Stuck on Thai Stick

Uplifting and happy

When we asked the budtender at Green Star Cannabis what his favorite Sativa strain was, he let us know he was over the moon about Thai Stick. Regarded as “the best weed he’s ever smoked,” Thai Stick had quite a reputation to uphold. With frosty buds and earthy scents, this strain was a fun day smoker that brought you relaxation and happiness; much like an ocean breeze blowing on a summer’s day or staring at a crackling fire on a summer evening.

Deep Blue Hash’d

A creative and energetic Indica-dominant hybrid

Blue Hash was a delightful new strain picked from Pullman’s pot shop, We’re Just Buds. One of several new growers introduced to Eastern Washington by the awesome pot shops (go check them out if you’re in town!); we found it to be euphoric, happy and a little bit spacy. A 60-40 indica split, it’s mild enough to enjoy during the day, without providing wicked couchlock. Continue reading Deep Blue Hash’d

Do Marijuana Smokers Make Bad Parents?

**Stoned Philosopher’s Thoughts**

“People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.” Dalai Lama XIV

When I was a child, my siblings and I would run all over our neighborhood. My mother gave us pretty much free range; if we told her where we were going and when we would be back, it was alright. If a child today were to head off into the woods or play in a ravine a mile away like I did, the parents may be accused of neglecting their children. Continue reading Do Marijuana Smokers Make Bad Parents?

The Great Northern Haze

Good bud for the midday

Northern Haze was purchased at the Dockside Cannabis in North Seattle. I felt cerebral that day and was guided to the sativa-dominant Northern Haze by one of the charming Budtenders. I’ve been a consistent fan of Haze hybrids in the past and needed festive flowers to contribute at my friends’ Holiday gathering. In the context of a social setting, Northern Haze will spark just the right vibe. Continue reading The Great Northern Haze

Snoop Dogg Dreamin’

Spacy and Dreamy

Sourced from Ocean Greens in Seattle, Snoop Dogg Dream is a strain we’ll be coming back to again and again. We’re fans of the rap/rasta legend’s tunes and even bigger fans of his weed! Grown by Auric AG, it’s a hybrid that leans on the Indica side, making it perfect for relaxation and deep thinking. Light it up with friends, light it up alone; this weed is sure to bring you peace and comfort. Continue reading Snoop Dogg Dreamin’

Clothing the Emperor, Jack Herer

Settles slowly and sharply and is very clear.

Purchased at the Dockside Cannabis in North Seattle. Drawn to the packaging, production value, and producer reputation; recommended by a professional budtender. Originally bred as a 50 percent Haze cross that maintained sativa tendencies and accelerated flowering period. Named after the late Jack Herer, proponent of decriminalization and all-around human being.

Info to Know: Did you know the narwhal is considered the unicorn of the sea? Continue reading Clothing the Emperor, Jack Herer
