Does it feel like your usual session just isn’t hitting that high note? You’re not alone! After continued toking, it’s expected to find yourself with a higher tolerance than you’d expect. While you might love the flavors, terpene based effects , and the general feel of your favorite weed strains, it’s normal for them to stop packing such a punch after a while. Not to worry – there are endless ways we’ve found to take your typical joint or bowl to the next level and bring back that full on stoney effect you’ve been craving.  Entry Level: Kief Topped Bowl If you’ve ever owned a grinder , then you’ve probably collected some of your own kief. It’s what the bottom layer of your grinder is for – and we consider it powdered gold! Kief is a very fine yellow/greenish powder, which comes from the THC containing trichomes that layer your flower. This powder is much stronger than flower, with a potency between 30%-60% THC.  A Trickier Option: Dabs & Joints Concentrates , commonly called dabs, are the heavy hitters! These are the concentrated resins and psychoactive compounds of flower which come in a variety of forms, ranging from drier powders and waxes to very sticky and resinous sugars and “live” extracts. These forms often test between 70% and 90% THC!  The best thing about infusing your joint with concentrates is that you can often find the same or complementary strains of concentrate and flower, meaning you can have a strain specific infused joint, something that is quite a worthwhile experience.  Method 1: Concentrate Infused Joint For this method, we suggest starting with a dry or easily workable concentrate which you can crumble into small bits or a powder (try live rosin or live budder ) . The more resinous the concentrate, the harder it’ll be to work with.  To roll: set up your paper with half of the amount of ground buds you’d like to use. Sprinkle your concentrate into the middle of the joint, top with a little more ground flower and finish rolling like you normally would. Voila! Method 2: Joint Wrapped in Concentrate Another way to infuse your joint is to wrap it in concentrate. For this method, you’ll want a sticky / more malleable concentrate (try wax or live sugar ). You can either (very carefully!) use a dab-tool to rub the concentrate on the outside, or can create a thin rope of concentrate to wrap around your joint, giving it a candy cane like appearance. This will ensure an even smoke. For the Edible Crowd: Distillate & Tinctures Looking to boost your THC but not a smoker? Not a problem!  Distillate is your new best friend. This base concentrate is what most edibles are made with, testing upwards of 60% THC. It’s a touch thick and viscous, so it works best dissolved into a hot liquid. It’s great to use in homemade treats (brownies anyone!?), or to add to an already infused treat to really up the ante. You may want to give tinctures a try as well. These work by either absorbing sublingually (drop them on, or under your tongue), or like an edible when consumed in food. These are usually an oil base, making them highly potent, and come in a variety of dosages for accurate and precise measuring.  #THC

Cannabis in edible form including gummies, brownies, mints, cookies, drinks, think any food products, are incredibly discreet and can produce safe long-lasting effects when consumed responsibly and when you know how much you are consuming. Unfortunately, edibles can lead to some trouble if you aren’t careful, we’ve all known someone (maybe even yourself) who’s taken too much or thought “this edible ain’t nothin’” and ended up like the meme. We know, it’s hard to gauge their potency, and yes, some of them are very VERY delicious. Eating too many isn’t going to hurt your body, but unwanted or unpleasant effects from edibles can be avoided if you know the dose of the product and what dose of edible works best for you and the situation you are going into. How many milligrams of edibles should you eat? Something very important to remember is that each individual person has an ideal dose best suited for them and their body. The strength of an edible depends on multiple factors, including the type of edible, dosage, tolerance, metabolism, and body weight. Two people may respond very differently to the same type of edible with the same dose—one may get stoned out of their mind and become one with the couch and one may not feel a thing, depending on those factors. Everyone is on their own unique cannabis journey, always start with a small dose of edibles and listen to your body as you go, gradually increasing until you find your ideal dose. Here we’ve created a handy chart to help you find the right dose for your ideal high, measured in milligrams (mg). So how much of an edible should you take the first time? If you have never taken edibles before we always say start small, 2.5mg is the perfect dose to begin with since it’s half of what typically a single dose is. Edibles in dispensaries often come in 5mg or 10g doses, so we recommend you buy gummies or another type of edible that can be cut up easily to make smaller doses. It’s always good to make sure you can visibly see the dosage on the label as well. “Start low and go slow”: wait at least an hour after taking edibles to check in with yourself to determine if you feel anything or want stronger effects before taking another 2.5mg. Edibles usually take 45-60 minutes to kick in, but it can take longer. Remember, if you take more edibles before waiting for the initial dose’s effects to kick in, both doses will kick in later and you could potentially feel too high. How long do the effects last? Well the length of an edible high depends on the dose of the edible taken as well as your tolerance, body chemistry, and metabolism. For the moderate consumer, a 5mg dose will typically last 2-3 hours. If you have a high tolerance or fast metabolism, your high might come down quicker. For someone with a lower tolerance or a slow metabolism that 5mg edible might stick around longer. When experimenting with edibles it’s important to take note of how much you take to get a sense of how strong that dose is for you and how long it will last. This will help you figure out the ideal dose for you. #cannabisedibles #chocolates #edibles #gummies

Two-thirds of the U.S. is in support of recreational marijuana, and the movement continues to gain ground in state after state. Yet the legal market has failed to fully replace the black-market sale of the same substance. In this time of legal weed sold in an illegal way, where customers can choose to buy what they like, what differentiates black market marijuana from the legal stuff? Any marijuana that comes from a legal seller must be tested by a state-accredited lab. Each state sets testing standards for marijuana to be deemed safe for consumers, and those testing results are available to every person that buys it. These labs look for contamination; things like residues from pesticides, screenings for fungus, mold, mildew, and verification that the crop doesn’t contain heavy metals. Each product is tested multiple times along the supply line, looking for any potential hazards. The same state regulations that mandate testing also dictate exactly how marijuana can be grown. Producers can only use pesticides that are approved by the Department of Agriculture and must keep records of exactly what they use. The entire growing process is strictly regulated from the temperature, lighting, humidity, water supply, and ventilation of every plant in operation. With illegal weed you can’t guarantee that it’s not grown with pesticides, or doesn’t contain heavy metals, really you just can’t be certain that it’s clean. All you have to go on is how much trust you have in your source and the people they associate with. Here at Rebelle we’re not just sales associates or budtenders, we are consumers just like you. Anything on our menu is there because we as a team carefully chose for it to be there. If we wouldn’t consume or use a product ourselves, then we aren’t going to sell it to you. We realize everyone’s personal cannabis journey is different and that’s why we try to not only carry high quality products but also a wide range of products to suit many needs and budgets. From pungent, fresh flower to soothing topicals and tasty edibles, whatever works for you we’ve got it. If we don’t, we’ll look into bringing it on our menu. #cannabis #marijuana #THC

Dry January 2023 continues a fairly newer tradition in which participants choose to begin the new year without hitting the bottle. This commitment can be appealing to those who wish to cut back on drinking habits that may have escalated during the holidays, or even from the recent pandemic. If you’re used to boozing it up it may seem like a daunting task to avoid alcohol for 31 days, but we think it’s a worthwhile effort, especially with a little help from our friend cannabis. Most cannabis consumers age 21+ have replaced or reduced their alcohol intake with weed since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic to reduce stress and anxiety, according to the results of a Harris Poll released this month. Half of the respondents (50%) said they increased their use because cannabis helped them relax, and (48% ) said they did so to help them sleep. Of those who said they use marijuana recreationally, a third (33%) said that they prefer weed over alcohol. Some benefits of switching from alcohol to cannabis may include: Better Mood Deeper Sleep Waistline Reduction Brighter Skin Stronger Immune System If you want to swap out alcohol for cannabis, your buds at Rebelle got you covered with plenty of plant alternatives for you to choose from to help make things easier for you this Dry January. The easiest and most popular way to replace alcohol with cannabis is by switching to an infused beverage or even creating your own canna-cocktail with a beverage enhancer. We offer a variety of ready to consume beverages from brands such as CANN and Levia as well as water soluble tinctures, drink mixes from Treeworks , Good Feels , and Vibations. Whatever the vibe you’re trying to set for the New Year, Rebelle can help you set it. Here’s a quick guide to help you catch the vibe you’re chasing. For a lighter effect, quench your thirst with one or two cans of CANN , these delicious cannabis-infused social tonic are as bubbly, refreshing, and sociable as your favorite cocktail, but hold the booze – and the hangover. Each low-dose can is dosed with 2mg THC and 4mg CBD for a refreshing social buzz. Comes in unique flavors such as Blood Orange Cardamom, Grapefruit Rosemary, and Lemon Lavender! For a medium effect, we suggest a can or two of Levia , a cannabis-infused seltzer that comes in 12-ounce cans. It has 5mg of THC, zero calories and zero sugar and available in three flavors: Achieve, a raspberry-lime sparkling water with sativa blend; Celebrate, a lemon-lime hybrid blend; and Dream, a jamberry flavored indica blend. Guarantee to provide a fast and predictable onset with a consistent experience. For a heavier effect we recommend getting extra creative and making your own canna-cocktail to enjoy! Good Feels offers flavored beverage enhancers such as Raspberry or Lemon-Lime. Each zero sugar and zero calorie serving delivers approximately 4.5mg THC and 3mg CBD for perfectly good feels. Treeworks also offers a variety of tinctures with various cannabinoid ratios, flavors, and experiences to suit your needs. Whatever you mix up we’d love to see!

Every so often an article appears about cannabis, pregnancy and babies born with brain changes, lower birth weight or cognitive disorders. Since we know that a mother’s blood co-mingles with that of her fetus, the topic of in utero development and cannabis use is not to be taken lightly. The Science  The most prevalent cannabinoids found in cannabis, THC and CBD, are bioidentical to two chemicals produced by the human brain. These “endocannabinoids” are active in the fetal brain and they support neuron growth. Using cannabis does add additional cannabinoids into the equation, perhaps displacing those that occur naturally in the body, but there is no research to date showing that displacing endocannabinoids is problematic. In fact, one study hinting that additional cannabinoids appear to protect one type of neural functioning that is damaged in children with abnormal brain developments, such as autism or fetal alcohol syndrome. Cannabinoids and human thriving  The late Dr. Ester Fride, an Israeli neuroscientist who, in the early 2000s,  investigated the ways cannabinoids influence a newborn’s development, showed that without a functioning endocannabinoid system, newborn rats failed to suckle or begin maternal bonding. They died much sooner than babies with functioning endocannabinoid systems. Fride concluded that endocannabinoids are essential to a baby’s ability to thrive. Before Dr. Fride, in the early 1990s, Dr. Melanie Dreher, the Dean of Nursing at Rush Medical Center in Chicago, traveled to Jamaica to investigate a group of rural Rastafarian women and their infants. These women smoked ganja and drank ganJa tea as a daily health ritual: Without access to modern health care they relied on these homegrown methods to maintain appetite and rest and to beat the nausea during pregnancy. Dreher, who followed 30 women and their babies for five years until the children entered school, found that infants whose moms smoked ganja socialized more quickly, made eye contact more quickly, and were easier to engage than the babies of non-smokers. There were no developmental differences between the groups. In fact, on tests for verbal ability, motor, perceptual and quantitative skills, memory and mood, the kids of ganJa users scored higher. Some of the newest research focuses on cannabis use and IVF, where knowledge on the impact of cannabinoids on fertility is limited and often contradictory. The results of a recent Canadian study between the groups of users and nonusers provides some reassurance that there are no demonstrable detrimental effects of cannabis consumption on IVF outcomes and early embryonic development. However, since the cohort was a small one, these results need to be validated by a larger study. The Reality Women throughout the world have been using cannabis as a natural medicine for thousands of years with no observable harms.  And women today are barraged by information about all the things we shouldn’t do while pregnant. Dr. Stacy Kerr, a family physician and cannabis educator in Santa Rosa, CA, with the assistance of other researchers and a statistician, examined the research on the topic and found some notable discrepancies with the ways the samples were put together and the extrapolations of the findings. In the studies of babies being born at lower weights, she discovered that all the women surveyed were asked if they had used any psychoactive substances (not specifically cannabis) and were also all from the same socio economic backgrounds at a public hospital. Both factors could have influenced the results. She also points out, crucially, that there was no difference in the Apgar score that measures the 5 key indicators of a baby’s health just after birth. The other frequently quoted study claims that kids of cannabis using moms do less well in life and are slower in school. But this research, according to Kerr, was skewed by factors other than prenatal exposure. When asked if she would use cannabis while pregnant, Dr. Kerr responded:  “For me it comes back to intent and how you use cannabis medicinally. If I can’t eat or if I’m nauseated or in pain, or if I have a two-year old who’s going crazy and making me so irritable that I’m yelling at the kids and my husband, and if taking a puff relaxes me and makes me nicer then, yes, I’d consider it.” Clearly, the question of cannabis and pregnancy is yet to be answered. If you are grappling with this question, it will serve you to understand the potential benefits and side effects and decide for yourself. Clearly, everything you put into your system while pregnant can affect your baby. Pregnant women should exercise caution when using any medication or substance. Do babies born in states with legal marijuana laws have more health problems? Research led by Angélica Meinhofer, Weill Cornell Medicine,  found that although the proportion of maternal hospitalizations with marijuana use disorder increased by 23% in the first three years after recreational marijuana laws (RMLs) were passed, and slightly larger effects in states authorizing commercial sales of marijuana, the new laws were not associated with changes in newborn health. And, medical marijuana laws had no significant effect on maternal substance use disorder hospitalizations nor on newborn health. In absolute numbers, the findings implied modest or no adverse effects of cannabis policies on the array of perinatal outcomes considered.

When it comes to intimacy, the right cannabis strain isn’t just about getting high—it’s about tuning in. Certain cannabinoids and terpenes can quiet anxiety, heighten sensation, and create a deeper sense of connection between partners. While cannabis isn’t a guaranteed aphrodisiac, it can support sexual wellbeing by easing stress, relaxing muscles, and helping you feel more present in your body. Strains rich in limonene, a citrus-scented terpene known for its mood-lifting and energizing qualities, are often praised for boosting confidence and libido. Apotho Green Crack and Realm Moon Drop fit the bill—bright, uplifting sativas that bring focus and playfulness without the heaviness of an indica. If you’re craving more calm and connection, strains with myrcene or linalool—like Anthologie Permanent Marker or Realm Kush Mints—can help you unwind, ease tension, and heighten body awareness. For cozy, sensual nights, U4EA Pie Dough delivers full-body relaxation that invites closeness and comfort. The key is dosage and environment. Too much THC can dull sensation or make you overthink, while the right amount enhances pleasure and presence. Start low, especially in intimate settings, and let things flow naturally. Communication and curiosity make the experience even better. Ultimately, the best strain for sex is the one that helps you feel relaxed, confident, and connected. At Rebelle, we’re here to help you find the perfect match—so your chemistry feels as good as your connection.

If you like packing up a bowl of that skunky, funky smelly green stuff then there is a good chance terpenes are one of your favorite things that you may have been oblivious about. Open your grinder, give it a deep smell. What did you find? A pungent, sour smell but ohh, that sweet herbal aroma that creeps out and lingers in the air. Terpenes are the aromatic compounds which are responsible for the scent of lots of plants in nature, specifically though they’re responsible for that yummy goodness in that grinder you’ve got. Let’s give it another deep whiff. Isn’t it marvelous? Say “thank you” for those beautiful terps! Like essential oils, there are a huge list of different terpenes, all with different scents and flavors. Terpenes are also responsible for producing differing effects and physical feelings. Some elicit a more or less energetic high for example. Believe it or not the reason that your favorite strain is your favorite strain, is the specific blend of terpenes in it. Most of the time strains have roughly 3 main terps which contribute to the aroma, flavor, and effects. Various strains, both sativa and indica, will express a citrusy terpene. Meaning almost all strains to reap the benefits of limonene. What makes a strain a sativa vs indica is not from a single terpene, but rather the holistic effect of all the terpenes it expresses. Ever wondered what gives certain strains their sweet citrusy aroma? That’s limonene, a terpene known to boost mood, relieve stress, and enhance even the most everyday products. In nature, you’ll find it in pine, mint, the peels of citrus fruits and essential oils like lemon or orange oil. In food, it’s used as a flavoring. At home, you’ll find it in everything from anti-acne skin treatments to cleaning products. And in medicine you’ll find limonene in pharmaceutical and herbal treatments alike. The Feel Heady, peppy, cerebral effects Perfect for arousal, creativity, energy, euphoria and intense happiness The Benefits Tapped for centuries as a component of remedies for bronchitis, heartburn, and gallstones Reported to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties Said to be anti-anxiety, antidepressant, and could potentially reduce stress Reported to have inhibited the growth of cancer cells The Palate Found in the rinds of oranges, lemons, tangerines, and other citrus fruits Has a sweet, citrusy aroma and many potential health benefits The Connections Occurs naturally in mint, juniper, rosemary, pine, and fennel Thanks to its pleasant fragrance it’s also added to soaps, perfumes, shampoos, and other cosmetic items, as well as cleaning products. While in the food and beverage industry, limonene is used as a flavoring in sodas, candy, fruit juice, gum, ice cream, and other items Has diverse industrial uses as an organic herbicide, a solvent to remove oil from machinery, and a paint stripper The Strains LA Kush Cake : This strain provides a surprisingly smooth smoke with an earthy and herbal finish. Limonene, Beta-Caryophyllene, and Linalool are the predominant terps found in this indica dominant hybrid strain Banana Sundae : This fruity strain contains loads of Limonene, Caryophyllene and Myrcene which combine to deliver an aroma of overripe bananas with a hashy sugary flavor that occurs on the tongue upon exhale and lingers long after. Wedding Cake : This strain got its name for having notes of vanilla frosting and is a staple no matter where you go with a slightly sweet terp profile containing undertones of Limonene, Humulene, Caryophyllene, Herolidol. Tips & Tricks As you explore limonene, remember that this terp’s effects do not occur in a vacuum. They are amplified or modified by other terpenes in a process referred to as the “entourage effect”, a theory that researchers are learning more about each day. #limonene #terpenes

By now, you’ve likely heard some of the incredible benefits of cannabis. It can reduce pain, help with anxiety, improve sleep, and promote relaxation. In addition to these (and more) amazing benefits, the plant also provides some beneficial results for female users. Here are some of the effects of weed for women. Alleviate Painful Periods More than 75% of women experience some form of menstrual pain in their lives. For many, it’s uncomfortable, but not unbearable. For a very small percentage of women, however, the pain can be debilitating. You might find it near impossible (if not completely so) to get out of bed and go about your day as normal. Weed can help to relax the uterine muscles and reduce your pain, enabling you to perform your regular functions. Treat Morning Sickness The glow and excitement of pregnancy can often be overshadowed by morning sickness. While many women experience it, some have it so bad that they vomit at the sight or smell of food. They can’t keep anything down. Weed has powerful anti-nausea properties. It can also help to stimulate the appetite, allowing you to eat. Speak with your OB/GYN before adding it to your routine, however. Reduce Postpartum Depression Approximately 600,000 women experience postpartum depression per year. Symptoms include extreme emotional episodes, sadness, anger, low energy, and a loss of appetite. Many people already use cannabis to help treat depression. Certain strains, particularly those high in CBD, may also be able to help women dealing with PPD. Assist with Menopause As you reach your mid-40s to mid-50s, you start going through menopause. While the symptoms of PMS start to disappear, you may experience a whole slew of new ones in the process. Some of the most common symptoms of menopause include: Hot flashes Night sweats Fatigue Insomnia Low libido Mood swings Studies show that cannabis may be able to help combat some of these symptoms, making menopause more bearable. One way it can help is by treating hot flashes. THC may help to reduce your body temperature, alleviating this uncomfortable symptom. As cannabinoids interact with the CB receptors in your ECS, they can help to get your body temperature back under control. Weed can help to improve your mood, which may help to counteract the mood swings that accompany menopause. It may also help to boost your libido and improve your sex life and manage menopause-related insomnia. Improve Skin Topical wee d products can help to improve the overall appearance of your skin. Ones formulated for skin health can help to improve redness and inflammation. They can also provide sebostatic and antiproliferative effects, which are beneficial for combating acne. Effects of Weed Prove Helpful for Women Cannabis can provide a whole host of benefits to many people. If you’re interested in using it to help with period pain, acne, or to assist you through the symptoms of menopause, don’t hesitate to speak with your healthcare provider. You can also visit your local dispensary and speak with a budtender, who can help to point you in the righ t direction . [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column ] [/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

…To make shopping easier! Do you know where the phrase “420” comes from? What causes couchlock? How to define the weed that best suits your needs? Read on for the answers… Cannabis : Refers to all plants derived from the plant Cannabis sativa, including marijuana that contains intoxicating and non-intoxicating compounds like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).  Hemp : the same species as cannabis, but with little to know Delta-9 THC. Hemp can also be used to make textiles, rope, paper, fuel, building materials as well as health/wellness/beauty products. Bud : Cannabis flower that is harvested due to its concentration of active cannabinoids. Also known as inflorescence. Strain : A specific variety of plant developed to produce distinct smells, appearances and effects. Sativa : The narrow-leaf species of cannabis that can produce clear-headed, uplifting and energizing effects. Depending on dosage, some sativas can induce anxiety instead of relieving it. Indica: This round-leaf species of cannabis plant originating from the Indian subcontinent. Effects are generally more stoney, body-affecting, relaxing. Too much can result in couchlock (see below). Hybrid : Strains made by crossbreeding indicas and sativas, creating genetics with a combination of effects from both parents. Kush : An indica subset that originated in the Hindu Kush region of northwestern India. Kush tends to be deep green with hints of purple, and is often sedating and calming. Haze : A sativa-dominant cannabis first grown in Santa Cruz, CA, known for its high-energy, buzzy properties. Diesel : A specific sativa genetic that smells of diesel fuel, hence the name. 420 : In the 1970s a group of California teens would gather and smoke after track practice at 4:20 PM. Somehow the number 420 became shorthand for getting high, and to this day, 420 has a major place in cannabis culture. April 20th is celebrated as a holiday in much of North America. 710 : July 10th refers to all things related to oil and concentrates. Turn the numbers upside down and they spell OIL. Cure : The process of removing moisture from freshly-harvested cannabis that makes buds smokable. The most basic method involves hanging plants in a dark room with controlled temperature and humidity for 1-3 weeks. Terpenes : Aromatic molecules whose pharmacological importance forms the basis of aromatherapy. Cannabis’ fragrance and flavor is determined by the predominant terpenes in a strain. Myrcene : musky, clove Alpha-pinene: pine, rosemary Beta-caryophyllene: black pepper, wood Limonene: citrus Terpinolene: pine, herbal Cannabinoids: Compounds found in cannabis including: THC : The most beloved cannabinoid–ignites the high. CBD : The second most prevalent compound in cannabis with powerful anti-inflammatory and relaxing effects. THCA : A non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw cannabis flower that turns into THC when heated. CBDA : Abundant in the live CBD plants, CBDA converts to CBD (cannabidiol) over time or when heated. CBG : The cannabinoid often referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids. CBN : Cannabinol occurs when weed gets dry and oxidizes. Supposedly useful for sleep and relaxation. See–even old weed has a use! CBD full spectrum : Product that contains multiple cannabis components including terpenes and cannabinoids. Full spectrum products may also contain up to 0.3% of THC. Avoid full spectrum products if you’re subjected to workplace drug testing as even a tiny amount of THC can yield a positive result. CBD broad spectrum : Product that contains a range of naturally occurring cannabis compounds, but no THC. CBD Isolate : Crystalline, solid or powder product that is only CBD without any other compounds or THC. Trichomes : Glandular structures that sit on the plant’s surface and contain the precious oils we love and respect. When leaves are covered in trichomes they appear “frosty.” Tincture : Liquid cannabis extract suspended in either alcohol or oils. Dosed with a dropper under the tongue. Topical : A cream, lotion or balm infused with cannabis’ active properties. Edibles : Baked goods, gummies, candy or butter prepared with cannabis extracts. Inexperienced users should begin with low doses of less than 5mg per serving. Concentrates : Extracted material from the cannabis plant that results in more powerful highs. Concentrates come in various forms, from liquids to solids and include:  Rosin: A process that extracts terpenes and cannabis oils from the flower using an iron, hair curler or tortilla press. This extract can be dabbed or wiped on a paper and rolled up into a joint. Shatter: A solid, brittle, translucent concentrate that is usually made as one large solid sheet and then cracked into small, jagged shards.
