You're probably asking yourself, what is a Delta 8 THC Tincture? As most cannabis products in this booming industry always have a rhyme and reason, the Delta 8 THC tincture is made from a single cannabinoid of the 100 or more found in the cannabis plant. Similar to other cannabinoids, Delta 8 interacts with your body's nervous system and may produce a hallucinatory effect.

If you're seeking a mood-altering experience or an exhilarating high, Delta 8 THC is your go-to tincture. While it gives you that euphoric feeling, it also offers a calming and relaxing sense to your body, which can greatly benefit symptoms such as nausea, anxiety, lack of appetite, pain, and inflammation and promote brain enhancement. Delta 8 THC tincture can be found at marijuana dispensaries--or even retail shops that sell hemp or CBD in non-cannabis states. Although not required, it can be prescribed by a medical physician who has diagnosed your condition and believes this product to be a positive path towards alleviating suffering and pain.

The Benefits of the Delta 8 THC

As the cannabis industry is progressing more and more these days, it's no wonder that the medical profession is jumping on board with prescribing THC products to their patients, especially those individuals who desire more of a natural method of treatment. Delta 8 THC is one of those lesser-known products in the cannabis world. However, after all the legalities of medical marijuana have been satisfied and complied with, it turns out that Delta 8 isn't so new after all.

Thanks to the hemp seed, Delta 8 is the fourth most researched cannabinoid in the world, specifically for its benefits. Let's take a look:

• A healthier brain - Delta 8 helps individuals produce Acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter responsible for cognitive functions.
• An appetite stimulant - Specifically for those with HIV/AIDS of certain cancers, Delta 8 helps a person want to eat.
• No nausea side effects - Delta 8 eliminates nausea, especially those undergoing chemotherapy.
• Less overall pain - The analgesic effects of Delta 8 means it lessens most pain to a certain degree.
• Reduces symptoms of anxiety - The CB1 pain receptors in the body are signaled to be lessened as the cannabinoid binds to--and regulates--them.

The high you experience on Delta 8 THC allows you to feel more in control versus other strains of cannabinoids that make you feel out of control. We understand that using marijuana to alleviate symptoms of illness or pain maybe cause confusion or even avoidance. However, the Delta 8 cannabinoid strain doesn't make your heart race or give your system a sense of being way too sleepy. Instead, whether you're smoking or vaping or using a tincture, the Delta 8 THC's benefits far outweigh the negatives.

How Effective is the Tincture versus Smoking or Vaping?

When you think of weed or pot, the first thing that comes to mind is smoking a joint or vaping. Both are viable forms of intake, and however, for the Delta 8 THC, a tincture is your prime choice to reap the benefits of marijuana's medicinal effects. Vaping makes you sleepy, and smoking makes you cough and affects your lungs adversely.

Enter the Delta 8 hemp tincture. Not only does this form play a role in food consumption, but any Delta 8 THC products offer top-notch goods utilizing blends of minor cannabinoids. The popularity of Delta 8 is on the rise, primarily due to the psychoactive benefits of this strain.

The tincture is an infused liquid that's placed under the tongue--aka The sublingual method. It's a hybrid product that not only relaxes you but makes you more sensory aware. We've determined that this is the best of all worlds for the Delta 8 tincture.

The effectiveness of Delta 8 is much like smoking a joint. You feel the euphoria, you feel the ease in your pain points, and you don't receive as much of the psychotropic effects as inhaling directly from a bong or a pipe. Instead, the tincture has many health benefits without all of the negative side effects.

What Are the Health Risks of the Delta 8?

Delta 8 is a federally legal product that can be shipped anywhere without cause for concern. Yet, the FDA has done their research and publicized their results as to some risks associated with the cannabinoid. For instance:

• The FDA has not approved the product for safe use
• Ingestion of food products of Delta 8 THC includes vomiting, loss of consciousness, and difficulty standing up
• Delta 8 has intoxicating and psychoactive effects
• To obtain marketplace status, Delta 8 products create concentrations that may include harmful ingredients or chemicals.
• Keep Delta 8 THC out of reach of pets and children, as they may experience dangerous side effects.

As you can see, there are risks involved in taking a Delta 8 product. However, for the relief of certain illnesses and conditions, the tinctures are known to be safer. Because of the added natural flavors, herbal extracts, vitamins, and whatever healthy substance you want to include in your mixed product, the Delta 8 tincture gets to work and minimizes pain and suffering.

In Summary

The Delta 8 THC tincture is one of the most sought-after products on the CBD market today. It's not easily accessible due to its psychoactive properties, yet with a medical directive from your doctor, you'll be able to reap the many benefits and relieve anxiety, depression, lack of appetite, and easing of muscular or joint pain. There are risks associated with Delta 8. However, the wellness positives far outweigh the hallucinatory negatives.

Ok so maybe it's a bit dramatic. But it's true. And it's what CANNAPAGES has been about since our inception 2009 -- saving money on marijuana by sharing dispensary weed deals with the (cannabis) world. None of us are old enough to have voted for Ronald Reagan, but if we had, we would have been pretty pissed at ourselves.

So how do you "Join the War on Expensive Drugs" then, you might ask? To respond, we'd say directly "it's easy as shit". All you have to do is use this website. That's it. Telling your friends about it wouldnt hurt, unless you're that dude with every kind of marijuana strain, wax concentrate, and edible to try under the sun who wants to keep his sources a secret. In that case, you'd also be kind of a dick. But do as you will! We don't judge.

Just to be brutally honest, the goal of this article is so that if you're in Denver at some point over the next few months, and you saw our billboard, and you would google'd "Join the War on Expensive Drugs" you would see something besides semi-lame bootstrapped YouTube docs (you're welcome) about the actual war on drugs. And yes we lumped all concentrates into "wax concentrates" in the last paragraph so we could link to that page -- and typed about it here again so we could link to it again. We also know there are more types of concentrates than wax, but that's not what the majority of you are searching for. Sorry. (We're really not.)

Here's one of our "Join the War on Expensive Drugs" billboards in Denver:

Happy December, everyone! 

Time for holidays and cheer. 

Or, if you’re anything like me, you’re feeling like it’s midnight at 6 pm. Oh, daylight saving, how annoying you are. 

But I’m no Scrooge! 

Being a cannabis consumer, you get tired. And with the evenings getting darker, bedtime starts calling. 

So, for us stoners, how do we kick up our energy whilst fighting the darkness and couch-lock?  Being the month we’ll need the most energy, no more chugging energy drinks. Let’s look at some of the best sativa strains for energy to get us through this busy holiday season.

Best Strains for Energy

All that holiday hustle and bustle can really strain you out and not the type of strain you’re looking for. These strains will help you be able to get all your holiday shopping done, decorate your home, and be able to sit through your Aunt Jan’s neverending story.

Banana Mango

Banana Mango is a scrumptious delight of a sativa strain. 

Being a cross of Banana OG, Mango Trees, and Blueberry Muffins; how could you say no?  This strain’s name says plenty about the flavor which is tropical, citrusy, creamy. 

The smells follow suit with the banana smells shining.

Banana Mango is a potent sativa that begins as soon as you exhale. 

The strain produces a creative flow of energy with tingly and euphoric motivation.

Nothing gets you ready to fight those lines at the stores like being a Jedi. 

You can do it, using The Force.

Blue Walker is a sweet-smelling bud having a fruit aroma that can put a smile on a room’s face. 

The effects are known to calm and re-energize. 

Much like the Jedi, you’ll have the focus to tackle the Darth Vader that is the holiday shopping season.

Bruce Banner

Speaking of geeky references, a sativa that will have you being the life of the party at those holiday parties is the smashing Bruce Banner. 

Bruce Banner is a cross between Strawberry Diesel and OG Kush. 

This strain averages a hulking 28% THC potency. 

It starts strong and mellows into creative euphoria. Bruce Banner is known to have stress/anxiety relieving effects which is great to get you dancing with your mother-in-law in no time!

Fruit Punch

Another fruity delight to help wisk you through the shorter days is Fruit Punch. 

This sativa-dominant strain is a cross between Northern Lights, Haze, and Skunk. 

Fruit Punch is named for its fruity/tropical flavors and aromas. 

This strain will jolt your mind with social and creative energy. 

This is extremely helpful when you don’t want to drink another energy drink or cup of coffee. 

It's pitch black at 5pm, so what?!?

Jet Fuel

Do you have some evening flights this holiday season and find yourself dragging along? 

Well, Jet Fuel is here to help with its gas-fueled energy.

Jet Fuel is one of the strongest sativas you can ever try.

Sweet, tangy Lemon Haze is an energy yielding strain that may be just what you need to get a late afternoon blast.

Lemon Haze is a cross between Lemon Skunk and Silver Haze. The taste and aroma is described as a crisp, fresh lemon. This sativa strain is another of the hardest hitting with effects of pure energy which helps mentally and physically. 

Lemon Haze leaves those who sesh down on it feeling happy and euphoric. This strain is known to turn around a bad day. Lemon Haze also helps with various aches and pains. It uplifts and will have you dancing while doing those chores around the house after work.

WIFI OG

It's time to turn off your WiFi and connect to WIFI OG. No password needed.

WIFI OG has a peppery, citrus flavor which is addicting. 

The effects will lift your moods with a euphoric head high. 

Creativity is often associated with WIFI OG so it may be a good time to bust out your favorite hobby while puffing on this strain.

So, hopefully, one of these energy-packing strains will help you adjust to winter. With those shorter days, we need our energy more than ever.

So, you’ve decided to dive into the cannabis concentrate world. It’s a different experience, but a good one, nonetheless! Experienced and novice canna-consumers alike enjoy the convenience of vape pens, both in terms of health and ease of use. But what should you expect when buying a cartridge for the battery you just bought? What are typical prices you can expect to pay for those delectable marijuana cartridges, like, for example, a 1 gram cartridge?

Kick back, relax, and let me get you informed on these wonderful devices.

What is a Cannabis Cartridge?

The marijuana cartridge (pen cartridge, THC cartridge, etc.) is a device that transports cannabis oils into your body through a glass tank/mouthpiece for a maximum cannabis experience (your high). 

These devices are speedy and efficient.
This advanced style of marijuana consumption is an incredibly popular and convenient method in the cannabis industry. When attached to a battery, the device is the equivalent of a pipe and lighter combo without the combustion or amount of stuff you have to carry.

What Goes Into a THC Cartridge?

When you’re looking for a cartridge, what exactly should you be looking for? What are they made up of and just how much THC is in them?

Types of Oils

Let’s start with the types of oils you can find within THC cartridges.

CO2

CO2 is a special solvent-based cannabis oil. CO2 is seen as a natural solvent and offers a healthier alternative to butane-extracted cannabis oils.
CO2-based oils are achieved by using extremely high temperatures with high pressure. These oils require extremely specialized equipment to extract.

Distilled

Distilled cannabis oils are made through the process of, you guessed it, distillation. 

Similar to how whiskey is made, cannabis distillation is achieved through fractional, short-path distillation. 

The process begins with raw cannabis oil and is purified through winterization and decarboxylation. 

Full-Spectrum

Full-spectrum cannabis oils contain various cannabinoids in the oil. 

It can be a mixture of CBD, THC, CBG, THCa, THCV, etc. These kinds of oils are some of the best in terms of overall healing properties.

Different Sizes of Cannabis Cartridges and Average Pricing

Marijuana cartridges typically come in 500mg (half-gram) or 1000mg (full-gram) sizes with smaller cartridge variants coming in a disposables category. 

500 mg (half-gram) Cartridges

• Tend to get between 60-150 puffs per lifecycle (depending on use & length of puffs)

Half-gram cartridges are the cheapest of the sizes. 500mg Cartridges range in price between $20-$40 in Colorado. 

1000 mg (full-gram) Cartridges

• 1 gram cartridges tend to get between 150-300 puffs per lifecycle (depending on use and length of puffs)

1 gram cartridges in Colorado range in price from $40-$70.

Pricing Influences On Cartridges

There are a few reasons prices can vary when you’re looking for cartridges, whether it’s a half gram or 1 gram cartridge.

Taxes

In Colorado, retail marijuana has taxation of 15%. 

With the addition of such a tax, expect to pay at least that much more when looking at menu prices.

Potency of Strain

The amount of THC present in the cartridge can drive prices high. Looking for potent strains? Expect to pay a little more.

Specific Brands

Certain brands can influence cartridge pricing. 

Some companies offer specialty batteries and cartridges which only work with that specific brand.

Current deals on cartridges are:

• 16, 500mg Sesh cartridges for $190.56 (Limited time deal)

So maybe you’re new to the weed thing or have decided to smoke again after a long break. Either way, you have decided to buy some weed. You head down to the local dispensary and point out the strain that looks most pleasing to you. 

The budtender tells you that they have specials on eighths. 

You have no idea what he’s talking about. He might as well be speaking a different language. How much weed is that? Is that a good price for weed?
Some of the stoners out there definitely know the lingo from before marijuana was legal. 

It’s probably the most common thing dealers would sell. 

Nowadays, those less familiar with marijuana are giving it a try. 

So if you fall into this category, don’t be ashamed. 

We all didn’t know at some point or another. After all, the customary system vs metric system can be confusing.

Let’s get you up to speed on what an eighth is and how much an eighth of weed really is.

What Exactly is an Eighth of Weed? 

Ah, yes. The marijuana eighth. 

Truly an old popular stoner favorite. 

For the newbies out there, an eighth is the most common measurement for weighing marijuana. The term, “Eighth”, or ⅛, simply is the shortened way of saying one-eighth of an ounce of cannabis.

In Colorado, the legal limit to sell any one person (without a medical card) is one ounce. This weight system helps the marijuana industry stay in compliance and not over-sell to anyone. The most common weights for marijuana are grams, eighths, quarters, half-ounces, and ounces. Depending on the smoking method used, an eighth of weed will usually last between 8-10 bowls.

Okay, So How Much Does an Eighth Weigh?

An eighth of weed weighs about 3.5 grams. 

It won’t always look the same, however. Sometimes the jar looks incredibly full and other times it looks like the budtender forgot to give you some. 

Cannabis buds (the part you smoke) tend to vary in density and overall size from one strain to another. Someone’s eighth might only be made up of one big nug. While you might have one with lots of tiny nugs. 

Each batch is new and exciting to check out.

For the best reference, that eighth of weed will more or less get you between 3-7 joints (depending on how big you roll them). 

Happy smoking!

How Much is an Eighth of Weed and What You Can (Typically) Expect To Pay

In Colorado, this is going to depend on the city you live in. Each county has different rules and regulations when it comes to marijuana. 

Whichever pricing you see whether online or in-store do not always account for the individual city’s sales taxes.

Though here in Denver, you will find some of the best prices the country has to offer. 

An eighth will typically cost you between $15-$50 dollars (depending on quality and sales promotions at the time). 

Pricing of eighths and other marijuana weights can also depend on the kind of strain you pick out as well. 

Potency is usually a big factor when determining pricing for marijuana. The higher the THC percentage, the higher the price. The lower the THC, the lower the price. 

Many dispensaries offer different tiers when selling their cannabis to be pretty wallet-friendly.

And at the end of the day, simple supply and demand will determine the price of your marijuana on any given day.

I’ve got yet another scenario for you today. 

Ready? 

So, as you're driving home from work, you think to yourself, I want a dispensary treat. You’re thinking about rolling up a joint or two when you get home. 

As you start to think about the rolling process, you decide you want to be lazy. 

After all, you worked all day. You don’t want to add work to smoking too. 

So, you decide you’ll grab a joint or two instead, but how much do joints cost? 

How much weed goes in a joint?

Never worry, as always, we will be your guide on joints and what joints cost near you.

What is a Joint?

As Cheech once said, “That’s not a joint, that’s a quarter pounder!”.  

Joints are as iconic for cannabis culture as Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. 

Whoa, man!

Joints (pre-roll, spliff, doobie, fatty, etc.) are delightful portable little cannabis utensils that allow you to have a smoke sesh at your convenience. 

Joints are made up of ground-up marijuana buds, rolled thinly with special rolling papers. 

When provided by a dispensary, oftentimes joints will come with a filter which is also known as a crutch. This keeps the joint stable and keeps your lips/fingers from getting burnt. 

But are they worth it? 

Our opinion: YES.

How Much Weed Is In a Joint?

An average joint has between .32 grams to a full 1 gram depending on how they were rolled. 

If someone rolls a joint by hand, this can vary widely. 

If your joint was rolled by a dispensary, likely it's either a half gram (.5) or 1 gram in weight. Though some specialty joints do exist, products vary. 

Why Smoke a Joint?

There are plenty of reasons to choose to smoke a joint compared to other weed products that are out there. 

Here are a few reasons:

A Full Flavor Experience

Joints allow you to taste and feel your flower’s terpenes. 

This not only busts your overall high but can taste great while doing so. 

Rolling papers are known to be non-toxic and some are even made from rice.

Portability

Joints are a discreet and easy-to-transport kind of marijuana product. 

They allow you to carry nothing else but a lighter. Just throw the crutch away when you're finished!

Socialization

The absolute best way to enjoy marijuana is with some people. 

Rounds of joints are good for opening up all kinds of wacky conversations with people you’d maybe not have talked to. 

If you pull out a joint at a gathering, you’re sure to meet someone.

So, How Much Does a Joint Cost?

Joints are going to vary based on weight, size, and whether those joints have special ingredients (moon rocks, kief, hash, etc.).

In Colorado, joints cost between $5-$10 dollars based on the tier of the shelf the flower came from. For a full gram joint, prices get between $10-$18 dollars once again depending on the sales tier.

Joints, along with all the marijuana products in Colorado, do have a state tax attached so just bring a couple of dollars extra. 

For pre-rolls, this doesn’t make it cost too much higher.

Hope this helps you with everything joint-related.

Now you know how much a joint should cost in Colorado.

When you wake up and look in the mirror you see your own reflection looking back at you.

Nothing too strange is happening here; you smile, the reflection smiles back. You pick up your toothpaste and begin to give your chompers the morning scrub down. Your reflection does the same. You set the toothpaste and toothbrush down and spit into the sink. Something’s off though...the reflection is still brushing their teeth although you have stopped. Then it dawns on you, this isn’t a reflection at all!  

It’s a clone!!  

A clone of you and you’ve been bamboozled because your clone replaced the mirror with a window and was pulling pranks on you! 

Then you remember about that one time you volunteered for a study with the Swedish genetics lab for some quick cash to buy an ounce of top shelf primo chronic and you realize that “you” are no longer the only “you” running around in the world anymore. A large price to pay for that bubonic chronic.  

Luckily, you wake up again in your own bed and remember you never did volunteer for that offer from the Swedish lab because you have Cannasaver to provide you with all the low cost, high quality chronic you need! 

Just like these deals on top-shelf ounces! 

But what was up with the clone from your dream?  

Did you forget to turn the oven off before you passed out from those edibles you ate the night before?  

Is your dog still at the groomer?  

Did you get paper towels at the grocery store?  

Oh yeah!  

You need clones to start your phat indoor tent grow but you forgot where your buddy said to go get the best ones!  

Fear not, friends!  

We’ve got your back at Cannasaver and will give you the lowdown on how much they cost, where to find clones and the difference between starting from seeds or grabbing some babies from a dank momma plant. 

Where to Find the Clones to Grow On Your Own

Back in the day before cannabis was legalized, getting clones could be quite an ordeal.  

You really needed to know someone who was super cool and had a nice Mother Plant or a seed from a bag and had started it to make a nice Mother Plant.  

Am I talking another language to you?

You can find out more in our blog The Difference Between Clones and Seeds about how to make clones from a Mother Plant or how to start a seed and make one yourself.  

Luckily today, in our weed-friendly, weed-legal society, most dispensaries have some options for clones!  

We recommend giving a call ahead of time to ask a budtender if the one you like to support and shop with carries them.  

The next question you should ask yourself is what kind of cannabis would you like to grow?  

A stanky, danky indica that will chill you out after a long day and leave you feeling like a fresh-baked apple pie hanging in Grandma’s window?  

Or would you like a sativa dominant that will spark your creative synapses and make you want to paint the next Picasso?

Both are great choices and if you’d like to know more check out the blog on Sativas vs. Indicas. 

Recommended Clone Strains

Here are a couple strains of each we recommend for your grow:

Indicas

Looking for something on the heavier, sleepy side? Indicas are your “grow”-to:

White Rhino

This is our top pick for an easy to grow, potent, and high-yielding choice for an indica clone.  

It’ll give you a great skunky, gassy smell with a nice potent kick. 

It is great for people who have trouble relaxing or sleeping at night.

Blueberry

This strain is another great pick for a dank indica to grow yourself.  

It won the 2000 Cannabis Cup for ‘Best Indica’ and has a flavor that will rock your socks right off into the laundry, dry em’, and put them back on your feet without you even realizing they left.  It’s got a great yield as well and is a very hearty plant with nice dense buds. 

Sativas

For something a bit more “uppity” here are some sativa clones you’re bound to like:

Super Silver Haze

Wowwwwiieeee! 

That’s what we have to say about this heady sativa strain.  

It grows nice and tall with some great bud spacing.  

It’s one of the best daytime smokes we have ever had and has won multiple cannabis cups across the world.  This tried and true strain has never done us wrong and we wouldn’t recommend it to you if we didn’t think it would do the same for you. 

Blue Dream

This is another great sativa that has a nice blueberry smoke flavor.  

It’s a great way to have that fruity taste with a daytime high that’ll keep you rockin' and rollin' from morning all the way into the evening.

How Much Will These Clones Cost Me?

After reading about how great clones are and how easy they are to start vs. a seed, you may be asking yourself, ‘How much is this gonna cost me?’  

Well if you guessed thousands of dollars to start your own crop you would be wrong, unless of course it’s some prized genetic that only one guy has and will not give to anyone.  

For the most part, clones are generally around $25 per plant.  

There are some variables that can change the price, the size of the clone, the rarity of the clone, and how many clones you’re looking to buy.  

A lot of dispensaries will offer discount pricing on multiple clones.  

For example, 5 for $100.  

We recommend checking out our page regularly for updates on the best clone deals in Denver.

Howdy, howdy, and thanks for stopping by ye’ ole blog.  

This time on learnin’ stuff with Cannasaver, we’re going to go in on smoking and consuming different types of cannabis concentrates – more specifically, how to smoke concentrates. 

This includes but is not limited to: dabs, hash, hash oil, butane hash oil, Co2 concentrates, bubble hash, kief, shatter, sauce, diamonds, wax, budder, and probably a few more that we may not have even heard of. 

Check out hot deals on some of these different forms of tasty, dankadelic THC concentrates.

Before we tell you about how to smoke these tasty treats, let us explain some of the differences between each form of concentrate. 

The main difference in each style of concentrate is the way it is extracted from the plant itself.

Main Extraction Methods 

The history of making dabs has a long history dating back to the earliest of civilization. 

The First Extractor 

The first recorded method of hydrocarbon extraction can be dated back to creating asphalt used in the walls and towers of ancient Babylon.  

Hydrocarbon Extraction

This method of extraction is one of the most popular and efficient ways to turn your trim or flower into a clean, potent cannabis concentrate. You may have heard horror stories of garage hash labs exploding but with the proper equipment, training, and safety protocols hydrocarbon extraction is one of the most efficient and cleanest ways to produce a variety of delectable extracts. This type of extraction is able to make a variety of different types of concentrates from wax to shatter to diamonds.

Ice Hash

This method of extraction is a great choice for producing different types of hash through a temperature and physical agitation combination to remove and collect THC from the plant matter being processed.

Co2 Extraction

Using pressurized Co2 this method of extraction makes a variety of different concentrates as well. The plant matter is placed into a stainless steel tube that is able to withstand high pressure. The Co2 gas is forced through the plant material and the THC and cannabinoids are separated and isolated to be converted into different forms of shatters and hash products.

How to Smoke your Concentrates

With so many different forms and styles of extracts choosing a method of consuming them can be a process. We are here to share some of our favorite ways to smoke those tasty extracts that send your high into orbit.

Cartridges and Batteries

In recent years there has been a major increase in the number of ways to consume Cannabis and Cannabis extracts.  

One of the most popular and convenient ways is by purchasing a cartridge that is filled with potent extracted Cannabis and terpenes. 

There are so many great flavors and potencies for all the different types of weed cartridges that you can pick from. 

Check out our deals on weed cartridges and find something new to try out. 

Using a cartridge is a great way to smoke on the go and avoid making a sticky mess that sometimes comes with other methods of consuming extracts.

Load Some Wax Onto Your Flower

This way of smoking gives you the best of both worlds. 

Tasty flavorful flower and potent terpene-filled concentrates blend together to give you a tasty smoke that is easy to do without purchasing any new smoking equipment. 

Check out our selection of wax and concentrate deals to give this method of smoking a go for yourself.

Nails and Bangers

These are two of the most popular ways that people use to smoke their shatters and wax concentrates. 

You will need a special glass bowl piece and downstem for your bong or bubbler.  

To smoke your wax you take a torch and heat up your glass bowl. Once the bowl has become hot enough, usually around 200-215 degrees, you place your wax onto the hot nail or glass and smoke away. This is one of the best ways to smoke your concentrates and experience the full flavor profile of the waxes and shatters that we all love so much.

Roll Some into a Joint

To smoke with this method you can take a piece of wax and roll it out into a small log. 

You then roll the wax log into a joint with your favorite flower and as you smoke down the joint you’ll get puffs of that wax log throughout the whole joint. 

Taking the joint to a concert and smoking down with your friends is sure to get you all higher than a giraffe's bowtie.  

We hope you learned some new information here with us today about smoking concentrates and want to go try some out for yourself.  

If you have any other ways you like to smoke down on your favorite extracts let us know!

Cheers,

Cannasaver=

We can’t talk about Halloween without candy! 

Candy Kush is a balanced, 50/50 hybrid. 

This strain is a cross between Trainwreck and OG Kush. Candy Kush is known to produce incredible munchies. Make sure you have a big bag of candy to pair with this Halloween weed strain.

Frankenberry

This strain may just throw you back to your favorite childhood Halloween cereal. 

Frankenberry has a strong strawberry aroma which will immediately make your mouth water. This hybrid strain is very stimulating and allows your mind to wander. A perfect pairing for Frankenberry would be to watch a horror movie and feel the ghostly sensations of the night. With an average of 15-20% THC potency, Frankenberry is a Halloween smoke that will allow you to enjoy the night and destress. Known to provide chattiness and uplift your mood. Make sure to bring some friends along.

Ghost OG

Ever wanted to feel like a ghost, but not die first? 

Ghost OG will provide a nice, floaty body high with a strong sense of focus. 

Need a reason to devour candy this Halloween? 

Ghost OG is the perfect strain to get your munchies on. 

Though Ghost OG is an indica dominant strain, it will induce strong giggles, energy, euphoria, and socializing after a sesh of this. 

Ghost OG is truly the perfect Halloween weed strain for telling spooky campfire stories with your friends.

Jack the Ripper

Named after the mysterious serial killer, Jack the Ripper is a sativa dominant hybrid strain. 

Jack the Ripper is the cross between Space Queen and Jack’s Cleaner. 

Jack the Ripper has an enjoyable lemon scent with a creamy and tangy taste. 

On Halloween night, Jack the Ripper will give you cerebral effects to keep you going.

Jack Skellington

This is Halloween! This is Halloween!

And who better to tell you than the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington. 

It is a sativa-dominant strain crossed with Killer Queen and Jack the Ripper. 

Jack Skellington has a surprisingly pungent fuel/earthy aroma and fruity in taste. 

You can count on Jack Skellington to provide increased energy levels. If you’re experienced, this strain will elevate your Halloween experience.

Pennywise

Hello, Georgie! 

This clownish strain is a must for consumers craving a nice sedative/relaxing effect. 

Pennywise may sound quite horrifying if the demonic clown scared you but the indica heavy hybrid is 15% THC and CBD in potency. 

We all float.

Witches Weed

Witches Weed will put a spell on you. 

And now you’re high.

Witches Weed was certainly brewed in a cauldron. 

Witches Weed’s combination of Chem D, Valley OG Kush, and Cinderella 99 make the strain a strong sativa with yummy fruit flavors. 

With a 22% THC potency, Witches Weed may not be for the inexperienced. 

The high can be unpredictable and for some, this isn’t fun.

Zombie Kush

Brains! Brains! Oh no, here come the Zombies.

Big fan of Resident Evil, Dawn of the Dead, or Walking Dead? 

This potent indica strain is a classic choice for Halloween. 

After a crazy night, Zombie Kush will allow you to just shuffle to a good horror movie, get together your candy bars for a late-night treat.

Zombie Kush will then slowly erase any stress you might have. A couch-locked body high will take control, keeping you nice and comfy until bedtime.

Toke or Treat! A Guide to Halloween in Denver

Howdy, y’all, and welcome to the spookiest season of them all. 

The best time of the year for some and home to our favorite spooktacular, Halloween.  

With things beginning to reopen we at Cannasaver thought it would be a fine idea to inform you of some going-ons around the Denver area.  

We’re also going to tell you about some groovy weed-themed Halloween games and activities if you feel like staying at home and handing out candy to the kids.  

Light up a doobie and get your reading glasses on!

Parties and Concerts 

If you and your posse are looking to go out and hit the town this Halloween we have tracked down some parties that are sure to be lit!  

Coloween 

This will without a doubt be one of the biggest parties in Denver for Halloween this year.  

With Halloween falling on a Sunday most events are happening on Saturday, October 30th.  

This lets everyone party hearty without having to go to work Monday morning with a hangover.  Although that doesn’t mean you can’t prove us wrong and go hard both nights!  

The theme for this party is Multi-verse.  

A theoretical reality that includes a possibly infinite number of parallel universes. 

When you look in the mirror beyond your reflection, what do you see? 

What does your reflection see? 

An intergalactic superhero? An evil villain? A space cowboy? A naughty librarian? A vampire bunny? A forest fawn?

All are welcomed at Coloween!  There will be live music, a $1500 costume contest, and drinks to be served. 

Get your tickets because this will sell out for this one so get them while you can!  

Paranormal Palace 2021

WOW!! 

Talk about a Halloween party!! 

These guys do it up over at Paranormal Palace!  They have been throwing the party for over 10 years!! The best part?  It’s all for charity.  This party has some very cool attractions.  Multiple live DJs, a $2000 costume contest, a free open bar that is included with your ticket price.  Don’t let the higher than average price tag detour you from considering this party for your Halloween celebrations!  In fact, you could check out some of our smoking hot deals on flower this month to save some money for a ticket.  Check out their event page for tickets and more details on this PARTAY!!

Dumpstaphunk at Cervantes' Other Side

If live music and groovy boogie get-downs are more your squeeze, we recommend checking out Dumpstaphunk at Cervantes’ Other Side!  

These guys play some really stellar music to smoke to and dance with.  

The venue is smaller so you won’t have to worry about a huge crowd to spoil your high.  

There is a great bar here and it’s encouraged to wear costumes.  

Tickets can be found at the link.

Halloween Bash with the Motley 2 at The Venue

Start growing your hair out now so you can come shake it out this Halloween with Motley 2 at The Venue.  

These guys are one of the best cover bands around!  

Throwback to the ragin’ ’80s and come get down with some drinks and tokes this Halloween at The Venue.  

Costumes are encouraged but not necessary.

Stay Home and Smoke

Maybe going out to a bar or concert isn’t your jam this year?  That’s cool too.  

There isn’t a single reason you shouldn’t feel chill about staying home and rolling one up by yourself, with some friends, or some spooky spirits that decided to stop by for the sesh.  

One game we like to play is called Sponsor a Trick or Treater.  

In this game, every time you have a kid come to your door and give them candy, you eat a piece too.  

Check out our great deals on edibles this month from Cannasaver.  

Another game you and your friends can play is called “Weed billiards”. 

Here in the game you and your friends take turns to draw the best Pot leaf you can! 

It is much harder than you would think. 

For extra fun, everyone has to ante up one weed nugget and the person who draws the best leaf gets the whole shebang.  

We do this at Cannasaver even on non-holiday celebrations! 

We hope you will enjoy the tradition as well.

Happy Halloween folks!!
