Originally titled Soma Skunk V, this strain was renamed to better reflect the deep, meditative relaxation it provides without fully extinguishing mental clarity. Effects Reclining Buddha is a mostly indica cannabis strain that provides a deeply physically relaxing experience, making it highly effective for easing bodily tension and managing physical discomfort. Unlike heavier sedative indicas, it maintains enough mental energy for introspective and creative activities, making it suitable for low-to-moderate energy tasks where mental engagement is still desired. Its therapeutic profile is supported by a terpene blend led by myrcene, which drives its earthy scent and calming physical effects; limonene, which adds a citrus brightness that may help elevate mood; and caryophyllene, which provides a spicy undertone and assists with physical comfort. These qualities make Reclining Buddha an excellent choice for those seeking a balance of physical tranquility and creative inspiration.

Aroma This strain is famous for its distinct cherry-scented profile. The bouquet is primarily sweet and fruity, often described as reminiscent of dark cherries or berries, with underlying notes of skunky earthiness inherited from its Skunk lineage. Flavor The taste mirrors the aroma, offering a smooth smoke with a prominent sweet cherry flavor. On the exhale, users often notice a spicy, herbal, and slightly woody aftertaste that lingers on the palate. Lineage Reclining Buddha features a complex genetic background, bred from a three-way cross of Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean, and Holland’s Hope. This combination blends robust Skunk genetics with the hardy, outdoor-optimized traits of Holland’s Hope. Terpene Profile - Myrcene: The most prevalent terpene, contributing to the strain's earthy scent and sedative physical effects. - Limonene: Adds a subtle citrus brightness and potentially mood-elevating properties. - Caryophyllene: Provides a touch of spicy pepper and may assist with physical comfort.Effects The experience is characterized by a "physically relaxing" sensation that eases tension throughout the body. Unlike many heavy indicas, it leaves enough "mental energy for introspective and creative activities," making it a popular choice for those who want to unwind while remaining mentally engaged or artistic. Cultivation Preferences Growers favor Reclining Buddha for its versatility and hardiness. - Environment: It is particularly noted for its high resistance to mold, making it a reliable choice for humid climates. - Growth Habit: It thrives both indoors and outdoors, showing significant vitality when grown in natural sunlight. - Yield: It is known for producing large yields of high-quality, resin-heavy buds. - Flowering Time: Typically completes its flowering cycle in about 9 to 10 weeks.Origin The strain originated in the Netherlands, created by the world-renowned breeder Soma of Soma Seeds, who is famous for organic growing methods and holistic breeding philosophies. Seed Suppliers Authentic genetics are primarily available through Soma Seeds and various international seed banks that carry Soma’s library, such as Seedsman, Attitude Seedbank, and Alchimia. Conclusion Reclining Buddha is an exceptional choice for those seeking a therapeutic indica that balances physical tranquility with creative inspiration. Its robust resistance to mold and impressive yields make it as rewarding for the cultivator as it is for the connoisseur looking for a unique, cherry-flavored experience. Previous Next

Klutch Cannabis has opened a culturally rich dispensary in downtown Cleveland, located in the historic Record Rendezvous building. The store pays homage to the building's legacy as a cultural hub where rock and roll was born. The design balances modern retail with mid-century nostalgia, incorporating Cleveland-linked musical artifacts and themes. Klutch aims to be a steward of this historic asset, providing a unique experience for customers and contributing to the community's history. The Cleveland flagship is a key part of Klutch's expansion, which includes opening new stores in Ohio. < Back Klutch Cannabis Revives Cleveland’s Musical Landmark Oct 2, 2025 Source: Taylor Engle MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link In the heart of downtown Cleveland’s entertainment district, where neon signs and live music pulse through the city’s veins, Klutch Cannabis has opened what may be Ohio’s most culturally rich dispensary. The store sits inside the historic Record Rendezvous building, a landmark as deeply entwined with American rock and roll as the genre’s first guitar chord. Cleveland knows how to hold history. It’s a city of grit, artistic genius, and deep creative soul. And now, at 300 Prospect Avenue East, that legacy finds new expression through Klutch’s flagship dispensary, a space that feels less like retail and more like reverence. Where rock and roll was born To understand the dispensary’s design, one must understand the building’s historical context. Record Rendezvous was much more than just a music store. It was a cultural lightning rod. Under the vision of founder Leo Mintz, young Clevelanders came together across racial and class divides to indulge their common love of music in shared listening booths. “Leo was an innovator, and his store was a place where Black and white people came together and stood shoulder to shoulder listening to music together,” said Pete Nischt, Klutch’s vice president of compliance and communications. “He noticed that a certain genre of music was causing patrons to literally ‘rock and roll’ as they listened.” [image: Customer seating area and checkout counter inside Klutch Cannabis’ Cleveland dispensary with neon signage and merchandise display.] Mintz coined the now-iconic phrase, helped launch legendary disc jockey Alan Freed’s career, and planted the seed for the Moondog Coronation Ball — generally acknowledged as the world’s first rock-and-roll concert. Although the inaugural event at the Cleveland Arena in 1952 ended in chaos, rock and roll was unstoppable. Mintz, Freed, and local concert promoter Lew Platt “underestimated the cultural impact,” Nischt said. “They decided to plan the ball. They brought in some bands, printed tickets in the store, and sold them all the first night. Then they went back to schedule a second night but forgot to change the date when they printed the tickets.” With twice as many attendees as the arena could hold, not everyone could get inside. Ticketholders “were banging down the door to get in,” Nischt said. (In fact, contemporary reports described the scene as a riot.) “The guys were caught off guard by how popular the music really was and what they’d done together.” Mintz owned Record Rendezvous from its founding in 1938 until it closed in 1987. When the Klutch team stepped into the crumbling remains of yesteryear — long vacant and condemned more than once — they knew they wouldn’t be just renovating a building. They would be restoring a legend. “Retail is going through a hard time right now, but the cannabis industry provides a unique opportunity where it’s still brick-and-mortar retail dominant,” Nischt said. “And that’s what made a dispensary the perfect thing for this building. We would have been excited about it even without the history, but when you’re working with that kind of story, it’s not like we were just going to sell marijuana. We’ve taken on something of greater importance to the community: We are stewards of a historic asset. That was the impetus for this entire project and its design process.” A space that sings The design journey wasn’t easy. The building was erected in 1905, and the structure was decrepit when Klutch came across it. But thanks to historic preservation tax credits and sheer determination, the team brought the venerable edifice back to life — not as an exact replica, but a charming remix. Inside, the dispensary balances modern retail with mid-century nostalgia. Floor-to-ceiling murals mimic the view from inside a 1950s record store. Listening-room-style displays in the front windows feature curated Cleveland-linked vinyl from modern indie students at Case Western University to rare Iggy Pop and David Bowie recordings from the Agora in 1977. “Instead of blacking out the windows, which would have violated historic preservation rules, we recreated the original record displays from back in the day, and we also tried to recreate a Mid-Century Modern listening room,” Nischt said. “All of the records we have on display, we submitted lengthy explanations of why we felt each one was important to include, and they were all selected due to their connections to Cleveland and/or northeast Ohio.” [image: Close-up view of Klutch Cannabis album cover wall featuring Kid Cudi and other iconic musicians.]Classic and contemporary record jackets line the walls. (Photo: Klutch Cannabis) Nothing about the design was left to chance. Even the empty product displays are intentional, designed to be compliant while staying on theme. “The city wanted us to restore the building as close to its original aesthetic as possible, and that was on top of the [Division of] Cannabis Control restrictions we already had to keep in mind,” Nischt said. “But our North Star was paying homage to Record Rendezvous. Whenever we came across a hurdle, we relied on that to guide us, to stay true to the vision.” The result is a dispensary where the curious and connoisseurs alike are greeted by guitars, original posters, Klutch-branded record sleeves, and a deep sense of place. The energy is welcoming, open, and effortlessly cool. Kiosks make the ordering experience seamless, while roaming budtenders help customers explore the menu and find what they seek. “I think if you’re a tourist coming to Cleveland and spending some time downtown, this is a cool place to come and see just because of what happened here years ago,” Nischt said.

This isn’t just a sleek showroom or trendy wellness space. It’s a love letter to Cleveland history. On any given day, a mix of regulars and visitors stream in: fans headed to a concert, folks grabbing dinner on East 4th Street, sports fans fresh from a Guardians game. They might not even know what the building used to be until they step inside. “When people walk in, they’re met with a full-floor mural that makes it feel like you’re standing inside a record store window looking out at 1950s Cleveland,” Nischt said. “There are artifacts hanging everywhere — Moondog Ball tickets, vintage posters, old guitars — and upstairs, even our offices have Klutch-branded record sleeves on the walls. Wherever we could lean into the theme, we did.” So far, reactions from both customers and culture buffs have been overwhelmingly positive. “We’ve had people from other cannabis companies stop in and tell us it’s one of the nicest stores they’ve seen,” Nischt said. “And we’re lucky. It’s a dense neighborhood, with more foot traffic than most folks expect. People come in before concerts or after grabbing dinner. It’s really special to be able to share the space with so many people.” More than a storefront The Cleveland location is just one note in Klutch’s expanding symphony. With Ohio’s cannabis program still in flux and operating under a patchwork of medical and partial adult-use rules, retail buildouts aren’t simple. “Our state’s program is in a transition period, but Klutch always does best when we focus on ourselves,” Nischt said. “We are taking this time to build out infrastructure, launch new brands and products, and expand our fleet of retail licenses. This month we’ll be opening a new store near MGM Northfield Park, and more stores are on the way. We don’t like to rest on our laurels.” Still, no matter how many dispensaries Klutch opens, the Cleveland flagship likely will remain the company’s soul. What started as a tribute to the city’s role in shaping American music is now playing a role in shaping cannabis culture. At a time when retail struggles to reinvent itself, Klutch proves brick-and-mortar can still feel magical. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Branded Legacy Inc. (OTC: BLEG) is undergoing a strategic merger to position itself for growth in the addiction therapeutics sector. The existing management team has resigned, and Jeffery Robison has been appointed Interim CEO to lead the company through the transition and negotiations for a major merger with an innovative addiction therapeutics company. This target company has developed advanced technology, including an all-in-one intranasal device for Naloxone administration, and other innovative platforms for nasal drug delivery, including vaccines and other medications. The merger is expected to integrate an experienced management team with expertise in addiction therapeutics, and the combined entity projects revenue of $40 million in its first year. The merger aims to capitalize on the rapidly expanding addiction treatment and naloxone markets, diversifying Branded Legacy’s portfolio with cost-effective solutions. < Back Branded Legacy Leadership Team Resigns Ahead of Planned Merger Jul 15, 2025 Source: Mg Magazine Newswire MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *ORLANDO, Fla.* — David Oswald, Philip White, and the rest of the existing management team at Branded Legacy Inc. resigned ahead of a strategic merger aimed at positioning the company for growth in the burgeoning addiction therapeutics sector. Branded Legacy Inc. (OTC: BLEG) is a diversified holding company focused on plant-based functional wellness and the rapidly expanding cannabis beverage sector. Jeffery Robison has been appointed Interim CEO to guide the company through this transitional period. In his role, Mr. Robison is leading negotiations for a major merger with an innovative addiction therapeutics company. A Letter of Intent (LOI) has been submitted and is expected to be executed this week, with full execution anticipated by week’s end. The merger is projected to close within the next two weeks, subject to final agreements and regulatory approvals. Addictions represent a globally increasing health crisis, with current treatments often proving ineffective, expensive, and inaccessible to many patients. The target company has developed advanced technology and assembled leading experts to address this challenge, with a focus on Naloxone, which is leading the intranasal device market for opioid overdose reversal. The target company is revolutionizing intranasal drug delivery by redesigning naloxone administration as an all-in-one device that reduces costs while overcoming limitations of existing market products. Their patented all-in-one device simplifies what is currently a complex, multi-part system, thereby lowering operational complexity and enhancing dose precision for improved treatment consistency, simplified prescribing, and easier usage. Beyond naloxone, the target company’s innovative platform enables nasal administration of compounds that conventional intranasal devices cannot reliably deliver due to physical, chemical, or manufacturing constraints, opening up new treatment options. A second device invention allows for mixing solutions with lyophilized powder, expanding into additional markets such as vaccines and other medications that were previously inaccessible. This intranasal delivery approach facilitates quicker pandemic responses, enables self-use vaccination, and supports underserved, hard-to-reach regions globally. For many medications requiring continuous refrigeration—the “cold chain”—this point-of-care reconstitution capability significantly streamlines delivery logistics. As part of its strategy, the target company is targeting other cold chain-dependent medications to further broaden its impact in global health solutions. This merger will integrate a highly accomplished and reputable management team with extensive expertise in addiction therapeutics and advanced medicine delivery systems. Key members include a professor holding a PhD, renowned for expertise in health research methods, evidence synthesis, and impact, who has led groundbreaking clinical trials, including high-profile studies on drug effectiveness for COVID-19 and preventive therapeutics, contributing to global health advancements with a focus on rigorous evidence-based medicine; a biostatistician and doctor, a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years in data science and AI, who has founded multiple health technology companies leading to successful exits, specializing in innovative clinical trial designs, Bayesian statistics, meta-analysis, and complex evidence synthesis; and the President & CEO, a pharmacist and clinical research coordinator with a strong background in pharmaceutical sciences, clinical development, and coordinating research efforts to advance therapeutic solutions. The incoming team’s innovations emphasize cost-effective solutions that enhance accessibility and efficiency in treatment delivery, aligning with Branded Legacy’s vision for transformative growth. The combined entity projects revenue of $40 million in its first year, driven by these cutting-edge technologies and market expansions. “The addiction therapeutics industry represents a dynamic and rapidly expanding market, poised for substantial advancement,” said Robison. “According to recent industry reports, the global addiction treatment market was valued at approximately $9 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach over $16.7 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 6.6%. Additionally, the global naloxone market was valued at approximately $1.07 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $2.48 billion by 2032.

Massachusetts lawmakers have advanced two bills: one to expand the medical cannabis program by including PTSD and opioid use disorder as qualifying conditions, and another to provide employment protections for marijuana consumers by barring employers from discriminating based on THC metabolites unless impairment is reasonably suspected. This comes as the state's attorney general proposes initiatives to roll back adult-use marijuana legalization, even as sales have surpassed $8 billion. Additionally, regulators are working to finalize rules for cannabis consumption lounges, and the Cannabis Control Commission has launched a platform to help people find jobs in the industry. < Back Massachusetts Moves to Protect Your Job and Expand Medical Access Sep 3, 2025 Source: Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Massachusetts lawmakers are making moves that should have every Bay State toker breathing a bit easier. A legislative committee just gave the thumbs-up to two major bills: one that stops bosses from firing or refusing to hire someone just because they have THC in their system, and another that significantly grows the medical marijuana program. The medical expansion would add PTSD and opioid use disorder to the list of qualifying conditions and make it much simpler for veterans to get their medicine. While there’s some background noise about a potential 2026 ballot initiative to roll back recreational sales, the state is also moving forward with plans for social consumption lounges and job-matching platforms for the industry. This is a massive win for the community because it finally treats cannabis use like the normal, after-work activity it is. Protecting employees from outdated drug tests means you don’t have to choose between your career and your preferred way to unwind. It’s all about ensuring that legal access actually comes with the freedom to participate in society without being penalized. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Everything about Sonoma Coma: effects, typical THC, lineage, and terpenes — plus hands-on product reviews and bud photos from Toker's Guide's DMV experts. < Back Sonoma Coma Strain Review Type Sativa THC % 18% Dominant Terpene Energy Limonene Euphoric, Happy Overview Sonoma Coma is an award-winning, energizing sativa that first gained fame in Sonoma County, California. It rose to prominence after winning 1st Place Sativa at the 2012 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in Los Angeles, solidified by its reputation for delivering a vibrant, uplifting experience. Effects Sonoma Coma is a high-energy sativa that provides an immediate invasion of heady, cerebral effects, making it ideal for activities requiring bursts of creativity, euphoria, and mental clarity. Despite its name, this strain is the opposite of sedating and is best suited for daytime use when a functional yet powerful high is desired. Its terpene profile is led by terpinolene, which enhances its uplifting nature and adds woody and floral notes; myrcene, which provides an underlying earthy scent and aids in cannabinoid absorption; and pinene, which contributes a sharp forest-like accent while supporting mental clarity. These characteristics make Sonoma Coma an effective remedy for those dealing with a diminished appetite or "the munchies," while its vibrant, award-winning genetics provide a sophisticated experience for managing low energy and creative blocks. Positive Effects Side Effects Common Uses Relaxed 35% Happy 40% Euphoric 55% Uplifted 40% Talkative 0% Creative 0% Energetic 35% Focused 0% Giggly 0% Tingly 0% Hungry 0% Sleepy 0% stress, pain, depression, anxiety, headache, fatigue Dry Mouth 50% Dry Eyes 25% Dizzy 10% Paranoid 10% Anxious 0% Hungry 0% Tingly 0% Sleepy 0% Appearance The strain is characterized by tight, electric green buds that are heavily coated in a thick layer of crystalline trichomes. These resinous glands give the flower a distinctive sparkle, especially when viewed under direct light. Aroma Sonoma Coma features a complex and pungent aromatic profile. It primarily smells of sweet tropical fruits, which are balanced by deep, spiced, and woody undertones, creating a sophisticated olfactory experience. Flavor The flavor mirrors its aroma, offering a smooth and mellow smoking or vaping experience. Users typically note a blend of tropical sweetness followed by a lingering earthy and spicy finish on the exhale. Lineage The exact genetic lineage of Sonoma Coma remains a closely guarded secret by its original breeders. However, its growth patterns and effects clearly display a heavy sativa influence, likely involving landrace or high-energy sativa parents. Terpene Profile - Terpinolene: Contributes to the woody and floral notes while enhancing the uplifting effects. - Myrcene: Provides the underlying earthy scent and aids in the absorption of other cannabinoids. - Pinene: Adds a sharp, forest-like accent and may help with mental clarity.Effects True to its sativa heritage, this strain provides an immediate "invasion" of heady, cerebral effects. It is highly valued for producing bursts of creativity, euphoria, and high energy. Notably, it is also known to significantly stimulate appetite, making it an effective remedy for those dealing with a lack of hunger or "the munchies." Cultivation Preferences Sonoma Coma is known to be a relatively tall grower, consistent with sativa morphology. - Flowering Time: Typically ranges from 9 to 11 weeks. - Yield: Moderate to high, depending on the environment. - Climate: Prefers a warm, sunny, Mediterranean-style climate to thrive and reach its full resin potential.Origin This cultivar originated in Sonoma County, California, within the famous "Emerald Triangle" region known for world-class cannabis cultivation. Seed Suppliers Authentic seeds for Sonoma Coma can be difficult to find due to its guarded genetics, but various breeders and seed banks occasionally offer stabilized versions or crosses, including places like Sonoma Seeds or specialized California-based nurseries. Conclusion Sonoma Coma is a premier choice for sativa enthusiasts seeking a functional yet powerful high. Despite its name, it is the opposite of sedating, offering a sparkling aesthetic and a complex flavor profile that makes it a standout for daytime use and creative endeavors. Previous Next

Federal Agency Says It Halted Marijuana Cultivation Contract Following Cost-Cutting Order From Trump’s DOGE < Back DOGE Budget Cuts Hit NIDA’s Longtime Research Weed Supplier at Ole Miss Jul 21, 2025 Source: Ben Adlin Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The federal government is finally shaking up its old-school cannabis research monopoly. Following a cost-cutting directive from the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has stopped placing new orders for research marijuana from the University of Mississippi. For decades, "Ole Miss" was the only game in town, often criticized by the community for producing low-quality flower that didn't match what’s actually on dispensary shelves. NIDA says they have enough inventory to last through 2025, and other DEA-approved private growers are ready to step up. While some worry this could stall research, many in the industry see it as a win. Moving away from a single, government-subsidized supplier means researchers can finally access pharmaceutical-grade materials that actually reflect real-world cannabis. For everyday tokers, this matters because better research leads to better products and smarter laws. Ending the monopoly is a huge step toward treating cannabis like the sophisticated medicine it is, rather than a government science project. If we want real progress on rescheduling and safety, we need the best data possible. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.
