KGB GLASS

SARAH AND BRIAN CREATE GLASS TOGETHER.

Brian Owoc moved to Portland, Maine in 1998 and was staying at a YMCA when he got his first job working the night shift at Dunkin’ Donuts. He really

enjoyed making them, because “donuts make people happy.” During this time, he decided to rent out a section of his garage so that his friend could build a small glass studio, with the promise that the friend would teach him to blow glass.

It wasn’t long before he started to get the hang of it and decided to try and make his first Donut Bowl.

While selling his pieces of glass to local headshops, he met his girlfriend Sarah Marblesbee, who was working as a manager at one of the stores. That was 10 years ago. They now share a studio in Portland where she also blows her own glass pipes, as well as adding her business degree and background to his creativity and workaholic style.

Some glass artists teased him about making Donut Bowls, but that didn’t stop Brian. Now his Donut glass pipes, rigs and pendants are collected and sold throughout the world. Some people have accumulated more than 100 of his pieces!

Papa & Barkley THC Releaf Chocolate

What sets popular topical maker Papa & Barkley apart is their dedication to getting the simple things absolutely perfect.

When it comes to Cannabis-infused chocolates, we are certainly not starved for choice. Instead, there are now any number of options for Cannabis consumers looking to combine an affinity for sweets with a dose of THC.

But what sets popular topical maker Papa & Barkley apart is their dedication to getting the simple things absolutely perfect. Headquartered in Eureka, the Papa & Barkley crew has been churning out top-quality salves, transdermal patches and tinctures for years.

Now, on the heels of an expansion into concentrates, they’re back again with two varieties of THC-infused chocolate.

Available in Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt, each bar comes packed with 100mg of THC (5mg per serving) courtesy of solventless, fresh-pressed rosin.

This infusion technique may just seem like fancy words, but when it comes to biting off a square of Releaf chocolate, the result is that one can expect to taste the rich flavors of the chocolate itself, without any distasteful reminders of the infusion process.

For those who prefer the light stuff, Papa & Barkley’s Milk Chocolate Bar rises to the challenge while featuring 84% Fair Trade Certified™ ingredients. It also has an impressively silky texture, which only makes it all the more difficult to stop at the desired dose – which, to be clear, offers plenty of punch at its intended serving size.

The same can be said for their 66% Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Bar, which features 99% Fair Trade Certified™ ingredients with a dash of sea salt.

My personal palate favors dark chocolate and salt by default, so it was this latter option that truly won over my tastebuds. That said, both formulas are equally dosed, meaning it’s really just a matter of chocolate preference. Once again, Papa & Barkley has proven that simple is often best. Who’s hungry?

Papa & Barkley Releaf Chocolate Milk Chocolate 103mg THC/package 5.15mg THC/serving $20-$25
