The Premium Vape Pen

I have tried the Ejoint, I love my Gpen Mini and the Cloud Vape is surely in high demand but I have to say that by far the original Premium Vape Pen is my new favorite!!! It has a simple pencil-like shape, it is lightweight … And like most electronic vaporizers it is handheld- but unlike others this is DISPOSABLE! Just under 100 hits each, retail at about $35.00 each!!! Great for concerts and outdoor trips! There is no “loading” that you have to do, you simply begin to puff and enjoy your medicine: in the age of instant gratification, you can’t beat that!! Sometimes loading and unloading can be harder to do for some, so I think that alone is a great feature.

The Info below is from the distributors brochure! Also, I took the liberty of taking a few photos.b☺

The VAPE PEN™ is a delivery system for herbal extracts. Different plant extracts and herbs will boil or vaporize at different temperatures. By controlling the temperature, it is possible to release certain fractions in the formula by programming the temperature of atomization of each component.
At the heart of the VAPE PEN™ is an advanced microprocessor controller. This specially programmed chip monitors the temperature and timing of the low-temperature atomization process. Conventional vaporizers use a higher temperature to vaporize bulk materials. The VAPE PEN™ is capable of reaching and maintaining the exact temperatures suitable for health applications.

The advantage of low temperature atomization is that it minimizes oxidation of the herbs being inhaled. Because less of the active ingredients are degraded by oxidation, more herbal goodness reaches your body. This improved efficiency is the key to the lower cost of use and enabled us to achieve this marvel of miniaturization for your health and enjoyment..

The atomizer core and shell are constructed of surgical stainless steel and are RoHS certified. All components are made in an ISO 9001 certified factory with strict quality assurance. The VAPE PEN™ is assembled and tested in the USA.

As an advocate for more CBD enriched strains and products I was very pleased to see the amazing-actually, OUTSTANDING, scores the two strains received from SCLabs.

If you have time, click on the photo below of the test and enlarge it so that you may see it in detail.

If you have any questions on this product feel free to email me!!!

Why is October 16 so important for MMJ?PLEASE READ!!!!!!*repost*

Marijuana is currently accepted for medical use in 17 states and the District of Columbia, and although it has been proven that there are medical advantages the Obama administration and DEA have been unmistakably hard on this subject and it has still been classified as a ‘Schedule I’ to this day which puts it in the same category as LSD and other psychedelic aids and is defined as follows by the federal government;

  1. The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
  2. The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
  3. There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.

On October 16, 2012 an MMJ case will be heard for the first time in 20 years in front of the Supreme Court. I ask that you familiarize yourself with the case studies that informed the government of these new findings!

I am proud to say that I did post the article when it first came out because of how outstanding the findings were, kinda great it turned out to be something that really could change EVERYTHING…I knew it when I read it!!!!!!

Case name:

( Americans for Safe Access v. Drug Enforcement)

Official Press Release from American for Safe Access:
“The announcement of oral arguments comes just weeks after a study was published in The Open Neurology Journal by Dr. Igor Grant one of the leading U.S. medical marijuana researchers, claiming that marijuana’s Schedule I classification is “not tenable.” Dr. Grant and his fellow researchers concluded it was “not accurate that cannabis has no medical value, or that information on safety is lacking.” The study urged additional research, and stated that marijuana’s federal classification and its political controversy are “obstacles to medical progress in this area.” Marijuana’s classification as a Schedule I substance (along with heroin) is based on the federal government’s position that it has “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.”

Major Components of Cannabis

Major Components of Cannabis

  • Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9 THC) – It is the main psychoactive component of cannabis with mild to moderate painkilling effects. It also helps treat nausea associate with cancer chemotherapy and to stimulate appetite. It induces feelings of euphoria. Potential side effects include accelerated heartbeat, panic, confusion, anxiety and possible paranoia.
  • Cannabidiol (CBD) – It is a major, non-psychoactive component of cannabis that helps shrink inflammation and reduce pain without inducing the euphoria effects of THC. It has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, psychotic disorders and epilepsy. Larger amounts of CBD can relax the mind and body without causing negative side effects associated with THC.
  • Cannabinol (CBN) – It is a secondary psychoactive component of cannabis. It is not associated with painkilling effects of THC or CBD. CBN is formed as THC ages. Unlike the euphoria effects of THC, CBN can induce headaches and a sense of lethargy.
  • Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) – It is found primarily in strains of African and Asian cannabis. THCV heightens the intensity of THC effects and the speed in which the component is delivered, but also causes the sense of euphoria to end sooner.

Brownies!!

MARIJUANA BROWNIES

OIL METHOD

 Making Brownies at home with all of the normal items in your kitchen!!!!!!!!!

 

For brownies everyone suggests a different amount of marijuana to use but I think that really just depends on the quality of the meds; I prefer to use very potent meds and some people have left over trimmings or  some are using mid-grade meds.

If  you are going to use really potent marijuana be sure to a half ounce of your best and a full ounce if it is of trimmings and leaf or of a lower quality than what we would consider to be medical grade.

Always have a  really clean grinder to grind up the meds as much as possible into a very fine almost powdery-like texture.

Grab your wooden spoon and spread the marijuana into your 12 inch frying pan. Try to match your pan size to the size of whatever burner your stove has; that way it is cooked evenly throughout.  In regards to how much oil, be sure to just follow what the recipe asks for. Take that oil and pour it onto your powdery meds. Use a medium setting to get it to simmer; once it begins to simmer lower the burner to the lowest setting and leave it there for 2-6 hours- most patients do 2 hours first time around due to lack of patience… if you go a little longer, even just to 3-4 hours- I do believe the results are slightly more potent. Be sure to stir every 30-45 minutes!!!!!!

When it is done cooking you must now strain it through your coffee filter or a thin pasta strainerto remove any excess

marijuana/plant matter.

Once done straining you will have a medium to dark brown color oil and it should have no plant matter in it.

(The reason we  filtered out  plant matter was because there is no THC left ; it was extracted into the oil during the cooking process.)

Bake and Enjoy!!!
