Two hits, a hot shower, one or two more hits, and total relaxation of body & mind follow. Helped more with intrusive thoughts and anxiety than pain, but I found myself too relaxed to care.

I don’t have the proper words to describe the taste — maybe earthy? What it tastes like is how it smells when you open the top of a tropical fish tank, the smell of algae and whatever. It both relieves inflammation and makes my neck and shoulder muscles tight. Hitting the disposable vape multiple times led to nice movie watching evening (Road Trip — it’s your dog!). Colors appeared way more vivid. Hitting it a few more times made me sleepy, and I fell asleep faster than usual. Also did not have trouble falling back to sleep when I got up to use the bathroom. Still early in my vape exploration, so I don’t know quite how to feel about this one. I definitely don’t see concrete positive results and effects as I do with Pineapple Express and Northern Lights. At this point I don’t think I would repurchase, but I will keep it around to revisit.

This was experienced with a Heavy Hitters disposable pen purchased from Torrey Holistics. My prior positive experience with cannabis was via either brownies made with Big Pete’s Indica cannabutter or Camino by Kiva gummies. Both helped me to relax physically to one degree or another and also added some mental calm and quiet. However, nothing had helped me fall asleep and stay asleep. Typically I would doze off quickly with brownies or gummies, awaken middle of the night to use the bathroom, and my mind wouldn’t quiet back down … intrusive thoughts definitely suck. So then I’d be awake for a while, maybe reading to go back to sleep, but then tired in the morning. And each night I’d have my share of exhausting dreams. I took two hits from the pen, came back inside to my sofa, and within a few minutes I could feel the gentle heaviness in limbs similar to that brought on by my brownies. That night I did not fall asleep as quickly, but stayed asleep longer and fell back to sleep immediately after restroom visits. It’s a little too much for mid afternoon, as it definitely slows my brain down, but in a very pleasant way. There’s a calmness and clarity of thought that I didn’t think possible. The routine now seems to be a few puffs a few hours before bed, then one maybe two right before. More causes some anxiety, which I’m trying to escape. Mornings are much more pleasant for me since my sleep is more sound. I wouldn’t say this makes me feel sleepy, as much as it removes obstacles from my sleep. I don’t have a discerning palate at this point, so I will just say that the taste was pleasant and very little if any coughing.

Whether I have a pickup order like today, or do my shopping in the store, it’s always a solid experience. Alexis helped me today and she was wonderful. Fortunate to have found Torrey Holistics.
