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.
OPEN YOUR MIND
Blueberry Silvertip by Pioneer Nuggets
Sativa 50%: Indica 40% – True Hybrid
THC Content: 26% (potency varies dependent on harvest date)
Terpenes: Myrcene, Linalool
A cross between the world’s most famous Blueberry strain and the infamously trichome covered Montana Silvertip, this strain is one of the truest hybrids we carry. With a frosted appearance, these nugs have a sweet, earthy aroma and produce clouds that smell and taste like blueberry. The presence of Myrcene provides continued muscle relaxation and the heavy presence of linalool in this strain keeps the high at the epitome of stress relief, promoting positive self-reflection and a supportive mental lift. As you go about your day this strain will leave you feeling, sharp, relaxed, and confidently capable of chatting with anyone, perfect for contributing to any 420 session you find yourself in.
GO NEW PLACES
Golden OG by Emerald Janes
Sativa 80%: Indica 20%
THC Content: 21.2%
Terpenes: Limonene, Myrcene
One of our favorite Sativa dominant strains, this flavorful flower tastes and smells like citrus with hints of cloves. The combination of limonene and myrcene terpense leaves the consumer feeling content and uplifted. Physically the combination produces gastrointestinal support and can be used to generate a desire to eat, nearly immediately. Use this strain to explore a new neighborhood restaurant or test out creating a new dish! Food is one of the best ways to learn about new things and people, push the limits to go places your taste buds have never been.
TAKE IN SOMETHING NEW
Platinum Blueberry by Vashon Velvet
50% Indica: 50% Sativa
THC Content: 23.5%
Terpenes: Limonene, Myrecene, Caryophyllene
Have you been waiting for a film to come out? Dying to see the Kehinde Wiley exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum? A few puffs of this strong fruity hybrid will energize your mind and body. The uplifting effects of heavy limonene in combination with low levels of the sedatives myrcene and caryophyllene allows your body to relax and enjoy it’s own pace, while allowing your mind to push the limits of cognitive exploration.
REST AND RELAX YOUR MIND
Plushberry by CannaSol
80% Indica: 20% Sativa
THC Content: 21.2% THC
Terpenes: Caryophyllene, Myrcene
When you’ve reached the end of your 420 adventure, we recommend reaching for a heavy Indica like Plushberry, which allows your body and mind to slow down. A truly iconic 70’s era strain, with a floral taste and smell interspersed with berry and spice, it has almost instantaneous sedative effects. The relaxing compound of carypohyllene and myrcene will lull your body in to a deep relaxation, optimal for reflection and rest, for a well-exercised mind.
