Marijuana Dispensary offers Pokemon Go! Discounts in Denver

With Pokemon Go! one of the most popular phone apps of all time, restaurants, coffee shops, zoos, and now even marijuana dispensaries are getting in on the action, offering Pokemon Go discounts in Denver and other cities across the country as a way to help attract the droves of people young and old who are on the hunt for Pokemon. Life Flower Dispensary, a marijuana store in the Glendale area of Denver Colorado, is offering a  Pokemon Go! discount that gives players 5% off purchases of marijuana products including joints, buds, wax, shatter, edibles, pipes, bongs, dab rigs, and more. Life Flower Dispensary is the only marijuana dispensary in Denver selling to both recreational and medical customers that stays open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to midnight, with most Denver dispensaries closing several hours earlier. There's a small catch to getting the Pokemon Go deal, though, so be sure to read the details of the offer on the printable marijuana coupon from CannaSaver, a popular marijuana couponing site based in Colorado. You'll need to actually show the budtenders your Pokemon Go! profile on the app, and they'll check your profile to see if you make the cut—only Pokemon Go trainers that are level 5 or above will get the discount!

In  Pokemon Go! your trainer level increases when you gain more experience points. Experience points are earned as you catch Pokemon, hatch Pokemon eggs, collect items from Pokestops, evolve Pokemon, and win at Pokemon gyms. According to Serebii, a website dedicated to all things Pokemon, you'll need to amass 10,000 experience points before you'll reach level 5. That's not really too hard to do. The Pokemon Go app is so addictive that most players reach level 5 within the first few days of playing the game.

Pokemon Go! is a free phone app for IOS and Android devices that represents a collaboration between Nintendo, the Pokemon Company, and Niantic.  According to an article in Quartz, the app is bringing in over a million dollars daily in sales and Niantic's revenue for this year is expected to be five times the projected amount. The main action in the game is catching pokemon and battling pokemon, but the real fun is in the game's virtual reality appeal. If your phone has the gyroscope feature, pokemon will appear on your phone screen over a video backdrop of whatever is in front of you, meaning you might very well see a Bulbasaur sitting on top of your boss's head, or spot a Charizard chilling at the local post office. People of all ages are enjoying the game, from the kids and younger adults who grew up with Pokemon, to older generations that are just now discovering the Pokemon universe. The app urges players to get out and explore the world, bringing more people to parks, art districts, museums, libraries, bookstores, restaurants, and just about everywhere!

Weed stores like Life Flower Dispensary aren't the only businesses in Denver that are utilizing Pokemon Go discounts and special events to attract more customers. The Denver Zoo andElitch Gardens amusement park both offered discounts to Pokemon Go players, and there's a massive Pokemon Go bar crawl event planned for August 20 in Denver which is expected to attract thousands of visitors to participating businesses. There are over 2000 people signed up to attend on the Pokemon Go bar crawl Denver Facebook page, with over 9000 more potential guests who are interested in the event.

With the popularity of both  Pokemon Go and marijuana in Colorado, more and more dispensaries  might decide to take a cue from Life Flower and follow suit. Who knows? Maybe you'll catch a Snorlax snoozing amidst the jars of beautiful green buds, or spot a Koffing hiding out with the handblown glass pipes and bongs! And if you happen to get a Munchlax, just take it as a sign to eat some tacos and celebrate the joys of a world where weed stores are a reality and being a Pokemon Trainer out on an adventure catching Pokemon is a livable dream.

Og Kush Strain Info

Posted by CANNASaver on Saturday, 28 January 2017 in Canna Blog

OG Kush Genetics History and Strain Review

OG Kush is a very popular marijuana strain that has played a role in the creation of countless other hybrid strains that modern stoners enjoy. The genetic history and origins of OG Kush aren't entirely certain, but parts of the various origin stories seem to have a ring of truth. There is also much that can be ascertained about OG Kush through scientific analysis in the laboratory, and even more that can be learned through direct experience of its effects on the mind and body. Here's what we know about the strain genetics, origins, and effects of OG Kush.

OG Kush Strain Origins

While there are several different variations of the legend, many of the stories surrounding the origins of the OG Kush strain involve a seed found in a bag of otherwise seedless buds obtained at a Grateful Dead show sometime in the 1990s. Some say that seed was grown into Chemdog, which was at some point crossed with an unknown Kush (possibly a Lemon Thai Kush/Pakistani Kush hybrid to produce the OG Kush strain. Most accounts of the history of OG Kush say that the strain first emerged in California.

Chemical makeup of OG Kush

Laboratory analysis of OG Kush has identified the primary terpenes in OG Kush to be myrcene and limonene, with caryophyllene and pinene also predominant. The myrcene gives OG Kush the heavy, stony qualities of an indica while the pinene and limonene provide a joyful, energetic type of buzz. The caryophyllene is reputed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant properties.

OG Kush Strain Review

OG Kush is a hybrid strain that has the powerful, long-lasting effects of an indica as well as some of the finer nuances of a sativa. The buds are a vivid lime green accented with fiery orange hairs and sparkling crystals. OG Kush has a lemony yet earthy scent, and the buds are dense and sticky. It has a very robust and complex flavor when smoked, woody yet citrusy. The high is very satisfying, deeply relaxing while at the same time bringing on a cheerful mood that encourages fun and adventure.

Where to Buy OG Kush in Denver

You can buy OG Kush at many Denver dispensaries. The OG Kush strain can be purchased at recreational dispensaries as well as at medical marijuana dispensaries, so whether or not you have a med card you’ll be able to buy OG Kush in Denver. The Joint by Cannabis, DEN-REC, and DANK dispensary are among the dispensaries where you can often find OG Kush. You can get coupons for these and other dispensaries in Denver and many more cities on CannaSaver. CannaSaver has free printable coupons for weed and other dispensary deals in your area, and you can also find contact information for dispensaries in Denver, LA dispensaries, San Diego dispensaries, and other popular marijuana friendly cities. If you're looking for a particular strain and you won't be satisfied with a substitute, it's a good idea to call ahead to make sure the strain you are after is in stock. Popular strains like OG Kush sell out the fastest, so consider stocking up when you find it.

Denver Chocolate: Marijuana Chocolates and Best Dispensaries in Denver for Edibles 

In Denver chocolate comes not only in varieties such as specialty chocolate, gourmet artisan chocolate, milk, dark, and white, but also it can come spiked with a heavy dose of THC. Marijuana chocolates are a type of edible marijuana product that locals and out-of-state Colorado travelers alike can buy at many Denver recreational dispensaries. As long as you're over 21 and you have a valid photo id card, you can walk right in any of the best dispensaries in Denver for edibles and come out with a nice sampling of delicious marijuana chocolates and other tasty treats.

If you're traveling to Denver from out-of-state, just be sure to not overdo it. It's easy to eat a whole chocolate bar if it's your normal, everyday chocolate, but if it's marijuana chocolate, eating more than the recommended dose (which is typically just a small square) will likely knock you out and you may very well sleep through the rest of your Denver marijuana tour. Marijuana tourism in Denver offers an abundance of activities and sightseeing opportunities that you won't want to miss, so go moderate on the marijuana chocolates and other edibles. A little goes a long way, and any more than that can make you groggy, tired, or even sick.

You can find marijuana chocolates and other edibles at most Denver dispensaries, but not all brands and dispensaries are created equal. Here is a list of some of the best marijuana chocolates Denver chocolate lovers and edibles enthusiasts know and trust, along with the best dispensaries in Denver for edibles. If you're traveling to Denver for the marijuana tourism, these marijuana chocolates and recreational dispensaries are a must-try.

Marijuana Chocolates in Denver

Chocolate lovers taking a marijuana tour of Denver should be sure to sample some of the wonderful varieties of cannabis-infused chocolates available at many recreational dispensaries in Denver. Blue Kudu makes marijuana chocolate called the Coffee Crunch that's absolutely scrumptious. It's made with dark chocolate and coffee beans and each bar is infused with 40 or 80 mg of THC. Other marijuana chocolates they offer include toffee almonds, cookies and cream, cherry almonds, and The Original—an orange flavored marijuana chocolate bar infused with 80 mg of THC. You can pick up a Blue Kudu bar at Life Flower dispensary, one of the best dispensaries in Denver for edibles.

Another option for a hungry Denver tourist seeking a buzz is the Crispy Kraken made by Dixie. These chocolate bars are made with 34% premium cacao milk chocolate giving them a smooth and creamy texture and a balanced, not-too-sweet flavor. A layer of crispy rice provides a nice crunch, while the infusion of THC brings a moderate, feel-good high that won't knock you out as long as you don't overdo it. Another edible marijuana chocolate to try in the Dixie line that's gotten great reviews is the Chocolate Cherry Pretzel Bar. Salty, sweet, and slightly tart, this marijuana edible packs in 10 mg of THC per serving. Dixie products are available at the many Livwell dispensaries in Denver.

Mountain Medicine also makes some of the best marijuana chocolate and edibles in Denver. Their Magnificent Sea Salted Dark Chocolate Bite is made with dark Belgian chocolate, cannabis oil, and a hint of sea salt for the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and stoney. If coconut is your thing, try the Incredible Chocolate Coconut Bite, crafted with toasted coconut, coconut oil, and cannabis oil blended into a rich Belgian dark chocolate base. Each package contains eight servings, and each serving delivers 10 mg of THC.  MMJ America downtown and Livwell Broadway are two of the best dispensaries in denver for edibles and they both carry a large selection of marijuana chocolates made by Mountain Medicine.

Blue Dream is the Best!

Posted by CANNASaver on Monday, 16 January 2017 in Canna Blog

Blue Dream Strain Review, Genetics, and Origins

With so many different varieties of marijuana available, those strains that stand out and become widely known must really be something special--or at least, especially prominent. One such strain that has maintained its popularity for many years now is Blue Dream, a strain with genetics and origins that don’t seem too wildly different from other modern cannabis strains, but that has garnered thousands of rave reviews nonetheless. Part of the popularity of Blue Dream is due to the fact that this strain provides a well-balanced, all-around good high.

Blue Dream Strain Genetics

Blue Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid that brings about 20% indica together with 80% sativa genetics. The strain results from the pairing of a sativa Haze, and Blueberry, which is an indica. Blue Dream tests at about 17-18% THC on average. If you want to grow Blue Dream, you’ll need to get a clone or a cutting, as you can’t cultivate it from seeds. Luckily, finding Blue Dream clones is no problem, as they are readily available in cities like Denver or Los Angeles, and the cost is typically very reasonable, often as low as $5 to $10 per clone.

Strain Origins - Where was Blue Dream First Grown?

If you want to know the origins and history of Blue Dream, just look west to the coast. Like so many other top weed strains, Blue Dream first emerged in the golden state of California, in the Santa Cruz area medical marijuana scene well over a decade ago. It became a big hit with medical marijuana patients who benefit from the pain-relieving, muscle-relaxing, anxiety-reducing effects of this strain.

Where to Buy Blue Dream in Denver

Blue Dream is available at many dispensaries in Denver. Some of the more popular dispensaries that have it are Medicine Man Aurora, Livwell Stapleton, and The Joint by Cannabis Dispensary.

Blue Dream Strain Review - Is it really that good?

While Blue Dream isn’t the most potent strain, it’s a very enjoyable and lasting high. The sativa qualities give you a positive, relaxed, and light feeling, while the genetic heritage of the Blueberry contributes a delicious smell and flavor that truly is very reminiscent of blueberries.  The flavor, the smell, the bluish color of the bud itself--it’s hard to beat Blue Dream for a good, enjoyable high with quality you can count on.

One thing that’s hugely different about today’s modern cannabis culture compared to what it was like a decade or two ago is the vast array of marijuana strains that are now available. With countless growing operations large and small, and so many vying to produce the latest, greatest bud, there is pretty much a constant flow of marijuana strains that keep getting better and better. The history of cannabis cultivation is changing before our eyes. Whether you’re a grower or a stoner, this is our collective marijuana heritage. Whether it’s Blue Dream, Girl Scout Cookies, Sour Diesel, or Bubba Kush, learning about the history, genetics and origins of different marijuana strains can give you a greater appreciation for that wonderful, wonderful herb.

Best Concentrates in Colorado

Posted by CANNASaver on Wednesday, 27 January 2021 in Canna Blog

Sometimes flower just doesn’t cut it. Maybe you’ve built up a tolerance, or maybe you’re just looking for a better high. Good thing for concentrates. These are the best concentrates in Denver.

What are Concentrates?        

Whether you're a first-time or experienced dabber, you might still be wondering exactly what concentrates are. Deciding what concentrate to choose and knowing how to use it properly takes a little background knowledge.

Concentrates are where you isolate the most desirable parts of the cannabis plant through a process of heat and extraction. Basically, concentrates are the best part of marijuana in a convenient package. Scientifically, it’s a bit more complicated. Suffice it to say concentrates will get you higher than the average flower.

Types of Concentrates

         Concentrates come in a variety of forms:

·         Live Resin

·         Shatter

·         Wax

·         Budder

·         Crystalline (Diamonds)

Though there are many different types of concentrates, they are essentially all the same product—extracted, compounded marijuana oils. They are named differently based on the consistency, density, and texture of the end product, as well as differences in how the concentrates are prepared.

How are Concentrates Used?

Some concentrates can be used topically or taken orally, while others are used in a vaporizer commonly known as a vape pen. Dabbing is also popular. This is the process of heating up a small amount of concentrate such as live resin with a device called a dab rig, and inhaling the vapors.

Think heating up a drop of hash on a penknife and breathing in the smoke—same basic concept, only now you can buy an actual factory-made contraption for this. Concentrates can also be cooked into edibles, or you can go the old-fashioned route and top off a bowl of ordinary flower to give it an extra kick. 

Live Resin

Live resin is simply cannabis oil that has been extracted from fresh flowers that have been freeze-dried rather than air-dried and cured the typical way. This produces a different flavor in the resin, imparting a more aromatic and floral bouquet. Live resin is usually somewhat gooey in consistency and typically has a higher terpene content.

Shatter

Shatter is heat extracted or chemically extracted cannabis oil that has hardened into a glasslike substance that's usually amber colored and mostly transparent. When it's heated, it becomes a viscous liquid similar to thickened honey. Shatter can be relatively inexpensive, with deals as low as 15 dollars a gram.

Wax

Wax refers to concentrated marijuana oil that has been extracted--often with butane or other chemicals—to produce a thick, oily, and wax-like substance that can be smoked or vaporized. Unlike shatter which is see-through and hard, wax is soft and opaque.

Budder

Like the other concentrates, budder is extracted from flower to make a more potent product. Unlike wax or shatter, budder has the consistency of, well, butter. It’s a type of hash oil that can be up to 70 percent THC.

Crystalline

Also known as dust or diamonds, crystalline is concentrated THCA that comes in a solid form. Think kief. Crystalline often has little flavor because of the relatively low amount of terpenes but makes up for that lack of potency.

The Best of the Best Concentrates

Colorado is home to some of the best, award-winning concentrate companies in America. Recreational weed use has been legal in Colorado since 2012, allowing local businesses to branch out and perfect their extraction techniques. The use of concentrates by stoners continues to grow as time goes by.

Here are some extraction experts that make some of the best concentrates you can find in Colorado:

·         Green Dot Labs, based in Boulder, makes some of the best live resin in Colorado. Deals on their live resin can be found here.

·         Sano Gardens, based in Commerce City, specializes in cannabis extraction. Their live resin is popular among Coloradoans.

·         710 Labs makes some of the best concentrates for both Colorado and California.

·         VIOLA is a marijuana company started by former NBA player Al Harrington. Their concentrates can be found in dispensaries across Colorado.

·         Nomad Extracts make their concentrates from Colorado-grown cannabis. They’ve won awards for both their wax and shatter, among others. You can find their platinum wax for 30 dollars a gram at dispensaries in the Denver-metro area.

·         Lazercat Cannabis are Colorado-based growers and extractors. Their live rosin is a premium concentrate.

·         Kush Masters is an extraction company “nested in a log cabin next to Boulder’s Flatiron mountains.” You can get eight grams of their wax for 120 dollars in Denver.

Where to Find Concentrates in Colorado

         Most local dispensaries will have plenty of choices when it comes to concentrates. A budtender is always willing to help or answer any questions one might have. We’ve put together a list of some Colorado dispensaries that have great deals on concentrates:

·         The Lodge Cannabis has locations on Federal Blvd and High Street. There’s currently a deal for two grams of Green Dot live resin for 90 dollars or four grams of wax for 70 dollars.

·         Pure Marijuana Dispensary has five locations across the Denver-metro area. You can find deals on cartridges, wax, and shatter (among many others) at any location.

·         The Stone Dispensary, located in Denver, has a wide variety of concentrate deals for the frugal stoner. The previously-mentioned Kush Masters live resin is 24 dollars OTD per gram. There’s also a deal on all brands of wax or shatter.

·         Mary Jane’s House is located on Quentin Street just a little outside of Denver. They have deals on wax right now for just 27 dollars for two grams.

Which Concentrate is Right for Me?

The first time trying concentrates can be confusing. There are a ton of choices, but only you are going to know which is best for you. Trial and error, so to speak. No shame in trying them all.

Looking for More?

There are tons of places to buy concentrates or other marijuana products in Colorado. Cannasaver can be a fantastic tool for finding the right wax, live resin, or any other concentrate for you.

The experts will tell you to start with a low dose.  This a great game plan for more than one reason.  First, it is a slower and more controlled way to get high.  Second, it can save a ton of weed and money.  The marijuana available today is if such high quality that it only takes a puff or two of some strains to leave veterans like Snoop Dogg drooling for hours.  Save some money and stay just high enough, by going slow and adjusting as needed.

Edibles are all Different for Everyone

We have all heard about the nightmare experiences that edibles have caused and when we first got to Colorado, my husband and I were both more than a little leery of trying edibles for the first time.  Neither of us are noobs and have had more than one or two pot brownies in the past, but the stories we heard didn’t set very well.  When we finally tried some, it was not at all what we were expecting. 

The first ones we tried came as pills and highly recommended by a budtender who said she used them regularly (and looked very nicely baked).  Although the effects were mildly noticeable after eating several, it was most definitely not what we were expecting after all the warnings.  The second edibles we tried were Americana gummies.  They tasted pretty decent, and oddly enough, made our mouths a little numb as we chewed them.  Even with that immediate effect, it still took at least an hour to feel the full effects, and then it was still only a “one-beer-buzz” feeling after eating 4 each.  Most definitely not any sort of scary or bad trip.  Of course, everyone’s experience is different, just be prepared and don’t plan on operating any dangerous equipment or cooking a soufflé when trying edibles for the first time.   Also look for a dispensary running a deal on edibles because they do tend to cost a good bit more than a regular bag of treats.

Anxiety and Paranoia

The very best tip for this is to be comfortable before you get high.  Being in a situation where you fear getting caught will always intensify feelings of guilt, paranoia and anxiety.  Remember how anxious you got smoking in Mom’s house?  Or how about the paranoia in the school bathroom – knowing you would get expelled if you got caught?  What’s the very best way to combat anxiety and paranoia when smoking cannabis?  Move to a state where it’s legal. I did, and my anxiety and paranoia instantly went down 85 percent.  For most this is not an option, but here are a few tips to try:

  • Use cover scent like incense, automatic air fresheners, or ionizing air cleaners.  Hiding or eliminating the pungent aroma of good pot from intruding neighbors and unexpected visitors will ease fears immensely.
  • Don’t smoke in the main living area during visitor hours.  Save the kicked back TV time for after the kids are in bed.  In most places, the police can’t even visit without reason after 10pm, making the living room a safe and cozy place to enjoy your right to pursue happiness. 
  • Don’t be high around people or situations that make you feel guilty.  Some smokers don’t feel comfortable being high around their kids or family, while others have no problem going to the PTA meeting baked.  If your personal morals or ethics make it feel wrong to be high – then don’t be.  Don’t cave into peer pressure, just save the bowl for when you get home and enjoy it instead of getting freaked out because you find yourself too high at church.

Cottonmouth and Dry Eyes

These side effects are said to be best combated by drinking plenty of water.  Hydration it seems, is the key to everything, including reducing two of the most annoying side effects of smoking cannabis.  In addition to staying well hydrated, be sure to keep a drink nearby when you sit down for smoking sessions.  No matter how well hydrated you may be, some strains of marijuana just cause cottonmouth and that’s that.  Being well hydrated is also said to help with dry eyes.  One thing to remember not to do is rely too heavily on eye drops.  Overuse can actually end up making eyes dryer and reducing natural tear production.  Not to mention, the medicines in certain eye drops can cause diarrhea when used excessively.

The Munchies

The munchies can be a reason to smoke or a bad side effect depending on who you ask, but one thing’s for sure, they do exist and they are hard as heck to stay away from once they show up at the party.  Short of eating everything in the kitchen or inventing really strange recipes, there is one certain way to keep the munchies at bay.

Any veteran pot smoker knows that there is one sure fire way to kill a good buzz – eat.  So many long time smokers simply use will power, and their dedication to stay high, as their number one weapon in the war against the munchies.  Don’t give in and eat, and stay higher longer.  Smoke a little and eat a pizza, and an hour later you will find yourself repeating the process -  and the calories start to add up.  But smoke and wait it out, and the munchies will pass sooner or later and save 500 calories or more as well as a great buzz.
