RĒL is the Real Deal in Oregon!

Image
RĒL Cannabis Oregon If you live in Oregon than you have a wealth of options when it comes to higher THC vape cartridges.  I've tried many and there is a new one I would like to tell you about.I had the good fortune to be able to try out the RĒL 710 disposable vape pen recently!  The distillate I tried was a sour diesel -- and it was great! It was powerful: in THC 70's range.  It tasted like diesel from the natural terpenes RĒL uses in its products.  I was struck by the natural taste and a powerful impact a few minutes after exhaling a huge cloud of vapor from the sweet little 710! RĒL 710 The 710 has a ceramic coil and is filled with one gram of great THC or CBD oil.  The one I had was THC as CBD does nothing for me. Here are some major pluses of the RĒL 710 vape pen: Smooth Draws Large Draws Didn't get clogged Was able to vape all the oil in the cartridge Discreet Rechargeable mini USB Long battery life Price range- 40-50 bucks As a long...

Select CBD Review...

Image
Select CBD Promotion Materials I suffer from PTSD and from arthritic pain.  My state, Oregon allows me to get a medical cannabis card for these conditions and it helps me greatly.  My main experience has been with THC though.  Select Cannabis Oil makes my favorite high THC vaporizer cartridges in Oregon.  I've been trying to get some for review on this blog.  They told me they can't give away THC cartridges, but that they would send me some CBD products to test and review.  They sent me some vape pens and some tinctures to test out and review for you all.  CBD is non-psychoactive and does not get people high. I had the good fortune to receive a box of CBD products from Select oil last month.  I am excited because I have not had the opportunity to try CBD in any real quantity for a period of time.  CBD is something I had not had a chance to try--it is expensive and I have not seen scientific studies that confirm results for pain and ...

Image
Hush --if you don't know the name--you soon will.  They are an artisan cannabis product company that produces fine BHO products among other things. They use locally grown organic product to create some of the best tasting BHO cartridges on the Oregon market.   You can get their BHO cartridges at your local dispensary.  If they don't carry Hush--tel them to get with it!

I was in for a treat. The taste is intense, sweet and strong.

Hush Canna BHO Cartridge Review: Sour Diesel

Image
Sour Diesel has been a favorite of mine since I discovered it.  I love the sativa rush--right to my head--it can be like a freight train sometimes--BOOM!  And I'm off working on some project with a focus that can otherwise be purchased. Here is what Leafly says about Sour Diesel: Sour Diesel, sometimes called Sour D, is an invigorating  sativa  named after its  pungent ,  diesel -like aroma. This fast-acting strain delivers  energizing , dreamy cerebral effects that have pushed Sour Diesel to its legendary status.  Stress ,  pain , and  depression  fade away in long-lasting relief that makes Sour Diesel a top choice among medical patients. This strain took root in the early 90's with cannabis breeder Chem Dog, and it is believed to have descended from  Chemdawg , Northern Lights , and a  Skunk   phenotype .    Source:  https://www.leafly.com/sativa/sour-diesel Leafly's Sour Diesel Strai...

Hush Cannabis Cartridge Review:Rumple

Image
Company logo. I recently had the opportunity and pleasure of testing a new BHO product from a relatively new company in Oregon. The company's name is Hush and you should be on the lookout for them.  They are on Instagram as @hushcanna and their website is here:  http://hushcanna.com/ . Taken from the Hush Web site. They left me a sample at a local dispensary.  It was their Rumple .5 gram BHO cartridge. Hush has great packaging and design. Hush Rumple is produced by http://greensourcegardens.com/ (Their specialty is growing via polyculture).   I have this information because Hush has a policy of: "At Hush we believe you should always know where your product comes from. We source from farmers that share the same values. This includes sustainable practices, organic methods, and a deep respect for all the people that bring plants from seed to sale."  Slick design and packaging make for a good experience. Hush cartridges come in these c...
