Don't ever fall prey to the misbelief that THC percentage matters as much as a really good grower and an excellent hybrid strain. At only 16% THC this delightful 3.5-gram blend of Chemdawg 91 (60%), Jack Frost (25%), and Clementine (15%) sure packs a wallop!

Immediately, upon inhaling I noticed the smoothness of the smoke, the delicate heady essence of the decarboxylation, and that wonderful haze around the eyes. Soon after, my mind was jumping through hoops as I began to access my own personal Akashic records and found the thread of this review and oh, God, yes, I was high!

But I digress.

The only thing preventing me from giving this product 5Stars is that it has a weird burn. A few times, I had to suck like a Hoover to get a good draw, but hey, when you are waking and baking - shifting your energy towards mobility and facing the outside world - maybe a few deep breaths are a good thing.

Selah.

We don't daydream enough.

Maybe you, like I, were beaten out of the habit - traumatized by a red-headed freckle-faced 3rd-grade teacher who used the Vulcan neck pinch to teach us, children, to pay attention.

Well, thank God for marijuana!

As a writer and a human being, I have learned that it is healthy to let your brain wander - to stare out the living room window and become one with the rhythms of the seasons as they change. To not fear where the brain takes you, but allow yourself to be open, non-judgemental, and curious. This is the lure of the Ghost Train Haze.

Like a meditation, the smoke slips up on you, whispering past your lips and tongue - a caress that opens up the lungs. Before you know it, you are untethered from the demands of the present and find yourself time-slipping in the heart of creativity - where questions become answers and time has no meaning - the realm of new possibilities.

So, the next time you need a reprieve from a highly scheduled life, try Emerald's Ghost Train Haze and take a day-trip in your own imagination.

When I first began my journey with medical marijuana, I stayed away from edibles. Due to a few unfortunate incidents brought on by my ignorance in regards to dosing, needless to say, I had no desire to repeat the experience.

After working behind the counter, I learned that edibles are about
1) Finding the right fit for your needs (Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid),
2) Timing: Onset for a digestible is usually between an hour and an hour and a half and should give you a nice high for a couple of hours after that, and
3) Microdosing: Give yourself time to figure out your sweet spot, experiment with it - Give yourself at least two hours from intake before considering increasing your dose.

Example: I take the ember granola bar, which is quite tasty, turn the four clusters into sixteen, and pop one piece in my mouth every two hours; this keeps me on a consistent buzz throughout my whole day.

Pair that with some CBD to curb any anxiety that arises or aches and pains that distract me from staying present to my world and I've got a one-two punch that gives me a perfect lift to my imperfect days.

This tantalizing hybrid comes upon you like a classic Bond movie. From its elegant texture when ground, to the subtle aromatics of its decarboxylation, this herb will wrap around you like an old friend and lull you into a daydream of mild euphoria.

The only drawback I had to the experience, if any, was a little bit of cotton mouth, and the impression of orange zest that accompanied the ebb and flow of smoke from my lips, but hey - it reminded me of having my mouth washed out with orange dial like when I was a kid - but maybe that's just me. ;-D
