September 2, 2020

About The Brand

The company are based in New York, USA and made up of a team of inventors who specialize in designing and creating these beautiful universal gravity water-bongs, I’m almost certain you’ve never seen anything like it. They first launched back in early 2019 since then the brand has come a long way introducing other another stunning pieces and variants like The Infinity Waterfall. You may have seen their family of products as they were featured on platforms such as NowThis, HERB & Lad Bible.

First Impressions

The moment I opened the box I knew this item was a premium product created with huge amount of attention, detail, care and of course love. There is no question about it, it’s unique and this majestic piece will be a hit at any session you bring it along to. It’s shaped like a genie lamp – hence the name – it has dual chambers, one to hold the water and the other to hold the smoke, you’ll find the slide and stem are one piece all nicely packed in the box for you ready to go. Don’t worry you’ll get instructions with photos as well 😉

Function & Design

I’m a joint smoker, always have been and always will be! Like many of us I have owned a number of bongs but never have I owned or even seen anything like The Jinni Pipe.

I’m not going to lie I was a little nervous but excited to finally be able to experience it and even show some of my friends online, I’ve had the pleasure of practicing and using the Jinni Pipe over the last few weeks and let me tell you, it’s been fun! it’s not too heavy but it’s definitely not too light so if you are scared of dropping it, don’t be!

It’s actually very comfortable to hold. I think The Jinni Pipe is one that you can easily travel with besides the clear fact it is an ideal size it’s also easy to clean which is a bonus with any new glassware and help maintain like how you first set eyes on this piece.

Now..to the fun part. After I spent a few minutes taking in all of its beauty, holding it like I’m at a dinner party. Slide the stem in, fill the water till it just passes the end of the stem and you’re good to go.

Get your flower and fill the bowl. Now for the “scary” bit, light your herb and start to tilt the Jinni Pipe away from you and you’ll see the beautiful milky clouds being created, once the chamber is filled with goodness you can take the slide out, still keep it tilted and take the slide out and tilt towards you and enjoy the smooth lipless hit from the bong! If you have baby lungs don’t add too much material in the bowl.

What Is A Gravity Bong?

The gravity bong is one of the many ways one can consume Cannabis. Traditionally the method that is used is with two empty plastic bottles to carry the smoke through water and push it into your lungs. Gravity bongs work by submerging a small bottle with a bowl of cannabis on top in a larger bottle or bucket of water. While lighting the cannabis, slowly draw the bottle out of the water to fill with smoke from the burning cannabis. Unscrew the lid, put your mouth over the bottle’s opening, and push the bottle down to let gravity propel the cannabis smoke into your lungs.

Shut Up & Take My Money

If you are wanting to add one of these beautiful pieces to your glass collection or lounge room as decor, you can place an order for The Jinni Pipe through the company directly, please see the link below

This isn’t the first time the footwear giants, Nike, have incorporated hemp into their shoes and certainly won’t be the last. Back in 2004 they low-key showed their love for the herb when Nike launched a shoe appropriately on 4/20 as part of the OG ‘Hemp Pack’ alongside 2 other colors but it was the Nike SB Dunk Low Green Hemp that herb lovers were wanting as there were only 420 pairs available. You had to know someone who knew someone to pick yourself one of these. To my surprise these are currently on the market for $4k+, don’t believe me? Scope the StockX listing.

You’ll find these latest styles have been influenced by a minimalist Japanese design.

My favorite feature of the pair is the blue you’ll notice the color appears in the iconic swoosh and stitching, all this compliments the style.

Microdosing Cannabis: How It Affects You

By

August 17, 2020

Microdosing means using the smallest amounts of a substance to get the desired effects. People try microdosing cannabis to experience the benefits for which they were prescribed marijuana without getting psychoactive effects. This way they can function normally during the daytime.

Microdosing is commonly used by individuals with cannabinoid sensitivity, those who want to avoid weed intoxication, and people who are not sure about the exact amount of cannabis that would be most enjoyable for them.

Many individuals report that to avoid uncomfortable feelings from cannabis over consumption, they start with a minimum dosage and increase it as needed. Some of them say that small amounts of marijuana helped them to feel less anxious, but a larger dosage influenced the opposite. Also, microdosing helps to save money spent on treatment. You can check it yourself by reading a blog on AskGrowers.

How To Microdose Cannabis?

The amount of cannabis varies from person to person, so there is no simple answer that will work for everybody. Each person has a different sensitivity to experience the benefits of marijuana. Thus, the amount of weed differs depending on one’s tolerance, metabolism, physical condition, individual physiology, genetics, and previous experience of marijuana consumption. Doctors say that what will work well for one individual may be completely ineffective for another. Moreover, it can even produce some unwanted effects.

According to healthcare specialists, the main goal is to use the dose that provides the minimum noticeable effect. Most people who are interested in medical marijuana microdosing, start with 2.5 mg of (THC) tetrahydrocannabinol. In some cases, patients are prescribed even a smaller dosage of 1 mg. It doesn’t matter at what dosage you start, it’s more important to give it time before consuming more and to increase the amount very slowly.

Stick to your initial dosage for at least 3 days before increasing it. Then gradually raise your dosage until you experience the medication’s effect. Once you feel it works and you continually experience symptoms relief, identify this amount as your optimal level of microdosing THC. Sometimes people build up a tolerance to marijuana, so it gets needed to spend a few days without using cannabis and then to start microdosing again. Accurate microdosing is possible with legal marijuana products, such as oils, tinctures, and edibles, but not with vaping or smoking as it gets too difficult to define the amount of THC precisely.

When To Use Microdosing?

Researchers have revealed that excessive use of cannabis may harm health. The overuse of marijuana can cause dependence and affect an individual’s mental health. When THC provokes the high, the body starts producing a bigger amount of dopamine. This may lead to increased tolerance for the drug and doesn’t allow the medication to provide its benefits without a constant increase in dosage.

Moreover, according to the statistics, people struggling with severe mental disorders will feel high if they don’t use a microdose. It means the chances for psychotic episodes and erratic behaviors grow.

Although medical marijuana shows great results in the treatment of various diseases, defining the correct dosage is a common issue for many doctors. Fortunately, microdosing helps to find the right dosage for a patient. This method allows us to get all the appropriate results without intoxication and side effects caused by THC.

When it comes to cannabis, sometimes less is more. Microdosing is used by people when they don’t want to have psychoactive effects of weed that may be a problem for their daily life. Marijuana microdosing is not commonly used for recreational purposes or severe disease symptoms, but to slightly enhance physical and psychological well-being.

Microdosing can be tried to treat any condition for which you can get a medical marijuana card. The list of these medical conditions varies from state to state but may include the following: cancer, HIV, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Tourette Syndrome, and autism. Also, cannabis can be prescribed for PTSD, sleep disorders, depression as well as anxiety disorders. Patients may use medical marijuana in case they struggle with Crohn’s disease, chronic muscle spasms, glaucoma, Parkinson’s disease, and chronic pain.

Conclusion

Today, doctors don’t just prescribe the cannabis plant for treatment but provide it in various forms to make marijuana safer. Now a lot of research is conducted in this area. For instance, there was a study that researched the treatment of cancer patients who were not responsive to typical pain management strategies. Cancer patients were prescribed a cannabis-based medication called Nabiximols. Interestingly, the group of patients who took the smallest dosages of it felt the greatest pain relief. On the contrary, the pain got even worse in the group of people taking a bigger amount of the substance. So the microdosing of Nabiximols shows better results in pain management than a higher-than-average amount of the medication. Moreover, a higher dosage may even cause the opposite effect making patients high and unable to deal with their pain. Besides, Nabiximols is used to address other side effects of cancer treatment, such as nausea and vomiting.

Another research conducted on people who have PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) revealed that synthetic cannabinoid Nabilone is also more helpful in a small dosage. Scientists discovered that it relieves the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder more effectively when it’s taken in a microdose. Nabilone helped with insomnia and nightmares when it was prescribed in a small amount.

Scientists argue that higher doses of cannabis may lead to problems with focusing and anxiety. So that is why such medical conditions as depression, pain, and anxiety disorders are better treated with microdosing. Doctors also note that it can be a good method for people who consume marijuana for the first time. Microdosing helps to decrease the chance of negative experience if cannabis is introduced to a new person.

6 Cannabis Strains That May Help With Your Focus

Experts are divided on whether cannabis helps with focus, as it all depends on the use of cannabis, what kind of work the user is doing and what type of cannabis is being used.

Officially, the scientific jury is still out on whether or not cannabis helps with focus. Several studies seem to show that cannabis decreases motivation, but they are very limited and do not take into account all of the variables – for example, what type of work the user is performing and what type of cannabis is being used.

On the other hand, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that suggests cannabis may help with focus and be more productive. Some sources even claim that cannabis can be used as an effective treatment for ADD/ADHD medication. Of course, this has yet to be tested, let alone proven. In any case, cannabis can help you focus – but if you choose the wrong strain, you could just as easily end up scatterbrained and couch-locked.

5. Super Lemon Haze

Super Lemon Haze is a hybrid, so you can expect a level of body high along with the head high. However, the strain is a hybrid, and isn’t overpowering. Just make sure you get Super Lemon Haze and not Super Lemon OG, the cousin of this strain.

6. Harle-Tsu

This strain has a roughly 1:1 THC:CBD ratio, which makes it perfect for focus. Let your stressors melt away without sacrificing clarity to a THC high. Users have reported feelings of great relaxation, happy, uplifting and helps with pain, inflammation, anxiety and stress.

What To Look For

Above, are 6 of the most popular strains that are known to be good for a focused high. However, it’s far from an exhaustive list. What qualities do you look for in a strain? Let me know below in the comments!

Pinene also found in pine trees (surprise) pinene is a terpene that can promote alertness and prevent any post-smoke sleepiness you may experience.

Limonene is found in citrus, and it is one of the main compounds responsible for making sativas smell like… well, sativas. This strain can elevate your mood and boost your energy, so it’s essential for a strain to help you focus.

THC:CBD ratio. This one is important, but the ideal ratio varies from person to person. If you’re trying to get work done, you probably don’t want to load up on so much THC that you can’t focus. However, you might not want to opt for a pure CBD strain, either. CBD can counteract many of THC’s side effects without annihilating the buzz entirely, and that buzz can sometimes provide a helpful energy boost; try different ratios to find out what you need.

When you’re looking for a new strain – whether for focus or for anything else – follow your nose. For focusing strains, you’ll want to look for light, citrusy, fruity scents. Avoid heavy, musky, earthy ones, as those strains are most likely much more like an indica.

What’s a Hemp Wick & Why You Should Use One

March 14, 2020

You may have or may not have heard of hemp wicks, as hemp products became regulated and legal, and as we welcome new smokers to the community we must educate! We’ve start to see more hemp infused products being launched everyday. And one that’s been around for a while is the Hemp Wick!

Hemp wicks are a blend of hemp and beeswax, this makes for slow burning flame. They’re a 100% natural product and have become a very popular alternative to the butane lighters we have been accustomed to using over the years. Some smokers prefer a hemp wick due to the potential dangers of butane inhalation from a lighter, they’re especially perfect for our bongs, lighting up a joint with or pipe smokers, and here’s why.

So Why Should I Use One?

1. No More Harmful Butane

You won’t be inhaling butane while taking a hit from your bong, don’t forget hemp is cannabis minus the THC of course, so it’s a lot less harmful than your traditional BIC lighter. Of course you’re going to need a flame to light up the wick so my recommendation is adding a candle to your session for that ambience.

2. Low Temps, More Terps.

Not only is a hemp wick longer lasting than butane lighters, and much better for the environment, they are biodegradable. A hemp wick is a simple addition to your daily routine can also improve the flavor of your next hit.

Butane burns at hotter temperatures that it destroys a number of our beloved terpenes found in cannabis. Not only are these terpenes responsible for the characteristic aroma, helping with flavor, they also interact with other cannabinoids such as THC and CBD to provide greater medicinal qualities and an overall better “high”.

3. Smoother, Cooler Hits.

As you know now hemp wicks don’t burn as hot as butane lighters, so expect a controlled, smooth and clean hit. Your throat and lungs will thank you.

So where do I get one from?

Most smoke shops, if not ALL will have them. Considering the current COVID-19 Pandemic, we are all very restricted and told not to leave the house, this is where services like Amazon, eBay, our online store offering convenient solutions really come in handy. I’ll place some recommendations below ?.

The Perfect Herb Grinder | Gemineye Grinder Review

March 12, 2020

With the influx of marijuana-related products on the market, it’s a pain trying to find a genuine company with a reliable product. I just so happen to be Green Sherlock Holmes and have scoured the internet in search of only the absolute best products. I took pride in having a nice bong, a nice lighter, and my favorite weed socks when I realized there was one piece that I was neglecting all these years, my grinder!

If you’re like me then you’ve probably had the same gas station grinder for numerous years that’s dirty as all get out and older than a nice bottle of wine. It worked alright but I couldn’t be ruining my stanky Sour Diesel with some $5 piece of metal. So I went searching for a replacement but not just any regular grinder. I’ve always wanted a nice looking piece that was also effective and durable. And by chance that’s when we met Gemineye Grinders and teamed up to get our opinion on their products.

lKp3Cohn7uq69VO4f4nkjBDUl7GJPc4PkafKGrNVmVZF2Bb8vcRm3HUA AelbWXv8QXjrd8ZbKYEm9j793v6zt6uDd8WNAio0pt6E9HgZ3TJD 95ohWrmeiiT2tinoiG YpU79Q9 Marijuana Education & News - The Weed Blog — Courtesy Of Donald

First Impressions

Gemineye Grinders said it best “That the perfect grind initiates the perfect herbal experience” and I couldn’t agree more. To begin with, the grinders are made from ceramic with accents of aluminum that work in perfect unison to create an effortless grind. Ceramic, in this case, is incredibly more effective at grinder than a product made from plastic or metal given its nonstick properties. I didn’t fully believe it when I first read that this material was nonstick but in practice, it actually works! I waste so much less flower now that I don’t need to go into my grinder with a toothpick to get half of my ground from the protruding tongs. You very much see the difference in the stickier bud. My old grinder would seize or get stuck but I can fill my Gemineye to the very max and as few as 5-6 turns it’s nicely ground. From start to finish this grinder does its job and then some.

Ergonomics

The colorways of these grinders are next level as well. They are stunning pieces. Don’t expect to see generic colors when shopping for one of these bad boys. From the list of many options, I chose to pick my favorite color, blue, and boy was I impressed when I received the product in the mail. The bright baby blue color jumps out at you immediately. The pastel colors are extremely original and just pleasant on the eye. I know with this sitting on my table it is one of the nicest pieces in my collection. Not to mention the wicked gemineye design on the top of the grinder. The all-seeing eye is sort of masonic and mysterious. It adds a bit of edge to a glamourous product.

The grinder is huge. You will have no problems at all going through a zip in one sitting. The basin itself can hold close to 5 grams and the kief trap is equally large. This product isn’t for the once in a while smokers. This big daddy is for all of us regulars out there, for all of us that know how to destroy some nice fresh flower. Even with the large size, the grinder can still be placed away discreetly and hidden from the closed-minded people of the world.

This product might be out of a couple of people’s price range but believe me when I say every dollar was worth it. When figuring up how much money I’ve sent on previous grinders that keep breaking or all the flowery green I lose in said grinders, I actually save more money than I spent. It’s 2020 people! Start taking some pride in your pieces. Gas station products aren’t cutting it anymore.

Why Gemineye Grinders?

The durability and cleanliness of these grinders are unmatched. The quality and beauty of these grinders is pristine and powerful. This is a top tier product that I am proud to say I am an owner of. Not only does it save me money but it looks good while doing it. I’d highly recommend Gemineye Grinders to anyone in search of a new piece or those who have a little extra money and are looking to upgrade. The price might be a little high for some of you but when I think about how much I’ve spent on the 10+ grinders I’ve had in just a few years and how much weed has been wasted in that time, I realize that absolutely every dollar is worth it. For me its a 9.3 / 10.

Where Do I Buy My Gemineye Grinder From?

Simply visit the official website to purchase your Gemineye Grinder, in the color of your choice, they 6 colors to choose from! Clearly ours is the Blue.

Keep a look out for their Spliff Sleeves!

Genetics

A fascinating strain with an excellent combination of genetics that is hard to match; Gelato #45 x Gorilla Glue #4 x Girl Scout Cookies. The lineage of this strain ensures users to feel the typical associated Gorilla Glue effects except that they are heavily polished by the Gelato and Girl Scout Cookies by adding an enormous amount of personality in the mix. The genetics are very impressive and are considered to be a contemporary masterpiece due to the fact that all of the strains used in the breeding are famed worldwide and provide unique experiences.

Appearance, Aroma, and Taste

Beautiful colours spring from the bud with lighter and darker shades of purple and golden pistols enveloping the bud. The bud structure is of high quality, one can tell due to the rather dense structure. The healthy pistils and trichomes not being cut short but instead springing up from the flower show a positive sign of little to no harmful PGR chemicals used in the growing. The pistils decorate the bud and look almost as fine as woollen threads, the different shades of green and purple around it make for an elegant colour splash.

Not only does this strain look unique but it’s aroma is equally pleasant. It can be described as sweet, herbal, peppery and berry-like. It also puts an emphasize on the unique Gorilla Glue smell with some sourness. Gelato and Girl Scout Cookie genetics also play a big role in adding to the aroma and taste leaving a sweet and cookie like undertone.

The taste is quite full and is predominantly berry-like and herbal, as well as peppery notes in the background. It is also slightly sweet and is very comparable to the aroma. There is no harshness and the flavour intensifies as consumers begin feeling the effects, leading to delicious sweet and sour tastes.

High

The effects this strain provides consumers is of high quality and almost balance, yet still indica orientated. It boosts users mood and even induces euphoria, meanwhile the body and mind are fully relaxed and full of creativity. THC levels can not exactly be measured but is high, some report it to be in the early twenties. An overall high quality high and a very well rounded indica hybrid with unique effects. This strain is best used during the evening and night time hours although it might stimulate some consumers too much and might prove difficult for sleeping, however this strain is guaranteed to show consumers a enjoyable ride.

Terpenes

The terpenes that can be found in this particular strain are mainly Limonene, Myrcene as a close second, and decent amounts of Caryophyllene. Limonene delivers a citrus flavor and is believed to be responsible for eliminating anxiety and providing stress relief. Myrcene induces a herbal and slightly earthy aroma and is one of the most abundant terpenes generally found in cannabis. Caryophyllene adds peppery notes that are theorized to have anti-inflammatory potential.

My 10 Favorite Stoner Products

Here are some of my favorite stoner products and gifts. These essentials enhance my session, make the process more seamless and I hope they do the exact same for you and your friends. There’s no particular order, and none of these brands / products mentioned in this blog has sponsored or paid me.

1. Rolling Papers

Papers are clearly an essential part of any stoners kit and session. I have a number of go-to brands which are always on my shopping list:

– RAW Black Thin Papers
This ones made for the dankest cannabis of them all. Enjoy the smooth burn & flavor.

– RAW Organics
I’ve always been a fan of RAW Organics, not just for how easy they are to roll with, even with my hands which strain from time to time but I love them also for the way they burn. These also come in cones if you do not want to roll or are great for when you are on the go.

– Element Rice Papers
These Thin Rice Papers are available in a handful of different variations, from 1 1/4 to King Size, Element papers also offer pre rolled cones which make it easier to “roll” a joint while on the move.

– Zig Zag Papers
If you have been smoking for a while these would have been one of the first papers you would have seen at your local headshop or tobacconist. These were the first papers I ever picked up, no idea why but I’m going to most likely put it down to the classic packaging and artwork they use.

2. King Palms

If you haven’t tried these, you must, not for me but for you, please. King Palms are individually hand rolled, the leaves are from the flowering tree of Cordia (Borage) which are grown on their family farm in South East Asia. These are 100% Natural, burn slow and smoke so smooth your lungs and taste buds will thank you.

3. Rolling Tray

Don’t bother spending money on a small tray, try to look at a wider / bigger tray purely due to the convenience of space. You may want to keep you papers packet, grinder and other materials on your tray rather than putting them back.

4. Jar / Storage

I tend to get asked this question a lot, where do I store my weed? You should definitely be storing your cannabis in a jar but which one? My recommendation is MyPharmJar, not only because I am affiliated with them but because they truly make an amazing jar, read my in-depth review.

5. Boveda Humidity Control

If you know me in real life, you’ll know every jar of mine has a Boveda sachet, I was introduced by a friend of mine within the industry. The beauty of these packs is that they last up to 2 years, they are available in a variety of packs. It’s well worth the investment to keep your buds fresh. These are not only to keep your cannabis from going moldy, Boveda packs are also great for your cold meats, salami and cigars too. During the hotter months I keep my papers in jars as the humidity and the heat generally ruins my papers, this could be totally different for you!

6. Hemp Wick

Hemp what? for the ones who are not aware a hemp wick is a piece of string made of hemp and beeswax. I personally love using a hemp wick, they just tastes cleaner, try it and you will see what I mean! Once you inhale butane almost immediately enters your bloodstream what happens here is your oxygen gets blocked from entering. For my fellow stoners who are looking for a healthier option, a hemp wick is the way to go! Here are some to get you started.

7. Herb Grinder

For me, a grinder is so essential I couldn’t imagine chopping a whole nug with scissors, I have seen people do this before. I’ve ended up either giving them or purchasing a grinder. It’s an essential part of the session and process, the grinder will make sure your herbs are cut up just right. Here are some of my recommendations from Amazon based on personal experience.

8. Tips / Crutches / Roaches

You may call them one of the above or a filter, simply put it’s there to ensure you’re getting all the terpenes, THC and green goodness rather than using a standard cotton tip filter like you would use if you roll your own tobacco, for the new cannabis smokers / medical patients or anyone that is new to cannabis please know those kind of filtres end up absorbing the THC or at least most of it and ruin the whole experience – If you do please quit, not for me but for you. You can honestly use any kind of tips / roaches they are available in booklets, pre rolled or within your packet of papers. I personally love the RAW Wide tips I pair them up with a 1 1/4, not sure why it could be the smooth smoke or that it is easier to hold! I’ve placed a handful of Amazon links below for you, you’ll be surprised to see the amount of awesome bundles available and they offer a lot of value.

9. Daily High Club Subscription Box

If you haven’t heard of The Daily High Club you are living under a rock. Every month the team carefully handpicks items to include in it’s subscription box, this may include new items – like this month they’ve included the RAW Catcher. With each ‘El Primo’ box you will also receive a new glass piece, every month. If you live outside of the U.S. not to worry they also ship international.
