Navigating a Dispensary While Autistic: A Thorough How-To Guide from an Autistic Stoner
Okay, so you’re ready to start exploring cannabis, but you’ve never been inside a dispensary before. New social situations can be extremely nerve-wracking for autistic people, and it definitely took me a long time to get comfortable with speaking to budtenders and selecting products. So how can you mentally prepare to get your goods? Luckily,…

Nic the Bruiser
I selected this strain purely because it was being sold in the Sativa category at the dispensary I went to (Flower in Missoula, MT – I recommend it!). However, when I got it home and started trying to learn more I ran into a problem – conflicting information. This is unfortunately pretty common when looking…

March Roundup
It is wild to realize that my second month of this blog is over, and I’ve got another five strains to assess. That’s 10 different strains in two months – crazy!

Peyote Critical
Can I learn to like Indica? Whenever I go to a dispensary, I’m sure to let the budtender know that I cannot stand couchlock. The budtender assured me that Peyote Critical was “kinda weird” and “not like other Indicas”. He said it gives a nice body high without toasting your brain. Leafly, however, tells another…

Apple Fritter
I decided it was time to branch out and try more relaxing “evening” strains, so I decided to start with a hybrid that my husband likes. He tends to prefer indica or hybrid, so I can always pawn it off on him if I don’t like it. So what’s the harm? Let’s break it down:…

Lemon Lava
I picked this strain because of the word “lemon” in it’s name, because I’ve learned enough to assume this strain would contain some uplifting limonene. Was I right? Uhhh . . . no, but let’s break it down: Consumption Method: Dry Herb Vape (Arizer Solo 2)Type: SativaGenetics: Lemon Heads x Lava CakeTerpenes: Myrcene, Pulegone, Bisabolol, CaryophylleneScent: Herbal and Citrussy,…
