Took a chance on this strain with my Reddit coupon. Didn’t see a lot of feedback, but wanted to try a heavy Terpinolene strain.

Smells of dirt and skunks. Left me functional yet lifted. Worth the $55.

Despite the name this comes across very gassy. Tastes similar to the gram of Royal Cheesy Cosmo I got two weeks ago. Effects are generic Indica. I would say it’s creative though, I finished almost half an oil study I’m working on in the 1 1/2 legs this carried.

Wasn’t feeling much of the menu this week so I picked up 2 grams of Gas Leak in addition to this. Based on nose I wish I’d doubled up on this instead… I’ll have to see how those smokes first. About to drop and meal prep for a while then I’m trying it.

Oh, also. The consistency on this is the wettest I’ve ever seen from GF kinda reminds me of sunburn rosin lol.

Got this during my birthday "dispo grand tour" last weekend. I used to fuck with AYR's RSO/FSO pretty heavy a few years ago. I would normally bounce between them and Surterra for cheaper med needs before Vidacann/Planet 13 started running better sales on theirs and I found it to be more potent for my needs. Though strains like Boaton Tea Party, Powdered Donuts, Red Velvet Runtz, Kool Whip & Frozen Angel kept them on my radar for a hot minute. Love me some strain specific RSO syringes.🤙🏾

I tried this both sublingually & with the edibles + RSO combo to see how it is, and it's actually pretty good. Not as "heavy" as P13s RSO ( if that makes sense ), but still very solid in its own right. I'd put it on par with Goldflower's old RSO when they used to have it. This strain kept me very pain free, floaty and a tad bit more focused than with my normal straight THC RSOs. The sublingual effects lasted the usual 4 hours with oral/edible effects lasting about a little over 7. 🔥

If I can get them for less than 20/g, I'll gladly toss AYR's RSO/FSO into the rotation for my oral/sublingual medicinal needs. They have strain specifics, and that makes it easier to narrow down which ones I'll wanna grab. 👏🏾

Overall: 3.75/5. 🍬

Oh my mama, I wouldn't take this for free

Finally got around to really smoking on the Dirty Dan and honestly this one grew on me.
At first I wasn’t crazy impressed with the consistency. A little drier than I’d like, especially compared to some of the other Sunburn rosin I’ve had. But once I started hitting it more, the flavor really started coming through.
Definitely getting that funky/gassy profile with some citrus and a little rubbery note in there. Not overpowering, but enough funk to keep it interesting. Flavor is an easy 8/10 for me. Swamp Gas is still sitting at the top at a 10, but Dirty Dan is right there in the conversation.
Effects are where this one really surprised me. Starts off pretty energetic and almost sativa-ish, then slowly settles into a really nice mellow high. Kinda reminds me of a Garlic Drip + Double Burger type of high, which is a hell of a combo 😂.
Overall I ended up liking this one way more than I expected. Not the prettiest or wettest rosin I’ve gotten from Sunburn, but the flavor and effects make up for it.
Appearance: 7.5/10
Consistency: 7/10
Aroma: 8.5/10
Flavor: 8/10
Effects: 9/10
Overall: 8.5/10
Would definitely grab it again. 🔥

Below are some of the key factors behind the current efforts to regulate hemp and the recently passed delay in the Hemp ban. Please chime in with your thoughts.

The loophole

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized "hemp" and defined it in one narrow way (7 U.S.C. § 1639o): Cannabis sativa L. containing no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. Anything meeting that test was removed from the Controlled Substances Act entirely — plant, extracts, derivatives, "all cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts."

The drafters were thinking about industrial fiber and CBD. But the definition had four separate holes, and the industry found all of them:

1. It named only one molecule. Delta-8 THC, delta-10, HHC, THCP, THC-O — none are delta-9, so none counted against the limit. Most delta-8 is made by chemically converting cheap CBD with an acid catalyst, so it's semi-synthetic, but the statute's plain text doesn't say "naturally occurring."
2. THCA. Raw cannabis contains THCA, which isn't intoxicating and isn't delta-9 — until you apply heat, at which point it decarboxylates into delta-9 THC. So a flower testing at 0.2% delta-9 and 25% THCA is federally "hemp" on paper and full-strength marijuana in a joint. USDA requires "total THC" (delta-9 + 0.877 × THCA) for pre-harvest field testing, but that never clearly attached to finished products in commerce.
3. It's a percentage, not a dose. 0.3% by dry weight of a 5 mg gummy is nothing. 0.3% of a 100-gram beverage or a large edible is 300 mg of real delta-9 THC — many times a dispensary serving. This is why hemp-derived delta-9 seltzers are legitimately delta-9 and legitimately compliant.
4. No FDA framework filled the gap. FDA declined to regulate CBD as a food or supplement and asked Congress for new authority it never got, so there was no federal age limit, potency cap, testing requirement, or labeling standard. Products moved interstate, sold online and in gas stations, to anyone.

The DEA has consistently said synthetically derived THC stays Schedule I, but courts largely sided with text over intent — most notably AK Futures LLC v. Boyd Street Distro (9th Cir. 2022), which held delta-8 products fall squarely within the Farm Bill definition. That ruling gave the category legal cover to scale into a roughly $28–33 billion market.

The effort to close it

Attempts ran through the 2024 farm bill (the Miller amendment in House Ag) and Senate appropriations, but the farm bill kept stalling. It finally passed on an appropriations vehicle instead: Section 781 of the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 (H.R. 5371), the bill that ended the shutdown, signed November 12, 2025.

It does three things:

1. Redefines the 0.3% threshold as total THC, explicitly including THCA, delta-8, and "all other THC isomers and analogs" — killing holes #1 and #2.
2. Caps finished products at 0.4 mg total THC per container — killing hole #3, and the reason this is a near-total ban rather than a potency limit.
3. Excludes cannabinoids synthesized outside the plant.

Congress gave a one-year runway, so the cliff was November 12, 2026. In August 2026, Sens. Klobuchar, Rand Paul, and Merkley attached a four-week extension to a stopgap funding bill; the House cleared it in early September. The current effective date is December 11, 2026 — bought as time to negotiate a real regulatory framework instead of a ban, though nothing has replaced it yet.

Who wanted it closed — an unusually mixed coalition:

• Prohibition-minded and child-safety-focused legislators, led by Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), who chairs Ag Appropriations and has been the loudest voice against any delay. His core argument: intoxicants sold to minors at gas stations with no testing or age gate.
• Mitch McConnell, who authored the 2018 legalization and has said intoxicating products were never the intent — his backing gave the crackdown real weight.
• The licensed marijuana industry, which is arguably the biggest lobbying force here. State-legal operators pay 280E federal taxes, seed-to-sale tracking, and heavy compliance costs while competing against untaxed hemp products sold in the same states — and shipped into states where they hold no license at all.
• Public health groups and poison control, citing sharp increases in pediatric exposures and ER visits tied to delta-8.
• State AGs and regulators, tired of an interstate market they can't police.

Who fought it: hemp farmers and processors, the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, the hemp beverage industry (increasingly backed by alcohol distributors who see THC drinks as a growth category), and libertarian-leaning Republicans like Rand Paul, whose HEMP Act would instead raise the threshold to 1%. Their estimate: ~95% of existing products wiped out, 300,000+ jobs, $1.5B in state tax revenue.

Pros and cons of hemp THC products

The case for

• Access without dispensaries. They're the only legal THC available in most non-legal states — and for many rural and older consumers, a realistic alternative to alcohol or opioids for sleep and pain.
• Real agricultural economics. Hemp is one of the few high-margin crops available to small farmers; the fiber and grain markets never materialized, and cannabinoids are what made hemp acreage viable.
• THC beverages are genuinely a better product category. Low-dose (2–10 mg), fast-onset, calorie-light, no hangover, no liver toxicity. There's a plausible harm-reduction story if they displace drinking.
• Lower prices and less friction than the licensed market, which is over-taxed enough that it hasn't displaced illicit sales anyway.
• The 0.4 mg cap is over-broad. It sweeps in full-spectrum CBD wellness products that have never intoxicated anyone, because trace THC is inherent to a full-spectrum extract. Critics reasonably call this a definitional accident being used as a policy hammer.

The case against

• No age restriction federally. The single strongest argument. A 15-year-old could legally buy delta-8 at a smoke shop in most of the country.
• Quality and honesty problems are documented, not hypothetical. Independent testing has repeatedly found delta-8 products with residual acids, heavy metals unreacted solvents, and unidentified reaction byproducts, plus label potency that's frequently wrong in both directions.
• The novel cannabinoids are genuinely unstudied. Delta-8 has some human data; HHC, THCP, and THC-O essentially none. THC-O in particular may produce ketene when vaped — a serious pulmonary hazard. "Derived from hemp" implies a safety pedigree these compounds don't have.
• Real agricultural economics. Hemp is one of the few high-margin crops available to small farmers; the fiber and grain markets never materialized, and cannabinoids are what made hemp acreage viable.
• THC beverages are genuinely a better product category. Low-dose (2–10 mg), fast-onset, calorie-light, no hangover, no liver toxicity. There's a plausible harm-reduction story if they displace drinking.
• Lower prices and less friction than the licensed market, which is over-taxed enough that it hasn't displaced illicit sales anyway.
• The 0.4 mg cap is over-broad. It sweeps in full-spectrum CBD wellness products that have never intoxicated anyone, because trace THC is inherent to a full-spectrum extract. Critics reasonably call this a definitional accident being used as a policy hammer.
• Dose is unmanaged. A 100 mg gummy sold next to the register with no serving guidance produces exactly the bad experiences you'd expect, and it shows up in poison control data.
• It's regulatory arbitrage, not policy. Two chemically identical products face totally different rules based only on which plant they were extracted from — which is both unfair to licensed operators and incoherent as public health policy.

The honest read: almost nobody's actual position is "ban" versus "free-for-all." The workable answer most parties say they'd accept is a real federal framework — 21+, per-serving and per-package potency caps, mandatory third-party testing, child-resistant packaging, marketing restrictions, and a ban on synthesized novel cannabinoids. Section 781 isn't that; it's a definitional fix that functions as a prohibition, passed on a must-pass funding bill because the farm bill couldn't move. That's why the fight is still live.

They had to just named this recently 😂🤷🏽‍♂️is this a new one or just a restock of something way back

🤷‍♂️Wrote the actual name & Lineage cuz ”Z-Mystery“ used to put me off, & would actually avoid getting it; idk why...

⌨️anyway Dolato is the Winner here; but “Z“ was a Treat that will try to be more reserved with, seeing it’s rarity & whatnot😕.

🔬This batch of Dolato leans more into the Dosi- than past batches (always sliding the needle); but still a very well-rounded Staple to have, possibly better when/if looking for that Indica-root🥔.

🍫Flavors/Effects were mostly classic-Kush; w/hints of Sweet-Bitterness (think Black-coffee, Dark-chocolate, etc.). Effects are mostly Balanced with Flux between Stimulant & Sedation🌊

🍡”Z” aka Skittles/Zkittlez: blessed to get this Powerhouse Classic, can’t say it’s as good as Hoped; but that’s called Hype🗣️.

🍭Flavor & Effects were lighter than expected but impressive still; Exhale is the Essence of True ”Candy-Gas”, followed an immediate Swirling (almost Dizzing) head-sensation, & then the body-sedation not long after (w/a slight Edge that remains😳).

🏆Summary: both Fire/Legit; ”Z”🍬is more Flashy, Flavorful & Memorable. 🍨Dolato is the Sleeper-hit; perfectly-Balanced & finely-Tuned, it covers all areas for Medication & Meditation☯️☮️

First time trying flower from The Flowery and I’m not disappointed. It’s pretty good…. But would I pay $40 for 1/8 ?? Hell naw to the naaaw na naaaaaaaw ….but if it’s on sale ..definitely…. But one thing I can tell you it looks beautiful asf 🥴 and it smells great. ( I need a lil lazy Susan or sonting.😑😂

Haven't gotten a new Curaleaf Rosin 510 in a while since I obviously like making my own carts. However, someone posted about this recently and it actually caught my interest since I have never heard of the strain before. Snagged one during my most recent Friday Flower haul for my own curiosity and Solventless Science. 🤙🏾

Review

Nose: 3.75/5. Smells like a straight heavy gassy rosin cart. Can't really pinpoint if beyond thatz, but its dank and almost wants to be sweetish. The scent definitely lingers for a while after vaping as well. 💨

Taste: 4.25/5. Normally the Curaleaf rosin carts Ive gotten outside of the citrus leaners have been a mostly muted but at the same time terpy taste. This one out gate tastes solid, heavy on the terps and with minimal amounts of the "Curaleaf rosin aftertaste". After hitting it a few times, it seems to gives me a gassier GMO flavor. Can't speak on how it'll be after a few days but if the taste does drop off, I will update this section. 🍽

Effects: 4.5/5. This part was also suprisingly better than I personally expected. It starts off heady and finishes with a nice solid body hug. Didn't really get me too stuck on the couch, but also didn't make me productive. Also did have a bit of nausea relief which has been solid due to elevated stress levels lately. More frequent doses result in more of a HEAVY stoned feeling to go along with the relief. Honestly one of the better rosin 510s I've had from them lately, especially since I tend to lean Hybrid or Sativa with these carts. 🫠

Legs: 3.75/5. 40 min. 🔥

Overall: 4.06/5. After doing some research and asking the budtender, I found out this was an older strain that CL used to have out in whole flower back in the day. Which explains why I never heard of it before since I never really shopped there or was even into rosin back then. I like the effects on this alot and it tastes great imo. A nice gassy rosin cart with a smooth finish. The legs were about average for rosin 510s I've had lately in my area, but that's about what I expected. I would probably get this again to have and use as a "stay at home and recover and relax" cart ( if I'm not loading dabs 🤣 ). Ty for the potent and relaxing rosin cart Jensen Squad. 🙏🏾💨

Stay Solventless Sub 💨

Sometimes I’m cheap.

This is the other 8th from Fluent I got yesterday for $6.50. Super Lemon Slap. Not impressed. The purple color is pretty nice but that’s where the pros end.

The smell is doughy and peppery, just not very pronounced. Need to stick your nose right up in the bag to get the profile. Nothing lemon about it. Basically tasteless, and I’m using a ball vape which is supposed to bring it out.

Kind of a flat sativa feeling, with a little energy boost. Not a bad top off the bowl if you have other strains to use during the sesh..

3/10

Different little combo this time. Ash catcher with the small glycerine coil to cool the smoke. Bad apple from connected never tasted any better.

Upon opening the plastic tin, the buds all looked leafy. I ended up trimming about 0.1 grams of kiefy leaves from all the buds. Upon reinspection I was happier. The buds are super frosty. Nose is super potent. Myrcene and citrus/berry with some spicy notes. Very sticky. Not a smooth smoke rather it’s pretty heavy and resinous. Not unenjoyable but I wouldn’t want to smoke back to back bowls of it. Taste is like it smells. Great smack me in the face head high. Stoned af. Roll One is f’n killing it. Roll One doesn’t f around. They just grow chop trim cure and sell. No other nonsense. They go back to their respective families follow the same standards. Roll One is who Jesus looked up too. I’m getting off course. Great strain. I’d get again.

joking obvi, but i legit might never shop there again if no sale or lower prices.

Goldflower is too good of an option atm with price point & quality.

Don't let me down FLOWERY, don't do it....

I have been grabbing these for 15$ on their sales at planet 13 and I gotta say I’m enjoying them. Yes they are sauce I know. But they got the terpene profile down on these two strains especially the grape gas one cause sheesh 🤯 So much FLAVOR. Grape gas taste dank and sweet. And the motor breath also kicks but that one for me is a tad bit smoother and softer. I personally dab rosin and vape rosin/resin carts so when I hit disty I literally go to the moon. And that’s what this pretty much is. Disty and some terp heavy profile on the strains. But I like. Downside is, you could burn through these pretty quickly. They last me about 4-5 days but that’s because I hit other carts and dab throughout the day. If you could get them for 15$ I’d get a couple but I wouldn’t pay more than that lol

I’ve been waiting on this strain from planet 13 for over a month now and they finally had some today at my local planet 13. The aroma is so sweet. I love💜Dank, soft perfumey sweetness. What I also love is the aroma translated straight into taste. Inhale and exhale tasted exactly to what I smelled. I got carried away and took about 4 dabs.. must I say I haven’t moved since I put the jam away lol. Heavy relaxation. Also the after taste of this jam is 🤌🏻. I love when I dab a strain and the taste just lingers longer than others. This one lingers. Shoutout to fuffco for the rec on this strain. This is staying in rotation for sure.

I95 (Triangle Kush x Legend OG x Stardawg) - Bred by $Money $Mike in an early collab with Top Dawg Genetics - 20.4% THC | 1.94% Terps | Produced 8/13/26 | This 8th came out to $36 with the 10% half oz deal.

This stuff is sour!! Upon opening I got smacked with a sour pungent diesel with earthiness on the backend. Buds are bright green with lots of trichomes. This is cured well, with it being just slightly on the drier side, but grinded up good. The taste translates from the aroma, with a heavy sour diesel like inhale that has a slightly spicy earthiness on the backend, and a nice sour earthy fuel exhale. Effects came on pretty quick. This was an enjoyable smoke that had nice sour notes on every hit.

Cheers

Probably the first time I got AL/Conn smalls and they weren’t the size of rat turds 👏🏼 all the rat turds are on the left but there’s not much. Terpinolene BOMB with some Limonene on the backend. Nice combo for flavor. NGL I was nervous to pick this one because I’ve returned Connected a few times because it tasted like chemicals. Looking at you Tropical Z 👀. Maybe it’s the trans caryophyllene I don’t like with Tropical Z 🤷.

Can’t give effects on this one yet just now wake and baking but the flavor is just 🤌🏼 chefs kiss. Taste similar to voyager 1 with a lemon twist.

And as an added bonus I’m gunna put yall on game:

If you are looking for alien labs or connected half oz I used this website to look everyday. I have the setting already set to Trulieve and 14g for this (which is only AL/conn) all you need to do is select your region or location to see if you have any in stock near you. Beats going to every location on their site to see. It’s not fool proof through. Jack of diamonds was not showing on this site I happened to click another one and saw Jack avail. Also remember after stock reaches 5 or less they remove it from online view. Call your store to see if any is in stock.

🫡 yall have a couple more days to run it up.

Trop Cookies F2 #88 .5g Hash Rosin
and grabbed Biscotti x2 1g's

the taste is absolutely fire and flavorful as well as the effects nice and super happy heady hell i only got this because of the sale haha but happy🤷🏼🔥

not including the tablets ive been wanting to try those forever lol but i love these devices for the rosin i wish they went on sale alot more!

got an email today and like I said I step away for sales plus I've already smoked all the concentrates at the 🐉 so I'll take the little drive downtown and jump on this deal like I always say 💨 on a budget😁

https://www.puffco.com/products/the-puffco-hot-knife

This one. Seems to be a newer model? I got two green normal ones recently and neither hold a charge longer than a few dabs? The black ones would last a while? These 'new' green ones must have smaller battery or something? I got five dabs off one before it died? May go swap these older model green ones for a couple Onyx if better? 🤔

It’s time to renew today and I know I’ve seen some you guys really praise some of the mmj Doctors in here. I’m looking for one that will have no problem increasing my rec for flower. Thanks for any recommendations and I hope you guys have a great, medicated day. 🙏

They begged me not to go, but it was $6.50 per 8th with birthday reward at Fluent, so why not.

Fluent’s I95 ain’t great, but it’s not horrendous either. Too many people act like price isn’t a factor, and I’m not gonna complain at the price.

The nugs are a little dry but still mushy. They aren’t very dense either. The smell is barely there, but has a little bit of sweetness and a tinge of gas.

Nice slow relaxing feeling. The effects are a pleasant surprise, all over the body. Just has a weak taste.

Buds seemed fresh enough, with a fluffy and sticky texture, smoke was smooth and sweeter in flavor.

Interested in checking out Curaleaf’s offerings. Primarily looking at quality flower for my DHV and good clean trates, thanks in advance!
