Grape Pie Fresh Presh by Decibel Farms

Decibel Farms focuses on truly sustainable cultivation practices for all of their single source products. From the organic and natural inputs for their soil, to the hemp boxes with plant-based ink, it's obvious that the team at Decibel puts sustainability at the top of their priorities. In addition to their commitment to sustainability, they also hunt through thousands of genetics to bring loud and unique cultivars to market to meet the ever changing needs of patients and consumers in Oregon.

This Decibel Farms Grape Pie (Cherry Pie x Grape Stomper) 90u fresh press hash rosin had a grape candy aroma that reminded me of the grape syrup used to make snow cones 🍇🍭 Quite unique and complex with notes of earthy funk coming through as well.

The fresh press came neatly presented as a viscous coin and was pretty easy to work with. The nose was pretty subtle straight out of the fridge but once it warmed up, and especially with a good stir, the smell came out nicely. The rosin changed from a semi-translucent coin to a shiny budder as it matured and took on a smooth texture and strong smell.

The flavor translated very well with strong grape candy dominating the profile. I found the funky earth notes were more pronounced in the dab and it was quite smooth 👌🏼 I really enjoyed the profile on this Grape Pie and the taste was more robust than the nose 😋

The effects were strong and stoney giving me a slightly stupefying head change and sedating full body relaxation 🤗 I found the Grape Pie to be quite helpful for unwinding and getting ready for bed 😴

Overall I really enjoyed this Grape Pie hash rosin from Decibel Farms. The aroma was unique and complex, the flavor was fresh and robust, and the medicinal properties were potent 👍🏼

Espresso Bean-Albino Louisiana Chocolate Bar by Grincredible

Today I have the pleasure of bringing you all a review of a unique psilocybin product 🍄

This Grincredible Espresso Bean-Albino Louisiana chocolate bar is made from Lillie Belle organic fair trade chocolate and Cafe Mam organic fair trade espresso beans and contains an extract made from Albino Louisiana fruits cultivated by Psilocyence Mycology 🤯

I took one square of chocolate, the equivalent of about 0.2g of Albino Louisianas, for my microdose. This is a bit more than my standard microdose but since the chocolate bar is scored into 10 squares I decided it was easiest just to take one square as my dose and see how it would effect me for the review 🕵️

As far as the chocolate bar itself, the dark chocolate and espresso beans make an excellent flavor combination and I didn't notice any mushroom taste whatsoever 👌🏼 Both the chocolate and the espresso beans were absolutely delicious 😋

The effects of the microdose were just right for me and provided a nice body buzz and mild euphoria without being too disorienting. The effects came on quickly and lasted for a few hours. After the buzz wore off I was left feeling relieved of anxiety and with an elevated mood. The after effects lasted until my next dose, which was great 😁

I tested taking a dose both on an empty stomach and after a light meal and I preferred taking it with food. Given that the dose I took is a bit more than my standard microdose, this makes sense. I found the effects to be less intense while still providing all the medicinal value I needed.

Overall I had an excellent experience with this Grincredible chocolate bar 👍🏼 Everything about it feels craft and high quality, the medicinal effects were perfect for me and the chocolate bar itself was fantastic 🙌🏼 From the recyclable packaging and the hand written ingredients list to the high quality organic local ingredients infused with single source psilocybin extract, you can really feel the love and attention to detail that went into making this craft product.

CBG rich Tangies and Cream RCO by FFEPDX

This FFEPDX x Cannasenntials CBG rich Tangies and Cream RCO had a strong orange Tangie nose when I unscrewed the cap, just like the standard version. The color was very light yellow with perfect clarity.

The flavor was strong orange Tangie gas that tingled my nose when dabbing. I didn't notice any generic flavor to this RCO and it also didn't have any off taste like the CBN rich RCO I reviewed. Quite good flavor on this mixed extract actually 👍🏼 I do have to note that it did leave a little harshness in my throat after dabbing though.

The high was uplifting and clearheaded while also being nice and medicinal. I found the effects to be a bit different than the standard version of this RCO but I'm not sure if preferred them. They felt lighter in some ways, kinda less mood enchantment and more clear headed, but also more medicinal in others.

Of course I tried some of this RCO in capsules to see how that would go. I found the effects to be very medicinal while not being particularly stoney. The CBG rich RCO kept pain away and also gave me a general sense of wellness and relaxation without any couch lock of sleepiness. Great daytime meds for me.

Overall I found this CBG rich RCO to be quite medicinal, especially in capsules, and the flavor was very good for a mixed cannabis & hemp extract. The effects worked well for me during the day and it definitely gave me a unique high. I'm curious what other patients' experiences have been with high CBG products 🕵️ Leave a comment and let me know if you have tried CBG rich RCO or something like it.

Hash Rosin Decarb Tutorial

Today I'm doing a tutorial on how to use hash rosin purchased from your local dispensary to make your own solventless edibles or cannacaps at home. Before you can use rosin to make edibles or cannacaps, you need to put it through the decarb (decarboxylation) process. This can be done by applying heat for extended periods of time using a flat top or conventional oven. In this tutorial I'll be walking you through the steps I use to decarb rosin at home and infuse it into liquid coconut oil. You can use this method to infuse your favorite homemade treats or make solventless cannacaps.

For this tutorial you are going to need 1 gram of hash rosin (I used a gram of B.A. Botanicals Chem 91 hash rosin that was obtained from Archive PDX and contained 664mg of THC.), at least 2 ml of liquid coconut oil (instructions for determining the amount needed are below), an oven safe glass dish, a dab tool/whisk/fork to stir, and a flat top or oven.

Ok, let's get to it. First, preheat your flat top or oven to 225°f. I prefer a flat top because it allows me to watch the concentrate as it's decarbing and easily stir when needed. While your heat source is preheating, scoop your gram of hash rosin into the oven safe glass dish. Once the preheat is complete, put the glass dish with rosin on the flat top/in the oven and heat for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rosin should completely stop producing bubbles by the end. Once the rosin is decarbed, mix in your liquid coconut oil and stir until thoroughly homogenized. That's it! Your infused oil is now ready to use in your favorite recipe or to be put into capsules 😊

How to calculate THC/per serving:
Since you know the total amount of THC in the hash rosin, simply divide the total THC going into the recipe by the servings in the recipe to determine mg/serving. If the dose is higher or lower than desired, adjust your recipe or the amount of rosin you use until you reach your desired outcome.

Determining how much liquid coconut oil to use:
In order determine how much liquid coconut oil you will need, first decide what you will be doing with your infused oil. For infusing your favorite recipes, simply use the amount of oil the recipe calls for (Infused oil can substitute for butter in many recipes). For cannacaps, please refer to my cannacap tutorial for calculating your recipe.

 

Point Break RCO by FFEPDX

This FFEPDX x Grown Rogue Point Break (Tropicana Cookies x Trophy Wife) RCO had a light gassy smell when I unscrewed the cap. The oil had great clarity with a solid yellow tint too it.

The Point Break had a strong gassy orange flavor with a slight generic taste to it that tingled my nose when dabbing. I found the profile to be pretty nice and true to Point Break I've had in the past. There was some harshness to note that lingered after dabbing but it was pretty smooth overall.

The high was quite strong and stoney in my head with some nice full body relief 🤗 I found this RCO to be very potent and some great night time meds for me. Great complexity to the high and not lacking at all 💪🏼

To test the Point Break as oral medicine, I took a capsule filled about halfway full with the RCO. The effects were very relaxing and kept me totally pain free. The high was probably better suited for nighttime meds as it was pretty heavy and made me want to take a nap in the middle of the day (not that that's not normal for me 😅).

Overall I actually enjoyed this Point Break RCO a lot more than I thought I would. As you know if you have been following closely with my reviews, I generally use this type of oil as affordable oral medicine as opposed to a dabbable. However this RCO was quite tasty with only minimal generic flavor and a little harshness left behind. It was also very potent with great medicinal effects. I'm still planning to use the rest in capsules, but if you are shopping for something to dab in this price point I definitely have to recommend checking out this Point Break RCO from FFEPDX.

Tangies and Cream FECO2 by FFEPDX

Since I'd previously used the Tangies and Cream FECO2 for multiple weeks as daily meds, with great results, I decided to try some stronger doses with the FECO2 I got to review. I made ten capsules out of a gram of FECO2 resulting in 71.5mg THC per capsule. This is a medium dose for me and usually provides strong medicinal effects without fully intoxicating me.

This FFEPDX x Cannassentials Tangies and Cream FECO2 gave me a strong uplifting clear headed high with great medicinal full body effects that didn't couch lock me 🤗 The medium dose capsules kept my pain at bay and were a great mood enhancer for me 😊 I also want to note that I found the FECO2 to be more medicinal for me than the RCO I reviewed made from the same cultivar.

Overall the Tangies and Cream FECO2 was great medicine for me 🤗 This single variety extract was amazing for daytime use and definitely one of my favorites I've gotten from FFE 🙌🏼
