Bruce and I started our love affair in the Fall of 2018, but every time I see him it's like the first time all over again. Seriously. I love this strain because it always hits me the exact same way every time: right to the dome! I love the purple/black colors in this harvest and the sweet taste is unmatched. This is my go-to for an afternoon with friends.

I was skeptical at first...the vape pen scene in DC still has some room for improvement...but was pleasantly surprised! Easy to pull, great taste (NO BUTANE TASTE WHATSOEVER), and fun energy! I can't wait to try the other disposables. If they made them .5g I would give them FIVE STARS LOL. But really, if you are new to vape pens or just don't want the hassle of having a battery, these disposable vape pens are for you!

Y'all. This indica has got some jokes! I enjoyed this with a friend and the giggles were definitely there...mostly because we were just being silly and stoned. A wonderful, medium-level indica that keeps you awake but definitely floating...like there's a lotus...in your head...#lotushead

Got Terps? The Sunflower strains by Abatin do! NHHC had these for $25 for 3.6g as part of a Furlough Sale, so I had to take advantage of a great deal! Instead of cooky strain names, the Abatin peeps decided to focus on terpenes and use colors to differentiate them. Here are my thoughts on the different strains/terps:

Sunflower Gold (Limonene): Got that sunshine in my pocket, got that good soul in my feet! Hello, happiness! This strain gave me a burst of energy just in time for the sun to break through all the wintery grey. This is a great daytime strain that left me smiling from ear to ear.

Sunflower Red (Terpenoline): The aromas from the Red are nothing but lit. This terp is often found in fun hybrids and it does just fine standing on its own! Body relaxation and some heavy eyelids FTW. Mix it with other strains for a great way to add a yummy-tasting kick!

Sunflower Green: (Ocimene) Now, they claim this is a decongestant...all I know is that I've got energy for dayyyyyys now. Am I breathing better? Who knows!? All I know is that this terp screams sativa to my nose (thanks Interpening Training!)--a sweet combination of earth and citrus. I loved the upbeat feel of this strain. Pro-Tip: Mix some Red and Green together for an upbeat hybrid!

Sunflower Blue (CBD): I've read so much about CBD and was excited to try this strain out on my menstrual cramps. WOWZA. I couldn't believe the immediate relief I felt! Goodbye Motrin, Hello Blue!

Sunflower Purple (Myrcene): A little goes a long way! Purple alone will put me to sleep and stay there! But when I mix a small amount with other strains, it's like kicking everything up a notch! Great body high and insomnia relief. Versatile terp!

Sunflower Black (Caryophyllene): Get ready to have some fun! Just like Purple, if I medicate too much with Black I am stuck in the couch. But adding this to other strains or mixing it in a pre-roll is a great way to get that body high! I'll be sure to keep some Black in my Cannabis Box at all times.

I discovered Pincher's Creek during the Father's Day sale in 2016. I lean towards denser nuggets and pincher's felt fluffier than what I was used to. I was skeptical. BUT. I was not disappointed and it has become one of my favorites to get the day going or for a pick-me-up after work when I'm trying to battle the afternoon naps.

This is my favorite bud of all time. It is dense, it is covered in trichomes, it tastes phenomenal, and the effects are long-lasting. This is most definitely a sativa, so if you aren't used to this type of buzz you might not know what to expect. There is no couch-lock, there is a small boost of appetite but not enough to get you munching on random things in massive amounts. I enjoy this to get my day going. It really helps combat my depression symptoms, which manifest in lack of energy and over-sleeping. Goji OG gives me the energy I need to get the day started--just like a cup of coffee or a shot of espresso. It is a very clear-headed high so you remain functional throughout the day. If you are looking to get fuzzy-headed, couch-lock, or just "stoned"--this is not for you. This bud is for the sativa-savvy who enjoy/need the energy boost this plant can give. Get ready to get things done with a nice smile on your face thanks to the body high. Can't say enough about this magical bud!

I discovered this strain out in Boulder, CO and was THRILLED to see it at National Holistic! This is a dense bud that depending on the nug, can contain all sorts of colors--green, orange, and purple. I enjoy this buzz whenever I'm at a social event. It helps bring down my anxiety and allows me to have great conversations with people--it doesn't make you feel like the weird stoner in the corner of the bar. Overall, this is a fun buzz with some fuzziness. I recommend this for a fun afternoon out with friends! Get ready for some giggles!

We might have some problems! Orange sunshine tastes just like the name--citrus and happiness. This is a great afternoon buzz after work when you are ready to enjoy time with friends and family. Definitely a hybrid, but leans towards sativa energy. Tastes SO GOOD. Did I just bite into an orange? Nope. Just took a bong hit.

This is not the typical nug-style bud that I enjoy, but I had been waiting for this strain every since a friend recommended it for energy and clarity. She was not wrong. The first hit felt like a nice shot of espresso, but the taste was ten times better. The exhale reminded me of cinnamon apple pie. It is a fluffy bud with a lot of orange hair, so I would recommend smoking it from a bowl or pipe rather than a joint--make it last longer. You will want to break this up over a pollen box not to catch the sugary crystals so much as the light, orange hair.
