Nothing says July better than BBQ , soda to wash it down , and pie and kush for dessert . Missouri summers are known for sweltering heat , scenic waterways , and citizens out and about enjoying everything the great outdoors has to offer . This month , we ’ ll spotlight a few favorites : soda , flowers , and pre-rolls .
Keef C . R . E . A . M . Soda by Clovr One secret to enjoying summer is quenching your thirst with a cold C . R . E . A . M . Keef soda . You can find Keef drinks in just about every legal cannabis dispensary . Established at the beginning of Colorado ’ s legalization , Keef has since solidified itself as the industry go-to for cannabis beverages nationwide . The newest product from Keef on the Missouri market presented by Clovr is making a splash . Just like the traditional cream sodas you grew up with , it ’ s now infused with 25mg of THC .
With Keef ’ s resealable can , this product is perfect for weekend float trips , lake house fun , or just relaxing poolside in the backyard . Keef ’ s 25mg sodas typically retail around $ 10- $ 13 in Missouri , making this an affordable cannabis product ! Sodas provide a unique approach and experience to cannabis use . Drinkable products act as a double whammy for cannabinoid absorption , as the consumer will absorb cannabinoids sublingually as well as ingesting –– it ’ s like a tincture and edible in one ! With the dual absorption pathways , this product will have a rapid onset time . Typically , consumers can expect to see effects around 15-20 minutes after ingestion . This soda will provide a balanced effect that can make you feel like you are on top of the world . Don ’ t forget to ask your budtender about the new Keef C . R . E . A . M . soda during your next dispensary visit !

Payton has taken the cannabis world by surprise . Now , the Robust brand has taken Gary Payton and bred it with another cannabis classic , Georgia Pie , creating one of my favorite options on dispensary shelves , Payton ’ s Pie .

Robust sets itself apart as one of the only greenhouse-grown organic cultivators in the state . Organic practices , combined with natural sunlight , allow the cannabis plant to reach its fullest and truest expression . Robust continues to push the envelope with its Payton ’ s Pie . This cultivar has tested above 25 % THC and is approaching the 28 % mark for total cannabinoids . As more consumers learn about terpenes , more are buying based on terpene profiles and testing , and Payton ’ s Pie has crossed the 3 % total terpene mark several times in
