Puerto Rico Dispensaries Guide for Travelers

If you're traveling to Puerto Rico or you’re a resident, you may be wondering where you can go to buy marijuana and if there's any dispensary deals in San Juan yet, well we are working on it! The first medical marijuana dispensaries in Puerto Rico opened their doors in early January 2017, and even travelers can now legally buy marijuana products. Here is a list of marijuana dispensaries in Puerto Rico that are already open or coming soon, as well as some information about the laws and regulations on buying and consuming marijuana in this U.S. territory often visited by travelers.

Marijuana Dispensaries in Puerto Rico

There are weed dispensaries scattered throughout Puerto Rico and more are expected to open over the coming months. You can find dispensaries in San Juan and other popular destinations for travelers in Puerto Rico.

Clinica Verde is a  marijuana dispensary in San Juan. The capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan is the island’s biggest city and one of the most popular vacation destinations. They also have a dispensary in Caguas.

The Family Dispensary is a marijuana store in Bayamon. Located in the north coast valley area, Bayamon is home to one of three pedestrian-only suspension bridges in Puerto Rico. It's nicknamed the pork rind city, almost as if they knew those munchies were inevitable!

NextGen Pharma is a dispensary in Toa Baja. Toa Baja is also on the north coast, only a 15-minute drive from San Juan.

The Health Clinic is a dispensary in Barceloneta. The Manati Barceloneta river runs throughout the town.

Caribbean Green is a marijuana dispensary with plans to open in Guaynabo, which is a short drive south of San Juan. Check their website for updates.

Marijuana laws in Puerto Rico

Medical marijuana is now legal in Puerto Rico but recreational marijuana is still prohibited. The executive order to allow the medical use of marijuana in Puerto Rico was issued by Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla in 2015, but only recently have the first dispensaries opened shop. You may be surprised to find out that smoking marijuana, even medical marijuana, also remains illegal. Only marijuana products such as extracts, patches, pills, and other formulations that can be inhaled, ingested, or used topically are allowed.

If you're traveling to Puerto Rico you can shop at the marijuana dispensaries as long as you have a valid medical marijuana card from your home state. Residents just have to obtain a medical marijuana recommendation from a physician licensed to prescribe it by the Puerto Rico health department. At least 40 doctors have applied to issue medical marijuana prescriptions in Puerto Rico, and more than 2,000 people have already signed up and been approved for a Puerto Rico medical marijuana card.

Even though you're not allowed to smoke it, medical marijuana being legal in Puerto Rico is bound to ease the pains and brighten the spirits of countless residents and travelers.

Denver 420 Friendly Hotels

If you’re traveling to Denver from out of state and planning to take a marijuana tour of Colorado, chances are you’ll want to book a stay at a Denver 420 friendly hotel. While possessing and buying weed are legal for everyone here as long as you’re at least 21, public consumption of marijuana is restricted throughout the state. If you mess up and stay at a hotel that isn’t 420 friendly, you might find yourself hard pressed to find a safe place to smoke your weed. One of the highlights that draws tourists to Colorado is the promise of legal weed, but if you don’t have a good place to kick back and enjoy it, buying the weed is pretty much pointless. Fortunately, you don’t have to face that predicament, because they’re plenty of 420 friendly hotels in Downtown Denver from the 16th Street Mall hotel to the Convention Center hotel that will be happy to accommodate you. These hotels still only allow vaping indoors, but some have outdoor smoking areas where guests are welcome to spark one up.

Located only 10 minutes from Denver and 15 minutes from DIA, Denver East boasts free parking, free internet, an indoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, and free breakfast. You’ll also get free use of a Silver Surfer cannabis vaporizer to enjoy throughout your stay. Denver East is a new hotel that’s clean and welcoming, and best of all, you can score a room for as little as $129 a night.

Priced at $139 a night and up, Cherry Creek hotel is located near the Cherry Creek Mall and only a few minutes drive away from downtown Denver. Included in the price of your stay is the use of a vaporizer and other bonuses such as coupons for local dispensary deals. They have an indoor pool and the rooms are well-kept and appealing.

Priced at just $179 a night and up, Uptown Suites is a pet friendly and 420 friendly hotel in Denver that’s located in a historic building. Your stay includes the use of a vaporizer, and there is no additional fee required for pets. Another pet-friendly and 420 friendly hotel in Denver is City Center hotel. As the name implies, City Center hotel is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Denver. Special features include not only an open pet policy (with a $75 additional fee), but also an outdoor patio complete with a barbeque, fire pit, and amazing views of the sights and sounds of downtown Denver. There are also in-room kitchenettes, which could come in handy if you happen to get the munchies in the middle of the night and don’t want to have to go out to one of the nearby restaurants. City Center hotel is priced a little higher than the previous options at $239 a night, but the great location, patio views, and kitchenettes make it an excellent value.

Perhaps smoking the same flower you’ve always smoked just isn’t cutting it anymore and you’re looking to elevate your experience? If you’re anything like us, sometimes it takes a little more than the usual amount of weed to get that high you’re looking for.

Or, maybe there’s a special occasion that you’re looking forward to and need a little “special occasion smoke.” In either case, have you ever heard of Canna Cavi? It may be just the thing you’re needing, to take it up a notch or four.

What is Canna Cavi?

Simply put, Canna Cavi is premium flower (either an uplifting sativa, an indica, or a hybrid, depending on which you prefer) soaked in a cannabis concentrate hash oil, flavored with terps and usually rolled in kief. It’s basically caviar and/or moonrocks, all in one. It’s also the name of a specific brand that specializes in making these out-of-this-world products.

What is Caviar Marijuana?

When you think of caviar, what comes to mind? For us, it’s sophistication, caviar marijuana, or cannabis caviar as it's sometimes called, is often the same exact product as moon rocks. Like Canna Cavi, It's flower buds that have been soaked in hash oil, and usually (but not always) coated in kief. 

Sometimes caviar marijuana refers to marijuana that has been saturated in hash oil, but that does not have the added layer of kief on the outside. Moon rocks always have both the hash oil layer and the kief coating, whereas caviar always has the hash oil, but may or may not have the kief layer. To put it another way, moon rocks are always caviar, but caviar is not always moon rocks.

What are Moon Rocks?

Moon rocks are choice marijuana buds (a few terpenes and strains to choose from with these) that have been dipped in hash oil and then rolled in a layer of kief. Typically, only high quality top shelf marijuana is used to make moon rocks, as the whole goal is a highly potent product. 

Often, the bud will be coated in hash oil and kief produced from the same strain as the bud that's being utilized. Since moon rocks have the THC content of not just the bud, but also the hash oil and the kief, it can contain as much as 50%-91% or more THC.

Caviar vs. Moon Rocks – What's the Difference?

Moon rocks and cannabis caviar are relative newcomers on the marijuana market, and if you haven't tried them yet, you're missing out on an extremely powerful high. Both moon rocks and caviar are high THC marijuana products that exceed the buzz brought on by ordinary marijuana exponentially. 

So, what’s the difference between moon rocks and caviar? 

Essentially nothing, really. 

Cannabis caviar is almost always the same product as moon rocks, but not always. Caviar can come in many different shapes and forms, whereas moon rocks are more of a rock-like (imagine that) shape, covering the entire flower bud. 

Moon rocks are always going to have the hash oil layer, followed by a kief coating (that will vary to some degree, how much kief is actually on each moon rock).

Moon rocks (and caviar) have become quite popular in the Denver and Colorado areas, as people are looking for a new high, a new experience and a new product. Want to get even higher than usual? Moon rocks will do the trick.

How Do You Smoke Caviar or Moon Rocks?

Both moon rocks and caviar are pricey as well as delicate, so you'll want to take care how you're blazing it. If you have some caviar devoid of the kief outer layer, it might be a bit sticky or stiff to the touch. If you have moon rocks, there's a powdery layer of kief to contend with. 

• You don't want to waste any of that good THC, so handle with tweezers or a fork, something metal that won’t stick to the amazing cannabis stuff. 

• Then, place your moon rocks or caviar on a smooth, hard surface and simply cut off little bits to smoke using a pocket knife or metal nail file. 

• Don't pack the bowl too full or it will be hard to light, and tilt the bowl part of the pipe downward slightly as you hit it so that the liquified hash oil will stay on the bud in the bowl rather than running down into the mouthpiece potentially clogging your pipe. 

• Other than that, just smoke it as you normally would, just like a bowl topped with any type of concentrate.

You might want to go slow your first time smoking moon rocks or caviar; they have a reputation for knocking out even the most experienced stoners.

Where Can I Find Canna Cavi Near Me?

Unfortunately, we don’t have any current deals on Canna Cavi specifically, as it’s only available in some areas (ask your local dispensary where you can find it if they don’t carry it). However, we do have some pretty outstanding deals on both caviar and moon rocks, which we have seen grow increasingly popular in different dispensaries around Denver.

If you can’t find any good deals that catch your attention on caviar or moon rocks, you can also try making your own moon rocks! You can purchase the ingredients separately or make them yourself, and put them all together. Here’s what you’ll need for that:

• A large bowl of kief - If you don’t have any kief, or if you’re low, try purchasing some flower to make into kief. If you freeze your weed, you’re likely to get more kief that way, too.

• Your favorite cannabis flower buds - Running low on flower? Don’t worry, restock with some of our flower deals.

• Hash oil/concentrate - There are always some great deals going on with concentrates.

Now that you have all the ingredients, it’s time to put them all together!

Take your flower bud and remove all the stems, so you’re left with only premium bud. 

• Using tongs, take the bud and cover it with hash oil. You’ll want to do so using something like a distillate syringe or something that will easily disperse all the concentrate.

• After the bud has been entirely coated with concentrate, drop it into your bowl of powdered kief. With a poker, you can move the concentrate-covered bud around in the bowl to make sure kief is attached to all sides of the creation.

• Take the moon rock out of the bowl and allow it to dry. You can use baking paper or wax paper to do so. We also recommend you freeze the moon rocks to allow them to dry out (it’s all based on personal preference).

And there you have it - you’ve made your own moon rocks! It’s no Canna Cavi, but it's your own version of what they sell!

The modern age of marijuana has a different look to it. It has taken many different sizes, shapes, and forms in how you can enjoy the medicinal plant. THC can be extracted from the plant in its purest form. Sugar Wax THC is one of the most popular ways to enjoy marijuana concentrates. 

Learning about all the different types of concentrates at once can be a bit overwhelming, so in this article, we’ll focus solely on a type of concentrate called sugar wax. 

What exactly is it? Let’s dive in. Here are the basics of what sugar wax is, how sugar wax is made, and where to buy sugar wax.

What is Sugar Wax?

As “dabbing” becomes increasingly popular, manufacturers of concentrates continue to develop different types of dabs. The many varieties of concentrates can be confusing and a bit overwhelming if you're new to dabbing. 

A few types of concentrates:

• Shatter

• Live Resin

• Rosin

• Ear wax

• Ice wax

• Butter – just to name a few. 

Generally speaking though, a dab is a dab, which is a concentrated marijuana extract. The many types of concentrates or dabs are all very similar really, and the differences are mainly (for the most part) superficial. Different classifications of concentrates are primarily based on how the concentrate is extracted and on the consistency and texture of the end product. 

As for sugar wax, it’s a more solid way of extracting THC into concentrates. Much like shatter, sugar wax is refined using heat purging and vacuuming, which gives it a more solid, ‘sugary’ texture. This allows the THC and/or CBD to crystallize while keeping the terpene profile(s) intact. The THC extraction into sugar wax concentrate is very similar to how sugar is extracted from sugarcane, which gives it its name and resemblance.

How is Sugar Wax Made?

Here comes the “sciencey” part of our blog – sugar wax can develop naturally over time as the lipids in the wax begin to break down and separate from the cannabinoids, which causes the wax to crystallize. It can also result from condensation or other contaminants which get mixed in with the wax, or if the wax is overly agitated during production. 

Sugar wax can be the result of an accident or intention. Since many dabbers prefer the flavor and texture of sugar wax, some concentrate manufacturers intentionally produce it. Other times, what you see in the stores as sugar wax is of the accidental variety, resulting from a mistake in manufacturing or from an aging product. 

The quality of the sugar wax depends mainly on the potency of the marijuana from which it’s made, and not so much on how it's made, although a fresher wax is obviously preferable.

How is Sugar Wax Different?

Sugar wax is a marijuana concentrate with a full flavor and a slightly grainy texture. It replicates the look and feel of sugar, being cube-like in shape and being made up of tiny, glistening crystals. It's a little less messy than some of the other types of concentrates as it's a bit thicker and not quite as sticky. 

Many people prefer sugar wax for its richer, more complex flavor profile. Others will argue that sugar wax dabs are the best, as they’re easier to work with than other concentrates when it comes to using a dab tool. It also doesn’t take as much sugar wax THC to dab with – you can save the amount of concentrate you smoke by dabbing with sugar wax.

How Do You Smoke Sugar Wax?

Since sugar wax is a concentrate, you will want to smoke it, either through dabbing or vaporizing it or using it as a topper for any flower bowl or bong. While we don’t recommend the latter, sometimes it’s easier to carry around a glass pipe than it is a dab rig, unless you have a dab needle or something more portable.

Sugar Wax Weed

Don’t have a dab rig or perhaps you’re afraid of them for how high you get when using one? Then topping off your ground-up flower with some sugar wax is ideal – and cost-effective, as sugar wax and other concentrates cost less for the same amount of weed than flower usually would. This is one of the best ways to save money as a stoner. The other great thing about using sugar wax on your flower is that, since it’s not as viscous as other concentrates, it’s not going to make your piece so sticky. 

Sugar Wax Dabs

This is the most popular way to smoke sugar wax, is through “dabbing” or vaporizing. With an e-nail or coil pen that you can drop concentrate into, or a dab rig, which you can heat up and then drop concentrate into, sugar wax THC can be quite powerful, potent, and efficient. Less is more here, but it’s easy to just grab a few crystals at a time. You know the technique you use to tell the difference between salt in your cabinet and sugar? The same applies to when you’re dabbing sugar wax.

Spending time around cannabis is a much different thing when a dispensary is involved. As more and more states legalize cannabis, it occurred that many would-be legal or medical marijuana consumers and patients would have to learn the strains and products they are interested in and that provide the most benefit or experience. Naming weed strains is not always a good indicator for the experience or benefit, but in most cases, it can offer some clues. 

In this guide, we provide an overview of the top five things that can impact the naming of a cannabis strain: 

• Genetics

• Aroma

• Color

• The Year

• The Region

How Weed Strains Are Named

There are hundreds if not thousands of different strains. Some can be informative and others exist to be random or silly. There are more clues in the names as to what you can expect from certain strains than most people realize. These clues allow patients and consumers to approximate the experience or benefit a particular strain will have.

The Genetics of the Weed Strain

Naming a strain most often comes from a reference to the genetics of the two parent plants. By crossing or splicing the genes of two-parent plants, more robust flavors, complimentary experiences or benefits, and, in several cases, can contain larger amounts of THC and/ or other cannabinoids.

For instance, several strains can be found with “Kush'' somewhere in their name. This acts as a sort of suffix that can tell you a few different things. Generally, these strains are descendants of a subset of Indica plants that originally grew in the Hindu Kush mountain ranges between Afghanistan and India. Strains with the “Kush” qualifier will generally be more on the Indica side of the spectrum, known to produce a relaxed, euphoric side experience. 

This leads us to the question: What if a “Kush” strain was mixed with a Sativa strain, which is known for being energizing and uplifting. For example, the name of the strain “Lemon Kush” implies that both the strain has ‘“Kush” genetics, but that the strain Lemon G was crossed with it. 

This allows the strain to take on, for some consumers and patients, a relaxing yet uplifting, focused experience. This is what is known as a hybrid strain. 

The Aroma of the Strain

While we are on the topic of Lemon G, a Sativa strain, let’s begin the conversation on flavor as an aspect of naming a weed strain. 

In the strain Lemon G, the strain is named based on genetics, with the “G” comes from the strain “G13” and the “Lemon” comes from an unknown cross strain. But what is also very apparent is that lemon is a citrus fruit. Just by association, one could deduce the strain will have a citrusy, lemon-like aroma. 

While the aroma and flavor of a strain is entirely the work of the terpenes in the strain, these common associations to fruit, berries, and even candy are common in naming weed strains. And in most cases, you can smell and taste a bit of the fruit or food mentioned.

There are some less sweet-sounding strains as well. Sour, Diesel, Skunk, and Chem are common prefixes and suffixes of cannabis strains. 

These are some of the most common modifiers used in naming cannabis strains, as they imply a blend of earthy, pungent, and a “definitely going to fill the room with some funky” aroma. Moreover, these terms are largely references to strain genetics and can be (accurately) used as a selling point due to potency. These strains generally carry a high THC content and a bit more of an uplifting effect than some other strains, whether they lean more on the Indica or Sativa side. 

The Color of the Strain

Both genetics and terpenes impact the color of a strain. Color is not necessarily correlated to the aroma but can draw some inspiration. In the case of Grand Daddy Purple, known as “Grand Daddy Purp”, the leaves and buds are hued with the lush of lavender yet the aroma is something else entirely: a robust mix of earth, pepper, and berries or grape. 

In naming weed strains, the color is among the top modifiers. It allows for easy visual differentiation and is generally unique to each strain. However, only certain strains express purple or blue characteristics.  

The Year the Strain Was First Created

This is rare, but one popular strain that comes to mind is Pre-98 Bubba Kush. This hybrid strain utilizes the “Pre-98” to communicate to consumers and patients the strain has roots in cannabis history as one of the best strains around. While many strains consistently outmatch Pre-98 Bubba Kush, it is still a favored strain for its heavy body high and relaxing effect. 

The Region the Strain Was Grown

Concerning “OG”, as is seen in California OG, OG Kush, and many other strains, the most commonly pointed reason for naming marijuana strains with “OG” is that landrace Afghani genetics were grown in the climate of California, managing to grow in a much different climate than the Afghan mountains. 

Much like how wines, scotch, and other foods or beverages must be from a region to be considered authentic, OG is thought to explain the plants were not mountain-grown, as Afghani had been traditionally, but were “Ocean Grown”, relaying details, not about the strength of the strain, but the environment which it was grown. 

A Blend Of Terms Make Up Modern Strain Names

As noted above, naming marijuana strains is often a blend of not only genetics but generally several other factors.

And other good news: YOU CAN BLEND YOUR VERY OWN MIXES OF STRAINS!

Whether choosing to grow your own or buying a few different strains of dry flower from a local dispensary to mix to your flavor, color, aroma, and effect preference is what the legal market for cannabis allows. So we encourage you to shop not just based on any one single quality, but on many of the above naming criteria.
