DISTILLATE

MPX Blueberry Phytocannabinoid Rich Tincture This tincture combines a mix of distillate, coconut oil and natural flavoring. The blueberry flavor is unique among tinctures in the Maryland market - giving the palate a refreshing splash that’s hard to forget. One of my favorite ways to consume this tincture was placing a few droppers in a smoothie, as it can be combined with any food or drink.

@MPX_US | 200 MG THC Evermore Distillate Cartridges I tried out the Big Lemons and Kosher Kush cartridges, and was pretty impressed with both. Just like their Dart Pods, the cartridges from Evermore produce a large amount of vapor. This can be really useful when you are on a long walk or on the go and need to medicate quickly and discreetly. They can also be great for patients with mobility issues, minimizing the steps needed to inhale Cannabis.

Strane Bubba OG Cartridge Liberty’s half gram cartridges are made with distillate and Cannabis derived terpenes. They are a quick and easy way to get a dab on the go. The flavor of this cartridge reminded me of the sweet smell of lavender. The effects were calming, putting me into a nice relaxed state after a long work day.

AiroPro Distillate Cartridges Differentiating from last year’s review on AiroPro’s cartridges, these are now made with 100% Cannabis derived terpenes. I was excited to try the GG Gelato and Cinderella 99, as both were exploding with terpy deliciousness. I couldn’t put down the Cinderella 99, which had a distinctly sweet and fruity flavor. It helped me reduce my anxiety throughout the day, putting me in a perfect place to go to sleep at night.

Liberty Dose of Feeling Capsules Liberty formulates these capsules with coconut oil, distillate and different terpene blends. There are five different varieties: Vitality, Tranquility, Clarity, Serenity and Harmony. Each capsule contains 5mg of THC and between 1.5% and 2% terpenes. On a tired morning, I took two of the Vitality capsules and felt a slightly euphoric burst of energy.

Evermore Dart Pods These little pods and batteries are a discreet way to medicate on the go. The whole thing, ready to puff, is about half the size of an iPhone. This pod system is also capable of producing larger amounts of vapor than some other cartridges on the market. My favorite was the Gelato, which tasted sweet and citrusy. As a hybrid, this was perfect for just about any time of day for me.

@evermorebrands | 89% Total Cannabinoids 6-7% Terpenes Strane Dosidos Pax Pod Distillate Pax Pods by Strane are made from distillate and 100% Cannabis derived terpenes. The flavor on this pod was sweet and peppery, with an element of smoothness added from the Pax. After a few puffs I felt focused and tranquil, with an uptick in my appetite almost immediately. MPX Phytocannabinoid Rich Capsules MPX’s capsules consist of extra virgin olive oil and distillate, delivering a strong dose of medicine in a small package. I used these as a tool for sleep during anxious or uncomfortably painful nights. I began to experience pain relief and was able to fall asleep within 30 minutes to an hour of consuming one capsule.

@thisisstrane | 88.1% Total Cannabinoids | 7.06% Terpenes Verano Super Glue Distillate Cartridge One of my favorite things about Verano cartridges is how smooth of a rip they give while delivering a nice cloud, but the light color of the distillate used in these pens is another high point of appreciation. After a few hits, I felt a strong mind and body high that settled my nerves and soothed my back pain. The flavor is reminiscent of the sweet smell of a fine cologne.

STRANGE SUMMER DAYS CHOCOLATE SMOOTHIE

A strange summer this is sure to be. There are lots of things to think about - important things that may actually make the world a better, safer place. Whether you are staying home or safely venturing out, the right strain of Cannabis makes a world of difference. I’ve been enjoying Roasted Garlic Margy from Noble Farms. For me, this strain is a combination of staying clearheaded yet remaining calm. Particularly these days, I can get uncomfortably racy from a strain - but not this one. It’s the best of both worlds. #DontFearTheEdible #BlackLivesMatter

BAHN MI

In a blender combine all ingredients except the chocolate syrup. Pour into glasses and stir in a heaping tablespoon of chocolate syrup.

2 cups chocolate milk 1 banana, peeled, sliced and frozen 4 tablespoons malt powder 1 tablespoon cocoa 2 teaspoons canna-coconut oil Chocolate syrup [Serves 2] BAHN MI is a Vietnamese street snack made with a baguette and filled with a variety of ingredients. When I am in a rush, I toss the chicken with soy sauce, lime juice and canna-oil, then pile on the veggies. This sandwich is light, yet satisfying. Pro-Tip: Get the best bread you can find.

In a small bowl combine the water, lime juice, fish sauce, canna-oil, garlic, soy sauce and sugar. Place the bread on your work surface. Drizzle the cut sides with the dressing. Lay the sliced chicken breast on the sandwich and top with the shredded vegetables and any remaining sauce.

2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon lime juice 2 teaspoons fish sauce 2 teaspoons canna-oil 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 small clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon sugar 2 six-inch pieces of baguette, sliced in half horizontally 2 chicken breasts from rotisserie chicken, cooked, or thinly sliced tofu ½ cup shredded cabbage ½ cup shredded carrots Sprigs of cilantro [Serves 2]

GUACAMOLE

In a medium bowl mash the avocado. I think leaving it lumpy is a good thing. Add all the other ingredients and mix well.

AVOCADOS have become popular because of the tremendous health benefits, as well as the great taste. Guacamole is a great way to showcase this wonderful fruit, yes fruit, and medicate at the same time. Remember to keep the pit in the guac, drizzle with lemon juice and keep covered tightly with plastic wrap to preserve it.

2 large ripe avocados, soft when pressed 2 limes, juiced 4 teaspoons canna-oil ½ small red onion, diced ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro 1 small tomato, seeded and chopped (optional) Salt [Serves 4]
