The Higher Ground Legal Stash Box, Micro-Dose Edition! A Highly Curated Cannabis Collection
Cannabis is getting customized, and consumers are dialing in their doses. A popular new trend is “micro-dosing” – taking a small amount of a cannabis product so as to get a nice buzz, without being TOO high. Individuals can then add incrementally as they fine-tune their comfort level. Micro-dosing is also often used for therapeutic purposes – to relive pain or anxiety (with higher doses of THC), or to improve mood or heighten creativity. Micro-dosing is great for folks getting back into the ganja game, allowing consumers to go slow and increase dosages in small increments.
Curated from legal markets across the country, this month’s Higher Ground Legal Stash Box is highlighting the best in micro-dosing – including low-dose edibles, tinctures, pastilles and controlled-dose vaporizers. Hand selected by Michael Stusser, host of Higher Ground TV, the items in each anthology represent the gold standard of legal offerings for cannabis connoisseurs!
The notable selections in this month’s Higher Ground Legal Stash Box include:
DaVinci MIQRO Vaporizer. Far too many high-end vaporizers are bulky and not designed for those on-the-go (or in formal wear). Luckily, the folks at DaVinci have crafted an ultra-portable vape designed to fit the out-and-about lifestyle. The MIQRO is 33% smaller than its predecessor (also a well-built beauty), and designed for the solo vape connoisseur, convection-cooking your cannabis to the perfect temp. Excellent for hitting at a concert, outdoor session, or out for the night, eventually you’ll wind up taking the MIQRO pretty much everywhere.
Wyld Canna. Based in Oregon, WYLD uses real-fruit ingredients to make some of the best tasting edibles in legal cannabis. Their Raspberry gummies are made with real fruit and are enhanced with sativa terpenes that assist in creating euphoric and energizing experiences. Ideal for keeping you focused on the task at hand, refining your creative endeavors, or getting you out on your next inventive expedition! WYLD celebrates our highest ambitions and adventurous lifestyles, allowing consumers to enjoy what brings us together.
Sativa Valley. Sativa Valley Blueberry CBD tincture is formulated to help reduce anxiety, inflammation, and aid in insomnia relief. Paired with a variety of fruit extract flavors, their tinctures are grown on an organic farm in the Olympic Mountains of Washington. The sublingual tincture is placed under the tongue to produce different effects depending on the serving size: calming and anxiety relief effects at low milligram servings sizes, while anti-inflammatory and muscle pain relief is achieved with medium to higher milligram serving sizes. Best of all, Sativa Valley participates in “Wildcrafting” – an age-old practice of collecting plant materials in their natural habitat for food, medicine, and craft.
Kiva Terra Bites: KIVA’s Terra Bites are almost too delicious – as you don’t want to be popping handfuls of chocolate-covered THC coffee beans all day long. In moderation, however, Terra Bites are a great microdosing option. Hand-crafted and using all natural ingredients, these featured Terra Bites use milk chocolate, cocoa powder and US-grown blueberries. YumBuzz!
ZOOTS. ZootRocks are a damn good way to begin experimenting with micro-dosing. Each ZootRock contains just 5mg of THC, so it’s easy to control the experience. The featured Lemongrass nuggets have a tart sweetness blended with a Cypress THC Extract. They’re handmade from naturally sourced ingredients, and sugar and gluten-free, providing a good introduction (or re-introduction) to cannabis.
Mari’s Mints: Mari’s cannabis-infused mints come it a variety of flavors and formulas (Move, Retire, Replenish) tailored to fit your day. Featuring sativa (for an energy boost and creative juice), indica (for Netflixxing and Chill) or CBD for pain relief, the mints are crafted with precision to deliver consistent doses. An extra bonus? The groovy tins can be used as stash box for storing your weed!
Mr. Moxey’s Mints. Moxey’s micro dosed mints are crafted in small batches and formulated with herbal synergists tailored to elevate the experience. Mints are all-natural, and infused with cannabis free of pesticides. Available in a variety of flavors and formulas, this month’s box features CBD Ginger, which include Indian Gooseberry to support rejuvenation and Echinacea to boost immunity.
The Dose Pen. Dosist (previously hmbldt) gets as much hype as Tesla (and is barely less expensive). Their innovative delivery devices (aka pens) are scientifically designed and dialed in for consumers to get controlled and accurate doses. Best of all, the pen vibrates when you’ve gotten a pre-measured dose. Formulas include Arouse, Calm, Bliss, Sleep, and our fav, Passion.
The Goodship Company Tart Cherry Pastilles. Tart and fruity, Goodship confections are made from all-natural, locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients. Each “sweet tart” pastille is micro dosed at 2.5mg per piece, giving a consistent, uplifting and delicious experience each go-round. Goodship packaging is among the best in the business, and these tarts come in a beautiful embossed tin – which you can put joints and buds in when the pastilles are gone.
Beboe Pastiles. Beboe is a luxury cannabis brand, and has been called the Hermes of Marijuana. Beboe pastilles are carefully crafted with the finest organic ingredients and natural flavors to give a subtle, measured and mellow high. The elegant packaging fits into any sophisticated setting – but be sure to keep ‘em out of the reach of kids.
Stay tuned to MJHeadline News where we will continue to curate the best in legal cannabis, and highlight the most innovative and elegant brands in upcoming Higher Ground Legal Stash Boxes.
Higher Ground is the World’s first talk show highlighting cannabis culture. Think of it as “The Daily Show” meets “Good Morning America”…but with a giant bong on the desk. For more on Higher Ground and host Michael Stusser, visit www.highergroundtv.com or www.michaelstusser.com
Ah Warner: Back To Cannabis Basics
WASHINGTON: It’s a chilly fall morning in Seattle, and so in need of warm sustenance I go ahead and order a large coffee and a bear claw and settled down in a corner table at Uptown Espresso to await the arrival of Ah Warner.
Founder and CEO of Cannabis Basics, Ah is at the center of the Women of Weed movement here in Seattle, and a part of the vibrant topicals scene in the Puget Sound that includes Gig Harbor-based Kush Creams, Sequim’s Sativa Valley, and Seattle’s Vita Verde.
Warner is no stranger to the sativa scene. She has been involved in one way or another with the Hemp and Cannabis scene since the nineties. Way ahead of her time, it seems the world —and the marketplace – are now ready for a line of fertile hempseed and premium cannabis-infused botanical topical treatments (“please don’t call them lotions”).
Ah unpacks her bag and shows me the Cannabis Basics line , a wide selection of healing products that includes: Sole’s Desire Repair Cream, Satin Skin, XXXBody Rescue Balm, Naked Lip Butter, The Remedy Pain Stick, and introducing Ink 20/20 – a relief stick for recent tattoo recipients.
Winner of the Hemp Times 1999 Bioneer award for “Outstanding Achievement in Body Care,” Ah also is a Washington sales representative for Dixie Botanicals and Wicked Wick, and a member of the NORML Women’s Alliance.
And if that weren’t enough, Ah co-founded Women of Weed with her business partner, Shawn DeNae Eddy, six months ago. Their mission statement: “To Build a Safe Community for Like Minded Women to Support and Nurture Our Individual Goals.”
The WOW meeting I attended last week was packed wall-to-wall with professional business women from every cannabis category —packaging, retail, products, legal, testing, media, medibles, real estate, networking and sharing tales from the front lines. The Women of Weed are force to be reckoned.
You can catch Ah Warner next month, speaking at the 2nd Annual Marijuana Business Conference and Expo on the topic of Ancillary products in the burgeoning 502 marketplace.
