​ Strain : Blue Cookies Dispensary: Cannabist - Carytown, VA Market: VA Medical Cannabis ​ Overall Rating: 8/10 ​Lean: Indica Dominant Hybrid Initial Thoughts Dealing with low THC percentages has been a problem in the VA medical program for as long as I have been a patient. I’m coming up on my renewal next month, and after almost a year I am finally seeing flower that consistently tests over 20%+. (Check out Veriheal if you are coming up on your renewal or if you are interested in getting a medical card.) Blue Cookies phenotypes normally average a high THC content but this batch in particular was cultivated by gLeaf and is testing at 29.26% THC. Its aroma and effects are super potent, so take your time enjoying this strain, just as you would with a delicious cookie 🍪. This batch of Blue Cookies is likely to overwhelm a novice user so if you are just starting out I’d recommend picking up something a little more mild. Appearance Visually attractive buds that range in green color. The trichomes leave a yellow layer covering the buds and they camouflage the light orange pistils. Structure Long, fluffy, sizable buds. Status Curing. Aroma Skunky and Cheesy. It has a very potent smell immediately after opening the lid. Flavor Earthy with a warm exhale of blueberry that left my mouth watering. Lineage The offspring of Blueberry and Girl Scout Cookies. The exact ratio is up to debate but I would say around 80/20 favoring indica. Effects After just a few tokes, I could tell my headspace was starting to get spacey. Seconds started to feel like minutes and everything felt like it was happening in slow motion. I think by the time I finished up my joint, my eyelids were shut from how heavy they had gotten. I continued to battle them, fighting to try and keep them open while cleaning up and heading inside. I noticed my limbs started to get heavy and they felt like they had their own gravitational pull straight into the ground. This strain left me stoned with its very heavy body high. Conclusion This batch of Blue Cookies was the strongest of all the THC percentages from gLeafs Platinum pricing line, and some of the most potent flower I’ve smoked in a while. Even though they were not perfect, this strain is hard to pass up on if you are an experienced user. It’s strong and its potency is guaranteed to get the job done. I’ve been impressed with how much progress gLeaf has made in the quality of recent batches they have cultivated. It makes me excited for rumors I’ve been hearing from the budtenders about gLeaf offering a premium level that will be above the platinum tier that is currently available. But for now, be sure to be on the lookout for this batch of Blue Cookies at Cannabist in Carytown next time you stop in. Don’t forget to mention Toker’s Guide sent you!

​ Strain : Florida Strawberries Dispensary: Cannabist - Carytown, VA Market: VA Medical Cannabis ​ Overall Rating: 8.2/10 ​Lean: Indica Dominant Hybrid Initial Thoughts The slew of flower that gLeaf dropped recently has caught my attention because of the high THC content and high terpene percentages that each batch has been testing at. I was speaking with the budtenders at Cannabist in Carytown and they let me know there are actually two batches of Florida Strawberries in circulation and I got the more potent one! It’s always fun opening up the jar to reveal one ginormous nug - I almost want to leave it untouched so it can be preserved in all its beauty. Appearance Tiny white trichomes twinkle and sparkle as the light catches it. I ended up breaking up the bigger cola to snap a few more pictures of the buds and I noticed some strawberry orange colored pistils when opening up and exposing the inside layers. Structure My batch consisted of one large nug that fit quite snug into the container. This is the biggest bud I have received from the program to date. Status Fresh, curing bud. I smoked it 10 days after the package date. Hopefully, this is a good sign things are starting to speed up with the BoP’s approval process. Aroma Sweet notes of berry and citrus. Flavor I wanted this to taste like strawberries so badly - it did not. However, the taste was fresh and pleasant. It tasted like warm berries and left an aftertaste I didn’t want to depart from my palate. Lineage Originally bred by Jungle Boys, Florida Strawberries is a slightly indica-leaning cross of Strawberry Shortcake and TK Bx1. Effects The effects on this batch of Florida Strawberries were less indica-leaning than I anticipated. It was a relaxing cerebral experience that left my mind totally chilled out, but I still felt some energy in my body and I wasn't drowsy at all. Conclusion I’m a big fan of this batch of Florida Strawberries that gLeaf just released in their most recent flower drop. Simultaneously, they also altered the pricing on their tiers, hopefully making their flower accessible to more people. Be sure to stop into Cannabist in Carytown before this batch of Florida Strawberries sells out because I have a feeling it won’t last long. Make sure you let them know you heard about it on Toker’s Guide!
