THE CONCENTRATES ISSUE
cartridges SELECT ELITE LIVE LEMONBERRY KUSH CLIQ POD ONE OF the national leaders in high-potency cartridges for the better part of a decade, Select and its parent company, Curaleaf, could easily choose to rest on their laurels as the company to beat – yet they continue to innovate. Their new Cliq pod cartridge system gives a sleek home to their popular Elite Live high-terpene oil, and the tech provides a smooth-hitting, reliable alternative to the traditional 510-threaded cartridges that are the market standard. 90.97% Total Cannabinoids | 87.47% THC selectcannabis.com @select.better | Review by Tom Bowers @cannabombtom
HALARA EARTHDAY CAKE LIVE DIAMOND SAUCE HALARA MEANS to “take it easy” in Greek. Based out of Santa Rosa, this live diamond sauce is a special collab with the One Tree Planted charity – part of their ongoing limited-release series, where each cartridge sold equals another new tree planted. Earthday Cake is a proprietary blend of Lucid Blue and THC Bomb, and the flavor is just as they describe. Earthy yet sweet with just a touch of funk on the backend, the pleasant hybrid experience makes this an excellent choice for day or nighttime activities. Not to mention you’ll feel good knowing that thousands of new trees have been planted by consuming Cannabis. 86.8% Total Cannabinoids | 84% THC | 2% CBG | 7% Terpenes | 2.32% b-Myrcene 1.5% b-Caryophyllene | 1.01% d-Limonene | gohalara.com @gohalara Review by Matt Jackson @actionmattjackson
CHEMISTRY PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE LIVE TERP CART

CHEMISTRY SIGNALS its commitment to its name in a number of ways, perhaps most obviously evidenced by their insistence in listing the entire major cannabinoid and terpenoid testing profiles on the packaging for their line of tasty vape carts. Flip over the box for their Pineapple Upside Down Cake cart and preview the entourage effect while you sip the vapor. This ocimene and b-caryophyllene rich cart, made with sungrown flower from Mendocino cultivator Radicle Herbs, offers a significant amount of tropical fruit flavor – like inhaling a banana piña colada smoothie. 85.4% Total Cannabinoids | 76.3% THC trychemistry.com @trychemistry | Review by Tom Bowers @cannabombtom

PLUGPLAY OGKB LIVEST CARTRIDGE OPENING THE BOX for one of PlugPlay’s proprietary batteries dishes up a dose of nostalgia – it’s like pulling a VHS tape out of its sleeve. The tech inside is anything but archaic, however. PlugPlay’s cartridge pod and battery duo delivers some of the largest clouds we’ve seen on the legal Cannabis market. Available in multiple formulations, their DNA line is made with original strain-specific terpenes, their Livest line is made from flash-frozen, fresh-harvested flower, and their Exotics line is for when you want fruit-flavored blends. 78.36% THC | plugplay.com @iamplugplay Review by Tom Bowers @cannabombtom

HASH AND FLOWERS GMO, STRAWNANA AND HONEY BANANAS ROSIN PODS HASH AND FLOWERS has been making waves amongst dabbers across the state for their extremely terp-forward single-source hash rosins, and are now rolling out the on-the-go version with their proprietary solventless rosin pods. The GMO is next-level funky, the Strawnana is a fruit bomb with some nice gassy undertones, and the Honey Bananas is, to put it lightly, surreal. These pods taste amazing, can go anywhere and are highly effective – win, win, win. hashandflowers.com @hashandflowers | Review by Nate Williams @natew415
