I’d like to introduce the MyPharmJar Miron Glass Jar, the ultimate UV protecting, aroma enhancing jar perfect for storing, curing & protecting your precious herbs from harmful UVs. The MyPharmJar is not only for us green thumbs, it’s great to keep your coffee, superfoods, dried food, protein powders and more preserved.
MyPharmJar are located in Portland, Oregon and they’ve been making these jars since 2014. The Miron violet glass originates as far as the Ancient Egyptians. Made in Switzerland. You can view the whole range here, www.mypharmjar.com
I just want say a big thank you to Scott, founder of MyPharmJar, who reached out prior to releasing Version 2.0 and introduced me to the MyPharmJar collection. I received the following:
This is the first I have heard of Miron and the benefits it can bring to your herbs. I’m currently curing some Strawberry Banana, I didn’t grow this although it’s cured so nicely since I’ve put it into the 100ml jar I received which is by far my favorite as it’s perfect for travel or if you don’t have much space in your room.
As you can see the jar is dark and barely let’s in light if any at all, when held up to the sun the jars walls shine purple [do not look into sun] and the the jar itself is what I find, lower than room temperature – unfortunately the smaller one I received does not have a sensor lid, that would be cool if it did – maybe 3.0 MyPharmJar? I’ll talk more future concepts after the review!
In the 1 Liter Jar, I have some Purple Haze which is not from anywhere particular, just the local dude. I’ve had this in the jar curing for the past week and I have certainly have seen and noticed a difference, especially in the visual aesthetics and the flavor from my herbs.
Add a Boveda 2-Way Humidity Pack into your jar and you’re on the road to preserving herbs, if you’re in Australia or other warmer parts of the world the sun can damage our herbs and papers, I look forward to this year being the first year where that all isn’t ruined by our beautiful sun.
Growers..
For the ones who are currently harvesting and curing their buds for Croptober! look no further, MyPharmJar offer the 1L Jar with a sensor lid or in a pack of 8x here to accommodate for the heavy weights.
Future Ideas.
It would be awesome to see the MyPharmJar collection feature jars with LED lights, could be a soft purple, once you open the lid the tiny LEDs activate allowing you to see your herbs or simply a button.

Alien Labs x Friendly Farms Sauce Cart Review
In such a competitive and growing industry there really isn’t that many Cannabis Brands making Live Resin and Sauce Cartridges available in the Cannabis Market at this point in time. The cartridge I’ll be reviewing is their Alien Labs x Friendly Farms GMO X Dosido Sauce Cartridge and yes you thought right! This collaboration is delicious as it sounds?.
At first I experienced the sweet minty aroma from Do-Si-Dos and followed with a hint of coffee and pine from the GMO, your taste buds will be thanking you within the first couple of puffs and shortly after your mind, body and soul will be giving their thanks. This collaboration hits you fast and hard with a cerebral rush of euphoric energy that lasts for only a few moments before fading into a happy stoney introspection.
It’s the cleanest I have vaped in a long time, be sure to follow the instructions on the back and vape @ the recommended 2.7-4 Volts, there’s no doubt I tried at the hottest heat setting which allowed me to produce thick clouds [ Size of Clouds depends on the heat setting ] with the beautiful aroma described above, heads up you’re gonna cough. The effects of these two strains are felt almost immediately, live resin carts offer a more premium cannabis experience than any distillate on the market. These cartridges offer only 100% Full Spectrum Cannabis Oil, no PG or PEG and no other additives so you know what you vaping. Don’t be fooled by distillate.

California authorities have tripled the number of raids on unlicensed cannabis shops in the last year and seized $30 million in pot products, but legal industry leaders say enforcement is still inadequate to break the dominance of the black market in the state.
In 2018, the first year of licensing, the state Bureau of Cannabis Control worked with local law enforcement to serve six search warrants on unlicensed pot shops and seized some 1,594 pounds of cannabis worth $13.5 million.
During the first six months of this year, the bureau served 19 search warrants on unlicensed sellers, confiscating more than 2,500 pounds of illegal marijuana products with a retail value of $16.5 million, according to data released last week. The state has also seized $219,874 in cash from illegal pot shops.
And to further strengthen enforcement, Gov. Gavin Newsom this month authorized fines of up to $30,000 per day against unlicensed marijuana growers, distributors and sellers.
“We recognize the importance of enforcement for a strong regulated cannabis industry and continue to partner with local jurisdictions to address issues related to unlicensed cannabis businesses,” said Lori Ajax, chief of the state bureau.
But industry officials say there are still thousands of illegal cannabis growers and sellers in California, a black market some predicted would be curbed when California voters approved Proposition 64 in 2016, allowing state-licensed firms to grow and sell marijuana for recreational purposes.
Despite the uptick in enforcement efforts, the number of actions so far “is severely inadequate,” according to the California Cannabis Industry Assn.
There are thousands of unlicensed retailers operating so there should have been at least hundreds of enforcement actions so far, said Lindsay Robinson, executive director of the association, who noted many illegal pot shops are easy to find because they advertise.
“California has always struggled with enforcement of the illicit industry,” Robinson said.
The state had a year to create a new bureau to draft regulations and procedures to license the new cannabis market and state officials have acknowledged problems, including the refusal of most cities to allow cannabis sales, that have led to many fewer licenses than expected. High state and local taxes that add up to 45% to the cost of licensed cannabis have also stymied the legal market.
Still, Ajax said, the bureau has done “tremendous ” work “in accomplishing our mandate to develop a comprehensive regulatory system under challenging conditions.”
A new audit by the state Department of Finance also concluded that the bureau’s staffing and facilities are “not sustainable to provide effective and comprehensive oversight of cannabis activities throughout California.”
Auditors said a recent check found the bureau’s Enforcement Unit had filled only 15 of its 68 authorized positions. The bureau says it has filled 26 positions so far — still less than half those authorized.
“With the existing number of Enforcement Unit staff and only one field office, the Bureau’s ability to process complaints, perform inspections and investigations, and review and inspect testing laboratories is severely impacted,” the audit said.
Bureau officials note their first year was focused primarily on creating, staffing and implementing a complex licensing system. But there are also other issues that are an impediment.
The bureau does not employ any sworn peace officers, so to enforce the law it relies on help from local law enforcement.
Last month, the Costa Mesa Police Department served search warrants for the bureau on two unlicensed pot shops, and authorities seized $2.7 million worth of cannabis products, the biggest single-day haul ever by the bureau.
Separate enforcement efforts targeting illegal cannabis grows have been mounted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which last month joined the Trinity County Sheriff’s Office in serving 15 warrants. The operations seized 12,548 illegal marijuana plants, 801 pounds of processed marijuana, 15 firearms and $435,875 in cash, according to the agency.
Robinson said her group would like to see more effort involving retail shops. The trade group was disappointed that the new state budget signed by Newsom last month does not include the industry’s proposal to add $10 million for enforcement targeting unlicensed retailers and to give the bureau sworn peace officers to enforce the law.
Newsom’s office did not respond to requests for comment on the budget, staffing and enforcement issues.
Opponents of Proposition 64, including Scott Chipman of the group Americans Against Legalizing Marijuana, say lax enforcement targeting illegal pot shops is breaking a promise of the initiative’s backers that the new law would allow the state to rein in the illicit market.
Critics point to research by the firm New Frontier Data, which estimated California’s black market was worth $3.7 billion last year — more than four times the size of the legal market.
“A key point of Proposition 64 was to reduce or nearly eliminate the black market,” Chipman said. “The opposite has occurred. We are the marijuana drug cartel for the U.S.”
Ajax says the new law signed by Newsom increasing fines for illegal operators “expanded [the agency’s] enforcement tools” and will help make the bureau’s crackdown more effective.
The tougher enforcement is being paired with a new public education campaign by the bureau dubbed “Get #weedwise” that encourages consumers to purchase cannabis from licensed firms and warns unlicensed businesses that they face consequences if they are not licensed.
Ads on YouTube, cannabis websites and those soon to be on billboards warn consumers about such pitfalls as chemicals and mold that can be found in illegal, untested cannabis.
To help consumers, the bureau has set up a website, CApotcheck.com, where consumers can verify the legal status of a cannabis business.
The campaign is also warning illegal businesses that they could face confiscation of cash and cannabis if they continue to engage in unlicensed activity, Ajax said.
“We believe that this campaign will directly impact consumer safety by clarifying that only cannabis purchased from licensed retailers has met the state’s safety standards, while sending a clear message to unlicensed businesses that they need to get licensed or shut down,” Ajax said.
The ingredients for our recipes are carefully selected in collaboration with experienced cooks in order to maximize the benefits of CBD for your body. What you need to know regardless of the recipe and ingredients is that you have to Absolutely heat your trim before adding it to your dishes if you want to sprinkle a dish already ready. There is no need to do this since you will mix your CBD with the dough that will go into the oven.
Why heat? Simply because before being heated, the CBD is not activated and is actually a molecule called CBDa. We’ll talk about it in more detail in a later article.
Our goal is also to make you discover simple recipes that you probably already know by simply adding the flavor of cannabis to make you discover a new world of culinary possibilities. Ready for an unusual dessert? Here we go.

Art of the chef
It is clearly better to taste this hot dish with a scoop of lemon sorbet on top to add a bit of freshness and lightness. Since we leave here on a dessert, the chef strongly advises you the trim of candy Kush. These sweet flavors undoubtedly add a little something more than any other Avengarde trim.
In today’s fast moving society, we as individuals are met with everyday challenges and situations that can put a ton of stress on ourselves; and as many of you know, stress is one of the worse things on our body – leading to anxiety, high blood pressure, illnesses, deterioration of the mind and body, and so much more. With that being said, it is extremely important to maintain stress levels so that we can live long, happy, healthy lives. Along with activities such as meditation, yoga, controlled breathing exercises, and fitness; CBD helps relieve stress, and more importantly, helps promote a healthy stress response.
How CBD Promotes a Healthy Stress Response
According to Leafly, “Cannabinoid receptors (CB1, CB2, TRPV1, GP55 and others) and the biochemical machinery necessary to synthesize and generate cannabinoids are present within areas of the brain known to control emotional behavior, mood, sleep, stress, irritability, fear and even the sensation of ‘craving.’ These structures include the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, and periaqueductal gray (PAG) of the midbrain. Several lines of evidence in mice and other animals have clearly demonstrated that activation of cannabinoid receptors within the brain lowers heart rate and blood pressure responses to stress and reduces panic and anxiety behavior.” In simpler terms, research shows that CBD usage can help combat the well-known “fight or flight” phenomenon to physical and mental stress. Leafly further notes that Other studies using similar models in animals have shown that CBD usage can decrease fear-avoidant and conditioned responses to pain or punishment.
This opens the door for a ton of practical and helpful usages for CBD. In another study, CBD was even proven to reduce the stress and anxiety caused from public speaking, while negating anxiety caused from other substances such as the usage of THC.
The Future of CBD
In the years to come, the world will only continue to move faster and faster. Just because we aren’t stressed out about being chased by a lion like our ancestors were, we do face daily challenges that cause an immense amount of stress such as losing a job, driving in traffic, managing our money, and other modern day problems. It is this stress that will wear down our bodies, and it is our duty to take care of ourselves. As the research continues to stack up confirming CBD as a natural agent for relieving so many benefits, many will turn to CBD instead of other conventional methods like medications, alcohol, and drug usage.

As time passes by, it becomes more and more evident that cannabidiol possesses more and more benefits than one could imagine. Studies continue to discover more and more properties of this important cannabinoid which can really add to anyone’s life. Keep reading to learn a bit more about this irreplaceable substance, and feel free to check out our range of CBD products.
Mad Cow Disease Prevention
That’s right- cannabidiol actually works to prevent mad cow disease. Mad cow disease is really neurodegenerative in nature, meaning that it disrupts and impairs neuron function. What CBD does to prevent and slow this disease is inhibit those proteins (or prions) which cause the degeneration.
Easing of Dyskinesia
What actually is dyskinesia? Well, much like with chorea, those afflicted are known to suffer uncontrollable movements that can really disrupt daily life. Cannabidiol lessens the enzymes contributing to this, allowing for users to go on with the activities many of us take for granted on a daily basis.
Substance Abuse Recovery
Moving forward when recovering from a period of substance abuse can truly be challenging. Even with the support of family and friends, the shift from using various substances on a normal basis to learning to live without them is rough. In CBD, however we can find a tool that makes an unbelievable difference. From morphine to heroin, people who want to make a change can be helped with cannabidiol.
Treats Acne
CBD is known to decrease the synthesis of lipids, or fats, and reduce inflammation. When these two effects are synthesized through use of CBD, we find a perfect treatment for conditions which lead to acne formation.
Schizophrenia Treatment
CBD is actually proven to supersede performance of several medications for schizophrenia in that it vastly reduces symptoms of psychosis for the majority of patients. This specific realm of research is still developing, but what has already been done is quite promising for the future of mental health.
Think that cannabidiol can help you in any way? There are hundreds of potential aids from this healing medicine that go beyond just these. Comment your experience with CBD below!
