Strawberry Champagne 2.0 1g live badder by Proper
Strawberry Champagne 2.0 — a Proper masterpiece with accolades to boot . In September 2022 , Strawberry Champagne won the 2022 Melee at the Mississippi hash battle competition . Shortly after this victory , Proper re-released the badder to the Missouri market . This strawberry-centric confection is a cross of Strawberry Bubbles , Strawberry Candy , and Runtz , and the scent is a direct reflection of the lineage — candy sweet with notes of citrus and gas . The inhale showcases sweet citrus notes , while the exhale has a smooth , fruity finish . The concentrate has a rich , golden-yellow color and a smooth consistency . While medicating , the mind enters an energized , uplifted state while the body remains neutral , making it a perfect option for daytime medicating or whenever a mood boost is needed . This item is a limited release , be sure to pick up Strawberry Champagne 2.0 at a dispensary near you . Retail about $ 60 per gram .
Animal Cookies 1g live rosin by Vibe Cannabis
Animal Cookies ( Girl Scout Cookies x Fire OG ), has been lovingly pressed into live rosin , resulting in over 17 % terpene content and making it one of the most flavorful concentrates in the Missouri market . The rosin is a beige color with subtle yellow tones and a soft consistency . The palette features a bouquet of lavender , lemon , and pine notes , all of which translate beautifully in both scent and flavor . The first effects to surface are cerebral , a euphoric rush and a boost of creativity similar to Girl Scout Cookies . The body effects are complementary and relaxed but not sedative . With its harmonious effects , Animal Cookies would be an excellent option for any time of the day . Make sure to grab some before it flies off the shelves . Retail at about $ 60 per gram at most dispensaries .
Glimmerberry Kush 1g live rosin by Headchange
Glimmerberry Kush , another Headchange heavy-hitter , combines Platinum Kush Mintz with Member Berry for a tasty , sedating experience . The hash notes that describe the piquancy are on point — lemon meringue cheesecake . The scent and inhale both have notes of sweet lemon with a slightly cheesy undertone , while the exhale displays smooth pine flavors . The rosin is beige with a buttery texture , making it easy to work with . The cerebral effects , heavy cloudiness in the brain , were intense in the best way possible . Following those effects was a deep , couch-locking sensation that was perfect for nighttime use or heightened pain relief . The only adverse effect was a notable case of dry mouth , but that is nothing that a big glass of water can ’ t fix ! Make sure to pick up your own at a dispensary near you . Retail about $ 70 a gram .
Lava Cake 1g live badder by Sinse
Lava Cake is a full-flavored combination of parents Grape Pie and Thin Mint GSC ( photo upper right ) When opening the container , the first noticeable detail is the consistency of the badder itself — a soft , mustard-yellow paste that is easy to work with using a dab tool . The scent is sweet , like fruit candy , and the flavor is complementary , featuring notes of sweet lemon and dough . The first effects to set in are cerebral , a rush of euphoria very similar to Thin Mint GSC . Following that is a sense of body tingling that leads to a deep state of relaxation , on par with Grape Pie . When there is a need for quieting thoughts
