Initial Thoughts Khalifa Mints is the first crossbreed to come out of the Khalifa Kush weed brand and is the result of crossing The Menthol strain with Khalifa Kush. Given the quality and delightfulness of their flagship strain, as previously reviewed here, the Toker's Guide team was super psyched about getting to try this latest creation, now available from DC cannabis delivery service, The Gift Givers. Appearance Large hand-trimmed buds that are a mix of light and dark green with lots of white and starry trichomes throughout. Status Fresh, but starting to cure. Aroma Gassy, earthy, and minty with hints of pine and cheese. Flavor Smooth and earthy with a minty, creamy, and piney aftertaste. Very similar to Tahoe OG and other earthy/piney OG's. Lineage The Khalifa Mints strain is a cross of Khalifa Kush and The Menthol that runs indica dominant. Effects This highly potent batch of Khalifa Mints has similar euphoric effects as the Khalifa Kush original, but with more energy and cerebral qualities. It's still calming, but doesn't give you any couch-lock making it quite the versatile hybrid. In that regard, I'd say it's good for both day and night, but probably optimal in the afternoon given its more uplifting nature (perhaps not the best for sleep) and intoxicating aspects (not the best for productivity). Conclusion We really like what the Khalifa Kush crew has going on and this batch of Khalifa Mints is a prime example of the quality work they're doing in terms of breeding and cultivation. To experience it for yourself just hit up The Gift Givers today and don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts With a name like King Kong Piss it’s hard not to be intrigued by the latest offering from DC i-71 storefront dispensary, HotBox Uptown, and that's even before seeing or smelling the sample. The names that stoners come up with for strains never cease to amaze me, but I’m just glad it didn’t taste anything like the name in a literal sense. 😅 Appearance Greens and purples collide to create a distinct contrast in colors on these dense, rotund buds. The trichomes are abundant and still white. Status Fresh, but beginning to cure. Perfect moisture. Aroma A pungent and mega skunky aroma was immediately noticeable. Notes of tropical fruits and fuel combine to demonstrate just how fresh this batch is. Flavor The first thing I noticed was the smoothness that this King Kong Piss had toke after toke. Sweet inhales that lead to effortless exhales. It took me about half the joint before I keyed in on the grape flavor that makes this strain extra enjoyable. Gassy, grape-like, and slightly sour is how I would characterize the aftertaste of this batch. Delicious. Lineage The lineage for King Kong Piss is unknown, but one can assume it's a cross of King Kong and Cheetah Piss. We also believe it to be a balanced 50/50 hybrid. Effects As I lit up, the first few draws lifted my spirits and energized my mind. The effects are mostly cerebral, but my body did appreciate the gentle soothing and calming effect that melted away any stress or tension. Perhaps most notable for me was the immense case of munchies I experienced. I had to raid my pantry in a way King Kong would have been proud of - already deciding what to eat next while I stuffed my face with the last snack. Conclusion This strain exceeded my expectations and King Kong Piss lived up to its bold name because it checked every box for me: flavor, scent, and effects. Not to mention, it helped clear up a headache I felt forming in the back of my neck.

That feeling is not unlike the feeling I had seeing this batch of Soul Mate, cultivated by &Shine, on Cannabist’s menu in Portsmouth. As someone who considers myself a “Cannaisseur” and a bit of a romantic, I enjoy finding strains which combine the two and create something magical! I can really tell &Shine puts a lot of love into the cultivation of each strain, so what better one to try than Soul Mate?

Aroma Have you ever seen the lemonade trucks where they smash the lemons in each cup to make lemonade? That potent, mouthwatering citrusy scent hits you in the face the second you crack the lid on the jar! As you pull apart the buds, there are hints of lavender hidden in the fragrance that create quite the sensual environment. Flavor Tart notes of citrus paired with herbaceous lavender make this batch of Soul Mate absolutely savorous! The lemon and lavender together bring me back to when I was learning how to bake with my Nana. The warmth.. Love.. Comfort.. All those cozy feelings come rushing back with every puff. I just love when bud triggers my olfactory memory. 😌 What about you? Lineage When it comes to Soul Mate’s parent strains, Pinesoul and Wookie, it’s safe to say these two are a match made in heaven! Effects Soul Mate is a great strain for a plethora of stomach issues, as it helps to ease any sort of pain you may be experiencing while triggering hunger. As someone who has tummy problems, I wish I would have found this strain sooner! The top terpene in this strain is Limonene, which is notorious for its anti-anxiety and digestive aid properties. After a bowl of Soul Mate, I was more talkative, comfortable and extremely munchie. My stomach pain was nonexistent, even after eating. As I wound down for the evening, I smoked another bowl which led to me falling asleep on my couch. Overall, what more can I ask for from such a well balanced hybrid! Conclusion To say I’ve fallen in love with this strain would be an understatement. From its delectable aroma to its heavenly flavors and effects, this is the strain that keeps on giving.

Initial Thoughts Back with some gassy, slightly fruity, exotic fire, our friends over at Flower Ave recently graced us with this designer bag of Bodega Trixx. The pack art is a little cheesy, but this is probably "tongue-in-cheek" humor because the contents was nothing short of superb.👌 Appearance Robust, dense buds with lime green and purple throughout and a mega frosty layer of trichomes. Status Starting to cure. Aroma Gassy, chemmy, piney, and with notes of sour fruit this batch greatly resembles some Lemon Cherry Gelato in aroma. Flavor Gassy, but smooth and with an aftertaste that has notes of chem, cream, pine, and sour fruit. Lineage The Trix strain is a cross of Colombian Gold and Chemdawg that runs sativa dominant at 90/10. We're not sure where the "Bodega" in the name comes from, but we're pretty sure it's a closely guarded secret that adds some indica influence to the mix. Effects Heady and uplifting this strain comes on like a great sativa or some Sour Diesel. Soon however, this energetic phase shifts to a glowing body buzz, but one where doing things still feels good. Much like a balanced hybrid with focus and drive, it's great for adventures during day or night, but probably best to avoid if you're trying to get some sleep. Conclusion Not for silly rabbits or kids, this batch of Bodega Trixx is yet another bag of designer excellence from DC i-71 delivery service, Flower Ave. To grab some for your own stash box just give them a shout today and don't forget to tell them you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Status Fresh, but just beginning to cure.

Flavor Exotically delicious with a rich gassy flavor and notes of buttercream, coffee, and fresh cut floral arrangements. Lineage The Daisy's Breath strain is a Bloomingdale Organic bred cross of In House Genetics' Trichopath (Platinum X Jelly Breath) and Chemistry #1 (HeadBanger OG X MotorBreath 15). It runs indica dominant. Effects Comparable to a balanced 50/50 high, at first, this Daisy's Breath is alarmingly potent cerebrally at on-set.

Overall, the buzz is a psychedelic joyride of sorts that eventually left me vegetating comfortably on my couch with a huge grin on my face.

Initial Thoughts Amazingly this batch of Cinnamon Rolls actually smells a lot like fresh cinnamon rolls, in a ganja sort of way. This was clear from the moment I opened the opaque jar from DC i-71 storefront dispensary, Monko. As you might expect, these buds are also quite sticky - like an oooey gooey cinnamon roll - when you break them up. 🤤 Appearance Rotund, dark green, and purple hand-trimmed buds with starry trichomes. Status Starting to cure, but the aroma is still fresh. Aroma Sweet, sugary, and bready with a hint of spice that's not far from cinnamon. Flavor Gassy and bready with hints of the same sort of spice mentioned for the aroma. Highly exotic. Lineage The Cinnamon Rolls strain is a cross of Pancakes and Runtz that runs slightly indica dominant. Effects Surprisingly uplifting in a calm, but joyous way, these buds are quite euphoric. I seemed to have no trouble conversing and recalling funny stories and anecdotes from memory, yet I was clearly in a spellbound state of mind given the intoxicating nature of the high. Sitting felt good and streaming shows was very enjoyable - I definitely didn't get a sense of couch lock either. Conclusion Overall, this is a great indica-oriented option for late afternoon or early evening. It can immediately help you take a load off and bring a head change that can forge the perfect relaxing, but not sleepy, evening. It's warm feels and mood enhancement were, in a way, sort of like having a cinnamon roll for dessert instead of breakfast. To grab some of these Cinnamon Rolls for yourself just head to Monko ASAP.

Initial Thoughts If you're looking for gummies that can produce potent indica effects, but also taste phenomenal, check out these Live Resin Blueberry Gummies from DC i-71 storefront dispensary, Mother Blossom. They're super juicy with immense blueberry flavor, no sign of weed or chemicals, and they carry all the euphoric indica vibes you could ask for. 🫐🤤 Appearance Blue rectangular cubes with sour crystal sprinkles on the outside. Status Fresh and squishy. They were sealed in a professional-grade pouch. Aroma Sweet, fruity, and tart like blueberry candy should be. Flavor Juicy and full of fruity, sour, sweet and tart blueberry flavor. Ingredients The ingredient list says "Broad Spectrum Delta-9-THC Distillate", but we've sought clarification and they've confirmed this is a typo and they are, in fact, made with a blend of live resin sourced from various indica flower. Effects Each gummy is 50mg so I ended up taking half and then the other half about an hour later. The effects came on slowly and I experienced a growing feeling of calm with tingles of euphoria. I quickly got the sense that I'd eaten a strong cannabis edible in every movement and activity - it was a pervasive buzz. Overall, I was very mellow and superbly comfortable in head and body. Make sure you don't over do it on these, though. In my mind's eye, that would equate to Violet eating the experimental blueberry gum in the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - she basically turned into a blueberry herself! Conclusion I thoroughly enjoyed these indica-oriented edibles even though I took them in the late morning. They presented me with a wonderful sense of warm and cozy euphoria to help alleviate all my stresses and kept me in a tranquil state most of the early afternoon too.
