Well, folks, it seems the Connecticut Higher Collective is throwing in the towel. Pack it up, light one last joint, and say goodbye to a couple of locations that couldn’t quite hack it in the CT world of legal weed. The Hartford and Willington locations are shutting their doors, proving that even in a state where cannabis is about as controversial as a Starbucks latte, running … [Read more...] about High Hopes, Low Returns: Connecticut Higher Collective Goes Up in Smoke

What’s Weed Looking Like in CT in 2025? And Where Does the Little Guy Stand?
Welcome to 2025, where Connecticut’s weed scene is a Multi-Million-Dollar Juggernaut.

New Year’s Dab: A Toast to the Chaotic Beauty of Progress
The future. It’s a strange, snarling beast, isn’t it? It’s unpredictable, untamed, and occasionally terrifying, but here’s the truth about that wild animal we’re all riding—it’s a good beast. Oh, sure, it has claws, teeth, and a bad attitude. It drags us kicking and screaming through political circus acts, climate doomsday forecasts, and the endless monotony of work emails. But … [Read more...] about New Year’s Dab: A Toast to the Chaotic Beauty of Progress
The Smoke Shop Hustle: Weed, Loopholes, and the THCA Gold Rush
If you've been anywhere near a smoke shop lately, you’ve probably noticed something weird creeping into the shelves: jars of THCA. No, it’s not some obscure herb for your salad. THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC, the stuff that gets you high. But in a twist of bureaucratic acrobatics, THCA has become the darling of smoke shops, thanks … [Read more...] about The Smoke Shop Hustle: Weed, Loopholes, and the THCA Gold Rush
The Turkey’s Toke: A Thanksgiving in the Grip of the Green Leaf
Well, it’s that time of year again—the one where the national myth of "gratitude" is paraded around, wrapped in a suffocating blanket of mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a grotesquely overcooked turkey. And what better way to ease the tension of a family gathering where political discussions are inevitable and your cousin is too damn loud than with a proper smoke? Yes, … [Read more...] about The Turkey’s Toke: A Thanksgiving in the Grip of the Green Leaf
Lexican Review (Lemon Skunk)
LEMONS! Lemons! lemons... That’s all I can smell or taste with this one. This Connecticut Pharmaceutical Solutions masterpiece, Lexican—also known as Lemon Skunk—boasts a citrusy punch, with limonene at 0.12% and linalool at 0.33%. It's certainly a testament to cannabis craftsmanship. I have to admit, they did a really nice job with this strain, and I found it to be quite … [Read more...] about Lexican Review (Lemon Skunk)
Colorado Flo Review
This round… I reached out into the cannabis universe with hopes of a brain booster. I was looking for a real “pick me up”. The menu at my local dispensary had Colorado Flo on the menu. I’ve had it in the past and always enjoyed the flavor of this flower. The aroma was slightly fuely. It didn’t seem as pungent as some of the flowers I had experienced in the past, but maybe my … [Read more...] about Colorado Flo Review
Full Throttle: A JohnsJoints Ride With Grand Prix
Let me paint you a picture. It was Wednesday, but it doesn’t feel like one of those slow, soul-crushing midweek drags. No, this day had potential. Maybe it was the gifted bag of Grand Prix from the madmen over at JustFarms that had me thinking this was no ordinary day. The name alone – Grand Prix – had me imagining my brain revving up for some high-speed, dopamine-fueled race … [Read more...] about Full Throttle: A JohnsJoints Ride With Grand Prix
White Durban Review
The weekend was looming, and I needed something to keep me energized. There were errands to run, supplies to gather, and people to deal with. I had to stay baked out of my mind, yet alert and on my game. There were things to buy I didn’t care for and conversations to have with people better left ignored. I needed to melt, but I had to keep my head straight, or I’d be devoured … [Read more...] about White Durban Review
A New Era Of Compliance: The DCP’s Role in Cannabis Quality Control
Picture this: a room full of lab coats and clipboards, each one a gatekeeper to the green revolution. The DCP’s new rules are a cocktail of science and scrutiny, designed to ensure that every nugget of Connecticut’s cannabis is as pure as a politician’s promise. But let’s not kid ourselves—this is no simple task. The stakes are high, and the margin for error is thinner than a … [Read more...] about A New Era Of Compliance: The DCP’s Role in Cannabis Quality Control
