Initial Thoughts Black Cherry Gelato, courtesy of DC i-71 marijuana delivery service, Cannabear, has an aroma that immediately conjured images of freshly picked bushels of black cherries in my mind. It's a strain that feels like the perfect end-of-summer treat, evoking the delicious anticipation of biting into a juicy ripe cherry. 🍒 Appearance These buds are a deep black purple (or black cherry if you will) mixed with a gooey green. Trichomes range from amber to white and the pistils are orange. Status Curing, but still with a fresh aroma. Aroma Sweet and sharp blends of berries, earthiness, and a slight skunkiness. Flavor Satisfyingly sour and tart on the inhale. As the smoke rests in your mouth notes of cherry and berry merge to create a fruit medley. Lineage The Black Cherry Gelato strain is a cross of Black Cherry Funk and Açaí that runs indica dominant at 60/40. Effects As I savored the effects of this strain I experienced a calm, easygoing, and chilled-out sensation. A gentle tingle began to permeate throughout my body, creating a sense of relaxation that gradually expanded. This calming embrace was accompanied by a slight haziness in the head. Despite this lack of cerebral clarity a subtle mental stimulation allowed me to remain present and engaged in the moment, but I made sure to steer clear of physical activities. Unlike strains that instantly knock me out, Black Cherry Gelato slowly guided me into a good night's rest. Conclusion This batch of Black Cherry Gelato truly delivered on its initial promise offering a flavor profile that remained consistently delightful throughout each session. Personally, I think it's the perfect treat to bring to your end of summer barbecues. To add some to your stash just hit up Cannabear to schedule your delivery today.

Initial Thoughts With an outstanding OG nose that's reminiscent of a pine forest this $100 OG is rumored to have gotten its name from the price that an 8th first cost when it started showing up in Hollywood, CA dispensaries a few years ago. It's a delectably potent and aromatic strain that's been on our radar for a while, and it's currently available from DC i-71 marijuana delivery service, Capital Remedy - but only for a limited time. ⌛ Appearance Rotund dark green buds with lots of frosty white trichomes and brown pistils. Status Fresh, but beginning to cure. Aroma Piney, gassy, and sour with notes of earth and fuel. Flavor Gassy and piney with hints of sour fruit and earth. Lineage The $100 OG strain is a phenotype of OG Kush that runs balanced at 50/50. Effects I really enjoyed the combination of uplifted vibes with an intoxicating and slightly psychedelic cerebral high. The euphoric body buzz was also palpable and much like I recall from past experiences with OG Kush varietals. However, the energetic nature of this pheno was definitely a contrast from the indica-heavy OG cuts I've had recently. Probably best for daytime or early evening use, but not when you have important things to focus on. Conclusion Overall, this top-shelf OG cut has potent, balanced effects and a great piney, gassy flavor. It also burns super smooth when rolled up and creates some tremendous head-rushes when hit in the bong. To grab some for yourself just hit up Capital Remedy ASAP and don't forget to let them know you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Currently available at DC marijuana dispensary, Takoma Wellness Center , this batch has a phenomenal fruit forward aroma that's sour and tart along with the ever-present fumes of fuel in the background. 🚚 Appearance Fluffy bright geen buds with fiery orange pistils and lots of frosty trichomes. Status Fresh. Aroma Sour and tart fruity notes with hints of diesel-like fuel. Flavor Tart and sour in a fruity, delicious way with an exhale that is gassy and spicy. Lineage The Cherry Diesel strain is a cross of Cherry OG and Turbo Diesel that run balanced at 50/50 on the indica/sativa spectrum. Effects There's a bold driving force behind the buzz of this batch and it strikes the head most forcefully at onset. There's also an accompanying rush of euphoria that fills the limbs and back as well.

This is truly a best of both worlds hybrid containing cerebral and energetic vibes paired with a soothing body high. Probably best reserved for daytime use, though, due to the energy levels.

Initial Thoughts Check out this frosty batch of Super Lemon currently available at DC i-71 marijuana dispensary, The Green Room. It's seriously trich'd out and has a delightfully delicious, zesty aroma. The first thing I thought of after taking a look and giving a whiff was a human-sized cape-wearing lemon with an "S" on its chest. 🍋 Appearance Light green buds with tons of white trichomes, flecks of purple, and brown pistils. Status Fresh, but beginning to cure. Soft and sticky in texture with a fresh aroma. Aroma A robust and mouthwatering scent of sour citrus, tart fruit, pine, gas, and skunk all wrapped up together. The aroma becomes almost candy-like when breaking it up. Flavor Much like the aroma the flavor is a delicious amalgamation of tart fruit, lemon, pine, and gas with hints of skunk. Lineage We believe this is the Super Lemon Cherry Gelato strain, which would put Sunset Sherbert and Thin Mint GSC in the lineage. We're not sure what other strains influence this pheno, but perhaps there's some Runtz involved as well. Effects I found the effects of this batch to be mostly balanced with a slight skew to the calming, indica side. It's not sedative by any means, but after the initial heady and uplifting high at onset comes a cozy and tingly body high that seems to settle every nerve in my body. Versatile and especially good in the afternoon or early evening. Conclusion Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this Super Lemon sample and rolling it up in joints led to not only some fantastically funky flavor, but also some joyously stoney sessions.

But then, like a skilled conductor, it dialed back the intensity to a balanced hybrid buzz that reverberated throughout my body. Conclusion Overall, this batch of Cap Junky was good for daytime, but its potency and intoxicating headspace must be respected.

Initial Thoughts Bacio Gelato is a strain that I'm usually on the look out for and will pick up when it's on point. With this Piff live resin vape option currently available at DC i-71 marijuana dispensary, Cheeba, I can have immediate confidence in the quality. That's because not only is it sealed in tamper proof packaging, but it's also got the CannaSafe Approved label on it showing it passed for no pesticides and no heavy metals. Of course, it's also from Cheeba, and we enjoy their attention to detail. 🔍 Appearance A sleek white rectangular stick that seems durable in design and has a small window on the side to view the contents. Flavor If you're familiar with live resin, you'll know that it takes on a more true-to-plant flavor than other forms of concentrate - especially distillate. In this case the flavor is spot on for the strain and has a burst of slightly sweet (but not too sweet) creaminess with a tart aftertaste. It definitely brings to mind a delicious dessert. Lineage The Bacio Gelato strain is a cross of Sunset Sherbert and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies that runs balanced at 50/50 on the indica/sativa spectrum. Effects Euphoric in the body with a pleasantly uplifting head high is how I would describe it - just like some excellent Bacio Gelato flower would provide.

Initial Thought DC i-71 marijuana dispensary, Elevated Lounge, have brought their "A" game with this batch of Scottie Pippen. Living up to the caliber implied by the famed baller of the same name, these buds have a lot of flare and style of their own. From the mystical look of the bud and potent aroma brewing inside, I was excited for this strain from the jump. 🏀 Appearance Beautiful fluffy buds with dark forest greens blending into purple and crowned with stocky orange pistils. When broken apart, glistening trichomes decorate like morning dew on blades of grass. Status Curing, but still with a fresh aroma. Aroma Gassy, creamy, tart and earthy with floral hints much like lavender. When you break it up or crush a bud between your fingers a super tart, fruity, and gassy aroma is released. Flavor A delicious combination of tart fruit, cream, and gas. Lineage The Scottie Pippen strain is a cross of Biscotti and Lemon Cherry Gelato that runs indica dominant. Effects Scottie Pippen dunks in your face right on the exhale with a heavy head high and a melting feeling of relaxation that runs down the body. A steady, stoned-to-the-bone buzz with the endurance of a Chicago Bulls run in the 90’s, this batch really feels like an experience of its own and puts life in slo-mo with comfort and contentment. This one’s a champ. Conclusion Elevated Lounge has executed well lately and this top-tier batch of the Scottie Pippen strain further exemplifies said notion.

Initial Thoughts You may have seen our recent review on the Trainwreck and GDP "Flips" two-in-one disposable vape carts from DC MOTA. Well, let me present another version that's skewed more to the sativa side of the spectrum. Perfect for dialing up and switching-around your daytime high check out this Sour Diesel and Blue Dream version. With these two powerhouse strains on board, both leaning sativa-dominant, motivation and an uplifted vibe come with every puff. You may be wondering: "How can there be two options in one disposable? That's just silly." See the fancy little switch on the side? It allows you to float seamlessly between Sour Diesel (mostly sativa) and Blue Dream (a sativa-leaning hybrid) with the flick of your thumb. 👍 Appearance A black disposable vape delivery system that is rather long, but very thin and nearly indestructible. Note that the features listed on the packaging are: ceramic coil, dual cartridges, dual airflow design, clog proof technology, disposable, and rechargeable. Flavor Side one has the unmistakable sour and gassy notes of Sour Diesel while side two has a fruity, hazy taste much like a fresh batch of Blue Dream. Lineage High quality, hand crafted, medical grade THC distillate with cannabis derived terpenes of Sour Diesel and Blue Dream. The Sour Diesel strain is a mostly sativa varietal that resulted from a cross of Chemdawg and Super Skunk. The Blue Dream strain is a cross of Blueberry and Haze that is slightly sativa dominant. Effects The Sour Diesel side of this dual cart system provides highly uplifting and euphoric effects with a driving energy that will keep you pumped and ready to rock out at nearly anytime needed. It can have a good amount of edginess, just like many strong sativa's, but the feel good and mood enhancement aspects made it disappear quickly for me. The Blue Dream side, on the other hand, is more spacey, heady, and ever so slightly calming in nature. It also brings more of a body high making it an option for daytime activities where mega energy levels may not be well-suited. It is uplifting in some ways, though, so probably not great for nighttime. Conclusion I love being able to switch back and forth between two awesome, uplifting strains with these DC MOTA "Flips". When I need to ramp up, I switch to the Diesel. When I need to level out, but not feel drowsy, I switch to the Blue Dream. Having two great options in one package is a real bonus! You can pick one up for yourself by heading to Mr Nice Guys today - don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts If you've been reading Toker's Guide for very long then you'll know just how much I appreciate a well-crafted Haze varietal. In this Chem Haze from DC marijuana dispensary, The Treehouse, you can find just such a treasure. With it's magnificently tart and anise-infused aroma, this is a splendid batch indeed! 🤩 Appearance These bright green and starry trichome covered buds are large and frosty. Status Sticky and somewhat fresh, but starting to cure. Aroma Anise and tart fruit notes meet a strong pine cleaner scent. Flavor The piney-ness and anise notes come through with gusto and there are hints of lemon and fuel as well. Lineage The Chem Haze cultivar is a cross of Chemdawg and Haze that runs sativa dominant at 70/30. Effects The onset was heady with the frontal lobe as the epicenter. Things were a bit spacey and my eyes were glazed at first, but soon the uplifting buzz developed into an energetic and focused high. I found myself feeling gleeful about even the mundane tasks on my to-do list, yet when I wanted to chill out for a bit relaxation wasn't a problem either. Best for daytime given the energy and drive it affords, but could be useful in the early evening as well. Conclusion If you're looking to replenish the sativa side of your stash box, or if you're just psyched for a solid Haze-oriented option, check out this Chem Haze and enjoy the uplifting heady high. To pick up some for yourself just head to The Treehouse ASAP and don't forget to tell them you heard about it on Toker's Guide! *Also available for delivery from Buddha Buddy DC.
