Get in the Spirit

he pandemic has changed virtually every aspect of our lives. Except for this: We liked weed before, and we definitely like it now. The latest numbers from the state of Washington show that we spent $1.25 billion — yes, billion! — on cannabis products during the past fiscal year. And so, with the holidays nearly upon us, there is one gift you can safely buy with confidence for friends and family struggling with our collective ’demic daze: good ol’ pot and pot-related products.

Still, we at Green Zone know that shopping can quickly kill a good buzz — even at your friendly neighborhood dispensary — so we’re here to help. Inside you’ll find ideas for the perfect stocking stuffer and book suggestions for your literate stoner friends. We also have some suggestions for your hippie grandparents and your sophisticated mom. And it probably goes without saying: When shopping for others, it’s wise to pick up a treat for yourself, too. You deserve it! n

Stocking stuffers might be the best thing you can get your cannabis lover this year BY QUINN WELSCH

veryone loves a good stocking stuffer, whether it’s a handful of pre-rolls or a handful of candy cane-flavored Hershey Kisses (in that order). Sometimes the best things come in small packages. Here are a few low-cost ideas to fill your cannabis lover’s stocking this holiday season.

PIONEER SQUARES

Coming at 10 milligrams per dose and 10 doses per package, the Pioneer Squares contain a tiny surprise inside. Want a pineapple flavored gummy? Get a little piece of candied pineapple inside. Want a cherry flavored gummy? You get the idea. You can likely find a package for under $10. Bonus points for being vegan and kosher!

ASSORTED GADGETS

There are a number of low-cost gadgets and gizmos you can use to enhance your cannabis experience, and they can all fit neatly inside a stocking. Head to Cinder and you can pick up their trademark plastic grinder for a mere $1.

Also at Cinder, you can find a variety of glass pipes in all different shapes, colors and sizes,

ranging between $6-$20. Or, pick up a Toker Poker, a multi-tool that holds a lighter, stainless steel poker, tamper and a hemp wick, for just $10.

GREEN REVOLUTION’S JOURNEY TINCTURE

Looking for a cannabis product that’s outside of the box? Check out Green Revolution’s “Journey” tincture. At 100 milligrams of THC per 1-ounce bottle (about 20 servings), this water-based, water-soluble tincture can be applied orally via dropper or mixed in with a beverage, such as a nice cinnamon apple spice tea enjoyed by the fireplace.

DRAGON BALM DEEP TISSUE RELIEF SAUVE

You might consider Dragon Balm’s Deep Tissue Relief for a chronic lover who also happens to suffer from chronic pain. This 2-ounce container of 1-1 THC to CBD (175 milligrams) provides a cooling and soothing relief for those who suffer from back, leg and even head pain. Simply rub it in and let the ingredients do the rest. n

here are lots of choices in giving the gift of cannabis.

Aunt Millie will love the topical especially if you tell her it’s good for tight muscles and will help her golf swing. But what if you are shopping for a cannabis enthusiast? You wouldn’t shop for a wine snob at a convenience store so you shouldn’t trust flower or concentrate selection to anyone other than the folks well acquainted with the good stuff. At Royals Cannabis they’ve got top tier goods.

Tip: It’s important to remember

that when you give a weed gift you are giving an experience.

That experience can be mellow or high energy, tailored to the outdoorsy type into hikes and trails or a speed demon on the slopes with tunes blasting. It helps to know your audience and how they like to imbibe.

A movie buff is going to benefit from an indica hybrid where the curator of vinyl needs a more energetic strain.

Here’s a breakdown of popular strains from some of the farms we are fond of.

Tranquil Forest GELLY BURGER — A combination of creamy gas with undertones of gelato and hint of GMO cookies. Very potent and great for anyone with a lack of appetite.

Indica Hybrid.

MAC MILLER Sweet and gassy with piney and earthy aroma. Extremely potent.

Boutique Cultivation

BLUEBERRY COOKIES — This strain’s unique flavor is a mixture of roasted nuts, mint, and fresh blueberries, while the bouquet provides an earthier, berry-forward aroma.

The mental state produced is often heady and creative, offering a distraction from stress.

Gasworks Garden LEMON CHERRY — Sometimes referred to as a desert island strain, Lemon Cherry from Gasworks Garden is a surefire way to delight the connoisseur.

Pioneer Nuggets

ACAPULCO GOLD — Acapulco Gold is an old school classic. Its effects include a cerebral lift, an elevated mood that is both relaxing and charming. Perfect for your boomer buddy who, after dinner, says, "wanna smoke a doobie?”

Herbal Tech

ANGRY HIPPO — Described as the most well rounded of all of the strains, Angry Hippo is the perfect balance of a mind and body high.

This makes it the perfect pandemic purchase for beleaguered pals.

hen the line at Satori South reaches the last of the stickers shaped like shoes, placed 6 feet apart from one another, budtender Emma Larson stands in the doorway. She takes shop phone calls with one hand and holds the door open with the other, explaining the protocols to each new patron.

Like all retail businesses, recreational cannabis has felt the impact of COVID-19. “It’s been a struggle to adjust to all the different policies,” Larson says. She’s worked in the industry for four years and at this location for one.

While processes may be changing, the store is still busy. Most people go straight through the line without a lot of perusing, stepping from one sticker to the next, but there is plenty to see along the way. The store is lined with glass cases carrying every cannabis-related product imaginable from breath mints to straight flower to dab pens and vaporizers.

You would be forgiven for not knowing where to start, when buying for yourself or a loved one. Luckily, the

budtenders are knowledgeable and friendly, and everyone inside is very relaxed.

So if you’re looking for something new to get your mom (or spouse, or sister, or grandmother) this year, don’t overlook cannabis.

“For my mom, I get these Honu chocolate turtles,” Larson says. “She loves them because they don’t taste too weedy. Sometimes edibles have a really strong aftertaste, but these don’t.”

If your mom doesn’t have a sweet tooth, there are other options sure to make her happy.

For instance, Fairwinds makes a discreet roll-on formula that she could slip into her purse for easy access in transit, and Six Fifths makes Available at SATORI SOUTH, 1:1 CBD THC bath 2804 E. 30th Ave: bombs that look heavenly.

Honu Chocolate Turtles: As with any gifting $12/20mg, $30/100mg venture, Larson notes, you also can’t go wrong Six Fifths 1:1 CBD THC with a gift card. “SomeBath Bombs: $10/52mg times, I just let her pick what she wants.” n Fairwinds Roll On: $30/150mg

Hot and Cold Gear to weather the cold, dark winter ahead

inter brings three things that do not agree with weed: wind, water and frigid temperatures. Come prepared, though, and the rough weather will stand no chance of getting in between you and your snowy smoke session.

TURN UP THE HEAT

This winter, don’t grind your finger to the bone trying to flick a traditional lighter out in the elements, knowing full well that measly flame will get blown out by a gust or extinguished by a snowflake before it can do its job. Do like those who dab and pick up a torch lighter. If you’re just looking to spark a bowl or light a joint, you won’t need to throw down upwards of a hundred bucks on a fancy rig. A simple and cheap culinary torch will do the trick with its strong, steady flame.

DEFEND YOUR DIGITS

Good luck rolling a joint in bulky ski gloves or smoking a bowl without melting the fingertip

off of a flimsy $1 pair of gloves from the grocery store. So, how can you get stoned without freezing your fingers numb? Grab a pair of fingerless gloves. By removing just a bit of fabric below the knuckles, you’ll allow yourself the dexterity to prepare what you’re smoking without taking away too much insulation.

STAY DRY

The two products above help you navigate through the wild winter weather, but what if you just want to bypass it altogether? Behold, cannabis culture’s ultimate armor against the elements: the vape pen. Joints and flower are vulnerable to water — drop them in the snow and they’re toast — while lighters can fail in the wind and the cold. With a vape pen, though, it’s as simple as the push of a button.

While I wouldn’t drop one in a puddle, I’ve certainly picked mine up out of the snow and puffed on it right away.

Moreover, they’re basically odorless, which makes them great for use indoors, so why bother battling with Old Man Winter at all? n

Make the Holiday Merry and Green Celebrate your holidays the GreenLight way FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS Some of Green Light’s holiday favorites are old fashioned sugar cookies. We especially like them with infused STRAWBERRY RUBY RED KOKO GEMS from Northwest Cannabis Solutions on top. They call ruby chocolate the “4th Chocolate,” behind dark, milk and white, and these little chocolate truffles are delicious, a “tension of fresh berries and luscious smoothness."

COMFORT AND JOY With the chaos that the holidays can bring, remember to be good to yourself. Take your relaxation to the next level with Cannabis Cigars!

BRING ON 2021!

2020 has been a rough year for all of us, to keep spirits merry and bright, GreenLight has two reasons to cheer this coming New Year and you have two additional ways to pick up your goodies from Green Light.

DOOM ETERNAL

Dream of the ’90s What to get your gamer who’s (un)willingly trapped at home BY CLAIRE MUNDS

O

nce or twice daily, I curse the year 2020 and fantasize about escaping to happier halcyon days. Which historical era offers a bounty of positivity and the warm embrace of a culture that still had optimism and hope? Which year would I return to?

1993.

Bill Clinton sat in the Oval Office. The world was permanently aglow with the soft yellow light of summer. You could pack a bowl, fire up the ol’ DOS, hunker down with a computer game, and crack a chilled Crystal Pepsi without the fears that plague modern times.

16 GREEN ZONE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

The gaming industry must also yearn for 1993, as several throwback sequels dropped this year.

DOOM ETERNAL

Rated M, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Microsoft Windows, Google Stadia In honor of Doom (released in 1993, what a glorious year), we have the hotly, tremblingly anticipated sequel Doom Eternal. When I say “tremblingly,” I mean it. Gamers have been fever-stricken and salivating over getting this

STREETS OF RAGE 4

INERTIAL DRIFT first-person shooter into their grubby little mitts.

This game carries the legacy of its forefather — a tough teacher, a purveyor of adrenaline and a phantasmagoria of stimulation.

To really get into the vibe of the original game and to help meter the demanding maw of the game’s play style, I would pair Doom Eternal with a high ratio CDB edible and the Billboard Top 100 of ’93 (or maybe an endless loop of ol’ Bill playing sax).

STREETS OF RAGE 4

Rated T, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows Continuing my excitement for the ’90s, Streets of Rage 4 also slid into 2020 with praise.

Originally created between 1991 to 1994, this side-scrolling, beat-em-up franchise stood as one of the Sega’s most popular. Plot: You’re ridding the city of criminals and baddies. Soundtrack: Pumpin’ EDM that takes the mind back to when dance clubs were still open.

Twenty years later, fans still enjoy the Streets of Rage series as a fresh throwback to a time in history when humankind still felt joy. This game should definitely be paired with a bong shared with your fellow players.

INERTIAL DRIFT

Rated E, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows Inertial Drift doesn’t have a history in the ’90s, but it emerges from the stratosphere dripping in ’90s vibes. This arcade racer adds something new to the controls of modern racing games; use both joysticks to achieve MAXIMUM DRIFT as pumpin’ electronica and neon lights fill your mind with the utopia of ages past.

Getting the hang of the controls, individual cars, and tracks tickle at the lust for challenge that keeps this game funky fresh. Because of that, I suggest pairing this game with something with a little more body high. n GREEN ZONE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 17

CBD PILLOW

LEVO II

Stay Classy for the Holidaze Elevate the experience for your cannabis connoisseur with these classy gifts BY QUINN WELSCH

F

orget about that glass bong in the shape of a mushroom. You aren’t purchasing products for just any old pothead. This year, you’re purchasing for a cannabis connoisseur, and you need to show them just how “hip” and “with it” you are. Lucky for you, there are tons of cool products to choose from that don’t involve stepping foot in a head shop.

We’ve compiled a brief gift list for you this year:

HONEST PAWS WELLNESS BITES

CBD PILLOW

OLD FASHIONED BUD

Tinctures, tablets and edibles are some of the most common ways to deliver CBD for people looking to improve their sleep. The CBD Pillow cuts out the middleman, though. Instead of taking a dosage of CBD that may keep you conked out for a few hours, the CBD Pillow has a case that is filled with microcapsules that keeps you medicated aaaaaall niiiiiight looooong. $99, cbdpillow.com

LEVO II

We’re way beyond pot brownies in this day and age. With the LEVO II infuser, you can improve both your cannabis knowhow and your skills in the kitchen.

This infuser covers everything from coffees and salad dressings to lotion and skincare products. (Find more recipes on levooil.com.) $250, levooil.com

18 GREEN ZONE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

Maybe the cannabis lover on your nice list this year has four legs and a furry body. Or maybe you just want to share the benefits of CBD with your favorite critter. In that case, we suggest checking out Honest Paws’ Wellness Bites.

These treats are said to promote calmness and a healthier immune system in dogs. $25, Apex Cannabis You can also just stick with the basics and get some top-shelf flower. Cinder budtender Shay Singleton recommends Gabriel Farms indica-dominant Sherbet strain and Lilac City Gardens Warhead strain. Each can be purchased at $48 for an eighth. $48, Cinder

MELLO BOTTOMS

What better way to up your cannabis game than by putting your cannabis up your keister? We like to joke, but of course CBD suppositories are an actual thing. If you’re looking for a new way to consume cannabis products, might we suggest Mello’s “Bottoms”? One package includes five 75-milligram doses of CBD. $60, mellodaily.com n

BOOKS

BY CLAIRE MUNDS

T

urns out, buying gifts for your favorite cannabis consumer is like anything else: When in doubt, buy them a book! You’ll be thoughtful — not a thoughtless Luddite for giving them the wrong brand of vape pen.

SCRATCH & SNIFF BOOK OF WEED

Two parts funny, three parts informative, the Scratch & Sniff Book of Weed stinks of hokey entertainment while also imparting historical, psychological, social and medical fact tidbits. Think of it as a quirky, illustrated textbook to guide you through everything weed — learn a fact about weed’s usage and culture, then sniff a page.

Yes, you do actually scratch and sniff the pages.

There are several post-COVID scenarios where Scratch & Sniff would be a huge hit. As an activity for adults who like scratchable lotto tickets. A gift to a starry-eyed, new convert of cannabis. A book to pass around at a giggly fireside bong sesh. A conversation starter at a pot sampling night with pals. Alone with a bag of Cheetos. Resting upon your coffee table as a fun flex to shock your in-laws.

BRAVE NEW WEED

For the greater part of modern American history, legislation proselytized the idea that only filthy degenerates smoke weed.

Imagine the bright futures of children burning up every time they take a lighter to a bong. Brains degrading into mush with every edible — as the THC-infused chocolate melts in the mouth, the brain melts into a useless puddle sloshing around in the skull.

But as cannabis usage is legalized, our social narrative of its usage is dramatically and confusingly changing. To explore this, the author of Brave New Weed travels around the world to answer two questions about society’s relationship with the plant: How did we get here and where are we going?

Intriguingly, author Joe Dolce did not begin this novel as a true-blue cannabis expert. But as a marijuana neophyte, he crafts an optimistic discussion of the bright, blazing future of cannabis. n
