I've been in a bit of a canna-rut lately.

I'm a daily medicinal smoker, and usually I try to pick strains that will give me the most "bang for my buck." I definitely shop sales, and buy bulk as much as I can. As a result, I've been re-upping with the same couple of strains for the last few months. They're awesome and definitely do their job, so I can't really complain, but I was craving something new.

I'm baaaaaaack!

Yes, it is me, the Weed Kween, returned from a too-long hiatus! How's it hangin', fam?!

Life sure has a funny way of throwing curveball after curveball, doesn't it? I've been catching them left and right lately and as it unfortunately happens, my greatest hobby (cannabis) took a backseat for a while. I left a bad relationship and found a much better one. I moved into my own place for the first time in my adult life. I got a promotion! Life kept coming and coming and even though the changes I've made are all positive and great, I still felt like a part of me was missing. I missed weed.

I was at one of my favourite dispensaries recently, browsing for a new product to try, when my budtender directed my attention to the edibles section. I don't typically enjoy edible products, because I feel like their effects can be kind of inconsistent for me, but my budtender insisted he had a product I would love: the cannabis tincture.

Recently, my friend Phil invited me to record an episode of his podcast with him. It was an honour and a thrill and I really look forward to collaborating again (if you missed it you can check out our episode here.)

A year ago I would have been terrified to talk about weed on a podcast, much less attach my name to it and share it on my personal Facebook page. The legal ramifications are a valid consideration but to me it went beyond that: I was scared what my loved ones would think. 

When my husband decided to stop smoking a few years ago, he bought a vape pen (or e-cig as he likes to call it) from a kiosk at the mall. They set him up with menthol flavoured juice (his choice) at the highest nicotine level (a Marine's nicotine tolerance is no joke!) He got an extra battery, spare atomizers and they even threw in a car charger so he could charge his pen on the go. 

Hey gang--

Hope you're all having a great week. I've been in a bit of a funk lately myself. I guess it's just that time of year, but I'm just taking life one day and one bowl at a time (how else?!)

If you hadn't yet heard, the Nevada State Division of Public and Behavioural Health has just expanded and opened a second card processing location here in Vegas, at 2300 W Sahara Suite 800. The site will process medical marijuana card applications for Nevada residents, and the best part? They say they'll approve same day! 

Super Lemon Haze

Sativa

26.3% THC / 0% CBD

Grown by Deep Roots Harvest

$10/g from Thrive Cannabis Marketplace

I've been intrigued by this strain for a while. I first heard of Super Lemon Haze at my first dispensary visit and thought it sounded great (I'm a slut for any citrusy/limonene rich strains, which is why Agent Orange and Pineapple Express will always hold a special place in my heart).
