BIRTHDAY CAKE By Dabstars

Dabstars is the original Cannabis lifestyle brand that celebrates the culture of dabbing and the hashmakers pushing the limits around the world to make the best dabs. So it’s no surprise their white label line is the icing on the Birthday Cake diamonds and sauce, which oozes with creamy citrus terps and a doughy finish on the exhale that lights the candles on a you are baked cake.

@DABSTARS2.0

Hydrocarbon extracts are the most common and popular form of Cannabis concentrates on today’s market. This method of extraction utilizes solvents such as butane and propane to remove the desirable components – cannabinoids and terpenes – from the plant material. These extracts are then purged to ensure the removal of any residual solvent and that nothing but pure Cannabis oil is left over. Hydrocarbon extracts are highly diverse and can exist in a wide variety of consistencies and textures, as well as made from both cured or fresh frozen material – the latter of which is classified as “live resin” when in its final form.

GUAVA JELLY LIVE RESIN JEWELS ‘N’ JUICE By Bodhi High

Everyone loves cat videos, and taking fat dabs of this sumptuous gassy diamonds and sauce can either lead to hours on YouTube watching kittens, or rolling around on the floor pretending to be a kitten.

DJ SHORT BLUEBERRY BHO By Hellavated

Born and bred in Washington, the DJ Short Blueberry is the originally fruity strain that is honored wonderfully with this berry-forward crumble.

SOUR ORANGE COLD CURED LIVE RESIN

By Oleum

Always pushing new techniques, the cold cure refers to fresh harvested flower that is cured traditionally in a cold environment, then processed as live resin (super cold extraction) that allows a broader group of terpenes and cannabinoids to develop, versus fresh frozen traditional live resin. This cured Sour Orange brings a robust orangeylemon-cream that rises above an earthy gas finish, which brightens when dabbed to deliver a vibrant citrus exhale and a sharp mind – focused but still giggly, under pressure sativa high.

PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM LIVE RESIN SLUSHEE By Bodhi High

Icy white crystals waft out a rich and thick aroma that is nutty and complex, carrying flavors not often found in Cannabis, with the best flavor analogy being a lemon meringue peanut butter kush sandwich, which we would definitely eat. When dabbed, the vapor has a jelly-like sappiness that lingers on the palate as the indica effects blossom from the chest outwards – wrapping around the body like petals on a very stoned flower.

@BODHI.HIGH.EXTRACTS 81% THC, 5.6% TERPENES LIVE WHITE TRUFFLE BADDER

By Lifted Cannabis

Pure OG gas is softened with a hint of vanilla-lemon and an unmistakable dash of truffle oil that together smells good enough to cook with (think stoney truffle fries). But we saved the heat for a low temp dab, which releases a sweeter fruity vapor that gently fills the lungs, sending the body floating off into sweet relaxation – as the mind breaks free to daydream of where to find those fries nearby.

GELATO CAKE By Agro Couture

Golden diamonds glisten with terpy sauce that fills the air like a bakery full of hazy vanilla and gassy berries. While we can’t eat this tasty cake, we cooked it on low temp in our banger and were rewarded with a tart berry-frosting vapor that delivers a celebratory, mood elevating indica high that had us lit like a birthday candle.

WIZARD STONES

By Oleum

Oleum has been leading the way in Washington’s concentrate market from medical to recreational, and they truly deserve credit for bringing THCA diamonds, aka their aptly named Wizard Stones, to market first in this state – paving the way for so many yummy extracts we love today. Shining bright because they are diamonds, these stones will get you infinitely high, and in the pure form have a light, almost flavorless vapor that rushes into the lungs – flooding the body and mind with the most raw and powerful THC high available.

JELLY BREATH

By Passion Flower

Breath strains are known for evoking a feeling of wind passing into the lungs, opening airways and filling the palate with a fresh, sugary-sweet citrus reminiscent of a lemon jelly bean. This pesticide tested golden sap releases a deeper mix of flavors, with a hint of garlic that blends into the fresh citrus, exhaling into a peaceful and meditative sativa high.

63% THC, 9.4% TERPENES 78% TOTAL CANNABINOIDS DOUBLE DABS GLOOKIEZ & OREOZ By OZ Gardenz x Xtracted

We love this two-in-one dab combination that combines OZ Gardenz’s amazing small batch craft flower with Xtracted’s legendary processing skills, which combine for a super unique dab experience with two gassy, in your face strains. Popping the jar unleashes a pungent wave of citrus sour funk, with the Glookiez having a sweeter-citrus fuel and the Oreoz adding a richer, sour-cookies blast. After trying both separately we went all in, loading each side of the banger with a small glob, blasting the two off together in a low temp combo that blends into a mind melting, tingly toes and heavy nose indica buzz.

@OZ_GARDENZ @X_TRACTED 65.34% THC, 10.72% TERPENES SLEESTACK DIAMONDS & SAUCE

By Lifted Cannabis

There’s nothing more beautiful than a giant diamond glistening in a puddle of sauce, and this high terpene extract brings a supremely bright piney-citruscreamy-zest that smells invigorating. When dabbed the terps add a beautiful sappy flavor atop the THCA, which brings a huge high that is energetic and euphoric like the Sleestack terps, but with that heavy THCA kiss that keeps the feet stonily on the ground as the mind spins freely.
