Summertime High Picks by Tim Lawrence, AKA Inspector Dank, contributing writer
During my experiences in the cannabis industry, I have come across a wide range of cannabis manufacturers. Some operate in a disorganized manner, while others have successfully established a culture of professionalism within their organizations. Teal most certainly falls into the latter category— it is warm, welcoming, and enthusiastic about sharing and discussing its brand. It takes pride in its products, standing firmly behind them while showcasing a dedication to excellence. As Teal’ s motto states, its products are“ Curated and Crafted with the highest standards.” Teal Labs, LLC, is led by Adolphus A. Busch V., recognized as Executive of the Year in 2024 by readers of a cannabis industry website. Teal was also awarded Best Concentrate – Diamonds for TEAL Amaze Orange, and Best Edible – Mixer for HiGH FiVE STiRiBLES that same year. Teal is headquartered in St. Peters, MO, and is comprised of Missouri natives. A fundamental misconception is that the Anheuser-Busch brewing company funded Teal. The Teal investment group started with Adolfus himself and is still a familyinvested plan, but there are also other third-party investors.
During my visit to the Teal manufacturing facility, I was given a comprehensive tour of the entire production process. I had the opportunity to observe the staff’ s meticulous attention to detail, including the hand-finishing touches and packaging of joints, the trimming of gummies, the precise filling of jars with concentrates, and an overview of the rigorous testing of vape hardware before finalizing the retail version of the product. It was truly remarkable to witness the dedication and precision invested in creating every product at Teal. Be sure to visit Teal’ s first cannabis dispensary, branded Current Cannabis, located close to the intersection of Interstate 255 and Telegraph Road in Oakville, MO.
Fun Facts: Teal’ s namesake and logo come from the teal duck. The Busch family has dedicated itself to conserving land directly in the migratory flight path, serving as a crucial stopover for teal ducks and other migrating bird species. The Kusch line of product packaging was designed to resemble the beverage products of the Busch lineage closely. Teal posts the COAs of its products on its website, www. tealcannabis. co.
Angry Apples x Papa Burger- Live Badder-( 1g)- Indica THC: 66.73 %- 10.48 % Terps by TEAL CANNABIS
So that’ s why it’ s called Angry Apples. This concentrate is a powerful blend of potent strains, including Big Papa and Donny Burger, as well as Apple Jack and Sour Diesel, thus achieving a result that is both complex and satisfying. These are my impressions after sampling this concentrate over a two-week period. When I opened the container, I was delighted to find a neatly placed, one-gram golden droplet. As I took in the aroma of the live badder, I was immediately struck by a strong diesel scent, accompanied by earthy undertones and a hint of citrus. One of the most intriguing aspects of my dab sessions was the abundance of terpenes present.
The uplifting sensation I experienced was attributed to the predominance of d-limonene, while myrcene enhanced the effects of THC and influenced my mood. I noticed a significant amount of humulene in both the flavor profile and effects of the concentrate, which is known for its antiinflammatory and analgesic properties. The secondary terpenes α- and β-pinene are known for their significant bronchodilator properties, which can lead to increased airflow, resulting in the common occurrence of“ cannabis cough” on the exhale. The subtle presence of bisabolol, linalool, and nerolidol terpenes delivered a sedative experience during the latter part of my high. Despite being classified as an Indica, the initial effects of this concentrate resemble those of a cerebral hybrid, promoting mindfulness before transitioning into a deeply relaxing body high. I would recommend this concentrate to anyone seeking a uniquely complex high.
Rainbow Belts x Tiger Moon- All in One Vape( 0.5g)- Indica- THC: 79.54 % CBD: 0.18 % by TEAL CANNABIS
There are few things more disappointing in a cannabis experience than receiving a faulty all-inone device out of the box or one that fails to charge after only a few days of use. Teal is renowned for offering one of the most dependable all-in-one devices in the Missouri marketplace. This live resin rechargeable disposable vape consists of( Moonbow and Zkittlez plus Pluto S1 and Apples and Bananas) high-quality flower that is frozen immediately after harvest to help preserve terpene and cannabinoid profiles, providing consumers with robust flavors and precise effects. The terpene profile includes β-caryophyllene, d-limonene, linalool, β-myrcene, and nerolidol 2. Upon repeated use, I found that this unique combination of cannabis strains and terpenes created a profoundly tranquil experience, great for relieving pain, stress, and anxiety. Anyone looking to elevate their mood and promote a sense of well-being should give this product a try.
