Vanilla Berry Pie by One Plant

Vanilla Berry Pie by One Plant

To be honest, I bought this strain because of the name, and its sweetness, in both taste and effect, lives up to the expectation. Vanilla Berry Pie (VBP) is an indica dominate hybrid. I purchased on 1/8th, or 3.5g for $42. VBP is a cross between Magnum Opus 11th Gen. Royal Kush x Cherry Pie Kush x Sunset Sherbert. As with all of One Plant's flower, VBP is organically grown.

Ebony & Ivory by One Plant

Ebony & Ivory by One Plant

I was excited to see a Sativa dominant hybrid during my trip to One Plant. I've always reached for indicas, but lately, I find myself drawn to Sativas for a little extra boost. I purchased an 1/8th, or 3.5g, for $42. Ebony & Ivory is a strain created by Swamp Boy Seeds. It is a cross of The White and Nigerian (hence, the name). The buds of this organically grown flower are medium sized & covered in trichomes (that frosty goodness). Upon opening the jar, I was hit with an earthy, nutty aroma.

Blueberry Concentrate by Muv

Blueberry Concentrate by Muv

Muv has several options for cartridges. I found the Pure cartridge fit my existing pen, so this is the one I decided to go with. I was happy to see it is solvent-free, and only contains distillate with cannabis-derived and all natural terpenes, providing full spectrum benefits. Blueberry is one of my favorite strains, so I was excited to try it in a concentrate. As I suspected, the concentrate isn't quite as effective for me as the whole flower, but it is still a decent alternative if you have to be discrete, or whole flower isn't your thing.

Jack Herer Cartridge by Trulieve

Jack Herer Cartridge by Trulieve

When you search cartridges on Trulieve's website, there a lot of options. Regardless, no matter what concentrate you choose, you can be sure there are no cutting agents like MCT oil (coconut oil). I decided to go with the Jack Herer CO2 Vape Sativa cartridge. The stain is named after a marijuana activist and author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. It is a very well known, popular day-time, sativa-dominate strain. (Read more by clicking the photo above.)

Terpene Cheat Sheet

Terpene Cheat Sheet

You may not realize it, but you are already familiar with Terpenes. Terpenes are fragrant oils that are responsible for the scent of cannabis, as well as a variety of other organisms and plants. Each cannabis strain has a unique terpene profile that not only gives it a signature sent, but also aids in the overall effects of the strain. (Read more by clicking the photo above.)

9lb Hammer by Trulieve

9lb Hammer by Trulieve

When the budtender described this strain, he told me it was the one to grab if nothing else is working. So, of course I purchased 1/8th. This strain is named 9 Pound Hammer for a reason. Almost immediately, you are hit with the effects of heavy-duty sedation. I was energized and ready to write, but after a few inhalations of 9 lb Hammer, I was on the couch and ready to close my eyes.

Liberty Health has partnered with The Werc Shop to produce some of their Pax Era Pod concentrates. When you see a Werc Shop logo on a product, you know it is quality. The concentrate I tried was Bubba Kush. This particular batch was 83.8% THC and .9% CBD. Bubba Kush is a full Indica, my favorite! This means it has a heavy sedating effect.

Super A5 by Liberty Health

Super A5 by Liberty Health

The particular batch I tried was 20.9% THC and 0.1% CBD. Due to its higher THC level, it doesn't take much to feel the euphoric effects. As a result, Super A5 is mainly recommended for patients with chronic stress, anxiety, and chronic depression. Other patients have also found relief from restless nights that result from insomnia. If euphoria isn't your thing, the strain is also beneficial in low doses. It can improve creativity and productivity without clouding up your head space for too long.
