by Welcome to our first Cannabis this Week post!
Each week we will do a deep dive into some of the products we’ve received in our weekly order.
Some posts will give details on products we’ve developed a relationship with longer term and others will be products that are new to us. We invite you to share your impressions with us!
One thing you might want to take note of is our classification matrix. We looked at the different scenarios that folx encounter when purchasing products and we narrowed them down to three general situations. The first was Easy on the Pocketbook. Easy on the Pocketbook is when your funds are limited or when you are looking to purchase something you already have but you left it at home or you might be budgeting for something grand and have limited your outputs. You may be a first time consumer and want to start light or you may be on a fixed income but don’t want to skimp on experience. Simply put these products are the best in their class at the price points that fit the aforementioned considerations.
Second is Daily Practice. Daily Practice is for the person who sets aside a budget for products that add value to their lives. They have identified a particular set of criteria for the products they love and they are comfortable allocating funds to this practice. Again, in this case we have curated the very best of what is available in this price range. Last is Going Places. Going places is for the person who is going to a special event and wants to bring something special for the host, you may be going on a journey of self discovery and you want something unique for that experience or you may have landed in a place where your currency feels fluid and your budget is less of an issue. The products in the Going Places range are the creme de la creme in their category.

White Russian’s high is quite cerebral, but can lead to couchlock when over-indulged.
