Initial Thoughts This was my first encounter with the Sweet Tart Sprinkles strain, currently available from DC i-71 cannabis delivery service, Flower Ave. Although not much is known about the lineage of it, the results speak for themselves. These buds are absolutely gorgeous in every single way and ready to be consumed by the most fortunate of connoisseurs. 🤩 Appearance It’s hard to say what colors these buds are because the insane amount of trichomes cover most of the surface area, but after further examination rich purples and greens poke their way through. Status Fresh, but just beginning to cure. Aroma Sweet Tart Sprinkles boasts a delightful blend of berry, sour, and candy-like scents. Flavor The flavor profile of Sweet Tart Sprinkles was quite a twist from the aroma. The burst of bubblegum and cotton candy flavors were not what I expected, at least initially. It was nostalgic and reminded me of being a child with a bag of mixed candy fresh from the candy store. Lineage After much research my results were inconclusive and I can't be sure of the genetic makeup of this strain, presently. In my experience, though, it has been fairly balanced and close to a 50/50 hybrid. Effects The effects of Sweet Tart Sprinkles took me on an exploratory journey. This strain has the ability to pique curiosity and spark a sense of wonder. This sent me down a rabbit hole learning how to do things from pickling banana peppers to pressing my own concentrates (If you would like to see more on that, drop a comment below). I felt that I was open to new experiences and ideas, I just didn’t have quite enough energy to act on them. Conclusion With its ability to spark curiosity and deliver an exploratory high, Sweet Tart Sprinkles, allows you to question the wonders of the world. Mankind was meant to explore and with this strain as your trusty sidekick you won't even have to take a submarine ride to get the thrills you're looking for. Hit up Flower Avenue today to grab some of this phenomenal Sweet Tart Sprinkles to try for yourself. When you do don’t forget to mention that Toker’s Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts This latest batch of Gold Digger by the Terp Lords and currently available at DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Flight Pass, is an example of how new iterations can surpass their predecessors in caliber and quality. In fact, to mirror gossip from the world of the wealthy, I'd say that Gold Digger 2.0 is definitely an upgrade. 🏆 Appearance Bright green buds with purple accents, bright orange hairs, and lots of trichomes (some still starry). Status Beginning to cure. Aroma Creamy and gassy with a hint of tart cherry and spice. Flavor Sweet, creamy, cheesy, and with gassy notes in the aftertaste. Lineage The Gold Digger strain is a three-way cross of Blue Dragon, Acapulco Gold, and C99 that runs indica dominant. Effects This one starts with a powerful head rush of euphoria and disorientation. Soon after a blissful feeling of calm spreads throughout - the body buzz is immense with this pheno, but there's not much in terms of sedative effects despite the indica lean. Probably best left for late afternoon or evening, it can leave you delightfully stoned, yet fully upright. Make sure you have beverages on hand as the cottonmouth is for real. Conclusion Overall, this Gold Digger represents an excellent example of DC's bustling exotic cannabis scene with high quality and potency along with exquisite flavor. It's even nice to see the evolution of the pack art over time. No need to grab your pick axe to uncover these golden nuggets of joy, instead just head to Flight Pass today and don’t forget to mention that Toker’s Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts: With all the stressful things going on in the world today it seems like people are getting less and less sleep. In the past few months I've had several friends tell me they're having trouble with insomnia and I can't think of another time in the past where this has happened with such frequency. For me, when I have trouble sleeping, vaping some indica usually gets the job done. For some people, however, indica may actually keep them sedentary, but too alert to sleep. This must be very frustrating and I feel for my sleep deprived amigos, so what other options exist? One potential solution is this "Sleep 1:1" THC/CBD tincture from DC MOTA and currently available at DC dispensary Cheeba (among other storefronts that carry DC MOTA products). Not only does it have 400mg of THC and 400mg of CBD, it also has 200mg of melatonin, the hormone that your brain releases in response to darkness, to help you get to sleep. I think with everyone looking at their smart phones before bed, and reading about all the horrors in the world, their natural melatonin production may be low. If that's the case then adding the naturally derived compound to your nighttime rituals, along with some THC and CBD, might do the trick. Therefore, I decided to conduct a test and see if this tincture could help me and my aforementioned sleepless friends get a good night's rest. Here's the resulting review: Appearance: A robust opaque, black bottle with a graduated dropper and nearly translucent, slightly golden oil. Flavor: A slight cannabis flavor in oil form, but no alcohol taste and no burning sensation. Lineage: Highly pure and concentrated distillate with THC and CBD from a variety of strains. Since it's distillate, there's not going to be an entourage effect from terpenes that might lean one way or another. Effects: A half dropper full of tincture under the tongue that equated to 0.5mL containing 10mg THC, 10mg CBD, and 5mg melatonin about an hour before bedtime was decided upon. From brief research the online consensus seemed to be that the maximum dose of melatonin for adults is about 10mg. In this case, the idea was that 5mg should be a good starting point given my lack of exposure to melatonin prior. The effects began somewhere around 30 to 40 minutes afterwards, but the most interesting thing was that the onset of any buzz was indescribable because sleep happened so quickly there was no memory of a "high". In the morning, I felt supremely well-rested and remarkably little soreness. Others had quite similar experiences with some remembering a gentle fuzzy feeling (the high coming on) before being "zonked out" or "out cold". Conclusion: I'm not a doctor so I'm limited in terms of being able to recommend something to help solve a medical problem. But, for me (and from the reports of others), there's now a new tool in my cabinet to help with those sleepless, overstimulated nights. To pick up some DC MOTA tincture for yourself and see if it represents an ideal solution for your needs, just head to Cheeba DC (or your closest DC MOTA carrying dispensary) today.

Initial Thoughts DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Mr. Nice Guys, recently sent us this sample of Blue StrSky (aka Blue Star) and we couldn’t be more stoked. At first glance, the buds immediately justify the "Blue" in the name and the deliciously fresh scent made me want to burn it down as soon as I cracked open the jar. Appearance Tinted in a blue hue and covered in trichomes these light green buds are a rare find! Status Curing. Aroma As I took in the aroma of Blue StrSky I mainly focused on the sweet and sharp fragrance of blueberries. Flavor The flavor profile of Blue StrSky revealed a blend of spicy herbal notes with a sweet berry essence. Lineage Blue Strsky, or Blue Star, is a cross of Blueberry and Sensi Star that runs indica dominant at 70/30. Effects A sense of relaxation washed over me, encouraging a state of laziness and calmness that made it perfect for winding down. However, unlike some heavy indicas, it didn't induce a couch-lock effect, allowing me to remain somewhat creative and engaged. Blue StrSky's ability to promote a chill environment is perfect for a night by the campfire under the stars. Conclusion After my experience with this strain I think it would make a very suitable introductory option for a new user. The psychoactive effects are present but not overpowering which is what affords such a chill vibe.

Initial Thoughts Take a look at this Cookie Dawg from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Peace in the Air. Once I set my eyes on it I was immediately drawn to its beauty - these buds are fluffy, clearly local grown, and have some seriously nice bag appeal! Appearance The Cookie Dawg buds are an even mix of purples and greens along with orange pistils and a generous coating of white, reflective trichomes. Status Fresh, but starting to cure. Aroma The scent is stinky, notes of chem combine with a subtle nutty fragrance. Flavor The initial inhalation revealed a distinctive combination of Pinesol and nutty undertones. Lineage The Cookie Dawg strain is a cross of Girl Scout Cookies and Chemdawg that runs 70/30 indica dominant. Effects The main event was a heavy and relaxing body high. Additionally, it sparked a noticeable increase in my appetite, creating a case of the munchies that was only suppressed by me not wanting to get up. Despite the powerful body high, I found that Cookie Dawg didn't weigh me down mentally, but left me free from distractions and able to embrace a carefree state of mind. Conclusion For me, Cookie Dawg delivered and proved itself to be a batch I’d get again.

Initial Thoughts Japanese for "number one", Ichiban is also a delectable and super rare cannabis strain that has made its way to DC cannabis dispensary, No Kids Allowed. Given the name I was expecting superb quality out of this batch and, once I laid my eyes on it, I was not disappointed. Appearance Spear-shaped, mostly purple buds that are covered in snowy white trichomes and sparse orange pistils. Aroma The aroma is earthy, piney, and sweet with hints of cheese and fruit. Flavor Earthy and piney in an exotic and super smooth kind of way. Lineage The Ichiban strain is a cross of Tokyo Snow and Plum Crazy Runtz that runs indica dominant. Effects This one's effects are more balanced than indica, but come with a delightfully strong euphoric body high that is long lasting. Great for lazy afternoons or evenings it can help you take a load off, quell many ailments, and leave you warm and fuzzy for a great night's sleep. Conclusion The team likes this one for its smoothness, exotic flavor, and calming effects.

Initial Thoughts Seems like a few months ago people were pretty obsessed with Lemon Cherry Gelato. Well, allow me to introduce a new Lemon Cherry iteration in this Lemon Cherry Gushers currently available at DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Top Level. It's a cross of, you guessed it, Lemon Cherry Gelato and Gushers that is sure to make your taste buds....gush. 😂🤦‍♂️ Appearance These nugs are slender, dense, and dark purple with bright green patches and reddish-orange pistils. Status Cured. Aroma Sweet and slightly fruity with gassy and piney notes. Flavor An amalgamation of pine, fuel, and sour fruit with hints of skunk and earth. Lineage The Lemon Cherry Gushers strain is a cross of Lemon Cherry Gelato and Gushers that runs indica dominant at 60/40. Effects This is a real stoney treat with an intense body high and lots of relaxing vibes. It seems more deeply indica than 60/40 because there are some sedative effects. I found my self enjoying lounging about and the munchies came on super strong. Definitely save this potent batch for evening use and you can enjoy the warm, euphoric glow as you drift off to sleep. Conclusion This is a great one to roll up for its highly exotic flavor and I really enjoyed burning it outside in the warm summer nights.

Initial Thoughts With a delicously creamy, funky, Gelato-esque aroma this Bubblelato from DC i-71 cannabis delivery service, Exotic Organics, is one batch that I'm stoked to roll up right now. The buds are still soft and supple and I'm betting that when I break it up there will be an even more intense aroma with some bubblegum notes. 🫧 Appearance Green and purple buds dusted with white trichomes and the occasional twinkle of some starry trich's to let you know it's still on the fresh side. Status Just beginning to cure. Aroma The aroma is the best part and the Gelato funk runs strong with this cut. It's creamy, sour, piney, sweet and fruity all at once. Flavor A very complex flavor profile with notes of heavy cream, chem, pine, and sour fruit. Super exotic and delectable in any format. Lineage The Bubblelato strain is a cross of Gelato #45 and Indiana Bubblegum (Afghani Landrace X Bubblegum) that runs slightly indica dominant at 60/40. Effects This bud is stupefying at first and I stood completely still, eyes closed, as the initial head rush and wave of euphoria washed over me. I felt both mesmerized and warm and fuzzy all at the same time. The world was somehow softer and more colorful and I was in my happy place for pretty much the whole afternoon afterwards. Its energy is calming, but there's no couch lock and I had no trouble making moves during the day or resting following an evening session. Conclusion Overall, I immensely enjoyed the long lasting high of this potent and exotic Bubblelato. As a Gelato enthusiast, it was more calming than some of the more balanced pheno's and crosses out there, but I enjoyed the relaxation and loved loved loved the awesome flavor.

Initial Thoughts The nose on this Super Boof from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Monko, is just awesome. It's super citrusy, slightly sour, and slightly tart all at once. When I stick my nose in the jar the first thought that comes to mind is a cherry strudel...and then my mouth starts watering because I love cherry strudels...and, of course, great weed. 🍒🤗 Appearance Bright green, rotund, and robust buds with huge orange pistils and both white and starry trichomes (more starriness on the inside when breaking them up). Status Fresh and funky. Aroma Like a sour cherry tart with citrusy, fruity, and sour notes along with hints of breadiness and tart berries. Flavor Citrusy, earthy, and with an aftertaste that has notes of bread and tart berries. Lineage The Super Boof strain is a cross of flavor and terp powerhouses Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies. It runs balanced at 50/50 on the indica/sativa ratio. Effects This one is highly versatile, as you might have guessed, given its balanced profile. However, I would say that it is only balanced because it has traits that offset each other from the extremes of the sativa and indica spectrum. For instance, it has a heady and focus-filled high, but it also has a warm and fuzzy body buzz. There's also the squinting, stoning nature that feels more like indica, but doing tasks and being active still feels good. Conclusion Overall, this one is tremendously potent and we're curious to see what it tops out at in terms of THC percentage. I tend to think it runs in the high twenties or low thirties. To investigate this awesome batch of Super Boof for yourself just head to Monko ASAP and don't forget to tell them you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts Silver Kush is a varitable who's who of legendary cannabis strains with Haze, Northern Lights, Skunk, Chemdawg, and Hindu Kush all in the lineage. From the aroma alone, I could sense the Haze and NL, with a far out anise-like nose to it. Cultivated by Center City here in DC and available at top medical marijuana dispensary, Takoma Wellness Center, I was ready to roll this one up the second I took it out of the pack. Appearance These darker green and spear-shaped buds are coated with starry and white trichomes and have reddish-brown pistils. Status Fresh, but beginning to cure. Aroma Anise-like with hints of pine, lemon, and fuel. Flavor The hazy anise flavor comes out big on this one and there are also notes of pine and lemon in the aftertaste. Lineage The Silver Kush strain is a cross of Silver Bubble (Haze X Northern Lights X Skunk) and OG #18 that runs sativa dominant at 70/30 on the sativa/indica ratio. Effects This phenomenal sativa-oriented, hazy, high is a throw back to my younger years of toking where I was frequently burning on Haze and Northern Lights, sometimes as a mixture in the same bowl. There's a heady rush at onset, with lots of energy and euphoric tingles from core to extremities. Great as a focus-driving motivator across the daytime, it can also quell almost any stomach or joint issues I might be experiencing. Conclusion Running at 27.3% THC and impeccably grown to elicit the finest, most on-point of aromas, this Silver Kush is one that I'm psyched to puff before work, workouts, and sporting events. It makes me feel awesomely energetic, clear-headed, and sociable without any edginess. If you're looking for a great sativa option head to Takoma Wellness Center ASAP and catch a slice for your own stash. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts Hello pick-me-up! If you're a sativa-lover like me and you dig edibles then you'll want to checkout these sativa leaning live resin infused mango gummies from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Mother Blossom. Their delectably juicy mango flavor has zero weed or chemicals in the taste and they really put the "GO" in mango, if you know what I'm saying. 😂🤦‍♂️ Appearance Orange rectangular cubes with sour crystal sprinkles on the outside. Status Fresh and squishy. They were sealed in a professional-grade pouch. Aroma Sweet and fruity in a tropical way like fresh mangos just chopped open before you. Flavor Juicy and full of fruity, sweet, and creamy mango flavor. Ingredients The ingredient list says "Broad Spectrum Delta-9-THC Distillate", but this is a typo and they are, in fact, made with a blend of live resin sourced from various sativa flower. We checked on this in our last review of their Blueberry Indica option and have re-confirmed with them in this case. Effects Each gummy is 50mg and, as a sativa-leaner, breaking it up into 4 equal parts to take across several morning hours made the most sense from my past experiences. Better than a cup of coffee these had me going strong for the whole first half of my day. The buzz is heady and energizing with a warm body glow and focused, driven headspace. During my routine jog I even felt like I was in the midst of a tropical forest and seemed to run a bit faster and easier than usual - confirmed by my pace and time at the end. Note I also had zero munchies and only a tinge of edginess (not unexpected with sativa-oriented edibles). Conclusion For an uplifting and energetic high that is both pervasive and smokeless it's hard to beat sativa-leaning live resin infused edibles. They're super popular in many west coast circles presently, and I'm not surprised that they are growing in popularity now on the east coast as well. To grab some of these juicy, tropical, and vivacious Mango Gummies for yourself just head to the always friendly and uber luxurious Mother Blossom today. Don't forget to mention you heard about them on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts I’m always hunting for the best, most delectable terpene profiles across the Virginia medical marijuana market. Recently, this has led me to some phenomenal concentrates and with them I've found unparalleled flavor. Take this epic gram of gLeaf curated Zkittles Kush live rosin for example. It's currently available at my local Norfolk Cannabist and, with its eruption of tropical fruity aroma that smacked me right in the face, I just had to let you all know about it! 🤗 Appearance This Zkittles Kush presents as if it's a valley of golden hills shimmering at sunrise. From the gold-colored box to the heavy duty childproof glass to the caramel colored rosin, this specimen screamed high quality and high potency to me from its appearance alone. Structure Zkittles Kush Live Rosin offers a cookie dough texture that makes you drool as you scoop your first dose. It’s malleable and creamy; however, make sure to keep it in your fridge. With temperatures on the rise, the heat can cause some melting and we don’t want that. For the best results, take it out of your fridge at least 30 minutes prior to smoking to allow any condensation to evaporate. Status Fresh and funky! Aroma Zkittlez Kush Live Rosin has a pungent terpene profile filled with rich notes of citrus and hints of pepper, lavender, and earth. Flavor Initially, this rosin gives off a very familiar candy flavor followed by hints of woodiness and spice that create a magical combination of flavors on the palette! Lineage Zkittlez Kush is a cross of the beloved Zkittles (Grape Ape X Grapefruit) with an unknown Kush variant. It sits at around 70/30 indica dominant. Effects This rosin had me clutching my chest after only one dab! The euphoria and relaxation was immediate after the coughing settled, and my pre-existing nausea was gone. My back pain was almost nonexistent as well and my anxiety felt like it was smacked with “The Shusher” carried by Captain Smek 👾 in the movie Home! Needless to say, it quieted down for about an hour before needing to be shushed again with another dose. 🤣 This Zkittles Kush rosin also had me cheesing super hard! The euphoria I experienced made everything so much funnier, and in turn, made me happier. Conclusion gLeaf’s Zkittlez Kush Live Rosin is beyond extraordinary on every level, delivering potent terpenes and cannabinoids straight to the dome! A popular slogan from the 50's went like, “A Little Dab’ll Do Ya”, and that couldn’t be more true when it comes to near perfect live rosins like this Zkittles Kush! So, if you’re looking to get absolutely elevated, swing on by Cannabist here in Norfolk to pick yourself up a batch of this gLeaf curated Zkittles Kush Live Rosin, and don’t forget to mention you heard about it here on Toker’s Guide!
