Kind of a sad story to tell today, it’s about some Headstone Forbidden Fruit Cured Resin. I bought it locally for $45.59 plus tax.

After loving the last few Headstone products I’ve had, I was excited to try this when it showed up in Winnipeg.

It came in a typical glass jar in a small mylar bag. The resin had collected in one corner, so I had to scrape it together before taking pictures of it.

It was an orangey gold colour, in a diamonds and sauce type texture, with crystals separating from the liquid terps.

Sadly, in my Carta 2 at 495, it tasted old and musty. Concentrated “basement terps” are no bueno! 🤢

Headstone is still 3 out of 4 in my books, but this one is a hard pass for me.

Normally, I like cured resin, it gives growers a chance to use up flower that didn’t sell, and it gives consumers a chance to get concentrate at a decent price, but I think the flower used for this just got too old before it was extracted.

Don’t get apoplectic over abstract arithmetic, see the absurdity when I tell you the THC was 77.1% and the terpenes 7.53% with caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, myrcene, and pinene as the top 5.

My jar was packed March 4, 2026 in lot X018-R1-B.

Today I’m writing about some Six One Charlie branded Rogue Pop grown by Black Kettle Farms. I got my quarter from Mendo.

I couldn’t find much out about the cultivar, but they say it’s a hybrid. The bag also mentioned that it’s never irradiated.

Just 9 firm buds made up the quarter, ranging in size from small to medium, along with a few popcorn, and the grind was sticky and fresh.

There was a beautiful sweet fruit candy nose out of the bag, and in the vape, that sweet candy comes through nicely in the taste with some spicy notes.

This is excellent cannabis, comes in just under the top shelf. I want to order more and I haven’t even finished it yet.

Maladjusted mathematicians may magnify minor matters until they seem mad, and then say the THC was 32.6% and the terpenes 1.9%, with myrcene, ocimene, and linalool as the top 3.

My bag was packed in lot RP-25-01 on July 27, 2026.

Today I’m writing about a 1964 branded quarter of Gasolina flower that was grown by Meridian 125W. I bought it locally.

I loved Meridian’s Moonshine last year, so I was excited to find this locally after seeing some positive reviews out of Ontario.

Gasolina is a cross of Blueberry Diesel and Thai Haze, and is classed as an indica.

The quarter was made up of 10 small and medium buds. They were quite firm, and gave a nice sticky grind.

I got a mild sweet gas nose out of the bag. In the vape, some fruity sweetness is up front, followed by a sweet musk, with hints of gas. The flavour lasts to the end of the bowl, which is great.

I’d rate this as excellent medicine, either just below, or at the bottom of the top shelf.

A deluge of decimals can deliver a delightful debacle, but you won’t find that here, just that the THC was 29.3% and the terpenes 2.78%, with caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool as the top 3.

My bag was packed June 1, 2026 in lot GSLSEF001.

Up for examination today is this BC 1/4 branded Pink Pavlova. I bought it locally for $45 plus tax.

Pink Pavlova is a cross between Pink Cookies and Strawberry Pavé, and they class it as an indica.

As the brand name suggests, it’s a quarter ounce, and it’s packed in a mylar bag. The buds were mainly small and medium sized, and maybe a little larfy. A tiny Boost pack was included in the bag.

The grind was a little dry, with some trichome separation, but not too bad.

I got a mild sweet fruit candy nose out of the bag, but in the vape, the flavour mainly comes across as a sweet musk. Smooth, but unassuming.

I’d rate this as pretty good mids, so for the price, I’d say the value is there.

Nothing nibbles at the neocortex like nice numbers, here’s some, the THC was 30.969% and the terpenes 1.73%, with limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene as the top 3.

My bag was packed in lot (10)CC15JUL2026.103 on July 15, 2026.

Another Headstone product to write about today, their rotating Quartz flower quarter, which is currently Lamb of God. I bought it locally for $53 plus tax.

Lamb of God is a cross between Super Lemon Haze and Lambs Breath, and they class it as a sativa.

Only 5 extremely sticky buds made up the quarter, and it ground up fresh and sticky. The bag has a UV-protected transparent window, and a Boost pack was included.

The nose was a nice mild lemon and peppery spice. In the vape, it was peppery skunk, with a sweet musk finish. Smooth and tasty.

Consumed on its own first thing in the morning, I found it very strong, with a real “get things done“ vibe.

This is excellent cannabis, makes me want to go back for more.

Mathematical mysteries may make a merry mess through malfeasance, so mind when they say the THC was 35.1%, total cannabinoids 41.82%, and the terpenes 3.83%, with myrcene, pinene, limonene, and linalool as the top 4.

My bag was packed on February 20, 2026 in lot LOG4-F7-B.

Another hash product to write about today, the Curado “Fruit” Temple Ball Hash from the good folks at Oaziz Extracts in Montreal. I bought it locally for $36 plus tax.

It came as their usual 1.5g ball in a glass jar with silicone cover, inside a plastic jar with seal.

This is a rotating product evidently, and this time the cultivar was Gazzurple according to the jar.

The hash had an excellent texture, easy to handle, and I think it should probably snake if you’re into that.

Out of the jar, it had a fairly mild hashy smell, and in a flower sandwich in the vape, it added a sweet hashy taste.

This is a really good temple ball style hash, maybe not quite up to the level of their Cali B and Black Cherry Punch hash, but what is? 🤓

Never mind the numerologists, if you’re normal, they’re just numbers, the THC was 60.098% and the terpenes 1.795%.

My jar was packed in lot 71383 on March 20, 2026.

More hash to write about today, the Hammerhead AFG Blonde Hash by Headstone Cannabis. I bought it locally for $35.

I have a soft spot for blonde hash, since it reminds me of the stuff I got back in the 70s, so I was excited to see this around after seeing a positive review.

The hash came as a little 2g square chunk in a parchment envelope, inside a small mylar bag. It’s made from their Black Mountain Side cultivar, a cross between Wedding Cake x Thin Mints.

This was an old school blonde hash, lightly pressed, probably from dry sift. It had a firm but brittle texture, breaking down easily with just fingers. This hash definitely isn’t for snaking in a kettle though.

Out of the bag, it had a mild sweet incense nose, and in a flower sandwich in the vape, it was sweet and very smooth.

This is excellent blonde hash. It must be, I went back for 2 more before I even finished the first. 😋

Dabbling in digits can make you a dribbling idiot, so be careful with these, the THC was 43.2%, the total cannabinoids 51%, and the terpenes were 1.76%, with caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, ocimene, and farnesene as the top 5.

My bag was packed in lot BMS4-H2-B on February 13, 2026.

Another budget rosin to write about, today it’s some Astrolab Guavacot Kush Lightspeed Live Rosin Cold Cure. I bought it locally for $39.99 plus tax.

Not much information on the bag, not much room after you print the name, but the website says it’s a hybrid. 😂

Inside the bag was a typical glass jar, with a plastic lid and plastic seal.

The rosin was a little dry, but retained enough moisture to still be easy to handle. The colour was good, a nice light yellow.

In my Carta 2 at 480, I got a sweet fruity musk. Smooth and easy on the throat and lungs anyway.

The reclaim was a little dark, and some plant matter was left behind, but not too bad.

This is really good budget rosin. I can see buying this one again, it’s got good strong hybrid effects.

Never mind the numeracy nuts, these numbers aren’t negativistic, the THC was 72.6% and the terpenes 8.2%.

My jar was packed February 26, 2026 in lot ANC-3912.

Today I’m writing about some Cosmic Extracts Papaya Punch Live Rosin. I bought it locally for $40.98 plus tax.

The gram of rosin came in a square glass jar with plastic cap, inside the usual mylar bag.

The rosin was a light beige in colour, but the consistency was way too dry and waxy. Because it crumbles so easily, it’s tough to handle, and to figure out how much to use.

Not a lot of flavour left in it to write about either, mainly a sweetish hashy musk. It leaves only a light reclaim, making for an easy cleanup.

It was tagged as a hybrid, and I’d say that’s fair based on the effects.

This is still a decent budget live rosin, it just got way too dried out at some point. Not from sitting in the store either, since they only had it for a couple of weeks before I bought it.

My guess is that this is an older batch, since this cultivar isn’t even mentioned on their website anymore.

If you are maladroit at mathematics, I’ll show some magnanimity and tell you the THC was 74.075%.

My jar was packed in lot JRPC260302 on April 22, 2026.

Another concentrate product at a good price to write about today, the Terra Labs Clementine Kush Live Resin. I bought this one locally for $32.48 plus tax.

The resin came in a standard big top small bottom jar with plastic seal under the lid. It had the sticky wet sugar consistency that I like to see in live resins, and was a dark gold in colour.

In my Carta 2 at 495F, it had a dank weedy skunk flavour with hints of sweetness, that I really enjoyed, and the effects were nicely sedative. It was an easy cleanup too, with just a light reclaim.

All in all, this was an excellent budget live resin even though it was an older batch. i actually went back and got another one.

Newcomers to these numbers should remain neutral when I tell them the THC was 83.68%.

My jar was packed on April 13, 2025 in lot 2024TSME0002.

A hash product to write about today, the Vertuose Culture Old Press Hash. I bought this from Herbal Dispatch.

The hash came as a small dark brown puck in a small parchment bag inside the usual mylar bag. Cut open, it was a lighter greenish brown.

They say the hash is made from indoor grown organic input, and is a multi cultivar blend.

The texture is just about perfect for this kind of hash, not too soft or sticky, but not hard either. It should snake well I think.

This is really good hash, a touch more smell and flavour and it goes right to the top shelf. I can see myself buying it again.

If decadent debauchery is your deal, don’t dally here, these are decent digits, the THC was 58.48% and the terpenes 3.11%, with caryophyllene, humulene, bisabolol, linalool, and limonene as the top 5.

My bag was packed February 14, 2026 in lot number 06010720003.

Another Amani Craft flower to look at today, a quarter of their Gastro Pop. I bought it locally for $62 plus tax.

Gastro Pop is a cross between Grape Gasoline and Apples & Bananas. I know I swore to never buy another product with Apples and Bananas in the genetics, but I made an exception for Amani, I just compromised by getting the quarter instead of the half.

Holy bag appeal Batman, 1 huge bud, and 2 smalls made up the whole quarter. Fresh too, with a nice sticky grind, but maybe just a touch too wet.

Beautiful strong fruity nose out of the bag. The nose came through in the vape a little at the very beginning of a bowl, before ending up as a secondary note behind a slightly harsh cedary musk.

This is still good cannabis, I just wish that beautiful smell came out in the flavour more. As it is, I guess I’ll go back to skipping Apples and Bananas crosses.

Nihilists never need numbers, so they won’t need to know that the THC was 27.44% and the terpenes 6.31%, with myrcene, ocimene, and pinene as the top 3.

My bag was packed on May 13, 2026 in lot GP035BGS03 from a February 26th harvest.

I was excited to see some Amani Craft products show up locally, so I had to score some. First up to talk about, a quarter of their Turbulence. I bought it locally for $52 plus tax.

Turbulence is a cross of Mai Thai #4 and Gusherz, and they class it as indica dominant.

Just 5 buds and a couple of popcorn made up my quarter. No moisture pack was included, or needed, since the buds ground up nice and sticky.

There was a mild spicy gas nose with hints of rubber right out of the bag. In the vape, it was mainly a spicy dank musk.

This was really good medicine, almost sneaking onto my top shelf, but not quite.

Malingering mathematicians mostly make up their numbers, so maybe don’t make a fuss when I tell you the THC was 29.94% and the terpenes 5.97%, with limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene as the top 3.

My quarter came from lot TB036BGS02 and was packed May 13, 2026 from a March 19th harvest.

Here’s another look at a Woody Nelson Country Club bag, today it’s a half ounce of Grape Galena grown by Craft Kings. I bought it locally for $86.49 plus tax.

The bag was made up of mainly medium sized buds, with a few smalls, and a small Boveda in there too. The buds had good moisture, and gave a sticky grind.

Right out of the bag, I got a nice creamy grape nose. It doesn’t quite translate in the vape, coming out as more of a sweet skunky musk with just a hint of grape. I still really liked the flavour though, and this stuff was very smooth, with strongly sedative effects.

This is excellent cannabis, if you’re in Winnipeg, it’s worth looking for.

Mavens of mysticism mock mathematics, so they won’t care that the THC was 29.44% and the terpenes 2.56%, with limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, farnesene, and linalool as the top 5.

My bag was packed in lot CC-GRGA-002 on April 3, 2026.

Today I’m writing about some Woody Nelson Country Club branded Mandarin Sunrise that was grown by Rocky Mountain Cannabis. I bought this locally for $61 plus tax.

Mandarin Sunrise was bred by Ethos, and is a cross of Orange Skunk and Herijuana. They call it sativa dominant, but just based on bud structure, these round fat buds don’t look much like a sativa.

Only 3 buds and some popcorn made up my quarter, and the buds were super sticky.

It had a strong terpinolene heavy nose as I expected. In the vape, it’s a beautiful citrus and dank skunk right to the end of the bowl, smooth and tasty.

For me, the effects were a slightly sativa leaning hybrid, YMMV.

This is excellent cannabis. If you’re looking for a terpinolene heavy option, this should be on your list. I already want to go back for more.

Mastering the mathematical mysteries requires moxie, so I hope it doesn’t throw you into a malaise to hear the THC was 25.3% and the terpenes 3.73%.

My bag was packed May 1, 2026 in lot CC-MDSR-002.

Another Jublee product to look at today, their East Coast Aged Hash. I bought mine from Herbal Dispatch.

The hash came as a 2 gram temple ball in a standard big top small bottom glass jar with a silicone seal under the lid. The ball of hash is dark brown outside, and even when cut open it’s still quite dark, with some golden highlights.

The jar says the cultivars used were Mexican Haze, which is a straight sativa, and Panakeia, which is a high CBG, low THC hemp.

It’s made using a dry sift process, with the Panakeia kief thrown in to the mixture to add some CBG to the hash.

The texture is soft and easy to manipulate, and I think it should snake alright.

Not much of a smell to it though, and in a flower sandwich in the vape, it’s not too exciting, just adding a mild hashy musk to the overall flavour.

The effects are sativa leaning, and I did notice a small energy boost from it. Not too common in hash from my experience.

This is good mid tier hash, and I like the effects, but it could use a little more flavour.

If nonconforming numbers give you neuralgia, never fear, I know these are normal, the THC was 40.77%, the CBG 2.02%, and the terpenes 4.21%, with selina (aka selinene), caryophyllene, and beta-eudesmol, which is a new one on me, as the top 3.

My jar was packed on April 14, 2026 in lot ECH5-02726.

Today I’m looking at some Cloud City Mango #4 Organic Live Rosin. I bought it from Herbal Dispatch, but I see Cloud City isn’t in their menu anymore.

It came in a typical big top small bottom glass jar with no extra seal under the lid.

The rosin was a nice golden yellow colour and the consistency was a waxy rosin, seeming dry on top, but still wet underneath. I really like this texture, it’s nice and easy to handle.

I really enjoyed the flavour of this one, which I’d describe as a sweet hashy light musk, very smooth.

It was billed as an indica leaning option, so I used it for my late evening dab. It seemed to work pretty well for that, with light sedative effects.

This was excellent rosin, I’d probably put it right at the bottom of my top shelf. It was a little out of my price range, even after discount, but everyone deserves a treat now and again.

Digital deliberations can be difficult if you have a delicate demeanour, but don’t dismay, if I tell you the THC was 73.13%, and the terpenes 9.76%.

My jar was packed in lot 26CCCM4J01 on January 14, 2026.

Today I’m writing about the Iris Labs Cherry Bang Bang 510 Cart.

After contacting them about a problem with the Gastro Pop live resin I previously reviewed, I received this as a replacement product. So kudos to Iris Labs for standing behind their products.

The hardware is ceramic, and they promise 100% live resin with no additives, which are both things I really like in a cart.

The oil is a nice light golden yellow, and I get good clouds from it using a Ziva Pro at 2.4v. It falls apart a bit for me on the taste though, it’s more lemony nail polish remover than cherry and gas for me, and I can find it a touch harsh.

Confusingly, there is a Cherry Bang Bang cultivar, but this isn’t made from that, instead they say it’s a cherry phenotype of Pineapple Bang Bang, which is a cross between Pineapple Fruz and Wild Cherry.

This is still a really good cart, even if the flavour isn’t my favourite, just not a rebuy. I will probably try some of their other carts though.

If you marvel at mathematical meanderings, maybe you better not miss that the THC was 84.7% and the terpenes 12.254%, with myrcene, limonene, and pinene as the top 3.

My cart was packed on March 25, 2026 in lot 100404121454.

When my usual go to daytime Retro honey oil wasn’t available for my last order, I bought a Dab Bods Pink Frozay Live Resin Dab Syringe from Herbal Dispatch to test as an alternative.

It came in a little plastic tube, and there was a strong fruit candy smell when it was opened. Somewhat artificial, but not too bad I guess.

The resin was in the usual syringe, and although they say it’s “decarboxylated full spectrum live resin”, the label also mentioned that it was formulated with added cannabis terpenes.

In chocolate edibles, it added a distinct rose petal tea flavour, which was very strong, and left an aftertaste in my mouth that peanut butter couldn’t make go away.

I did get solid hybrid effects from it though, so no complaints there.

The added terpenes make the flavour way too strong for edibles, so not a rebuy for me, since that’s what I wanted it for. YMMV if you buy it for dabbing.

Mastering the mathematical mysteries requires moxie, I hope it doesn’t throw you into a malaise to hear the THC was 81.9%. That’s just the total THC though, sadly, the label doesn’t mention the decarbed THC, but based on their old COAs, I guessed that it was probably close to fully decarbed and it seemed to be.

The top 3 terpenes were limonene, caryophyllene, and pinene with a total of 4-6%.

My syringe was packed on April 16, 2026 as part of lot 26RDS3826.
