tasting/testing ep. 12 “Blackberry lemon lime spritzer” The CQ “Blackberry lemon lime spritzer” was one of the tastier cannabis beverages I’ve tried so far, and it didn’t disappoint.   I purchased this in my local dispensary for $7. The top of the can is funny because this is supposed to be resealable, so that a […]

Tasting/Testing Ep. 11 Super Sour Space Heads I recently tested out these “Super Sour Space Heads” which are labeled at 30 mg CBD and 30 mg D9-THC per piece (from hemp). I don’t know if my thoughts will all fit into one post, but here it goes. These came from a “non-dispensary outlet” in Indiana,

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 9 Aging of cannabis Ever wonder how much it matters if you leave your weed sitting in the sun for a while?…   We continue to enjoy the “Chef’s Kiss” flower from @Ocean Breeze Cultivators. The convenience of rolling quick joints from the shake gives unexpected pleasure.   Most readers know that

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 3 “Choice CBD Gummies” Recently, I noticed this bottle of “Choice CBD Gummies” on my father’s kitchen counter. He takes one per day, but doesn’t remember why. The bottle suggests: “Eat one to two gummies per day, or as needed.” Each gummy is supposed to contain 10 mg CBD. People take CBD for

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 7 Dixie Elixir “Berry Lemonade” Don’t know why this elixir from the Rockies was whistling dixie… When I was in Denver and recently checked out JARS Cannabis downtown, I grabbed a Dixie Elixir, their beverage line. Mostly, I was just curious, but I also had variance in the back of my mind.

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 6 “Papaya Cake” flower from JARS, Denver I sure did savor these tasty Denver nuggets!   During a recent trip to Denver, we visited JARS Cannabis, a vertically-integrated MSO based in MI, with outlets in AZ and CO.   The store had two or three glass counters distributed about the floor that

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 5 “Red Devil Knockout Gummies” The clerk said they were the best-selling gummies in the store, with “all the kinds of THC.” The “4000 mg” emblazoned at the top of the label explained why they sell – but not what compounds they contain.   The store was “DJ’s Smoke Shop” in St.

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 4 “Banana Cake” flower from Hidden Hemlock Farms It doesn’t taste that much like bananas, or cake, but the Banana Cake flower I got from Hidden Hemlock is a great example of their solid offerings. I’ve tried several strains from Hidden Hemlock in the past couple of months, and this was representative

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 10 Jason Reposa’s Hemp This hemp trim did not age well in Jason Reposa’s garage, and readers guessed about the extent of Total CBD loss… The years aren’t kind to cannabis flower. Over long periods of time, it dries out, and terpenes evaporate. Microorganisms have time to proliferate, and reactions with oxygen

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 8 Ocean Breeze Cannabis “Chef’s Kiss” Flower We like the “seaweed” pun on the box, and our testing urge couldn’t resist two products from the same batch of flower…   Today we discuss the “Chef’s Kiss” flower from Ocean Breeze. We’ve enjoyed unprocessed eighths of their flower previously, but this was our
