Initial Thoughts With avalanches of trichomes I was immediately impressed with this batch of Dulce De Coco from DC i-71 marijuana delivery service, Trending Leafs. This is some serious exotic designer funk and the pack art is pretty on point too. 🥥 Appearance Mostly deep purple with flecks of rich green, these buds possess mega heavy layers of frosty white trichomes. Status Curing, but the aroma and many of the trichomes are still fresh and there's little sign of oxidation. Aroma Creamy and gassy with hints of sweet tropical fruit. On some whiffs there's a strong resemblance to fresh coconut. Flavor Silky smooth and creamy with hints of pine, tart berries, and something like butterscotch. Totally delicious.

Effects Hard-hitting, heady, and cerebral this one is stoning, but somehow keeps you motivated, giddy, and social. There's also a strong psychedelic aspect to the high which is a testament to just how potent this batch is - likely running north of 30% THC.

Initial Thoughts: In the past it has been stressful, especially while traveling, to try and keep up with all of my cartridge options. I always tote a few awesome ones with me and I need a good spread from sativa to indica with some balanced strains as well. Serious cart carriers will tell you that having several carts in your pocket at once can lead to all kinds of mix ups, especially when keys and phones are involved. So, what's a toker to do? Allow me to introduce this DC MOTA "Flips" two in one switchable vape pen currently available at DC i-71 marijuana dispensary, No Kids Allowed. It helps cut down on all the pocket clutter by giving you Trainwreck and Grand Daddy Purple (GDP) in one disposable device. How is this possible? Check out that fancy little switch on the side. It allows you to float seamlessly between sativa (Trainwreck) and indica (GDP) options 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 lemon and anise taste of Trainwreck while side two has a sweet (but not too sweet) taste of fruity grape, much like a solid batch of GDP. Lineage: High quality, hand crafted, medical grade THC distillate with cannabis derived terpenes of Trainwreck and GDP. The Trainwreck strain is a mostly sativa varietal that resulted from a cross of Thai and Mexican landrace sativas with an Afghani indica. The Grand Daddy Purple strain is a cross of Big Bud and Purple Urkle that runs indica dominant. Effects: The Trainwreck side of this dual cart system provides highly uplifting and cerebral effects with energy that will keep you going during your daytime pursuits. It does have a touch of edginess as many strong sativa's do, but this can be harnessed to keep mood positive and motivation high. The GDP side, on the other hand, is immediately mellowing and brings a full body euphoria making it perfect for late afternoon and evening use. It can also quell some of the edginess from the Trainwreck should you overindulge. Conclusion: The switchable aspect of this DC MOTA "Flips" device is a real game changer both in terms of keeping organized and having the convenience of two polar opposite strains on one contraption. As a sativa lover and Trainwreck fan, I was impressed that the effects and flavor were so spot on for this cultivar. Of course, the deliciousness of the GDP, along with the notable euphoric calm it brings, made me psyched to hit it on the couch right after dinner. Overall, this is two great options in one package and I'm psyched to tote it around with me on all my upcoming travels. You can pick one up for yourself by heading to No Kids Allowed today - don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts We recently reviewed the previous batch of Zoap Cream Pie from DC i-71 marijuana dispensary, Peace In the Air, but thought this batch was superior and wanted you all to know about it.

Note that it's also balanced in effects making it the perfect versatile hybrid for your weekend. 🥧 Appearance Fluffy green buds with vibrant strips of bright green and burnt orange pistils.

Lineage The Zoap Cream Pie strain is a cross of Rainbow Sherbert and Pink Guava that runs balanced at 50/50. Effects Right out of the gate a wonderful head buzz fills you with positivity and carefree feelings that elevate your spirits.

Initial Thoughts The piney, minty, gassy nose on this batch of Scotty 2 Hotty from DC i-71 marijuana dispensary, Mr. Nice Guys, makes your mouth start watering the second you stick your nose in the pack. It reminds me of the batches of lime green buds that used to come around the area in the summertime. The ones many felt represented the "smell of summer" in a way and carried you all the way into fall. Most of the time these were batches of OG Kush and with the Biscotti presence in this Scotty the aromatic similarities make sense to me (Biscotti has OG influence). 👃 Appearance Bright green spear-shaped buds with lots of white trichomes and burnt orange pistils. Status Fresh, but starting to cure. Aroma A pungent and delicious mix of pine, mint, and fuel with hints of coffee and cocoa. Flavor Piney, minty, and with a savory aftertaste that's both skunk and fuel. A delectable and smooth toke. Lineage The Scotty 2 Hotty strain is a cross of Biscotti and Rainbow Chip that runs indica dominant at 70/30 on the indica/sativa spectrum. Effects These effects are one part heady and two parts relaxing body high. It is quite sedating, but the headiness prevents couch lock to a degree, especially in the afternoon. Perfect for taking a load off pool side, this one makes the sun feel just that much better. Probably best for late afternoon and evening, it also helped me get some cozy Z's later that night. Definitely an indica-lover's delight. Conclusion For a potent, delectable, and great burning indica option, check out this Scotty 2 Hotty and get some real R & R before the summer's over. If you hurry you can still grab some down at Mr. Nice Guys, or pick up one of their other top-shelf options. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts These gorgeously plump Black Afghan buds, cultivated by Rythm in Maryland, are highly sought after at the moment. I finally got my hands on some from the RISE dispensary in Bethesda, but I believe the only batch left currently is at the Nirvana Center in Baltimore. You can also check the Rythm locator or wait for the next harvest to come around. Either way, indica-lovers shouldn't slip on picking up this one for their stash box. 🤩 Appearance These robust and dense buds are sizable and have gorgeous blue hues along with light greens and tons of trichomes - many of which are still starry. Status Fresh, but starting to cure. Aroma Minty and floral with exotic kush-like notes and hints of tart fruit. Flavor Exotically floral with minty notes and hints of berries in the exhale. Lineage The Black Afghan strain is a cross of Black Domina and Afghani #1 landrace that runs heavily indica. Effects The high hits hard and fast with tremendous cerebral effects, at first. Soon, however, a sedating euphoria takes over that can make any level of consumer sit back and take note. This is a powerful indica-dominant varietal that will inundate with waves of calm which become palpable across the body in a warm glow. Great for an evening toke or for those times when you have nothing else to do except explore uncharted pathways in your mind. Conclusion Maryland's recreational market is showcasing some phenomenal strains right now - one's that used to be available only for medical users in the state. This Black Afghan is a prime example of the quality that exists there currently and a wonderfully exotic, indica-heavy specimen to consider for your next batch.

Initial Thoughts We’ve been all over the Molecular Farms genetics that have recently been available at DC medical dispensary, Takoma Wellness. Just like the MAC buds we recently reviewed, these Pixie Crush buds are frosty and delicious. These small batch runs from Abatin are quickly becoming some of my new favorites! Appearance Amber and white trichomes fill each crevice of these Pixe Crush buds. Patches of orange pistils shoot out from the lush green core. Status Fresh and sticky.

Overall, a great daytime option with lots of mood enhancing, uplifting vibes and strong euphoria. Conclusion It’s no doubt that Abatin is putting some serious pressure on the competition. Maybe it has something to do with their harvests being grown in full sunlight and getting all natural, nutrient rich soil?

Regardless, I’m excited to see what Abatin will come up with next, but for now this Pixie Crush is where it's at for me.
