Cannabis  REVIEWS 

Mountain High is expanding its lineup with Black Cherry, a new release that continues the brand’s tradition of thoughtful flavor, balanced effects, and an easygoing drinking experience suitable for almost any occasion. Available through the brand’s new website and at hundreds of retailers across Virginia, Black Cherry arrives with high expectations — and meets them gracefully...

Koosh The Magic Dragon (KTMD) feels like the cannabis world’s best-kept secret — a strain that hasn’t yet gone mainstream but already has that quiet “you had to be there” reputation. Bred by Byline, this relatively new genetic is still circulating mostly through craft grower networks rather than dominating every dispensary shelf. That limited exposure gives it a charming underground mystique, like a dragon that only reveals itself to those worthy of its smoke...

This classic hemp strain is grown sustainably in Virginia, with piney, hazy aromas and relaxing yet clear-headed effects (~19% CBD, <0.3% THC). It's currently available in a 5-pack of premium 0.75g pre-rolls (total 3.75g). Designed for relaxing tension/stress release with heightened focus and mental clarity, this is one high-end, non-intoxicating option to keep in your stash...

Mountain High’s signature 12-ounce can has always been a study in restraint—clean lines, understated typography, and a palette that whispers “premium” rather than shouts “party.” Blackberry Lime inherits the same elegant minimalism: no garish graphics, no cartoon fruit explosions, just a sleek vessel that looks equally at home on a craft-beer shelf or a minimalist countertop.

These little chewy bursts of flavor are the definition of understated elegance in the hemp world. The strawberry flavor is soft and genuine—never cloying—and the tiny 1mg THC dose is just enough to take the edge off without ever crossing into anything noticeable. I really enjoy take one mid-morning or early afternoon, and it quietly smooths out the background noise of the day: less shoulder tightness, less racing thoughts, more even breathing...

I recently drove into charming Old Town Leesburg to visit District Hemp Botanicals, and it was a refreshing experience from the moment I stepped inside. The store exudes breezy French Country vibes—open, well-appointed, and welcoming, like a breath of fresh air amid Magnolia Farms charm...

These pre-rolls are made from organically-grown, sun-grown hemp flower in Virginia greenhouses, certified by Virginia's Finest™ program. Each pack includes uplifting strains with energizing effects and floral/earthy notes...

Every time I bite into one of these, it feels like someone took a perfect blood orange and decided to make it functional. The flavor is bright and authentic, no fake citrus notes—just real, juicy brightness that makes dosing feel like a treat rather than medicine. The 1:1 ratio is beautifully tuned: enough THC to spark a gentle wave of contentment and sociability, but the matching CBD keeps the edges soft so I never tip into overthinking or unease.

These little clusters are sneaky fast—within 20–25 minutes I can feel the shift, which is rare for edibles. The texture is playful, almost like a chewy candy that melts into a pleasant warmth. The 3:1 THC:CBD ratio gives a noticeable body high that eases soreness and tension, while the lighter CBD layer keeps my head clear enough to stay engaged in whatever I’m doing...

This seltzer is dangerously easy to drink. The berry flavor is clean and bright, with no hemp funk hiding underneath—just crisp carbonation and a hint of sweetness that feels more like a premium soda than a functional drink. The cannabinoid blend hits fast, usually within 10–15 minutes, delivering a light, airy lift that makes everything feel a little more open and relaxed...

Green Monke nailed the nostalgia factor here—these taste like the sodas I grew up with, but with a modern twist. The carbonation is lively, the flavors are bold yet clean, and the 2mg THC dose is perfectly calibrated for a micro-buzz that enhances rather than overtakes. I usually grab one when I’m in the mood for something fizzy but don’t want alcohol or a heavy edible...

I always enjoy having alternatives to vaping and smoking when I'm on the go. I have quite the high tolerance so often I rely on edibles...

This afternoon I had the grand pleasure of not getting high, but rather, simply relaxing the afternoon away in a state of clear-headed...

As I set out to review the Karma Space Brownie from Flowerz, I chose to take a different path with this product than my flower reviews....

For this CBD flower review, it only seemed fitting to take an afternoon bike ride and enjoy the rare cool air that is unique for August...
