Name: I Can’t Believe It’s Pot Butter Brownie

From: Apothecary 420 (Dispensary – Los Angeles)

Grade: B+

Type: Hybrid (?)

Price: $15

Looks: Like a squared off piece of very moist Duncan Hines cakes that my Aunt used to make.  The size was larger than most average brownies I have seen.  The brownie is vacuum sealed.

Taste: This was so moist!  With most edibles, you can detect that distinct cannabis taste and with this brownie that taste was very, very faint, probably undetectable to most.   The brownie itself was quite rich – sticks to your mouth.   The chocolate icing with white swirl would make any sweet tooth smile with joy.  An excellent tasting cannabis-based edible.

Buzz Stats: Consumed entire brownie at 12:50p during a sunny afternoon on an empty stomach.  Prior smoke was appx 12 hours earlier.   The brownie was my first intake of the day.   It was purchased 4 days earlier and stored in the refrigerator.  The brownie sat out at room temperature for about 3 hours prior to consuming.

Buzz Journey: Knowing the effects of edibles are not immediate, I consumed my brownie while returning home from conducting some morning errands.  I’ve bought edibles before and given my history, it made sense for me to consume the entire piece (most might want to only consume half at first).  I get home and started to do some things around the house and realized an hour has gone by and I really did not feel medicated.  So I pulled out my bong then said to myself … “clean it.”  As I am cleaning my bong, it finally hit me.

I am about an hour and 15 post-ingestion now.  I start to feel hella mellow.  The back of my eyes get heavy but I don’t get Chinese eyes.  Indo qualities overtake my body.  I am like … “damn, this one hella creeped up on me” … the creep was frustratingly slow but, hit hella hard.  At this time I am so glad I did not fire up my bong and get some smoke on.  When eating this, I did not want anything else to interfere so I can really judge the effects of this edible.

It’s about 3:45p and I am beyond baked.  I am watching the football games with KLOS in the background.  KLOS (So-Cal Classic Rock radio station) is jamming Led Zeppelin and then Rush.  I am like, “damn!”  Rush never sounded so good!  I got so into the music I tuned out the football games.  About 4:30p my body began to tingle from head to toe.  I felt alert but now with some serious red Chinese eyes.  That tingle was short lived as my head went heavy shy of 5pm and I started to get hella mellow again where my focus was back on the football games.

Around 6pm I felt pretty much back to normal with just a little heaviness behind the eyes.  So this one full brownie on an empty stomach with no other form of medication during the day was about a 5 hour run.  The journey was like a traditional bell curve.  The first hour the body was absorbing the medicine … hours 2-3-4 were the peak medication times … hour 5 was wind down.  The dominant effects were more Indo-like vs. Sativa.  At no time did I feel couch-locked but I felt best for that 30 minute or so run from 4:30p-5p when I had a body tingle.

Some Tips: Edibles are way different than flowers.   Since edibles are usually one dose (unless you buy lots), write your review “real time.”  In order for an edible to really take charge, the edible has to have more THC vs. what you body currently has.  This is why I consumed my brownie as my first “meal” of the day on an empty stomach after a good sleep.  Actually, it may be best if you don’t smoke for a full day (or two/three) before having an edible.  Have lots of time to chill.  As you can see, you can have a good 3+ hour run on top of the hour or so it takes to ramp the medicine up in your body and the additional hour when your “buzz” wears down.  Opportunity knocked at the last minute (on my own with no family ALL day), so I had to take advantage, although I did not plan to consume my edible today.

Store your edibles in the fridge!  Your collective should have them stored in a cooler/refrigerator too.  When ready to consume, take out of the fridge and bring to room temperature unless directed otherwise by the packaging.

Overall: The “I Can’t Believe It’s Pot Butter Brownie” is a solid edible.  It’s by the far the best edible offered by A420 for me and I have tried many with little success (or I had to consume so much that the cost factor is not worth it – such as three lollipops during one session instead of one).  This is definitely an edible I’d purchase again.  I don’t give it an A grade only because I do feel the effects took very long to creep, especially on an empty stomach.  Also, I wish the overall buzz strength was much stronger.  When I try this again, I think I’ll will when I go dry for few days.  Giving the body a THC ingestion break for a few days might the be ticket in giving this brownie a “A” grade.  Also for record, I am a pretty big and muscular guy so edibles are “harder” to work on me.  That being said, this brownie might fit most of you very well.  -IE420Patient

Name: Jack Herer

From: Long Beach Organics (Dispensary – Long Beach)

Grade: A+

Type: Sativa

Price: $20/G

Looks: You can tell just by looking at it that this is something special. Nicely colored hairs, nooks and crannies are full of trichomes. Very pretty.

Smell: This smells like my default scent of marijuana. What I always thought it should smell like. Green, earthy with a nice hint of pine.

Taste: Absolutely delicious. Earthy and piney, with a distinct sweetness to it out of my Vapor Genie. Out of a pipe, it loses a lot of the sweetness, but it still has a strong, pleasant flavor.

Smokeability: Vapor Genie – Flawless. Tasty, smooth, etc. Pipe – Still very tasty, but there’s a tiny bit of harshness to it. Not enough to make me cough, even with a large toke, but I could feel it in there.

Buzz Type: Very high. Extreme positive moodshift, great mental clarity, not a hint of paranoia. Happy, almost giddy – though I did pass the line way into giddy after watching a video of a cute kitten. Very energetic, almost speedy. There is absolutely no heaviness in this.

Buzz Length: Moderate-long. An average sized bowl lasted a couple hours, maybe a bit more.

Overall: EXTREMELY nice bud. It has everything. This is my first A+ smoke. It really does everything right. This is, in my opinion, an EXCELLENT strain for those (like me) suffering from depression, loss of motivation, fatigue, etc. I also suffer from anxiety, and I don’t get the paranoid sketchy feeling that some of the really high energy sativas give me.

Buzz Report: I bought a Vapor Genie recently, and I wanted a really top notch strain to try in it. I’ve been hearing rave reviews about Jack Herer, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I also smoked it out of my regular pipe, so I’m covering both aspects in this review.

Had a moderate onset. Took a couple of minutes after my first toke to start feeling it. But when I felt it, I definitely felt it. I was first hit by a positive wave. My mindset instantly flipped to “YAY!”. After that, I was hit by a smooth rush of energy. I love that speedy feeling, and this was as smooth and as clear as I’ve felt it. It wasn’t an obnoxious energy that’s uncomfortable until you jog around to wear it off a bit, but it’s definitely there.
This is an absolutely amazing strain. If you get a chance, check it out. Unless it’s poorly grown, you’re sure to be in for a treat   -Ghost Guy

From: Barney’s (Coffee Shop – Amsterdam)

Grade: A

Type: Hybrid

Price: $15/g

Looks: Tight buds with different shades of green along with thin red hairs.

Smell: Freshly cut assortment of fruit.

Taste: Has an orgasmic sweet taste that is unlike most other varieties. Taste is almost as good as well grown Diesel or Chemdawg.

Buzz Type: Body felt stoned and the head was in a good cerebral state.

Buzz Length: Medium to Long.

Overall: This strain has always been a special treat for me. This was the second type of weed I tried in Amsterdam on my first trip 4 or 5 years ago. It has such a distinct candy taste that lingers in the mouth. Easy to see how this won the Cannabis Cup back to back in 2001 and 2002.  -Meangreenmartian

Name: Hash Plant

From: Santa Cruz Patients Collective (Dispensary – Santa Cruz)

Grade: A

Type: Indica

Price: $65/8th

Looks: Amazing. Lime green to forest green foliage, with orange and red hairs throughout.  Fairly dense looking little to medium nuggets. The nuggets are completely frosted with trichomes.  By looking at it you can tell how it got its name.

Smell: Sweet hashy smell that becomes fruity.  The more you crush or break the nugs, the more the fruity the smell is.  Like when you break off a piece to smoke, or grind to vaporize.  It has a familiar smell that is locked in the back of my memory banks for some reason.  I think its the smell of hash we used to see in the 80’s in the Northwest.

Taste: I am going with the 2′ Jerome Baker water pipe with a little ice in it for extra cool toking action.  Drop in a nice fat lil nugglet, and…..Wow that’s nice!  Tastes like a dank indica bud with some hash like we got in the old days on top of it.  Nice expansion.  Clean tasting that must have been well flushed and cured.

Buzz Type: Strong and long.  It is kind of racy, but at the same time it will take out a headache in a minute, work as a pain aid and definitely will help an appetite.  If you have ever tried a hit of some really good bud with some really clean good hash on top, then you kinda know what this tastes like.  If not, then do that or find some Hash Plant and try it!

Buzz Length: 2-3 hours.

Overall: I love it.  You can see why they created this strain to make hash.  It has a lot of old school qualities that I love.  Like a un-tampered strain that is dipped in hash.  It has many medicinal benefits.  It is close to the top for my headache relief.  -SantaCruzMts

Great review SantaCruzMts, thank you!  -Mrs. Chubbs

Name: Asteroid

From: Apothecary 420 (Dispensary – Los Angeles)

Grade: A+

Type: Indica

Price: $35/gram, $110/8th – YES, IT’S EXPENSIVE!

Looks: Very tight and dense buds.  So dense, you think you were shorted.  Light/medium green bud with “orange” hairs fully covered in trichs.

Smell: Very strong and stinky (but a good stink).  Two air tight containers can’t keep the smell away!  An earthy “green” smell…very minty with a hint of menthol.

Taste: Very smooth and on the floral side.  A little bit of piney after taste.

Buzz Type: “Out of this World” as Apothecary 420 claims.  Felt the buzz begin before the exhale.  Started off with the head feeling a bit heavy and a squint in the eyes and then about 10-15 minutes later my whole body was in check.  The strength of the high evenly progressed from first hit to 15 minutes in. 

Although classified as indica, for me this bud also had some sativa qualities – had a really good head and body tingle going on.  In short, this buzz is hella cool.  A great way to end the day.

Buzz Length: A good 1.5 to 2 hours.  These buds were so tight and potent that I barely broke off a piece for my bong (maybe the size of a small marble).  I was able to get THREE good solid bong rips off this small amount.

Overall: If you want to splurge or cost is not an issue this is some damn good indica.  What I do like with this is that you don’t have to smoke much.  With other strains, I would most likely smoke 2 to 3 times as much. 

This is up there as one of the best indica buzzes I’ve had.  One small bowl and I am good!  You feel good, ultra chill and mellow but I did not get couch locked.  It’s almost as if this bud takes you just shy to the point of being couch locked and keeps you there for a while – for me that means one damn good “high”.

Side Note: We all know Apothecary 420 is expensive but, damn…this is some seriously good medical marijuana.  Asteroid is the most expensive on the menu and is to be exclusive to Apothecary 420 per their blog.  The posted in-dispensary prices are credit card prices.  If you pay cash, they will usually lower the price $5-10 (I always pay cash).  Also, save your receipts and take advantage of their Rewards Program.  In part, why I bought this high cost strain was because I got $40 off bringing in my last 7 receipts.  -IE420Patient

Submitted by: Bodhiless

Name: Maui Wowee

From: Private Dealer, Philadelphia

Grade: A (Maybe an A+, but I’m sure it doesn’t stack up to some of the other A+ stuff on Marijuana Reviews.)

Type: Sativa

Price: $60/8th

Looks: Immaculate.  The bud matter has lime green, forest green and deep purple coloration and crawls with long, neon-orange hairs.  It is covered in stout, bulbous trichomes that frost it densely and evenly.

Smell: This bud has an overwhelming citrus odor.  A whiff of the bud renders a pure, lemony scent but the mason jar that I keep it in has an unmistakable and powerful grapefruit odor.

Taste: Tangy, with a sweet hint of fuel.  The smoke is thick and hot, fairly cough-inducing.

Buzz Type: An energetic, focused sativa head high with an exceptionally comfortable and relaxed feel.  Not trippy at all, as some strong sativas are; actually, the buzz was very sedate and indica-like, but it was very clear and euphoric.

Buzz Length: Very long, maybe the longest I have ever experienced.  As a light smoker, I was high for 3.5 hours on .6 grams (I was hitting a jay with another head) before I decided to go to sleep – and at that point I was still quite euphoric.  I imagine it would keep most patients medicated for at least 2 hours, if not longer.

Overall: In my personal opinion, this California-grown Maui Wowee provides an ideal high.  As someone who tends to favor indica strains, this bud kept me feeling an intense head buzz without that paranoia or hallucination that distracts me from enjoying most powerful sativas.  I thoroughly enjoyed this cannabis and it ranks with the best that I’ve come across in my encounters with private dealers.  -Bodhiless

Thank you Bodhiless for a great review and some tasty pics!
