Florida Jack by Grow Sciences

There’s some carry on that Florida Jack. Early on, it was a weeper. Let it flow. I welcome and appreciate any time cannabis makes me emotional. It’s part of the process. It’s part of the high. You have to be ready for it, especially if there are things on your mind worth crying about, worth getting out. Weed can be a very direct, effective, expeditious form of therapy.

I was emotional, but in a happy, satisfied, head-on kind of way. After that, I thought the effect of smoking Florida Jack was fading.

Then the effects unfurled their second act. This is an example of why I need to give each joint enough time to do it’s thing. And why I shouldn’t drink so damned much, ever—but especially when I’m trying to size up a new strain.

I suddenly found myself with nowhere I had to be. No company coming over. Nothing on the to-do list. Time was passing but I had a notebook and a pen and I was sitting on the edge of a hand-me-down twin bed in the back bedroom of this house my in-laws bought ten years ago in the desert. I was writing lyrics to a song no one was ever going to hear, not until now.

Eventually the Florida Jack yields a latent buzz, a pleasant buzz.

Talent neat nettle.

Mettle a molten lantern, this rental’s eternal...

Dispo Review: Star Buds, University City, MO

I like Star Buds. The building it's in has never had a persistent tenant. It once was a bar but as far as I can remember, the building has been empty for most of the last fifteen years. I would point to Star Buds' tenancy in this previously disused building as one of the early positive impacts legalized cannabis has had on my neighborhood.

There is a small parking lot in front, which is the only place I've ever parked. There is additional parking in back but I've never had to use it. I go in, go up a few stairs, wait for a bud tender to come to the window, then slide my ID onto the metal tray under the thick window. Then in a moment or two they will call your name and buzz you through the door.

It's not a big place but I've never felt crowded inside. There are two main glass cases/counters in which dozens of glass jars of flower sit.

And this is one of the best things about Star Buds. You can buy by the gram. The flower is not pre-packed. You can see the bud, you can smell the bud. The jars have the names of the strain on them. Supply and variety has been pretty good.
