Too often, sinister forces press on our minds and hearts. Life deals us all blows, and daily disturbances are a reality for many. The cannabis strain LSD is an excellent remedy for stress, anxiety, lethargy, depression and PTSD. I felt energized and optimistic. Watching music videos and eating seafood pretty much proved to be Heaven on Earth, and I officially adopted Steve Harvey as a spiritual family member while watching daytime TV, while (FINALLY) sewing that clothing pile that needed mending. As a self-employed multi-tasker and Mom, it helped things flow smoothly. Paired with a cup of coffee, it was the perfect wake and bake. I will definitely keep this strain close by, and in sufficient quantity. Fire acquired from MCC Noho

As a self-employed mother of 3, I can’t stop moving, even if I wanted to. It takes one strong strain of weed to keep ME planted… Ladies and gentlemen, meet Blackwater. A pure indica, Blackwater packs a sedative-like punch rarely seen these days. I myself prefer either a true indica or true sativa instead of a hybrid, and the gene pool (and ethics) of bud are getting pretty muddled. Imagine my rapture when this sneaky flower floored me! True to its potent genetics, and rocking some SERIOUS dankness, this is not the strain to smoke if you’re trying to get discreetly stoned. One puff will have you hacking. Two puffs will have you tearing up. Three hits, and time starts to slooow… I can watch a bird in its effortless flight without losing attention. Four puffs, and… Wait, am I still on the porch?! This stuff moves quick and hits hard. I’ll be keeping Blackwater in my arsenal for those particularly stressful days. What a powerful flower! -AA Fire acquired from Downtown Highway Collective

It’s amazing how much we forget to enjoy life these days. Where did all these stressors come from? Why are we so prone to the negative and the mundane when there is so much magic in every waking moment? It’s thoughts like these that keep weed by my side; it’s a quick reminder to slow down, look around, and be amazed by everyday miracles. But Underground Meds’ Gorilla Glue #4 takes introspection to a whole new level. Beautiful, bright golden-green tones and a fresh, clean green fragrance characterize this lovely bud, and the smoke is smooth and powerful. I couldn’t help myself… Bathtime! The calming, quieting, effects had me glued to the tub. A 2 hour bath? So what? Saves water! H2O and green power combined, I felt cleansed, renewed, and ready to cozy up to a good book. For those who are interested, Gorilla Glue #4 also has some arrousing effects, so cozying up to a cute somebody might be an AWESOME idea. A peaceful read eased me into sleep this mom hasn’t seen in ages! An essential for any midnight toker. 💜 Fire acquired from Underground Meds -AA

Underground Meds’ Green Crack will make you run circles around anyone who ever called you a lazy stoner. Coated in a dreamy haze of chartreuse, this fearless sativa will empower even the coziest couch potato. With an intoxicating combination of lemon-lime and sweet fruit, its frangrance only enhances the experience. A broken nug reveals beautiful caverns of energy-packed drops, making it far the foxiest flower amongst its peers. What makes Green Crack really great isn’t just its energy; it also grants you the ability to harness your newfound power. Dishes, dinner, and job duties were completed in record time. With the kids all smiles, tasks completed, and bud still in the bowl, it was hard not to feel accomplished. I will keep this newfound friend by my side everywhere I go, with this much productivity, the possibilities are endless! Fire acquired from Underground Meds -AA

I’ll be the first to admit that I know nothing about the San Fernando Valley, except for this one time, my friend once showed me a Youtube video of this guy dressed in drag, singing about shoes, and he was REALLY excited that this… Thing was “just this guy from the valley!“ I, however, have never able to match his enthusiasm… Until now. All politics aside, SFV OG is outright gorgeous. With sparkling drops and easily pluckable buds, it’s a true bouquet, and the lavender-lemon scent will bring you to your knees. Novices be warned; she’ll have you coughing and crying tears of joy on the first toke. The high is long-lasting and chock full of giggles and gratitude. Watch that potency, though! SFV OG will have you visiting the sandman if you’re not careful! Just give it a minute in between bowls, my friend. Otherwise you’ll land in outer space. With farmers becoming the new gangster: tender-hearted and scrappy, plant-wise and street-wise, cannabis is in exciting, uncharted territory. SFV OG is proof that doing what you love pays off, even if it’s dangerous. 💚 Fire acquired from Krafted Strains Cooperative in Long Beach -AA

The first 30 minutes of my day tend to determine the path of the rest of it... If it starts in negativity, it stays there. So I make a ritual of greeting each day, fresh and new. Each day deserves its own reverence; its own beauty. Take a deep breath; and if you're wise, you're taking a deep breath of White Fire OG. This hard-hitting flower will knock your wake-and-bake into next week. One bowl seemed to burn forever, and the potency was consistent from start to finish. Speaking of start to finish, White Fire OG helped me finally get the mind to finish multiple unfinished tasks... The sign of a strain I won't be parting with anytime soon. Love weed as I may, productivity is the standard I hold the best strains to. Sativas can overwork my overly active mind... Strains like White Fire keep your head up while keeping you kicked back. What more could a girl ask for? Fire acquired from Underground Meds

While some may prefer a deep mug of coffee to start the day, my morning essentials are a steaming cup of chamomile and a bowl of Blue Dream. I love to watch the steam rise from my floral elixir while I toke on a freshly ground bowl. The aroma is unmistakable, ladden with fruit and that unidentifiable sweetness that keeps you coming back for more. Nothing beats the slow, warm feeling of wakefulness than a wake-and-bake with this seductive sativa. Say goodbye to irritability and bulls**t and hello to a bright, beautiful day full of endless possibilities. Life is just better when you’re dreaming. Fire acquired from Underground Meds

If I didn't know better, the word "Bugatti" would be italian(-ish) for "switch that shuts off giving a fu**". You can't live a rich life and worry... You also can't get any kind of inner peace with your mind running in circles. Don't be fooled by her dankness; Bugatti holds sweet mysteries beneath her dense, dusty exterior. And she's so nice, she turns the volume of that inner voice low enough so you can hear what she's trying to tell you. All YOU have to do is smoke with her. Hard-hitting and stronger with every toke, Bugatti OG is true luxury: Peace of mind and body. Oh, Bugatti! Fire acquired from Underground Meds

Rarely do you find a weed that fits the night and day niche JUST right... but some myths do exist! This frosty, perfectly cured flower delivers a smooth, smoke-laden transition into relaxation and bliss. A worthwhile reward after a day of nonstop work AND parenting, which is a job in itself. When I'm calm, they're calm. When I'm happy, they're happy. Everybody wins! A MUST for the 420 medicine cabinet.

If a stranger were to offer me THIS type of candy, I may willingly enter their unmarked van. Totally safe! Dense, dusty and crusty... a promisingly stony combo. And the smell? It's irresistible, with a crispness that cuts to the back of the nose. The perfect balance of sour and sweet. To top it off, I'm pretty sure a million-dollar idea surfaced during this smoke sesh with friends... Green Candy kicks butt!
