Zion Botanicals Kratom and Honey

Sustainable Himalayan Honey blended with kratom extract.

The real story here is the Himalayan honey. The flavor is divine. The harvesting of honey there is much different than in the American Honey trade. They harvest the honey from wild nests on the trees on their farms—none of the traditional boxes we see at farms and in back yards of American suburbs.

By itself, it’s sweet with very little aftertaste.

The easiest and fastest way to enjoy it was in Green Tea. One cup, and I felt great.

The color is a rich gold. The taste is really good for something with kratom in it.

The best way I found to get over the taste was to put the packet in some fried chicken skin. That made it the best-tasting kratom supplement I ever tried. Who doesn't love some fried chicken and honey right?

I had to call and get some more to test one other way of preparing it, CHEWY GINGER HONEY COOKIES

It’s a holiday cookie with a great spiced flavor. I went heavy on ginger and cinnamon. We adjusted the cooking temperature to 160 and let them bake for a few minutes longer. In the end, the flavor was actually really good. We made a dozen cookies with three servings in the whole batch.

Cookies and milk, anyone?

It worked! Same great effect but a whole new, more enjoyable way to consume Kratom!

As always, when you shop with Zion, you're doing business with a company that can answer all your questions and point you in the right direction when selling their products.

Smoke Odor

Recently, we in the Dankman household had to face the simple facts… We smoke a lot of medicinal herbs. Every delivery driver, solar solicitor, tree removal expert, lawn care company rep, and every guest said the same thing: your house smells great, in very sarcastic terms…

This means that the overwhelming scent is herbal. It didn’t matter when we last smoked; it seemed the house was permeated with the smell. We took this chance to do a complete deep clean and see how well that would dispel the smell. Well, it doesn’t last long.

So, what does a family do if they want to have a fresher-smelling house but don’t want to go “outside” to enjoy a joint? There are a ton of smell-good things.

Incense… ugh, dust everywhere. Plug-ins waste electricity.

Candles add ambiance and pleasant aromas. Daily aromatherapy is very good for the spirit in us all!

Sprays can be fast and frequent. Bathrooms and guests at the door…

The newest scents we tested were Gummies and Magic Mushrooms.

Gummies are sweet and fruity, and that scent definitely came through. We definitely enjoyed this more than most.

I was glad Magic Mushrooms did not smell like the actual dung-loving FUNgi. The scent was flush with delicate hints of the exotic East. The wax is a nice purple color. The label hides a secret that is pretty cool as well—the Label Glows in the Blacklight.

Since starting to keep the handy spray bottle next to the door, not one delivery driver has mentioned the “Herbal Smell.” So the conclusion is…

The candles are wonderful, and the spray is very effective for instantly cleaning the weed-smelling air.

Stores should all carry this amazing line of products from Smoke Odor.

We are firm believers here at CHAMPS Show Magazine.

Laserbrain Coffee

Allied Forces: Lightspeed

I make a cup of Blueberry Medium Roast Coffee for my morning start every day. It took a lot for me to give this up.

I did, for two weeks… instead of my delish black coffee… It was this…

The flavor is just okay on its own… not so bad, but definitely not my yummy hot hint of blueberry coffee.

After a couple of tries, I found a nice blend of Half and Half, Sugar, Vanilla coffee flavoring, and a splash of real coffee. It suggests food, so I paired it with a few different things. The best was Cinnamon Toast, with the second best being a blueberry muffin. The label also explained that it takes about 7 days to reach full potential. I dedicated two weeks to this…

I do not take any medications or supplements, so My body was very perceptive to this new regimen.

I wasn’t sure what to expect.

The first day was interesting. I wasn’t sure if it had any effect, but I was really productive either way.

Day two definitely caught me by surprise. The morning cup surely got the plumbing moving and got my brain churning,

They were right; it definitely peaks after the first week. On day seven, productivity and creativity were at all-time highs.

My body had adjusted to the new morning ritual very well. It was just like drinking my coffee but with the added boost of clarity and productivity that lasted a lot longer.

After the full 2 week test I would say that it was an enjoyable experiment in what nature can do for you.

I see this helping many of the people I know.

When it comes to selling this in stores… DO IT! The packaging is amazing, and the benefits are immeasurable.

Steding and Sons is always at the top of their game when it comes to packaging and promotional material. The product should sell itself! Let your staff manager test it out so they can pass on firsthand information on how well it works!

If we had a rating system over here, it would be at the top of my list of things to carry. The whole line looks great. The other new products they sent were NONASS and Lazy Legs PM. NONASS is a pre- and post-drinking supplement, and Lazy Legs is a sleeping aid-style supplement meant to help you have a more sound sleep.

HoneyStick and Cartdub and Cartdub

For most customers reading this, the HoneyStick Duo V.V. and the Box Concealer are their everyday must-haves for 4/20.

To very attractive 510 cart holders, including a Duo, which holds two carts at once, you can choose which side or BOTH!

We put these to use right away. Easy-to-use quality products that performed just the way you would expect.

The Duo is our go-to now for beach rides. I can have my Indica Live Rosin, and she can hit the Sativa! Together, you get a full hybrid of two fully flavored strains.

They also sent along one of the most unique products I have ever tested — the CartDub.

I bet you’re as intrigued as I am. It’s a full kit to take broken or half-empty carts and reuse the liquid inside it.

I had a few of these lying around, so why not test it out for them? The three broken ones I had were all locked, so the tool kit came in very handy.

They suggested setting the temperature at 190; since I had a thinner product, I set it at a slightly lower temperature for 10 minutes instead of 20. It worked like a dream! The liquid was all unharmed and waiting in the collection chamber.

I quickly siphoned it up and put it in a new cart. The mixed flavors were nice not as whacky as I expected. I give it a thumbs up.

Herbal Salvation

Gummies

Strawberry Kratom

I was excited to try something new from Herbal Salvation. Their previous products were very well formulated and efficient. The packaging looks great, and you can fit a lot of them on a shelf in a small space due to the stackability.

The gummies themselves are a vibrant red, and you smell strawberry as soon as you open the freshness seal. I popped one in and hoped for the best. A burst of strawberry hit my palate like a rocket. I was glad it was so powerful. It was pretty good, covering the kratom taste.

FAST ACTING… Wow.

When I ate one on the beach while I was doing my photo shoot, it kicked in so fast it made my head spin! (in a good way) These were on point, for sure. I would retake them again.

Voodoo 300

Andes Candies! That was the first thought I had when I read the label. It was creamier but dang, not a bad initial flavor. If you know anything about Kratom, you know the flavor is hard to hide. They hid it around the corner on the back end.

The packaging is well-designed and has a very adult feel. The flavor profile and MIT amounts are easy to read. Something I have always complained about is hiding the tiny text on the bottle!

How does it work?

Oh, ”What a feeling!” It got me dancing now. Not even a bum knee and a sore tooth could stop me.

I haven’t had a lot of really good reactions to Kratom. This was the best one in ages.

Smooth, relaxed, and a lot less aches.

Green Shores Nutra presents this product. They are not one of the big, huge monster companies, and they strive for quality customer service and personal touches. Someone always answers with a smile, you can really hear the smile through the phone.

This will be a great seller any time of year, so order now!

Formula 420 Original

Flower: Yeah, that’s what we tend to smoke here in the office. Mostly Joints and bowls. Every now and then, we break out a traditional bong. I have so many dirty pieces I thought since they were releasing a new concentrate cleaner I would remind everyone about the product that got them on the map.

The team at Formula 420 was sure to send me a sample recently, so I did this review without even telling them.

I am famous in the glass industry for getting my pipes so dirty, then putting them away and using another one. So, as you can imagine, I have some really old baked-on resinated pipes. I pulled a couple from my stash and got to work.

I tried the original and the soak cleaner.

A hammer made by Hugh Glass and a sherlock by BMFT Glass

The soak method is a little like making wine… a little work, then a long wait… then a little work. So I got it to soaking and went to clean the BMFT.

The BMFT Sherlock went into some original cleaner and I use a brush to clean with. It was solid colors so not much can be seen from the outside. I will attest the inside was clean, and the fresh, clean taste revived. This has been sitting in a case or on a shelf for over ten years. I never thought I would enjoy smoking out of it again. Now it’s my daily driver again!

Two days later, I went back to the soaking Hugh Glass Pipe. After running it under some hot water and using a little brush, it was as clean as a whistle! This is one of my all-time favorite color-changing pipes.

This just goes to prove 25 Years later, just like CHAMPS… Formula 420 works for your business!
