Time to start acknowledging cannabis as apart of our every day lives. \n\nIt's never been easier to find bongs, pipes and one hitters in all kinds of stores and online. One could say the pipe hasn't evolved in many years but there are still artisans pushing the extremes of the functional art and it's more accessible than ever. \n***\nThere are lots of recommendations about what to smoke, where to buy it, how it should be, how you should be smoking. The ritualistic act of consuming and enjoying cannabis medicinally has been evolving past a quick hit and a rush. The cannabis experience is becoming not something you hide but something you share and want to share with others.\n\nYou can read about how we introduce our guest to cannabis (link: http:\/\/weedporndaily.com\/blog\/2017\/introduce-your-guest-to-ganja-this-holiday-season text: here).\n\nThe cannabis industry faces a large issue with it's fight between commercialization and artisan crafted products. In the struggle for the balance between fine products and accessibility (link: https:\/\/www.elevatejane.com\/ text: Elevate Jane) finds it's comfortable niche serving those interested in presenting their consumption & medication as another aspect of their life- deserving of a showcase through pipes, bongs and vaporizers. \n(image: 39917804781_5a31f3fefd_k.jpg)\nWe met with Angela Mou, founder, last December at her boutique opening at See You Are Free (S.U.R.F), a fashion & lifestyle collective showroom. Located in Venice Beach, S.U.R.F. is right on Abbott Kinney- one of the iconic landmarks on the Los Angeles county coast. Deemed one of the coolest blocks in America, the street of Abbot Kinney is like the Rodeo drive of the eclectic & hip. \n(image: 39917805291_18274ed0aa_k.jpg)\nNestled amongst the different fashion lines a wide variety of artisan crafted pipes, chillums and bongs were stocked alongside jewelry and ceramics on display.\n(image: 39917804211_5f40cf61f5_k.jpg)\nThis wasn't an add-on \"cannabis section\" to the collective. The Elevate Jane space was a curated collection of artist and designers showcasing unique pieces. At the beginning of the selection were necklaces on display by (link: https:\/\/www.elevatejane.com\/collections\/vendors?q=Inda text: Inda).

Small and stylish for on the go and visiting friends for a session. \n(image: 26044809308_cff01af320_k.jpg)\nMany of the products on display were one of a kind pieces, many hand crafted. The products such as the crystal pipes all unique in their natural patterns even with the same stones types. \n\nMatching the beachy vibe running through the exterior and interior of the store- on display in a silver shell were the appropriately named (link: https:\/\/www.elevatejane.com\/collections\/seashells text: \"mermaid\" pipes). Crafted from two shells paired with hand blown glass naturally bound with ceramic & sand. Similar to the Miwak Junior pipe, the unique shape and length of the seashell pipe allowed for interested air to smoke ratio enhancing the inhalation. \n(image: 26044808738_67e9b4a00d_k.jpg)\nAnother specialty pipe on showcase that night were two new ceramic pipe designs by (link: https:\/\/www.elevatejane.com\/collections\/vendors?q=Miwak%20Junior text: Miwak Junior) in both the Dark brown Stoneware with a hand painted 22k Golden and a soft pale blue glaze bowl varieties- the circular pipe created an incredible airflow experience, enhancing the taste of the samples available. An exclusive product that evening. \n\n(image: 25046199927_36c2c16318_k.jpg)\nPairing artisans with the all natural cannabis market really inspired unique pieces that would be an excellent display for the coffee table and ice breaker at your next gathering.

Cannabis has been legal for recreational use for about a month now, and if you haven't already flown your way to the west coast to get blown, or you're a native who's been living under a sober rock -- we're here to bring you 5 things to expect when you pop into your first legal pot shop!\n\n## 1. Anyone over 21 can buy it\n\nThat's right, you can finally fly over from your prohibitionist state and get a sample of the West Coast's top shelf. You don't need to see a doctor and complain about back pain anymore, you just show your ID and pay - just like cigarettes or liquor.\n\n\n(gfycat: ShimmeringAnchoredDavidstiger caption: Expect long lines at recrational shops like MedMen LAX)\n\n## 2. The Lines Are Longer\n\nNow that any adult can just walk into a dispensary like a candy store, you'll find that most recreational shops are plagued with long lines. Just like your favorite restaurant on a weekend, your local pot shop will get swamped reguarly now. \n\nYou'll also have to wait behind medical patients who have priority over recreational consumers. It's common to have someone walk in after you, show their medical card, and get in almost instantly while you're stuck waiting another 10-20 mins. But since getting a medical card is as easy as paying $40 over an app, you've got no excuse if your anxiety is making life unbearable \ud83d\ude09\n\n## 3. The Weed Is More Expensive (It Pays To Be Medical)\n\nRecreational cannabis is taxed at an extra 30% rate. Medical marijuana patients don't have to pay this extra tax. So an eighth that would cost you $35 as a medical patient might cost you $50 or more as recreational. \n\nAnd most dispensaries haven't updated their online or shop menus. They show medical prices (30% less - aka before rec prices), so you'll have to do the mental math to ensure you don't suffer sticker shock at the register.\n\n(gfycat: DisastrousZealousBlobfish)\n\n## 4. There Are Shortages\n\nBecause of the boom of recent legalization, shops are swamped with newbies looking to stock up on the good green. I've been watching people come into dispensaries and buy $300-500 worth of products at one time, most of the time reaching the one ounce cap of legal purchasing power. \n\nThe weed isn't **sold out**, but you'll definitely have less of a selection than usual. It's going to look like the grocery store during a natural disaster, with that leftover hash in a can that nobody wants to smoke. But stores are **restocking constantly**, so make sure to call ahead of time to ensure they've got the dank you need.\n\n(gfycat: IdealValidDrafthorse caption: There are no coffeeshops in California, but you can find private clubs that sell memberships to spark up on premises)\n\n## 5. There's No Place to Smoke it\n\nYou can buy weed legally from rec shops, but you still can't legally smoke at the dispensary -- or even in public. And most hotels are non-smoking, and definitely non-cannabis. So smoking legally becomes a challenge.\n\nLuckily police are lenient, depending on the neighborhood, so you can toke outside without too much worry. Just don't smoke and drive, they're strict on that.\n\nThere are also cannabis clubs you can get membership for like the Hitman Coffeeshop, and there's cannabis events going on every other day here where you can spark up with friends.\n\n## Gotta love legal weed\n\nIt's been awesome to watch every kind of person walk into dispensaries now. From moms and dads to grandpas to curious college kids, all kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork to see what this weed stuff is all about now that there's no stigma. For the healthy individuals who didn't want to do a song and dance to get a medical card, it's a game changer.\n\nHope that helps!\nStay regular super stoners,\nOscar", "coverimage": "https:\/\/thumbs.gfycat.com\/ShimmeringAnchoredDavidstiger-size_restricted.gif", "covervideo": "https:\/\/giant.gfycat.com\/ShimmeringAnchoredDavidstiger.webm", "videourl": "" }, { "url": "http:\/\/weedporndaily.com\/blog\/2017\/girl-scout-cookies-vape-cartridge-by-habit", "title": "Girl Scout Cookies Vape Cartridge by Habit", "date": "1515110400", "category": "Reviews, Product Reviews", "author": "oscar", "text": "It tastes great, smokes great, and looks great. This vaporizer cartridge by Habit is a stunning example of what contemporary cannabis vapes can look like when you care about creating a high quality, classy product.\n\nWhen we were at the BIG Industry Show here in L.A., we stopped by the Habit booth to say \u2018high\u2019 to our homies, and we were recognized by the rep from our recent livestream where we drink the Habit\u2019s cannabis infused soda. The were generous enough to provide us with one of their newest products to review - the Platinum Girl Scout Cookies vape cartridge. This was part of their new line of cannabis oils, they had the pure oil available as well as dank tanks. They also had indica cartridges that featured lemongrass, chamomile, and lavender \u2014 which they say enhance the relaxation effects of the high.\n\n(image: vlcsnap-2017-12-10-22h05m11s710.jpg)\n\nThe cartridge came packaged in a matchbox style container printed with a mandala inspired floral design on the front and the Habit logo. The box slipped open to reveal the vape cartridge tucked away neatly inside a box embossed with a honeycomb-like pattern. The back of the box features a QR code to check out the strain\u2019s cannabinoid profile and testing results, so you can verify you have a mold, pesticide, and solvent free product to safely consume.\n\nOur cartridge was a half gram of pure CO2 oil from a Platinum Girl Scout Cookies plant, in a gold-colored metal cartridge with a ceramic atomizer. The cartridge itself was beautiful, it\u2019s the first time I\u2019d encountered a gold one, and they even took the time (and money) to print their logo elegantly on the mouthpiece. It\u2019s an eye catcher on any battery, feels high quality, and really increases the perceived value of the product incredibly. The CO2 oil inside the cartridge was equally as eye catching. It was a bright, saturated yellow that has it\u2019s hues enhanced by the surrounding gold plating.\n\n(image: vlcsnap-2017-12-10-22h06m21s126.jpg)\n\nAs beautiful as this was to unbox and look at it, it was equally as enjoyable to vape. The flavor from the cartridge was phenomenal, with clear tones of cookies mixed with a backend of dank OG.This thing rips. It has a solid smoke density while also being impossibly smooth, so you take hit after hit without realizing you\u2019ve gone too deep. The high from this cartridge hits you hard and fast, immediately commanding your head to inflate and simultaneously lighten, while relaxing your body and mind. While I was filming smoke shots for this review, I took one or two big hits and I had to sit down because I didn\u2019t expect the high to hit me so hard and fast. It\u2019s incredibly satisfying to take a few huge, tasty puffs and feel stoned pretty instantly. Not a high that I\u2019d recommend for productivity, but if you\u2019re just hanging out with friends or looking for some quick pain relief, I\u2019d highly recommend this one. It\u2019s a solid hybrid for every kind of stoner.\n\n(image: vlcsnap-2017-12-10-22h06m50s430.jpg)\n\nThe only downside, besides the mouthpiece getting a little hot after successive hits, was how long the oil lasted. Most cartridges last me 3-4 days of heavy use, and this lasted 1-2 days. Each time I took a huge toke, I felt like I could watch the oil disappear from the cartridge chamber. As potent as the oil was, it kinda sucks it had to last half as long. I don\u2019t know why the best things in life have to be cut so short. This is a little nitpick as well, but I really appreciate when companies put the strain name or some indicator on the cartridge. If I bought more than one of these, it\u2019d be hard to tell which is which.\n\nThis was probably the best solvent free vape cartridge I\u2019ve ever had, hands down. I\u2019ve only had one other companies vape cartridge that I liked better, and they mix in PG\/VG, so I\u2019d almost prefer this one because of it\u2019s cleaner - smoother nature. The packaging was bomb, the gold cartridge was too fancy, and the strain was tasty and potent. The only thing holding this back is the fast burning oil, a longer lifespan on this cartridge would make it perfect. The Habit\u2019s Platinum Girl Scout Cookies half gram solvent free distillate vapor cartridge gets a 8\/10 in our book for it\u2019s high quality and high class performance.", "coverimage": "vlcsnap-2017-12-10-22h05m29s104.jpg", "covervideo": "", "videourl": "" }, { "url": "http:\/\/weedporndaily.com\/blog\/2017\/kava-sherb-by-terpx", "title": "Kava Sherb by TerpX", "date": "1514937600", "category": "Reviews, Product Reviews, Strain Reviews", "author": "oscar", "text": "I'm assuming it's a cross of Sunset Sherbet and a strain that tastes like Kava tea.

I see them at every event and dispensary, and they always look incredible, but this was the first time we got to sink our teeth into their cookies and crispy marshmallow treats thanks to a TKO homie at VendorSesh. We are over 300mg of these edibles on a recent StonerSunday livestream to test them out, you can see that on our YouTube page. Here's what we thought of these high dose and picture perfect edibles.\n\nThe first thing you notice about each TKO edible is the dose. Each cookie is 160mg of THC, and crispy is around 100mg, which already is plenty of weed for one edible. Usually an entire chocolate bar is 160mg, so getting that dose in one mid to large sized cookie or crispy treat was pretty nice. It's easily broken into smaller doses to try out or distribute amongst friends. I personally need around 160mg to really benefit from the effects of an edible, otherwise it's too low dose to notice, so this was a great option for me. As I mentioned earlier, the edibles look awesome. I told the guy at the TKO booth that they look like they printed the cookies with a stamp, every cookie and crisp was consistent in size and appeal. And the edibles are very camera friendly, the s'mores crispy rice treat we received was a graham cracker mixed with melted chocolate and ganache and topped with mini marshmallows. It caught my eye immediately,calling to me to eat the entire thing in a stoned munchie fever. It took it to another level when the TKO rep told me some stoners torch the marshmallows on top to get a burnt s'more effect. I was sold.\n\nUpon smelling the edibles, and after each bite, you get a strong undeniable aroma and flavor of weed. The cannabis butter tastes more like plant matter than one derived from a concentrated cannabis oil, so you get this taste of woodiness or twig in your mouth. The highest dose edible, the cookie, was the strongest weed flavor. The crispy tasted slightly less of weed, but honestly the pot taste overpowered the chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow. Usually even with strong tasting edibles you get past the weed taste in the first bite, but the canna flavor stuck through, only dissipating about halfway through. We also received some 10mg samples of their fruity pebbles edibles, and those were honestly the best tasting one, with little to no weed flavor.\n\nThe high itself of the edibles was pretty nice. I got an enjoyable, relaxing, silly high that was slightly stupefying at larger doses. It'd be great for eating with homies and watching a movie or playing some video games. Not an edible I'd want to pop before an office job, and maybe not even a creative job, I found my words harder to find and more difficult to convey. I didn't get a hangover or headache during or after the edibles, especially after ingesting such a sizable dose.\n\nOverall, I'd recommend TKO Edibles for people looking for an old school edible style, with their medicated crispy marshmallow treats and weed flavor, veterans of making their own edibles will probably feel very comfortable consuming these and have no issue getting a solid and enjoyable stone. I'm personally from the camp that prefers edibles to taste nothing or as little as cannabis, but as someone who also needs higher potency, I understand the difficulty canna chefs face infusing products and masking high potency flavors. And it's hard to hate these edibles when they look so good and are so consistent, something lacking in the edible community. TKO Edibles get a 5\/10 in my book for the great consistency, but overpowering pot flavor.", "coverimage": "stonersunday-tko-edibles-small.jpg", "covervideo": "https:\/\/thumbs.gfycat.com\/WateryMarvelousDolphin-mobile.mp4", "videourl": "" }, { "url": "http:\/\/weedporndaily.com\/blog\/2017\/citrus-sap-by-terpx", "title": "Citrus Sap by TerpX", "date": "1514332800", "category": "Reviews, Product Reviews, Strain Reviews", "author": "oscar", "text": "Completely unstable living up to it's name 'sap'.

Not crazy loud, but very strong smell.\n\nSolid sativa high. Not the best, but not the worst. It gives you energy, but not as much as Tangie or Green Crack.\n\nPretty smooth dab.

How do you create a safe space, how do you have an accessible space for patients to consume while not bothering other patrons- what about parking?! It's a balancing act that has been resolved elegantly by the team at Constellations. A multi-tiered shopping experience, Constellations 2 was a winter wonderland just in time for the holiday season. Alongside all kinds of vendors as you would any craft or farmer's market- photo experiences, music, cute pets & a smoke lounge create an inviting space for even the most tepid & curious.\n\n*** \nIn the week leading up to the Constellations event, I prepared to participate in a talk with Canrve on Twitter ((link: twitter.com\/canrve text: you can see the talk here on their archive)) featuring all sorts of cannabis based goodies for the upcoming holidays. I was on the hunt for new products including skincare, topicals, gadgets & more. \n\n###Location by the Beach\n\nTucked away on a beautiful walking street in Long Beach, the THC Design space was an incredible venue. An ideal spot located by multiple multi-story free garages, a total luxury in Long Beach. All on an empty weekend where there was plenty of parking. Surround by shops and restaurants, it was best to grab a quick bite to have a good base before shopping and sampling your way through some of the finest cannabis products in SoCal.\n\n###Shop Comfortably with Cannabis\nIn the breeze and airconditioning, this marketplace is not like any farmer's market or holiday craft fair. Boutique brands gather to pass on the direct savings to passionate cannabis enthusiasts and provide a safe environment for newbies and casuals to learn & sample their offerings. \n\nThe room was bright with it's high loft ceilings and massive square footage, there was a bit of a narrow walk way through the entire event. I found myself more often than not- in other companies booth areas while looking and discussing products with adjacent or neighboring booths. \n***\n### Fun Finds\n(image: 38781596752_28099e771c_k.jpg)\nTopicals:\n Cannabis is a big fear for those with sensitive skin or harsh allergies to things like ragweed and pollen. Finding allergy conscious products not thick with skin burning essential oils and eye watering abrasives- (link: http:\/\/craveskincare.com\/ text: Crave Skincare) was an incredible find. Now penetrating the mainstream events and skincare marketplace, cannabis has been proven to benefit the skin, but only when properly utilized and infused into your routine. Crave Skincare provides the soft cleansers and optimum hydration for those with fussy skin and temperamental reactions.\n(image: 27036321989_276dffdf30_k.jpg)\nThere were many brands from beyond the small central location of Los Angeles. (link: https:\/\/www.humbleflowerco.com text: Humble Flower Co) had an excellent platform for showing off Humboldt's finest during Constellations. This anything but humble product lacked lots of strong cannabis terpene profiles of NorCal bud thankfully. The smell was minimal while providing unique mixtures featuring ylang ylang, white tea & jasmine. Delicate and light these allowed for maximum absorption for pain relief. The focus on providing a product that felt right on the skin while providing relief was show most in their massage oils & bath soaks.\n(image: 38096021784_6c5edc6110_k.jpg)\n(image: 38781590352_60fa3afaf4_k-1.jpg)\nSpeaking of beyond Los Angeles, even California, (link: https:\/\/www.fromeversince.com\/ text: From.Ever.Since) was a luxury skincare line founded by a pair in Miami & Barbados. There are really a wide range of perspectives and takes on the simple topicals from healing to optimum skin properties or ingredients. Instead of simply focusing on formula, the duo brought the next cannabis line I expect to see at Sephora. Having found their samples of perfecting creme at other events it was excellent to actually see the team in person. The luxurious product line fit right at home on the make up counters of the luxury department stores. \n\nSeeing the variety of products highlighted at Constellations really provided more evidence of how large this market potential is. The demand for cannabis products has been heard- providing the next level experience it definitely being lead by the innovators here.\n\nSmoking Products\n(image: 38811952401_41f569406a_z.jpg caption: The Rice Pipe ) An unconventional offering I haven't seen before. A totally unique way of looking at filtration. If you have a friend or family looking to have a more organic and renewable resource for consuming your cannabis that does not require charred metal screens or glass shards that float into their toke- the Rice Pipe may be the ideal quick gift. The (link: http:\/\/www.ricepipe.com\/ text: Rice Pipe) is essentially a style of expandable chillum. Within the chillum as a way to designate the depth of the \"bowl\" a coil mechanism that acts like a stand for a potted plant in the garden can be pulled or pushed into place. The designated bowl can be filled with white rice (for optimum absorption & filtration) to the chosen level. \n(image: 37925665985_0420d82885_k.jpg)\nThose looking for a gift for your soul sister, something from (link: https:\/\/www.elevatejane.com text: Elevate Jane ) may more be the style. Featuring the chic and must have classics from ceramic river stone pipes to pipes designed from different crystals or seashells. Headshops at many cannabis markets have a range that can be found anywhere, little random rainbow pipes from China and cigarette one hitters. Elevate Jane curates finer products for connoisseurs looking to entertain and experience through their pieces. \n\n(image: 24939896468_0418bdb453_z.jpg)\nThroughout the marketplace you could find treats to hang in your home from the works of local artist (link: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dankcanvas\/ text: Dank Canvas), famous for her #WeedWings you can find on Social Media. You can learn, paint & toke with Dank Canvas at her local events across California as well. \n\n(image: 37925672465_66d129f410_k-1.jpg)\n(image: 37925667785_6c20960766_k.jpg)\nAnother must have, dress up a workspace or something festive for your holidaze soiree are the pennants from (link: http:\/\/www.cannareignstudios.com\/ text: Canna Reign). Unique hand designed pieces originally from San Francisco. Alongside these flags which are easy to hang anywhere, artist Camille Ochoa also creates ceramic rolling trays. \n\n

Safe Smoking on the Second Story<\/H3>\nAll the parties and seshes have always advertised toking & smoking it up during their events. The cloudy and damp cannabis events of 2016 are in the past. As you approached the end of the marketplace on the first floor you encounter a large window overlooking the space. Looks similar to that of a manager overlooking an office, but the cloudy window was not a frosted privacy veneer, it was from how cloudy the designated smoking area was.\n(image: 37925682125_d93f821a52_z.jpg)\nAway from all of the vendors, preventing your new gifts & goodies from smelling like stale smoke- the second floor was convenient to get away to without having to leave. Safe & secure. \n\n\n
\n\nAs you scale up to the second floor, a flight of stairs is tucked in behind the large clean bathrooms. Long Beach and LA have beautiful buildings and I honestly didn't know where things would end. Leading up a narrow and spiraling flight of stairs leading to a third flood, the soft chatter & laughter got louder and walkways snaked around eclectic spaces with beautiful skylights and tricky steps. \n(image: 37925687335_435b6b43ea_z.jpg)\nThe third story was filled with another variety of vendors as well. \n(image: 24939892538_7eb3eed27c_k.jpg)\n(image: 24939870818_710b347f79_k.jpg)\nHaving been wheelchair bound, I would not advise this for some patients I know that are chair bound or cannot pull themselves onto crutches. At the same time I see individuals skilled like Tommy2Stix climbing up the stairs fine like it's any other day. If you have a guest interested in attending another event hosted by Constellations at the THC Design location, majority of the activities upstairs were downstairs. There would have been plenty of opportunities to meet with vendors without heading up.\n\n

A Recipe for Success<\/h3>\nConstellations was a hit the first time around, the second time was the perfect platform for a winter marketplace! Providing a luxurious, safe and quality cannabis shopping experience beyond the dispensary or simple sesh- Constellations was the proper mixture of chic cannabis products at accessible prices. The combination could not be beat.

I have been recommending it nonstop to others, even sharing it with a fellow livestreamer with stiff hands from video game streams all day. \n\n### The Proof is Partially in the Packaging\nThe packaging is definitely the stand out factor to this product. Right away the cremes are already prepackaged in a box with a smooth soft-touch finish. It has an adorable illustration honoring their founder's father & his companion who inspired the product out of necessity. It was this pain relief solution that helped his father improve his life & wellbeing. \n\nInside the white & blue box is a frosted acrylic jar with the signature P&B laser etched on top of their unique wooden tops. The attention to detail is clear. Even with their sample size they are passing out miniature versions of the iconic jar. Their packaging exceeds any other topicals we have received. \n\nEven at the quality of the packaging and product, their price point has been fair where I have located them in dispensaries. Their price point is not foreign to an individual buying products from Sephora, Kiehl's or Cedra. You are paying for quality assurance. \n\n### THC & CBD infused\nThe creme is low dose even as a topical infused with THC. These do not get you stereotypically high. This balm would be adequate for a first time patient or casual user, not leading to any debilitation. Definitely looking to be a safer alternative to pain balms heavy in menthol and other weird ingredients like chili pepper that are popular on the market with a cleaner natural and scientifically backed product. I'm a fan of science. \n\n### Varied Solutions\nI enjoyed my experience with the sample of Papa & Barkley Relief Balm. It is incredible what they provide for patients. Papa & Barkley have often worked in partnership with (link: https:\/\/weedporndaily.com\/blog\/2017\/bud-and-bloom-club text: Bud & Bloom Club) (one of our nearby home dispensaries in Santa Ana) to provide complimentary massage & cannabis education services for the elderly population of Orange County. \n\nAs for my old artist hands- stiffness, lots of tight tendons from hard grips and measured pencil strokes. When using the creme, the oil left my fingers greasy but allowed the creme to penetrate and soak in while I worked. I would rub with a single finger the topical and wipe clean with a cloth the tips of my fingers to allow me to type. Unfortunately not good for those with copper glovers or wrist guards. I was not interested in getting those damp with the balm. Other drier cremes leave less residue that won't soak into gloves or guards. It was definitely a commitment applying this balm. \n\nFor my back I encountered similar results and issues. The balm did great for my back. I worked with a partner to rub the creme against my shoulder blade (guilty of slouching) while heating it with their hands & motion. The oil rubbed into their hands as equally, leaving them oily. This left us partially using up more product than we wanted to, it spread very easily. Again, towels are a must.\n\nI have chronic abdominal pain from gastrointestinal disorders, endometriosis & PCOS. Rubbing a little on my front on the lower right part of my body didn't leave me with any immediate results. I find this creme advertised as a relief for a multitude of ailments, not so much feminine pains from PMS or obstetrics. Those interested in relief in relation to that- I would recommend seeking out Papa & Barkley's other product- the relief patch. I have a higher pain index because of my endo and often seek heavier products to help. Those with a lower THC & CBD tolerance may benefit more from this product application than I have or even by seeking out the patch for multi-hour relief. \n\n###The Potential to Lead an Industry\nPapa & Barkley seemed to have appeared over night. I never saw a stage one of the product as we have seen with other ganjapreneurs. Regardless- this is an excellent product, regardless of it's origins. It has been featured in many places like the Weekend Box and Club M. We have received a sampling at the Latinos for Cannabis Tapas & Buds and during the Culinary and Cannabis 1 Year Anniversary Celebration. Papa & Barkley are a relatively popular entity in Southern California. From their presence at the Emerald Exchange to their set up at all of the dispensaries in Santa Ana- Papa & Barkley is looking to become a staple in the Cannabis industry, available for a large audience to enjoy.\n\nKeep your eye out, excellent gift to share for the athlete or office worker in your life.
