Kush Your Mouth! (With Lemon Kush Cakes)
The Kush Cakes were moist, fresh, and delicious -- my tastebuds thought the treats were heaven on earth with a glass of milk. But of course, at medible prices, the taste had better be just Act One.

A Dragon Tale: Cosmic Dragon Puts The 'Super' In Lemon Haze
This week I visited the Cosmic Dragon Collective, the first shop in the past month without "Green" in its name. It's located in the Greenwood neighborhood, though, so I guess they still get to be part of my month-long lead-up to St. Patrick's Day, albeit on a technicality.

The Green Skunk, a new medical-marijuana collective in north Seattle, had only been open a week when I visited on a recent Sunday.

Kief Urban: Kief Candy From Urban Roots
"May Cause Drowsiness," the back of the label advises, and they aren't kidding, especially if you aren't accustomed to cannabis. With my tolerance level, the two candies produced a mild buzz along with pain relief and the sort of calm centeredness prized by marijuana advocates.

Cannabis Peanut Butter Bomb: Sweetly Potent
