April 🍃Is Stoner Sacred

Need some 4/20 inspiration? You and me both 😩

The rainy start to the spring has been reflective, but what do we see in those 🌈 rainbow grease patterns on the asphalt? Hope? Change? Status quo? More hard times? It’s in the eye (and the tax bracket) of the beholder.

If you’re like me, you’re cranking up the music to drown out the despair—and let that be a metaphor for whatever you want. I keep hearing, “we’re ALL unhappy” about all types of people, but if you’re tuned in, you know just how much more unhappy someone can get when they’re (literally) under the gun.

Conflicted, we pay selective attention, brutally turning away, as we’re met with our own survival needs.

I don’t have some solution for this reality, other than to perhaps to sit with it and don’t sit too long. NYC locals can drop off supplies for Palestinian refugees who have escaped to Cairo at Selva restaurant, on Willoughby Ave in BK, 6-11pm, 7 days.

LATEST WORK: 😎💨

Let’s be honest: even if dabbing with a torch was something someone in severe pain wanted to do, hot glass and open flames just don’t scream ‘medical safety and efficacy’. But electronic tools with safe modifications, now those are going to change up the medical cannabis game, one dab at a time.

INFLUENCED: Buying Insights 📲 Tale of Two Vapes

Edie Parker Good Afternoon All-In-One in Lemon Watermelon

This tasty delight was a must-try, even though I normally steer clear of disposable vapes altogether, especially flavored and/or distillate-based carts. Well friends, this is a delicious vape—no point in fighting the truth. It’s got a bright fruity flavor that is soft and balanced, and so in the end it really just tastes like a weedy lemonade.

That specific flavor evokes memories of the ‘early days’ of cannabis creations, when everything was less perfect and more of an experiment in finding epic pairings.

Plus, this looks and smells like a regular vape, so it’s easier to fly under the radar 😸

$44 for .5g at Travel Agency Union Square the LITERAL Apple Store of Ouid.

MFNY Live Resin Cart in Strawpaya

I was ready to give up on NY vapes before tasting the Edie Parker jawn, but then a cute new (legal) shop opened in Ridgey (yes, I call Ridgewood Ridgey) called Late Bloomers NYC, and I wanted to check them out while looking for a. Ayrloom cans to drink in the sunshine, an easy find at most NYC rec shops, and b. the Lost Farm by Kiva chews that I heard have come to New Yawk (finally). Lost Farm chews are good, but I have gone on a tangent.

Folks at Late Bloomers heard my complaints about mid-to-no live resin in NY and were quick to direct me to MFNY products, using fruity live resins in vapes and gummies. Because another brand’s NYC drop was clogging endlessly, I needed a new 510 cart for my cute kit, outfitted with a CCell lightweight palm battery, the Sandwave.

MFNY’s Strawpaya live resin is fruity in a funky way, with earthy undertones and a lil zip of terpinolene, so it’s not a surface-level fruit like a berry, more deep and complicated. Another win for NY legal cannabis from a shocked observer who remembers when med vapes were dark brown and had no strain information whatsoever.

$48 (plus tax) for .5g at Late Bloomers

Reading this is kind of devastating. There’s always been hints of this type of behavior at the now-known-for-union-busting grocer, but now it’s undeniable and multi-faceted. Getting staples like butter, eggs, and bread for half the price of the crusty (and also probably unethical) chain grocers nearby where I’m at is now coming with a side of cultural theft and union blocking. This brilliant articles lays out the case, with clear examples and frustrating detail after frustrating detail. Race to the bottom (of the yogurt tub). 😤

Media veterans and critics are now aligned on one bummer ass factoid: the above mentioned race is more or less complete in the world of media. We’re a mouthpiece for the wealthy and powerful, where they point us at each other, act with impunity to prevent accountability and oversight, and in this story, try to accuse a beloved cannabis journalist of…who knows what…by blocking her payment processing for her INDEPENDENT cannabis journalism. Womp fuckitty womp. 🤬
