Vape or Flower?

Vape or Flower?

Posted by CANNASaver on Monday, 31 October 2022 in Canna Blog

Canna-newbies and canna-connoisseurs are typically flocking to dispensaries for one of two products: vape or flower.

Longer-established marijuana smokers often go with what they’ve grown accustomed to – smoking a bong, joint, or pipe.

And why not?! 

Flower is timeless and has aged well. Flower was probably the very first way you ever delighted by marijuana’s righteousness.

Nonetheless, as legalization sores high in the sky; vaping has gotten pretty famous over the long haul.

Vaping is often seen as the new-age alternative to burning a bowl. Many people love vaping due to its ease of use and discreetness. Vaporization is the process of heating cannabis oils to specific temperatures below the point of combustion in a vape pen.

So, whether you are an experienced THC hero or a rookie looking to broaden your horizons, you've started thinking, “So which is it then? Vape or Flower?”

Let’s discuss.

smoking flower vs vape

Differences Between Vaping And Smoking Weed

Even though marijuana flower options increase in potency continuously and only seem to climb up, vaping has become prominent in the cannabis industry for providing a grander punch than regular marijuana flower.

Vaporization works by warming THC molecules to a temperature between 250-400 degrees fahrenheit which is what creates the vapor you smoke. This interaction of precise heat and cannabis oil, optimizes the way in which your body intakes cannabis. It only uses enough heat to create a highly concentrated marijuana vapor.

While smoking works by requiring combustion to smoke THC, smoking flower produces cancer-causing synthetic compounds as a side-effect of said combustion. This can cause hacking, wheezing, shortness in breath, and various other lung problems.

Marijuana vape cartridges offer an alternative to the combustion of smoking and can lighten the coughing.

Which is Most Efficient: Vape or Flower?

Let's look at some of the most efficient ways to smoke weed and where vaping and smoking flower rank...

In Terms Of Potency and Your “High”

Recent studies have found that vaping does, in fact, give you a more fantastic high than smoking flower.  

In those particular studies,  different volunteers had their pulses constantly monitored, blood pressure was checked during their smoke sessions, and had blood drawn throughout the day.

When vaped, cannabis can create much more fantastical results than with regular ol Mary Jane. Vaping has been stated by some smokers to cause those individuals to feel a lot higher than by just smoking marijuana flower; for better and worse. Per THC dosage, flower just can’t compare to vape.

Last Good and Important Note About Vaping Cannabis: This absolutely means that if you are a first-time passenger on the cannabis vaping train, be aware of how much you're intaking and go slow. 

In Terms Of Cost

The financial aspects of smoking as opposed to vaping are really comparable. 

The definitive difference depend on several factors, most notably, the manner by which you choose to indulge in cannabis.

For instance, a gram of cannabis flower can cost roughly $7-$10. So, if you smoke one gram of flower consistently for seven days, expenses could amount to roughly $49-$70 per week.

On the flip side, many people consider vaping to be at a more reasonable cost than flower. 

With control of the temperature, you are able to give your a nice dosing of THC with any sort of flame. 

With vapes being considered more potent than flower, some people can get a gram of a cartridge to last longer; though cartridge prices vary.

Which is More Convenient: Vape or Flower?

Smoking marijuana is something you can do alone or to share as a significant method for mingling with your peers. Setting up your weed for smoking is social and fun. Ceremonial, even.

But vaping provides a more discreet experience than smoking. One of the most engaging parts of vaping cannabis is that it doesn't produce as strong of a smell as flower tends to. 

It is also easier to conceal and hide away if needed.

Which One Lasts Longer: Vape or Flower?

Which method is going to last the longest? Let's look at vape first.

Vape Cartridge Life Span

If your cartridge starts to “go bad” it won't taste as good, won’t be as potent, and can cause more coughing/headaches.

One way to check if it’s good or not is whether you notice the color and viscosity are similar to when you bought it. The oil inside the cartridge should be golden/amber in color. It also should have a general clarity to it as well.

Shelf life is typically a year in good conditions.

Flower’s Life Span

If your flower starts to go bad, you’ll notice a lot of it through smell. It begins to smell different and/or loses its smell altogether. 

The buds will start feeling different: either too wet or too dry. If the buds are wet, be careful for mold. Mold is the last thing you want to be smoking. 

If you store your flower in good conditions, it can last 6-12 months.

Which Is Healthier: Vaping Or Flower?

Though vaping is technically the “healthiest” of the smoking options, eating edibles is the only one absolute way to ingest cannabis without long term effects to your body.

Vaping’s Effects On Your Lungs

When you have a high-quality vape product, there are a few reasons why it may just become the product of choice for your marijuana needs.

As vaporizing cannabinoids promptly introduces them to your circulatory system and of course, your lungs. This enables you feel the cannabis much faster.  

Vaping is considered less damaging than smoking flower, but the real answer is, long-term data just isn’t known as of yet. Vaping is too new of a product of the market. Be mindful of low quality vaporizers that can appear just about anywhere. These are usually made with delicate plastic parts that you would rather not breathe in. 

Flower’s Effects On Your Lungs

Some might contend that marijuana smoke isn't as hurtful as tobacco smoke, though, this doesn’t absolve flower from its potential harm on your throat and lungs. 

At the point when flower combusts, the high temperature of the fire consumes a portion of the terpenes and cannabinoids.

Taking in smoke into your lungs can risk breathing in cancer-causing carcinogens.

So Which One Is Better? Vape or Flower?

In the end, ultimately which is better is going to be up to you. Both kinds of marijuana are different from each other. You will just have to choose which journey to go on. But never worry, both will get you where you need to go.

Vaping Provides:

  • Efficiency
  • A discreet experience
  • A punch of flavors
  • Absolute control over temperature

Flower Provides

  • More intense effects
  • No learning curve
  • Low maintenance

Gas Station Weed Now a Thing

Posted by CANNASaver on Thursday, 20 October 2022 in Marijuana

Circle K to Sell Weed

Circle K has officially launched its quest for world domination, as 10 stores are slated to start selling weed in Florida beginning in 2023. According to a company statement, Green Thumb Industries has partnered with the gas station chain to make every visit to the dismal location more kick-ass, or interesting, people-wise. While historical, and awesome, some are worried that the ganj might smell like hot dog juice or trash… And in an unrelated story, a local dispensary opens its own donut bar and microbrew.

Most Efficient Way to Smoke Weed

Most Efficient Way to Smoke Weed

Posted by CANNASaver on Friday, 14 October 2022 in Canna Blog

From your traditional joint to modern-day vapes, there are countless ways to consume marijuana. Although the result is ultimately the same, which is, it gets you high, there are ways stoners can get the most out of their weed without sacrificing the high or breaking the bank.

Efficient Consumption of Cannabis

Exploring different ways of consuming cannabis can help you find ways of keeping your tolerance low and lengthen the time between purchases.

Regular marijuana consumption can be costly.

Depending on your tolerance and the cost of your chosen consumption method, there might be other ways of getting high that could be more beneficial to your bank account. 

Next time you visit your local dispensary, discuss with your budtender the different options and products available to you.

Don’t forget to check Cannasaver before you go, as we have new deals daily! 

Most Efficient Ways to Get High

You shouldn’t have to sacrifice weed quality or shell out big bucks the next time you visit your local dispensary. There are several ways to get high efficiently.

Let’s learn more below.

dab tool and wax

Reach new highs with dabs

Dabbing refers to the inhalation of vapors or smoke emitted from THC concentrates. This smoking method can produce strong effects as most concentrates contain up to 80% THC. If you choose to dab, you can get high with little product.

However, some dab rigs cost upward of $350 and require extra accessories such as a dab tool, blowtorch or power source, resulting in an even higher price tag.

Check out some current deals on concentrates:

Verano Sunrock Shatter 1g $65 - GreenGate Chicago

8 grams of wax and shatter for $80 - Lucky Monkey Buds II

$12.95 Shatter - Pure Marijuana Dispensary

Microdose and consider a one-hitter

A one-hitter is a slender pipe with a screen designed for intimation. One hitter allows you to smoke smaller quantities while still getting very high. Most one-hitters can only pack in a small serving of about 25 mg. Microdosing your marijuana can prolong your stash and save you money. Most one-hitters go for an average of $10, cheaper than other smoking tools such as vapes and dab rigs.

Check out some current deals for your one-hitters:

Flower ⅛ pre-packed $20/3.5g - Oz Cannabis, Detroit

$56 oz of House Choice Flower - Cannabay, Bay City

Discount Flower Oz $55.50+ - Urban Gardens, Kalamazoo

Vape your weed

Vaping your weed can produce an intense but short high when using flowers, so depending on the smoker, this might not be the most efficient method. Stoners can choose to vape both flowers and concentrates, making it versatile. Concentrates usually come in cartridges or shatter, which can be more potent than regular weed. Another benefit to vaping is that you can smoke the byproducts of your bud. Whether it is kief or resin, vaping can help you extend the longevity of your stash.

Discover deals on cartridges and wax/shatter here:

Vape Cartridges 1000mg for $30 - Skymint, Hazel Park

Grassroots, Bubba Diagonal 1g Live Sugar - EarthMed, Rosemont

500mg Verano Vape Cartridges for $55 - Zen Leaf, Naperville

weed edibles

Eat your weed with edibles

Edibles can be very potent, perfect for stoners looking to chase an out-of-this-world high.

Start with a small dose and gradually increase when you feel comfortable with the high. The catch with edibles is that it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours for the high to hit, so be patient and don’t eat the whole thing at once.

Smokers with lower tolerance should be cautious about how much edibles they consume at a time.

Check out some deals on edibles:

25% off all gummies sale - Fingerboard Farm Market

Mindy’s Gummies $30 (20pk) - GreenGate Chicago

Incredible 100mg Chocolate Bars $40 - Cannabist Villa Park

weed flower

Get high with leftovers with shake

"Shake" is a byproduct of weed. Some leaves, stems or other parts in the plan fall off and form a dust-like substance. Shake can be extra potent and even accumulate kief on top, which can be more powerful than regular weed. You can even try making your edibles with Shake! Shake is cheaper than other bud and is a good option if rolling multiple joints or making edibles. 

Discover deals on shake:

2oz Shake $39.50 - Cannabay, Bay City

3.5g Shake for $40 Assorted Strains - Ascend, Montclair

$25 Trim Oz’s - The Healing Tree, Denver

Smoke and Save Efficiently with Cannasaver

Best Dispensary in Los Angeles

Best Dispensary in Los Angeles

Posted by CANNASaver on Saturday, 08 October 2022 in Canna Blog

There’s a lot to love about LA. What can you find, aside from famous places like Hollywood and Beverly Hills? Well, California’s largest city is also incredibly lit. The City of Angels has the second-greatest population in the United States. It also has a huge population of pot users.

Thankfully, weed use is legal in this West Coast city. Consequently, there are scores of stoner stores for shoppers to choose from. They have both medical and recreational provisioning centers. But how do you know which LA dispensary is the best?

We will explore the excellent weed-supplying options open to Angelenos. To begin, you'll get some background into the history of legal bud use there.

Further, we will look at pot pricing. That way you can get an idea of cannabis costs in the coastal metropolis.

Who can buy bud in the City of Angels? We’ll explain the California cannabis laws state-licensed stoner stores must abide by.

Next, we will show you how to save cash when you shop to resupply your stash. You can search for the best bud buys right here on this site.

Finally, we will name the top pot shop in the city.

Just like in Los Angeles, there’s a lot to discover – so let’s start with a little history.

shop los angeles dispensaries

How Long Have Dispensaries Been Open in Los Angeles?

It was way back in 1996 that medical marijuana use was legalized in the state of California. The legislation that allowed patient use was called the Compassionate Use Act. This law made it legal for patients with a doctor’s prescription to cultivate and own pot plants.  

Patient dispensaries followed immediately. One of the first provisioning places was the Los Angeles Cannabis Resource Center. It opened in 1996. There were now centers where cardholders could supply their cannabis needs.

Recreation weed legislation followed two decades later in 2016. Naturally, casual-use cannabis shops came shortly thereafter. Now, everyone of legal age could buy themselves some bud.

LA, being the largest city, was at the forefront of pot shops for both patients and non-medical users.

Nowadays, there are scores of stoner stores all over the city.

With so many options to get ganja, what does that do to prices at your neighborhood dispensary? Let’s look at the menu costs at various metropolitan marijuana marts.

driving in downtown los angeles

What are Typical Dispensary Prices in Los Angeles?

Now, various things can affect weed prices anywhere. Cannabis, like many consumables, doesn’t have uniform pricing everywhere. 

Location is one factor.

A Beverly Hills dispensary may likely have higher prices than elsewhere in the city. 

The popularity of a strain is another factor.

There are top-shelf, middling, and bottom-tier varieties of grass. The potency of the particular pot can often determine its position in the hierarchy. 

Then there are dispensary deals. Some places have bargains going on certain strains or products. Of course, there’s Cannasaver, the very site you’re on.

We're dedicated to getting you good weed deals at your local dispensary. And we’ll show you how it works a little further on.

But now, we’ll give you a glimpse of some costs you’ll find throughout town. 

Let’s start small with a preroll.

At Coastal in West LA, you can get a 1.4g preroll for $12. They also have a coupon for 2 for $20.

At Firehaus on Sepulveda Blvd, you can get an eighth-sized joint for $10.

How about carts?

At Happy Leaf Collective on Westwood Blvd, you can get a 1 gram cartridge for as little as $25. Whereas at New Amsterdam Naturals, they can be had for $20.

Now let’s look at an eighth ounce of flower.

Happy Leaf Collective will set you up for $30 minimum.

Over at Coastal in West LA $22 is a bargain eighth

As you can see, there isn’t a great disparity in pricing.

Typically, a premade joint will cost you $10-$12. A cart runs between $20-25 on the low end of pricing. And snagging an eighth of nug will spot you around $22 to $30.

Obviously, prices are subject to change. You can always call the specific store before you show up to shop, too.

Now, who can take advantage of these prices?

Can Anyone Buy From a Dispensary in Los Angeles?

Are there any qualifications for cannabis buying and consumption in this California city? Sure, there’s always legal guidelines when it comes to getting ganja. Here’s what you need to know. 

First of all, medical marijuana patients must be at least 18 with a doctor’s recommendation. They also have to apply for a state-issued card. Recreational tokers must be at least 21 years old.

How much weed can you buy? Those with a med card have higher possession limits. They also can grow more plants at home. Altogether, pot patients can have 6 to 12 plants and eight ounces of cannabis at a time. Casual users can own six plants max and up to an ounce of flower.

Do you have to be a native Californian? No, out-of-state stoners can shop at LA dispensaries. Factually, tourists can buy weed legally throughout the state. All you need is a valid driver’s license for recreational. California doesn’t recognize out-of-state medical certification. But you can apply for one without a local address. Or you could just buy recreational.

So, how do you find a dispensary to shop at and get good deals?

Sort Weed Deals by Dispensary

Cannasaver can help you find a provisioning center with bud bargains you want. If you live in or are visiting Los Angeles, use the location icon below the upper left search box. Then you can enter the search term you are interested in. Or you can use the drop-down menus to the right to find the deals you desire.

Pretty simple, right?

Okay, you’ve been patient. We promised we’d clue you in to the best pot place in town. So, which of the ones we mentioned above makes the top spot?

downtown los angeles dispensaries

Overall Best Dispensary in Los Angeles

It was a tough call. That’s because all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles that we feature are fine places to get flower and other ganja goods. 

Certainly, you can choose your own favorite and shop there.

Taking into account price and selection, we went with Firehaus (for now). 

They have a wide selection of weed wares and decent daily dispensary deals. They also give regular discounts to students, seniors, and first-time shoppers.

At Firehaus, you can pick up everything from flower to carts to edibles. Concentrates, tinctures, and topicals – they have it all. Their regular prices are affordable, but they also offer plenty of bud bargains.

Halloween Edibles Recipes

Trick AND Treat! Halloween is almost upon us and the spooky season of fright and delights isn’t just for the kiddies. 

For the holiday-loving adults, nothing says “Happy Halloween” while carving pumpkins, making a costume, and preparing for your haunted house of horrors; like cannabis-infused treats. 

With the day of fright creeping just around the corner, we just had to conjure up some halloween edibles recipes for your up-and-coming Monster Mash.

So, do you have what your party guests will be “carving” for? 

If you want to do Halloween right this year and truly make it something special, let us show you the edible making process and set you up with some Halloween edible recipes.

halloween weed edibles & recipes

Making Halloween Edibles

Marijuana edibles are some of the most potent means of ingesting cannabis, and quite the adult party favor at any Halloween Party! Just make sure your guests are well informed and prepared. For connoisseurs, they can be a real hoot. But for newer consumers, it can be a little intense. 

Step 1: Cannabutter

Cannabis butter, also known as cannabutter, is a primary ingredient when infusing edibles. Most edibles on the market use some form of cannabutter which produces the high that most people want. 

Cannabutter is the beginning point of your edible making journey. You're going to need a lot of flower for this step, so save on an ounce of weed to start your process.

When making cannabutter:

  • Use high quality cannabis as a plus
  • Use fatty, high quality butter (avoid using fat-free butter or margarine)
  • Grind your cannabis (Not too fine)

Shopping List For Cannabutter

  • 1 ounce shake (make sure to grind and decarboxylate)
  • 4 sticks of butter
  • 2 cups of water
  • A non-sticking baking sheet
  • Cheesecloth (or coffee maker)
  • Airtight glass jar
  • A big pot

When you are making your batch of cannabutter, it is recommended that  you use a 1:1 ratio of marijuana flower to butter. If this ends up being too much for you and want milder effects just use less marijuana. 

Your Basic Instructions For Making Cannabutter

  1. Grind All Your Flower Up: Use a grinder or your hands to break down the flower to have an even consistency. You don’t want a fine powder in the end.
  2. Decarb Your Buds: Start by Preheating your oven to 245ºF. Use a baking sheet and put loose, ground buds on it. Let it heat for 30-40 minutes. Every 10-15 minutes, stir the flowers slowly to expose all the flower buds to heat.
  3. Let Your Butter Melt: Put your stove on a low heat. Melt your 4 sticks of butter in a saucepan or slow cooker. Add 2 cups of water, this helps to regulate temperature.Add Your Cannabis Into The Mix: When the butter finishes melting, feel free to then add the decarbed marijuana.
  4. Let Your Mixture Simmer: Set the stove between 160-200ºF, let your mixture simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours. Don’t go any higher than 200ºF or you risk burning off precious cannabinoids from the mixture. Never let it come to a full boil.
  5. Strain Your Mixture: Put your cheesecloth over the jar. Then pour your cannabutter mixture through the cloth. You can throw away any plant material left behind.
  6. Refrigerate Your Final Product: The last step, put the jar of butter in your fridge. Allow the butter to solidify before cooking with it. Usually just overnight.

Delicious Halloween Edible Recipes

Okay, now you've made cannabutter, now comes the fun part – BAKING! ....FOOD, we mean!

  7. Take the apples and dip each into the melted chocolate. Let them cool off for a few.
  8. Enjoy! A quick and easy edible just right for Halloween.

Med card holders can get 2.5 ounces every 2 weeks. 

Visitors can get up to an ounce of flower. Concentrates are restricted to 5 grams. 

And what about edibles? Let’s take a closer look.

How Much Recreational Edibles Can You Buy in Arizona?

Trippy treats are popular because they’re easy, long-lasting, and discreet. 

Just take a bite of hash brownie and you’ll soon be blissfully buzzed for hours. You can down an edible anywhere and likely no one will notice. What’s not to love?

One downside to edibles is that if you’re not careful, you can overindulge. Trippy treats can take half an hour or more to kick in. So, inexperienced cannabis consumers may bite off more than they can chew. 

It’s best to try a moderate amount and wait to see how it affects you. The upside to eating ganja goods is that the effects last a good long time. 

Compared to smoking or vaping, consuming cannabis orally gives effects for hours. Inhaling cannabinoids tends to wear off within an hour or so.

As to what kinds of weed eats there are to choose from, the variety is nearly endless. Edibles range from beverages to cookies. And, of course, there are the ever-popular gummies.

How much of this stuff can you buy? In Arizona, it’s the same as wax concentrates, 5 grams.

Now, what about the costs of buying weed?

How Much is an Ounce in an Arizona Dispensary? 

When you’re out west, how much can you expect to pay for pot in Arizona? 

Well, that depends on what kind of weed you want to buy. Let’s look first at flower, then we’ll discuss some other ways to get stoned.

If you’re going to buy an ounce of flower, then you’ll be looking at almost $300 for the top-shelf stuff

Mid-level marijuana may run you closer to $200 an ounce. Keep in mind that prices may change for a variety of reasons.

Why would costs vary? Economic factors change for everything from toothpaste to footwear, from time to time. The popularity and availability of certain strains can play a part in pricing. Whether or not there’s a sale or specials going will also affect your out-of-pocket pot expense.

On that last point, stay tuned to the end for some ways to save big on bud.

To give you an idea of overall dispensary pricing, here’s a sample of items.

At Debbie’s Dispensary in North Phoenix, you can get some shatter for $25 per gram.

Oasis Cannabis in Chandler will sell a 1-gram vape oil cartridge for $45.

Spend $14.68 and get 100mg of gummies at White Mountain dispensary in Sun City.

And $8 prerolls can be found at Tucson’s Downtown Dispensary.

Keep in mind, that prices will vary. Consumer costs change on everything, that’s life. Always call to verify prices. 

Now, before we get to how to save big on bud and more, there’s one more thing to consider. How are you going to pay for it? Can you use cash or charge?

Are AZ Dispensaries Cash Only?

Unfortunately, there is still a federal prohibition on marijuana. Though many states legalized medical and/or recreational use, banks won’t deal with dispensaries

That is true in Arizona and every other US state.

Unfortunately, dispensaries are cash only. 

But you can certainly save some of that legal tender by shopping smart. 

That’s exactly where Cannasaver comes in! We feature a list of Arizona dispensaries that have great weed deals.

Disposable Vape vs Cartridge

Disposable Vape vs Cartridge

Posted by CANNASaver on Thursday, 15 September 2022 in Canna Blog

Cannabis vape pens are just so convenient and easy to use. Press a button and puff away for a buzz with benefits. But which kind is best? Are disposable vaporizers the way to go or are cartridges better? 

Do you really know the differences between disposables versus carts? If so, cool. If not, then we’ll explain.

And we’ll cover which kind lasts longer, giving you the most mileage for your cannabis cash. Thus, we will discuss the costs of limited-use vapes. Next, we'll compare buying pen bases with removable cartridges. 

As we always do, we’ll show you how to save when vape shopping at your friendly neighborhood dispensary.

Let’s start with the pros and cons of disposable vape pens and cannabis oil cartridges.

weed vape cartridge

Are Disposable Vapes Better Than Cartridges?

Whether one is better than the other likely depends on the person.

The biggest plus to all-in-one, pitchable pens is simplicity. They are easy to use, and you don’t have to worry about charging them.

For newbies to vaping, uncomplicated cannabis is ideal. All they gotta do is buy a disposable vape, open it and press a button to puff. Once they’ve used up all the vape juice, then they just toss it in a garbage can. 

Cartridges are 510-threaded modules that screw onto a rechargeable battery base. They are filled with concentrated cannabis oil, like all-in-one vapes are. But different carts can be swapped out on any standard vape pen in about a minute. 

They aren’t much harder to use than a temporary vape. But the base does need to be powered up periodically. And the oil in cartridges can weaken over time with long-term storage.

Thus, someone with more experience might prefer switching carts on a rechargeable pen. Whereas newbie vapers might find disposables somewhat simpler.

Let’s look closer at the differences between these kinds of vaporizers.

disposable vape cartridge

What are the Differences Between Vape Pens and Cartridges?

First of all, there’s more to vaping than just these two pen options. There’s also dry leaf vaping. And then there are tabletop vaporizers

Herb vaping is somewhat complicated. You got to grind the ganja flower and then pack the heating chamber. And they must be brushed out and cleaned. But some prefer the taste of roasted leaf versus oil or concentrates.

Tabletop vapes have a mouthpiece on the end of a hose that connects to a plug-in base. They can be used for either concentrates or herb. But they’re not very portable.

The two simplest devices are disposable pen vapes and cartridges for battery bases.

Disposables are one solid unit. They usually come in a cardboard box that you open to get at the pen. All you gotta do is press a button to begin puffing. Some you don’t even have to do that, you just inhale.

These throw-aways usually last for around 100 hits, then they’re done.

There’s obviously a bit more to the cart and battery base combo. The components are usually sold separately. You buy the base and then buy various cartridges to use with it.

Many 510 pens have a variable heat setting. With a double click, you can go from low to medium to high energy settings. That affects how hot the oil gets and thus how strong the hit is. 

Of course, using the higher setting will drain the battery faster. The base can be recharged again and again for many months before it is spent. And a full charge can last for dozens of hits, again depending on how high you set the temp.

Eventually, you’ll need to buy a new vape base for your carts.

Now, these are the major differences between the two types of portable vaporizer pens. Which will get you the most mileage overall? 

Do Cartridges or Disposable Vapes Last Longer?

Both kinds of vaping devises will give you well over a hundred puffs. With variable temperatures, rechargeable vapes may give fewer hits if kept on high.

So, which lasts longer?

The best answer to this question is “It depends”. The more you use either, the less time you will have before it is out of oil or the battery drains.

Obviously, with carts and battery bases, you replace an emptied cartridge with a fresh one. And when the base is out of charge, you just plug it in for a while.

Technically, you could say the cartridge option lasts the longest. After all, you can refill and repower the pen.

So, does that mean that rechargeables are the best bet for your cannabis cash?

Which is Cheaper?

Weedy living can get expensive. So, you want to stretch those stoner savings whenever you can.

When choosing between portable and pen options, is there a cheaper vape?

When buying a throw-away pen, you’re paying for one item. But with reusable devices, you have to purchase the pen and then you have to get a cart. So, there’s more expense, initially with the latter.

But, if you factor in usage over time, then a base plus a cart may be more cost-effective in the long run.

For example, at one dispensary in Denver, High Level Health, a half-gram disposable is $30.  But a half-gram cart, by itself is $27. To that, you have to add the cost of a vape pen, if you don’t already own one. The same place sells a reusable battery base for 510-threaded carts at $22.98.

Thus the costs are about the same - if you already have a reusable pen to attach your carts to. Otherwise, a disposable would be cheaper because you don’t have to buy a vape pen additionally.

Prices are subject to change, but you can still note the similarity in pricing.

Okay, you’ve seen the pros and cons of the two kinds of vaping pens. The choice now is entirely up to you. Now let’s look at some deals on disposables, rechargeables, and cannabis oil cartridges.

What is the Best Form of Concentrate?

What is the Best Form of Concentrate?

Posted by CANNASaver on Sunday, 11 September 2022 in Canna Blog

Cannabis connoisseurs love their concentrates. Whether you are a professional dabber or someone looking to expand their cannabis concentrate horizons, maybe you have started wondering what the best form of cannabis concentrate really is.

Unlike some things we buy in our lives, marijuana comes in a vast array of delectable forms. This, of course, works its way into the concentrate realm as well.

The different types of marijuana concentrates you can buy grow as more and more states legalize recreational marijuana. The world of cannabis concentrates can be a little frustrating or intimidating to navigate to those who don’t know as much about wax concentrates.

So, kick back, relax, and let’s discuss cannabis concentrates. Let’s get you the best form of concentrate possible (and some deals).

rosin best form of concentrate

What Are Cannabis Concentrates Exactly?

So cannabis concentrates, simply put, are extremely potent smokables which you typically “dab”.

They consist of various marijuana compounds like terpenes and cannabinoids

Concentrates are very high in THC and CBD. They typically can reach levels up to 4x higher than any high-tier (like Private Reserve or Top Shelf) bud on the shelf.

Differences Between Various Types of Concentrates

The key differences in concentrates are typically shown through what extraction process is used.

This comes down to whether the cannabis concentrate is Solventless or Solvent-based.

Solventless

Solventless extracts are concentrates which claim to have no solvents involved while extracting (contains no propane, butane, or similar solvent). These are considered the most “organic” form of marijuana concentrates.

Solventless concentrates consist of sauce, diamonds, ice hash, and rosin.

Solvent-Based

Solvent-based concentrates  use propane, CO2, butane, or ethanol to extract the cannabinoids and terpenes from the flower. The textures, characteristics,taste, and color in the final concentrate form are typically used to name each cannabis product. 

Solvent-based concentrates include: wax, shatter, crumble.

live resin best form of concentrate

Forms of Marijuana Concentrates

Armed with more concentrate knowledge, let’s talk about the different consistencies you’ll find while shopping for concentrates.

Wax

Wax is the most common type of marijuana concentrate. In the final form, waxes are usually sticky to the touch. Its yellow/amber color gives the concentrate a look like a kind of tree sap. Waxes are often extracted using butane and propane. 

Waxes are a good first step in using concentrate products. They tend to stay pretty consistent in potency so you will always know what you’re getting into. Wax also has the ability to retain the original terpenes to the best of its ability.

Shatter

The shatter form of concentrate is by far one of the most popular forms of cannabis extracts.

Shatter gets its name from looking so fragile, it might “shatter”. When packaged, you can typically find shatter wrapped in parchment paper due to shatter’s stickiness.

Shatter’s appearance presents a clear, smooth, and solid final product. Naturally, the final appearance of the product saids everything you need to know about the quality of your concentrate. Look for a honey-like appearance and absolutely avoid blackened concentrates.

Ice Hash

Ice wax is a form of bubble hash which is made by utilizing frozen plant material.

Ice wax is made by using a specialized ice extraction technique which is solventless. The outcome of this technique is pure trichomes (kief). The concentrate maintains its natural aromas and terpene profiles.

Distillates

Distillates are relatively new in the concentrates area of cannabis. Many distillate  products are much more discreet and convenient to use compared to other concentrates on this list. 

Distillates are known to be much more potent than some of the other concentrates on this list. On average, shatters and waxes are between 60%-75% THC while distillates can go as high as 99% THC. 

Though with the refinement process, natural terpenes are usually non-existent in the end product.

Rosin

Rosin is another concentrate which is made without any solvents. Rosin uses compressed heat to extract concentrates from dried buds or kief. 

The appearance is golden and oil-like.  The final product takes on a shatter or even ice wax consistency. Rosin is the most natural concentrate and is popular for this.

Live Resin

Live resin is special because it is extracted using live plants. Using live plants leads to live resin being higher in terpenes in comparison to other concentrates. 

The live resin process starts with a freshly harvested marijuana plant which is then put into freezing immediately. Freezing the plant preserves the trichomes from being hurt by sunlight or other THC degrading elements.

Live resins vary in appearance from batch to batch but are normally golden in color.  Live resin is typically the go to for the most flavorful of the concentrates.

Diamonds and Terp Sauce

Diamonds and terpene sauce  actually come from Live Resin as its origin point. They use a freezing process which preserves freshness and cannabinoid profiles.

After freezing, the product of live resin is stored in jars. This process builds pressure in the jars. The pressure creates THCA crystals also known as diamonds. Diamonds sink to the bottom of the consistency. The rest of the consistency is juicy terpene sauce. Rich in flavor.

best form of concentrate for dabbing

So, What Is the Best Form of Concentrate?

It's hard to pick just one, so it really depends on what you're going after...here are some categories to narrow it down.

For Aroma/Flavor

The reason many canna-connoisseurs love marijuana is for its pungent smells emitted through terpenes. Scents like diesel, citrus, earthy, floral, and fruity which full a nose with delight.

For those who enjoy these aspects of cannabis; concentrates like live resin, diamonds, and terp sauce will be right up your alley.

For Dabbing

Most of these consistencies are good-to-go for putting in a dab rig, vaporizer, nail, etc. Concentrates like wax or shatter are popularly used because of their ease of use. Concentrates like bubble hash, ice hash, or kief are not recommended to dab due to having plant material still present in the consistency.

For Purity

Distillates are the purest form of cannabis concentrate. The process which distillates use removes plant matter, terpenes, and other impurities. This leaves behind an oil that can hit potencies of 99% THC. 

For Potency

As mentioned before, distillates hit potencies of 99%, so won’t get much higher than that. Though, shatter and diamonds are up there trying to hit these potencies at 80% THC. Live resin is the third at THC levels hitting 70%.

One thing is for certain, all of these cannabis concentrates are a great choice for a good, clean high. What it all comes down to is what you desire out of your marijuana concentrate experience. You decide what is your favorite form of concentrate.

Where to Buy Weed

Where to Buy Weed

Posted by CANNASaver on Friday, 09 September 2022 in Canna Blog

You feel the need to get yourself some weed. Okay, but where-oh-where can you buy bud and other pot products? That is an excellent question. 

You need to know how exactly to go about getting ganja. Stoner stores are called dispensaries or provisioning centers. For some medical patients, there are also caregivers who can get ganja on a patient’s behalf.

But what are the requirements for these marijuana merchandisers and pot providers? We’ll let you know the conditions under which you can buy from cannabis shops.

And what states have legalized recreational and/or medical sales? Is your state one of them? Do these states allow visitors to buy weed? These are all important points to ponder.  

Knowing the answers to all the above, you now must ask the most important question of all. That is, how can you save money buying marijuana? Cannasaver can definitely help you there!

Let’s start with how you go about getting some of the good stuff.

where to buy recreational weed

How To Buy Weed

Buying ganja at a dispensary isn’t exactly like going to the grocery store. There’s still a federal prohibition on pot. So, state dispensaries have strict rules they have to abide by. That means cannabis consumers have to know local laws.

In most states, there is an age requirement for weed procuring and use. 21 years old is the standard, generally.

Provisioning centers are licensed for medical marijuana, recreational or both. Some states offer medical and some also allow casual consumption. We’ll cover which ones offer what momentarily.

Those locations that require cards have set fees and procedures for obtaining them. Medical authorization requires a doctor’s certification for potential patients. Time frames for the process of getting a card vary.

Regardless of whether you are required to have a physician’s authorization to purchase weed store merchandise or not, you will need cash. The Federal prohibition mentioned above means banks won’t allow credit or debit card use.

Once you are legally compliant and have some cash to spend, you just need to find a dispensary to shop at.

So, which states have what kind of weed stores? Do you know what your local laws allow? Let’s look.

What States Can You Buy Weed In Right Now?

Here is a sampling of states and what they allow. Because some states’ laws are changing, the list is not entirely comprehensive.

Several states that were strictly medical to start have added recreational. In certain locations, new legislation may be forthcoming to legalize. It’s always best to check your local laws to be sure.

The following places have pot laws allowing purchases from provisioning centers.

Arizona

• This state passed medical marijuana laws in 2010, with sales beginning in 2012.

Recreational sales were okayed in 2020.

• Though there are medical exceptions for minors, the age for legal use is 21. For younger people, parents or guardians can be appointed as caregivers.

• Limits include 2.5 ounces every two weeks for pot patients. It's an ounce per dispensary visit for recreational users. No more than 5 grams in concentrates, extracts, and edibles is the rule.

Arkansas

• Arkansas voted in prescribed pot in 2017, with the first licensed stores opening in 2019.

• Yep, you gotta be at least twenty-one years old.

• Thus far there is no casual use allowed. But there is a ballot initiative for recreational sales and possession in 2022.

• Restrictions stipulate 2.5 ounces of flower for cardholders every 14 days.

buy weed in colorado

Colorado

• It was back in 2000 that Coloradans were allowed to purchase pot with a physician’s prescription. Recreational use was okayed in 2012.

• The legal age is, as in most places, 21.

• It is legal to purchase and possess no more than an ounce of marijuana for non-medical consumers. Those with a med card can have 2 ounces.

Illinois

Medical marijuana was approved for the Land of Lincoln in 2013. Recreational weed followed in January 2020.

• The minimum age is the same as the above states.

• Card-carrying cannabis users can have can get 2.5 ounces every two weeks. All others can only buy and own an ounce. Between flower, edibles, and concentrates there is a cap of 500mg of total THC for both.

Maryland

• This state has had pot for patients since 2014. Recreational ganja is on tap for a November 2022 ballot initiative

• 18 is the legal age here for medical certification. 

• 120 grams is the restriction for possession. That’s specified for every 30 days.

Michigan

• The mitten state has both kinds of marijuana available. Cards for prescribed cannabis use have been available since 2009. Casual use was signed into law in 2018.

• You will have to have reached your twenty-first birthday to enjoy either kind of weed in Michigan.

• Whether a patient or just a stoner, 2.5 ounces is the max amount of pot you can possess at any one time.

Minnesota

Medical was legalized in 2014. Otherwise only edibles made from hemp with less than 50mg total THC are okay. Smoking weed without a card is thus far still illegal in 2022.

• If you’re 18 or over, you can get a prescription from your doctor in Minnesota and then apply for a med card.

• Qualified citizens can get and keep up to two and a half ounces of herb every couple of weeks.

Missouri

• 2018 was the year that physician-prescribed pot was voted into law. This is another place with recreational use on the ballot in 2022.

• The acceptable age is twenty-one or older.

• Here you can have a generous 4 ounces per month.

Oklahoma

• Ok, this is the last state we’ll cover. This jurisdiction, too, has medical use marijuana but nothing for non-patients. Yet. There is a proposal on the 2022 ballot.

• 21-year-olds and older can get qualified for med cards.

Qualifying people with a state license can carry 3 ounces, personally. They are allowed up to 8 oz. at home. 1 ounce is the restriction for concentrates and edibles cannot be more than 72 ounces.

Many other places are in the process of legalizing some form of cannabis. So, it’s a good idea to check out your local laws.

Is there anything else you need to know about getting yourself some ganja? Well, what about stoner shopping on vaycay?

Can You Buy Weed On Vacation? 

So, you decide to travel but want to toke. Can you buy weed with an out-of-state license?

The short answer is ‘sometimes’. Many states do allow marijuana purchases for tourists.

Those that have recreational generally will let a visitor purchase with a valid ID.  And many medical states will allow vacationing patients to use their home state certification to buy cannabis.

Of the states highlighted above, Arkansas, Nevada, and Oklahoma allow visitor purchases.  

Whenever you’re traveling, check the local laws to be sure.

At this point, the only thing left to learn is where to get great ganja deals.

Top Shelf Strains

Top Shelf Strains

Posted by CANNASaver on Friday, 19 August 2022 in Canna Blog

Seasoned stoners are always looking for ‘the next best strain’ to complete their stash. If you smoke regularly, you may be looking for something that’s a little more rare and has different terpenes and flavonoids than other stains. Whether you’re searching for quality weed to serve at an upcoming get-together or something new to try by yourself, we’ve got you covered!

We here at Cannasaver feature the best [medical & recreational] strain suppliers across the nation (within legalized states), with exceptional coupons and offers from the best dispensaries. We are your one-stop shop for all things cannabis and can help you find the best top-shelf strains on the market today. 

Weed strains come in four main categories, or shelves, if you will: 

In some dispensaries, however, top shelf and private reserve are usually put together, as both types are premium quality.

Top-shelf is a cannabis grade of the highest quality that has great potency, and it’s very easy to find. Most dispensaries have their featured top-shelf strains. It’s usually placed on the highest shelf of the store (hence the title), kind of like how alcohol is organized at bars.

Top shelf strains are cultivated either indoors or outdoors by experienced growers who know the conditions favorable for creating potent strains with great terpenes and flavonoids.

Factors Determining Top Shelf Weed

Several elements affect the growth of top shelf weed. These include:

Genes

Selective breeding of quality strains over long periods yields better hybrids of higher potency.

Soil

Nutrient-rich, healthy soil with an abundance of microbes produces top-shelf weeds.

Nutrients

Regularly providing weed with nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous through fertilizers at the right time produces buds of high quality.

Drying and Curing

Proper post-harvest handling is key to preserving trichomes and ensures the genetically superior flower smells, tastes, and smokes like a top-shelf variety.

Top-Shelf Strains You Should Try

Each dispensary will have a different variety of top shelf strains that they either perfected themselves or perhaps just carry classic strains. Here are some to try out, if you haven't (of course, options will vary based on dispensary):

Khalifa Khush

Khalifa Khush is a hybrid marijuana strain that was specifically bred for the rapper Wiz Khalifa. This is why it is also referred to as “KK,” “Wiz Khalifa,” or “Wiz Khalifa OG.”

This strain is said to descend from an unknown OG strain. It was previously unavailable to the public, but limited amounts have recently been made public through select partners.  

Khalifa Kush’s gives an active cerebral buzz ideal for morning and daytime use. It has a pine and sour lemon scent that is similar to that of OG Kush.

Pancakes

This is a hybrid strain bred by Seed Junkie Genetics and Cookies. It is named after its delicious aroma, which smells like warm pancakes. 

The strain has a buttered, sweet berry flavor profile and a batter-like aroma that reminds you of a fresh batch of pancakes. The high you experience from smoking Pancakes can be described as a relaxing head high. 

Pancake buds are short and bulky, with golden brown shades brightened by frosty trichomes. Patients needing medical marijuana use Pancakes to fight symptoms of chronic stress and anxiety.

Pink Certz

Pink Certz is a visual stunner that smells like hyper-flavorful pink candy mint. The strain combines The Menthol and Grape Gasoline to give you an instant mental vacation that helps get your head back in the game.

You can use it day or night, making it super versatile. Its flavor composition of mint, grape candy, and gas terps sets this strain up for boxes of cannabis trophies this year and the next.

Jealousy

Hey, Jealousy!

The Gin Blossoms knew what they were talking about – Jealousy combines two perfect versions of Gelato and Sherbert because that’s what the folks crave.

Jealousy offers everything you’d want from a JBeezy collection and is perfect for flexing on Instagram. Watch out for the evil eye, though, as Gelato haters are still gonna hate!

Strawberry Remedy #9

Exotic is all about taking risks and winning awards with new creations to heal the masses. It’s more than just GSC genetics folded back on each other like knotted bread.

Oregon’s Chalice Brands took first place in the Oregon Growers Club with Strawberry Remedy #9. This new strain is a rare 1:1 CBD: THC flower for that high-strung person in your life.

Trade that high-THC tachycardia with this Strawberry field x Dragon Desert Frost cross. Strawberry Remedy #9 has a refreshing strawberry smoothie taste that is perfect for a relaxing daytime yoga sesh free of anxiety.

Forbidden Mintz

Zkittelz Mintz 

After putting up with a tough day at work, loosen up with a rewarding after-work smoke courtesy of  Washington’s award-winning Three Rivers Cannabis (3RC).

These SinCity Seeds strain sports a creamy gas and sweet grapefruit finish. Zkittelz Mintz is a cross between Zkittlez and Animal Mints. It is the ideal strain to help get you through those short, bleak days. 

Gator Breath

This heady hybrid strain is a cross between a special Triangle Kush phenotype and Motorbreath. It has dark, chunky, and verdant buds that are sticky with trichomes.

Medical marijuana patients use this strain to help with insomnia and eye pressure. It draws its origin from the Jungle Boys. 

Kush Sorbet

How Much THC Are In Edibles?

Colorado State Regulations mandate that (recreational) edibles come packaged in no larger than 100 milligrams of THC doses with identifiable portions. The most common measurement is 10 mg in a bite. Most products will be portioned out or have a clear dosing schedule on the label. 

The exception is for tinctures and syrups which can run up to 1000 milligrams of THC in a bottle. These infused liquids will also have a measuring syringe so you can achieve the precise dosing you desire. Most single-serve drinks such as soda pops or lemonades are dosed at 10 milligrams of THC in a bottle.

What does it all mean though? What is the best bang for your buck?

The Most Cost-Effective Type of Edibles

Tinctures and syrups are the most potent and cost-effective way to ingest THC.

By volume, strength, and price, syrup, or tincture will be the strongest type of edible you can get! These are liquids infused with THC and CBD and have the highest concentrations. The flavors are pretty good and usually resemble a sweet concoction to help this medicine go down smoothly. The activation times range from 10 minutes to 30 minutes and the doses are measured by syringe or capful. 

You can find up to 1000 mg containers from between $45 to $70 dollars. A 100 mg syrup can be found for as low as $15!

Drinks contain the least THC with about 10 mg in a bottle but are convenient and great for lighter social flights. 

Typical Prices for Other Edibles

For the pan-baked experience, there is a plethora of brownies, cookies, bars, chocolates, and stroopwafels which are doled out in 100 mg containers are the tastiest and most versatile option. These baked goods go from $6 for a bar of single-serving chocolate to an average price of $22 for a full 100 mg package of multiple cookies or chocolates. These offerings have a sufficient amount of THC in the whole package to remind you of your aunt’s space cake, but ultimately you can decide how many bites until your preferred high. 

This article starts off with the lightest infusions and saves the heaviest hitters for last.

Your taste buds will dance when a Cannabis-Infused Cola splashes over your tongue. There are many flavors to choose from such as classic, orange kush, root beer, blue razz, and purple passion. These drinks are at the higher end of the scale as far as milligrams per dollar but are great for first-timers and social buzzes. These drinks cost around $8-$10. Drinks are usually portioned at 10 mg of THC content, which is the lower end of the spectrum. You can also find bagged teas infused with cannabis. There are also strictly CBD drinks with no psychoactive effect. Those are a little cheaper. Thursdays are a good day to quench your thirst and coupons range from 10% to 25% off.

Connoisseur Strains

Connoisseur Strains

Posted by CANNASaver on Monday, 15 August 2022 in Canna Blog

As cannabis becomes more and more accepted and popular, those who consume it (that’s us!) look to more than just a quick high with their weed. Yes, we’re “cannasseurs” if you will – the stoneyest (just roll with it) of stoners that look for things like terpenes, flavonoids, effects, and specific strains for specific pains (and other needs). In fact, several studies have linked cannabis to creativity amongst other things, and these are the reasons why it is so popular with us. 

Here are some other reasons why we look for certain strains.

close up of connoisseur strain

What “Cannasseurs” Look for in Strains

There are many reasons we turn to the wonderful weed, other than just getting stoned. Yes, we cringe when we hear people say, “Who cares what strain it is? It gets you high, doesn’t it?” or, “Oh, we just mix them all together.” EGADS!

Don’t they know that weed has so many other properties? If you’re looking for connoisseur strains, you’re looking for healing properties, anxiety-reducing properties, and much more. Here are some typical reasons us “cannasseurs” are looking for specific strains – either to promote, help with, or relieve certain issues:

Here’s a look at our top-ten best connoisseur strains:

Strains For Creative Focus

Blue Dream 

This strain is excellent for easing open the gates of divergent and creative thoughts. It creates euphoric experiences that often inspire the “hit the blunt” meme trend.

Blue Dream is Sativa dominant and is known for its light yet funky tropical aroma. It is a cross between Haze and Blueberry Strains. 

The strain has a fun, uplifting, and focus-inspiring effect that calms the flurrying thoughts in your mind.

Island Sweet Skunk

Island sweet skunk or Sweet Island Skunk is a Sativa dominant hybrid that greatly induces creative blood flow. Its genes are derived from Skunk, Haze, Grapefruit, and Northern Lights. 

The creative focus of this strain manifests through humorful observations and thoughts. These are the types of thoughts you’re not quite sure why they came to you, but they did, and they’re amusing. Expect to conjure even the most out-of-nowhere ideas with this strain.

Jack Herer

This strain has a pungent pine and citrus aroma that is as focused as it is distracting. Its sharp undertones promote awareness and alertness.

The Jack Herer strain is named after the famous activist Jack Herer. He is known for writing “The Emperor Has No Clothes,”; a treatise on cannabis and its legal standing.

The strain, like its namesake, evokes thoughts and considerations both actionable and poignant. Jack Herer owes its genes to the Northern lights, Shiva Skunk and Haze Strains.

Space Queen

Space Queen is a near-perfect 50:50 hybrid consisting of Cinderella 99 and Romulan strains. The hybrid pairs the calming body high of indica strains with the focus associated with energizing Sativa strains. 

After consumption, expect a euphoric body high that begs AND answers several questions, and the only person that can decide whether the answers are correct is only you. Welcome to space, Queen.

Strains For Creative Curiosity

Jillybean 

Jillybean is an uplifting Sativa dominant strain that can help get you through periods of low motivation or writer’s block. This hybrid strain is perfect for relieving stress and lifting bummer moods, leaving you free to explore your headspace.

New information from the news, books or any other source of information you trust is also part of the experience, allowing creativity and curiosity to gain a tempered edge through our thoughts and behaviors.

AK-47

The strain inspires rapid action accessible to all who wield it. AK-47 keeps the brain active and continuously inspires creativity and curiosity. 

With its primary aromas, such as diesel and citrus, this strain embodies alertness. AK-47 is a hybrid blended from landrace strains, including Thai, Mexican, Afghani, and Colombian varieties.

Cinderella 99

Also known as Cindy 99, this hybrid cannabis strain embodies euphoric effects and a rush of curious and humorful inspiration. Cinderella 99 is perfect for daytime consumers who are looking for creativity bootstrapped by curiosity. 

The strain inspires thoughts and the focus to dive into them.  Cindy 99 gets its genes from  Princess, Cinderella 88, and Skunk strains.

Strains For Creative Work

XJ-13

XJ-13 is a cross between indica-dominant G-13 and Sativa-dominant Jack Herer. It delivers potent experiences and pungent aromas. This strain is great for increasing alertness and drive.

It has notes of refreshing mint with earth and citrus undertones. The high light body and energy boost XJ-13 delivers help increase the momentum behind our creative thoughts, free of stress.

Purple Haze

Purple Haze was given this name to capture its color before anything else. Purple often has cultural ties to passion, with the depth of its color being viewed as captivating and inspiring.

It is a potent blend of Haze and Thai strains that bring forth the creativity of psychedelic and the rhythm of 1960s rock and roll, launching consumers into their personal summer of love.

Purple Haze lends positive energy to the mind, knocking down bad moods and unlocking the highest potential of your senses.

Tangie

This hybrid blend of California Orange and Skunk cannabis blends is perfect for inspiring an uplifting euphoric experience. The strain possesses a funky citrus aroma that incites creativity and captures attention.

Tangie is perfect for drumming up creative energy brought about by meditative practices and pushed by the passion and limits we think we have.

Chemdog

Chemdog is a potent hybrid reserved for more seasoned consumers who are looking to boost their creativity significantly. The high it induces can be dizzying at first, but once it settles, you get a burst of creative energy that jars the senses and opens the mind to new thoughts.

Homemade Reese's Twinkies from Cousin D

Posted by CANNASaver on Thursday, 11 August 2022 in Edibles

Marijuana Edibles

There may be no better summer fair food than a homemade Twinkie of sorts, and today we're making them chocolate with marshmallow peanutbutter filling. Yes, they are precisely as addictive as they appear. 

Ingredients
The Cake 
6 eggs 
2 cups of flour 
3 tbsp (heaping) cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
Unflavored gelatin pack (Knox)
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil (infused)
1 tbsp baking powder
Vanilla (Good splash)
1 cup water
1 bag chocolate chips

The Filling
10oz bag of marshmallows 
1/2 cup corn syrup 
1 cup peanut butter

The Drizzle
1 bag white chocolate chips 
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup milk

Directions
You’ll need two bowls. In the first, mix all of the dry ingredients. Gently stir in the oil and water until just combined. In the second bowl, beat the whole eggs until they look like they’ve tripled in volume. 

Preheat your oven to 325 at this point. Prep your pans (any type of Twinkie pan out there) -- depending on the type, you may or may not need some oil to prevent sticking. 

Gently fold your egg fluff into the flour mix in quarter amounts.  As soon as you see no streaks of color, you are done. Pour the batter about ¾ full in each. Bake for 30 minutes, rotate, and bake for another 30 minutes (1 hour total). Cool upside down until completely cool. Do not rush that part and yes they may still be difficult to release. These are sponge cakes! Be patient and careful; when cooled, you may have to trim what becomes the bottom of the cake to be flat. Keep those scraps (they are deliciously strong).

Using a toothpick (or similar), hollow out three holes on each before you pipe in the filling--just makes it easier. Melt the marshmallows, corn syrup and peanut butter in a pan until it becomes a thick goo. Fill piping bag with a filling tip. Put a small push of goo into each hole. Flip and freeze (makes it easier to dip and sets quicker). When ready, melt the bag of regular chocolate chips, and dip each upside-down in molten chocolate. 

Next, the drizzle. Melt the white chocolate, milk and peanut butter; It should be pretty smooth and silky. Decorate the tops as you see fit -- lattice or your choice of design.   

You're done! Serve and enjoy. It doesn’t matter the dosage you choose -- these little snack cakes will disappear fast!

Cannabutter Slow Cooker 24 Hrs

Cannabutter Slow Cooker 24 Hrs

Posted by CANNASaver on Friday, 05 August 2022 in Canna Blog

It’s not a crock if you want to learn how to make cannabutter with your pot. Why not? Some infused butter can instantly turn your favorite foods into excellent edibles.

Weed food is a wonderful way to enjoy cannabis. While smoking, vaping, and dabbing provide faster results, eating ganja lasts longer. And if you don’t smoke, it’s an alternative way to get high.

How hard is it to make a batch of stoner spread? Not very – in fact, we’ll give you the recipe. Not sure of the supplies needed? We’ll make sure you know what to get.

We will cover decarbing your weed. A necessary step to activate the leaf so that eating it gets you buzzed.

Significantly, we’re going to focus on using a slow cooker to make cannabutter. It’s one of the best ways to cook yourself up some bud butter. Though, you can also use a coffee maker.

Finally, we’ll show you how to get good deals on all the ingredients you will need. Sound good? Let’s get into it.

cannabis decarboxlytation

Decarbing Cannabis

As noted, if you munch some raw cannabis, it won’t do much for you. That’s because it must be decarbed. That means being heated for a period of time. 

THC and CBD in fresh plants are actually THCA and CBDA. They cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier to activate your cannabinoid receptors. Those receptors are how your body utilizes cannabinoids.

Cellular receptors are key to the endocannabinoid system. The ECS regulates important body functions like pain, immunity, appetite, sleep, and mood. Body cells have CB1 and CB2 ports that cannabinoids either hook onto or block.

Decarboxylation changes the chemical structure of cannabinoids. Then they can be absorbed by your body.

To decarb, raw plant matter is spread out on a cookie sheet. Then your oven is heated to 200-245°F. Buds are then baked at 220°F for about 25-40 minutes, depending on temperature. It is now ready for consumption.

Many cannabutter recipes recommend using a conventional convection oven to heat ganja first. But you can also decarb in a crockpot prior to adding the butter.

You would place the weed you want to use in a Mason jar. Then add water to the ceramic pot until it’s half full. Place the jar inside and cover. Set the device on high and let simmer for 4 hours.

Okay, once your flower is ready, what else do you need?

slow cooker cannabutter

Ingredients Needed for Slow Cooker Cannabutter 

It's time to gather supplies.

1) For ingredients, you will want:

• An ounce of cannabis – decarbed. Think about the effects you want. If you want a bedtime snack, then select an indica. If you want something to boost you through the day, then choose a sativa. Or for balanced benefits, a hybrid strain may be best.

• A pound of salted or unsalted butter – your choice. Some people restrict sodium for lowering blood pressure. It will work with either kind of butter.

• And you will want a cup of water. Your options are bottled distilled water or plain tap water. Again, your option. Either will do.

2) Now, what about equipment?

• Obviously, you’re gonna need a crock pot or multifunction cooker.

• And you’ll need a trusty herb grinder to mulch up your marijuana. You want your cannabis chopped. That way water can surround the pieces and percolate off those all-important cannabinoids.

• Find yourself one of those metal kitchen strainers or a colander bowl.

• In the bowl, you want some cheesecloth or cloth fabric. This will further filter out particulates when pouring weedy water into the strainer. Coffee filters or pantyhose also work well for this.

• Lastly, you’ll want a plastic tub or glass jar to store your magic margarine in.

So, once you have everything you need, what’s the process that results in pot spread?

How To Make Cannabutter In a Slow Cooker

If you’ve ever cooked anything by following a recipe, you know that it’s a step-by-step procedure. We’ll walk you through the routine.

  1. It starts with grinding up that ganja into fine particles.
  2. Next is the decarbing that we talked about previously. Whether you use an oven or a slow cooker, this is a key point of the process.
  3. Once your weed is ready, it goes into your crockpot with the cup of water. Also, add the pound of butter.
  4. Dial your slow cooker to low heat and place the cover. This is where patience is important. You’re going to let it cook for between 12 and 24 hours.
  5. Why up to a full day of heatings? To get out all the good stuff. The longer you cook it, the stronger the final product will be. Make sense? You don’t necessarily need to stir the marinating marijuana mix, but you can if you want.
  6. Hold your strainer over whatever container you have chosen. The colander should be lined with the cheesecloth or fabric. You will then pour the liquid from the crockpot through it, trapping the plant matter. Make sure to press all of the liquid from your fabric. When you’re sure you’ve got it all, ball up the cheesecloth with the squeezed-out plant material. Pitch everything but the butter itself.
  7. Allow the butter to cool and then refrigerate.

Now, you can use the cannabutter in any recipe that you’d use regular butter in. Or just eat it plain. It’s your life, you be you.

Sure, you’ve got your recipe, but before you go let’s see how you can save on the special ingredient – weed.

Sugar THC

Sugar THC

Posted by CANNASaver on Friday, 29 July 2022 in Canna Blog

Wax, flower, vapes, and topicals, oh my! There are so many ways to consume THC, and even within each category there are so many subcategories. One of those subcategories is sugar wax. Here, we'll explain what that is and why it's a popular choice when going to your nearest dispensary.

sugar wax THC

What is Sugar Wax?

Sugar Wax, or Sugar THC is a form of cannabis concentrate. The name comes from its consistency; like wet sugar, it's usually fully dissolved. Sugar wax is one of the purest marijuana products with a very high THC level ranging between 60 and 90%.

With the high THC content, sugar wax is often used for overcoming high tolerances and provides the high cannabis consumers want.

What is Dabbing?

Dabbing or vaporizing is the most popular mode of smoking sugar wax. You can use a coil pen or e-nail, where you drop your concentrate into. You can also use a heated dab rig to drop your concentrated sugar wax THC for the most powerful and potent effect.

Now, as dabbing is getting extremely popular, the manufacturers are continuing to develop different types of dabs, and the many varieties of concentrates include the following:

  • Shatter
  • Rosin
  • Live Resin
  • Ice Wax
  • Ear wax
  • Butter

Generally, a dab is just a dab and this means a concentrated marijuana extract. The many different types of concentrates or dabs are actually extremely similar and the differences are superficial for the most part.

Different classifications of the concentrates are based on how the concentrate has been extracted and the consistency and texture of the end product.

Sugar wax on the other hand is a more solid way of extracting THC into concentrates. Just like shatter, sugar wax is a refined concentrate that can be used through vacuuming or heat purging. This gives it a more solid or ‘sugary’ texture.

The process also allows the THC to crystalize while keeping the terpene intact. THC extraction into sugar wax concentrate is similar to how sugar is extracted from sugarcane, which is what gives it its resemblance and name.

sugar dab

How is Sugar Wax Made?

Truthfully speaking, sugar wax has the ability to develop naturally with time, as the lipids within the wax start breaking down and separating from the cannabinoids. This causes the wax to start crystallizing. 

Sugar wax can also result from condensation or other contaminants that get mixed with the wax. The wax can also get overly agitated during its production.

Most dabers prefer the texture and flavor of sugar wax that’s made and produced by manufacturers. What you are seeing in stores as sugar wax is actually the accidental variety that results from a mistake during manufacture or an aged product.

The quality of the sugar wax you buy depends on the potency of the marijuana from which it was made, and not entirely on how it was made, even though a fresh wax is the best and most preferred option.

How is Sugar Wax Different From Other Concentrates?

Sugar wax is a concentrate of Marijuana and it has the full flavor to go with it. It is however slightly grainy in texture and it replicates the feel and look of sugar. It is also cube-like in shape and made of tiny glistening crystals.

Sugar wax is a  little less messy than other concentrates, in that it is a little thick and not sticky. 

Most people do prefer sugar wax due to its rich and complex flavor. Others say that the dabs made of sugar wax are the best and easy to work with compared to other concentrates when it comes to a dab tool.

You also do not need too much sugar wax THC to dab with, which means you can save a lot of concentrate when dabbing with sugar wax.

How Is Sugar Wax Smoked?

Sugar wax concentrate is either smoked through vaporizing or dabbing. You can also use it as a topper for a bong or flower bowl.

Dab Syringe

Dab Syringe

Posted by CANNASaver on Thursday, 28 July 2022 in Canna Blog

People who consume THC understand that the right and accurate dosage is vital for predictability and consistency. However, sometimes you can build up a tolerance, so you're looking for something a littlle stronger to get you to where you need to be.

Enter: the dab syringe. 

We all know that wax concentrates are stronger and more efficient, but the syringe is a different level.

What is Dabbing?

Dabbing is a consumption method that involves the use of a dab rig to smoke or inhale cannabis extracts. 

The nail is usually heated, and then a tiny amount of the concentrate is applied to the surface. The heat vaporizes it, and the smoke travels down the stem onto the base and up through the mouthpiece and into your lungs. The results usually are highly potent, effective and very fast.

Dabbing Concentrates

Dabbing involves concentrates, including potent cannabis products that contain between 50 and 90% THC. Sometimes it gets as high as 99% THC. Most manufacturers will make them using various methods, including supercritical CO2 and Hydrocarbon gasses.

These different methods usually result in different consistencies that can either be too runny or too brittle. In most cases, people will use a dab tool to apply a small concentrated amount, while others will use a dab syringe.

What is A Dab Syringe?

A dab syringe is a device used to measure the exact and precise dosing each time. It is also known as an applicator and looks like a syringe which you can use to give liquid medication. It is essentially a tool that delivers measured dab or concentrate.

Most dab syringes come pre-filled, which means you can dispense the amount you would wish to use.

What you do is push the "plunger" in order to apply the amount you want right on the nail of the dab rig – or right into your mouth, since it's already activated THC!!

A dab syringe, or distillate syringe, is a concentrate where all of the plant compounds except THC or CBD are removed. It is found in its pure form before terpenes are added. The distillate lacks aroma and flavor.

Distillate is the main and primary ingredient in edibles, vape cartridges, topicals, tinctures, and many other cannabis products that are commercially produced. Patients looking for a more versatile product with multiple users will find distillate to be a more cost-effective and undervalued option.

Distillate is usually sold in a syringe and dosed through a plunger. It is preactivated, which means that it is decarboxylated and has a psychoactive effect when taken orally. It can, however, still be inhaled or taken topically.

What Does a Dab Syringe Look Like?

Distillate looks like a viscous liquid. It is thick and translucent and amber in color. This color tone can, however, change depending on the process of extraction used and any added ingredients. 

A good example would be the addition of terpenes that are usually destroyed during the distillation process and need to be added back after the fact. Most companies can get terpenes from cannabis and many other plants.

When the distillate is made of cannabis-driven terpenes, it tends to have a dark amber color, although it is not as dark as RSO oil. The distillate that has been made with food-grade terpenes has a yellow or light amber tone.

How Do You Use Distillate?

Distillate is exceptionally versatile, which makes it a popular choice for most medical patients. There are numerous ways of administering it, and finding the best one for you can be the best way of achieving the relief you seek from a specific symptom. However, the main modes of use include:

Edible Oral Dosing

Oral dosing helps alleviate symptoms of pain, mood swings and insomnia. Most packaging for distillate recommends the intake of a small rice-shaped drop of distillate, which can range between 25 and 50mg, which is higher than the standard recommended dosage of between 5 and 10 mg for oral THC.

It is, however, very easy to take more than recommended, resulting in intense psychoactive effects. Be sure to find out the correct dosage at all times.

Now, although distillate is pre-activated, there are some specific people, e.g., those suffering from digestive issues, who may find it less beneficial to dose orally. For these patients, it is better to consume the doses after consuming a snack or a fatty meal. 

Dab Syringe Applications

Distillate can be used topically, although most people usually prefer mixing it with other lotions and oils to make it work better. This method can work great for people suffering from localized pain.

Using the distillate topically is excellent as it will not create any psychoactive effects that are markedly different from dosing through any other methods. 

When you create your own topicals, you can control the potency of the mixture, which allows for stronger products than what is sold by most dispensaries. Making your own also saves you money compared to store-bought topicals.

Smoking Distillate

Yes, you can smoke distillate. This is the primary ingredient for vape oil that’s usually blended with terpenes to mimic the strain effects. Now, just like the DIY topicals and edibles discussed above, you can also fill up your own vape cartridges using a distillate.

The benefit of inhaling is that it offers a quick onset and has the fastest delivery method for a patient. You can utilize this process when dosing, as the distillate is high in concentration. The inhaled effects feel more intense when consumed than a similar amount of vapor from smoking using flowers.

What Are the Drawbacks of Using Distillate?

Well, as with everything, there are some drawbacks to the dab syringe. First of all, it is a highly refined product of cannabis that’s as far from the whole plant as possible. This plant is processed down to its primary compound.

Second, the effects are psychoactive, they can feel intense due to the high concentration of THC, and most patients will notice that the overall experience of the distillate feels quite different.

However, despite these drawbacks, distillate is still an extremely affordable and effective option for most people, especially when it's used in conjunction with other whole-plant medicines.

Cheap Concentrates

Posted by CANNASaver on Monday, 18 July 2022 in Canna Blog

Lately, there’s been a lot of cannabis culture focus on concentrates. After all, they offer a lot of bang per bong hit. Or a few pulls on your vape pen will get you there - or maybe a drop or two of isolate.

But your personal finances may have you thinking hard about how much wax you can afford. You may worry that your vape cart collection is running dry. Cheap concentrates can help keep you dabbing, even when money is tight. 

At first glance, concentrated weed may seem costly. Compared to flower or edibles, it may look like you’re paying a lot for a little bit of crumble or shatter. But are you comparing apples to apples?

THC levels vary from one kind of cannabis to another. Different strains may have more or less. The strength of edibles can vary depending on the amount of marijuana in them. And, obviously, concentrates imply by their name that they have a lot of cannabinoid kick.

So, how do you know if you’re getting a good deal when spending some green for wax or oil? And what’s the best bet for maximum buzz? Which costs the least?

We’re going to examine extra-strength cannabis closely. We’ll answer the above questions. Then we will leave you with some ways to find great dab deals.

What Different Kinds of Concentrates are There?

The wide variety of waxy weed can be confusing. Generally, they look different from each other. But which is which, and why are they called what they are?

Here is a quick primer on these powerful cannabis solids and liquids.

Shatter is a flat, brittle substance. It tends to be golden yellow in color. It’s easy to dab with because it easily breaks into small, manageable pieces. This makes it popular.

Budder is an amber, soft whipped wax. Because it’s like the spreadable dairy product used in dining, it’s sometimes called butter. It, too, is easy to use, which dabbers like.

Then we have crumble. It is crumbly, hence the name.  The reddish-brown solid has a soft, particulate consistency that makes it very manageable. 

There are pressed waxes like hash or rosin. They vary somewhat in shading from light to dark. Hash is brittle, much like shatter, whereas rosin can be wet and sticky. The latter is gooier to work with but sticks to dab nails nicely.

Resin is a brownish sap. Like rosin, it adheres nicely. 

Resin and rosin both have ‘live’ varieties made from uncured cannabis. Thus, they have more terpenes than dried and cured cannabis products. This increases their potency. 

Vape carts are filled with liquid the color of maple syrup. It only takes a few pulls from a vaporizer to get most people feeling groovy.

Tinctures and isolates tend to be clear. A drop or two under your tongue gives you some sublime stoning.

So, now that you know what’s what, which ones hit the hardest?

How Strong Are Various Concentrates?

When it comes to pure power, is there a variety that looms larger than others?

If you just measure THC alone, all the waxes we listed run up over 90% THC. Same thing with vapes and oil drops. So, they are all pretty stout. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they are all the same. 

Again, terpenes can boost the effects of these solids, so that is a consideration. And, as we noted, there are weed waxes that have more of these supercharging substances.

Live rosin and live resin, using fresher flower, tend to preserve more terpenes. Thus, some consider them stronger and better for dabbing. But they are a bit more complicated to produce and that adds increased cost to the consumer.

Trying some live wax for yourself could help you decide if they are worth the extra money. Drag off a friend’s vape if you want to see if buying one is for you.

Otherwise, 90% THC is pretty powerful. So, any of the other forms will still get you plenty high.

If cost is a concern, then which one should you go with? Is there a less pricy option?

What’s the Least Expensive Concentrated Cannabis?

How can you get your hands on some cheaper concentrates? Well, you could buy some buds and make your own. Sometimes, though, there are costs for specialized equipment. And it is a lot of work.

Since live resin and live rosin are more expensive, you might want to avoid those if funds are tight.

But are there price differences between the others? Not appreciably. 

Concentrates are sold by the gram. Less popular strains or varieties could run $25-40 per gram. Middle-tier toking may range from $50-60. And the top shelf stuff can cost from $70 to over a hundred. 

I gram cartridges can be $45 to $100 apiece, depending on the kind. Gram isolate bottles price out around $30-60. Some do go as high as $100.

Inflation and other economic factors will change the above price points. Consider them approximations. 

Another influence can be the kind of weed your dabs are made from. There are high, medium, and low-end strains of marijuana flower. The more premium the source pot plants, the higher cost the concentrate could have. 

Popularity sometimes plays a part. If your provisioning center can charge you more for a fast-selling variety of wax, they may. Same thing if the source strain is a big seller.

Geography also affects ganja prices. Whether it’s leaf, oils, or waxes, where you live can affect what weed costs. West Coast rates may be higher than those in the Midwest.

So, you understand how pricing works. Now does that mean that bottom-shelf stuff is the only way to get cheap concentrates?

Not at all! Knowing how to find fabulous discounts also saves you money. That’s where Cannasaver comes in!
