Initial Thoughts With heavy trichomes and a citrus tinged aroma this batch of Lemon Tree from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, VIPeace, is one to consider picking up for your weekend needs. The strain is known for balanced, yet slightly uplifting, effects and I'm happy to report that this one is definitely more on the uplifting end. My friend said it best when he remarked that it was like Sour Diesel (one of the parents in the lineage), but with the sativa aspects dialed down a bit. Appearance Bright green and purple, highly dense buds with red hairs and lots of trichomes. Status Curing. Aroma Earthy with a hint of lemon and orange citrus. Flavor Gassy with notes of citrus fruit and earth. Lineage The Lemon Tree strain is a cross of Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel that runs balanced at 50/50 on the indica/sativa spectrum. Effects This high comes on quickly and is very heady to start with a mesmerizing, spacey buzz that soon evolves into energetic feelings in the body. Once the initial fog lifts it makes you want to do things, thus a good daytime option, but finding the focus to stay organized or choose just one thing was difficult for me. In any case, a potent option and one that is both soothing and energizing. Conclusion Always a solid daytime toke, Lemon Tree has proven not to disappoint yet again and we'll be looking to roll it up and enjoy its uplifting vibes all weekend long. You can too by heading to VIPeace today and grabbing some for your own stash. Don't forget to tell them you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts I certainly love potato's and Runtz candy. However, I've never said, "Hey I wonder if they can make a potato candy to go with all the other fruit in Runtz." I've also never wondered about a potato-oriented strain of cannabis...ever. Nonetheless, in the case of this Potato Runtz from DC i-71 cannabis delivery service Cannabear we have yet another example of how things you wouldn't expect to be tasty or enjoyable together in the normal world, can be great in the cannabis world. 🥔🍬 Appearance Dark green and purple buds with a heavy amount of trichomes and burnt orange hairs. Status Cured and somewhat oxidized, but still with a great Runtz-like aroma and flavor. Aroma Despite the potato in the name, these buds have a great aroma and are starkly tart much like a mix of fruity Runtz should be. There are also hints of pine, nut, and exotic spices. Flavor Terpy and potently tart with notes of candied fruit and hints of chem and cream. Lineage The Potato Runtz strain is a cross of Potato Kush and Runtz that runs balanced at around 50/50 on the indica/sativa spectrum. Effects Heady and uplifting at first with a superb amount of euphoria. This feeling gradually moves to your whole body and a sense of calm sets in for the duration. Highly versatile and useful in both daytime and evening, this one isn't sedative and won't give you couch-lock, but will bring relaxing vibes and some disorientation. Conclusion For a great balanced high and a classically delicious Runtz experience check out these exotic Potato Runtz. They've got nothing to do with actual potatoes, but will get you delightfully fried without leaving you like a sack of them.🥔 You can be rolling some up today just by hitting up the always friendly and punctual Cannabear ASAP.

Initial Thoughts I haven't seen much Green Crack out there recently, but I especially haven't seen any that's the caliber of this batch, currently available from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, YANA Wellness Center. It's got big time sativa energy and it's ready to help keep your day chugging along. 🚂 Appearance Dense bright green buds with fiery orange hairs and a large amount of trichomes. Status Beginning to cure, but still has a fresh aroma. Aroma Sour, tart, and with hints of fruit and berries. Flavor The flavor is very much like the aroma with sour notes and hints of tart berries. Lineage The Green Crack strain is a cross of Skunk #1 and Afghani Landrace that runs sativa dominant. Effects This specimen provides a highly energetic and uplifting buzz that is just like what the Green Crack varietal is known for. Hard-charging to your dome as soon as you exhale, it's so cerebral at first that it can make you feel as though you're wearing a headband. I've found it useful for jogging and hiking in the past, given its ability to help me zone out and keep going. However, it may not be great for productivity where focus is required. Either way, it's best used during the daytime and makes coffee seem puny when deployed in wake and bake sessions. Conclusion For a heady high and all the energetic vibes a sativa-lover could ask for turn to this Green Crack and don't look back. Need a little pick-me-up to help you get psyched to go out after work? Load this one in your pipe and you'll be vibrant and social in no time.

Initial Thoughts Alt Sol's various batches of "flower rosin" are quite spectacular and the most recent one that has caught my fancy is this Petro Chem, currently available at DC medical marijuana dispensary, Takoma Wellness Center. Even its beautiful packaging doesn't do the quality of the contents justice and the flavor/effects combo makes me want to just keep loading and loading my concentrate vaporizer.

Initial Thoughts Dragon's Breath from the gLeaf medical marijuana dispensary in Short Pump, Virginia delivers on its namesake with effects that will have you flying sky high once you exhale this fire. 🐉 The pearlescent trichomes caught my eye, and the sativa dominant genes sold me. This has got to be my new favorite to enjoy before being up on my feet, or doing something hands-on, given how its energizing buzz will go the distance. Appearance Vibrant green buds with lots of sizable trichomes. Status Fresh, tested, packaged, and consumed in less than a month. Aroma Floral and skunky aroma with earthy notes. Flavor The taste reminded me of a wooden, smoky, whisky barrel with hints of skunk, nuts, and exotic floral arrangements. Lineage The Dragon's Breath strain is a cross of Jack Herer, Northern Lights, and Skunk that runs sativa dominant. Effects A full body high hits quickly and, before you know it, you’ll start building or doing something ridiculous that you normally wouldn’t think to do.

Initial Thoughts Look out Chris Rock, there's a new slap in town, but it's one that will make you feel great all over versus bruising your face or ego. From the moment I popped open the container, I knew this Slapz from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, HYFE, was going to be hard-hitting. 👊 Appearance Robust, hand-trimmed purple and light green buds with large orange pistils and heavy trichome coverage - many of which are still starry. Status Fresh and just beginning to cure. Aroma Piney, floral, and sweet with hints of bread and fuel. A seriously exotic and delectable aroma. Flavor Righteously funky and exotic with a sweet pine-like taste that has hints of sour fruit, bread, and fuel. Super smooth and gassy in the exhale. Lineage The Slapz strain is a cross of Runtz and Grease Monkey that runs slightly indica dominant at 60/40 on the indica/sativa spectrum. Effects A highly euphoric full-body buzz that includes a headiness that is among the best. It doesn't sedate, but can be disorienting at times due to the sheer potency. Versatile enough for a day hiking or laying by the pool, this is what I'm planning to roll up in my after lunch sessions each day this week. Conclusion The level and delightfulness of the high this Slapz brings cannot be overstated.

Initial Thoughts With a fun looking pack and a sweet aroma this batch of Donut Runtz from DC i-71 storefront dispensary, MASC, is ready to help you get your weekend of relaxation started. It's got frosty trichomes galore, which helped indicate it's potency to me right out of the pack, and I guess the only question left is: will you have enough donuts on hand to satisfy your munchies? 🍩🤤 Appearance Bright green with blaze orange pistils and a frosty layer of white trichomes. Status Beginning to cure. Aroma Sweet and gassy with hints of tart fruit. Flavor Super funky, yet sweet and with hints of fuel and berries. Lineage It's unclear what makes the "Donut" in Donut Runtz, but we're thinking it might just be a particular Runtz pheno that happened to elicit a uniquely sweet flavor profile. The Runtz strain, of course, is a select cross of Gelato and Zkittlez that runs balanced in terms of effects. Effects This batch, similar to the Runtz mentioned above, was quite balanced in effects. However, the initial uplifting rush at onset can lead some to believe it has some sativa traits in the mix. Either way we found it uplifting and full of euphoria, but also relaxing and with a body buzz that makes you feel like you're taking all the weight off your back. Potent and long in duration, it's excellent to roll up right before afternoon pool time - inflatable donut float optional, but encouraged. Conclusion This is an exotic batch of designer Runtz with a uniquely delectable flavor and effects that are balanced to slightly uplifting in nature. I'm not sure that it truly reminds me much of a donut, though, except for the sweetness on the palate and the fact that it could be the icing on top of a great weekend. To pick up a baker's dozen for yourself just head to MASC today and don’t forget to mention that you heard about them on Toker’s Guide!
