Green Elevator Gummies Review
Written By Casey Renteria
Not going to lie, while having my own elevator was a childhood dream, I’m pretty sure this wasn’t what I had in mind though. When the box arrived, I opened the door with such enthusiasm I scared the mailman, who was already halfway down the walkway. Retreating into my house with goodies in hand, an hour later I was on my way up!
Fighting Fire with Fire
Written By Casey Renteria
There is nothing I’d love to do more than set the world on fire when I’m in pain. Call it dramatic, I call it fair. If my nerves are on fire, everything else should be too. As fate should have it, after several days of burning tension in my face, neck, back, and hips I caved, and the next thing I knew I had a jar of Fire Balm waltz its way into my cabinet of stoner wonder.
Time for Tinctures: Spiked Flamingo Product Review
Written By Rob Sanchez
Tinctures have not been part of my cannabis connoisseurship efforts until this year. I’ve been trying some different consumption methods as I experiment with my cannabis moderation and medication. I decided to try switching temporarily from concentres as my go-to consumption method to tincture, and the results have been interesting.
FLORA+BAST SEX Gummy Product Review
Written By Kelly Fredrick
As the gummy did its thing, about 30 - 40 minutes after we ate them, the room took on a hazy glow, and a gentle hum of relaxation wrapped around me like a cozy blanket. All my senses were on full alert, making even the mundane sounds of the night seem like pillow talk. My lips tingled and I felt relaxed and at ease, sated. And then… there it was – a burst of laughter, spontaneous and infectious.
HIGHNMIGHTY Elevates Your Skin Care
Written By Casey Renteria
CBD-infused skin care products have always felt boujee to me. I will never turn down a chance to try it though, and these cute little travel-size products stole my heart. If I didn’t have kids I would probably leave them out. The earthy accents and gold tones just make my little hippy heart happy.
Profound Naturals Is The Smell of Nostalgia
Written By Casey Renteria
I’ve used my fair share of CBD tinctures and full-spectrum products. This wasn’t like either of those; more of a gentle balance between happiness and calm. I’m not going to say it was a traditional “high” but more like CBD with a little pizzazz. It’s just calming enough to keep you from raging on your kids while simultaneously making their shrieks of laughter sound a little bit sweeter.
Elevate Your Grind One Turn at a Time with Bear Grinder
Written By Rob Sanchez
To get the most out of your flower, roll even joints, and pack full bowls, getting a consistent grind is key. Breaking down flower by hand only gets you so far when the herb is sticky and fresh, and believe me it should be sticky and fresh. Selecting the right grinder can be difficult with so many options on the shelves.
For those looking for a top-shelf end-all-be-all solution or the next high-quality material piece for their collection, look no further than the Bear Grinder.

FLYT EDIBLES ARE MY SILVER BULLET
Written By Casey Renteria
I found several packs of micro-dosed edibles wrapped up sweetly in a drawstring bag. I’m embarrassed to admit I squealed like a kid in a candy store. I was hoping these would make a great companion to my morning coffee. The low dose really intrigued me. I was approaching these with let's say hopeful skepticism. That quickly changed a couple of hours later.
The Exxus Go Plus Vaporizer Changed My Mind About Dabbing
Written By Isabella DeChard
I must admit, I’m a huge flower girl – there is nothing like a traditional joint.
It really wasn’t until I got to college my freshman year that I dabbled in dabbing – I moved into a student apartment with three others I had never met and on move-in day I watched my one older roommate carry in a giant glass rig and a blow torch.
When the electronic dab rig era emerged years back, my interest was recollected. I watched as my cannaisseur friends smoked with such ease and gawked over the delicious, terpy tastes of their wax.
The Flower Mill Grinder: A Ganjier Review
Written By Rob Sanchez
“As we all know, the grinder is an essential piece of the cannabis consumer’s toolkit. From plastic to wood to steel with varying designs and complexity, a grinder does what it has always done, breaking down delicious trichome covered buds for consumption. As the cannabis industry has evolved, every aspect of the toolkit has as well, but what about the grinder? The only real innovation over the years has been the kief-catching screen and different shaped teeth or materials.
This is where the Flower Mill comes in. I've been using the Premium Stainless Steel Flower Mill along with the milling plate kit since Emerald Cup last year, and it has found a way into my regular kit these days. Aptly named with a cool flower/mandala logo and crispy clean packaging it “mills” instead of “grinds”, creating a very even product ready for rolling up. “
“Burmese Mimosa” Strain Review
Written By Shelley Peebles
“I’ve been hearing a lot lately about Sol Spirit Farms, and I was wondering what all the talk was about. When I had the chance to review their cannabis, I decided I had to meet the people behind the weed. This review begins with a story, set in idyllic Trinity County, California, in a little town called Willow Creek.
The cannabis scene was much different then, and legalization had not happened yet. Judi attended college and graduated with a degree in physical therapy. Walter was more of a free spirit, but they both followed the Grateful Dead all over the US. When they met, it was at a Jerry Garcia memorial in LA in 1995.
Judi and Walter have set up a beautiful regenerative farm tucked into the mountains, where they work with the terroir of the area to produce some of the county’s finest sun-grown cannabis.”
Herbie My (New) Love
Product Review By Casey Renteria
I like to think I’m an active person, at least four days out of the week. After working out, my back becomes so uncomfortably tight that it causes headaches, neck pain, and cramps. I take my self-care seriously, and one constant ordeal is tight muscles.
I love topicals for muscle recovery post-workout for this reason. I have found that it is a critical key in my recovery. Although I have so many lotions, potions, rubs, and balms I am still kind of picky about my topicals, since I use them multiple times a week.
One day, while doom scrolling on LinkedIn, I came across a post featuring Herbie Pain Balm. I knew right then and there, there wasn't a doubt in my mind, I wanted to get my hands on it. Or more like 'get it on me!
A Ganjier review of Whitethorn Rose, grown by Huckleberry Hill Farms
Written By Shelley Peebles
Nestled among the redwoods of Southern Humboldt County, California - between Briceland and Whitethorn, lies a small, quaint farm. Johnny Casali and Rose Moberly of Huckleberry Hill Farms, known for producing some of the finest craft cannabis California has to offer, tend to vegetables, fruit trees, sheep, and several craft cannabis cultivars including the Whitethorn Rose.
Genetically speaking, the Whitethorn Rose is a cross between Lemon OG x Paradise Punch (aka Fruit Loops). This is way more complex and layered than a lot of other cultivars I have tried.

Loving Yourself Is As Easy As 1 2 3
Written By Casey Renteria
I have always reserved edibles for pain management. Well, I used to until recently; Having food allergies makes finding edibles I can eat almost impossible. This is why I was thrilled when I found Love You Three – discovering it was women-owned and operated was a bonus! After learning more about the brand, I was curious to see if these edibles would do more for me than just manage my pain.

Herban Bud: Product Review By Varsha Hyland
Review Written by Varsha Hyland
When the editors at Fat Nugs Magazine asked for a review of Herban Bud’s products, I was intrigued. I’ve tried THC and CBD, but this review was my first foray into hydrogenated and derivative cannabinoid products.
The products I received from Herban Bud included THCa flower and concentrate, as well as a disposable vape containing an oil blend consisting of an HHC base. The “Euphoria” vape contained THCp, followed by some THC-O, just enough THCjd, and "a dash of Delta-8."
Having only used CBD flower or oils as an alternative to THC when I was worried about getting drug tested for work, the Herban Bud haul was my first time experiencing a high from these alternative cannabinoids.
I Reached a New Level With Wyatt Purp
Written By Scarlet Weaver
When I saw the little square box from Wyatt Purp on my table, I may or may not have turned into a hyped-up toddler. I’m sure I was the most annoying person in the room, but hey, cannabis gets me excited. It might as well have been Christmas for me because the anticipation I had was unbearable. Alas, I am a grown adult, not a toddler, and I was ready for the sweet embrace of my old, familiar love. After my recent tolerance break, this package was much needed.
I’ll admit, at first sight I was extremely skeptical about how well any of these products would work. Coming from Alaska where cannabis is a way of life, I had never encountered hemp-derived D9. I know at times hemp gets a bad rap, but I was intrigued to say the least. Would this experience be the same as what I was used to? I am grateful to say that Wyatt Purp has left a great impression on me.
Nuvata Got Me Hooked
Written By Scarlet Weaver
Mom is taking the night off! This is the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw this vape. Maybe it’s the beautiful purple that has me relaxed already. Maybe it’s just that it matches my glasses. Whatever it is, this vape and I are going to become great friends.
