Impaired Driving: Don't toke and drive

Impaired driving is the leading cause of criminal injury and death in Canada.  While Cannabis has been legalized in Canada, driving under its influence is never permitted. This is because just like any drug or alcohol, Cannabis affects your reaction time, and judgement making it much more likely for a driver under the influence to crash or cause injury.

In response to legalization of Cannabis, BC introduced new impairment laws that are the strictest and most punishing in the entire country. We summarized the penalties in the graphic below:



Although penalties may differ from province to province, driving under the influence is illegal and dangerous everywhere. If you are smoking cannabis, please plan ahead and organize a way home: Stay safe and out of trouble. Have any questions? Hit us up, because we love weed, do you?

Weed Grinders: Why you need one

Image
What is a weed grinder? As the name might indicate, its small device that shreds or chops up cannabis efficiently into consistent smooth pieces. There are 2 main types of grinders that perform the same task: manual and electric. Whether hand or motor powered, weed grinders make life easier for the user. Weed grinders save sweaty, clumsy and fumbling hands from the smell of flower, and do a far better and faster job than anyone could without one. Weed grinders will, also, make your tokes more potent and taste better. The fine consistency a good grinder produces increases overall surface area of the weed that is in contact on ignition producing more flavor and potency. By producing more potent hits and by preventing lost flower and holding the grounds, a great grinder should also save money in the long run.  Beyond all these benefits, one more exists that is by far the most coveted of all cannabis lovers: kief. The best grinders will shred cannabis into a fine consistency,

Kief: What is it, why you want it, how to get it...

Kief, keef or keif is formed from dried resin producing glands (called trichomes) on the leaves of cannabis plants. It looks like a fine brown powder when collected. Kief is also called crystal or pollen at times because of its appearance. Kief is one of the most sought after cannabis products because it contains a high concentration of THC, the drug that causes euphoric feelings or the notorious marijuana high. This is where it derives its name; the word `kif` is taken from the Arabic word `kayf`meaning well-being or pleasure. Kief is collected with a few methods.  If you have grown and dried cannabis, then it can be collected by rubbing leaves over stainless steel mesh screens or by shaking the branches and holding something under the plant. Larger operations have a special machines designed for processing larger amounts of leaves where they tumble against a rotating silk drum and glands fall off to be collected.The most common way to collect small amount of kief is using a wee

One Hitter Pipes: Hit me baby one more time.

Image
A One Hitter aka a bat or chillum, is a small pipe and as the name suggests it only holds a small amount of cannabis; enough for one hit.   One Hitters are the most discrete of all accessories, and can be packed and carried easily. One Hitters are simple in construction, like pipes , and are made of various materials, mainly ceramic, metal or glass.   Chillums are shaped as a straight tube much like a cigarette or small cigar. On one end of the chillum is the bowl, and on the opposing end is the mouthpiece.   Some One Hitters are designed to mimic a cigarette, while others have the ornate designs of blown glass like full pipes.                          One Hitters are small and compact in size, making them incredibly discrete. Perfect for a low key hit, the bat delivers a quick toke without a continuous stream of smoke like that produced from a joint.   Furthermore, unlike the traditional pipe , the bowl of a bat is not obvious in shape, and so lighting it mimics the same motion a
