GENESIS - 500mg Dabable Syringe w/ Metal Needle

7/19/2018
These are the notes I took from today's session: 1, 3sec. hit at 12:22 pm, very harsh. Noticing high coming on at 12:26. No "weed paranoia" to speak of, spacey yet focused. Mostly sober at 2:14 pm with slight aftereffects still lingering. Could easily use this in a social setting without feeling anxious or overwhelmed by the high. - Overall, I dig this cartridge, its potency is the highest I've ever had. But, just like I indicated in my notes, it hits fairly harshly with a 3-4 second pull. Whatever the terpene profile is, I don't have a refined enough of a palate to detect it. Mostly the characteristic "weed" taste, albeit more subdued. You could definitely get high on the D.L. with an ebbu Genesis cartridge, like an old school hip flask at a wedding. I didn't get the syringe kit, I picked up the cartridge/battery combo at Lightshade Sheridan for $61.73 - out the door, that's not terrible. Provided you have a 510 thread battery you'll probably shave 10 bucks off the purchase. Final verdict - Great effects for a proprietary blend cartridge, taste is nothing special.

Presidential OG

12/25/2016
Have you ever had a Kush variety before? Well, Presidential is going to be very familiar to you. My basis for comparison is SFV OG Kush, an excellent Kush strain. Whereas SFV is more uplifting for me personally (based on Ballpark Holistic's genetics) Presidential Kush is more sedating. I waked and baked a bowl out of my Arizer and had a fun, relaxing day. Being an "Indica," Presidential had the spasmolydic effects without too much of a couchlock feeling. I was able to go about my day without feeling massive stoned. Altogether, I'd say Presidential is a good strain for someone who wants relaxed muscles and a functional day high. I like it, but, I love a strain like Dark Star for a zooted out mystical Indica high.

The Dab - Downtown

9/2/2016
Last time I was in I picked up a gram of Dark Star that was one of their Green Dot specials. Surprisingly, I blazed through it quicker than the other herb I had on rotation. Based on that alone I'd recommend Ballpark. As for the general ambiance, it's right there in the heart of Downtown and it's either your cup of tea or not. The past few times I've been in the person at the front desk is cheerful and friendly. But, the budtenders seemed pretty curt and ambivalent. As long as the weed continues to rock petty gripes are irrelevant. Ballpark is a walk-off homerun!

Harlequin

8/6/2016
First and foremost, Harlequin is a purely medicinal strain, so if you're wondering why you aren't getting high it's because there ain't no THC in them nugs. Now, for those of us who happen to enjoy high CBD to THC and have a little more feel for the highly complex interaction between these two principle cannabinoids and their effect on our personal endocannabinoid system – gotta say, Harlequin is pretty rad! While sharing subtle similarities, it is also much different than something like Cannatonic. Last night I had a full Arizer Air bowl of pure Harlequin turned to the 2'nd level heat setting of 374 degrees and noticed the muscle relaxation effects kick in almost immediately. Although, I will admit that knowing that I wouldn't get high whatsoever and not having a problem with that because I wasn't really in a getting-high kind of mood I started to feel bummed that I wasn't feeling high about halfway through the bowl. So, just now I mixed a half-and-half bowl of Harlequin and White Dawg and it was a whole different and very awesome experience culminating in the best of both worlds, high CDB - and high THC ratio! seriously, check out these test results from the labels on the bottles. Harlequin (Native Roots Edgewater): CBDA: 7.4% - 8.9% THCA: 4.43% -5.02% THC: 3.95% - 4.52% White Dawg (Lightshade 6'th Avenue): THC: 0.56% THCA: 29.11% CBDA 0.94% It is cool to feel how the high CBD has a regulatory checks and balances effect on THC. One minute you feel high, then the next you feel relaxed and completely sober; but still kinda high, but not high. It's a stoner's version of Schrodinger's cat, paradoxically you feel both high and not high. Oddly enough I'd say that the THC has the better general anesthetic properties while the CBD has the better muscle relaxant effects and that you notice with a strong Indica. Typically something like White Dawg leans towards the kind of awesome paranoid/racey/spacey/creative kind of high that people can find unpleasant. With the inclusion of Harlequin this mystical effect was almost completely blocked in favor of a completely lucid sober yet still relaxed and stoned sensation of the White Dawg subtly below the surface. What has sold me on the high CBD strains recently is for the past few years I've dealt with TMJ issues from getting socked in the jaw during various forms of MMA training, snowboarding, and longboarding; plus a whole long list of sports injuries going back to childhood. Long story short, sports beat the hell out of you and eventually you have a long list of kick-ass injuries. This is where high CBD strains happen to shine; old, nagging injuries tend to leave you in a state of constant tension and muscle guarding to avoid new injuries. CBD allows you to relax and let your muscles recuperate for a deliberately planned rest day and not another impromptu trail run or workout sesh.

Native Roots Dispensary - Littleton - Recreational

8/4/2016
This is the kind of place that truly gives dispensaries a bad name. It was a 20 minute wait to come up completely empty handed. The only strain I went there to get was Sour Tsunami, but, I was willing to settle for some Harlequin. Instead I was informed they didn't have ANY high CBD strains available. The dude even had the gall to ask me "where did you hear we had that?" Leafly, the clarion f-ing call of the weed world in Colorado. Alternatively, it is being advertised on the flat screen in your fucking lobby as one of your award winning strains no less! Seriously, take a note dispensaries, regularly update your menu on Leafly. People carry smartphones and have these super convenient things called apps. You don't have to be Marcus Lemonis to realize that being incompetent with technology is now costing you business. I walked out of your store without buying shit, your salesman didn't even attempt to to salvage a sale from me.

Bruce Banner

7/21/2016
Whoa! Bruce Banner, excellent stuff. It definitely reminds me of Chemdawg. The high started kicking in about halfway through an Arizer Air sized bowl. Music is sounding pretty rad - in that stoned kind of way where everything seems super profound. Also, time feels like it is moving faster, but, if you check out the time on the cell phone it is moving more slowly than you subjectively perceive. Ha! What a silly weed tangent. Basically, just a good and potent strain of weed mentally, and, physically. For those familiar, it feels similar to other Chemdawg/Diesel strains and even a little like Durban Poison. It has a very unique balance between it's Sativa and Indica traits. It could go either way, chilling out and listening to tunes, or interacting with people. I'd definitely prefer chilling out to some Georg Frideric Handel or Explosions in the Sky and reading, personally. Also, this seems like kick ass weed for backpacking or climbing. On a related side note, Colorado has some pretty awesome strain genetics coming through these days. High CBD low THC has been an awesome surprise to pair with 25% plus THC strains. This Banner I picked up was testing at just a little more than 25% from L'Eagle.

Chemdawg

6/19/2016
I definitely ended up with an Indica leaning Chemdawg pheno. I read on the jar this was testing at 26% THCA and thought I'd get massively uplifted and stoned. Instead, I just felt massively tired. It is a fairly fun high for me though, sometimes it's a refreshing change of pace to lay in bed like a zombie and listen to the Bach station on Pandora. I'm pretty sure this crop was much better when it was fresh and wasn't the bottom of the jar shake. But, it still had a great taste out of the vape. It's spicy and black pepper taste with a numbing sensation on your tongue. I'll give Chemdawg a try again. If this is how it performs as discount shake I'd be interested to see how it performs as top shelf race fuel.

L'Eagle Services LLC

6/16/2016
I think L'Eagle is a pretty solid place. Being a canna-snob I'm willing to cough up some extra dough for the stickiest of the icky. In that department L'Eagle hasn't ever let me down. However, just to whisper in their ear and keep them humble like Marcus Aurelius. My only knock is that the flower can taste a bit too chlorophyll-ey on the first hit. But, that excruciatingly small detail aside the bud always tastes clean and richly terp laden. So far this is one of the few establishments to garner my repeat business. They've got very friendly and patient bud tenders. I'm in and out under 15 min. and I don't have to pretend to be interested in their new boa constrictor, sword collection or pitbulls. Yeah, that's what we ALL had to deal with before the Devil's Lettuce was legal!

Strawberry Cough

6/15/2016
Just enjoyed a Arizer Air bowl of Strawberry Cough and I'm good and medicated watching MacGyver. It's fucking hilarious, I totally want to be a Phoenix Foundation agent! In "The Legend of the Holy Rose" episodes he actually searches for the Holy Grail. He also builds an ultralight out of bamboo and a cement mixer motor to escape from a Colombian drug lord's mountain-top stronghold. What I'm getting at is Strawberry Cough is pretty neat. I'm super invested in this MacGyver plot. Got the giggles and the munchies. Oh yeah, Strawberry Cough tastes like strawberries. And I verily disagree with other reviewers feeling motivated to clean the house. I feel motivated to binge on the greatest TV show ever created.

White Dawg

6/5/2016
I humbly amend my previous review of White Dawg. This stuff will send your ass to the moon! Well - two bowls and two 35mg THC suckers will get you properly keyed. Odd thing is, I still stand by my previous review of not getting stoned the first time I tried this. Second time around, hoo boy, different strain altogether. Paranoia with this strain, surprisingly, none! And did I get the ULTIMATE litmus test to determine if I could keep my shit together. Tried to sell artisan glass before a concert at Red Rocks and this Ranger had to be Mr. 20 fucking questions, with: Do you mind opening up your car? Are you selling things? Do you have a vendors license? (Answer to all of the above is of course: I'll be leaving, Am I being detained? No, you may not look inside my vehicle.) Well, long story short, my ass got run off like a gypsy. Also, dealing with faux fuzz while high as a kite is doable but not advisable. Taste- still the same subtle piney taste. White Dawg, it's got some kick to it. But it's quite weird, maybe it will get you super stoned. Maybe, you'll be asking yourself "Am I high? I think I feel high, nah, I'm not that high." Or maybe 70mg of THC lolipops made me feel like I was flying around on that Dragon thing from Neverending Story all day. Well, either way, I smoked some White Dawg and got massively stoned.
