Fundraising for Winchester Collective, a Cannabis Coalition Looking to Treat Sleep Disorders

Having been around the cannabis industry for quite sometime and recently beginning work in it, I have joined my business associate and friend in our quest to raise enough money to run a collective based out in Southeast Los Angeles. Currently, we have garnered 45,000 but are now looking for more donations. Our collective specializes in alleviating people with sleep disorders with our special curating process.

More details can be found at our GoFundMe page. If you do not have the money but our fully behind our mission, please share our page. The more we get our name out there, the quicker we can start delivering our product to the public.

Thank you,

The California Mephitis

Quick Review – The Roasty Fire OG

Fire OG is one of the most common sativas out there in the market, and typically, Fire OG can be found on the bottom shelf at most dispensaries. However, Fire OG is one of the most under appreciated strain in the cannabis community.

Fire OG has a cooked-over-coal, smoky taste, which burns the throat a little more than other strains. When smoked, the Fire OG is guarantee going to leave a lingering pot smell in the room or outdoors. Most sativas leave a lemony fresh smell, but there are always exceptions and Fire OG is one of them. The smell is the same as it tastes.

Since Fire OG is a sativa, Fire OG adds a more energetic and creative boost than an indica strain. It lifts the eyes, massages the shoulders, and comforts the soles of your feet. The Fire OG works quick and efficiently.

A gram of Fire OG will run around eight to 10 dollars, as an eighth can be surprisingly cheap at 25 to 30. And this is the most attractive part of Fire OG: it’s dirt cheap, but it’s not dirt weed. There are downsides with Fire OG, like it’s unwelcomed odor and it’s dry constitution.

But aesthetics and aroma doesn’t make the strain. Think of Fire OG like a wily ole’ vet. It doesn’t act or look what you think, but it comes out to do the job, especially with it’s 20 % THC rating. For all of it’s unattractiveness in the way it looks and feels, the Fire OG will get you high as well as the mid-to-top shelf strains.

Pink Lemonade from GFarmaLabs Gets You Drunk on Weed

To be honest, if this drink was anymore potent, it should come with a bigger warning label. Drinking all of the containments in this pink lemonade is enough to sedate a cow. Drinking a third will undoubtedly do the trick and if you take decent enough swigs, maybe one or two gulps will even be enough to feel it.

Pink Lemonade from GFarmaLabs is 16 fl oz and composed of 100 mg of THC. For the beginners and for those new to edibles, small sips over an extended period time is the suggested practice. For those with a little bit more experience, a quarter should be good and if you’re not feeling any sort of semblance of a high within an hour, then take a couple of more sips. GFarmaLabs offers the same advice as above, just slightly more vague since they don’t define what “a small amount” entails. Also on the nutrition facts, GFarmaLabs has the number of servings at 2, which means you would be consuming 50 mg of THC. If you choose to do this, choose to stay home and to have another person driving.

Whenever you drink or consume an edibles, always treat it like alcohol because edibles don’t work initially like smoking flowers. They take time to metabolize and be placed in your bloodstream. Pink Lemonade from GFarmaLabs will easily get any person high on three or four occasions, so don’t waste it by drinking it all at once and putting yourself in a weed coma.

Price wise, Pink Lemonade from GFarmaLabs is a bargain at 13 dollars. The taste is pleasant for the most part, with a slight weed aftertaste that is noticeable but not vexing. And it shouldn’t be a hindrance to those who despise weed-tasting edible. Shaking the bottle will mix the cannabis better, making the weed taste almost unnoticeable. The lemonade isn’t overly citrus-y either. The smell of it is aromatic, as if it was freshly squeezed.

To those who have sensitive taste buds once their high, the Pink Lemonade will be bitterer, tarter, and have a little sting to the tongue. You shouldn’t be drinking this when your high anyway. Either go with something less or way until your out of your high before consuming. Pink Lemonade from GFarmaLabs is a drink you have by itself and without any side dishes, unless your side dish actually involves food items like mac’n’cheese or a cone from McDonalds.

 

 

Plus Gum Spearmint – A Quick Review on the Cool Chew to Coast On

Plus Gum Spearmint is a breath freshener that contains 25 mg of THC per piece. It runs for about 6 dollars for every package, which only comes with one piece that is surprisingly long lasting in terms of its spearmint taste.

The gum is more stringy than it is chewy. Your teeth will shred through its long, thin consistency, but it’s as easy to group it all back together into a little ball as it is to break it apart.

Although it contains 25 mg of THC, don’t expect it to hit as hard as other edibles that hover around the same measurements. You will feel the highness but not to the level as most would expect.

As said before, unfortunately, the Plus Gum is more commonly sold in one piece package. They do however sell six-piece packages as well. Again, they aren’t as common as the one piece.

For the one piece, the Plus Gum isn’t cheap or practical. A typical dispensary will sell a 5-dollar preroll for cheaper with more THC. Although it seems counter-intuitive, you can save money by putting in a little more by purchasing other edibles. Kiva bars ,for example, will give you eight 22.5 mg of THC servings for 20 dollars. Same with the breeze mints that accomplish the goal as the Plus Gum: 20 dollars for 40 mints, which comes to 50 cents a mint. Effectively, when you are purchasing the Breeze Mints, you only have to pay 2.50 for the same amount of THC dosage as you would for the Plus Gum.

Plus Gum isn’t bad. It works for what it is. It’s just that it’s easier to save money and getting the same magic by shopping elsewhere.

Don’t Judge A Bud By It’s Smell – Purple Heaven is What’s Up

Spongy, rank, and burns colorfully like Joss Paper, Purple Heaven is a hairy flower that’ll relax the mind of the patient. Purple Heaven is another indica strain that hovers around the 20 percent THC mark. With thick foliage, the orange pistils poke and prod out rather than wrap around the calyx. Aesthetic wise, there isn’t as much purple as the name implies or at least with the gram this user purchased. However, this an indica strain that is for almost every type of smoker. Although it’s an indica, it will not put you in comatose like a Bubba Kush would. It will make you just as spacey and airheaded, so it’s a come-home-from-work-and-deflate type of bud.

Purple Heaven is the flower you smoke when you still have a dinner to make, dishes to clean, clothes to wash, and projects to work on. Like any indica, it will help you relax into a pleasant slumber but it won’t force you. In fact, patients will have to do their typical “winding down” process – brush your teeth, take a shower, read a book, and etc – before it will make them sleepy. The taste isn’t stronger than any other bud, but the taste will persist even after eating or drinking. The best use of Purple Heaven is for creative projects as it provides a relaxed sensation without curbing your ambition. Artistry benefits most from an active mind but other problems come with: anxiety, stress, self-doubt. Purple Heaven gets rid of the latter but keeps the former.

Really, Purple Heaven acts more like a hybrid of both sativa and indica rather than a straight indica strain. Sticky enough, Purple Heaven is easily handled and shaved down for the amateurs. Flames burn a little bit longer, so it’s easy to cherry a couple of hits without sparking up a lighter.

So far Purple Heaven is not as a popular strain as some others since it’s not listed on Leafly. The only place this user was able to find it was at some selective dispensaries throughout San Diego and El Cajon. Hopefully, in a short time, this strain will become popular among the 9 – 5 working people who have creative, post-work endeavors.
