    Bananas For Banana Kush

    The Banana Kush was simply one of the best strains I've had in 2012. Its onset is quick and spectacular, with a pulse-pounding, euphoric come-on bespeaking its sativa heritage and solid pain-relieving characteristics presumably from the indica side of the family. Not only did it hit fast, it was lon ... More >>

    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 Sweet Smell of Skunk

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

    Cannabis Peanut Butter Bomb: Sweetly Potent

    Seattle Medicinal Clinic's Nurse Ratched: Why You'll Go Cuckoo For This Cannabis Strain

    With a name like Nurse Ratched, one might reasonably expect this weed would be the cannabis equivalent of electroshock. But it was a much kinder and gentler strain than its sadistic namesake. Maybe the Ratched association comes instead from the preternatural sense of medicated calm (along with pain ... More >>
