An indica-heavy hybrid cross of famed citrus-rich sativa Mimosa and the ever potent King's Kush, this is King's Juice grown by DC craft medical cultivators Alt Sol and available at Takoma Wellness Center DC medical marijuana dispensary. Fit for the palate of a King who's really into their tropical fruits, this one can make your mouth start watering at first whiff. As huge fans of the citrusy mimosa flavor, but not always wanting the strong sativa vibes that can accompany it (at night for example), this batch quickly moved to the front of the indica side of my stash box. It even played a bit of a trick on my mind at first, with my brain attempting to automatically connect the flavor profile to an energetic headspace. Of course, that effort failed fantastically while I was being overtaken with a wave of care-free relaxation instead. You most definitely want to experience the flavors offered by what we've come to affectionately call "The Juice" while toking on a joint. The richness of the sweet citrus orange mixed with tropical fruit and backed by earthy kush undertones makes for a delectably smooth toke - one that becomes epically more intoxicating with each exhale. To fill up your cup, or bowl as the case may be, with some of this chronically fruity King's Juice just grab your medical marijuana card and head to Takoma Wellness Center ASAP.

Well would you just look at this freaking gorgeous batch of Black Runtz now available from DC recreational (i-71) weed delivery service, The Gift Givers (who have been bringing the 🔥 lately btw)! It's hands down the best batch of Runtz I've ever seen. Calling all connoisseurs! Imagine if you put some quarters into a candy vending machine expecting Runtz candy to fall out and out popped this cannabis specimen. That's pretty much the elation I felt when I pulled this out of the pack. A hyrbid cross of Zkillez and Gelato that's quite balanced with a giant, euphoric body buzz, Runtz has other phenotypes that go by various colors of their predominant coloration. In this case, the darkest colored offspring were interbred to achieve near black purple hues and the nuances in aroma and flavor that come along with them. The tanginess of the Runtz flavor profile was definitely expressed here. The aroma is rich and chocolatey with accents of cream, mint, and a touch of fruit punch. If you experiment by moving the jar toward and away from your nose the profile changes is sweetness and fruitiness. In the bong - the only way I've hit this so far - the flavor is extremely robust and rich with the same sweet chocolate as the aroma, but this time surprising with some tartness as well. To experience this phenomenal bouquet and rich flavor along with one of the clearest most balanced high's around, check out this Black Runtz being gifted by The Gift Givers ASAP.

In honor of all the mobster movie stars that have died recently including James Caan (The Godfather), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), and Tony Sirico (The Sopranos) we're reviewing this Italian Ice from DC recreational (i-71) storefront, Green Light DC. Yeah, so one of those guys isn't Italian, but he did play in two Godfathers so that's just gonna have to be ok, capeesh? An indica dominant hybrid cross of Gelato 45 and Forbidden fruit that runs about 60/40, this batch is one that would make any gangster nice and relaxed after a long day earning. But, not too relaxed. You gotta stay focused and not slip up so you can keep kicking upstairs to the big guy, ya know? Luckily, no couch lock here, just a pleasant and full body buzz potent enough for even the fattest fat cats. With a creamy, skunky aroma and flavor much like a Gelato, but even sweeter and with a touch of fruitiness, you'll want to roll this one up to partake. It's still supple and sticky, but some curing and oxidation have happened which I think makes it perfect for the joint or even cannagar. Hey, what could be better than a nice, tasty stogie of dank after some gabagool, am I right? So make your rounds, make some clams, hell even make your book for the weekend, but then make your way to the Green Light storefront on Georgia Avenue and, bada bing bada boom, grab some of this Italian Ice for your own stash.

Sometimes it's hard to express to people just how trich'd out a batch of bud is. When I opened the jar of this Tropicanna Pie from DC recreational (i-71) storefront Top Level DC, for example, I exclaimed, "Oh yeah! Now that's SEXY!" Let's just say that didn't go over well with the Mrs. 🤦‍♂️. But, the takeaway for those tokers in the audience is that this is some fantastic cheebah that you should make moves to obtain quickly before it's gone. I love it for its funky, funky nose and flavor. It's so hard to place what it is specifically, but it's something like wheat pie crust meets spicy orange marmalade. There are certainly skunky notes that come out in the aftertaste, and the citrus aspect is very light. Maybe an orange gingersnap? When I left the jar open for a minute there was a sweeter creaminess that I came back to as well. What a unique and delightful experience for the whole palate! Likely a cross of sativa-leaning Tropicanna ((Pineapple x Kali Mist) x Northern Lights) and Cherry Pie (Grandaddy Purple x Durban Poison) this runs slightly indica dominant but has relatively balanced effects. In fact, I found it to be a well-rounded hybrid that allowed me to function well in the afternoon and evening even though I was sporting an awesome full-body and head high. The corners of my mouth were definitely tilted up all afternoon and when I finally got around to rolling a joint of her after dinner she was the perfect dessert and night cap wrapped in one. To grab some of this gorgeous Tropicanna Pie for yourself just zoom over to storefront Top Level DC today (no medical card required). Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

If you're not familiar with the Metropolitan Art and Sculpture Collaboration, or MASC for short, they're a DC recreational (i-71) storefront where you can purchase works of art and receive amazing cannabis gifts. In the case of our most recent gifting experience with them, we were handed this mega fruit forward Rock Creek Fruit Punch cultivated by a crew named "Terp Lords". We're not sure how local this is given DC's own Rock Creek, but it seemed pretty fresh and the nose was so funky we just had to burn it down right away. 😤 Typically a cross of Skunk, Haze, and Northern Lights, Fruit Punch runs sativa dominant at something like 70/30. However, there's a good chance that what's making this batch entirely purple is the breeding of Tropicana Cookies into the mix. Maybe that's what makes it "Rock Creek". Whatever the lineage, consensus among the Toker Team is that we agree with the sativa stance - it's energetic and hits the dome in the same way that many great sativas would. With an aroma and flavor that is like a bowl full of citrus fruits, it's a whole lot like Tropicana Cookies, but there's definitely something adding sugary, berry notes as well. Even when I picked up the empty mylar (we burned this whole thing pretty fast) and took a whiff the funky fruity aroma was still so strong it was like the buds never left. Rip this in the bong to be completely engulfed in this olfactory fruit bowl and you'll find yourself with a creative head high that lasts for hours. So check out DC storefront MASC today and grab a pack of this Rock Creek Fruit Punch for your own collection. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

Pinkman Goo has been noted by other online cannabis gurus as having a unique genetic mutation whereby resinous droplets develop on the flowers as they grow. Adding up to 4% THC this mutation is definitely one that we are a fan of. Undoubtedly, it helps this batch live up to the "goo" in its name with some serious stickiness. You can currently find it at DC recreational (i-71) delivery service, Kali Kraves and if you pick some of this up just be sure not to touch things like paper, pets, feather, etc. after touching it. Otherwise, you may be subject to what seems like a modern finger-only version of being tarred and feathered. 😱 With an extremely skunky aroma and some floral notes mixed in, this bud is highly pungent and we're glad it comes in such nice packaging. While it would fall into the "cured" category, the texture is still supple and pliable making for a smooth toke and "skunked out" flavor. Obviously grown by some excellent exotic cultivators, the trichomes are tremendously abundant and the coloration is a mix of purple, neon green, and fiery orange. Likely the cross of Grandaddy Purple, Grape Ape, and Northern Lights #5, this Indica dominant strain has the ability to immediately induce a state of calm and relaxation while addressing ailments of all sorts. It's also great for nighttime use and has been reported to be a helpful sleeping tool as well. I can say that its ability to act as a tranquilizer cannot be overstated, much like its ability to act like super glue or pine sap in terms of stickiness. To get your "Goo" on just hit up Kali Kraves and schedule your delivery ASAP. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

As a little kid I used to love going to the pool and starting big water gun fights. In the course of those fights there was one water gun that became known as the one to have on your side - the Super Soaker. Far superior to nearly any other water gun of the time, these things were more like water cannons they were so powerful. Fast forward a few years (or decades) and now we have weed by the same name available from DC recreational (i-71) storefront, Elevated Lounge. With tremendous pungency and potency it must be said that the name is highly fitting. Much like the white plastic rifles with neon green cylindrical water tanks on the top, these buds are neon, white, and nearly capable of taking your head clean off. Pack them in the bong for the most bang and before you know it you'll think someone super soaked your whole house in their mega skunky aroma. A cross of Gushers, Gorilla Cookies, and OG Kush, this indica-dominant hybrid is very quick to enforce its will upon you. Full of body tingles and a relaxing, all encompassing buzz, it's surprisingly more balanced than other indica options you'll find out there. In other words, you can enjoy these heavy indica effects sitting up right and with your eyes open. As the long lasting high begins to fade, re-invigorate it by simply taking another Super Soaker blast to the head - but not the water gun kind (those hurt at close range). So head over to Elevated Lounge today and you can grab some Super Soaker for your own "arsenal". Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

If you've been thinking about getting your DC medical cannabis card or recommendation I have two good reasons why now is a great time to go ahead and file your application. First, they've just implemented self-certification for 21+ in the DC medical marijuana program. It's literally never been easier to get registered for medical here and don't forget that DC has full reciprocity for other state programs as well. Second, is this phenomenal batch of Panama Red cultivated by DC craft cannabis wizards, Alternative Solutions (Alt Sol) and available at Takoma Wellness Center DC medical dispensary. If you get going on your card now I bet you'll get it in time to grab some of this epic harvest! A landrace sativa hailing from central America that has a long standing reputation for being extremely potent, this particular cut of Panama Red is one of my all-time favorite sativa specimens. It's got an overwhelming, pungent aroma that's full of skunk and coffee grounds which passes along perfectly to the flavor, but still ends up being a smooth toke. It's truly some spectacular smoke people! In terms of effects, she's not for the faint of heart or those new to cannabis, especially of the sativa variety. That's because it can produce intensely stimulating effects that come with a palpable rush of euphoria all around your body - a feeling that can easily become too intense for those without tolerance. It also seems to shake the creative center of your brain into a gleeful state and then wield it to help you accomplish entire to-do lists. Of course, it's also social in nature, helping to remove inhibitions and share notes from your newfound state of awesomeness with anyone you choose. With exceptional stickiness as a standard, and not just because of how fresh they are, these super frosty and heavily trichome laden buds are great in the bong, but can cause some difficulties when rolling joints. The flower vape, if you've got one, also creates a delectable experience given the robust, mouthwatering flavor and heady buzz-inducing vapors. So if you're a sativa head looking for something with some serious muscle that's also mega palate pleasing then grab some of this batch of Alt. Sol. Panama Red from Takoma Wellness Center before it's sold out. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!

This Oreo Mints (aka SinMint Cookies) from DC recreational (i-71) delivery service Exotic Organics is an indica dominant hybrid cross of Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Blue Power that's got - and I'm quoting a friend here - "a sh*tload of trichomes" covering it. Some have been known to call its effects "dazzling" which we can presume stems from the starry-eyed euphoric indica effects that it will inundate you with. 🤩 While it's a little longer in the tooth and what you might call "cured" there's no doubting it's super star caliber quality. We don't really care about fancy mylar packs, but this is one that you could justify some snazzy bag art for. Capable of bringing intensely stoning couch lock, it also may bring such a creamy flavor that it inspires you to stop by every cupboard in your kitchen on the way to bed in search of sweets. The challenge for the novice tokers will be actually making it to the kitchen, of course. However, true indica lovers will have no problem rolling this up and enjoying the cookie and cream combo on almost any evening. I personally plan on stacking some of this away for a lazy, pre-sleep vegetation session sometime soon. There's just some thing about a few bong rips of Oreoz, a sleeve of Oreo cookies (the actual cookie), a tub of ice cream, a cheesesteak sandwich, a snickers bar, a handful of ritz crackers, some left over chicken tenders, a few pickles, some pop tarts, a waffle, a bag of Fritos, and a Klondike bar that really hits the spot before bed, ya know? To ensure your own stoner moments aplenty this weekend be sure to hit up Exotic Organics ASAP and grab some of these mega potent Oreo Mints for your own collection.

Listed as an "excellent evening strain" by several publications we were stoked to get to try this phenotype of Tahoe OG that goes by the alias, Grape Soda. Available on current gift deliveries via super duper speedy DC recreational delivery crew DC Dash, you should consider giving this one a try for your upcoming weekend indica needs. With fantastically heavy white trichomes throughout, these buds are clearly grown by professionals selecting from high-end genetics. This is also apparent in the way the buds seem to flake off in your hands - they're still supple versus hard as rocks like you might find at a lesser outlet. Easy to roll up and leaving a trail of heavy kief grit behind everywhere, you can reward yourself for a long hard day's work by throwing this in a paper and burning it down in the lead up to your bedtime rituals. At first, I was a bit fooled because the bag had smudged some and I couldn't make out the entire name. I thought it said Grape Sour, meaning that this might be a Sour Diesel cross. However, upon receiving the correct name (and obviously before partaking) I knew that the slightly sour, yet slightly fruity, and piney aroma was, indeed, not diesel. And with that, with this one strain, the diverse array of aromas and flavors possible in the OG universe just expanded in my mind. So hit up DC Dash to get your hands on some of this Grape Soda ASAP and enjoy a mesmerizing nighttime indica buzz as your head hits the pillow this weekend.

There's not a lot of info to go on with respect to the lineage of this Shocktane from DC recreational (i-71) delivery service, District Derp. One thing we do know is that it runs solidly on the indica side of the spectrum with a highly relaxing and totally euphoric buzz excellent for nighttime use. Another thing we know is it's highly pungent. So pungent, in fact, that you may be a bit "shocked" by its aroma at first. We're not sure if that's how it got its name, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet. With a robust skunky and pine filled nose it's much like a fine OG Kush. We recommend rolling it up to get the full immersion into this flavor profile - one that pairs excellently with a summer porch at night and a frosty cold IPA. Note that the trichome coverage is remarkable here with the buds smattered in a mix of frostiness and hyper-white. Some parts of the smaller buds are almost entirely white at the time of writing this and the current status of its cure is perfect for accentuating the flavor in my opinion. Of course, it's also in a great place to roll it up and have a loooong, smoooth toke. FYI that's probably how you'll be talking after partaking in her splendor - with a little too much drawing out of the vowel sounds because everything seems to have slooowed dooown a few notches. To get some of this shockingly powerful and pungent Shocktane for your own brain just hit up District Derp and place your delivery order today. Don't forget to tell them Toker's Guide sent you!
