Jon’s stone cold quarantine cop list: 13th edition

Number 13! I’m not going to lie, I never expected my (or anyone else’s) attention to last so long that I would ever get back to the 13th Adage that stoners get nothing … Apparently they do when they talk about weed !

I know times are still tough for all of us, and although we’ve already been through around 16 months of unspecified time, things seem as shaky as ever, so I’m back to um to throw a hot fire at you. This edition of the Quarantine Cop List gives the trap a lot of love, praises lemonade, tries to try your way out of state, and has a Delta variant you actually want to catch otherwise that should be on my radar for the next one: @ joncappetta

I post about many exciting products for this list, but few are as explosively innovative as this one. While I’d heard folklore about this type of doob for years, the mad scientist behind Pixie Stix finally made it a reality – joints rolled almost entirely with THC products (save the glass filter, of course – you can’t smoke that) – REAL hash paper joints.

Now I admit that I’m a skeptic so I wasn’t sure if this was going to shatter everything or turn into a huge mess, but friends, I’m happy to announce that these things are real thugs. While Pixie Stix is ​​certainly not an entry-level product, it smokes gentler than you’d probably expect, with the hash complimenting the buds far more than paper or even hemp wrap ever could, but you’ll feel the difference in the high. These guys weren’t kidding about their slogan “only for professionals”! These are available in a very limited range. So if you ever get the chance to get hold of one of these NOT SLEEPING, you won’t want to miss out.

Sometimes I get careless when I talk too much about California, but I live here, so here’s one who, while operational here so I can confirm the quality, is also lining up for playback in the east in Massachusetts. Belle Fleur’s first line of products, Rapper Weed, will definitely make a splash when it hits the East Coast.

Their first two types, Pink Panties (based on the VS Aesthetic model) and Fonzorelli (based on the infamous icon from the cult classic show Happy Days, Arthur Fonzorelli), are cuts that the market knows and loves, but in a play renamed to reach a wider audience. While I would normally assume this was a benchmark for benefiting from the game, I know the team behind the brand are real culture people so I’m excited to see where they go. As we all know, the right branding can make EVERYTHING …

I’ll start by saying I’m not here to throw you moonstones. While a million people have tried in the past, I haven’t seen any get excited about smoking, and I’m not here to berate you with things I don’t personally use. That said, whatever the Delta Boyz have in front of them with their Delta Diamonds is sure to work.

While they are definitely NOT moonstones or asteroids or any of those other products that try too hard, the Delta Diamonds ARE premium indoor flowers that are doused with a healthy coating of water hash. Unlike the other players who coat inferior Disti and then throw Keef over it to make you believe you have something better than you, the Diamonds let you clearly see what you are smoking – you can even shake / rub off a lot of the hashish if you’re so inclined. Even better, they CLAMP – anyone looking for moonstones when the traditional flower just doesn’t cut them anymore, here is the real solution to your problems.

The Dubb doesn’t stop winning. From the insanely popular That’s An Awful Lot of Cough Syrup attire, to the music, to his cannabis piece That’s An Awful Lot of Gelato (keep an eye out for a story on all of this and his rise to star coming soon!), It is clearly the man’s hectic pace knows no bounds.

So why should I be surprised that he recently teamed up with Exotic Pop, the hype soda distributors who promote everything from Crip A Cola to Wu-Tang’s Pineapple CREAM?

The newest piece, That’s An Awful Lot of Pina Colada, tastes seriously like an authentic Pina Colada (carbonated and bottled only) and is definitely going to wow drinkers across the country. While I don’t fuck with lean, it’s worth noting that this is all bomb-soda and doesn’t require cough syrup for others like me who have a nasty sweet tooth. Just one more stop on Desto’s plan for world domination!

If there’s a takeaway I’m sure you get from any of these lists that taste is king. While much of the industry is aiming for THC percentages, this has been the gospel for the gangs at The Cure Company for years, and as such, they have consistently brought out some of the newest and most unique strains, such as their cult favorite curelato ( my personal favorite gelato cut).

Knowing the history of these guys, it should come as no surprise to our readers that their upcoming line brings the heat to a great extent by bringing debuting Fritz crosses over the most sought-after strains in the game right now. While Animal Fritz fell last week, today the pure Fritz falls, and there’s a bunch of new cuts, including Miami Fritz, that are sure to make some noise out here.

If your looking for the plug, City Compassionate Caregivers in DTLA gets it first, but you will see that cut in the retail ecosystem very soon.

You all know I’m not the greatest dabber in the world. I love cannabis in all its forms, but I just don’t use concentrates from rigs very often, it distorts my flower tolerance too much. Still, I have to highlight Royal Key’s newest product, Grape Royale, processed by Suprize Suprize.

I was in the bay for my dear friend Jimi’s birthday party and this product was at the tasting that I attended and let me just say this product was superior to its competition MILLE. You don’t have to be a big dabber to appreciate good terps, and boy, those were some of the best I’ve come across. Although I didn’t know that the jar they gave me wasn’t actually intended for storage (sorry Jim!), I am very happy to open this jar from time to time for a special taste experience.

PS here is a public acknowledgment that the guru of Devine Cannabis is always welcome to my terps. (Note: The picture is from Zookies Extract, not Grape Royale)

In keeping with the grape vibes, I would like to give the Viola team a big compliment for bringing another exciting one to the market. With their latest collaboration, NBA icon Allen Iverson will step into the cannabis industry, and the first product they bring to market is ’96 – in honor of the year the All-Star entered the big leagues is a Board breaker. A cross of grape masher and secret Kush mint, the candy nose is strong with that unique mint finish that will make you puff the bag to get the flavor up your nose. Similar to the Grape Royale mentioned above, the flavor profile is so satisfying that I couldn’t stop myself from coming back just to sniff it over and over again. However, save this cut for the post-game, as it is not suitable for practice.

I put in a full review of the Jungle Boys’ new Heat last week, but the Sour Apple Killer is so good it’s worth mentioning again (and again!). I’m not afraid that my nose dictates most of my smoking decisions and this one smells MATURE. They say that most fragrances are drawn to them for some beauty and some funk, and I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s definitely true for this strain and I am drawn to her. Not only that, but it keeps getting my ass up, which is always important when looking for an evening smoker. Get some fire to play with.

Another preroll not for the faint of heart, Heavy Hitters’ new line is no joke. Enriched with THCa diamonds, these one-gram bangers are filled with favorite flowers like Sunset Sherbert and Black Cherry Gelato, and from everything I’ve seen, they all test over 50 percent THCa. They also move this across the sativa to indica spectrum, with a measure on the backside of whether it slopes more up or down, but you should know that no matter which type you go for, you will be really insane become ‘high. Those familiar with the Heavy Hitters brand know that these guys are known for the strength of their products, and this newest tool in the arsenal lives up to the hype.

I’ve been following the rise of Stone Road for some time. They have a great story, their product is quality, everyone I have met on the team has been excellent – they are the kind of people you just want to attract. And while I’ve been a silent consumer for a while, I think their newest format is one that is worth celebrating. With the release of half-ounce, pre-ground ‘Rollie’ packs, Stone Road has successfully transformed a well-known product into a more holistic and healthier one.

Maybe it’s because I come from the festival scene or because I grew up smoking cigarettes, but I’ve always found something magical about rollie packs and the people who can just roll on the go, wherever they are, whenever they want have to smoke. It takes skill and real effort. For cannabis, however, it makes perfect sense, and I’m actually a bit surprised that we didn’t see this MORE. That said, Stone Road crushes it, and their banana split is especially good for a daytime smoke if you’re inclined to!
