  • The Hemp Ban- What You Need To Know, & How I’d Prepare.

    As you may know, a bill was just signed that bans the entire US hemp market, potentially sending many hemp users back to a prohibition era. Some people are celebrating the demise of unregulated, intoxicating hemp products, but this bill goes beyond banning intoxicating hemp, it also destroys the non-intoxicating, cbd side of hemp. NO form of hemp is safe if this bill takes effect. This bill supersedes the 2018 farm bill, eradicating an entire industry worth billions.

    This bill was signed on November 13, 2025. The bill gives us one year before it takes effect, giving the hemp market plenty of time to band together, protest, lobby and raise awareness, and gives our politicians time to feel pressure and change the ban. With some luck and a lot of fighting, we could hope for regulation rather than outright prohibition. 

    I’ll definitely be out there protesting, but here are some more things I could do if I was worried about losing access to hemp entirely – these are not recommendations 😉

    1. Stock up on seeds – Seeds were always legal even before the 2018 farm bill, but this new bill aims to make them illegal. The wording is a little iffy at the moment and could be argued, but the intent is there. I’d stock up on a few seeds with different terpene profiles, and store them in an airtight vial, with a desiccant packet to keep them dry, in a cool dark place. They’ll be good for over 10 years, easy. Even if I can’t grow at the moment, they’ll be waiting for when I can. 
    2. Stock up on product itself – I’d consider buying a few pounds of bulk flower from spots like LIT Farms or Revelry Hemp, and storing it properly, vacuum sealed, jarred up and in a cool dark place. The biggest enemies to our products are heat, light and air exposure, so just avoiding those things is the goal. The flower should last at least several years this way. For bulk concentrates, I’d vacuum seal and store them in the freezer, and they’ll last even longer. 
    3. Stock up on non-intoxicating cannabinoids! – A lot of people don’t realize it at the moment, but the wording of this bill destroys the non intoxicating cbd side of this market as well. Full spectrum cbd products will be fully illegal, and while pure isolate products would theoretically be okay, the plants and seeds they’re produced from would be illegal to grow. CBD and other products like CBG and CBN might not give a buzz, but they give me all the medical benefits I’ve ever wanted from this plant, even without the intoxicating effects. In my experience, they do an even better job at killing pain, helping me sleep, and giving me focus and motivation than regular herb. So, I’d definitely stock up on a few bottles of each of these cannabinoid tinctures from Mellow Moose, a USDA certified organic hemp grower and extract producer. 

    While it may seem like a death blow, we still have plenty of time to organize and make our voices heard. Reach out to representatives and show up to protests, we can’t go down without a fight. Take care and stay lifted. 

  • My Mellow Moose Tincture Lineup: CBD, CBG, CBN, THC

    These are all from Mellow Moose CBD! Code ‘Dallas20’ will take 20% off your order, too.

    I chose Mellow Moose after a LOT of research, because they care about their product. They’re certified USDA organic & use clean, solventless processes to create their products, which is something I’m willing to pay a little bit more for.

    Recover (CBD, CBG, CBDv, THC, CBC) – Chills me out, gets me relaxed, great for any time I’m feeling jittery, anxious or restless. My go-to for chilling at night with my girlfriend, but not wanting to sleep quite yet. Sometimes this one can get me just a little drowsy, so I don’t usually take it during the early day.

    Focus (CBG) – AMAZING for working, just fills me with motivation and focus. This one makes me such a go-getter. If I’m not really feeling the work day, this is the first thing that crosses my mind, before even coffee at this point. It’s a smooth energy that keeps me locked in for hours. I know I’m hyping this one a lot, but it truly reminds me of a natural, calm adderall the way it motivates me.

    Synergy (CBG, CBD, THC) – This one feels like a solid blend between the focus and recover, which sort of makes sense! It’s been nice for the day time, but doesn’t get me as locked in as the Focus. I’ll take this one if I’m looking to really get into a conversation, or it’d probably be great for doing some reading.

    Flow (THC) – Just a classic THC tincture. Each dropper is 3mg, so it’s not very much for my higher tolerance, but I took a couple droppers and it’s a noticeable, clean effect with a neutral-good taste. Rather than your average bitter thc tincture, it just has a hint of coconut oil.

    Sleep (CBN) – Possibly my favorite. As someone who struggles with sleeping a lot, a dropper full of this puts me down and keeps me down. I’ve never been one to sleep through the night, but I easily can with a dropper of this. I can’t even say what effects the stuff gives me other than tired, because when I take it at night, I’m just asleep within the hour. But, that’s why it’s my favorite! I’ll have to try taking it in the morning/day sometime, try to stay awake and see what happens, but I think I’d just be napping then 😂

    Overall, I’ve just been so amazed at how effective all of these guys are. I cannot recommend them enough! Every day is smooth sailing with these in my medicine cabinet.

  • Taking a Tolerance Break: Tips, Tricks, & How I Put My Herb Consumption On Pause

    Before I get into this, here’s a little background on me: I’ve been smoking herb in various forms for about 15 years now, so my body and mind are both incredibly used to all the effects of THC.

    In my earlier years, taking tolerance breaks was a very difficult thing for me. I believe this is because I was young, depressed, had worse diet and exercise habits, and was just generally unhappier in life. Much like the Rat Park Experiment, when my life improved in general, it became much easier to put things like herb down for a while.

    Everyone is different in this regard, and it also boils down to the length and intensity of your own herb habit. This is entirely based on my personal experiences, yours may vary!

    When Is It Time To Take A Break?

    Maybe you have a concrete reason to take a break, like dental work, applying to a new job, legal issues, or maybe you just ran out. Personally, I know it’s time for a break when I just can’t seem to get high anymore. No matter how many edibles I eat, how many bowls I vape, or how many blunts I smoke, I’m just not getting where I want to be. Maybe a little tired, but definitely not high.

    Other times, if I’m smoking a little bit too much, I can feel my brain start to get a bit frazzled. Maybe I’ll be a bit more on edge than usual, a little more anxious. Too many thoughts in my head, not enough processing. I believe this is my body telling me it’s time to take a break from the herb, so I do. Maybe there are other factors at play during those times, but those breaks always help me regain some mental clarity. 

    What Are The Withdrawals? How Long Do They Last?

    These are my biggest issues when withdrawing from herb. The short term ones last ~10 days, for me. The long term ones can last for months, depending on my habit. 

    Short Term:

    • 1. No Sleep, Night Sweats & Intense Dreams: Night time is where my withdrawal gets the worst, by far. I’m basically an insomniac for about a week or two, When I do manage to get any sleep, my dreams are insane. I don’t really remember my dreams at all when I’m smoking, and they come back with a vengeance during breaks. Sometimes they’re even nightmares, or sleep paralysis. Then, dreams or not, I’ll wake up drenched in a cold sweat. Happens every time I stop smoking. Starts getting better after 5-7 days, fully fixed within 2 weeks.
    • 2. No Appetite. Eating becomes hard. Rather than hunger or fullness, I mostly just feel nausea. I’ll force myself to eat little meals regardless, because obviously I have to, but it just feels gross. This one starts getting better after about 3 days for me, and then basically gets back to normal. 
    • 3. Restlessness. I’ll feel a little bit anxious, tense, jittery, my thoughts will be racing, and I won’t be able to focus on anything. This one only lasts 2 or 3 days for me, but it makes it hard to get past those first few days!

    Long Term:

    • 1. Boredom. After the short term effects, this one usually becomes the hardest part, for me. Those initial symptoms might be mostly gone, but my brain will still be getting used to finding fun and stimulation without herb. 
    • 2. Phantom Highs. I’m not sure what it is, maybe THC being released from my fat cells, but I’ll randomly feel high throughout my day for a solid month. It seems most common in the morning, or when getting my heart rate up. 

    Things That Help Me:

    • 1. Filling My Time. (Reading, Hobbies, Work, Errands, etc)

    The more of my time and brainpower that I can fill up, the better. That means I have less time to sit there thinking about how much I want to smoke some herb. So, in the first few days of breaks, I’ll be as productive as I can possibly be. I’ll go for a run in the morning, shower, get some work done, read a book for a while, drive over to some stores and check them out, run some errands, and spend as much time with hobbies as i can. I’ll play guitar, paint, make a collage, skateboard, anything. It’s a good chance to catch up on things I may have fallen behind in, and at this point, focusing on anything besides herb is a win. 

    • 2. Exercise.

    Exercise gives me a natural buzz, fills up my time as I mentioned earlier, and gets the dopamine system back on track. Herb releases dopamine, so when we take a break, our body isn’t producing as much as we’re used to. Exercise is a great way to get my dopamine levels back to a regular level, much quicker than without exercising. It gives a natural, calming buzz that completely takes my mind off of herb and the slight edginess that comes with taking a break. It also helps me sleep better during withdrawal, the more tired out I can get my body, the better I’m gonna sleep. 

    • 3. Drinking Tea. (Replacing Flower Rituals)

    As a big flower guy, grinding the herb and packing a bowl is a big piece of my daily rituals, and becomes something I miss when I’m on a break. So, I’ll find ways to replace it. My favorite is tea; The process of boiling water, picking a tea,  steeping it, and slowly drinking the warm cup is a great ritual replacement for me. It gives me a replacement to almost every part of the herb experience. 

    • 4. Journaling

    Journaling helps me with two main parts of withdrawal; the cravings and the mental tension. If I’m craving a smoke, I’ll write down exactly why I want to smoke, what I think it will accomplish for me, what other ways I could accomplish that, and how I’m making a better decision for myself by waiting to have that smoke. I’ll even start before my break, journaling about my lack of high, and general dissatisfaction with smoking, and Reading this back can help my cravings as well. In a more standard way, if my mind is a little scattered or tense due to the withdrawal, journaling is a great way to get my thoughts in order and feel a bit better. It brings a bit of calm to what can feel like a storm. 

    • 5. Tracking On Apps ($$)

    When I take a break, I’ll download a habit quitting app. I use one that shows me how long I’ve gone, and exactly how much money I’ve saved in the process. Seeing that dollar amount go up and up is a great motivator for me to keep it going. I like to take the money I save, throw it in it’s own savings account, and then treat myself to something nice after the break.

    • 6. Switching up media (No weed music/shows/movies)

    I don’t know about you, but a LOT of the music that I listen to has lyrics about herb. Hearing that just makes me want to smoke, so I switch it up as much as I can. I generally try to avoid any media about herb during the break, even subreddits related to it. 

    • 7. Ingesting CBD oil

    CBD OIL specifically can help bring me some calm when the break gets me feeling a little tense. 

    Things That DON’T Help Me:

    • 1. Substance Switching (Ie; Drinking)

    I see this as a common tip; Just drink beer every night instead! I don’t like to do that. Aside from that being a slippery slope, I just enjoy challenging myself to total sobriety. I feel that I can’t achieve what I want to with the break, if my brain is still clouded by some other substance, no matter what it is. But again, this guide is just what helps me personally, I won’t judge you if you have some drinks or whatever to get yourself through. 

    • 2. Sleep Aids (Melatonin etc)

    In a desperate attempt to sleep during these breaks, I’ve tried every over-the-counter sleep aid I could. Most of them seemed to have either no effect, or do the opposite and just make me even more restless. So instead, I’ll just bare through the first few nights and accept that I just won’t be sleeping much. I’ll still try, but I know I might be staring at the ceiling for a couple hours. 

    • 3. Smoking CBD Flower

    CBD oil helps me, but smoking cbd flower does the opposite. If I smoke some cbd, it’s like I have the flavor, feel and ritual of herb, but the effects i’m really searching for just aren’t there, which makes me crave some regular herb even harder. This isn’t to say CBD doesn’t have it’s uses for some people, but when I’m on a break, I just want the buzz that I’m used to, and smoking CBD makes me miss it even more. So, I’ll just not even mess around with it. 

    Coming Back To Smoking:

    So, you’ve made it to the end of your break. What now? Personally, I try to come back smoking as little as possible, to maintain the benefits as long as possible. If I start immediately wake n baking, and smoking all day long, it quickly feels like I never took a break at all. All that effort and time for nothing!

    Instead, I like to ease back in to it as much as I possibly can. It doesn’t always work out like I want it to, but ideally when I come back, I’m only smoking in the evenings, after finishing everything in my day. No wake n bakes and much more moderation, so that I can continue to enjoy having a low tolerance and feeling as buzzed as possible off of my herb. 

    Conclusion

    I get the best results by choosing to dig into life, rather than sit around focusing on how much I want to smoke.

    The nose on this one is great, nice and strong. Pretty heavy on the gas scent, like strong fuel with a decent amount of a sweet, blueberry citrus cream in the background. It’s definitely delicious! The taste shows off more of the creamy, sherbet side of things.

    The high on this one is extremely creative! 3 hits in and my brain was just flooded with new ideas for all sorts of different artsy projects and things I now want to get done. It is a VERY nice buzz, in my opinion! Very calming, uplifting and just fun feeling. This one also got me feeling very chatty. I’m usually a pretty quiet person (if you couldn’t tell from my style of video 😂) but this strain had me so invested in a conversation with my family. this one would be great for anyone with social anxiety, or maybe people finding themselves in a creative slump. It’ll get that spark right back!

    Nugs are just about perfectly cured. Nice and sticky, trichomes stretch apart, and it lasts a nice long time in both the vape and a regular old bowl. Overall, I’m very happy with this strain, and it’s definitely my new go to for anything that requires creativity and a calm focus. Thanks for reading, and happy smoking!

  • Ruby Twist Ball Vape: “Unboxing” & Setup – A Quick & Easy how to!

    Use code Buddy10 @ VgoodiEZ.com to get your Ruby Twist for only $180!

    A year ago, I bought the Ruby Twist (Particularly, the Ruby Twist Bundle w/ Titanium Matrix Bowl + Microdose Bowl by Crossing Technology) from VgoodiEZ.com. As a daily smoker, it was the BEST decision I’ve made in a long time.

    I’ll get into why I love it so much in a different post, but when I first looked into them, I was so confused. What is a ball vape?? How does a “Ball Vaporizer” even work? It sounded so complicated, and scared me a lot. I didn’t buy one for months, because I felt like I wouldn’t understand how to set it up, or what maintenance or cleaning it might need, all those little things that can surprise you after a purchase.

    After doing some research, I said whatever, if all these people can figure it out, so can I! And I was very right. When you have it in your hands, it is the easiest, most intuitive thing to figure out. Almost as easy as just using a lighter!

  • LIT Farms: Supreme VS. Essential Tiers – Comparing The Same Strain In Each Tier – Which Is Best?

    Skip To Video Review

    Save $$ @ LIT Farms by Clicking Here!

    I bought two different versions of this strain, Ice Cream Runtz, so I could do a comparison. Which is better between the essential and the supreme version?

    The supreme has smaller nugs, but much better bag appeal, scent, taste, smoothness and an extremely strong high.

    The essential has much bigger nugs, but less bag appeal, scent, taste, has a slightly harsher smoke, and is more of a chill buzz compared to a strong high.

    If you’re someone who enjoys indoor, potent flower, supreme is definitely the best tier for you. If you’re someone who enjoys sun grown, mellow flower, essential is absolutely the tier for you, and at a 3rd of the price as well. Can’t go wrong!

    Overall, both of these options have their time and place, their pros and cons. It really just comes down to you and your preferences!

    Personally, I prefer the supreme tier, I love an overall deluxe, craft cannabis experience, and this certainly delivers. Thanks for watching, and happy smoking yall!

    Lineage: Pink Kush x Runtz

    Nose is heavy on berries and cream, a little candy. They described it as “a basket overflowing with ripe strawberries dipped in creamy pink lemonade” and I do not disagree one bit. Sour candy comes out a little more in the flavor and exhale.

    These nugs are incredibly pretty, bag appeal is amazing on this strain. This one isn’t as sticky as I usually get from LIT, it’s just slightly getting to the dryer side. Not fully ‘dry’ yet, definitely doesn’t crumble at all, but it’s not the most moist flower in my stash.

    This one is a bit more of a creeper, it takes a couple minutes to kick in fully. Feels like a very equal hybrid, doesn’t seem to lean one way or another. I’d describe the high as just lifted, floaty, a very nice body buzz with a good amount of mental clarity. Feels like it would be great for pain relief, or going to the gym.

    I’m uplifted and relaxed, and I could easily be super chatty right now. This stands out to me as more of a social strain, and I’ll definitely be saving this one for right before events with family and friends.

    Lineage: Tahoe OG x Runtz🍃

    Originally bred by LIT Farms⛽️

    Winner of Leafly’s Variety Of The Year 2020 🏆

    Nose is loud pine and citrus, with just a tiny touch of cream from the Runtz in the background. Cure is beautiful, when I pull a piece off of a nug, I can watch the super resinous trichome strands peel apart, like cheese on a pizza when you lift a slice. It’s beautiful, and one of my favorite signs of quality flower.

    Flavor is a little more fruity and sweet, with more gas as well.

    This one is widely known as a strong indica, and I can feel that, but to me personally, it hits a little bit more energetic than an average indica. I’m definitely highly relaxed & stoned, with a very clear and calm mind, just not couch locked at all. I wouldn’t mind going for a nice long walk in the sun on this strain. It will definitely help me sleep when I smoke it at night, though. I’d say it’s a good strain for any time of the day personally, despite it being a strong indica. It’s a great one to really relax, forget all your issues and worries, and just take deep breaths as the world slows around you.

    Lineage: The Soap x Velvet Runtz Originally bred by LIT

    Nose is nice and loud, kind of a unique scent. Sour, soapy, with a little citrus gas on the end. Cure is good, nice sticky buds, good looking trichomes. Nothing too special, but well done and grinds nicely.

    This one stands out as the most potent strain I’ve had in a very long time. To be clear, that includes legit dispensary flower, black market flower, & thca market flower. I frequently get to have all of the above, and this Fight Club has consistently been getting me SMACKED. More smacked than I have been in a long, long time, and this is every time I smoke it. It’s been a few days now, and it’s definitely just a very strong batch of this strain.

    It hits me like an almost even hybrid high, maybe a little sativa leaning. Starts cerebrally, immediately giving me a very euphoric rush of mental energy, right off the first exhale. I can feel it in my head, very similar to the old school headband strain, if you remember that from years ago. It hits like a sativa in that sense, yet I’m almost couch locked as well, which is a pretty fun and unique combo for a buzz.

    Great for video games, or maybe some artsy hobbies like painting or playing guitar. I want to say it’s great for a day off outside, but too many hits of this could easily be a day ender.

    If you’re sensitive to weed, this is not the one for you. This is the hardest hitting herb I’ve had in years. Be warned! Feels fantastic if you’re an experienced smoker, though!

    This strain is a cross of Biscotti x Sherb BX1 x Jealousy F2. Opening this bag, I was met with an earthy/diesel smell. Definitely not a muted bag!

    Love the high on this strain, which makes me feel very relaxed, yet uplifted. It is definitely more of a creeper strain. As you smoke, you feel it slowly settling in, making your eyes lower and more red as time goes on. This is the perfect strain for anxiety, insomnia and pain.
