Brittanie and I sampled the CBD cocktails at Gracias Madre in West Hollywood to celebrate my 30th birthday. Why not order a drink for every decade of friendship?
We unintentionally started with the Stoney Negroni. I thought I ordered us “the weed leaf” drinks. Alas, the combination of gin, vermouth and Amaro provided a perfect combination of bitter meets sweet. An orange peel with the imprint “puff, puff, pass” added a subtle citrus kick.
As PNWonderland turns into PNWinter Wonderland, I envisioned a snow bunny shoot styled by Fauxy Furr Vintage. The only difference? We don’t walk, we blaze in this winter wonderland.
We scouted a location off Tinkam Road near Snoqualmie Pass. Chrysta, Jill and I stomped out a trail to the river. Fat snowflakes fell through perfectly diffused light. Ideal conditions to light up in a winter wonderland.
Oregon’s recreational market is in full swing. While there’s a slew of shops, one in particular stands out — Serra Cannabis Eugene.
A self proclaimed modern druggist, Serra has locations in Portland, Belmont and Eugene. The shop has Mid-century decor and minimalist design. The ambiance is similar to a high-end fashion boutique or salon. It’s clear — Serra is not your average pot shop.
For Christmas trees near Seattle, you can go to the Crown Tree Farm. You can also go to your local cannabis shop, because in the PNW we smoke our Christmas trees.
Chrysta and I teamed up for a Fauxy Furr Vintage holiday shoot. A last-minute model cancelation meant we became the models. I guess this is why I always keep my mani camera ready.
The 2016 election results made one thing is clear — Americans want legal weed. Nine states voted on recreational cannabis laws. Eight passed.
California, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts voted in favor of recreational marijuana. North Dakota, Arkansas and Florida said yes to medical marijuana. Montana voters passed laws to make medical use easier. Arizona, the only state to not pass, voted against its recreational law.
Hash Plant is a rich, bold indica with dense flowers. Due to the plant’s short flowering time makes, this Sensi Seeds classics is a favorite amongst farmers. One of my florists is Legends by Northwest Cannabis Solutions.
Hash Plant is a hybrid of two indicas — Northern Lights and Afghani. It has an deep, rich woodsy aroma with hints of Hashish. When smoked, this strain has a spicy sharp bite.
On Tuesday Americans will vote the lesser of two evils under the guise of freedom. Me? I'm a libertarian. I vote for weed.
Nine states have marijuana laws on the ballot. From loosened medical regulations to recreational weed, 2016 is shaping up to be a game changer for our industry.
If I need a sweet, fruity, energetic high I grab my Green Crack strain. A favorite for fat, chunky buds is Legends by Northwest Cannabis Solutions.
It's important to note the Green Crack strain has two lineages. This one, the most common, is a sativa descent from Skunk #1. It provides energetic, happy, uplifted and creative effects.
If you're grinding 9 to 5 and need the best weed grinder on the market, check out 9to5 Grinders. This luxe line offers a smooth grind every time. Best of all, their metal finish blends into your everyday life.
9to5 Grinders come with all the accessories you'd expect from the best weed grinder. A removable sifting screen makes for easy cleaning. Unique drop through holes prevent over shredding of flower. A guitar pick is included to scrape the kief. My favorite feature? A clear body allows you to see your storage capacity.
Wrap your day with a sweet treat. I recommend a flavorful bowl of Cherry Sherbet. No, not the ice cream. I'm referring to Private Reserve's sweet strain.
Cherry Sherbet is a rare indica-dominant hybrid. Its parent genetics are Sour Sherbet and Cherry Pie. Buds are a deep purple with sparse long, orange hairs. Ironically, Cherry Sherbet does not smell like cherries. Instead it's a rich, fruit flavor with subtle spicy notes.
