Say what now? A cannabis journal? That’s right, a notebook of sorts in which to keep track of all the flower, vapes, concentrates, pre rolls, edibles and any other cannabis related product you consume. Just like wine connoisseurs keep track of the wines they drink- the different grape varietals, the vintage, the region, the vines, the notes of plum or wood or apricot, the degree to which they enjoyed that particular glass or bottle of wine, so too can cannabis users. Oh yes, we can! And we should. Following are just a few of the benefits you can reap from keeping a cannabis journal of all the products you purchase from Altitude Dispensary.

First off, when you keep a cannabis journal you are keeping track of everything you’ve ever smoked or eaten or vaped. This means you’ve got some bragging rights. It’s always nice when, amongst conversation, someone brings up this or that strain and you can say, ‘yep, I’ve smoked that.’ Even better if you can recall what you thought of it. Often the simple act of writing something down helps us to remember much better than if we hadn’t written anything down. In this way, you can contribute your two or twenty cents to the conversation.

Next, keeping track of all you have consumed is a great way to get a better idea of what you like and don’t like. Within these cannabis journals or logbooks there are areas to record pretty much anything you’d want to remember including: the method of consumption (smoke, vape, ingest), the smell and taste, whether it was sativa or indica, the time and place you consumed it, the quantity, the effect achieved (the high) and so many more areas in which to record your cannabis experience. When you are actively thinking about these categories, you are more aware of what you are smoking and become more and more in tune with what you really enjoy. When this happens, you can ensure that you purchase exactly what you want and what you like at Altitude Dispensary.

Next, when you record everything you like and don’t like, you can bring in your journal and ask your friendly and knowledgeable budtender to recommend products based on your preferences from your careful recordings in your journal. For example, you can tell your budtender, ‘I really liked this hybrid flower, Gelato Cake, can you recommend something similar?’ They will be happy to help you out with a similar bud and then you can record that one in your journal too and see how they compare.

Finally, these journals are just a neat way to keep track of everything you’ve consumed. They are fun to look back on and perhaps see the evolution of your cannabis journey. They serve as a great reference when, because you consumed, you’ve perhaps forgotten, as is often a side effect. You now have a handy little book to help you remember.

I very much like that cannabis is going the way of wine and whisky. I like that we are taking such a keen interest in it, that we are taking notes and becoming aware of exactly what it is we are smoking or ingesting. Cannabis is a fine product and deserves this sort of respect. Find all your cannabis needs at Altitude Dispensary today.

So you may have noticed on your own, or it may have been pointed out to you at some time that pot these days seems to be stronger than it used to be. You know, back in the day when you were buying dime bag swag. Now, possibly it’s simply better because, well, you were buying swag versus kind bud because, like me, that’s about all you could afford in your late high school and college days. And you weren’t exactly in the position to be picky. And hey, it still got you high, right? But how high and for how long was debatable, especially with today’s comparison.

I even remember a category of marijuana back in my college days that was in between kind bud and swag. We called it “pretendica,” as in— it’s pretending not to be swag and pretending to be kind or at least indica. This was usually about ten dollars more than the swag and ten dollars fewer than the kind bud. This was the bud we’d get when we were celebrating a special occasion—St. Patrick’s Day or maybe and A on a test kind of celebration.

But these days, these non college days where that degree I earned allows me to actually buy cannabis at a dispensary like Altitude Dispensary and chose from a variety of different options of flower, vapes, edibles and dabs, the flower I smoke seems to be worlds apart from the flower I used to smoke. But, aside from the difference between kind bud and swag, what accounts for this?

Well, first and foremost, making marijuana legal, and therefore marijuana grows legal allows for there to be research into this beautiful and useful flower. Once we took these silly laws away from it, we were allowed to further research for any other benefits this plant might offer. For this reason, we don’t just have the home grows from your neighborhood dealer doing the best he can. Nope, we have full on grows inside warehouses, or outside in fields, acres of them. The more that is grown, the more that is known about this plant which was once much more mysterious than it is today.
 
Along with that comes the space to experiment with different hybrids and cross pollination of many plants. This allows growers and researchers to find the best combos for whatever ailment or adventure one may be seeking to treat. 

Add to all this the easy access to information that the internet provides, again along with the fact that cannabis is now legal, and you can see just a few of the reasons why cannabis today is so much more potent than you may recall. 

And, if you’re not exactly certain this is true, check it all out for yourself with Altitude Dispensary’s buying guide. There you can find information on all the products they sell in their dispensaries. So whether you’d like to smoke your cannabis, eat it, or vape, you can find information on all the difficult products available.

Cannabis is Cheap, Really

Alright, so first I need to set this little story up. So, I’m on Tinder, yep a forty something year old on a dating site looking for my perfect match. And let me tell you, my perfect match is most definitely someone who partakes in cannabis. I’ve been in enough relationships to know that if this “hobby” is not shared by both members, things can get dicey pretty fast. So, no thank. And thank you for smoking pot (this is a bumper sticker I have fastened to my fridge door by the way.) 

So I’m chatting with this one match. We’ve been getting along. I’m even excited to actually meet them. That is, until they ask me what I am doing and I tell them I’m about to go home and take a few bong rips. And then they replies, aw man, I wish I could do that. So I reply, what’s stopping ya? Because I mean, this shit literally grows on trees and you can buy it at your friendly Altitude Dispensary for goodness sake, so what’s stopping you? And they reply, and I’m serious here, low on funds. 

So, I’m kind of taking this as a giant red flag that a grown ass forty year old doesn’t have enough money to get high. Because, cannabis is cheap, man!

First, let’s talk about all of the options you have. You could buy a preroll. At Altitude Dispensary these are usually sold in a pack of seven joints for $22.29. This match can’t afford $23! Come on! Red flag, am I right? 

Next up, flower. Flower is sold by the gram. The gram folks! At Altitude Dispensary those grams start at just $7.94. Seriously, this match is so low on funds they can’t buy an $8 gram of flower to put in their pipe and smoke? 

Next, edibles. Altitude Dispensary has a huge variety of these with varying percentages of THC. Most of these come in packages with several edibles. The cheapest will run you $7.17 for a two pack of of Three J Hice Cream Strawberry Cheesecake. Seven dollars. That’s it. I mean, that’s like six pack cheap, well, of not so decent beer anyway. And this person can’t afford it? I mean…

Then let’s talk about all the other deals and specials Altitude Dispensary offers. First, you can sign up to receive discounts and specials. Simply enter your email address and they’ll send you their offers. Also, on their webpage you can click to see their ounce of the week! These are varying strains for $99 an ounce! Cannabis is cheap. Also on their specials page you can find other deals including a free joint for spending $60 or more in the shop. 

So, I mean maybe this match is just having a very rough go so that they can’t even spare ten dollars to partake in the joys of cannabis, or maybe they just haven’t been to Altitude Dispensary to see for themselves how cheap cannabis can actually be. I don’t know. Either way, you should check out Altitude Dispensary because they have products to fit any budget.

Oh that lovely and most Hallmark of holidays is upon us and with it the stress that comes with showing your love to your sweetheart with various gifts, chocolates and flowers. Might I suggest a different kind of flower this year? One that not only looks pretty, but one that is actually useful and fun. One that you can smoke. One that can get your loved one and you high together? The gift you give that you too can partake in and enjoy—cannabis! That’s right, surprise your one and only with the gift that keeps on giving—cannabis products from Altitude Dispensary. 

Here is your Valentine’s Day Gift Guide coming at you from Altitude Dispensary. So hopefully you know your true love well enough to know that, A.

But, maybe your Valentine’s date is new, y’all are just getting started (congrats by the way!), and what better way to impress them than heart felt gifts from Altitude Dispensary.

The Superbowl is fast approaching so I thought I’d hit you with a timely post about ways to incorporate cannabis into your Superbowl party. Though, these tips don’t have to just be for the Superbowl, you could apply them to any party you may be hosting to be a standout, memorable post.

Let’s start with snacks, as any good Superbowl party has plenty of snacks- both savory and sweet to satisfy all your game day munchies. 

Let’s think sweet- brownies! Brownies are always a hit, whether infused with cannabis or not, really. Am I right? It’s pretty simple to whip up a batch of boxed brownie mix. The only difference for pot brownies is you’ve got to add the pot! And that is usually done by whipping up some pot butter. It’s best to use shake here as you need quite a bit and shake will be cheaper. Once you’ve got your butter made, you just sub that in whatever recipe you’re using.

Other sweet treats can be made the same way, simply subbing in the pot butter wherever the recipe calls for butter. You could also make cookies, rice crispy treats, whatever you fancy really. 

Onto savory- I’m thinking condiments. Say what? For this you’ll want some cannaoil. You can make this, or sometimes you can find it pre-made. If you make it, again, you’ll want to buy lots of shake from your friendly Altitude Dispensary. You can then use the cannaoil to make ketchup or barbecue sauce for any hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken or ribs you may be serving. 

Other savory Superbowl treats? What about nacho cheese dip? Again, you’d use the same cannabutter to make this.
There’s other pre-made edibles to be found at Altitude Dispensary as well- think hard candies, or gummies, or even drinks and tinctures that you can simply buy and set out for your Superbowl guests.

One thing to be sure of, unless you’re very close with your guests and know how a prank like not telling them there’s pot in the food they’re eating will go over, be sure to alert your guests to the choices they have. Often it’s great to have both options available and clearly labeled. A plate of brownies and a plate of pot brownies with signs denoting each will do the trick. This way all of your guests will be happy. 

You’ve got a lot of choices when it comes to food for your Superbowl party and that means a lot of ways to impress your guests. I think variety is the spicy of life and having plenty of options for your guests to chose from is the way to go. You can always do a mix of both pot infused food and non pot infused food so that each guest can chose whether they would like to be high or not while cheering for their favorite, or favorite for now because their team didn’t make it to the Superbowl, team. For all your marijuana, edibles and flower needs, head to Altitude Dispensary and let their budtenders take care of you.
