Jon’s Stone Cold Quarantine Cop List: 17th edition

Just in time for Green Wednesday, we’re back with another collection of the latest and greatest in the industry.

This month we are almost exclusively talking about flowers, as we come from a heavy croptober and are swinging stars from all levels of the league for the fences. While the top shelf here is ALWAYS covered, this one holds from high percentages to high value and everything in between. As my favorite pot journalist Jimi Devine would say, “We smoke here for every tax bracket”.

Before we meddle when I was packing to head home to spend Thanksgiving time with my family, I couldn’t help but be grateful for the insane spiral that has gone on for nearly two years. Somehow our industry has kept evolving between canceled plans and mask mandates, and while taxes and government (of any kind) are still on our heels, and even though corporate weed somehow still has a market, we continuously have the resilience of. proved not only the plant, but also freedom fighters.

Sure, almost none of us are where we wanted to be three years ago, but we’ve turned lemons into lemonade – and a pandemic into an fkn weed parade. I am proud of you all and hope that you will see the fruits of your labor. There is still a lot to do, but we are never closer to our goal.

So let’s get to number 17. As always, yelling with requests, things I missed or just to complain – I’m used to it 🙂 @joncappetta

I just can’t say enough good things about these guys. While I’m the first to admit that I was way too late for this party, they’ve quickly become one of my favorite producers simply because everything new I try from their portfolio blows my socks off. Their latest issue, Sunday Paper, is well worth getting published. While I certainly see my fair share of quaint products, the strains these guys bring to market impress even seasoned snobs like me, largely thanks to the incredibly pungent aroma they all contain. While the buds themselves look the best they can, it’s the taste that will be remembered long after the smoke clears.

While I’m usually into celebrity drops, here’s one to get really upset about. I’ve been a fan of Griz’s music for years so of course I had to get a taste of it when I heard he was preparing to launch. The saxophone killer has developed its craft for years, so it’s no surprise it hasn’t settled down in terms of its buds. Originally founded in his home state of Michigan, Astro Hippie isn’t just an influencer-owned brand with well-designed branding – it’s buds too! Michigan launches three strains – Tie Dye Medusa, G Funk & Mr. B OG – all with plenty of nose and flavor, it seems Michigan knows better than trying to give off a few boofs!

Redlines Super Chief

I’ve said before in this column that I know that if Red breeds something, I’ll experience something, but the mad scientist behind Redline Reserve has outdone himself this time. While I’m not the kind of person to put percentages in the driver’s seat, this latest crop delivers over 40 percent total cannabinoids, which is far from common for the industry so far. Perhaps more importantly, these plants are grown by real bon vivants, so not just some guys bribing a lab for numbers or just growing them for sale – those numbers are real and the plants were grown to be smoked, ”folks . I also have a preview of his upcoming Purple Blossom line and let me tell you these bouquets don’t stop either. In case you need another co-sign, here’s what you hear: You should take a ride on the redline.

Flower company

When we get into the gift season I think this is an important introduction for two reasons: first, they are price conscious so you can afford to be generous with your gifts, and second, they are great value for money let yourself be pampered without ending up in the poor house. For those who didn’t know, the Flower Company is a member delivery service that has some of the best prices I’ve seen in years. And not only are the prices good, but their buds can hold their own against MANY of their significantly more expensive competitors.

It’s worth noting that while you can get an ounce for under $ 100, I would recommend buying the halves that are on sale for the same price.

Bazquiat

This has something for everyone. While I have no idea how they avoided a C&D from the namesake’s foundation, I’m on board with how long this trip takes. Published by The Association and with a fit more than “inspired” by the pop art legend, this Z-Cross (which is hilariously fitting given the situation) is a true work of art in itself. With a sweet aroma and gorgeous purple buds, the Bazquiat will delight even the most sophisticated of palettes. While these guys were at the last Za-Lympics, so I’m definitely too late with this call, this one gets a big stamp of recognition all round.

No to kings

I’ll be honest, I’m not one of those people who really care about organic. Laboratory prepared food has always been good for me – scientifically designed to be delicious, right? So when it comes to sung or all-natural cannabis, for me, while I love weed in all of its forms, it has never really been the strong selling point it is for others. That is, of course, until I started looking at the benefits of living soil. While I’m not here to pretend I’m a master breeder or anything like that, it’s pretty hard to deny there’s something to it.

The No Till Kings invited me to test their cultivation, and while I have to admit that a lot of it went over my head, it just makes sense that a living ecosystem would produce the best products – and in the most environmentally friendly way possible and ways that you can inside. After trying some of their products, I can confirm that the flowers were much more vibrant and aromatic than most of the other indoor spaces I’ve seen lately.

Rapper Weeds Spirit

Rapper Weed had already won me over with their numerous pop culture flips and the fire in their pockets, but the new collab they released with Rook takes everything to a new level. First, let me say I LOVE Casper the Friendly Ghost so these guys were stars in my eyes before I even broke the bag, but the flower doesn’t disappoint. It’s worth noting that these guys are a white label company in California, which I know can be daunting to some, but to me it just means they keep making sure that the best is in their pockets – don’t only the best that they have grown.

Hourglass Kompact

I’ll start by admitting beforehand that I totally expected the ‘Kompact’ to be much smaller than it actually is, but I don’t know if any reasonable person has ever complained that a bong was too big , so let’s get that out of the way. From a technical point of view, this thing is just as good as its larger counterpart, it’s just a little bit smaller. However, the reduced size resulted in increased portability, now with an included travel bag, making this device much more maneuverable than its predecessor and therefore much more likely to be used. While I love the old model, this is a lot more of a centerpiece while this one can still stop a show, but it will fit your bartop a lot better.

Fidel’s Cookies Hash Holes

Here, too, I was skeptical. Given Because of the story behind these products, I had little confidence that the leisure market could do justice to the ‘Super Doober’, as I like to call it. Well, friends, allow me to stand corrected one more time, Fidel cracked the code. Although they are a bit thinner and with less hashish than on the traditional market, these heavy, professional-level smokers deliver the full effect of the combustible concentrate core without any work. While I know a lot of us like to roll our own, rolling the extract snake is always a chore, so let Fidel take the work off the fun. And remember, donuts are for cops.

BTY strawberry

Now I’ve said multiple times that I’m a taste guy so this next one will check all of the correct boxes for me. BTY’s latest release, Fresa, is like a daydream in the strawberry field. With the sweetest nose and taste imaginable from a cannabis plant, the smoke certainly retains the appeal of the flowers, preparing me for a wonderfully blissful afternoon. While I know this has far less funk than the OGs and is way sweeter than even the Gelato and Runtz crosses that are flooding the market, BTY and Heisenbern certainly have a winner here, and I expect him to for newbies that goes down well.
