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
