Verzura recommends a quartz rod and a clammer, which can be relatively affordable compared to the Volcano or electric nail. He likes this method because it keeps the heat controlled. When the level of heat is controlled, so is the desired effect. At lower temperature the levels of THC & terpenes come out providing more relief for vascular and nerve pain, offering higher energy and stimulation of appetite. At higher temperatures, more CBDs & CBNs rather than THC are released, providing relief for muscle spasm relief and inflammatory issues.
How one dabs depends on the desired effect. It’ s a wide world of different, crazy techniques. Take the time to find out what works best for you. RiverRock offers online videos to educate patients on dabbing. Visit http:// riverrockcolorado. com / lear. php for more information. Scan the QR code to watch RiverRock’ s LearnDab videos.
As always, medicate at home but especially with dabbing. Treat it as you would a heavy narcotic, as it can impair you quite a bit. Don’ t drive, operate heavy machinery or make plans to run a mile until you are comfortable with this form of medicating.

Concentrate Reviews by Monacle Man

14er Holistics- SoTruth 45m & Indica Blend Cannlabs Tested- 69.62 % Total Active Cannabinoids
In the last year wax and shatter have taken over the scene and people seem to have forgotten about good‘ ol fashioned cold water bubble hash. 14er Holistics in Boulder has a wide selection of hash to choose from. I have had their flower in the past but this was my first experience with their hash. For this review we picked up SoTruth and an Indica Blend. The SoTruth was my favorite of the two. It had an earthy smell and sweet smooth taste. I tried it on my spoon pipe with quartz wand and loved the flavor. The name is fitting because this strain was the truth: a strong head and body high that left me in a highly relaxed state. For the Indica Blend I sprinkled the top of my bowl. The bubble gave the flowers a nice boost and enhanced the overall flavor. It bubbled and melted away like a quality cold-water extract should. Next time you are needing hash for your stash, go old school and pick up some bubble from 14er Holistics. 2897 Mapleton Ave., Ste. 800, Boulder, CO 80301
Denver Relief- Biodiesel Wax Cannlabs Tested- 84.57 % Total Active Cannabinoids
Biodiesel is one of the staples at Denver Relief on Broadway. The Sensi Star x Sour Diesel hybrid makes for a potent strain. The wax was a beautiful gold hue and very easy to work with for dabbing. A rich sweet aroma bursts when I untwisted the jar. The smell and taste of the flowers really comes through on this extraction. As soon as I exhaled my eyes immediately became heavy and watery. A head rush followed that had me feeling light as if I could float away. I wouldn’ t recommend dabbing this strain if you have a lot of stuff to get done as this is a long lasting couch lock high. I tried a lot of amazing concentrates for this issue and this one was one of the best. www. denverrelief. com
