As promised in my last post, here is my review of the latest Rove Brand cannabis cartridge I have purchased, Sherbet. With 78.82% active cannabinoids, I was expecting a pretty punchy experience, but I was weirdly surprised. This cannabis oil is an indica dominant hybrid blend. It has a very creamy, vanilla and citrus flavor, earning the name Sherbet. I puffed twice and waited for twenty minutes. Nothing. No effect, no pain relief, no high, no heady buzz, just nothing. I turned up the temp on my Rove Pro battery pack and puffed twice more. I was still not floored by a wave of cannabis fueled giggles and euphoria that I have come to expect from rove products, but I was treated to some body buzz and a little bit of a mood lift. The effect was pleasant and the vape is the tastiest one I have tried from Rove yet, but since I paid $150 for the new cartridge and the battery pack, I was not terribly impressed by the effect of the cartridge when I first tried it last night. But then! I woke...

It's that time again! Time for a review of another Rove product, my very favorite brand of cannabis vaporizer. I subscribe to text messages from my favorite local dispensary (Pisos in Las Vegas), and they are kind enough to send out text alerts when products are restocked, sales, specials, and when new products come in. Two days ago I received one such alert informing me that they are now stocking FULL GRAM cartridges from Rove! Before I was only able to purchase half gram cartridges, but I have been SO eager to purchase a full gram, so this was wonderful news! Naturally, I headed to the dispensary just as soon as I could. When I arrived I asked the staff about the full gram cartridges, but I was informed that the cartridges were not being sold in their own, but were instead being sold along with the new Rove Pro battery pack. The old Rove battery was in the pen style of vaporizers: I had no complaints about this version of the product, other than the proprietary USB cha...

Well, today is Wednesday and I first tried my new Kush cartridge on Sunday. So, how does this strain stack up against Ape after three days? Pretty fucking well! The Kush tastes like blueberry muffins, no joke, it seriously does. The high is less heady and less severe than the high of the Ape strain cartridge. For me this is an advantage. I always have so much stuff I need to do, things I need to do, research I need to complete, assignments to devise... I just don't have time to be laid out by whatever I am puffin on. the draws are smooth and tasty, but the best part is the physical benefits. I was skeptical when I read the description of this flavor, claiming to be effective in calming muscle spasms, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that my skepticism was unjustified, it works wonders for muscle spasms!! Within just a few short minutes of one good sized draw, I can feel the tension in my right shoulder, my left knee and both my feet start to release. And that is when thin...

Well, after three weeks of puffing on my Ape Strain cartridge from Rove Brand cannabis extraction vapes, the little half gram of wonderful cannabis oil has finally started to deplete. I imagine I would have gotten more time out of the little thing if I didn't go on vacation a week ago and let everyone in Northern Nevada try out my handy dandy little stealth rig. That being the case, 3 weeks is pretty damned impressive! After all the tasty good times I had with my Ape cartridge, I wanted to try something new. I went to my local dispensary and talked to my favorite budtender. She is also an avid user of Rove products and advised I give the Kush flavor a shot. Here's the breakdown: Total THC: 69.59% Total CBD: 2.65% Total CBN: 1.89% Total CBG: 3.12% The total active cannabinoids: 79.59% What do all these numbers mean? the Kush cannabis oil cartridge is an indica dominant hybrid blend which is ideal for treating pain, nausea, easing stress, and calming muscle spasms. It i...

I suppose after a while this writing topic is going to get old, but it hasn't yet! As my journey with the Rove vape and the Ape strain I am current puffing on continues, I continue to be impressed. Yesterday I tried out its recreational qualities, by which I mean, I wanted to see if I could get solidly stoned as much as I could if I were smoking a joint or hitting a bong. When I got home from work, I reached into my purse and pulled out my little tiny Rove vape pen. I held down the button and decided to try to inhale a vapor cloud as big as my lungs could manage. This proved to be unwise because at the bottom of my drag I started coughing so hard I could barely breath. I had to spit several times and it took almost a full minute for me to recover from the dumb thing I had just done. When I finally stopped coughing I grabbed all my stuff and went inside. By the time I made it to my living room I was honestly as high as I have ever been. Before you go scoffing at me, here is a little...

Three days ago I replaced my painkillers with a marijuana oil vaporizer which I purchased legally at a local dispensary here in Las Vegas, NV. The results have been astounding. I have gone three whole days without my usual nightly Norco, and that has been HUGE! The Norco is indeed effective at treating pain, but the list of side effects is brutal: nausea, irritability, anxiety, occasional vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, liver pain and dual flank pain caused by stressed kidneys. The only side effects that I have experienced from the marijuana oil vaporizer have been a slight increase in appetite. That's really it! In addition to the very obvious physical benefits, I have experienced incredible relief from my general anxiety and depression. It isn't like magic or anything, just that nasty hard edge that anxiety tends to put on everything I experience is softened enough that I can get through my day and all the thoughts in my head with much more clarity. This is very diffe...

The experiment of using cannabis to treat my extreme menstrual discomfort was an astounding success. I did not use one single narcotic pain pill nor did I feel the urge to reach for alcohol to soothe and dull my sharp cramps. I was blown away. Additionally, the pain in my left knee which is ever present was also calmed quite a bit, reducing to a distant ache rather than the white hot needle pain that I have grown so used to. The biggest benefit, however, was the huge reduction in my anxiety. Over the course of a few days, I finished both of the joints I had purchased. While the benefits were fairly incredible, the economy of this type of medicine was not so incredible. I cannot afford to spend $42 every three days. I was feeling disheartened about the cost, but my husband advised that we go back to the dispensary and talk to the experts about it and see what they advise. So back we went to the dispensary. The same staff greeted us warmly and we were shown into the sales room. I spoke...

Warning! This post contains graphic descriptions of menstrual distress and the discussion of drugs which are now legal to consume n the state of Nevada. Yesterday I had a surprise day off from work in the middle of the week. My homeschooling student wasn't feeling well and so his parents cancelled school. This doesn't happen often, but when it does I like to make the most out of the day and try to be as productive as possible. I have been intending to use some old rope I had laying around to make my first attempt at a rope rug for my shop and so at 7:30am, I busted out the rope, my hot glue gun, and the Netflix and got to some early morning crafting. It was really wonderful to sit, enjoy my iced coffee that I would usually be trying to drink as fast as possible on the freeway on my way to work and to just do some mindless craft work. That kind of crafting is on the short list of things that actually relax me (sex, laughing, crafting, eating is pretty much the whole list). So ...
