Like a fine wine, opening this jar was like smelling fresh grapes being smashed in a winery. Complex fruity notes dominated the nose. The exhale reminded me of the smell of fresh honeysuckles at the beginning of the summer. I found this most useful at night for getting into a deep state of relaxation.


Chem 91 X Alien Dawg Diamonds from MPX

MPX Chem91Alien Live Resin

MPX is serving up straight-up diamonds, with a light coating of HTFSE soaking them with delicious terpenes. This helped me most with pain relief on unusually difficult days with my lower back. After one dab I found myself sinking into my office chair, with a largely reduced level of pain.

As soon as the lid came off, this jar was exploding with gassy, cake-like aromas that could be smelled from across the room. The fresh smells I experienced were also very noticeable on the exhale. This strain helped me with daily anxiety and elevating my mood to a higher level.

I found it could be best described as a balanced hybrid, giving me relief from back pain while increasing my energy level.


Grape Pearls Live Crumble from Cresco

Cresco Grape Pearls Live Resin

Like a fresh batch of grapes coated in ground black pepper, this concentrate was exotic and spicy at the same time. Strong notes of sweet fruit came through strong on the exhale. Following a couple dabs, I was ready to curl up with a blanket and watch movies for the entire day.

Rosetta Stone Live Resin Badder from Culta

Jack Herer is crossed with P75 to bring us a fruity cross reminiscent of a fresh fruit smoothie. I was excited to see this batch was over 7% terpinolene, which gave me confidence in this extract’s ability to lessen my anxiety. After a couple dabs, I was able to calmly accomplish my daily activities with little to no worries.


Snow Monster Live Diamonds from Strane

Life Savers candy terps hit me in the face when I took the lid off this mouthwatering batch of diamonds. On the exhale I tasted a blast of limonene in the form of a strong citrusy flavor. I felt a very balanced high after taking a dab – perfect for a long day ahead of me.


Motorbreath Diamonds from Verano

Verano Motorbreath Live Resin

Unscrewing the lid from this jar released the classic diesel fuel terpenes I have come to expect from this strain. Coated with terps, these diamonds were strong in terms of effect and tasty on the exhale. After one dab, I felt euphoric and in a creative headspace.


Desert Inn Aqua Tech Sauce from GLeaf

The color of this concentrate was as white as Vaseline, with the consistency of classic live resin sauce. The nose and exhale both reminded me of the taste of Good and Plenty licorice candy, with sharp and strong notes of sweetness. After dabbing, I felt relief from the strong anxiety I was experiencing.


Gelato Cake Batter from District Cannabis

Gelato Cake from District Cannabis smells like if you spilled gasoline in a bakery. The doughy and cakey terpenes come through strong in this extract, from its nose to its exhale. I felt a significant amount of calmness when dabbing this strain and used it often before bed.

Lost cause is a cross between Amnesia Haze and Dosidos. After a few puffs, I felt a strong focus take hold and creativity ran free throughout my brain. Pax pods are great, from the pod itself to the device used to consume it. I was able to set my temperature easily, and change it based on the strain for maximum terpene inhalation.

These cartridges from Cresco are among some of the terpiest on the market, delivering a consistently flavorful and potent rip.

I felt a strong sense of calmness and relaxation when smoking the strains Mandarin Cookies and Greatest Hits.


92 Cookies & Dream #104 HTFSE Cartridge from Culta

Smoking sauce on the go is a step closer to a full-on dab out of a rig, and that appears to be Culta’s goal with these pens. Packed with flavor, each hit was as tasty as the last, bursting with sweet peppery flavor. After a few rips, my joints loosened up and I felt comfortable to move around and exercise.


Grape Lime Ricky Aqua Tech FSe Cartridge from GLeaf

The flavor of this cartridge can best be described as floral and piney, likely from the over 4% terpinolene in this batch. After taking a few hits, I found I was able to pay close attention to things, in a relaxed state of mind.
