Sunderstorm Inc. Kahna Belts

I can now say the last time I had a gummy belt was not in my late teens but as a full-fledged adult, and even better—it was cannabis infused! Kahna gummies are launching their newest Kahna Belts flavor, sour cherry limeade (currently available in sativa), in the form of two 50mg belts (each with clear marks for an easy tear to obtain a 10mg dose).

It took about an hour for these to fully hit, but when it did, it was fast. I went on a 10-minute walk feeling entirely sober and by the time I reached my home, I was absolutely feeling the effects. I found the potency very standard, though that was appreciated, as someone who likes to be very cognizant of their dose when using edibles.

The brand is known for their flavor, and it shows. The taste was great—in fact, a couple times I had to stop myself from snacking on more of the belt and getting a little too toasty. However, it absolutely has me curious to try out their other flavors and strains!

22Red’s Sunkissed, Greenhouse-Grown Flower

22Red is introducing Sunkissed: a high-quality, greenhouse-grown flower pushing boundaries by using a combination of climate-controlled systems, precision lighting, the natural sun, and organic ingredients to grow their flower. Sunkissed is available in four strain varieties: 22AM, Kingsley, Red Wedding, and Sundae School.

I got a taste of Kingsley, the indica-dominant strain giving a nice, unique balance of piney and citrus flavors. As a person who usually veers indica anyway, it was the perfect hang-back smoke, though I was never couch-locked or on the verge of sleep. The flower was immense and thick—two hefty buds was enough to fill out the eighth package.

The new line is surely making a flashy debut, and trying one strain will likely have you looking over the others the next time you stop by a Nevada dispo!

Canndescent Justice Joints Prerolls

Just in time for its one-year anniversary, Cannabis for Black Lives (CfBL) has teamed up with Justice Joints by Canndescent, hoping to make a greater impact together by elevating those negatively affected by the War on Drugs. One-hundred percent of its profits go to social equity and expungement efforts in the cannabis community. Justice Joints will donate 50 percent of its profits to support CfBL in their mission, alongside JJ’s continued partnership with Last Prisoner Project.

The joints come in an individual package covered with information surrounding the continued inequality in the cannabis industry, and the lack of justice surrounding folks still incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis-related charges. I received the hybrid Iced Cherry Cookies, which had a sweet and smooth flavor fitting of the name. 

The preroll was immaculately packed and burned smooth, and the high hit me hard and fast. Initially, I felt a rush of euphoria, walking around my neighborhood feeling like I was mentally in a completely different reality. About 45 minutes after I smoked, my high shifted to more mellow and relaxed as I turned on a horror movie. I often will smoke a full gram preroll in one go, but I found the potency of this Justice Joint was more than enough to split into two sessions.

I absolutely recommend my fellow Californians try out a Justice Joint as soon as they can, offering a quality product giving to a great cause.
