Use this easy-to-follow recipe for cooking up all sorts of infused goodies to enjoy medically or recreationally. Supplies and Ingredients:
Step 1: Measure and Prep Tip: Since trim and b-buds (also often called popcorn nugs or bb buds) are less desirable for smoking and therefore less expensive than top-quality flower, both make great material for infusing butter for your baked goods! Check out our online menu or ask a budtender about what trim or bb buds are available. Step 2: Decarboxylate Preheat your oven to 215 degrees and prepare your cannabis by grinding the whole quarter of weed. A coffee or herb grinder works surprisingly well here — pulse a few times, but don’t go wild — the idea is to break it down, not turn it into a powder. Spread your freshly ground cannabis out evenly onto a baking sheet. The next step is to jump start activating the cannabis through a process called decarboxylation by baking it at 215 degrees for 45 minutes. What the heck is decarboxylation, and do I really have to do it? If you’re concerned about the potential weedy aromas that might fill your apartment, you could skip the whole decarbing process in this recipe, but you’ll need to add an extra 3 hours to the Crockpot time, and you may end up with a “greener” tasting butter. Step 3: Slow Cook in a Crockpot After your weed is decarboxylated (or decarbed for short) Combine both the flower and butter in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid. Place your jar in a crock pot and fill with water so that your container is suspended. Let the cannabis and butter sit for 5 hours. Did those hours fly by? Step 4: Strain The Plant Matter Now you’ll use your cheesecloth and a bowl to strain your newly infused cannabutter. Get a buddy to help you hold the cheesecloth over the bowl. If you don’t have a buddy available, then a mesh strainer is helpful to support underneath the cheesecloth. Pour your mixture through to separate the plant parts from the oil. After allowing the oil to cool until it’s comfortable to touch, squeeze any remaining oil out of the cheesecloth into your bowl. At this point, you’ve extracted all the goodies from the captured plant matter, so it’s best to compost it. Step 5: Store it and/or Use it Transfer the liquid gold (er, green) cannabutter to a storage container and once it’s totally cooled, stick it in the fridge (or freezer) to increase the shelf life. It will keep in the fridge for a few weeks, or the freezer for a few months. Now you can easily infuse your own recipes or salves! Isn’t it beautiful!?

Chances are you know about the cannabinoid CBD and that all of our CBD products are sourced from cannabis as opposed to hemp. This means all of our CBD products contain THC in varying amounts- even if it is miniscule. At Dockside you may have seen some product descriptions or titles that contain ratios like 1:1, 10:1 or 20:1. Confused? You’re not alone. We get a lot of questions about dosing and the difference between various ratios. Understanding that these ratios stand for CBD to THC (or CBD:THC) is the first step. A 5:1 ratio for example doesn’t necessarily mean that there are 5 mg of CBD and 1 mg of THC per serving, but that for every 5 parts CBD proportionally there is 1 part THC. For example,that could mean one serving gives you 40mg CBD:8mg THC. It all depends on the total cannabinoids in the bottle, divided by the number of servings. All cannabis companies in WA are required to list this information. Now to find a tincture that’s right for you. Since a lot of the questions we receive are about Fairwinds’ broad offering of tinctures and capsules, we interviewed Randi from their team in order to clear up confusion about CBD ratios, correct dosing, and which tinctures are best to find relief while keeping a clear head. Here’s what we learned: How do I figure out the correct ratio of CBD to THC? As a reminder, it often requires a serving size of at least 2-3mg THC for most people to feel any sort of intoxication. While this amount will differ from person to person, this is a pretty good rule of thumb to go by.” Will I eventually build up a tolerance? Additionally, Fairwinds uses adaptogenic herbs in some of our product formulations. Adaptogens help our bodies maintain homeostasis and balance to cope with things like stress, and they actually become more effective the more often you use them. This is why products like the PTSfree capsules work so well for those who take them on a regular basis.” What makes the two Fairwinds’ Spectrum tinctures different aside from their “AM” and “PM” formula labels? Spectrum AM and PM tinctures are similar in their targeted effects, but the ingredients differ a bit as one is designed for daytime use, and the other for end of day rest. Our AM tincture is formulated using white grapefruit essential oil and huperzia herbal extract – popular for its mood enhancing and focus-boosting properties. The PM tincture contains sweet orange essential oil, which has been shown to help with calmness and relaxation. Both are made with lemon, rosemary, and peppermint essential oils as well as herbal extracts of boswellia, ginger, and turmeric! We use slightly different terpenes in each formula as well. We use only clinically-proven ingredients in our products. We carefully select each and every ingredient, so you can always rest assured that our products are reliable and consistent every time.” What CBD ratio can I take and get work done without getting high? Is there a reason I would take a 20:1 tincture vs a 1:1? On the other hand, a 1:1 ratio may be more useful for someone more familiar with THC consumption or an individual interested in boosting the entourage effect (this effect stems from the fact that cannabinoids are more useful when consumed in tandem as opposed to isolated compounds.) While the entourage effect is certainly a part of all Fairwinds’ Ratio Series products, it is likely to be heightened with the 1:1 or 5:1 tinctures, vapes, or capsules. If you still have questions about tinctures, Fairwinds products, ratios and dosing, please send them to [email protected]. There are no stupid questions and we are always happy to help guide you in discovering what works best for you!

While Dockside Cannabis has well-educated staff members and we are proud to employ several state-certified MMCs (medical marijuana consultants), we are not medical professionals. All suggestions are recommended based on anecdotal evidence only, and are not to be considered as prescriptive advice. Keep out of reach of children and store all cannabis products in a secure location. The internet is telling us weed moms are the new wine moms. So what does it mean to identify as a weed mom or to consume mom weed? Is it a new strain? Not yet. Is it only for moms? Of course not! There are already a few books out there about ‘mom weed’ so let’s dive into this new phenomenon. As legalization expands across the United States, more moms are finding the knowledge to safely balance cannabis consumption and parenting. Not a weed mom? Don’t worry, it can also be a way to describe your consumption habits, even if you don’t identify as a mom at all. Mom weed can be a whole catalogue of strains that assist productivity, relaxation, and anything to necessitate a more positive parenting experience. And you don’t have to be a mom to reap the benefits! Mom weed is versatile. It can be weed to help you get through your to-do list and it can be weed that helps you unwind. Check out some products that are mom weed approved. *Just a note, cannabis can be consumed in many different ways and the products we’re suggesting are not just limited to flower:
Low key night in? The kids are asleep and it’s a good time for some self-care. Try out Hindu Kush by Puffin Farm. This heavy landrace strain will melt your woes away. Weed to help you get through your everyday tasks? Try the strain Gilda from Raven Grass. Much like this strain’s namesake comedienne, this flower is sure to leave a smile on your face! Bolster your spirit and quiet your mind with this functional yet relaxing strain. Ditch the wine and try Happy Apple Sparkling Cider. Made with Washington apples! Can be served hot or chilled. If you’re looking for a daytime option, try CBD Wild Sides in Mango (100mg CBD / 10mg CBG / 10mg THC) and 1:1 Peach (100mg CBD / 15mg CBG / 100mg THC). Trying to get some much-needed sleep? Try Beauty Sleep by Green Revolution or Deep Sleep by Fairwinds. If
And let’s not forget about the weed dog moms out there! Fairwinds Companion Tincture is super versatile and the bacon flavor makes a great addition to any tomato-based drink. Companion tincture is also available in chicken flavor for the feline types!
Maybe you know a cannabis-loving mom who’s too crunched on time to get out to a dispensary. Pick her up something special this Mother’s day. Some more fun ideas below: Try Swifts 1:1 Chocolate Covered Caramels. Milk Duds wish they could be this fun. Each piece has 10mg THC and 10mg CBD, so you snack and unwind!
Spot’s Levity Blend edibles with (10mg CBD / 3mg THC). Tasty and mellow, Spot’s Levity Blend edibles are available in milk or dark chocolate, as well as strawberry or orange fruit chews.
Fairwinds Warming and Cooling Sticks. These potent and effective topical sticks are perfect for addressing everyday aches and pains on the go or giving yourself a hand or foot massage during down-time. The best part of these sticks? They actually smell great! Both formulas are naturally scented with cocoa butter and essential oils and have zero “weed smell”.
Velvet Swing because moms deserve fun, too. Formulated by mothers! Velvet Swing is Washington’s first cannabis-based lubricant and it remains one of the best. Made with pH-balancing, water-soluble ingredients, Velvet Swing will not get you high, but it will stimulate blood flow.

The Hindu Kush is a mountain range in Afghanistan. vs Dutchberry (Dutch Treat x DJ Short Blueberry) Appearance Chunky, medium-sized nugs with dense, tightly-coiled leaves. Orange pistils punctuate its uniform emerald green coloring. Cloudy white trichomes dot the outsides of the flowers, giving the strain a particularly sticky texture. Experience Giggly and euphoric, yet relaxing Dutchberry is Artizen’s flagship strain and a recipient of the Dope Cup People’s Choice Award. Match 2: Pineapple Beignet (Wedding Cake pheno #33 x Roses) Aroma & Taste A perfect blend of fruit and gas— sweet pineapple pastry on the palate with a funky petrol finish Appearance Tight bud structure with hues of bright green mixed with light purple and contrasting bright orange hairs.

The post 2022 Dockside Cup Recap appeared first on Dockside Cannabis. from Dockside Cannabis https://www.docksidecannabis.com/dockside-blog/2022-dockside-cup/ from https://docksidecannabisdispensary.tumblr.com/post/682732018021351424 In our last post [T & K – PLEASE UPDATE WITH LINK BEFORE POSTING!!], we framed wine and cannabis as sisters to one another, similar in many ways. And that metaphor extends far beyond their place in human culture! Both are relatively small, green, flowering plants, and both generate truly remarkable byproducts in the service of their reproductive cycle. But if grapevines and cannabis plants are sisters to one another, they are certainly sisters with their own distinct personalities. One is fussy and high-maintenance, while the other is friendlier, more adaptable. One is prudish and prudent, always looking to the future, the other sensuous and decadent, a classic annual, totally focused on the now. It doesn’t take an oenologist or master grower to figure out which is which. The GrapevineThe grapevine is the older sister, the quintessential firstborn: focused, productive, brilliant, but self-centered and a little cold, preferring to keep company with those who appreciate her tastes and sensitivities. From the get-go, she is focused on her task: to be fruitful and multiply. In nature, most grapevines, like cannabis, are dioecious, meaning they produce male and female varieties which must cross-pollinate in order to fertilize and reproduce. Only the females produce grapes, just as only female cannabis plants produce potent psychoactive buds. However, the vast majority of cultivated vines are hermaphroditic.
A grapevine needs to grow, creep, and explore, uncrowded and free, in order to be truly happy. She knows this about herself, and knows her children will feel the same way, so she spends all of her energy on securing that space, for her sake and for theirs. Biologists call this a dispersal strategy, and hers is to hide her seeds inside delicious, mouth-watering fruit, and leverage animals to carry her them far away from her. Her fruit is her magnum opus, and it must be succulent enough to be eaten before it rots. In order to produce her finest work, however, the grapevine can be quite a diva. The wine grape, Vitis vinifera, comes in a constellation of different genetic expressions. In cannabis, we call these expressions strains, and we name them things like “Purple Haze”, “Headband”, or “Sour Tsunami”. In the wine world, they’re varietals or cultivars. “Pinot Noir”, “Chardonnay”, and “Xinomavro” are all examples of varietals. Each varietal has a very specific set of growing conditions which she prefers as a workplace. Some grapevines like to be planted in shale, next to the sea, in high wind with lots of shade, while others prefer a high-calcium loam in full sun, with small temperature fluctuation. Too much or too little light, heat, water, or nutrients, and she becomes unproductive and discouraged – but when conditions are perfect, she is a true artist, producing fruit with depth, flavor, and complexity. Sometimes she engages with her surroundings so deeply that her fruit develops a unique character specific to that environment. When she does this, wine drinkers say that she is expressing terroir, or place. Even in the best environment, grapevines may not produce good fruit for wine unless carefully cultivated by a winegrower with a great deal of knowledge and experience. Working with the older sister can be rewarding, but it requires devotion, commitment, and respect for her needs, in order to avoid disaster. After her fertile fruit is a banquet for critters or a harvest for people, at the end of the summer, she goes dormant for the winter; many varietals appear completely dead until the next spring. She is playing the long game, and in many cases, her best work doesn’t appear until she is twenty, forty, or even ninety. The Cannabis PlantShe is the younger sister: gregarious, flirtatious, and radiant. She reaches for the sun, soaks up as much as she can, and – when she’s ready – becomes a blaze of blossoms! She is all about performance, display, and sexuality, because unlike her hermaphroditic sister, she hasn’t been blessed with the ability to pollinate herself. In nature, cannabis relies on wind for pollination, rather than other living things. This means that it’s very important to for males to get their pollen out in the fresh air, and for females to provide ample places to catch that drifting pollen where it can be productive. She doesn’t mind living close to other plants, including her own children. As long as everyone has enough access to the sun, the party can continue! In nature, cannabis often ends up growing in great stands or clusters, and many indoor growing techniques rely on keeping plants very close to one another in order to distribute resources efficiently. Since she doesn’t mind if her babies grow up right next to her, she doesn’t need to worry about dispersing her seeds, which means she doesn’t need to worry about producing a tempting fruit. This means that all of her energy goes into growth, and ultimately into her spectacular, voluminous flowers! Cannabis grows up in its vegetative state all year long, until the fall, when the nights descend more quickly. When there is as much darkness as light in a given 24 hour period, she knows that winter is coming, and begins to flower. If there’s only time for one more party, she’s gonna be sure to bring some fire! The crystal-laden leaves, petals, and pistils of the cannabis flower are all surfaces on which wind-borne pollen can land and fertilize the plant. Cannabis can produce flowers and trichomes of fabulously diverse shapes, sizes, and chemical constitutions! The fluffier the flower and the stickier the oils, the more effectively the pollen is captured. When fertilization happens, the plant begins to produce seeds inside the flowers or buds, which protect it while it develops until it ultimately falls off of her branches to germinate. In modern growing conditions, the female plants are not allowed to be fertilized, but instead of letting this get her down, the cannabis plant laughs and produces buds that are even bigger, richer, and more aromatic, because she put all of her energy into them. These buds are traditionally called sinsemilla, literally “without seeds”. Unlike the grapevine, cannabis is quite adaptive. She can learn to appreciate many different environments and climates, though she always loves the sun above all else. She can also produce beautiful flowers with minimal intervention, though she welcomes partnership with even the most novice growers, and generously rewards their assistance. Different strains have slightly different preferences, and some are more finicky than others, but by and large, cannabis laughs in the face of weak soil and inclement weather. As many, many before us have pointed out, we don’t call her a weed for nothing. She wouldn’t take it personally. After she buds, in most circumstances, cannabis will die, or produce a substantially reduced yield the following year. When grown for commercial production, cannabis is usually uprooted or pruned at the base at the time of harvest. However, a skilled grower can induce cannabis to grow indefinitely without ever flowering, by manipulating the amount of light she receives, or even encourage her to flower multiple times while minimizing the loss of yield and potency that multiple blooms usually represent. The Bottom LineAt the end of the day, the girls are pretty similar. Their differences are primarily stylistic, because they both produce their gifts in the service of various parts of their reproductive cycle. Yes, wine has a well-earned reputation for being more difficult to work with as an agricultural project, and perhaps a very small measure of its acclaim can be attributed to that. However, to comprehensively understand where the cultural differences emerge, we need to look elsewhere. Perhaps at the chemicals themselves. Next week, we’ll talk about pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, or the scientific side of drinking up and burning down. A Note About Safety: Judicious use of cannabis and alcohol produce a natural synergy that some people find very enjoyable. Cannabis and alcohol can potentiate, or enhance, one another’s effect(s). At a certain dose, which can vary significantly from person to person, this combination almost always results in nausea and a certain level of disorientation, even for people who may have high tolerances to either or both constituent substances. The point is, when combining, dose small – and accent one substance with the other, don’t combine them equally. No one under the influence of alcohol or psychoactive cannabis derivatives should operate a motor vehicle or heavy machinery. No one combining the two should operate anything more complex or dangerous than a corkscrew, and be careful with that foil cutter, buddy. As always, combustion is stressful to the lungs, and alcohol is neurotoxic and hepatotoxic. Small doses of alcohol are much safer than large doses. Pairing Possibility #2Eric Texier Côtes du Rhône & OG Kush Last time, we paired a lively white with an energetic Sativa as a recipe for a great, lighthearted time. This time let’s slow our roll. Rather than accenting the wine with the weed, I recommend enjoying the OG Kush liberally with just a glass or two of the red for a contemplative, comforting, introspective experience – as suited to brainstorming as it is meditation. Enjoy this pairing with roasted red meat, porcini mushrooms, and steamed broccoli.

Caution: do not pair Moonrocks with your gravity bong, gas mask, or 6-foot bong, unless you have called in sick from work in advance. Moonrocks pack a wallop and should be smoked responsibly. This triple whammy consists of the holy trinity of weed all in one place: whole flower, cannabis concentrate (made using a process that uses solvents to extract the active constituents of flower, creating a sticky wax or oil), and kief or bubble hash (the trichome heads that contain cannabinoids and terpenes that have been manually separated from flower using cold temperatures and agitation). While available in pre-made form (Emerald Jane’s Spacegems), this out-of-this-world weed experience can easily be made at home and is super customizable.

Weed is legal in Washington state. Did you know Washington was one of the first states where weed became legalized for both recreation and medical uses? In fact, we at Dockside Cannabis opened our doors as a medical co-op in 2011. If it’s your first time visiting a cannabis dispensary — congratulations! Dockside Cannabis is here to help you every step of the way! If this isn’t your first weed rodeo, that’s all well and fine too, there’s always something new to learn when it comes to cannabis. When shopping in a cannabis retail environment, there are a few things you will want to know before you visit. Let’s get started! Dockside has four locations in Seattle to conveniently serve you. You must be 21 years or older and provide a valid government issued ID to shop with us. We’re a cash only establishment but we have ATMs available inside each location.

Are you looking for pain relief? Maybe you’re seeking creative inspiration, help sleeping, managing anxiety or stress?

The post Help! It’s My First Time Shopping for Cannabis – A Weed Guide for Newbies appeared first on Dockside Cannabis. from Dockside Cannabis https://www.docksidecannabis.com/help-its-my-first-time-shopping-for-cannabis-a-weed-guide-for-newbies/ from https://docksidecannabisdispensary.tumblr.com/post/664861737066151936 There’s nothing more refreshing than a sweet, cold and thirst quenching ice cream float! And what better way to elevate the occasion than by adding cannabis! It’s easy to fix up an ice cream float and incorporate cannabis infused soda to change up the game and we’ll show you how. The beverages we recommend are Mojo and Happy Apple. Mojo cannabis-infused craft sodas are magic in a bottle! These delicious sodas enchant and delight the taste-buds. Each soda is Infused with 10mg and up to 100mg of full-spectrum cannabis sourced from Heylo Cannabis. Happy Apple is made from cider pressed with 100% local, Washington apples and water sourced from the Pacific Northwest! Happy Apple beverages contain zero sugars, artificial flavors, or additives. Getting Started: There are a few different ways you can go about making the perfect ice cream float. You might be the type to add the ice cream first and pour your soda on top which will decrease the likelihood of spillover. Or you can live dangerously. Add your scoops of ice cream to your already bubbling soda. But watch out, you may need to be ready to slurp up the overflow! Classic Root Beer Float What you’ll need:
Start with your ice cream (we’re using vanilla) and add 1 or 2 scoops into a tall glass. Use a measuring cup to dose your soda to find the amount that’s perfect for you. We recommend 10mg of Mojo and including non-infused root beer to add volume to your float. Slowly and carefully pour the root beer into the glass, allowing the fizz and foam to rise and recede. Add more to your preference. Enjoy with a spoon or straw! Creamsicle Orange Soda Float What you’ll need:
Add your ice cream to your favorite chilled mug. Pour your preferred amount of Mojo Orange Cream (again we recommend 10mg per glass). Add non-infused orange soda to bulk up your float if dosing small amounts. It’s that simple! Include some infused or non-infused honey for an extra sugar rush! Caramel Apple Float What you’ll need:
Combine the Happy Apple cider and lime water to a glass and stir. Add more lime water if you’re dosing small amounts of Happy Apple. Add one to two scoops of ice cream to a frosty glass. Pour your cider mixture over the ice cream and if you’re feeling adventurous, add a caramel glaze! Enjoy!
