Tasting and Testing

Tasting/Testing Journal, Ep. 14 “Alien Mints (Alien Cookies X Kush Mints 11)” Strane Holistic Industries Alien Mints (Alien Cookies X Kush Mints 11) Package date 3/7/25 I had a friend pick up some pre-rolled joints for me while I didn’t have a valid state ID, and they brought me two packs of these. Strane is […]

Tasting/Testing Ep.13 “Sour Grape Soda” The Squared “Sour Grape Soda” was tasty and sweet, but didn’t actually contain much THC. This drink claims 5 mg THC from hemp, and thus is not sold from a state-regulated “dispensary”. It came from a beer store on Mass Ave. This satisfying grape soda brought me back to my

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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
