PRODUCER: OrganigramnPOTENCY: SatisfyingnTHC: 15.00 - 20.00% / CBD: 00.15%nPLANT TYPE: Indica DominantnTERPENES: Myrcene, Carophyllene, PinenenPROVINCE: New BrunswicknMETHOD: Indoor, 3-tier, strain-specific & data-driven
Personal Notes:
Buds are very dry and dense
Evidence of some terpenes
One nug breaks up well
After grinding there is a hint of sweet aroma
Burns clean; woody with subtle notes of spice and sweetness
After the first decent haul it's a smooth, not-too-overwhelming high
Summer is here 'cause I'm on a beach! Sure, it's Lake Ontario and there's a nuclear power plant in the background, but I've backed Flicker Buds, drinking water, and snacks. Trailblazer is known as one of the best value brands in the country and it creeps up lightly, but isn't intense. I recommend both the brand, and Lake Ontario, for a satisfying dip.

A bit of a body buzz
This is an easy smoke, clean; perfect for another Ontario day at the beach. I burn down a joint pretty quickly and within 20 minutes I am definitely lifted. I had my feet in the sand for what I assumed was a long time and they were getting kind of numb and tingly.

It's a sunny, breezy morning and i'm heading for a jog through the forest. I got my playlist loaded, I've stretched a litt,e and I take a quick hit of Granddaddy Purple to move me along. Some people like their electrolytes. I prefer cannabinoids when I'm running through the jungle. The trail is amazing, the light shining thorugh the trees is fantastic and I'm feeling like I could be at this all day. Granddaddy Purple for the win.

Personal Notes:
Tastes like hibiscus tea carbonated soda
I garnished it with a cucumber wedge, damn refreshing
One can of soda has no effect on me. Four, on the other hand...
Sunday, Father's Day. It's a gorgeous day to be outside on the deck with ribs cooking away in the smoker. My dad is spending the day with us and he's drinking a Chilean red and I'm sippin' on my second Tweed's Houndstooth & Soda garnished with a fat cucumber wedge. It has a distinct flavour that makes me think of a carbonated lime-flavoured hibiscus tea. It's great to be chillin' with my pop and now I get a chance to enjoy cannabis in front of him without it being awkward. By the time I've cracked open my fourth Houndstooth, he's convinced me to give him one of my homegrown cannabis plants.
Houseplant
This soda water from Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg's Houseplant is grapefruit flavoured and infused with sativa-dominant THC distillate.

Personal Notes:
Strong grapefruit scent, standard soda taste
No cannabis flavour
Requires more than one serving for the average cannabis consumer to feel any effects
Great option for lounging outside on a patio or in a picnic setting
Consider a delicious garnish like watermelon
Lounging outside at a picnic with friends, I can't help but think that the Houseplant, made by a company owned by Seth Rogen, has me adopting the laugh of the Knocked Up star. Are my friends that funny or is Houseplant that good? Let's just say I'm good for another round. Well done.

Personal Notes:
Very easy to pack and utilize for almost any occasion
No taste or smell of cannabis
For the inexperienced, a full packet should be consumed with a large quantity of liquid or use half a portion every 30 minutes or longer
8 minutes = toes tingling
15 minutes = feeling a little drowsy
20 minutes = very elevated
The Veryvell drops are so easy to mix with water, they're perfect for trips or basically anything that you think could be improved by some cannabis. I mix a few drops in a 350ml bottle of water and feel very happy about the future of weed.

Full dose taken
Tingly toes and heavy shoulders within the first 15 minutes
Trails/tracers when eyes were closed within 20 minutes
Fully levitated by 30 minutes
The parks have opened and I finally get to catch up in person with a few friends. As a result of COVID-times, passing around a doobie during a pandemic is a terrible idea, so everyone had their own pack of Aurora Soft Chews. Within 10 minutes of eating them all I have a mild body buzz and my shoulders are a little heavy.

Bhang
Sustainably-sourced cacao and powered by Indiva. These bars combine rich 48% cocoa and THC and are scored into four pieces. The chocolate tastes good adn while I like a THC:CBD mix, the THC also does quite well on its own, thank you very much.

Consumed the whole bar at once

25 minutes and I ahve a very mellow and relaxing body buzz
The chocolate isn't too sweet, I'm happy. Even for me, this was a hard assignment. This was a lot of herb. I gobbled down the whole bar and relaxed into a nice even buzz. For once, all my cannabis was completed. Now that I was stoned and my work was over, it was time to chill.
