It’s no secret that Klutch products are high-quality yet expensive. Before recreational sales became legal in Ohio, you could walk out of a Klutch Citizen dispensary with a 510 cart or luster pod for around $20. These days that will cost you between $35 to $50 before tax. Edit: A Klutch rep told me that in the next few weeks, price reductions are coming to all Klutch products at all Ohio dispensaries.
Most Klutch flower is sold in tenths, which at 2.83 grams is not a whole lot of weed. I’ve never seen a Klutch 5.66, and if you can actually find their stuff in a half ounce, prepare to pay.
This is why myself and others were glad to see Klutch release a budget-friendly line of flower called Habitat. The standard price for a Habitat tenth is $35, so if you can snag their stuff on sale, a tenth can cost under $30. At Klutch’s Northfield dispensary they recently had a deal for two Habitat Key Lime tenths, harvested four months ago, at $36. That is $180 for an ounce before tax.
Klutch’s new Northfield dispensary, located across from the MGM casino.
A Klutch cultivation technician told me the Habitat bud is grown in the exact same manner as Klutch’s typical flower. I was interested to see if Habitat cannabis lived up to the Klutch standard, so I sampled a few tenths. First up was the Gasanova indica strain.
The Gasanova’s muted greed and orange packaging was opaque, so you couldn’t see the buds through the bag.

When I opened the baggie’s seal, I was hit with a strong, fresh smell of gas and green! The scent was clean, crisp and sweet. It definitely smelled like some Klutch flower, and not like budget bud. The tenth weighed 2.81 grams, just shy of the 2.83 grams that it should have been.
As you can see from the two pictures above, the flower had lots of green hues and darker shades of purple. There were oranges, yellows and shiny trichomes. There was a tight trim with minimal stemmage and zero sugar leaves. Not only that, the buds were dense, sticky and healthy. They didn’t turn to dust through a grinder.
Gasanova packed bowlGasanova beat bowl
Not only did the Habitat Gasanova burn slow but it ashed very light. It tasted exactly like it smelled! Along with the overwhelming gassiness and sweetness I tasted fruity undertones. There was a lot of great stuff going on with the taste of this pot.
I got strong indica effects from the Gasanova. The strain’s top terpene, Limonene, was accompanied by a healthy dose of Linalool, Myrcene, and Caryophyllene for pain relief and anti-inflammatory properties. This would be a great strain for someone looking for a powerful yet budget-friendly indica.
One of the Klutch cultivation techs told me the company determines sativa and indica based on plant structure, not terpenes.
I gave Habitat’s Gasanova an 8/10 for taste, 4/10 for harshness, 8/10 for strength, 9/10 for smell strength and 60 or more minutes for length of medical effects.
Total THC 27.80%, THCA 31.20%, Delta-9 THC 0.47%, Total CBD 0.11%, CBDA 0.12%.
Harvested 12/30/2024, tested 01/23/2025 by North Coast, packaged 04/04/2025, first consumed 05/01/2025, expires 12/30/2025.
Next up was the Pine Berry Sorbet hybrid flower, gifted to me for my birthday by a good friend! Thank you! A friend with weed is a friend I need.
Pine Berry Sorbet from HabitatPine Berry Sorbet from Habitat
The Pine Berry Sorbet was packaged in the same type of bag as the Gasanova. The tenth clocked in a little overweight at 2.86 grams. It gave off an overwhelming scent of smooth pine and berry. It smelled fresh and floral.
Just like the Gasanova, the Pine Berry Sorbet had a professional-grade trim. The buds were nice and dense with an ideal moisture level. They broke down nicely by hand and behaved as expected when run through my Flower Mill.
Pine Berry Sorbet packedPine Berry Sorbet cashed
The flower burned nice and clean, cooperating with the flame to fulfill its ultimate destiny. The flavor was distinct compared to the Gasanova. Pine Berry Sorbet had much more of a creamier taste to the smooth smoke.
For me, the piney flavor was front and center, which given the name isn’t surprising. However, when you look at the terpene profile, b-Pinene is somewhat low on the list. A-Pinene is not even contained in the listed terpenes.
The Pine Berry Sorbet didn’t give me as much of a body buzz as the Gasanova. It provided more balanced effects. After consumption I was able to get some meal prep done for the upcoming work week and do some other boring chores. The Pine Berry Sorbet turned the mundane into an intriguing game, and tasted great in the process.
After sampling the full tenth I gave this cannabis strain a 7/10 for taste, 4/10 for harshness, 7/10 for strength, 7/10 for smell strength and 60 minutes for length of medical effects.
Total THC 26.60%, delta-9 THCA 29.80%, Delta-9 THC 0.46%, total CBD 0.07%, CBDa 0.09%.
Harvested 03/19/2025, tested 05/07/2025 by North Coast, packaged 05/14/2025, first consumed 07/25/2025, expires 03/19/2026.
After trying both of these Habitat offerings, I would recommend this brand of flower to those who love Klutch bud but don’t love Klutch prices. I will be keeping an eye out for new releases from Habitat. I will also be visiting the Northfield Citizen dispensary to grab two Key Lime tenths for $36!
Advertising disclosure: I do not have a material connection to this grower. This is not a paid endorsement.
A few months ago at the Northeast Ohio Rosin Fest I met a guy named Max, better known as Professor Bluntstache (Instagram: @Professor_Bluntstache). At one time he was the the Lead Horticulture Instructor at The Cleveland School of Cannabis. These days he keeps busy with many activities in the cannabis realm.
My 2017 Cleveland Cannabis College coaster. It was produced before they changed the name to Cleveland School of Cannabis in 2018.
Professor Bluntstache is a private consultant, applying his decade of experience in regenerative cultivation to assist grows of all scales. He is well-educated in the fields of chemical engineering and organic farm management.
He gives public presentations on topics such as organic cannabis gardening, cloning and transplanting. At Rosin Fest I smoked several bowls as he gave a fascinating presentation on his methods of making bubble hash and rosin.
Click the image to hear Professor Bluntstache talk about organic cultivation versus other grow methods. He also discusses alternate cannabinoids such as Delta-8, Delta-10, THC-0 and HHC.
Most importantly, Professor Bluntstache is the current Professor of Cannabis Science at Farmingdale State College in Farmingdale, New York. His main focus is producing standard operating procedures that generate top-shelf cannabis in the most efficient ways possible.
I’ve met him at Puff n’ Stuff instore appearances in Kent and Mayfield Heights, but last time I spoke to the man was at an Ohio Cannabis Farmers Market at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds. I had a few questions that he was happy to answer.
What are his temple balls of hash made from?Washed bubble hash that is squished and rolled by hand.
One gram of temple ball hash from Professor Bluntstashe
Where can I buy Professor Bluntstache flower? He gave me the names of several headshops that sell his stuff. I recommend calling first to make sure they have it in stock. However, since it isn’t always clearly labeled as Bluntstache flower, the employee might not know the name Bluntstache. While shopping, look for this style of label.

Take a look at some of the top-shelf flower I’ve acquired from Professor Bluntstache! This is the reason home grow, Tier-3, craft cannabis cultivation and legal hemp is important for our community. The flower is organic, pesticide-free, sticky, fresh and tasty, and you’re supporting local farmers.
If Bluntstache’s bud is indeed technically hemp with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC, then he is doing hemp the right way, unlike the low-shelf hemp flower you find in most smoke shops and gas stations. To me, Bluntstache’s bud looks, smells, tastes and smacks like cannabis, not hemp.
Upon opening a jar of Professor Bluntstache bud, the aroma not only smacks you but invigorates your mind. After taking a few deep whiffs you can literally feel a slight head buzz, and your body tells you that this is the funk you were looking for. The flower is sticky and fresh. It never turns to dust in a grinder. It always burns slow and tastes superb.
Professor’s Push Pop, sativa
The Professor’s Push Pop was the first eighth I bought from the Professor. The terpinolene smell and taste was off the charts. It definitely had a creamier side to the flavor which was like a Firecracker Push Pop.
I didn’t snap a photo of the Push Pop until I had one bowl left. I feel like the picture doesn’t truly give the strain justice. It had excellent bag appeal.
Grown with love in living soil. Pesticide-free. The lineage was Purple Punch (Ohio Cut) x Professor’s Star (2023 Stock). The aroma was like overripe fruit mixed with ice cream. It was sweet, floral and fuely. The effect made me feel clear-headed and amused. I was also very relaxed.
Twisted Wreck, sativa
The Twisted Wreck was GAS! It had great bag appeal. It was loud, gassy and fuely in smell and taste. It gave an excellent sativa high. The Twisted Wreck won the award for the best-tasting strain at the 2025 Ganja Cup in Canton, Ohio!
Grown with love in living soil. Pesticide-free. The lineage was East Coast Sour Diesel x Trainwreck x Silver Mountain. 2019 stock. The smell was citrusy and limey with terpinolene. The background smell was sweet, funky and fuely. The effect left me mellowed and clear-headed with a strong body buzz.
Sunshine #4 x ’88 G13 Hash Plant, sativa
The Sunshine #4 x ’88 G13 Hash Plant flower produced some seeds, so I had to watch out while breaking it down. The bud itself was sticky, dank and citrusy. I could definitely smell and taste creamy terpinolene as well.
It smoked great, producing a strong, uplifting and energizing high. It tasted refreshing and wasn’t dry. The lineage was Sunshine #4 crossed with ’88 G13 Hash Plant. Wow! The stuff smelled fresh, spicy, sweet, citrusy and terpinolene-heavy. Grown with love in living soil. Pesticide-free.
The 80’s Durban Poison looked and smelled so good that I didn’t even want to smoke it. Smelling this fresh, sticky, trichome-laced flower really took me back to a time when top shelf meant top shelf.
Grown with love in living soil. Pesticide-free. According to the label this was an 1980’s stock African Landrace Hybridized Durban Poison strain. The aroma was fuely, rubbery and terpinolene-heavy. Background smell was sweet piney. The effect made me wired, inspired, then calm and sedative.
Peanut Marmalade #5, indica
The Peanut Marmalade #5 was some of the most purple pot I’ve seen in a long, long time. Staring into these buds was like peeking through a portal into a ganja galaxy filled with shiny star trichomes. It definitely gave more of an indica effect upon consumption.
Grown with love in living soil. Pesticide-free. The lineage was Trop F2 x Peanut Butter Breath (2021 Stock). The smell was spicy, sweet, nutty and woody. The background scent was floral and berry. The effect was giggly, blissful and calm.
Peanut Marmalade #5, indicaBlack Magic, hybrid
The Black Magic had a creamy terpinolene taste. I bought this one from SuperLit in Olmsted Township and they had branded it under the name Dickie’s. There was no lineage listed on the container.
Grown with love in living soil. Pesticide-free. The aroma and flavor were sweet berry, terpinolene and citrusy. The effect was euphoric, romantic and sedative.
Chemstar, sativa
The Chemstar smelled strong and dank. It’s the closest thing I’ve smelled or tasted to the sought-after Death Star strain from 2011 and 2012. The lineage was (Deathstar x [Mos Eisley = Chem ’91 x Deathstar BX2]) ~ 2020 stock.
Grown with love in living soil. Pesticide-free. The aroma was fuely like kerosene and gas. It was also earthy, piney, funky and had a slight hint of ammonia. The effect was an intense lift off with a sedative yet bubbly second phase.
Indigo Magic Freak, indica
The Indigo Magic Freak had a unique lineage: (Black Magic x Indigo Pupil) x (Berryfreak F2 x Indigo Pupil) ~ 2022 stock. It delivered a heavier indica effect.
Grown with love in living soil. Pesticide-free. The aroma was sweet, berry, candy, spicy, earthy and a bit leathery. The effect was clear-headed, soaring, relaxed and giddy.
Chemstar Bx3 Rosin, 2nd pull quality
I was very pleased with Professor Bluntstache’s rosin 510 carts and disposables. They tasted great, gave superb effect and functioned as expected. When he had some Chemstar BX3 rosin available, I scooped up a gram. It tasted fresher and cleaner than any hash I’d smoked in a while! I’d love to try some of his 1st press rosin.
When I found out Ohio Bloom dispensaries would be releasing an exclusive Galenas strain on July 1st, I prepared my lungs and pocketbook for the date. The stuff was called Hawaiian Snowcone and was said to be high in limonene and caryophyllene. I looked forward to an invigorating smoke just in time for the humid Ohio Fourth of July. Edit: This strain can be found at any dispensary now, not just Bloom. The exclusive deal must have been for a limited time.
I bought my bag on release date and immediately handed a bowl-sized nug to a friend. Afterwards, the tenth weighed 2.79 grams. Not bad!
The Hawaiian Snowcone strain is a high-terp cross between Zkittlez, Lemon Cherry Gelato and Plushers. It came packaged in a pink Mylar baggie with a viewing window on the bottom. The bag smashed the buds and they were a bit flattened when poured onto the table.
I didn’t see the squid, but I felt as chill as these wizards after puffing the Hawaiian Snowcone.
As soon as I opened the Mylar, my room was filled with a heavy, dank aroma. When given a few whiffs I detected the fruity sweetness from the limonene along with clove from the caryophyllene. If I used my imagination it smelled like a weedy push pop or an infused ice cream treat. It was unique and alluring. I looked forward to smoking it!
The Hawaiian Snowcone buds contained medium and light green hues. They had clumps of small orange pistils that stuck close to the nugs. The flowers reformed their shape when squeezed. Each nug contained a single stem running through its middle. The trim was terrific. The only drawback about the look was the fact that the buds were a bit smashed from the bag.
I pulled a glass piece out of my Grunge Off bath, rinsed it, dried it, and packed it full of Hawaiian Snowcone. The buds broke down beautifully in my grinder. There was no dust or mist, just malleable shreddings that were easily moldable within the bowl head.
Packed Hawaiian Snowcone
The weed burned at about a medium speed and ashed light. It tasted like sweet vanilla mixed with citrus fruit and dank skunk. I could detect the spiciness from the caryophyllene. It made me think of Firecracker Ice Pops or Firework Faygo. The Hawaiian Snowcone cannabis was refreshing!
Melted Hawaiian Snowcone
It didn’t make me cough despite the high level of caryophyllene. Some people call this terpene “carycoughyllene” due to its potential harshness on the throat and lungs. In nature, caryophyllene is found in black pepper, clove and cinnamon. In my experience with marijuana, caryophyllene is a good terpene for those who smoke regularly, as it seems to pack a potent punch.
The Hawaiian Snowcone’s medical effects were strong. I got a balanced hybrid feeling, as I was focused and alert in my head yet my body seemed relaxed and pain-free. In most cases this is exactly the type of effect I am looking for out of my cannabis consumption experience.
I graded the Hawaiian Snowcone from Galenas with an 8 out of 10 for strength, 8 out of 10 for taste, 4 out of 10 for harshness, 8 out of 10 for smell strength and over 60 minutes for length of medical effects.

Wellspring Fields is a licensed cannabis grower and processor from Ravenna, Ohio. In addition to flower, they produce extracts, 510 carts, disposables, peanut butter, chocolates, topicals, tinctures, RSO syringes and infused beverages that they call “elixirs”. I have enjoyed several of their products including the chocolates and elixirs. I have also tried their lip balm which I am not sure that they make anymore.
I was at Certified Dispensary in South Euclid, a week out from Rosin Fest. I had no flower to smoke to hold me over until the festival.
While browsing Certified’s interactive menu in their lobby I had a chance encounter with a stoner friend! We talked for a bit while I looked through the half ounces. I had yet to try any Wellspring Fields flower, and I saw they had a half of Project Red for 20% off, so I made the selection and bought the bag. The lineage on this stuff was Pacoima Kush x Ghetto Red.
When I got home and opened it up I was hit with an earthier smell then I expected. The whiff contained hints of berry or fruit, but mostly I smelled some grassiness that made me a bit nervous about how the stuff would taste. It didn’t smell stale.
The flower itself had a nice look to it. Most of the buds were big and chunky. They were all dense and medium-green in hue with fuzzy orange pistils that stuck to the buds. There was a little bit of stem attached to the bigger buds but the flower was far from what I’d consider a “Stemmy Buscemi”.
Project Red indica flower from Wellspring FieldsI like big buds and I cannot lie!
The Project Red half ounce clocked in .08 grams underweight at 14.07 grams. The buds were a bit dry and had a crunch to their squeeze. When broken down by hand it wasn’t too bad but through a grinder there was definitely some dust produced. The buds weren’t very sticky.
Project Red packed (post-Integra Boost packet)
This flower had about a medium burn speed and produced light greyish ash. It didn’t taste dry or stale. Thankfully, the earthiness to the smell translated well into the taste. The Project Red had a spicy, hoppy taste with raspberry or strawberry undertones. It wasn’t harsh. I ended up really enjoying the taste of the stuff!
Beat bowl of Project Red
I threw a RAW Integra Boost humidity control packet in with the Project Red flower and waited 24 hours. I was amazed at how well the packet brought this bud back to life. The stuff went from producing dust through a grinder to generating zero dust whatsoever. The flower became sticker and denser when broken up by hand. The nuggets lost their crunch when squeezed and tasted fresher and more flavorful!
The RAW Integra Boost packet brought a ton of life back to the dry Project Red flower
For me, the Project Red produced more of a relaxing medical effect. I’d consider it an indica-leaning hybrid. It didn’t make me tired but it didn’t give me the burst of energy I got from Woodward’s Frozen Bag sativa or Butterfly Effect’s Black Jack strain.
The Project Red relieved my pain and eased my mind without producing a headache or any other unwanted side effects. It made my mouth kind of dry and stimulated my hunger. This would be a good strain for someone looking to relax midday.
Another unique aspect of this bag was that the terpene info was only accessible by a QR code printed on the label. The attached link brought me to a detailed lab report with tons of info on terpenes, moisture and microbials.
I’d buy and smoke the Project Red again if given the opportunity. After enjoying my first flower strain from Wellspring Fields I’d love to try a few of their other offerings such as Stankasaurus, Strawberries and Cream, Puna Alien Fuel, Oh-Pie-Oh and Sour Tangie.
I gave the Project Red from Wellspring Fields a 7 for taste, 4 for harshness, 7 for strength, 6 for smell strength and 60 to 90 minutes for length of medical effects.

I have been wanting to review some Woodward flower for a while. Their quality standards are second to none. You can tell with each toke that this crew has passion for the plant. They release flower in fifths and halfs along with exceptional cured resin 510 carts.
I once had a job interview with Woodward’s parent company Fire Rock and it was a great experience. The interviewer saw I had a Stone Cold Steve Austin notebook and went off on a tangent about pro wrestling! When the interview was finished, he talked to me about wrestling for several minutes. They even had wrestling action figures in their break room.
I still use this 2000 Steve Austin notebook for note taking, 25 years after production. The skull on the front cover is a lenticular animation that switches to Steve’s face when moved to an angle.
There are so many strains I’d like to try from Woodward Fine Cannabis: Grapehead, Banana Mac, True OG, Platinum Kush Breath, Animal Face, Cherry Jungle and many others. I had the chance to sample some exquisite Rainbow Marker a few weeks ago with a friend. Today I will be reviewing the Frozen Bag half ounce that I purchased on 04/20/2025 for 40% off.
The Frozen Bag sativa flower is a research and development strain, so I hadn’t seen it around before. At the time it was only available in a half ounce of mini buds. Usually I try to stay away from mini buds, smalls and popcorn if possible, but the Woodward minis still had a better bag appeal than a majority of strains. I decided to give the stuff a shot.
Frozen Bag from Woodward Fine Cannabis
The Frozen Bag’s lineage is B.A.G. – Michigan Gas Factory Cut x Banana Butter Cups. It came packaged in a clear plastic half ounce jar with a colorful label and black plastic lid. I’ve heard some people say they wish Woodward would use glass jars to better preserve taste, but the plastic jars don’t bother me too much. They are lighter and much less likely to break when dropped. I’d prefer a plastic jar over a Mylar bag that would smash and dry the nugs.
When the jar was opened I got a fresh whiff of pinene! At 11.43 milligrams per gram of pinene, this stuff smelled like a weedy pine tree. There was more depth to the scent than just that, as I could also detect gas and a smoother smell that gave banana pudding vibes. There were high terps overall, with all top six listed terps clocking in at over 1 milligram per gram as you can see at the end of this review.
I didn’t get a chance to weigh the half ounce before initial consumption but the buds were packed to the top of the jar. You could definitely tell they were minis and not full nuggets. Some of the buds were medium-sized, some were small and some were tiny chunks.
I was happy to see that there was no shake, sugar leaves, loose stems or unsmokable matter. Some of the buds themselves had small stems but it was nowhere near egregious.
Many of the nuggets had dark purple notes which gave great visual appeal. The minis looked fuzzy and when cracked open you could see some trichomes. These buds had slight stickiness to them and had an overall fluffy, soft feel. They weren’t particularly dense.
The Frozen Bag flower was not dry. It broke up as expected through a grinder. Even though it wasn’t super dense it produced lots of material. There were no big stems within the buds. The Frozen Bag was super easy to work with when breaking down by hand. This is a wonderful strain for joint and blunt rollers!
I’d say the burn speed was about medium on this stuff. It didn’t go poof into smoke like a magician’s disappearing act but I wouldn’t say it was a slow-burner. Still, the bud itself smoked wonderfully. The ash color was very light and it tasted like it!
The Frozen Bag tasted just like it smelled. It was fresh, piney, gassy, weedy and smooth. I’m a huge fan of banana-flavored terpenes and this cannabis definitely had banana flavor buried within. It gave me an even greater desire to try their Banana Mac cut!
The medical effects were sativa-leaning. It seems as if a lot of Woodward’s strains are labeled hybrid so it was nice to try their take on a sativa. I was focused, energized, pain-free and inspired. For me the effects were clear-headed and introspective. The experience of smoking Frozen Bag and feeling the medical aftermath is truly something to behold.
Based on my experience with this half ounce, I’d buy this strain again. I gave the Frozen Bag from Woodward an 8 for taste, 2 for harshness, 8 for strength, 7 for smell strength and 60 to 90 minutes for length of medical effects.
Harvested on 02/12/2025 by Fire Rock, tested 03/06/2025 by North Coast Testing Labs, packaged on 03/19/2025, first consumed on 04/20/2025, expires on 02/11/2025.
When in the area, I always enjoy visiting the Certified Dispensary in South Euclid. They usually have pretty good deals and a nice selection of Certified flower and vapes. Last time I was there the special was spend $300 and get a Certified shirt for a penny.
That deal wasn’t as good as Ohio Cannabis Company’s current offer, where if you download their app you get a free shirt, but I still ended up spending enough at Certified to get the shirt for a penny.
Recently I was the lucky recipient of a gift from a friend: a sample of Certified’s new Moonbow indica strain. The lineage is ZKZ (Zkittlez) x Doe-C-Doe. It came packaged in Certified’s standard tenth glass jar with a black label and black plastic lid.
It smelled light, floral and sweet. There was some weediness to the smell without doubt, but I noticed a lot of limonene and linalool in the aroma. The smell was unique. It definitely made me look forward to tasting the bud!
The top listed terps were limonene, linalool, b-caryophyllene and guaiol (pronounced “gwhy-EEE-ol”). After reading a little bit about guaiol I learned that its most prominent aromas are pine, wood and rose. Maybe that explains why I thought I smelled a hint of rose while whiffing the wares. Upon analyzing the bud, I realized the following: A
friend with weed is a friend indeed. I spend around three at the dispensary. I sample tree, an ample hobby for those who enjoy using THC.
My two-bud sample of Moonbow weighed 0.53 grams. It was light green with slight medium green hues. There were small orange pistils on the pot and fuzzy-looking trichomes throughout. When I broke the bud open I could see some shinier trichomes. The flowers were stemless.
The stuff wasn’t dry and it was reasonably dense. It broke up into nice chunks with my fingers but it wasn’t very sticky. When I ran the Moonbow through my Flower Mill it broke down beautifully. The milled marijuana was fluffy and easy to work with. Since the bud wasn’t dry there was no dust or marijuana mist.
Packed Moonbow bowl
When toke time finally arrived, I was thrilled to discover the Moonbow tasted not only just like it smelled…but better then it smelled. I could honestly taste the large amounts of linalool and guaiol in this stuff. What a unique and exciting terpene profile!
There was miniscule harshness to the Moonbow smoke as it flew through my esophagus. It went down smooth and produced no phlegm on the exhale. I truly enjoyed my time with every toke. The experience was something to behold.
The encounter made me think of my grandpa, puffing away on his tobacco pipe, enjoying the aroma with each draw. Smoking slowly and sufficiently, he savored the smoke with each toke he embarked upon. Thankfully in these modern days we are able to smoke cannabis instead of tobacco.
When the Moonbow bowl was finished the ash had a light hue.
Beat, cashed-out bowl of Moonbow (it had been Cashius Clayed)
The medical effects were relaxing yet inspiring. While smoking the Moonbow, I wrote this article, finished a song I had been working on and got an idea for another brand new song. Time flew by as I focused on the tasks at hand. I started the session at 8:00 am and by the time I looked down at the clock it was already 9:40 am.
I would definitely buy this stuff myself. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a rejuvenating, tranquil strain that tastes floral and unique. In my opinion it was more of a hybrid-leaning indica. I’ll keep my fingers crossed to see the Moonbow available in a half ounce!
I gave the Moonbow from Certified Cultivators an 8 for taste, 2 for harshness, 8 for strength, 7 for smell strength and 60 to 90 minutes for length of medical effects.
In 1978 his brother John formed the band The Blues Brothers with Dan Aykroyd, which spawned a famous movie in 1980. The band still plays live with Jim Belushi performing vocals under the name “Brother” Zee Blues.
In the mid-2010s Jim began growing cannabis on his property in Oregon. This was documented on the popular television show Growing Belushi, which has run for three seasons. According to Belushi Farm’s FAQ, a fourth season is not out of the realm of possibility. The show is available to stream on Hulu and Max.
Belushi’s Farm marijuana is now being sold in dispensaries across the United States. In Ohio, Belushi’s Farm cannabis is grown by Wondergrove (Ritegene Technologies) and is available at Bloom dispensaries. So far I have sampled four Belushi’s Farm strains: Muul Fuel, Hash Burger, Lemon Vuetton and Caddie Rainbowz.
The company isn’t currently listing terpene information on their packaging, but I detected heavy myrcene and some caryophyllene in the Muul Fuel. To me, the Hash Burger was lighter tasting, probably featuring limonene with some humulene or pinene in there. The Lemon Vuetton came strong with limonene and terpinolene vibes. All of the strains had significant earthiness to the taste as well, not in a good way.
For this review I am focusing on Belushi Farm’s Caddie Rainbowz flower. To my understanding, when a grower wants to name a cannabis strain in Ohio, they have to go through an approval process with the Division of Cannabis Control.
This governing body wants Ohio’s marijuana market to be tamer and less glorified than places like Michigan or California, so they insist on approving all strain names and packaging material. The DCC wouldn’t allow the strain name Cadillac Rainbows because of Cadillac being a trademarked word associated with motor vehicles. However, they approved the name Caddie Rainbowz.
According to Leafly, the Cadillac Rainbow strain is derived from a cross between Pure Michigan and Runtz. The Belushi’s Farm Caddie Rainbowz that I tried tested at 24.4% THC and had 0.0550% CBD.
The bud came packaged in an opaque white plastic jar that had a lid within a lid. I like the two-lid seal system, as it seems to keep the buds pretty fresh. None of the Belushi’s Farm flower that I have tried has been dry.
After opening that second lid I was hit with a pungent gassy aroma. I could smell sweetness, fruitiness and skunk. There were eight small, neatly-trimmed buds in the jar that weighed a total of 2.77 grams.
The buds were trimmed wonderfully. There were no stems to be seen.
There were a whole bunch of colors going on with this bud, including light green, dark green, purple, orange pistils and shiny trichomes. Since I couldn’t see the buds before buying, the outstanding jar appeal was a welcomed sight upon discovery.
The Caddie Rainbowz buds were dense and broke up with a bit of resistance through my grinder. There was no dust after breaking this stuff down. When shredded apart by finger it was a bit sticky and left some residue on my skin.
Packed bowl of Belushi
The Caddie Rainbowz burned pretty slow and ashed kind of dark. My joints had a bit of trouble staying lit but nothing the flick of a Bic couldn’t solve.
As far as the taste is concerned I noticed some earthiness but with further exploration I detected fruity and gassy notes. It’s also possible there was a good amount of linalool in there, as I seemed to get some floral flavors as well. If I had to guess, the top terps are probably myrcene, limonene and linalool.
This was the ash color
The medical effects were mild but noticeable, as I felt mellowed-out soon after consumption. To me, this was more of an indica-leaning hybrid.
After smoking the Caddie Rainbowz from Belushi’s Farm, I thought it scored a 5/10 for taste, 6/10 for harshness, 5/10 for strength, 7/10 for smell strength, and 30 minutes for length of medical effects.

DAB LAND
Welcome to the dab land. Time to do a dab, man. Got a glass pencil dabber in your hand. Scoop a glob, grab a swab, do a damn good job.
Welcome to the dab land. Time to do a dab, man. Got a TI dabber in your hand. Scoop a glob, grab a swab, do a damn good job.
Ready to blaze? I’ve been ready for days. I’ve been feelin’ good, hittin’ all my parlays. So I got cash to buy hash. I dash to my rig after acquiring the product post-blast.
Got a Highly Educated TI dabber. I dissolve the glob, then feel real dapper. Much laughter emanates from the hash bar. When it comes to prohibition? Rock the casbah.
Scoop a mad wad. Dissolve the glob. I got your back, got a dabber on my key fob. Every time I see pot, I wanna squash those damn nugs to a rosin wad.
Heat up my nail to a real low temp. Do a half gram dab? Well, that’s no sweat. You bet I let my rigs bubble n’ chug. My joint fits real snug.
Got a spinner cap with some terp pearls. Distributes the heat, makes the air swirl. Every time I dab makes my hair curl. When I reach the pad, I ask “Where’s Errl?”
I say “Marco?” Errl says “Polo.” I will spark a massive bowl-o with a glob of wax on top. I consume lots of hash and pot.
I separate the wheat from the chaff. I trash bad weed and keep good grass. So grab yourself a new hat pin. Put a dabber in your hand, let’s start samplin’.

WEED, MYSELF AND HIGH
Weed, myself and high. Blow smoke into the sky. Go big daily, use a glass screen to keep bong water nice.
It will stay clear as ice. Not blackened with the remnants of your vice. Like my fingertips. Like my hashy lips.
Like the bowl of the slide. Let it glide through the downstem. Pound them pipes like prohibition was denied. At that moment I will be alive! Blowin’ smoke into the sky with tears of joy. Yes, a happy cry.
I’m a sappy guy when you let your harvest dry and you find it within your soul to share with me and mine. I will give thanks. Probably sing an icaro. Give me more than a nickel, though, ’cause my demanding lungs can handle massive smoke.
Morning hit I choke, but after that, I’m ready to go. Take me to the pot zone. Load me up a hot toke. Take me to your leader, with him, I’ll converse, burn heaters. Princess Mary Jane, I meet her, then set fire to the speakers.
Bleed my wallet dry during weed, myself and high. Eat a pumpkin pie, let the seed grow towards the light. Reachin’ to the sky, hittin’ space at 50 Mi. Weed, myself and high. Weed, myself and high.
THC unlocks the ability of my body to produce chemicals that put me right where I need to be. It’s a useful key to unleash your particle suit’s mechanism to break life through a prism. Cut you to your core.
Explore things that seemed absurd before. Like the origin of consciousness and status of the sea floor. Blow your mind like C4. Outlook on life reformed. Make friends with the squirrel that lives outside under your tree fort.
Be more aware of the vibes you put out there. No need to reshare another’s thoughts. Your brain’s got good stuff in there. Scoop yourself a dabber, consume, now you feel dapper. Chillin’ at home with your pets, the cat in your lap purrs.
Take a couple samplers, souvenirs. Share them with your peers. Have them tell you what they thought over a couple beers. Then you roll a screamer, smoke it live for all your streamers in an 8K array. Coughin’ through the speakers.
Bleed my wallet dry during weed, myself and high. Eat a pumpkin pie, let the seed grow towards the light. Reachin’ to the sky, hittin’ space at 50 Mi. Weed, myself and high. Weed, myself and high.
Eat more than a sumo guy during weed, myself and high. Unleash your third eye, let the seed grow towards the light. Reachin’ to the sky, hittin’ space at 50 Mi. Weed, myself and high. Weed, myself and high.
CONSUME THE FUME
I consume the fume. I consume the fume. I’m “Hashlips” Harry Hughes and I consume the fume. Put the smoke through the flume. Put the smoke through the flume. My name is Harry Hughes. I smoke then invent a tune.
Hi. I’m Harry Hughes. Nice to meet you! Time to greet the crew with an ounce or two. All for this session only. You better put your smokin’ shoes on, get your lung flow going.
Prepare for the air to get you impaired. But you’re gonna feel great, and forget your cares. One more hit, you’re there. It’s hip to be square, so put the drink down for now. There’s flower to share.
There’s sour gummy bears, a variety of THC. Open my eyes, wide selection in front of me. Like a kid at a candy vendor. Wanna try it all. What a splendor. Take my legal tender.
Consume the fume from a water bong. Zoom a catchy rhyme along, keep the flow stayin’ strong. Playin’ Pong so long my eyes have shot red. Cut the plants in my shed before they got dead.
I consume the fume. I consume the fume. I’m “Hashlips” Harry Hughes and I consume the fume. Put the smoke thru the flume. Put the smoke through the flume. My name is Harry Hughes, I smoke then invent a tune.

Smokin’ a pre-roll banana cone. The terps blast me into the earth’s ozone. Flavorful taste is something I chase. Don’t let a molecule go to waste. I got 45 days on my day supply,
so I’ll be vapin’ like a painless guy. Feelin’ better than I have since 1999. Feelin’ great. I’m inspired, motivated, never tired. Got sativa focus. Hocus pocus to my pain and slowness.
Time to show this world that legal weed is not a joke. Time for pain relief for every gal and every bloke. Take a toke, taste the terps. Your taste buds burst and the pain in your nerves goes bye, bye, sir.
I’m “Hashlips” Harry Hughes, and it’s 7:10 PM. I will gather all my rigs, put vapor through all of them. I will scrape a piece of slab, hold the dabber in my hand.
Jolie Olie on the telly. Got some munchies in my belly. Ate a sandwich with ingredients I picked up from the deli. Got some fuego on the table, screamin’ loud, super smelly.
Now that the dab is on the dabber all I have to do is gather my timer and my torch, heat the nail, precision matters. Drop the dab on the nail when the timer clamors.
Enjoy the effect. Feel the hair on my neck rise. Vaporize prohibitionists despite their best tries. Things are gettin’ legal, tears of joy Harry Huges cries.
7:10 PM. 7:10 PM. I will gather all my rigs, put vapor through all of them. “Hashlips” Harry Hughes, gettin’ chewed, eatin’ food. Globbin’ up a giant dab of Gorilla Glue.
7:10 PM. 7:10 PM. I will gather all my rigs, put vapor through all of them. “Hashlips” Harry Hughes. Tasty rosin I consume, then for two hours I sit and stare at the moon.
I’m “Hashlips” Harry Hughes, and by now it’s 7:30. Need to grab myself some iso, ’cause my oil rig is dirty. On a balcony, next to a tree with some birdies.
PuffCo Peak Pro when I’m in a windy zone. Wind will blow out the torch, cool my nail, I just say no. I just use oil technology so vapor I can blow.
CustomGrow is a show. An internet video. An ongoing series that you watch while you smoke. Jolie surrounds himself with glassy-eyed folk.
Entertaining when Jolie dabs wearing colorful hats. When he laughs, there’s no question that he’s glad. When he heats it hot n’ hurty you know he will cough real bad.
7:10 PM. 7:10 PM. I will gather all my rigs, put vapor through all of them. “Hashlips” Harry Hughes, gettin’ chewed, eatin’ food. Globbin’ up a giant dab of Gorilla Glue.
7:10 PM. 7:10 PM. I will gather all my rigs, put vapor through all of them. “Hashlips” Harry Hughes. Tasty rosin I consume, then for three hours I clean my house and vacuum.
Open the jar. My smokin’s on par with the finest fire Jolie Olie smokes at the pot bar. When he heats the nail, yes he gives it a hot char and gets so damn high, forgets where his tater tots are.
I prefer a low temp, but we’ve all got our preferences. Stoney references throughout my record, kid. Sentences meshin’ in one another. Tar and featherin’. Usin’ oil for tar and bud for feather.
Heaven is this experience. I’m delirious in a pot shop. Wanna cop every drop of distillate. This will sit well with me. Blazin’ up hella tree. Knowin’ that the folks in society are smellin’ me.
Tellin’ Harry, “Man, you smell like you just blazed.” Yes, indeed, sir, I do this throughout the day. No matter what you say, no matter if Huffman complains. He can take his THC cap and wear it when it rains.
7:10 PM. 7:10 PM. I will gather all my rigs, put vapor through all of them. “Hashlips” Harry Hughes, gettin’ chewed, eatin’ food. Globbin’ up a giant dab of Gorilla Glue.
7:10 PM. 7:10 PM. I will gather all my rigs, put vapor through all of them. “Hashlips” Harry Hughes. Tasty rosin I consume, then for four hours I write songs in my living room.
CLEVELAND GROWN
These days, everybody’s got a few plants goin’. Growin’ potent marijuana, with wax their bowls they’re coatin’. Soakin’ flower with some golden hash. Burns for ’bout an hour. Our diesel is sour, tasty flavors we devour.
Gettin’ high in Ohio. I know…it’s built into the name. Ohio’s where we grow. Seeds we sow. Many elbows of smoke went directly through my throat. I passed the trial. I stayed a while for many, many tokes.
Harry Hughes spittin’ news just like Huey’s dudes. I’m not singin’ blues. This song celebrates hard work from crews of cannabinoid consumers fightin’ hard to change the laws all across the world. Including here in my very own backyard.
I’ll send you the menu, got blue dream and lemon ice. You are looking forward to when you smoke a pipe of somethin’ nice. Remember, underground markets brought us where we are today. So exchange some flower with your stoner neighbors. Hooray!
The reason that you feelin’ stoned is cause that flower’s Cleveland grown. Out of town folks be leavin’ home to buy loud hash and weed in zones. Remember weed laws in Toledo? Laissez-faire. Do-si-do. Never gave a damn about booze or blow. Heat waxy hash so ooze will flow.
Out of town folks be geeked and honed to spend mad cash on p’s and zones. Can’t blame ’em bro, my spirit glows. Harry Hughes rappin’ through the speakerphone to tell you about how our seeds explode into healthy bushes. No average Joe trees. These pot plants, they steal the show. Please grow, baby, grow, from here to Stow.
We plant clones, give ’em water, and hang stable lights. We do this in Parma, Euclid, Lakewood, Bedford, Maple Heights. Got good karma. Lucid take on life towards our new staple rights. Twelve plants per house, hundreds of thousands of grow sites!
57% of us said yes. Thrifty activists lent their time and efforts to the quest. They succeeded. Yes, we grew the best when there was zero tolerance, but now we advertise far and wide, ’cause we don’t need to stress.
We just focus on our nutrients. Yes, that’s what my duty is. After I grow this I’ll give you two and a half zips. A wonderful gift that will uplift, give you a kick. Sativa when I need a breatha. CBN to sleep real quick.
When I am homesick I reminisce about the strains I would smoke with all my stoner buddies way back in the day. We had Lemon G, GDP, Death Star and some Strawberry. All grown long before December 7th, 2023.

Unused Cleveland Grow lyrics:
from Cincinnati to Bedford and Maple Heights. Out in the farmlands and rural towns, they’re still gettin’ down.
To my knowledge, Riviera Creek from Youngstown is the only legal cannabis company in Ohio that is producing moon rocks and space rocks. This is probably due to the cost of the materials that go into making these high-THC products.
I once had a rep from Klutch tell me the reason they don’t produce moon rocks is because of the cost of the materials needed to make the product versus the return they would receive. I imagine this is largely the reason most other companies refrain from producing moon and space rocks.
According to Riviera Creek’s website, their moon rocks are cannabis flower coated in solventless live rosin and solventless bubble ice hash. I always thought moon rocks were flower coated in bubble hash and kief, but Riviera Creek’s formula is a bit different, and I honestly prefer it.
I have tried Riviera Creek’s moon rocks in the past. They were among the best-tasting and most medically-effective moon rocks I’ve tried. Their price was the only thing that held me back from enjoying them more often.
Riviera Creek’s space rocks seem to be a bit harder to find than their moon rocks. Many people swear that the space rocks are stronger than the moon rocks, which is possible. Space rocks are cannabis flower coated in solventless live rosin and THCA crystals. Riviera Creek’s moon rocks are the exact same thing except for the fact they have ice hash instead of THCA crystals.
While both moon rocks and space rocks contain flower, these products essentially behave like an extract. You put them on top of your bowl and bubble them into the flower, or mix them into your joint. You can also smoke them by themselves in a pipe with a glass screen.
I would avoid dabbing moon and space rocks or putting them in a concentrate or flower vaporizer, as this might cause issues with residue. Dabbing them can stain your nail because of the flower material contained within. Putting them in a concentrate vaporizer can clog up the chamber, once again due to the raw plant material mixed in with the hash. Putting them in a flower vaporizer might clog the chamber due to the gooey extract content.
On the packaging for Riviera Creek Space Rocks there is no info about the strains or phenotypes of the flower, rosin or THCA crystals. In regards to phenotype, I consider this product a hybrid. It came packaged in a standard Riviera Creek green Mylar bag. The hash was housed in a small glass jar with a black plastic lid that had a removable space rocks sticker.
It didn’t smell too awfully strong but it did have a weedy scent. I didn’t get a chance to weigh it before consumption but it looked to weigh about a gram. I had used a little bit of the space rocks before taking the pictures for this article, so what you see here isn’t the entire gram.
If space rocks are subjected to heat or humidity, the THCA diamonds might absorb into the rosin and become invisible. This will not affect the potency of the space rocks.
In the past I’ve had some people tell me their batches of space rocks looked gross and slimy but I purchased a nice-looking ball. Here are two photos of the same space rock under different lighting conditions for comparison.
This stuff was gooey and sticky. I was able to work with it using my fingers but I needed to hit them with an alcohol wipe afterwards. To handle the space rocks you can also use bamboo, wood, or titanium toothpicks or dab tools. The space rocks came with a small plastic spoon that I assume is for handling the hash, but I think it is better served as an ice cream-tasting spoon.
My bowls burned a lot slower and tasted humongously hashy when laced with the space rocks. I’d just plop a drop atop a packed bowl, melt it down with some hemp wick and be off to the races. When smoking bowls souped-up with space rocks I could feel increased medical effects compared to just flower alone.
While I like them both, if I had to choose between space or moon rocks, I’d go with space rocks. I liked they way they melted atop the bowl. I do love the combo of bubble hash and rosin with the moon rocks, but the space rocks just seemed so incredibly hashy. It seemed like they barely contained any flower.
I gave the space rocks from Riviera Creek a 7 for taste, 4 for harshness, 8 for strength, 6 for smell strength and 60 minutes for length of medical effects.
Metered solid for vaporization. Ingredients: pesticide-free cannabis, solventless rosin and THCA. 1 gram.

I’ve been a big fan of Certified’s flower and Flex Disposables for a long time. Until now I had yet to try any of their 510 distillate carts. The 73.9% THC Funky Banana carts were flying off of the shelf, and I love banana-flavored terpenes, so I picked up one of these products for my personal medical needs.
The cart came packaged in an opaque Mylar baggie with a big picture of a 510 cart on the front. You could not see the cart through the bag, as is the case with most vapes certified by the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control.
The product’s appearance was that of a standard 510 cart with a plastic yellow pointed tip. The oil color was yellow with a clearish tinge. The distillate had very slow movement within the cartridge, which is always a property I desire.
Here is the Certified Cultivators Funky Banana 73.9% THC indica 510 cart on a Yocan Kodo Pro battery. In my opinion this is among the best 510 batteries available. They’re available at most smoke shops for $20 dollars or less.
The oil was slightly harsh, as most banana distillate carts have been. The inhale wasn’t too bad but I’d sometimes cough a bit on the exhale. However, the flavor was excellent. I am a bit biased due to my love of banana-flavored terpenes, but I wish I could always find carts that tasted exactly like this.
It wasn’t skunky or weedy tasting. It just had a nice, light, natural banana taste and scent. It reminded me a lot of the terrific Tree Pharm banana 510 carts that used to be available at FRX Dispensary and Ohio Cannabis Company.
I had no issues with leaking from the top or bottom of the Funky Banana cart. There were no airflow problems, clogging or hash splashes in my mouth while inhaling. This vape was reliable in the field and performed as expected when called upon.
The medical effects were relatively strong. The strain was labeled indica but it didn’t make me feel sedated or lethargic. I felt pain-free and relaxed but I was still able to function as normal. For me it seemed like more of a head buzz than a body buzz. The Funky Banana cart really made me forget about the nagging pain in my lower neck and right shoulder, which I appreciated tremendously.
This vape lasted about a week with light use. I was happy with the one gram nature, even though it took two days off of my “day supply” purchase limit. If I am lucky enough to find another Certified Cultivators Funky Banana 510 cart on a local marijuana menu, I will be sure to scoop it up if I have the proper funds.
