SOLVENT-FREE CARTRIDGES

Frank Dailey of Boston Bud Factory announced two of their recent product launches, with the first being solvent-free cartridges. These Boston Bud Free cartridges are strain specific and contain only extracts derived from cannabis biomass. “Terpenes are extracted from the same biomass and then added back in to create the desired consistency for vaping,” and are some of the cleanest on the market, said Dailey. Cartridges are available in .5 gram sizes for $34.95 - $39.95, and 1-gram sizes for $74.95. “When you want high quality at low prices you go straight to the factory, Boston Bud Factory.”

The second product recently offered by Boston Bud Factory is Solventless Rosin, made from natural cannabis flower. Dailey said, “Rosin is naturally extracted from the flower using only heat and pressure. The terpene profiles of our strain specific rosin provide a delicious dabbing experience.” This product is available in .5g sizes for $35-$40, and 1g sizes for $75. “If you’re looking for the cleanest dab with the greatest flavor, give the Boston Bud Factory rosin a try,” said Dailey.

FATTY LIGHT

Goodbye Cigars, Hello These Things. Three gram pre-rolled cigar-ish oversized joints with a bamboo filter and top rated flower meant to be tossed in, say, the side compartment of a golf bag, or perhaps in the stretchy part of the calf-socks golfers used to wear 100 years ago if you’re into classic golf cosplay. That’s what’s at play here, the way you’ll be at play after driving long and then diving hot and fast into one of these to celebrate doing things right on the fairway. AVAILABLE AT CANNA PROVISIONS HOLYOKE

If anyone deserves the power of concentrates, it’s a mom or a dad. More and more people are turning to the portability, discretion, and increasingly diverse range of top shelf concentrate products. So if dad wants something to slip in his slacks or mom isn’t afraid of a vape since she has enough bath bombs to bomb the moon out of orbit, pick up something with some pep like the Fernway Snow Dog vape cart and battery, or land one a Lookah portable electronic dab pen at Canna Provisions. Paired with the first ever drop of Live Hash Rosin using Smash Hits cannabis strains (Chem91, Wonka Bars, Tangieland, Starwdawg), as part of a partnership with Treeworks in West Hatfield, means any dad interested in dabs while out on the links, or while hiking, or whenever high terps and pure essence of cannabis captured in this concentrate of Chemdog flower grown in the Berkshires is desired.

HIDDEN HEMLOCK

Thomas Keenan, CEO of Cannabis Connection, said they are excited to be carrying some new brands and products, fit for anyone. The first products are flower and pre-rolls by Hidden Hemlock, a family-owned microbusiness based in Westfield. “They produce the cleanest, most natural and chemical-free flower by growing in 100 percent organic soil and following organic pest management practices throughout the entire process,” said Keenan. He added that the two brothers hand select strains that they feel are worthy of sharing with others and that they enjoy smoking themselves. “They offer heirloom strains that have been resurrected from the archives as well as new, offbeat crosses,” said Keenan. Hidden Hemlock flower costs between $55 to $65, and pre rolls cost $15. TREEWORKS

The second brand that recently hit the shelves at Cannabis Connection is Treeworks. “Treeworks, known for their award-winning tinctures, has entered the concentrates market as they recently launched their highly anticipated Live Hash Rosin Dabs and Vape Carts,” said Keenan. “Solventless Live Hash Rosin is made without chemical solvents using only fresh frozen cannabis, ice water, low heat and pressure. Extracting live cannabis flower captures certain volatile terpenes that would normally be lost using dried cured material.” The result is a flavorful, fragrant and potent premium concentrate, Keenan explained. “Stop in Cannabis Connection of Westfield to pick one up before it sells out!” Pricing for Treeworks Live Hash Rosin products are as follows: $45 for a half gram, $90 for a full gram and $60 for a 500mg Vape Cart.

SLEEPY EDIBLES

Lewis Goldstein from Insa said, “For lots of us, a good night’s sleep can feel like a distant memory. However, good sleep is necessary for anyone to be on top of their game both mentally and physically. Fortunately, Insa has a new line of products designed to help its customers get the restful sleep they so desperately need.” Goldstein shared that Insa’s Black Cherry Sleep Drops take their best-selling drops, covered in a fine dusting of sugar and made with real fruit, and add a new twist. “These drops have 5mg of Insa’s high-quality THC along with added melatonin to lull users off to sleep,” said Goldstein. “Insa’s new Milk Chocolate Sleepy Bar features decadent European chocolate infused with THC and melatonin and is sure to give you sweet dreams.” Both the Drops and the Chocolate Bar retail for $30 each.

SPRING SEASONALS

“Dreading spring cleaning already? The spring is a time to take an external and internal inventory of all the things that need sprucing up. Luckily, Insa has an exciting new spring collection of limited releases that focuses on good vibes and good-for-you ingredients,” said Goldstein. “Insa’s Superfruit Citrus Drops are a mouthwatering blend of exotic cacao fruit and natural citrus juices that deliver a slightly sour and deliciously zesty edible infused with 5mg THC per piece.” While cacao beans are typically used in chocolate, the cacao fruit has become more popular based on its levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. On the vaporizer front, Goldstein said they are introducing their brand-new Peaches & Crème. “The flavors of juicy, ripe peaches are complimented perfectly with rich pound cake and whipped cream. You’ll be shocked how so much flavor is packed into such a small pod.” “Finally, for those drinking a minimum of three cups of coffee a day, Insa has the all-new Coffee & Donuts Chocolate Bar.” This milk chocolate bar is blended with Shelburne Falls Espresso and Columbian coffee roasts. “We took it to the next level incorporating natural dough flavors, dusting it with cinnamon sugar, and adding 5mg of THC per piece – like a real donut, but better,” said Goldstein. He added that the taste will remind you of your favorite coffee shop— “robust, bold coffee notes paired perfectly with freshly made donuts.” While this limited edition flavor won’t last long—get it while you can! The Superfruit Citrus Drops and the Coffee and Donuts bar retail for $30. The Peaches and Cream 500mg Carts and Darts retails for $55 each, and the pens 350mg costs $40.

GIANT DOUBLE SEA SALT CARAMEL BAR

Insa is incredibly excited to share the big news of a chocolate edible offering coming up in May. “Like something out of Willy Wonka’s factory, this giant bar is composed of 100 1mg pieces,” meaning that each piece is less potent compared to Insa’s regular chocolate bars, Goldstein said. This new format offers more THC per bar, and a more controlled way of microdosing. “This bar is made with pure ivory chocolate that is caramelized during the conching process (mixing process at high heat) to bring out the natural color and flavor of salted caramel. It is then infused with crunchy bits of salted caramel sugar for a pleasant crunch,” said Goldstein. He continued, “This is a great Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift for the parent looking to start their edible journey at their own pace. With only 1mg per piece, it encourages microdosing with one triangle at a time, along with more distinct portion control. Perfect for parents looking to take a little edge off without losing their edge all together.”
