    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

Review: Verano Swift Lifts - G Purps

Image
Hi and welcome to this Saturday review. Today I'm reviewing G Purps Swift Lifts mini pre-rolls from Verano . This is not my first time with these and I will freely admit that G Purps is a favourite of mine, especially these little pre-rolls. They are powerful and just the right size for anyone, medical or recreational users. Verano recently changed their packaging from plain black and white to this newer and more colourful design. It does look nice but the best thing is that the quality has not only remained the same, it has gone up! So, let's get to it, shall we? As you can see the contents pack a potent punch and come in at a THC content of 25.3%! G Purps, also known as Grandaddy Purple, GDP, etc, is a very potent and pleasing Indica cross of Mendo Purps, Skunk and Afghanistan.  These 5 pre-rolls are nicely rolled. They have a great firmness to them and the paper filter doesn't interfere with your draw or let anything through, other than smoke. They do NOT come with a Bov

    Welcome to the Friday edition of Crossroads Cannablog! I hope everyone had a great week and that you have an even better weekend! We've got some gems today! Some strain and product reviews that span from coast to coast, some science geek cannabis knowledge, a look at last years High Times Cannabis Cup Illinois winners, and a bit of political talk-talk that concerns us and our plants of choice. So, let's get to it!   Weed Entertainment has a new piece up on LA's Top 30 Best Cannabis strains. As always, very informative. If you're in the LA area give us a shout and let us know if you agree!   Next up is the ever informative Cannabis Critique! He is reviewing the Cookies and Cream strain from Revolution , in Illinois. He is not the only person to give Revolution good marks, as you'll see in the High Times video! Revolution is really starting to spread out in Illinois and their popularity is warranted.    Here's a short taste test from Alex, over in Pennsylvania

Stay Happy!  -*M*

     Hello, and welcome to a new week! We have a few things to look at today. We have some great video reviews, a podcast on a cannabis documentary called "Weediatrics",  (about parents using cannabis to treat their children even when the powers that be forbid it), a great piece from Katherine Mangu-Ward on how to talk to your young kids about cannabis, another great review from Cannacentric Films on Aeriz's Cake Breath flower, a great little video from Green Flower and Samantha Miller on understanding cannabinoids, and a Talk and Toke review from the inimitable Cannabev. So let's get to it, shall we? First up is a short article from Katherine Mangu-Ward, at Reason Magazine, on how to talk to your kids about cannabis. As someone who has young adult "kids" I never had to deal with this issue when I re-entered the cannabis culture. I did have to spend some time undoing all the lies that their government schools allowed the cops in D.A.R.E. to try and  brainwas

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

 Happy day after 420! I have a couple of things today, and this is the first. Here are some links to some of my favorite people doing their 420 and day after reviews, news and commentary. First up is an excellent review of the Aeriz Jenny Kush flower. I'm not sure where all Aeriz is sold, but this one is from Illinois and the review is from the excellent Cannacentric Films . You can find them on YouTube and I highly recommend them if you have any interest in Illinois or Aeriz products. Just look at these beautiful buds! Cannabis Coach Haley takes the time to introduce us to a new (to me, anyway) product. It's a CBD Sparkling Water from the folks at Mad Tasty . Now, I am a regular Ted Lasso when it comes to sparkling water, but I am a fan of CBD and Coach Haley! And I will definitely be keeping her advice in mind about using CBD to calm yourself when you've managed to get a bit too high.  If you are "new" to the modern cannabis scene, and looking for some umbrell
