    Hello, everyone! Welcome to the end of the week/weekend edition of Crossroads Cannablog! We have some great content from awesome content creators, as well as plenty of news and information to help everyone along in the Cannabis Culture Journey! So, get your clicking fingers ready and get prepared to get enlightened! First up is Dan, from Dan's Buddha Bodega , with another excellent and highly amusing review. This time he's taking a look at Cresco Labs Lemon Bean strain . Lemon Bean is a Sativa dominant strain and, if you're an Indica person, like Dan and myself, this won't be your best strain. On the other hand, if you're a Sativa person, then this is going to be your groove!   What would a week be like if we didn't have a review from Cannabis Critique ? Dull and uninformative, that's what! Fortunately, we have another good review from him and it's for Revolution s Mint Chocolate Chip strain. This is another Sativa leaning hybrid, but it looks like...

    Hey, everyone, and welcome to another Crossroads Cannablog! Seems like everyone has been super busy and I'm happy to share their excellent content with you, again. And don't forget to like, subscribe and comment at their channels! And ours! Shall we start with the reviews? We do have a few to get through and folks chose some killer strains to share with you this time around!     First up are a pair of reviews from Bob's Bomb Buds . Now, "Bob" is in Canada, but cannabis strains know no borders these days. The Skywalker OG review is great and Skywalker can be found many places down here! Island Pink Kush , though, is one I have yet to see, but I am looking forward to it! It sounds entirely consumable!   Cannacentric Films has another great review online. This go around it is OZ Kush BX2 from Bedford Grow . Lots of genetics info, as usual and a good look at an Illinois weed you might need!   Cannabis Critique went out and got some Mint Cake from Cresco...

    Hello and welcome to another edition of Crossroads Cannablog! We've got some great reviews, news and information to use for you, as usual. So, let's get right to it, shall we? Remember, if you like the content here, please subscribe and comment. And if you like the content creators we share with you, like, subscribe and comment at their sites, too! First up is the ever amusing and totally honest, Dan from Dan's Buddha Bodega , with another great review! This time he's firing up some Jet Fuel OG from GTI / Rythm out of Illinois.    Next we have a fresh review from Alex22 over in Pennsylvania. This time around he's trying out another Moxie live resin cartridge, Slymer, a Sativa dominant hybrid strain with some great medical benefits. Alex is concentrates lover, and I don't blame him, as there are some great ones out there!  Doc, over at Weed Entertainment , has a review of a West Coast brand of the ever popular Wedding Cake strain. This one is by Cannabi...

Some Weekend Reviewing: Good News Disposable Vape Pens

Image
Hello and welcome to another review! Today's review is of the Good News Me Time and Friyay 300mg disposable vape pens. Good News is yet another of Cresco Labs labels. These highly popular vape pens are available in Illinois and in Michigan, (and probably other markets where Cresco has a presence). Frankly, these vape pens are a good value in most places. In Illinois they run around $35-40 and in Michigan they run in the $20-25 range. Needless to say, it's worthwhile to pick up a couple or a few, if you're in Michigan. These are both top notch products and the fact that both routinely sell out at dispensaries (especially the Friyay) speaks to their popularity. There's a reason for that, too! Folks that use these know they're getting a good product. So, on to the Me Time. The blue Me Time vape is an Indica dominant vape. The aroma, if you take a whiff from the opening, is fruity and a bit reminiscent of bubblegum. The taste is also very nice and smooth with a fruiti...

  Hello and welcome to another Crossroads Cannablog! In today's issue we have a few great reviews, some amusing unboxing, news and more! If you like what you see, please feel free to subscribe, comment and share! Doc, over at Weed Entertainment , takes a look at White Bubblegum Gelato hybrid strain from Backpack Boyz out on the West Coast. This is a really nice looking strain! He likes Sativa style flower (euphoric and energizing) and this hybrid looks like it fits the bill! Cannabis Critique beat me to the punch with his review of Cresco 's Green Line OG. I'll be posting my review on this strain very soon but, until then, watch this for a look at  a nice hybrid flower from Cresco.   Cannacentric Films has another great review and this time it is Cresco 's Lime Skunk flower. This is a Sativa from Cresco's Rise line of flower. This review is really an informative look at Lime Skunk. I've had one of their Skunk lines and it was very nice, even though I prefer In...

  Hello and welcome to another edition of Crossroads Cannablog! I do hope everyone had a great weekend and is planning for a great week! There are some nice links featured today from some great content providers and even some news! If you like the blog, please subscribe and please pass it along! So, let's get to it, shall we?   Some of my favourite cannabis connoisseurs have had a great time getting introduced to new strains and they are great at sharing their opinions on these cannabis strains and forms. And I love putting them up here for even more people to see and experience them! First up we have Chris, at CannaBev . He really wants folks to get Cookie Dos, from Revolution (an Illinois grower). Chris never fails to inform me in an interesting fashion and this episode gets 5 Stars for being the funniest review, yet!     Bobs Bomb Buds gives a nice look at Stardust OG. I must say that, going by Stardust's lineage, it looks like a nice bud!     Over at ...

   Hello and welcome back to Crossroads Cannablog! It's been a busy week for me, so I've been a bit slack in getting this out. Mea Culpa Maximus! This edition will run a bit long, but everything is just so darned good! More content coming ASAP!           Cannabis Critique has another good review. This time he is reviewing the Love Triangle strain by Columbia Care in Illinois. Dan, at Dan's Buddha Bodega takes a look at Ha'tuh Pressed Hash by PTS. I must say that this stuff looks pretty darned good, but doesn't look like any I've ever had in the Middle East. Still, Dan's review makes me want to go have a try!   Chris, over at Cannabev , has yet another excellent review. This time he takes a look at Miami Punch, by Revolution Cannabis . Chris is a great reviewer and touches so many bases in his content. Take the time and watch his stuff, you will not be disappointed!   We're going to have a double header from Cannabis Critique , this time aro...

    Hi and welcome back! I have a few things for you to look at. A new review from Alex22 and Weed Entertainment. A look at Delta-8 THC and its legality and an inspiring piece about PTSD and Cannabis, from Green Flower.  First up is Alex and his review of the Moxie reserve lines Sunset Sherbert resin cartridge. He's a fan! Weed Entertainment has their 2020 winners in the LA's Best Heavyweight Couchlock Strains. If you're an Indica fan, (and who isn't?) this is right up your alley! Weed In A Pot takes a look at Delta-8 THC and its legality.  And last, but certainly not least, is a wonderful video from Green Flower about PTSD and combating it with cannabis. Really, folks. This should be a no brainer for everyone. A medicine like ours, that genuinely works with no debilitating side effects, should be the medicine of first choice, not illegal. Well, that's it for today. I expect to be back very soon with more reviews, by myself and others, and more great cannabis conten...

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...
