I’ve never been good at sleeping. Either I can’t get to sleep in the first place, or I wake up every 2 hours throughout the night. And that’s just on an average night, of course it gets much worse if I’m trying to sleep without smoking weed!
In my haul of cannabinoids from Mellow Moose, I grabbed this ‘Sleep’ formula, which is a pure CBN (cannabinol) tincture. I had never tried CBN before this tincture, but I wish I had discovered it sooner.
I’ll take a dropper of this and a dropper of the CBD tincture together, so in total, 50mg of CBN and 100mg of CBD. I read that they work best when taken together, and it does seem true.
Within an hour of taking them, I have been starting to drift off no matter where I’m sitting, or what I’m doing. Granted I only take them later at night, when it’s about bed time anyway, but they have really been ensuring that I fall asleep. And best of all, these make me stay asleep! When I take this CBN, I can stay asleep all the way through the night.
After years of incredibly fragmented sleep no matter what I do, it’s been such a great feeling to finally sleep all the way to the morning. I can’t believe the answer has been out there the entire time, I just had to trust that high quality cannabinoids were the answer.
I used this discount code, ‘Dallas20’ for 20% off my order with Mellow Moose. Overall, it’s been a game changer for me, and I definitely recommend it.
I’ll admit, I let my bong get dirtier than I should. That’s because I’m smoking all day every day, I don’t want to get alcohol on me constantly while I clean this thing after every bowl. I do clean it every couple of days, though.
But, people frequently tell me, “Just put some Zep degreaser in your piece and let it sit overnight!” And that sounds ridiculous to me.
For one, that’s a very harsh chemical to be using, kind of overkill in my opinion. And 2, this is very easily done in just 5 minutes, with even cheaper, household options. There’s just no need to waste your time soaking overnight!
So, here is the easiest way to clean your bong, glass, piece, pipe, whatever it is that you smoke out of. These same methods can be used with just about any smoking device!
All you need to do is add salt (the coarser the better!) & isopropyl alcohol (91%+ works best, but 70% will work as well.)
Then, you shake the shit out of that thang and watch it start to sparkle before your eyes!
Afterwards, make sure to rinse very well, you don’t want to inhale the isopropyl alcohol. Luckily, one benefit of using it, is that it evaporates incredibly fast, no matter what, so risk is very minimal.
Today I decided to make some infused quesadillas. I keep a stock of cannabutter in my fridge for moments like these, so let’s get right in to it!
I only used 3 ingredients, just tortillas, cheese and the cannabutter.
First, I took about half a tablespoon of my cannabutter (in my case, about 100mg) and put it in a pan on the stove. Turned it on to medium heat, and let the cannabutter melt.
Next, while the butter melted, I took my tortilla and shredded cheese on to it.
Once the butter was melted and hot, I added the cheesy tortilla and let it fry for a couple minutes before folding it in half.
After another couple of minutes, I flipped it, ensuring the cannabutter had gotten to a nice crisp golden brown on both sides.
Afterwards I cut it up and ate it straight up. It was delicious, not too ‘weedy’ tasting, and hit perfectly!
The fat content of the cheese definitely helped the thc absorb into my body, as fatty foods do. This was a great medicated meal!
This one is Mango Runtz, which they claim is an unknown cross of Runtz and a mango dominant strain, but I’m pretty confident it’s regular old ‘Mango’ aka Mango OG. It has that same creeper effect, as well as the pure indica feeling. It’s a great combo!
The nose is a nice sour candy, with a tropical fruity vibe in there. A little gassy too. It translates well to flavor, with more gas coming out in the taste.
These are some beautiful nugs with amazing bag appeal! Smell is strong and musky, the nugs are beautiful and sticky, and rolls up well.
The effects are a creeper, a bit slow to kick in, but they definitely come. It hits me like a pure indica, so much sleepiness in my opinion. There’s a good amount of euphoria too, but mostly just this dreamy, floaty, sleepy indica bliss, that I really love. I’ve been smoking this one at night, and it’s been putting me right to sleep. Great for insomnia!
Nose is light, sweet, sugary and clean, almost like a salt scrub, or a lemon bar. 95% sweet, light sugar, 5% lemony citrus. Flavor is similar, but with a hint more citrus .
Effects are a very even hybrid, good for day time use, not too strong. Spacey but uplifted, relaxed, & euphoric. Can’t go wrong with this one!
Today I’m taking a quick look at 2 different strains under my microscope, an essential and a supreme tier.
This essential we’re looking at is BubbleGum Runtz, and the Supreme is Pineapple Zoap.
I put them both under my microscope to examine the difference between high quality and mid quality flower on a microscopic level.
Top shelf vs low shelf, top shelf vs mid shelf, high grade vs mid grade, high grade vs low grade, any way you want to put it, this was an easy way to answer that question with flower from LIT Farms.
The comparison is very fun to see and I had a good time creating this. I hope someone out there enjoys looking at this as much as I enjoyed creating it!
Nose on this is amazing. It’s like it’s half sweet/fruity, and half earthy/gassy. it hits like a straight indica.
I’m amazed with this one, it knocked me right out a couple nights ago. Super relaxing, very stoney and has a heavy body load. I don’t notice any back pain at all with this. I grabbed this and pink grapefruit, and that one is a nice sativa, but this one is a KILLER Indica. Feeling lifted and blessed 🙌
I was just about to load a bowl in my Ruby Twist, and realized I’ve had this thing for about a year now, so I wanted to share my thoughts on it now that some time has passed.
I was a little bit nervous before buying this, for a couple of reasons. One is that I had tried a dry herb vape before, the Arizer Solo 2. As someone who was ripping bongs all day every day, the Solo 2 didn’t do much for me. It was a slow, soft hitting, session vape that just never got me where I wanted to go, unless I took a tolerance break first. That experience kept me away from the Ruby Twist for way too long, before I realized I was totally wrong, and this thing hits HARD, but more on that later.
The second thing I was worried about was set up and maintenance. Maybe some of you guys can relate, but ball vapes intimidated me a lot when I first looked into them. I thought they’d be complicated to figure out, and maybe even require upkeep, like cleaning the rubies or changing a coil, the way you would on a nicotine vape. Once again, I was wrong. That’s why I made another video showing the unboxing/setup of this device, it’s so much easier than I expected.
So, now that I’ve been using this thing just about daily for the past year, here are the biggest pros and cons I’ve noticed:
Pros:My lungs feel healthier. This is the biggest reason I bought this vape, and probably what I like most about it. daily smoking felt like it was starting to put stress on my body. Sometimes I’d have coughing fits, or pains in my lungs, or a little too much phlegm in the morning. Those things all went away, pretty much entirely, in the first few weeks of using this. It’s been years since I could breathe this deep and clear, and I didn’t even fully notice how much smoking was impacting me like that until I switched. I spent $180 on the Ruby Twist, and it feels like I’m saving myself much more than that in future medical bills alone.
And saving money brings me to my next point, Efficiency. I only put 0.10 to 0.15g of flower in the ruby twists titanium bowl, and it lasts longer and gets me higher than 0.40g of the same flower in my regular pipe. I’m no scientist, I don’t know how it works exactly, but this thing really seems to give you every single cannabinoid that must just be wasted in combustion.
Stronger Highs! As I mentioned in the last one, this genuinely gets me feeling higher than combustion does. It really makes the flower feel more like a dab experience, I love it. A tiny bowl of this tickles my brain more than a big gram+ blunt would, it’s wild.
Flavor. You really get to experience the terpenes in your flower. I hear a lot of people say that all weed tastes the same, which just isn’t true if you have a vape! Now if I smoke again, it all just tastes like smoke, but with this ruby twist, I could do a blind taste test and tell you which strain I was hitting.
Fast heat up & you can use any bong you want. I bought the ‘Cell’ bong, because I like how I can just let the heater sit comfortably on top, but you can use any glass water pipe you have!
Cons: When vaping several times a day, every day, I seem to get more cottonmouth. I’m not positive why it seems worse than with smoking, but I definitely need to drink more water, especially between and during sessions.
I need to clean the glass I use it with pretty constantly, hitting it daily. It gets a fair amount of gunk built up inside of It after about 10 bowls, which really impacts the flavor. Luckily, it’s super easy to shake a little isopropyl alcohol and salt around in it to get it spotless again.
The heat element! When it’s on, you need to be careful to not let anything touch it, and it stays on for at least an hour, depending on how long you program it to stay on.
Overall, I can’t believe how much of a lifechanger this vape is, and I’m very thankful for it. I would have spent much more than $180 on this thing, for sure!
Pink Grapefruit Lineage: Cinderella 99 x Burmese Kush
Cinderella – Jack herer x Shiva skunk – sativa effects come from here, probably!
First thing I notice about this strain is the nose. It’s got a hint of citrus, but mostly a sweet, fruity smell to it. It’s not the typical fruity weed smell you might expect, though. This one reminds me of something more tropical, like papayas. Reminds me of some Superboof cuts I’ve had in the past. Overall, I like it and it’s a strong smell.
The nugs are a little bit dryer than I usually get from LIT, but not so dry they crumble or anything like that. They’re still moist enough to see the trichomes stretch apart when I rip open a nug, and still rolls up well in a joint. The scent translates perfectly to flavor, even in a joint.
And the high definitely hits me like a sativa – a very happy, euphoric, motivating and uplifting buzz. It’s strong, but not even a little overwhelming or tiring. Perfect for getting some work done or going out during the day.
I rolled up a tiny joint of this, and it burned perfectly. Nice white ash, and had a good amount of resin building around the cherry. I’m very happy with this strain. Maybe I’ve just been on a sativa kick, but I’m loving these effects. What are some of your favorite sativa strains? Thanks for watching and take care.
