Canyon Cultivation Dose-It These days, medicated products come in almost every shape and form but what happens when you are eating something delightful only to wish it were actually medicated? You Dose-It! Canyon Cultivation has conquered yet another obstacle. Dose-It gives the patient the ability to medicate whatever they are eating whether it be refreshing piece of sushi or a savory cupcake, Dose-It’ s dueling flavors allow the patient to spray the medication directly onto their food.
“ Dose-It Sweet is infused with oil distilled from organic Indian vanilla beans. Dose-It Savory has black pepper extract which will cause a better absorption making for a stronger effect due to higher bioavailability,” according to Morgan Iwersen of Canyon Cultivation. Dose-It is 100 percent Gluten Free, so anybody with diet restrictions can enjoy. Another great quality about this product is that the oil used is based from organic cane ethanol and sustainably produced palm glycerin. The taste is powerful and so is the punch. Only a few sprays will leave you feeling great and pain-free. According to Canyon Cultivation, this product is not recommended for sublingual use( I tried it and it was a horrible taste). Happy Dosing! www. canyoncultivation. com
Sweet Grass Truffle Brownie It’ s nice to run across an edible that doesn’ t ruin your day and upholds its“ standards” as just a brownie. Sweet Grass’ Truffle Brownie is no exception to this. Slightly medicated in taste and lighter in potency, this is a perfect edible for beginners, lightweights and people who have things to accomplish during the day. Although I ended up eating the entire brownie, I always recommend to start with half or even a quarter of whatever product you are trying. Remember that you can always eat more but deactivating the meds isn’ t easy.
I didn’ t feel too many psychoactive effects but I did feel relaxed and pain free. I also didn’ t feel hung over the next day, which is a major bonus. According to the folks at Sweet Grass, they are one of very few kitchens in Colorado to bake confections with infused butter. Hash and concentrates can be difficult to digest whereas butter is something that people’ s stomachs are accustomed to consuming, so this treat will be easy on your stomach.
They use the“ old school” method of slow 72-hour simmer of their sweet leaf. It is then“ triple strained with fine cheese cloths before it’ s baked into the product.” The Truffle Brownie tasted like a typical medicated brownie-not bad but not necessarily good, however, I guess that depends on your opinion of whether you think medicated food tastes good or not. It is definitely rich so a glass of milk is a good accompaniment. At just $ 5 for approximately 68mg, this is one of the more affordable products on the market so go pick ones up from your favorite dispensary. Enjoy! sweetgrasskitchen. com

Apothecanna Pain Spray Review After an afternoon of shoveling heavy snow my lower back was screaming for relief. It was the perfect time to try my Apothecanna Extra Strength Pain Spray. I have used Apothecanna products before and have always been pleased with the results but this was my first time using their spray. Immediately upon application there was a pleasant minty smell that was not as overbearing as using Bengay or Icy Hot. A wonderful numbing sensation provided instant relief to my soreness. But that is not when the real magic of this great product happened. About twenty minutes later I started to feel the tightness in my back just melt away. I assume this was the cannabis acting as the excellent anti-inflammatory it is, as well as the other all-natural botanicals that they use to help absorption. Another pleasant side effect of the Extra Strength Pain Spray is I noticed a slight high to it as well. I also tried their regular strength spray with very similar results, except for the high. Great for daytime relief without any head change and awesome for nighttime relief so I can comfortably drift to sleep. Both sprays are now staples in my medicine cabinet and I use them both for my aches and pains. All cannabis connoisseurs should do the same. www. apothecanna. com
