Orange Velvet OG – Sativa Dominant From MediThrive

“Oh my God” is the most common thing people say after smelling Orange Velvet OG.  It doesn’t just smell good for weed, it is a very pleasant scent in general.  It is very fresh and citrusy. It has a similar to freshly baked cookies, once you smell it an intense craving follows shortly after.

“The association of fragrance and emotion is not an invention of poets or perfume-makers. Our olfactory receptors are directly connected to the limbic system, the most ancient and primitive part of the brain, which is thought to be the seat of emotion.” -sirc.org

This strain definitely evokes a very pleasant emotional response. One smell of Orange Velvet OG and you’ll feel your cares and worries float away. Smoking this strain would definitely help pull you out of a bad mood. The taste is also just as good, it’s almost like you are smoking a fruit smoothie.

The high of Orange Velvet OG is just as good as the smell and taste. It is a clear-headed, energizing high. Focus isn’t very difficult and it’s relatively easy to still be productive. Pair this strain with a cup of coffee and you are ready to tackle any challenge the day presents.  It’s definitely a strain that lends itself to creativity.

MediThrive gives out their medicine in convenient tin cans. This helps the Orange Velvet OG not only stay fresh, but keeps the nugs in near perfect condition. The clear top is a nice touch too.

This strain is $60 for 4 grams, and worth every cent.

The smell, the taste, the high, everything about this strain is wonderful.

Don’t Be Shy With That Weed Honey

I have never regretted putting weed honey on anythang. In my opinion there is no better edible. It is strong, taste great, and there’s just something fun about it. I have been using the Canna Honey from the Green Cross. Here are some of my favorite recipes:

Grilled Honey BBQ Chicken Wangs

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces Barbecue sauce (I like to mix Stubbs Original and Spicy)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1.5 lbs of chicken wings
• a few dashes of red pepper flakes
• 3 ounces weed honey

Directions:

1. Salt and pepper the wings to taste.

2. In a large bowl mix in the barbecue sauce, red pepper flakes, and weed honey.

3. Add the wings to the bowl, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

4. Preheat the grill for  medium heat.

5. Lightly oil the grill grate, and arrange the chicken on the grill.

6. Cook for about 10 minutes on one side and flip the wings. Coat again with the marinade and let cook for another ten mins or until the juices run clear.

This is always a favorite when we have people over for cookouts. It’s the perfect appetizer for any meal you might be cooking. It’s fun on several levels and guaranteed not to disappoint.

Slow Cooker Honey BBQ  Ribs

Ingredients:

• 4 pounds pork baby back ribs
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1 cup chili sauce
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 dash hot sauce
• 3 shots of Makers Mark Whisky
• 3 ounces weed honey

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

2. Season ribs with salt and pepper. Place in a shallow baking pan. Brown in oven for 15 minutes. Turn over and brown another 15 minutes. Drain fat.

3. Mix together the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, Whisky, and weed honey.

4. Place the ribs in the slow cooker and pour sauce over ribs. Turn to coat.

5. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.

First off if anyone on this website doesn’t own a slow cooker, I would recommend you get one immediately. They are relatively inexpensive and perfect if you are too busy to cook. I picked this one up off amazon for under $50: Slow Cooker.  You can prepare this meal before you leave for work and come home to a delicious home cooked meal. This recipe is especially awesome because you have lots of sauce to dip your ribs in. I also find it compliments mashed potatoes quite nicely.

Vegetarian Option: Salad with Weed Honey

Ingredients:

• Mixed Green Sald
• Dry Roasted Pistachios
• Strawberries
• Goat Honey Cheese
• Balsamic vinegar
• weed honey

Directions:

This one is pretty self explanatory. Just mix everything in a bowl and enjoy.

It’s also worth mentioning that a peanut butter and weed honey sandwich with banana is the perfect snack to pack for the airport.

Flat Top Purple – Indica From Grass Roots

I tried writing this post immediately after smoking Flat Top Purple, but found I later had to revisit the post in order for it to be coherent. After thinking about it,  I decided the best way to describe this strain would be for you to read my original post. I could not think of the article, or even paragraph as a whole. Each sentence was it’s own challenge.  Read below to get an idea of how scrambled my thoughts were shortly after consuming:

“I could almost rationalize  putting this blog post off until tomorrow because I was too high. Flat Top Purple would definitely fall under the “late night weed” for most. Concentration is difficult, and attention span short. Interrupted streams of consciousness. Distractions are very easy to give in to.

This is perfect for smoking a bowl and laying down and listening to headphones. This is definitely a very indica stoned feel. In fact I keep getting side tracked writing this post getting lost in a song.

Taste of this was very sweet.

This strain could be used to make cologne or perfume.

Recommended Activities: Laying down, listening to music, sleeping, relaxing.”

As you can see Flat Top Purple is the very epitome of  an indica high. It is a very intense body high, but also makes concentrating on anything extremely challenging. This is definitely not a productive strain and should be used more for relaxing than making your day more interesting. If you have problems sleeping this is the strain for you. I have actually passed out face down on my bed still wearing my shoes on more than one occasion after smoking this weed…

One of the best thangs about purple weed in my opinion is the smell and taste. I would recommend rolling a joint to really experience the great taste of Flat Top Purple. I haven’t smoked many strains that taste or smell more enjoyable than this one.

Skywalker OG – Indica From The Green Cross

This strand comes from The Green Cross and was dropped off directly to my work, where I proceeded to purchase it with a credit card. The first thing I noticed about Skywalker OG was how covered in keif it was.  I ground up a large nug directly on my kitchen table. Under the ground weed there was a pretty decent pile of keif resting at the bottom. The first thing on the day’s agenda after smoking was to meet my friends at the local strip club for an all you can eat buffet for only $5!! While driving to meet my friends, I had to do some skillful navigating by a large semi truck in a small side street, but did not feel hindered by the high. After walking into the strip club at 11 AM the Skywalker OG definitely made the bright colorful lights and dark club feel like the spot to be.  The buffet hotdogs were extra flavorful and the stripper-techno music sounded surprisingly nice.

After we got our fill of chicken wangs and tittays we walked back out into the bright afternoon sun. It took a little time for our eyes and brains to adjust, but we managed to find our way home. We then smoked the Skywalker for a second time, and went to the park to bask in the sun. I would not say that this weed makes me feel lazy, but it definitely made laying in the grass seem like a great idea.

In general this weed is a mild, relaxing high. It’s great for smoking early in the day and still getting things done.
