly and completely dominate your nose, but in the way that makes you just want to keep inhaling until you cannot anymore - you just can't get enough of it. Of course this smell is passed on through to the flavor as well, which blends with a skunkyness and tones of anise to complete the perfect trademark profile of this legendary cultivar. We highly recommend partaking in at least one joint to really get a true sense of the delectability at hand. Maybe you're looking for the perfect daytime smoke? Perhaps you're interested in experiencing exquisite examples of iconic strains of yesteryear? Maybe you just love the flavor of lemon zest in your bong. Whatever the reason, I recommend grabbing your medical license, heading to Herbal Alternatives today, and grabbing some of this epic Lemon Skunk for yourself!

Time to slow things down, chill out, and relax with some L.A. Confidential. This child of OG LA Affie and Afghani is an Indica dominant strain grown by gLeaf and purchased at Beyond/Hello, Sterling. These larger dank buds smell piney and earthy and just like its scent, the smoke tastes of resin and pine similar to a good IPA made with Simcoe hops. Having a similar terpene profile to Simcoe, L.A. Confidentials top terpenes are Pinene and Myrcene based on the lab test results printed on package. It helps me unwind after a long day by putting my mind and body at ease. You know when it starts to kick in when you feel that drop in your tense shoulders and you no longer feel like you need to do a million things at once. This kickass strain is good for meditation and to help get rid of the jitters. It is also perfect for those who wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep. Just smoke a quick bowl and it’s lights out in no time, especially for those who don’t smoke regularly. I have purchased L.A.

G-Spot, cultivated by gLeaf in Maryland, is another even hybrid (50% indica and 50% sativa). This strain is an orphan, with unknown parentage, although some experts say it was bred from different combinations of OG Kush varieties. It is the ideal high, stimulating and calming — she quite literally hits the “spot.” I’d recommend this strain for the morning time, for creatives, or for anyone with general anxiety. Almost immediately after smoking, your mind opens itself to new plans, possibilities, and ideas. You'll find that your thoughts and memories feel effervescent and tangible, without the couch lock sensation most fear with such a high myrcene content (1.36%). It will leave you engaged, focused, and mesmerized by the present. The THC level in this batch is high, coming in at 30%. The nugs are shaped like plump grapes, dark green with thin orange hairs and small, honey colored trichomes. The bud has a taste that's earthy and piney, which may avert some, but the fruity flavors that follow make this walk through the woods well worth it!

Deadband #7 is an Evermore phenotype bred from Headband and Skunk #1. It’s labeled as a hybrid with a potent THC level of 27.9%, but the actual indica/sativa ratio remains a mystery. I’d gather that it’s an even or near-even hybrid as the laid back high makes this strain suitable for any time of day. It sets in behind the eyes and allows you to relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and drift away without completely knocking you out. With a dominant terpene of myrcene (2.4%) this strain has a skunky flavor with pleasant notes of tart cherry on the exhale. The nugs are pale mint with a frothy coating of crystals, glazed over like a donut, making the hairs look even darker and thicker. Small and triangular, they’re shaped like a Christmas tree but sized like an ornament. This particular batch was sensitive to the touch, breaking up easily to the point where a grinder wasn’t necessary. If we look to its parents, Headband is known to create a slight pressure around the head, and the crowd-pleasing Skunk #1 serves as the Simon & Garfunkel of hybrids: around since the 70s and highly influential. They must have done something right, because there’s truly nothing not to like about their child, Deadband #7.
