Review: Cresco Labs Green Line OG (Hybrid)

Image
  Hello and welcome to another review! Today's review is of Green Line OG flower from Cresco Labs . This came from an Illinois dispensary a bit ago and It's gotten some use, from me. This flower is from Cresco's Refresh Line, indicating that it is a Hybrid strain. Green Line is a 50/50 strain of Indica and Sativa but, in my opinion, it leans a bit more to the Sativa side. This is a great strain for medical use, as it is a fairly potent painkiller. It has no sedative effects, so my suggestion is to use this one as a daytime smoke. You can get stuff done!  This batch of GLOG came in at 23.6% THC. Depending on the batch and the grower you can certainly find it at lower or higher concentrations of THC. And, as you can see from the nicely informative label, the primary terpenes in this one are Cymene and Limonene, that made for a kind of nice taste.   The buds were nicely frosted with trichomes, outside and in. They were a bit dry, as I have come to expect from Cresco's flo

Review: Verano Private Stock: Mag Landrace Flower

  I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Today's review is of another Verano product, Mag Landrace Flower, from their Private Stock line. I have become a real fan of Verano's products (as you can see by previous reviews) and have managed to pick up a few of their more excellent products lately. I chose the Mag Landrace on a whim, after some research into it and, I must say, that it was not a bad idea to get this one. I am primarily an Indica user, so this pure landrace variety was intriguing. How can you possibly say no to a strain that is as old and potent as this one? Well, I can't! And I have not regretted it, at all. This strain is worth a toke or two. And, if you're a medical user. there are some real benefits to this one.     As you can see, this batch came in at a nice 25.36% THC. That's pretty darned good in my book. I do wish that Verano, and the other companies would let us know the terpene profiles of their cannabis. That should be a prominent bit o

Review: Verano Reserve Hybrid: Wedding Cake (Flower)

Image
 Welcome to my review of Verano's Wedding Cake flower. This took me a few days to do, because I wanted to see just how this flower worked using a couple of different methods. First up was getting a look at this stuff and seeing what it smells like. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised to see this packaged as nicely as it was. Nice glass jar with a decent lid and it was sealed on the inside with an additional cover and had a Boveda 62% 4 gram humidity pack in it. This is something that other producers should pay attention to. One thing I had hoped for with this beautiful packaging was that it would be airtight. I left it out overnight, (instead of returning it to my usual airtight storage) and the area around where I had it was redolent with the aroma of this Wedding Cake. If someone other than yourself or family in the know, smelling your stash is a potential problem, you will definitely want to transfer the contents of these jars to an actual airtight container.   Unlike som

My Journey Back To Cannabis

Image
  Like many people of my generation I was a recreational cannabis consumer "back in the day". And, as is not unusual, my recreational use tapered off to not using over the years. Then life happened. Over the course of the last year or so, I started to develop a good deal of painful maladies. Arthritis, knee issues (likely arthritis, as well, but still not diagnosed fully), neck and shoulder pains, nausea and other debilitating and painful issues. Sleeping also became an issue as nighttime pain interrupted things all night long.  My doctors took the usual route with prescription NSAID's and we found out quickly that OTC meds did nothing, and prescription NSAID's just made me ill and also offered no relief. Opioids were just not even on my radar, and I let my doctors know it. That was a road I just was not going to go down.  Like many folks out there, I had watched an aging parent with diabetic myopathy and other pain, suffer through that pain and getting enough medicat
