SUPER SOUR LEMON HAZE CBD 1:1
STRAWBERRY MANGO
ICE CREAM CAKE
Glacier Extracts prides itself on not just being pure, but being glacier pure. With investments in acquiring the most cutting-edge, high-end Cannabis extraction technologies, paired with classic mechanical extraction techniques, Glacier Extracts can consistently create pure, unadulterated cannabinoid extractions. With no added flavors, Super Sour Lemon Haze doesn't have the robust flavors of other oils – nevertheless, the potency of the oil left us with an enjoyable, uplifting buzz that carried us through hump day.
Good Titrations out of Fairbanks uses a state-of-the-art closedloop extraction process to get the best out of their concentrates. The results are oils that are purged to the minimum amount of residual hydrocarbons possible. Beginning with a strawberry flavored inhale and a noticeable mango-tasting exhale, this cart is perfect for harnessing summer vibes. The high left us giggly, energized and ready for a day of mountain climbing.

ED'S BANANA WEDDING
By Great Northern Cannabis
Ed's Banana Wedding is an indica dominant cross between Wedding Crasher and Banana Punch. The smoke is smooth and leaves a slightly sweet aftertaste after hitting you with earthy notes. Although it's an indica, this oil didn't leave us feeling sluggish. Instead, we enjoyed a mellow high without the drowsy effects we had expected. It's a great midday toke when you need a little stress relief without being weighed down. @GREATNORTHERNCANNABISAK | 74.98% THC | 1.20% TERPS
BUBBLEGUM APPLICATOR
LEAFMAGAZINES.COM
By Herban Extracts
Encased in some of the most unique packaging we have seen, Herban Extracts' Bubblegum was an exciting CO2 oil to sample. The pen-shaped syringe is equipped with a precise dosing applicator that merely needs to be twisted to distribute the perfect amount of oil. With one of the highest terpene percentages in this year's concentrate edition, the sweet, fruity smell of bubblegum was easily detected through the packaging. An indica-dominant hybrid, Bubblegum left us wonderfully relaxed and happy the moment it hit our system. @HERBANEXTRACTSALASKA 62.3% THC | 9.5% TERPS

CHONG'S BLUEBERRY
By Midnight Sun
Tommy Chong is synonymous with Cannabis, so we had high expectations when sampling Chong's Blueberry cart, a collaboration with Midnight Sun. A cross between Triple OG x Blueberry, this indica dominant hybrid produces a sweet smoke that smells exactly like a big bowl of Crunch Berries. But unlike its cereal doppelganger, this cart won't amp you up. An excellent companion to a night filled with restorative sleep, Tommy Chong's Blueberry cart will have you happily counting sheep while you slowly drift off. @TOMMYCHONGCANNABIS 68.56% THC | 2.42% TERPS

SWEET MATANUSKA
TRIANGLE JUICE
By Midnight Sun
By Herban Extracts
Midnight Sun is renowned around the state for its high quality CO2 concentrates, and its Sweet Matanuska cart is a beauty to behold. Although this is not the most potent cart we sampled, its effects were some of the hardest hitting and fastest acting. One toke of this earthy strain sent us right to sleep before we could even make it to the bed. The only minor downside to their cart was the childproof packaging that can easily outsmart even the sober stoner.
Herban Extracts' Triangle Juice has a delightful citrus aroma that emanates from the very first sniff to the last exhale. The high was a little slower to hit, but once it did, the sedating effects of the cart took hold quickly. In an instant, all of the stress we'd been shouldering seemed to melt away – as did the pizza and ice cream we DoorDashed before passing out.

CO2 extracts are considered among the cleanest forms of concentrates because by nature, CO2 is a gas at room temperature – meaning the end product will be residual solvent free. CO2 extracts generally retain a fuller and more complete Cannabinoid profile than their hydrocarbon counterparts as well.
SKYWALKER OG By Cosmic Seaweed Located on the beach in Homer, Cosmic Seaweed specializes in all things concentrates. From the vibrant sea-inspired packaging to the blue-tipped mouthpiece, it's clear that Cosmic Seaweed takes a lot of pride in their products. The Skywalker OG produced a robust cloud of puffy white smoke that was highlighted by both earthy and fruity notes. The high was somewhat slow to hit, but once it did, came on stronger than a bad Tinder date. You can expect to feel an intense cerebral high that will last for several hours. @COSMICCANNABISCOMPANY | 79.76% THC | 2.18% TERPS
