A Guide to a Creative High
Pick The Right Strain Of course I had to start with the most obvious one, everyone knows the strain you choose greatly effects the high, along with a few other important factors. Those who don't know this usually don't even give cannabis a second chance, most first time smokers don't realize how much a better strain can improve your experience. For me, I'm all about sativa and personally find they bring me the most creative energy but for some hybrid is easier to access and gives a more evenly balanced high; then there's the few remaining stoners that find the relaxed high of a indica sets them up for a relaxing night of creative thoughts. Anyway the most important part of all of this, my personal favourite strains that never fail to bring me into a creative headspace are; Gelato, Pineapple Express (yes this is a real strain and yes I've written my own stoner comedy after smoking it), Silver Kush, and to throw one Indica into the mix - Palm Tree.

Hemp Flower Butter Recipe
Needed: (crock-pot, butter, strainer, dried herb, and mold for butter) To be clear, this post is about making a hemp butter for cooking and not WEED BUTTER. This method was passed down to me from a veteran in the field but for all intents and purposes this is not to be used to make anything illegal. There's also much easier ways to make great CBD enhanced food products; terpenes and CBD are sold all in isolated forms, making it a much easier process to make something completely tailored to your needs.

Is Hemp Extract Worth Taking?
While people are obsessed with the isolated tinctures from cannabis, people forget about natural cold-pressed hemp oil as a supplement. It doesn’t have a harsh chemical extraction process, contains natural phytochemicals and doesn’t have enough THC to get you high.
