Initial Thoughts: I had not heard of The Glove as a cultivar before and it's always exciting when I get to try something completely new. Often times when a new name comes my way, though, it's a creative designer name, but the true identity of the strain is hidden and kept secret. That's not the case here and I'm stoked to tell you, this is a Gary Payton and Jealousy cross.🤤 Appearance: Very trichome heavy buds with rich purples and pale light greens. Status: Beginning to cure, but still with a fresh aroma and flavor. Aroma: Sweet, creamy, and sugary with sour lemon notes and hints of pine. Flavor: Very much like the aroma with a combination of sweet cream and sour fruit. There are also hints of gas, pine, and earth. Very complex and delectable. Lineage: The Glove is a cross of Gary Payton Cookies and Jealousy that runs 70/30 indica heavy. Effects: At onset this batch created a vibrant and cheery high with a mix between head and back as focal points for its euphoric tingles. With each subsequent hit the innate heaviness increased and a calm disorientation overtook me much like a record being slowed down until all the voices were much deeper. I didn't experience any actual auditory hallucinations, but thinking about what it would be like if that happened made me laugh and geek out a bit on my couch. Conclusion: I thoroughly enjoyed rolling up and burning down on this highly potent batch of The Glove from DC i-71 weed delivery service, Flower Ave. It's a refined toke that hits super smooth, has a great creamy aftertaste, and makes for sensational evening sessions.

Initial Thoughts We've been thoroughly impressed with the flower selections at DC i-71 delivery team HYFE recently and as an example check out this sample of Candy Wafers. It's got all the hallmarks of some exquisite designer exotic and I'm looking forward to sparking it up! Appearance Dense and light green-colored buds with purple flecks strewn throughout and lots of frosty trichomes. Status Curing, but recently harvested. Aroma A candy-like sour fruit aroma similar to a Lemon Cherry Gelato or Runtz hybrid, but with some pine and citrus notes. This one has a very exotic and complex nose. Flavor Piney, gassy, sour, and tart with hints of fruit. Super smooth and exquisitely delicious. Lineage Candy Wafer's lineage is, as best we can tell, a closely held secret. Effects This one comes on as a disorienting cerebral high that is uplifting and intense. Then it sets you back with a heavy euphoria and a drawn out daze. It's a mellow and do something that doesn't require much energy high, but it takes about 20 or 30 minutes of an energetic, nearly manic stage to get there. Not for the newbs, but it will take an old school head back to early days of toking for sure. Bring lots of water! Conclusion This is a powerful batch of this Candy Wafer that rolls and smokes like some of the best exotic buds out there. To have some conveniently brought to your door just hit up HYFE asap and let them know that you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts I've been a huge fan of this Red Velvet from DC i-71 storefront, The Garden, this week. It's got this amazingly pungent aroma that's tangy, bready, and skunky like a great fruity Cake variety. In fact, it's so cakey it makes me think of angel food cake, and the various fruity toppings that can go on it, everytime I hit it.🤤 Appearance Deep green and purple buds with hyper-white and starry trichomes. Status These dense buds are sticky and fresh! Aroma Awesome. Fruity, cakey, and tangy. Flavor Fruity and cakey, much like the aroma, but with hints of cream and vanilla. It's somewhere between a lemon cherry gelato and jungle cake. Lineage Red Velvet is an indica leaning, yet energetic, hybrid that was created by crossing Lemon Cherry Gelato and Pina Acai strains. It runs roughly 60/40 in terms of indica/sativa ratio. Effects There's a joyously uplifting vibe that's created by this batch. I absolutely love it in the daytime and it keeps me buzzing in a warm, but energetic, body buzz while keeping me relatively mellow and focused. There's little to no disorientation for me, yet all digestive and joint pain is immediately quelled by it. Conclusion Even though it's no where near my favorite cupcake flavor, I'm really psyched on this batch of Red Velvet flower. This is mostly because of the cheery, uplifting, and energetic buzz, but also because the flavor is just so hard to put down. Definitely head over to The Garden this weekend to grab some for your own stash and give this one a try. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts This batch of Pink Cookies from DC i-71 delivery service Exotic Organics has a great aroma - one that is indicative freshness and spot-on for the strain. I'm psyched to roll it up and from the looks of it, I already know it's going to be a great toke. Appearance Bright green coniferous buds with good trichome coverage. Status Just beginning to cure. Aroma Like a slightly overdone sugar cookie with hints of pine and gas. Flavor Gassy, yet sugary and with the same hints of pine as the aroma. Lineage Pink Cookies is an evenly balanced hybrid and a cross of the famous Cherry Pie and Girl Scout Cookies strains. Effects This one is highly cerebral at first, but in an uplifting way. It gave me an energetic headspace and plenty of focus to go about my day, yet when I needed to relax and take a load off it was no problem at all. It's definitely a great afternoon toke, but I could see its comforting body high being a welcomed feeling in the morning as well. Maybe slightly too uplifting for some to enjoy at night.

Initial Thoughts With incredible packaging and gorgeous harvests, I've been aware of local DC cultivator and box purveyor, Voyager Club, for some time now. However, their desire has been to remain mostly low key and low profile - and we respect that. Yet, with things beginning to move even more, shall we say, "into the light" with the upcoming conversion period in DC upon us (from i-71 to medical), local cultivators like Voyager Club have been more open to having their presence known about - and we love that!❤️ Why, you ask? Because, this is a local group that has put a ton of time and care into all aspects of their cannabis and we think it really shows. Therefore, we've been eager to show it to you, but we didn't want to do it without their permission. So now, without further adieu, check out this spectacular Rainbow Pebblez specimen. Let's just say my "initial thoughts" on it were something like, "Oh, f**K yeah!" Appearance Bright green, fluffy buds with a heavy amount of starry trichomes and flecks of light purple at the top. Status Fresh and just starting to cure. Structure Note that these buds are hand-trimmed and grown without pesticides so their color, shape, and texture are all a little different that what you might see at other shops. They're also never compressed in storage so they remain fluffy with structure intact. Aroma A vibrant and effervescent combination of anise, lemon, and sweet berries. Flavor Fruit forward with lots of lemon and hints of berries and anise. Lineage Rainbow Pebblez is an indica-dominant cross of Fruity Pebbles OG and Rainbow Zkittlez. Effects This batch hits smooth and with a fruitiness that overtakes every orifice. Like a haze, it goes straight to your head and starts to envelop your cortex with its fruitiness too. Then, hold on to your hats because a whirlwind body buzz churns up rendering motor functions nearly useless. Slightly uplifting and without much sedation, I was bleary-eyed stoned and pain free. Note that the disorientation makes any major to-do items tricky, however. Conclusion This is some impressive eye candy with an absolutely delicious fruity aroma and flavor. Though I would have liked to see some more robust bracts and a tighter trim, there's no questioning that this flower is top tier, highly potent, and worthy of the 9/10 score. It's also fresh and grown locally in small batches which makes for that much better of an experience. To join the Voyager Club and start catching these gorgeous boxes of buds for yourself just head to their site and hit "apply for membership". Once approved you'll be able to login and place your order for delivery. When you do be sure to let them know that Toker's Guide sent you!

Do you remember pop-ups? Or your first-time walking into an I-71 storefront? I do not think we appreciate them enough. My friends and I used to drive around looking for bud hoping that one of our go-to street plugs would respond to our texts. Even IF they responded, many times they didn't know what they were giving us; they'd make up a name or simply call it "G". Once I started using I-71 services it felt like I was introduced to a new era of cannabis. As a Toker, I was satisfied in every way, prices were great and the convenience felt surreal. Admittedly, I became bougie. I started looking for more when it came to my flower. Better taste, bigger buds, and real THC numbers. It felt like medical cannabis would be my best and only option in that regard. Having THC testing and exploring terpenes can be fantastic, but many of us have realized that sometimes even the highest-testing medical flower is not always the most effective. It can even be a cash grab in more corporate markets. I needed something different. Something that would leave me feeling like a kid in a candy store again. To find it, I threw myself back into I-71's. While browsing around at Monko DC, I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. What an experience! Even as picky as I am, it took no time for them to recommend Twix. This was something I'd never seen in flower, but I knew at first sight it would be an excellent choice. I was amazed by how beautiful this bud was and what I originally thought were purple hints are actually dark chocolate-colored tones surrounded by an abundance of trichomes. I love strains that deliver a unique smoking experience and flavor such as Twix. I kept my nose in the jar for quite some time, as the smell it gave off was pungent and musky, but carried an undeniable sweetness that made my taste buds cheer with excitement. Twix tastes sweet on the inhale with a subtle gassy chocolate hit on the exhale; very similar to how it smells. Twix was dense but not brittle and would stick to my grinder easily. It was smooth down to the tip and never harsh. The burn was slow and clean, so much so that I enjoyed watching the white ash fall as I pulled. I couldn't help but pop it in my Volcano vaporizer as well and my goodness, Twix was one of the most delectable strains I have ever had. Anxiety becomes a non-factor whenever smoking Twix; it feels so heavy on my eyelids that I cannot help but smile from the euphoria. All my stress is completely eradicated, and I feel like my feet are wrapped in dense clouds. Twix carries an incredible amount of potency. Even though it was the last strain in my rotation, it was longer lasting, and harder hitting than anything else I had. Throughout the session, I stared at my joint multiple times and grinned from ear to ear. This is a prime example of why THC should not be all you are looking for in regard to efficacy. I do not know what the official testing for Twix is, but its effects are so incredible that I would easily put it with some of the best and highest potency strains in the medical and recreational markets. Take a trip over to Monko and experience Twix for yourself today. They have a stellar lineup, and you are definitely in for a treat!

Initial Thoughts These Wonderland Watermelon Gummies are just what I needed this week! This is because my throat had been itchy and scratchy all thanks to some fine friend at work - someone who felt like he should ignore the medical events happening in his life and just come on in and get everyone sick. So when flower and dabs are not what you need, a soothing gummy can really save the day. By the looks of the packaging, these things are gonna be flavorful and properly dosed for what my needs are. Appearance The Bright green package indicated that there were 10 pieces inside and the amount of THC in the package was 500mg. Therefore, if my 4th grade division is still sharp, that means 50mg per piece. Upon opening, these little orange-esque and sugar coated cubes were just waiting for me to eat them. They looked very non-kid candy like. That is what I prefer. I like when edibles look like edibles and not like something on the shelf at the convenience store. These had a more boutique appearance to me and I appreciate that. Status Fresh. The package was sealed, and the candies inside were not old or stale. They were soft and chewy like they should be. Flavor These had a sour watermelon flavor that I really liked and note that there wasn’t an overly powerful weed flavor that some people are turned off by. Effects In terms of effects, this is definitely going to depend on who you ask. My wife had half of a gummy, was very high all night, and swears she woke up high the next day. For me, I know that 200mg is what I usually have and decided to eat 2 , which is 100mg. Then, after waiting an hour, I can confirm that I was pretty faded. I didn’t eat any more at that point and I remained on cloud 9 for the remainder of the evening. Then it helped me float off to dreamland and get some extra restful sleep. Conclusion Whether it's having a good time, laughing your butt off, stimulating your appetite, relaxing your muscles, or going to sleep, these gummies will do the trick. Note that they do need to be taken with caution, especially if you are unfamiliar with ingesting THC and the potency involved. Going low and slow is the idea, even when they are as mouthwatering as these little squares are. To grab some vegan Wonderland Watermelon Gummies for yourself just head down to DC i-71 storefront MASC today and don't forget to tell them you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts Check out this Purple Sherbert specimen from the always cordial and customer-service oriented DC cannabis delivery service, The Gift Givers. It's fresh, has a mega gassy and funky nose, and it's ready to get you (and me) stoned all afternoon long. Appearance Bright green, fluffy buds with starry trichomes and flecks of violet. Status Beginning to cure and not too long since harvest. Aroma Sweet and sour fruit with notes of cream and gasoline. Flavor Fruity, funky, and gassy with hints of cream. The aftertaste is especially delicious. Lineage Purple Sherbert is an indica dominant cross of Purple Kush and Sunset Sherbert that's known for its astounding delectability. Effects This is a strain that can easily and instantly wash all stress away and generate a heady high that is mega calming and full of relaxation. It literally made me want to say, "Ahhhh" after hitting it and every time I sat down while experiencing its cozy, euphoric buzz. Conclusion Great for chilling out in the afternoon with friends (note it has an uncanny social comfort level for an indica heavy hybrid) or streaming some shows in the evening, this is a real treat for indica lovers and all those looking for some R & R. To have it brought to you quickly and with a smiling face just hit up The Gift Givers ASAP and let them know you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts It's hard to argue with the convenience of a pack of pre-rolls. All that time you would spend grinding and rolling you can now put to better use as you simply pull out your previously rolled joint (pre-roll) and spark it up, on demand. But, with all the pre-rolls out there nowadays, how do you know which ones are REALLY going to do the trick? Maybe you even want a little more "bang" than just the standard flower pre-roll. Enter these Holy Smokes "Fire In Fire Out" live has infused pre-rolls from DC i-71 delivery unit, Top Secret. Appearance A hardened, folding container keeps these coniferous joints in good shape and form, and their size is just right given the potency. Think of them as really strong dogwalkers. Status The premium flower and live hash contents are of a fresh nature. Aroma Imagine hints of the lemon head candy you remember from being a kid mixed with earthy and spicy notes. Flavor: Hints of lemon and earth accent an all around hashy and exotic smoke. Lineage: There are a couple different cultivars out there claiming the name Lemon Heads, but this one is likely the sativa-leaning Kush cut originally bred by Royal Choice Farms. Effects: This uplifting high is accentuated by the similarly uplifting live hash, replete with citrus-oriented terpenes. It's ready to tie a cheery headband around your dome and infuse your day with a joyous amount of productive energy while keeping the stoney euphoria rolling in waves. These are good for a daytime toke, but they're also VERY potent so newbies will want to take it slow and limit to a few puffs at first until oriented to the heavy sativa influence. Otherwise you may hear them exclaiming "Holy Smokes" as more of a call for help than elation. Conclusion: Get everything on your to-do list done and clear your weekend calendar for activities with friends once you have this highly energizing specimen in your grasp. The durable container will ensure that you can take them anywhere (except water sports - you'll still need a dry bag for that) and their potency and share-ability will infuse all your stoner buddies with a joyful vibe. To have some Holy Smokes delivered to your door just hit up Top Secret DC today. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Initial Thoughts I'm personally a big fan of Kush Mintz, and I'm excited to try this one coming out of DC i-71 delivery service, Cannabear, right now. As a sought after strain in the modern cannabis world, I've been seeing a lot of Kush Mintz variations and crosses recently. This is likely due to its uniquely delicious flavor profile that combines minty-ness with exotic, earthy kush notes and this sample is a great example of said cultivar. Appearance Beautiful deep green and purple buds dripping in trichomes all over. Structure Spongy triangle shaped nugs. Status Cured well. Breaks down really well. Not crumbly, but easy to work with by hand. Aroma This strain gives a minty and earthy classic kush smell. Flavor I loved the flavor of this strain, it tastes very much like you'd expect from the smell, but a bit sweeter. This sweetness was on the inhale and exhale with most of the minty-ness in the aftertaste. Lineage Kush Mintz is a balanced hybrid cross of Animal Mints and Bubba Kush. Effects I smoked this at the end of my day and it lead to a restful evening of relaxation without much drowsiness. I felt at ease, joyful, playful and ended up being being super silly, even rolling around on the floor with my dog for a while. I'd say this strain is uplifting in mood, but relaxing and stress relieving in general - a great combination for those who want to take a load off, but not go comatose in the process. Conclusion This strain helped to stimulate my appetite and put me in a bubbly, radiant mood while relaxing my bones. I'd suggest this if you are looking for a flavorful flower and a happy head high with an otherwise calming demeanor. To grab some of this fine flower for yourself just hit up Cannabear today and don't forget to let them know you heard about it on Toker's Guide!

Initial Thoughts In my search for something with a fruity, yet gassy aroma and a combination of bubbly cerebral high and euphoric body buzz I stumbled upon this batch of Ice Cream Cookies from DC i-71 storefront, The Green Room. I knew as soon as I cracked open the jar that it was the stance I was looking for almost like an imaginary light bulb lit up above my head saying, "Oh! Pick this one!"💡 Appearance Light green with hints of purple appearing in some lighting. Good trichome coverage. Structure Beefy and dense. Status Curing, but still has many starry trichomes intact. Aroma Cakey and sweet with hints of gas. Flavor Vanilla and sweet on the inhale. Exhale is cakey and also sweet with hints of fruit, cream, and gas. Lineage Ice Cream Cookies is an Indica dominant hybrid cross of Gelato 33 and Wedding Cake. Effects Before I even noticed a high going on in my mind, I noticed the body feel. It was ever-so-slightly energetic with a kind and gentle cradling effect. It was a little bit hard to describe, but by cradling I mean I felt like I was being held by the couch that I was slowly melting into. I felt very cozy and comfortable in my body, and my mind was certainly at ease during the whole experience, with cheerful and calming thoughts winning out. Conclusion Personally, I would use this strain for anxiety during the day, as well as a nice relaxing evening buzz. It didn't make me feel extremely heavy, but it did make me feel very comfortable and melty. Perhaps the best part was the delicious flavor with a rich cookie, cake-like aftertaste on every hit. You can get your own stash of these delectable Ice Cream Cookies at The Green Room today. When you pop in, don't forget to let them know Toker's Guide sent you their way!
