Mainstream media portrayals of cannabis use have lead many across the globe to form harsh stereotypes surrounding the plant and its consumers. For decades, cannabis has been viewed as a simple plant, for unintelligent, lazy people. But that misconception couldn’t be further from the reality.

The cannabis plant and the reactions it enables within our bodies are extremely intricate and complex. When Washingtonian’s were still living in the dark ages and buying backpack weed off a dealer, these complexities often went overlooked. Acquiring the pot and getting off the corner was a more pressing issue than the cannabinoid ratio and terpene index. But now, just as the recreational and medical markets continue to create astounding advancements in the way we look at modern economics, it’s important to look closely at the property values of each strain and how they can differently affect each individual– and what the long term effects these shifts in disposition could mean on a massive scale.

Our team at (Lux) has created a short menu of Cannabis Flower Profiles to help your 4/20 Holiday adventures form in to an informative and explorative day of cannabis use.

START YOUR ADVENTURE
Dutch-47 from Trail Blazin’ Productions
Sativa 60%: Indica 40%
THC Content: 26% (potency varies dependent on harvest date)
Terpenes: Myrcene, Pinene, Caryophellene

This powerful Sativa dominant generates an instant euphoric high. The strong presence of Pinene offsets the sedative aspects of the active Myrcene — making for a clear, energetic high with anti-stress benefits supported by the presence of caryophellene. This combination of terpenes secretes a sweet and musky aroma, much like the smell of eucalyptus, and produces a pine flavored exhale, interrupted with notes of pepper. If you’ve woken up with a pile of papers to file, tax extensions to complete, dishes to wash or laundry to fold – this is the strain for you.
