    Drone Drops Bags Of Weed In Israel

    0
    As the title says, there was a group which goes by the name, Green Drone, who are located out in Israel flying a drone and spreading the green love around the capital, Tel Aviv.

    Marijuana fell from the sky in Israel on Thursday, with a drone dropping hundreds of small bags of cannabis in the streets of Tel Aviv.

    The stunt attracted dozens of people, including some who thought it would be a good idea to collect the free bags of weed from the middle of a fairly busy road, drivers of course honked at them. The group known for the drone delivery goes by the name “Green Drone”.

    Prior to the drop off, the group posted on the encrypted app Telegram: “It’s time my dear brothers. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the green drone, handing out free cannabis from the sky. Enjoy my beloved brothers, this is your pilot brother, making sure we all get some free love.”

    See For Yourself.

    Twitter

    This isn’t a one-off miracle either. Green Drone plans to continue the “rain of cannabis” project, delivering one kg of cannabis split into to 2 gram baggies for all to enjoy.

    But the first drop-off didn’t go without a snag. According to The Jerusalem Post, two people suspected of operating the drone were arrested.

    While Israel is an active player in the marijuana research scene, the plant remains illegal for recreational purposes, except for under limited medical circumstances. A bill to decriminalize cannabis and another to legalize it for adult use were introduced earlier this year, and the legislature voted in favor of advancing both for a preliminary reading.

    US To Vote On Cannabis Legalization In September

    0
    The Weed Blog

    UPDATE: Democrats in the House of Representatives postponed a planned vote next week on marijuana legalization following a backlash from moderate Democrats.

    In a historic move, the House of Representatives is set to vote this month on the MORE Act. The bill would deschedule cannabis and therefore decriminalize it at the federal level.

    The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on marijuana legalization sometime in September, according to Congress Majority Whip, James Clayborne. He announced that the House is expected to take up the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement, or MORE, Act in this month’s work period.

    If the MORE Act is approved, marijuana will be taken off the forbidden substances list in the Controlled Substances Act. Something that has never been debated in the history of the U.S. Congress. If it goes into effect, cannabis will be federally descheduled, anyone with a nonviolent cannabis related convictions or criminal records will be abolished for those who are not serving their sentences, and a federal tax of 5% will be imposed on all legal marijuana sales. 

    Those who are currently serving sentences for federal cannabis arrests or convictions would have the opportunity to have their sentences reviewed and, possibly, have their records expunged and sentences vacated.

    Additionally, the MORE Act plans to reinvest the money collected through taxes into communities that have been harmed the most by the “war on drugs”. This way, through the state-funded programs, people who have been negatively impacted by the drug war will be able to reinvest in their futures and improve their living conditions.

    The MORE Act aims to bring social justice to communities like the Black and Latin communities, which have suffered from years of racism, mass incarceration, and police brutality. According to the Drug Policy Alliance, millions have been imprisoned for marijuana-related offenses since 1970, a great majority of them being people of color.

    Rep. Earl Blumenauer, from Oregon, is a chief advocate for reform in Congress. In an interview with Marijuana Moment, he said the following:

    “We finally have a chance to end the failed policy of prohibition that has resulted in a long and shameful period of selective enforcement against people of color, especially Black men. As people across the country protest racial injustices, there’s even greater urgency for Congress to seize this historic opportunity and finally align our cannabis laws with what the majority of Americans support, while ensuring restorative justice.”

    – Rep. Earl Blumenauer | Oregon

    Paul Armentano, Deputy Director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), said that “the passage of the MORE Act is essential in order to truly right the wrongs of federal marijuana criminalization, and to once and for all allow the majority of states that have legalized cannabis for either medical or adult-use to embrace these policies free from the threat of undue federal prosecution or interference.”

    0

    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.

    Glass-Bong

    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

    Microdosing Cannabis: How It Affects You

    0

    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

    0

    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.

    1. Sour Diesel

    A CBD-dominant flower, so you won’t get much of a ‘high.’ If you’re trying to focus, this strain may be just what you’re looking for.

    Don’t worry, it’s definitely cannabis. Said to have been named by Snoop Dogg himself, Green Crack is a well known strain. It may come on a little strong, so take baby steps if you aren’t a regular cannabis consumer. The strain is euphoric and energetic, with a classic Sativa-like citrus scent. And said to be a great daytime strain that may help some of you with fatigue, depression and stress. Also known as Strain Cush or Green Cush with a C!

    Durban poison, originating from the South African city, Durban. Expect a fruity, crisp-smelling strain known for it’s sharp, meditative highs to help you stay productive through your busy day, exercising and for when you’re getting creative thanks to the sativa high.

    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

    0

    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?

    The Perfect Herb Grinder | Gemineye Grinder Review

    0

    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.

    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.
