Mother’s Day comes but once a year, so you better not forget your mom! If you have forgotten your mom in prior years, I’m pretty sure you won’t want go through that again, should you forget, yet again. Please, don’t forget your mom! (Or your wife...)
Yes, I know that it’s nice to take your mom out for lunch or dinner- maybe not right now, especially if your state is involved in the essential lockdown situation pertaining to the Coronavirus, then please let me suggest flowers?
No, not the flowers you were thinking about. I want to tell you that roses are nice, but please don’t get me wrong. You can buy your mom (or your wife) flowers if you wish. You should do that without being prompted for personalised gifts Mother’s Day online. In New Orleans they call this lagniappe. That sweet coating on the back of a spoon. Something like the muggles. What are the muggles? The muggles are cannabis flowers.
When I say flowers. I’m calling attention to Cannabis flowers, for mom!
The flowers that I’m discussing are flowers from some of my favorite brands of cannabis. No, I don’t write about orchids or roses, but I do write about the plethora of brands of cannabis brands that I’ve enjoyed over the past months. This lengthy list of growers and packagers are all important to me because it’s what I like to smoke. I have plenty of favorites and favorites not yet tried, that’s the way of cannabis in my opinion.
And mom? If she smokes cannabis, she’s much cooler than my mom. Let me assure you on that one.
To start things off rolling, I’m quite fond of the high-end cannabis dispensary named SPARC located in San Francisco. Their home-grown by Marigold, Triple Chocolate Chip is a luscious cross between Mint Chocolate Chip and Triple OG. This is truly IN THE COUCH cannabis that will put your mom down faster than that bong hit you had first thing in the morning. Deep approval for this company. I dig them.
Garden Society: I love their flowers and their love of our plant. Not just because they come rolled in just the right size for one person. They’re just fun! Since we are social-distancing and not sharing joints any longer, their intimately small joint is just perfect. Why is this important? I don’t smoke too much at one time and what I do enjoy is fresh from the first puff to the last. Win/Win!
If your mom is into truly esoteric cannabis flowers grown by a woman, beeline a path to California where you really should locate Moon Made Farms. Tina Gordon is weaving stories of complex beauty in every organic, sun-grown cannabis flower grown on her extensive farm. Mom deserves the very best, doesn’t she? I think so. Buy some today.
Danny Murr-Sloat inspires many moms as the famed owner of AlpinStash cannabis. He credits consuming and growing cannabis with losing 70 pounds, transitioning off over 19 prescriptions including opiates for an array of medical issues, and eventually becoming one of the most revered micro-cultivation brands in Colorado. Mom would be charmed if some of these flowers made their way into her purse. Colorado is not too far away via train.
Highrize Mini Pre-Rolls: The size and ultra-stony quality of Highrize flower are just some of the myriad of good reasons why I enjoy this product. For me to go deeply into the others would become a story-stick before I got to the bottom of writing this list. It’s also their variety of hash infused mini-pre rolls that really take me further and even beyond that. I love them.
Aster Farms has a story to tell that hits very close to home to anyone who is a mom. Their story is authentic and determined, as their flowers are grown in live soil, under organic practices. Mom would resonate with their struggle to rise again like a phoenix from the veritable ashes. Their bond to the earth is strong. You can taste it.
Tradecraft Farm came into my periphery when I discovered my tasting notes from last year’s Hall of Flowers. I knew immediately that mom would appreciate it greatly if you could procure some for her to smoke. Of course if she doesn’t smoke, you could try to buy a copy of the book, Cannabis Cocktails from your local Indie bookseller and weave a tasty little mint julep for her. Brimming with a just the right amount of THC that comes in their luscious flowers. Not everyone is happy about that thing that’s called a cross-fade. The art of infusing craft spirits with cannabis, but in the right hands, just like the caring ones of your mom. She had you, didn’t she? So celebrate her.
Excelsior Extracts surpasses my already high bar for quality cannabis by people who really love their craft. They are located somewhere on the perimeter, out on the east coast, so their terroir completely is different than what is nurtured out west. That’s what makes them unique to the east coast based connoisseur of fine cannabis flowers. They cure their elegant flower as nicely as the finest herbs I’ve tasted out at Blunt and Moore in Oakland, California. Excelsior is what your mom asked for.
Lady Jays says it all on their little box of mini pre rolls, Great Flower. Girl Power. If I was in Oregon right now that is what I’d be looking to smoke, this very moment. They’re not just made for women, mind you. These little joints pack a serious punch. They truly are strong, but also aromatic in a positive manner. I’m a big fan and yes, they get me lit. Your mom will appreciate what you offer her, make sure Lady Jays is in her Mother’s Day basket. Don’t forget her!
Brotherly Love Cannabis: This is beyond organic cannabis that always exceeds my expectations of what great cannabis can only strive to become. As Biodynamic and organic wine fills my metaphorical glass, Brotherly Love fills my active soul. I am fortunate to enjoy many of the worlds finest smokes, with Brotherly Love Organics in the very top tier of these benchmark flowers. Their curing is what makes them world-class. May I recommend aging their cannabis like the art of aging fine pipe tobacco? Low and slow in a regulated, humidified space, preferably in the dark, a used rum cask would be fabulous. Their fancy pre-rolls would charm your mom as well. Highly recommended because I’ve smoked them. Buzzzz.
Sunrise Mountain Humboldt Craft Cannabis. I’ve been up to this hand-tended farm, sited at the top of the veritable dream state and spilling out visually over the foothills in sea smoke and ample sunlight. The aromatics of the earth are ever present here. If they put anything into this soil, it will grow. Cannabis is not the only thing grown at Sunrise Mountain Farms. It’s very nearly self-sufficient as a seasonal, “Victory Garden” along with the robust cannabis grow. The flowers grown at Sunrise Mountain should be on your very short list for mom.
Lyfted Farms: I know very little about cannabis. Most young adults can break down all the terpenes of any given strain before I have a chance to open a cannabis app for more information. Lyfted Farms really gets it. They are cannabis nerds like myself, only much younger. If I was to get a cool mom some really boss flowers that do their best work on your intellect, these would be in that league. I love their curing.
Wonderbrett: This street-smart, B-Boy or B-Girl brand, along with Lyfted Farms are the dark-horse contenders for any mom who is: way too cool for school. I know this brand has a younger following, but hear me out for a second. There are no better consumers than people my age and up, we actually spend money on cannabis, we can’t hit our parents up for money anymore to buy some. Also, you should understand that bright color packing does sell cannabis, it’s what catches your eye. Mom will dig it. Trust me. If she doesn’t, you can blame me. I can take the heat.
Casa Humboldt. Lucky is the person who has a nugget or two of Casa Humboldt tucked back in their pocket. Be good to your mom and buy her some, as in today. She will say thank you with her knowing smile that comes from the goodness of the earth. Your mom loves the good stuff. She taught you and you didn’t even know it! Two words, Casa Humboldt. Say it. Thank you mom.
