I’ve been performing physical labor outdoor more than I’ve wanted to, so of course, I have been eating a lot of homemade chocolate edibles. When I ran out of chocolate, I decided to switch to gummies, but I didn’t want the “sour” gummy-flavored edibles that are plentiful on Illinois dispensary menus. I wanted something different.

I seem to be smoking more and more concentrates during the day. In the past, I normally medicated with indica strains with heavy body buzzes to knock me out late at night. The last few months, I have been using my Little Dipper to smoke energetic sativa during work hours. As part of this change in medication, I also am trying to sample more types of extracts than my preferred budders and badders. So I … Continue reading →

No matter how far we go with concentrates, shatter will always hold a place in my heart. When I arrived in Colorado almost a decade ago, it was countless slabs of shatter (both from the dispensary and of the backyard blasted variety) that introduced me to the world of cannabis concentrates. It’s rare that I even see shatter on the menu here in the handful of dispensaries at the bottom of the state, so when … Continue reading →
