I know this isn’t super shocking, but yes edibles do indeed expire. Food products eventually go bad, and edibles aren’t any more special (Okay they are in a different way). But that container of those “meh” tasting, long forgotten infused gummies… now what? Here are a few things to know and consider when it comes to these elevated tasty treats and their perishability. Let’s start by considering the ingredients. Some foods are more perishable and therefore are going to have a shorter shelf life than others, and that comes down to how it was made and the preservatives that are added to it. Some cookies and brownies were developed and formulated to be packaged and shelf-stable for a long time so of course these will have a longer shelf life than the infused baked goods you might take at home. Yes of course some products may not go bad per se (A gummy or chocolate bar), however they can get stale over time and just might not be as yummy. Of course, all packaged edibles you buy from legal dispensaries come with the best-before or expiration date. With products that contain highly perishable ingredients like dairy, you’ll probably want to stick to dates given by the manufacturer. But what about all those sweet shelf-stable goodies like lollipops, gummies, or chocolate? Sugar acts as a great preservative, however over time color, flavor and texture might be less than appealing. The best-by date doesn’t have to do with the potency of the edible, but the shelf life of the ingredients used. What about cannabinoids and potency? Does THC and CBD go bad? The answer is no, they don’t really go bad, but they can degrade. THC for example degrades into the sleepy cannabinoid you might have heard of: CBN. Over time and/or with excessive heat, oxygen and light, THC will break down into the less intoxicating CBN, meaning the euphoria THC brings may turn to sleepiness if your edible has been chilling out for a while. There hasn’t been a study on how bodily effects change when another cannabinoid like CBD degrades, though it’s a safe bet to assume that those old edibles may slightly decrease in potency.   This is where that common sense, along with our evolutionary wisdom as members of the animal kingdom, comes in handy. If you’re asking the question if this edible has gone bad, use your senses as a guide. If you detect anything funky with the color, texture, smell, or the flavor seems off, toss it. It’s always a good idea to keep your edibles in a cool, dry and dark place. Environmental factors such as sunlight and heat can degrade the edible and the potency pretty quickly. An airtight container in a pantry or cupboard is a great way to store most store-bought and shelf-stable products like chocolate and candy. But of course, always read the labels, if it says this product is perishable enough to need refrigeration, it should say so on the label. Will putting them in the fridge or freezer extend their shelf life? It can, but also be aware that unless they’re in their own airtight containers, they can absorb flavors and moisture from the environment. For anything infused you may make at home you can expect the same shelf-life as their non-infused varieties, just be sure to protect them from light, air and heat as well. But the most important tip for edible storage is safety. With cannabis legalization spreading and becoming more widely available, the number of incidents of kiddos and pets accidentally getting into edibles is also on the rise. Always lock away your goods in a safety box to make for sure it does not get into the wrong hands! #cannabis #edibles #THC

By now we all know that the weed we once knew has come to take some pretty interesting forms apart from just buds. But now with the world of cannabis opening up more and more a robust market of topically applied cannabis products has come to life. While you might be thinking, “Wait, you want me to rub my marijuana on my skin?”. Well not exactly but at the same time, uhm yeah pretty much.  Topicals are refined cannabis extracts that have been blended with some form of oil, balm, cream or similar medium to make them absorbable through your skin. While you might be thinking wow, this is the most discreet way to get high I’ve ever heard of! You should know that topicals aren’t meant to provide the euphoric high or really much of any noticeable psychoactive effect. What they are built for is to harness the therapeutic effects of cannabis and its active compounds in particular. Uses and applications span your daily aches and pains to sexual wellness. Topicals may not end up being the most exciting or exhilarating products in your lineup, but for users who aren’t particularly looking for that high or who just want to isolate a specific end use they are a must! Topicals for Aches & Pains Even as a recreational dispensary we have seen countless customers come back time and time again. Telling us how much topicals have helped them overcome chronic aches and pains that once ruled their day to day. Most topicals only take 10-20 minutes to get the desired effect, making them a quick fix.  Common complaints we’ve seen topicals be a great solution for include carpal tunnel, headaches, cramping, or general soreness from being on your feet or working manual labor. Many even report that some of the personal lubricants are a solution for cramps. Rebelle’s Pick:  Slate Topicals has an amazing Wonder Balm which combines a cooling sensation and peppermint scent with a 1:1 THC to CBD ratio to combat sore or aching muscles. Topicals for the Bedroom Yes you heard us right, topicals for the bedroom are one of our favorites. While you may not get high, the tingling and physical sensations that some of these elicit can be incredible. Most of these are lubricants in one form or another.  Rebelle’s Pick: Pleasure Oil by Her Highness, not just adds some THC into the mix, but its unique recipe is built to really enhance the tingling and euphoric physical effects.  Topicals for Skincare As you may have heard before, THC has been known to have positive benefits beyond the high. Which according to many extend to your skin as well. Nothing is quite as nice as finally getting some relief from chronic dry or cracking skin. Which is why many have turned to the reported regenerative properties of cannabis as their fix. Believe it or not there are even many psoriasis patients who seek out topicals for some relief.  Rebelle’s Pick:  The Body Balm by Nordic Goddess is perfect for some well deserved rejuvenation. This combo even works well at reducing inflammation too with a 1:1 THC to CBD ratio.

Cannabis has been regarded for it’s wellness benefits for centuries, and recently, its use has expanded to include weight control for many users. Although not all strains are created equal in this regard, some consumers have found certain cannabis strains which help them with weight management and regulation. There are two main types of cannabis, sativa and indica. Sativa strains are most often known for their energetic, uplifting effects, while indica strains are better known for their relaxing and sedative properties. Both types have been reported to help with weight control, but in slightly different ways. Sativa strains like Sour Diesel and Super Silver Haze are known to provide energy and improve focus, which can help users stay motivated and active. They can also suppress appetite in some people. These strains are ideal for those who want to stay active while managing their weight. Indica strains like Granddaddy Purple and Purple Kush have a more relaxing effect, which can be helpful for people who struggle with stress eating or sleep disturbances. These strains can also increase appetite, which can be helpful for those who have difficulty gaining weight. CBD and THC are two of the most well-known cannabinoids found in cannabis. THC is psychoactive and produces the high associated with cannabis, while CBD is not psychoactive and has a variety of therapeutic benefits. Strains high in CBD, like Girl Scout Cookies and AC/DC, have been found to reduce appetite and help with weight loss. THC dominant strains, like OG Kush and Silver Haze, have been found to increase appetite and promote weight gain. Cannabis strains with high levels of the terpene limonene, which is found in strains like Lemon Haze and Super Lemon Haze, have been found to improve metabolism and promote weight loss. Strains high in the terpene humulene, like Skywalker OG and Gorilla Glue, have been found to suppress appetite. When seeking strains for weight control, it’s important to consider the genetics of the strain and the grower as well. The potency and yield of a strain can vary depending on the growers cultivation techniques. It’s also important to choose strains from reputable breeders to ensure high-quality genetics. While these strains can be helpful for weight control, it’s important to remember that cannabis should not be relied upon as the sole method for weight management. A balanced diet and regular exercise are essential for maintaining a healthy weight. Always consult a healthcare provider before using cannabis for weight control or any other medically related purpose.

This women’s history month, we are excited to launch our first playlist from Clairemarie Rutledge: Women in Music . In Claire’s words: This playlist is an homage to us, to the most inspiring female artists that have influenced my (yours as well I hope!) life, to freedom, and woman’s history. The three tracks that introduce the selection open in a groovy and elegant vibe to get in the mood; a mood that will bring smiles and happiness. Another chapter opens by the French artist Corine, with the track Cocktail, you will discover different genres with strong bass to add a lot of character and sexiness. The warmer voices you will find in this playlist will be reflected through legends as Nina Simone, Grace Jones, Amy Winehouse, Sade and more. Speaking of warm voices, I also added a track called Wildfires by SAULT that brought me goosebumps over a thousand times; listen to the lyrics carefully and you will quickly understand the message of the protests Black Lives Matter we stood up for during the Summer of 2020 and continue to today. When I think about REBELLE, working around the idea of a powerful group of women building their reputation in the cannabis industry, I naturally thought about Change your style by Renee. It’s so strong, so sexy, so inspiring that you want to grab your girlfriend’s hand to dance, celebrating life! The last chapter of the playlist is introduced by Invitation by Saâda Bonaire. It’s the “night mode on” of the selection, meaning turn the volume up, add a touch of REBELLE and get in the mood to make your body move. The last three tracks are a special note because I used to play them when Djing at parties, when that was a part of my life. Cannot wait to see you all dancing to these throughout Summer 2021!

Cannabis has been a symbol of resistance for so long. Generation after generation the government has criminalized and radicalized this plant, and the substance’s conscious use in many political upheavals, such as counterculture, is not a coincidence. Even as total legalization seems so close to sweeping the country in the next few years, the subject of weed is inseparable from socio economic justice issues. Bearing this in mind, it isn’t shocking that the cannabis movement and the gay rights movement were and are closely intertwined. The most immediate link is cannabis’ use as treatment for AIDS, which disproportionately impacted the LGBTQ+ community. Given federal and local governments’ reluctance to acknowledge the virus’ existence and impact on a group of people it deemed expendable, those with AIDS turned to weed to ease the symptoms from the disease itself as well as from the drugs they were prescribed, which were often just as harmful. Aside from this connection, the two movements both gained ground around the same time and advocated for disenfranchised, outcast populations, working to completely alter what society perceived as deviant and criminal. Without the rigorous, dangerous work of queer activists, cannabis would certainly not be as (relatively) accessible as it is today. One such activist who emerged during this time was Dennis Peron, a man who is now considered to be the father of the medical marijuana movement. Peron’s fight for cannabis legalization began in the Castro District of San Francisco during the 1970s, where he coordinated smoke-ins to protest the ban of cannabis. However, soon Dennis’ passion for activism greatly intensified when his partner Jonathan West tragically died from AIDS in 1990. For years Peron watched cannabis help alleviate the horrendous symptoms the virus produced in his loved one, and in 1991, one year after West’s death, Peron founded what was effectively the first dispensary—the San Francisco Cannabis Buyers Club. In 1996 he co-authored the infamous Compassionate Use Act, also known as Proposition 215 which allowed for the use of medical marijuana. Proposition 215 passed with 55% of the vote, making it the first medical marijuana program to be passed at the state level. The success of the Compassionate Use Act in the face of federal prohibition set off a chain reaction that took place across North America and laid the foundation for the legalization efforts we now benefit from in the US and Canada.  Although the most prominent, Peron, who died in 2018, was not the only HIV/AIDS activist who helped pave the way for medical marijuana. Another notable figure was Kiyoshi Kuromiya—who was born in an internment camp where Japanese-Americans were held during World War II—served as a personal assistant to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the ’60s, and helped lead the Gay Liberation Front. Kuromiya was an openly gay delegate to the Black Panther Convention and one of the founders of the AIDS activist group Act Up. Following his own diagnosis, Kuromiya explored marijuana as a treatment for the illness. Further, like Peron did in San Francisco, Kuromiya ran an underground cannabis buyers’ club in Philadelphia to help treat AIDS patients. And before his passing in 2000, Kuromiya acted as the lead plaintiff in a Supreme Court case calling for the legalization of medical marijuana. These two viewed the HIV/AIDS epidemic for what it really was: a public health crisis. While national leadership actively ignored the virus, these incredible activists persevered in serving a community that was in desperate need of compassion and relief. Facing personal risk to make cannabis available as a way to manage HIV/AIDS symptoms—together with concurrent issues like anxiety and depression—these two early activists helped, and continue posthumously to help, countless people living with the virus. And they helped set in motion an effort to legalize cannabis that continues today. The work of Peron, Kuromiya, among so many others, made it possible for California to become the first US jurisdiction to legalize medical cannabis—paving the way for the many marijuana policy wins we have seen around the country in more recent years. Today, cannabis use among queer folks is considerably higher than it is for straight folks — not because of HIV, but because of the myriad mental and physical illnesses LGBTQ+ people experience at a higher rate. According to the 2015 data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health , sexual minority adults are more than twice as likely to use marijuana when compared to heterosexual adults. Almost a third of sexual minority adults (30.7%) reported using marijuana in the past year, compared to 12.9 percent of heterosexual adults. These higher rates of marijuana use coexists with the higher rates of depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, homelessness, and physical pain that LGBTQ+ people experience due to marginalization and oppression. We’ve come a long way in regard to both the gay rights and cannabis legalization movements, but now is not the time to rest. We still have a long road ahead of us. Cannabis continues to be federally listed as a Schedule I drug, and more than seventy countries still criminalize homosexuality. In the spirit of Pride month, we at Rebelle have elected Berkshire Stonewall Community Coalition as the recipient of our CGP Cares charity drive. BSCC supports the well-being of LGBTQ+ people of the Berkshires through outreach, community positive events, as well as opportunities for political and educational activities. Now through June 30th, Rebelle will match every dollar donated to Berkshire Stonewall Community Coalition. #cannabis #lgbtq #pride

Before Rebelle ever sold an ounce of cannabis, Charlotte Hanna knew she needed ROCA. The Rebelle CEO was deeply aware of the hypocrisies facing her nascent cannabis industry in Massachusetts. After all, she was a female entrepreneur in an industry where 87 percent of the pending cannabis applications were owned by white men . But more pressing was the state’s cannabis criminalization rates. In Boston, from 2000 to 2018, black people made up 66 percent of marijuana possession charges — despite only accounting for 22 percent of Boston’s population. If Charlotte was going to open a legal cannabis business in Massachusetts, she knew it had to help the very communities that illegal cannabis had hurt. That’s why Charlotte turned to ROCA , Inc. The Boston-based non profit had seen first hand how employment opportunities could disrupt cycles of poverty and incarceration among young adults. Since its founding in 1988, ROCA has dedicated itself to lifting black and brown men and women out of poverty and away from prison through outreach, tailored programming, and job training with community partners like Rebelle.    “I’m a big believer in partnering with like-minded people. I couldn’t have found better partners than Chris and the team at ROCA.” —Charlotte Hanna, CEO of Rebelle BREAKING THE CYCLE Marcus Williams, Rebelle’s Vice President, remembers how poverty impacted young black lives like his own while growing up in the Boston suburb of Dorchester. “Everyone [was] trying to make the most of what they have,” he says. He recalls a student from his high school, “a star kid,” who couldn’t afford tuition and was forced to drop out. The friend ended up dealing drugs and was eventually robbed at gunpoint. “Sometimes, if you don’t have a lot, you gotta work with what you know.” And what poor black communities know, he says, is cannabis. “All of these communities that the state has identified as disproportionately impacted by marijuana criminalization are also the same community where industries left,” Charlotte says. If Marcus and Charlotte could combine ROCA’s mentorship with Rebelle’s new business needs, they knew they could bring jobs back to poor neighborhoods and use cannabis to empower communities. CREATING A JOB PIPELINE After a chance encounter in Holyoke, where Charlotte literally ran into a ROCA employee on the street (“They welcomed me with open arms.”), Rebelle and ROCA hit the ground running. “Charlotte has never wavered from the idea of working with our young people and that is the type of person I want to entrust my young people to,” says Christine Judd, Director of ROCA Springfield and Holyoke. “We are a family at ROCA and I really got the sense that Rebelle has a similar philosophy and they believe in second chances. Rebelle hired ROCA to work construction on their dispensary in Great Barrington. Rebelle partnered with local community leaders and led a career panel to help educate ROCA members about the fast growing cannabis industry in Massachusetts. “I think this is the first time our young people didn’t feel judged for smoking pot,” Judd adds. “To see their eyes light up when they realized they could work for Rebelle is why I will continue to work to make our partnership a lasting one.” Now, months later, Rebelle is launching a one-of-a-kind mentorship program, where ROCA members have the chance to shadow all parts of Rebelle’s cannabis business. Marcus and Charlotte’s goal is to create a talent pipeline that will allow them to hire up to 75% of Rebelle’s workforce from disproportionately impacted communities in Western Massachusetts. “We want to be a permanent fixture, to provide opportunities to organizations like ROCA and mutually build together,” says Marcus. BUILDING FUTURES WITH CANNABIS But Rebelle wants to do more than create jobs. In addition to ambitions for becoming a certified B Corporation — putting them alongside community-minded businesses like Ben & Jerry’s, Allbirds, and New Belgium Brewing — Rebelle is also setting aside a portion of net proceeds to reward employees. “If we could positively impact one family by giving them the ability to save some money, buy a house, then that’s success for me,” says Charlotte, who first learned the importance of generation wealth while helping families escape homelessness at the Washington, DC non-profit House of Ruth. “Because it’s one thing to make money. It’s another thing to build wealth. And I want to teach people about that. Because when you have capital you start building for your future.” Everytime you purchase cannabis products from us — either in our Great Barrington shop or on our website — you help Rebelle further its work with ROCA, setting an example for the industry on how cannabis can empower communities and break cycles of poverty for good.

Cannabis consumption is innovating faster than most can keep up with! Do you know the difference between resin, one of the most common ingredients in your cannabis products, and rosin, a whole new toxin-free way of extracting ultimate potency? What is Resin? Resin, often associated with sticky weed remnants, is the naturally occurring substance that coats the plant’s flowers. Traditional resin extract typically involves the use of solvents, like butane or ethanol. These substances oftentimes leave behind residues in the final product. What is Rosin? Rosin, on the other hand, is a solventless extraction method that involves heat and pressure to extract cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant. This process results in a clean, pure concentrate, free from residual solvents or chemicals. Why Choose Rosin? Purity Matters. Resin extraction oftentimes involves solvents & chemicals to isolate cannabinoids, potentially introducing impurities. Rosin, however, is extracted without the use of harmful substances, ensuring a clean & pure concentrate. Preserving Terpene Profiles. Rosin extraction retains the natural terpene profiles of cannabis strains. Unlike resin, which may lose some of these delicate compounds during extraction, rosin provides a full-spectrum experience of rich flavors & aromas. The Pure Puff Advantage.  Rebelle’s Pure Puff vape introduces a new approach to enjoying rosin. Using cutting-edge pen technology, The Pure Puff offers the cleanest way to savor rosin, devoid of solvents or additives commonly used in other extraction methods. Are You Ready to Elevate Your Experience with The Pure Puff? In the resin vs rosin debate, the choice is clear for those seeking purity & potency. Embrace the future of clean vaping with Rebelle’s Pure Puff, where clean meets convenience.

As we always like to say, variety is the spice of life! Sometimes though there is so much to choose from and so many different flavors, highs, aromas, and benefits that it can be a little daunting trying to find the buds that are just right for you. Don’t worry, that’s where we come in! We’ve put together an all star lineup of our favorite strains on the menu right now from indica to sativa. These are sure to please even the pickiest of cannabis connoisseurs.  Mendo Breath | Strane | Indica The Origin: This strain came about through an incredible combination of OG Kush Breath and Mendo Montage. It embodies the best of both parent strains pulling flavors and effects from both of its legendary predecessors.  The Palate: Smooth as silk is the best way to describe it. Vanilla, caramel, and soft herbal notes are abundant in this rich and vibrant cultivar.  The High: This one is for the end of the day for certain, it will creep up on you quickly and set in with a powerful body high and euphoria that stays with you for a while.  “I’ve been searching for something like Mendo Breath for so long, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy a hit of it after a long day at work! And the flavor… oh my god, the flavor.” – Taylor H, Executive Assistant Kushberry | Cresco Labs | Hybrid (indica leaning) The Origin: A cross of two classic strains, Blueberry and OG Kush make this new edition an instant classic.  The Palate: The flavor of this strain is true to it’s Blueberry parent, with lots of blueberry and fruit notes. We also love how the more gassy herbal notes sneak through as well to round it out.  The High: Big purple nugs with bold orange pistils make for a super stoney and chill vibe that is true to it’s OG parent for certain. Many find this to be an amazing high for the end of the day as it has quite the buzzy body high that sets in awfully quick.  “Kushberry is perfect if you want that classic OG Kush feeling with a little more flavor and personality! Always a part of my rotation.” – Geraldine H, CMO Cherry Pie | JustinCredible | Hybrid  The Origin:  The always enjoyable Granddaddy Purple was crossed with an F1 cut of Durban to make this perfect hybrid. A little bit of classic indica and landrace sativa! The Palate: True to the name this sweet and fruit forward strain reminds you of a slice of cherry pie. The fruity notes are accompanied by hints of perfume and citric sourness.  The High: The best of both worlds is waiting just after your first hit! A quick burst of social fun energy followed by increasing waves of relaxation throughout your body.  “This strain never disappoints! Something about that sweet cherry pie flavor and the unique high has made it a long time favorite of mine.” – Barrett L, Marketing Wedding Crasher | Revolutionary Clinics | Hybrid The Origin: Crossing the always fruit forward Purple Punch with the powerhouse that is wedding cake made this beautiful hybrid with a lot of personality. The Palate: The classic slightly peppery wedding cake flavor is still there with subtle notes of sweet cream, but now has a bold finish of sweet berries and fruit.  The High: This combo of fruity and sweet gives way to a heavily euphoric high that is quite cerebral, engaging your mind as well as providing a pleasant tingling sensation.  “As much as I love this strain it definitely will not have me crashing any weddings! I get so zen and peaceful when I smoke this, but without losing my energy.” – Kenny H, General Manager Amnesia Haze | Curaleaf | Sativa The Origin: This strain has a little bit of mystery as to exactly what it’s origins are, but we know that this specialty sativa was created from landrace strains sourced from Southern Asia and Jamaica.  The Palate: True to many of the more classic sativa profiles, amnesia haze has an earthy and almost woody tone to it, pleasantly overlaid with hints of lemon and grapefruit throughout. The High: Expect to feel your mood instantly elevate and waves of excitable, giggly energy coming on. This one can be a little racey for those who aren’t familiar with a strong sativa, but is an absolute favorite among creatives.  “When I need a little inspiration a few puffs of this strain puts me in a great headspace. No actual amnesia either, just a really good time!” – Charlotte U, Marketing
