For all my older heads out there, if you're not familiar with Dab Day don't worry, it's fairly new. Why is July 10th known as Dab Day, you might ask? It's quite simple really. If you turn 710 around and upside down it spells "OIL" and those cannabis enthusiasts out there who love their concentrates have therefore claimed it as their day to partake in the use of all types of cannabis oils and extracts. So, to help everyone celebrate the day in an optimal fashion, we've reviewed some of our favorite concentrates available in Washington DC right now, below... Fish Scale Diamond Sauce - MASC We are big fans of things that are deliciously terp laden here at Toker's Guide and when presented with specimens like this mega terpalicious Fish Scale diamond sauce from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, MASC, our collective taste buds start salivating almost uncontrollably. In aroma this one is staggeringly potent and shoots straight up your nostrils to your brain, almost getting you high just from the olfactory rush. When ripped down in the "Mighty" from Storz & Bickel at a setting of 367 degrees Fahrenheit, however, this aroma turns into an even more delectable flavor that will keep you wanting more and more. With notes of pine, lemon, and fuel it's almost more like sampling options at a soda machine than concentrate. In terms of effects, this one runs mostly balanced, but did have uplifting effects for me. The Sour Diesel is the sativa influence in the lineage and this was sort of obvious in my opinion. Overall, we loved the flavor and effects combo and felt that it represents a great daytime option. Head to MASC today to grab some for yourself and you can be dabbing it in your own rig in no time! Grape Maximus Hash Rosin - Elevated Lounge Like a gladiator of ancient Rome this Grape Maximus Hash Rosin from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Elevated Lounge, has legendary power and can outright slaughter any ailments with the best of them, all while providing an astoundingly delicious grape flavor. As a hybrid it's got the energy levels and head rush to keep you going strong, but also the feel good indica euphoria that will keep you calm and smiling from ear to ear. Overall, we couldn't get over how flavorful and grapey this specimen turned out to be and the quality is absolutely impeccable as evidenced by the light tan color and soft waxy consistency. No need to enter any coliseum to experience this one for yourself, instead, simply take your chariot down to Elevated Lounge today and they'll fill your coffers on the spot. Dosicut Badder - The Gift Givers To really take a load off and navigate to another headspace consider the astounding indica-heavy potency of this Dosicut from DC i-71 cannabis delivery service, The Gift Givers. As a Do-Si-Dos pheno its indica dominance is no joke and can create tingles of euphoria throughout your whole body upon first exhale. In flavor, this one is gassy and buttery with notes of pine and fresh cut floral arrangements. There's also hints of something fuel-like and slightly skunky, which makes sense given the aromatic profile of the flower. Overall, the potency and terpy deliciousness of this one made us lay back and take note of how remarkable it is - and it's not even the most expensive one on their menu. To get some of this Dosicut for your rig today just place your order with The Gift Givers ASAP. Papaya Mintz Live Resin - The Treehouse/Buddha Buddy DC With notes that seem like actual fresh papaya in your face this Papaya Mintz live resin sample from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, The Treehouse, is absolutely delectable. It also comes with an intense body buzz that's full of euphoria and lots of calming vibes. Great for loading up in the portable vape and sneaking to the pool (pina colada optional), I found it to be just the right level of relaxation I needed on an otherwise hectic Monday. Make sure you don't have anything productive left to do, however, as there are some disorienting and sedative effects - ones that can lead to couch-lock if you're not careful. To grab some super delicious Papaya Mintz and have a mini tropical vacation during your next dab session just head to The Treehouse (or order delivery from Buddha Buddy DC) today! GSC Live Resin - The Garden An old school strain say some at this point, but I say GSC has always had a uniquely awesome high that is thoroughly enjoyable and quite versatile. In live resin form, these special traits are even more pronounced and the sumptuous body high becomes totally palpable. As always with great GSC, the aroma has that sort of sugary breadiness combined with notes of fuel and chem. This profile is very pungent and intense in this format and we're super psyched that DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, The Garden, graced us with this phenomenal classic. Great for nearly any time of day, but best in the late afternoons, this is another one that melds perfectly with carefree summertime activities. Head to The Garden today to pick up a jar of this golden goodness for your own stash. We hope everyone has a HAPPY 710!!!

Initial Thoughts I was very much looking forward to giving this Moonbow, currently available from DC i-71 cannabis delivery service, The Gift Givers, a try because the genetics and the name were very intriguing to me. I don't think I've ever even seen a moonbow in real life (until now I suppose) and I'm still not sure if they're possible in nature. While contemplating this the mega potent smell snuck its way into my nose and I could wait no longer - I had to roll it up right away. Appearance Like a sheep's coat towards the end of winter, these bright green Moonbow buds insulate themselves with dense layers of trichomes. Small, orange hairs peek out to the surface providing an appetizing look that almost resembles fresh fruit. Status Fresh. Aroma Moonbow jumps out of the pack with a sweet aroma, hints of berry, and citrus notes. Flavor Smooth with a mix of exotic herbs, fruity notes, and a hint of something like pear. Lineage The Moonbow strain is a cross of Zkittlez and Do-Si-Do's that runs balanced at 50/50 on the indica/sativa ratio. Effects Moonbow took me on a mellow ride beginning with a relaxing feeling that set into the mind and sunk its way first into my chest and then the rest of my body. Life slowed down with a sense of tranquility and a calm appreciation for the present. Whether hanging out with good company, listening to music, or enjoying some outdoor scenery, Moonbow will bring the giddy buzz to butter up any activity while unwinding the mind. Conclusion Moonbow delivers with an idyllic mix of uplifting sativa traits and calming indica vibes. I was blown away by how smooth the taste was, and the sweet smell is absolutely delicious. This is the perfect strain for taking a load off after a long day and I'm looking forward to enjoying it each evening this weekend. The only question that still remains for me is: What do you find at the end of a Moonbow? One possible answer: A really happy stoner. Hit up The Gift Givers ASAP to get your own taste of this Moonbow and don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts This Dulce De Leche, currently available at DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Elevated Lounge, blew me away from the second I popped the lid. It's super fresh, super dank, and has an aroma that's remarkably like the sweet milk candy it's named for. 🥛🍬 Appearance These extra long Dulce De Leche buds are loaded with starry trichomes and covered in orange and white pistils. A nice light green is the primary color and the short untrimmed fan leaves are darker green. Status FRESH. Aroma There was a distinct sweetness in the scent, reminiscent of a creamy dessert. The blend of citrus, cream, and floral notes also played a role in the sweet smell. Flavor The smoothness of each inhale revealed warm caramel tones. Additionally, there was a slightly spicy nut-like flavor as well. Lineage The Dulce De Leche strain is a cross between Caramel Cream and Maple Leaf that runs slightly indica dominant at 60:40. Effects The initial wave of relaxation washed over me just as I took my last toke, providing me a complete sense of calmness. Despite the deeply relaxing nature of this strain, it also had a surprising ability to enhance focus and stimulate conversation. It didn’t give me the munchies too bad, which I found surprising given the name and my love for desserts. But, maybe the sweetness of its delicious flavor satisfied my sweet tooth enough. Conclusion With this Dulce De Leche in my pipe, I was on cloud nine all afternoon and much of the evening. It's energetic enough for daytime use, but instills a wonderful sense of euphoric calm that's great at night too. I truly like everything about this flower and I can't wait to head down to Elevated Lounge to grab some more before it's gone!

Initial Thoughts So Jawi (@jawigrown2) has totally outdone himself this time with this batch of Gelato Grape Pie. It's his best batch yet in my opinion and the gorgeous appearance combined with the phenomenal, exotic aroma will inform even the finest cannabis critic that this is a job well done. Appearance The Gelato Grape Pie is almost entirely purple with flecks of bright green and a super frosty layer of starry and white trichomes. Status Fresh and just beginning to cure. Aroma The Gelato Grape Pie is a fresh, creamy, and tangy gelato scent with some exotic berry notes much like a grape. What's different about this batch is the "Pie" aspect that brings in hints of shortbread cookies. Amazing! Flavor The aforementioned shortbread aspect combines with some creaminess and what's almost like a Chemdawg gassiness to make anyone's taste buds go crazy. Lineage The Gelato Grape Pie strain is a cross of Gelato and Grape Pie that runs indica dominant at 70/30. Effects The Gelato Grape Pie is a highly euphoric and relaxed indica-oriented experience. This batch seems to have a little extra headiness to it as my thoughts were psychedelic in nature and I caught myself spacing out more than a few times. It was also potent and long lasting, but I didn't catch any couch lock during or after. Conclusion Probably the highest quality batch of locally grown, small batch cannabis available in DC right now, all connoisseurs far and wide should look to put some of this Gelato Grape Pie in their stash box ASAP. To learn more about Jawi and his awesome craft cannabis you can check them and their beautiful harvest photos out on IG @jawigrown2.

Initial Thoughts Like something out of a fairytale this Tinker Bell flower, currently available at DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, Hotbox Uptown, is magically potent and exotically delicious.

Internally the trichomes are still starry. Status Fresh and just beginning to cure. Soft and supple to touch and break up. Aroma Piney, sour, earthy, and gassy with hints of cream. Flavor Super smooth and gassy with a potent cream and pine flavor that has a strangely sweet aftertaste. Lineage The lineage of this Tinker Bell is unknown and it seems to be unrelated to the Tinkerbell's Revenge strain given that this batch has a balanced lean versus sativa-dominant. Effects A fast acting and highly euphoric buzz accompanies a balance between mental relaxation and uplifting body high. Perhaps it the suggestive power of the name, but it did make me feel quit light on my feet and the world seemed to take on a more cheery and bright disposition.

Initial Thoughts This Donkey Kong from DC cannabis delivery service, HYFE, won't hit you over the head with a barrel like the old school video game character of the same name. However, its indica dominant potency is ready to pack all the angst from the week up in a barrel and smash it while sending you into a comfortably horizontal position for the night. Appearance Beautiful fluffy buds with lots of purple coloration and sparse aquamarine patches. Most of the trichomes are super frosty while the rest are hyper white. Status Fresh and just beginning to cure. Aroma Sweet and earthy with hints of berries and wild flowers. The fruitiness gets much more intense when you squeeze it or break it up. Flavor The inhale is fruity and earthy, but the exhale is exotic and kush-like with spices amidst sour fruit and cheese. Very delicious! Lineage The Donkey Kong strain is a cross of Death Star and Banana OG that runs heavily indica dominant at 90/10. Effects Sedated and fuzzy headed is how I felt several minutes after taking a few hits of this Donkey Kong. Like every great indica, it had a hugely euphoric body high and about an hour in, once I got my footing again, I had to head straight for the snack cabinet. Great for slaying any pain or anxiety for me, this one also laid me down to rest in what felt like large comfy pillows that weren't actually there. For whatever it's worth, I also had a strange craving for bananas when I awoke in the morning. Conclusion If you're looking for a great after work indica option or something to send you off to dreamland with a luxurious high, look no further than this Donkey Kong. To grab some for yourself just hit up the always friendly and punctual HYFE today. Don't forget to let them know you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts The tart cherry nose on this Black Cherry Soda from DC i-71 cannabis dispensary, The Treehouse, is so bold it's reminiscent of the actual beverage itself - something I also love in the summertime. I don't know if you can call a flower's scent effervescent, but that's the first word that came to mind when I got might first whiff. Maybe that's how it got the Soda in its name - very appropriate! 🍒🥤 Appearance Beefy, dense, and bright green buds with purple accents, orange hairs, and both starry and white trichomes throughout. Status Fresh, but starting to cure. Aroma A tart, fruity, decidedly cherry profile with hints of lime and cake. Flavor Tart, fruity, bready, and gassy with hints of lemon and earth. Lineage The Black Cherry Soda strain is a combination of Cherry AK47, Cinderella 99, Ortega, Airborne G13, and Blackberry strains that can run from 50/50 to 80/20 sativa heavy depending on the pheno and breeder preference. I would call this batch balanced with some sativa energy. Effects This is a tricky high because it comes on strong with initially disorienting effects, but then the headiness brings both clarity and energy. It's uplifting, but if you get caught by the initial onset too much you could be frozen in a mesmerized state for a half hour. In the past I've experienced Black Cherry Soda cuts that are tremendously uplifting with coffee-like energy, but I would say this batch is much more mellow than that. Probably best left for the daytime and definitely not for the newbs. Conclusion This is a great batch of one of my top ten favorite varietals and its flavor is utterly delicious in any format. The uplifting aspects are great for helping me power through my to-do list and I don't feel any edginess like I might with some other powerful sativa's. To check out this Black Cherry Soda for yourself just head to The Treehouse DC today and don't forget to tell them you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts Strawberry Mango Haze is one of the latest offerings from DC i-71 storefront dispensary, Cheeba DC. Believe it or not, my mothers favorite lineage of cannabis derives from strawberry strains. They tend to be more uplifting and give her that boost of energy she needs after raising 3 boys. Appearance Lush green hues intertwined with patches of strawberry orange pistils, showcasing a colorful and vibrant bud. Status Curing. Aroma A hazy, sweet, and fruity aroma rush through your nostrils. The enticing scent was a medley of ripe strawberries similar to other family members in the strawberry family tree.
