Essence Products of the Month – April 2018

April’s a special time of the year. Spring is in full swing. People are tossing out old junk to make room for new, bigger, and better things.

And of course, we can’t forget 4/20! That’s coming up in just a few weeks!

So what cannabis products should you be trying out this month?

(Okay, fine. We’ll tell you.)

Here are our Products of the Month for April!

Black Afghan (Desert Grown Farms)

This first one comes from Desert Grown Farms, our featured cultivator. They’re facility is located in the heart of Las Vegas, and Black Afghan is one of their specialties.

Here are some quick stats:

THC: 19%
Terpenes
Myrcene: 19 mg
Pinene: 6.7 mg

The 19% THC level is standard for a quality strain like Black Afghan, but the myrcene count is what really makes this a powerful indica.

The strain has an earthy, piney, and peppery taste to it, though some users may also catch hints of berry. If you’re looking for pain relief, stress relief, or any kind of relief for that matter, Black Afghan won’t disappoint you.

The presence of pinene might give you a nice little head buzz, but even so, but we suggest not planning anything for the rest of the evening with this one!

RATING: 4.5 / 5 stars (Leafly)

Casino Kush Vape Cartridge (CBX)

THC: Between 60% – 70%
Terpenes: Varies from batch to batch

Casino Kush, the love child of Whitewalker OG and Blue Flame, is an indica-dominant hybrid. It comes from Cannabiotix, a company that prides itself on only using natural and organic farming techniques, free of plant growth regulators.

Whether you’re a Vegas local or a tourist, it only seems proper to try your luck with a strain that bears the name “Casino Kush.”

But don’t get too carried away and attempt any actual high-stakes betting while you’re under the influence of the Kush! Its pain-relieving, sedative powers are best experienced away from the casino floor and in the comfort of your private residence.

Of course, if you fall asleep and find yourself in a dream casino, you should definitely go for it.

RATING: 5 / 5 stars (Weedmaps)

Highly Edible Gummy Rings (CannaPunch)

Decent quality gummy edibles are hard to come by, especially ones that aren’t made with artificial ingredients.

And then there’s Highly Edible Gummy Rings…

They’re vegan. They’re gluten and dairy free. No artificial colors, flavors, or corn syrup.

Each gummy is HUGE (we’ve never used the word “meaty” to describe a gummy before, but in this case, the shoe definitely fits). They’re made with organic cane sugar and fruit juices, and they’re pretty dang delicious.

Each package contains 100 mg of THC and a total of 10 gummies (that’s 10 mg per gummy). We also carry a CBD-dominant version that contains 20 mg of CBD and 2 mg of THC per gummy.

So whether you want that pure THC love or need to medicate with some CBD, Highly Edible Gummy Rings has got you covered!
