Banana Kush (Indica)

On a scale of 1-10:
Aroma 10
Taste 6+
Appearance 10
Medical Qualities 10
Vapor 10+

BANANA KUSH is covered in radiant crystals. When you first open the bag the aroma of banana is very apparent; another wonder of the Kush family. Recommended for any Kush connoisseur. The buds are dense and they mince well! BANANA KUSH is irregularly shaped, yet a very impressive Kush strain. On a dry intake you can definitely taste the essence of banana. Burns and smokes like a true Kush; as well as taste. It is also very resinous which is typical for Kush. A slow approaching medicinal effect, mellow for an indica yet seems rather heady as with a good sativa. It comes on like a sativa but ends up very much medicating like an Indica.

Butter 101

There are very many variations all relative to a similar method to the production of making butter. Here are three of the best methods that I have used and found to work well. You can go online and research butter and how it’s made, but they are all relatively the same.

Butter:
• VERY dry bag of trimmings ½ lb – 1 lb (depending on the quality of the trimmings will be relative to the strength of the butter)
• 4 gallon boiling pot
• 5 lbs of butter margarine (can be salted or unsalted; just make sure there is enough butter to cover the trimmings)
• Cheese cloth for straining
• Thick elastic bands
• Plastic containers (large Tupperware or 1 gal. ice-cream pail)
• Ladle or coffee mug
• Thick rubber gloves

Freezing Method:
1. Melt 5 lbs of butter into boiling pot
2. Slowly mix in your bag of trimmings. (Hint: make sure they are free of chemicals and foreign objects)
3. Fill the rest of the pot with water; be sure to leave enough room at the top not to stir over.
4. Set the stove to simmer or low heat and cover. Leave a slight crack for steam to escape. Simmer for about 4-5 hours until the butter turns a very dark green almost black in color, stir occasionally.
5. Make sure you check butter every ½ hour. If the butter level is less than the marijuana level, add more butter and stir.
6. Take off stove top and let cool until you can handle the heat with gloves. (Hint: the hotter it is, the easier it is to squeeze out of the leaf)
7. Lay out containers and cover tops with the pieces of cheese cloth. Secure over the top of the container using the elastic bands
8. Take a ladle and scoop the butter and pour over the container until it’s about 6” from the top. Take the cheese cloth off and ring out the extra butter from mix as much as you can, twist firmly.
9. Repeat into containers until your green butter is all filtered. (Hint: most of the medical components of the cannabis is absorbed in the leaves, make sure you squeeze and press it totally out of the mixture into the container.
10. Cover container and place into freezer long enough to solidify in order to separate the butter from the water.
11. Drain excess water out of container slowly. Scrape away any ice on the butter. You should be left with a smooth block of “cannabutter”. (Hint: if there are any trimmings left in the butter, restrain it).
12. To store place in ice trays so you will have measured amounts.
13. Refrigerate or freeze depending on how long until you use the butter. Enjoy!

Hot Method:
1. Pour loose trimmings into pot of water (do not pulverize or powder) mix slowly with already melted butter.
2. Simmer for about 5 hours (stirring occasionally)
3. Use an elastic band and wrap around the top of the pot, then carefully strain into another bowl (metal or Pyrex glass) (Hint: you could also put the cheese cloth over the bowl and pour the mix over and into the bowl).
4. Either way you will need to strain or press the excess butter from the trimmings by both squeezing and twisting the cheese cloth or pressing the cheese cloth.
5. If there is any leftover bud or leaves (Hint: if there are any trimmings left in the butter, restrain it with clean cheese cloth).
6. Put the strained mix into plastic or metal containers and put into the fridge until it hardens.

Sputnick Hybrid (Indica Dominant)

On a scale from 1-10:
Aroma 10
Appearance 10+
Taste 10
Medical qualities 9
Vapor 10

Sputnick is a very impressive light silver green, leafy, dense bud that is heavily dipped in crystals. The beautiful bud has a sweet, clean, musky aroma that when smoked gives you peace at mind. The smoke is smooth with a slight sweet –n- spicy pleasing taste that gets your taste buds dancing. Wonderful for abdominal pain to slight body aches. Sputnick has good potential for stress reduction and depression. A very fine balance between the healing attributes of an Indica dominant Sativa Hybrid. Recommended for daytime or evening use, burns slow and smooth with heavy clouds of smoke. Good job and well done.

Humboldt Haze Hash

On a scale from 1-5:
Aroma 4
Taste 4+
Medicinal Qualities 4
Appearance 5

Humboldt Haze Hash is a very hard pressed hash that looks like a recess peanut butter cup, dark on the outside and light on the inside. The aroma of the hash itself is spicy sweet like Mexican Chocolate. I would recommend to preheat and cool slightly then mold into little balls or patties. When sparked, the top will bubble then smolder perfectly. Not much taste on the inhale or exhale only smooth smoking with a light earthy after taste. Upon the fourth inhalation you will feel a very refreshing head change that clears your mind of all your body pain. Humboldt Haze Hash is perfect for daytime or evening use. Very reminiscent of old school hash, well done!

Purple Voo Doo (Hybrid Indica Dominant Outdoor)

On a scale of 1 to 10:
Appearance: 5
Smell: 6+
Taste: 7
Medicinal qualities: 7
Vaporizer:8+

Purple Voodoo is a nice fluffy outdoor strain. This strain has a foresty dark green color and is a little leafy but still boasts a solid crystal content. It is still nice and fresh so I would recommend using a grinder to break this herb up. It may a few intakes to get one to that right level of being comfortably medicated. I’d recommend rolling this strain and smoking at your leisure. Purple Voodoo has a nice fruity smell with hints of Thai spiciness mixed in, reminds me of a mango chai. Once medicated, there was a greater sense of relaxation from this medication. This strain also heavily induced the food cravings, so anyone suffering from eating disorders will really like this strain. I would recommend this strain for daytime and evening use. There is a nice head change and a slight body high that medicates for a short time. I would suggest this medication would be good for mild aches and pains. It also great to medicate before bed and fall asleep fast and comfortably. Purple Voo Doo also has nice numbing properties, excellent for anyone with sore joints or muscles as well as nausea. All in all, Purple Voo Doo is not a disappointment.

Please keep out of reach of children. Respect all medicine, use as prescribed. We respect medical cannabis as it should be. Be wise, know your rights, know the laws and know your medicine. Would you like to e-mail me? You can do that at rollingthunder@betterfeelgood.com.

Kali Mist (Sativa)

On a scale of 1 to 10:
Aroma: 8
Appearance: 7
Taste: 9
Medicinal Value: 8+
Vapo-10

Kali Mist is sativa heavy strain. The buds are fluffy and a little bit on the darker green side. Folks, this strain was grown to PERFECT maturity. All of the resin glands are fully developed which causes this bud to be particularly sticky. Id highly recommend the use of a grinder when breaking this bud up, your fingers will stick and make rolling difficult and burning uneven with a lot of waste. Kali Mist has a very, very, strong pine smell, almost pungent, it reminds me of our classic California forests. When smoked it tastes just like it smells, fresh, clean, almost with a mint like essence. The high I received was very cerebral and euphoric, one would expect out of a good sativa strain. A very calming high as well. I would recommend this for patients suffering from anxiety to depression, or insomnia.

Chem Dog (Sativa)

On a scale from 1- 10:
Aroma: 8+
Taste: 8
Appearance: 8+
Medicinal qualities: 9+

Chem dog gives you a little tingle upon inhale but the exhale is marvelous. This sativa burns great; you just have to make sure you mince it really well. This strain was grown to its full maturity, it’s very fresh but not wet. Its decent sized buds are dense and tight; since the bud is fully matured it tends to be sticky and breaks off in clumps. The buds are lightly sugared with trichromes; they also give off the aroma of a floral wooded area. Chem dog is defiantly resinous. Burns nice and slow not hot or harsh, a definite trend towards cerebral clarity. Excellent for day time use, although this Chem dog is a heavy hitter. By the third or fourth hit you start to feel the medicinal qualities of this unique sativa. A pleasant sensation of light headedness, but not heavy headedness. Chem dog is great for rolling or water bongs, this would also make a great tincture with its significant qualities and characteristics.

Please keep all medication out of the reach of children. Want to add in your ideas? Write me at: rollingthunder@betterfeelgood.com.

Afdaddy Hash (Afgoo X GDP)

On a scale from 1-5:
Aroma 4
Taste 3+
Appearance 3+
Medicinal qualities 3+

Very different from most Hash these days. Smooth on the inhale with a hint of pepper that tingles your throat and makes you cough on the exhale. Burns fast and even, definitely pre-heat before smoking. On the second draw (inhalation) the medicinal effects began to introduce themselves. Light brown, dark tan in color, reminds me of old Moroccan much more volume then a full melt or bubble. How can I explain its aroma? It is one of East Indian or Moroccan Café hashish, even though I don’t recall it being this tan in color. All the same it’s very mindful of good old time hash.
