Initial Thoughts They say when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Well, another possibility is to grab some of these lemon flavored Wonderland Gummies and drop a few cubes in your mouth. Great for those moments when you can't necessarily get to a smoke spot, these sweet citrusy edible gummies, currently available from DC marijuana dispensary Maven Wellness, definitely do the trick. 🍋 Appearance Do not… I repeat do not.. underestimate the size of these little yellow cubes. With 500MG of THC total, each cube is around 50MG a piece. Status Fresh. These edibles come sealed keeping the candies inside squishy. They are vegan if that is a requirement for you but more importantly they are made locally! Flavor Lemon. It’s pretty sour at first but then gives way to a weedy distillate flavor. Effects Do not… I repeat do not.. underestimate the size of these little yellow cubes. With 500MG of THC total, each cube is around 50MG a piece. I have a decent tolerance to edibles, however, I found these very effective after just three. The 50MG packed into such a tiny cube manages to be a sizable dose in itself, so after consuming 150MG I was struggling to keep my eyes open. As always with edibles, it is recommended to go slow and start low - it may be the difference between a functional high or ending up falling asleep in a desk chair like I did. Conclusion I always have some edibles on hand for when I'm running out of flower or in a pinch. I feel better knowing that, if I need to, I can rely on a candy to keep me medicated. One of these Lemon Wonderland gummies is enough to give me a boost for hours, or a few are enough to keep me dazed for what seems like days.

Initial Thoughts The first thing that I noticed about these Opals and Banonoze buds was the sticky residue they left all over my fingers. The terps come in at over 4% which makes this strain, cultivated by Curio Wellness, one of the most sought out options at Maryland recreational marijuana dispensary, Waave. After we burned a couple joints of it the spirit of Raffi must have overtaken us because we all spontaneously started singing, "I like to toke, toke, toke, Opals and Banonoze". 🍎🍌😂 Appearance These buds look super exotic and have a fluffy, spongy structure to them.

Flavor A sour and tart apple-like taste. Lineage The Opals and Banonoze strain is a phenotype of Apples and Bananas, which is a four-way cross of Platinum Cookies, Granddaddy Purple, Blue Power and Gelatti that runs balanced at 50/50 on the indica/sativa spectrum. Effects Opals and Banonoze immediately put me in a spacey headspace after just a few hits and I succumbed to its intensely stoney high. However, as the initial rush dissipated, I experienced a surprising shift towards enhanced focus, particularly while multitasking various activities. It offered a fascinating contrast of effects, from spaciness to heightened productivity, making it a truly intriguing experience. Versatile enough for nearly any time of day. Conclusion This reminds me of a proper Zkittles cut, since its appearance is so funky and its aroma is, similarly, fruit-forward. The high potency and terpene levels helped it exceeded my expectations in aroma, flavor, and effects and I can’t wait to go back for more in the near future. In the meantime we'll probably just keep on passing it around, burning it down, and singing silly songs about fruit.

Initial Thoughts With deep roots in cannabis culture, this batch of True OG from Cheeba DC is a superb example of the iconic strain - a strain with some controversy about its name. The story we hear from connoisseurs most frequently here at Toker's Guide is that the "OG" in OG Kush actually stands for "Ocean Grown". Others have argued that it's for "Original Ganster" - a reference to the LA hip-hop term - and "Over Grown" as a nod to overgrown . com which was a popular cannabis website that was shutdown long ago by Canadian authorities. To me the Ocean Grown story makes the most sense because, at the time, there was some stiff competition in California between those growing in the mountains and those growing near the Ocean. When the guys near the shore started growing exceptional indoor many sought out this weed specifically and it became known more widely as Ocean Grown or O.G. For example: "Where's that Ocean Grown weed everybody's talking about? Show me the OG!" Appearance Stocky and dense buds that are mostly green in color with some patches of purple mixed throughout. Status Fresh, but starting to cure. Aroma Mainly piney with a hint of lemon citrus. Flavor A rich, piney, and woodsy OG flavor with hints of earth, fuel, and lemon. Lineage The True OG strain is a cross of Chemdawg and Hindu Kush that runs indica dominant. Effects I was initially surprised by how much of a focused indica this True OG is. It kept it easy to stay engaged all while providing a floating body high. It was really good for my pain too, and seemed to allow me to forget all about it while going about my day. I wasn't put on the couch instantly either, like so many indica's would, but there was a sleepy crash towards the end of the high. Great for chill afternoons and evenings. Conclusion There’s nothing that compares to smoking on some good ol' OG, and as it seems be an increasingly rare option, it's nice to have a taste of that wickedly delicious flavor again. Wherever it got its name and whatever it stands for, this True OG is true to the OG experience in both flavor and effects.
