Forget leaving cookies and milk out for Santa because this Grinch is all about the Who Hash. To celebrate the feeling of the season, we collected four of our favorite rosins to spread globs of holiday cheer as we close out the year on a high note!

Heavenly Buds Papaya Melonz #7

Golden and glistening like a hashy Christmas tree ornament, the Papaya Melonz #7 is a tropical vacation waiting in each dab. Oozing with ripe fruit, funky gas and notes of sugared-marker melon, this hash rosin teases the senses as a dab is loaded. The first puffs send a warm rush of smooth hashy fruit to the frontal lobes, filling the mind with a euphoric stoney bliss that’s the hash version of toes in the sand, delivering a mental vacation with each juicy dab.

Viking Cannabis Candy Mac 

Whoever said no candy before dinner surely wasn’t welcome in Santa’s workshop, where cocoa and Candy Mac are the breakfast of choice. Light gold and shimmering with terpy goodness, this gorgeous rosin bursts with sugary notes of candied kush, piney Mac and a lemony-vanilla gas that’s ready to light us up brighter than the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. That Norway Spruce is 75 feet tall, features 50,000 LED lights and isn’t nearly as high as we are from smooth, gassy hits of this rosin, which sent us floating in a blissful cloud of hashy joy that’s ready for the holidaze.

Dungeness Dank Glue Junky

When the holiday stress threatens your peace, it’s time for heavy, heady dabs that will cover the mind and body in a sedative, gluey funk of Cannabis bliss. Dungeness Dank’s Glue Junky rosin is beautiful, with a light golden color, a perfectly terpy consistency and bright, funky glue notes to jam up the mind. The first inhales are full of piney and gassy glue, with a thick and smooth vapor that fills the mind and body with clouds of relaxation.

111 Ranch Guava Nectar 159-73u Hash Rosin

The connection between Cannabis terpenes and the plant world is such that the same terps in a freshly picked and squeezed guava juice are present in this delectable and stunning hash rosin, which is truly worthy of the name Guava Nectar. A perfect golden square of translucent rosin, this hash stuns from the jar, teasing the senses with gentle wafts of ripe fuzzy guava and a soft tropical-banana-vanilla aroma that’s hard not to lick. The first puffs are bright and fruity, with a smooth and thick vapor that grips the mind and body in a firm relaxation, melting frontal lobes into a puddled body below. Euphoric but heavily stoney, this Guava Nectar is the perfect escape from the holiday rush, but not before presents are wrapped!

About Wes Abney

Wes Abney is the founder and CEO of the Leaf Nation brand family, which began in 2010 as Northwest Leaf magazine. Recognized as the first Cannabis publication in the region, Northwest Leaf defined and developed the medical and recreational Cannabis communities in Washington with free publications focused on quality content and truthful journalism. The model’s success has led to Oregon Leaf in 2014, Alaska Leaf in 2016, Maryland Leaf in 2019, California Leaf in Spring of 2020, and Northeast Leaf in Fall of 2020. Wes’s writing and publishing background began with his college newspaper, The Ebbtide, which included a love for multimedia and creating content on many platforms. The nickname “Bearded Lorax” came after years of publishing millions of free magazines, using his voice to speak for a plant and those that benefit from it. Wes is an activist not only for Cannabis but for alternative medicine treatments, ending the drug war and freeing prisoners who have been wrongfully incarcerated for non-violent crimes. His passion for reaching people with written and spoken words led to the concept of Leaf Life Podcast in partnership with Mike Ricker, which began development in 2018 and launched in January 2019. With the combined passions of Cannabis and a love for broadcasting, the creation of Leaf Life was a natural progression for Leaf Nation as it spread roots across the United States. With over 100 shows recorded, and printing over 100,000 monthly copies, Leaf Nation has become the world’s largest Cannabis media company, while still celebrating the humble roots and truthful journalism that the model was founded upon. Beyond leading a team of 40+ passionate Cannabis creatives, Wes is the father to two beautiful daughters and two furry cats. He lives in Seattle, drinks coffee, and enjoys Cannabis daily, and hopes to eventually transition from a successful Cannabis journalist to a classic coffee shop author as the Leaf continues to grow in the coming decades. In true Lorax fashion, he enjoys hikes in the forest, communing with nature, and reminding people that “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
