Review: Galloping Ghost OG Live Sauce by Bedford Grow
By @medsforheads Lately, the extraction room at Bedford Grow must be looking like a scene from Uncut Gems. The cultivator’s team has been pulling diamonds out of the mine with stunning size, clarity, and terps to match. I recently reviewed the Prism Live “Sauce” and have since had a similar experience with the Galloping Ghost OG Live “Sauce” I got from Maribis of Springfield. While the two shared a cross of (3rd Coast Panama Chunk x Amnesia Sour Diesel) in the lineage, the Galloping Ghost’s Big Easy OG parent provided more SFV sweetness compared to the Prism’s Rudeboi OG-derived astringency.

By @medsforheads Gummy edibles are one of the most ubiquitous products in any cannabis retailer’s supply, so it’s the details of the form factor that can set one apart from the rest. Shape, size, taste, texture, and ingredients all come into play in consumers’ decisions since there are so many nearly-identical options for THC dosing, though some gummies offer two or more cannabinoids in a specified ratio for broader-spectrum effects. Over the past weekend, I … Continue reading →
Cannabis smell no longer probably cause for vehicle search
Monday, a court ruling by the Appellate Court of Illinois (Third District) delivered the judgment that the “smell of burnt cannabis” alone did not provide an “officer with probable cause to search the vehicle.” According to Associate Judge Daniel P.

In August, Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) and the Division of Cannabis Regulation released a statement to clarify legalities for newly licensed infusers’ ability to produce their own cannabis concentrates and manufacture concentrate into vape cartridges. Both were prohibited. Recently, though, IDOA released an updated version of the statement that included additional wording to eliminate one of those prohibitions.

By @medsforheads The finish line is near for my first grow. Trichome-coated flowers stacked on the upper halves of the branches have grown into pistils, most of which have gone from a pale honeydew color to a rusty copper. The tops are comparable in size to fingerling potatoes, while lowers range from raspberries to ping pong balls.

There’s something charming about the humble preroll. It’s simple, it’s fun, it’s a self-contained sesh, and the fun factor is even higher when it’s a playful sativa wrapped up. That was the mindset that led me through a weekend afternoon after finding the Orange Soda Preroll by Progressive Treatment Solutions on the Consume Chicago menu.
