Grapefruit by Clandestine Gardens- It’s A VERY Tasty Treat!

Welcome back to the Marijuana Manifest! This week we have a VERY special treat for you! My wife in her infinite wisdom and impeccable weed selecting ability found a treasure that I couldn’t WAIT to share with you!

Grapefruit by Clandestine Gardens is a miracle in marijuana form and is the embodiment of its name. Before I get ahead of myself, let me begin by telling you about the packaging. Truly the first impression that one will get of the product, the packaging typically will give you a view of the product inside. It shows the logo, the THC and CBD content. At times, companies get creative with their packaging offering everything from shot glasses to glass containers with cork stoppers, to most common, envelopes with windows. While this package was the simple windowed envelope variety, the ease of opening the envelope was appreciated. It was well sealed, but not a struggle to get into. We were off to a good start.

Upon opening the packaging I was immediately taken back by a very distinguishable and recognizable smell of grapefruit. Honestly there was hardly a trace of marijuana in the fragrance- it was amazing. The buds were beautiful and were very well manicured and required hardly any cleanup. Now it was time for the real test- the taste and the high.

The taste was one word: Wowza!!! The taste was on par with the smell and tasted just like grapefruit! Sweet, tasty and tart- the taste was incredible! By my 2^nd toke I was experiencing a good head change and by 4 tokes I was officially stoned. With a total THC of 20.72%, Grapefruit gave me a great high. Accompanied by the fantastic smell and taste, I have to say I highly recommend Grapefruit by Clandestine Gardens!

 

Blazin’ Amnesia by Trail Blazin’… You Might Get Amnesia, But You Definitely Won’t Forget These Guys!

Welcome back and Happy Valentine’s Day! This weeks post is something extremely special and I’m psyched to share the incredible find I discovered while procuring the marijuana my wife wanted to get me for Valentine’s Day. It’s my way of showing the love to my readers! 

The brand is Trail Blazin’ and they deserve to be talked about before we get into their strain Blazin’ Amnesia. Trail Blazin’ does things a bit differently with 100% LED lighting, a medically sterile environment, hand trimmed buds, transparent test results and a process that does not dry the buds- but instead cures them for 30 days. All these things together make for an exceptional product that has no surprise won multiple awards from The Dope Cup and The Budtenders Cup just to name a couple. Their website is great too- filled with fantastic information, articles and beautiful illustrations of their prized cannabis. It is definitely worth checking out at http://trailblazin.net

I will say that all this exceptional hard work comes with a price tag, and I paid a lot more than I’m used to paying- but after I tried their product I have to admit- it was worth every penny!

I tried their strain, Blazin’ Amnesia. Described as “Superb, surrounded by it’s own nanocryptic matrix…” on their website (http://trailblazin.net), as well as “hyper and lemon lime, intense head high, and make moves on creative ideas”, their description is not wrong.

First, the packaging. Simple windowed envelope that showcased the gorgeous buds inside. Opening the envelope was very easy, and once it was open- the smell grabbed me. The luscious, sweet, tasty aroma was a roll-your-eyes-inside-your-head-and-shove-your-face-in-the-bag kind of fragrance. It was intense and absolutely magnificent.

I had purchased an 1/8^th of this beautiful bud and it weighed perfectly when I weighed it. Each bud was meticulously trimmed and absolutely gorgeous- the diligent and time consuming work of a hand trim definitely stood out.

I loaded my bowl and took my first toke and was immediately amazed with what I tasted. The taste was in perfect harmony with the smell- sweet, and extremely tasty. Interestingly the taste lingered on my palate for quite awhile- an experience I haven’t had but must admit I greatly enjoyed. The smoke was incredibly smooth and very nice, and there were very high turpine levels. The head change was instant, and by the 3^rd or 4^th toke I was stoned. A lot. The bowl burned remarkably well and I was able to get a lot of tokes off of one bowl.

For a Sativa that has a total THC of 26% and a 30 day curing process, I cannot say enough exceptional things about this brand, this strain, this process and this product overall. Trail Blazin’ takes extreme pride in their work and their product and it shows. Do not let the price scare you away- I can assure you that you will not be disappointed in your purchase from Trail Blazin’!

‘Weed’ Love To Say Happy Valentine’s Day!

This week is the day of love… the big heart day… the day that some love to hate and others hate to love. Wherever you stand on the big V- Day, we have a few pot-infused Valentines that are sure to make you (or your S.O.) feel extra love.

Last year my wife printed out a bunch of these and gave them to me along with some very tasty bud and chocolate. Nothing says “I love you” more than incorporating weed, chocolate and romance!

Have a Happy Valentine’s Day! We will be back soon with more awesome reviews!

 

Freddy’s Fuego Purple Lemon Haze- It’s FIRE!

For this episode of The Marijuana Manifest, we are focusing on our friend Freddy’s Fuego and their little number, Purple Lemon Haze.

Let me start this introduction by saying this weed made me happy. I get a lot of pleasure seeing people that take pride in their hard work, and the people at Freddy’s Fuego certainly do that. The buds were beautiful and very well manicured and were absolutely stunning visually so for that, I tip my hat to you Freddy’s Fuego.

Opening the package, I was greeted with a beautiful smell that was soon followed by a very nice taste. The hit was a bit harsh… not too bad, but it could be smoother. As an experienced cannabis connoisseur, I was caught off guard by its harshness after smelling the beautiful fragrance I was met with when I opened the package. But the high… let’s get to that, shall we?

With a total THC count of 25.5%, this little beauty was a one hit wonder with one toke providing me with a total head change. The sativa head high was very nice and went straight to my head and lasted for quite awhile. I’d say Freddy’s Fuego definitely brings the fire. This brand was found at a nice little spot my wife found in Ballard known as Herb’s House. It’s a nice little place with actual menus, knowledgeable staff and a very nice selection. If you’re in Seattle and in the Ballard area, I highly recommend checking them out.

Thanks for tuning in for another episode and watch next week for some Valentine’s that are stoner approved!
