This offering is from a small company that pools risks/rewards with other small growers to produce limited production premium cannabis products. It is sustainably sun grown in south central Ontario (or northern southern Ontario) around Creemore, an area getting up near Georgian Bay that is seemingly known for lavender farms. Ice extracted and supposedly pressed with a finger and that’s exactly what it looks like. Mine arrived broken . . .

Is it shatter or is it hash? While the consistency is lightly pressed moist sand with no goo, it has a kick that puts it in the concentrate class. But the high has longevity that I never get with other concentrates. That is all good of course, but the jury is still out about whether I like the high. With 4 small tokes I set out with my dog for our daily 2 point something km walk. It didn’t take me long to realize that I was HAF, with rubbery limbs and a foggy mind that probably shouldn’t have been out careening around the wilds of the local neighbourhood. A retailer in Toronto describes it as “a stake through the brain” (Body + Spirit) and while that may sound extreme, this does really fuck you up for the first 20 minutes before it calms down to a more enjoyable plateau of goodness.

Available @ retail cannabis stores in Canada. $27.99/1 gram

That's awesome! Looks very clean and potent, lucky you. Take a big hit for me.

I just wanted to add a postscript. The best hash that I ever smoked was some 'opiated' Nepalese fingertip that I had in the early 70s - probably 1972. It was one toke hash. I remember it quite distinctly because of its potency. One toke and you were nicely buzzed.

I tried one toke of the Terra Nova this morning as a wake & bake. Just one - about the size of a grain of rice. Boom. It is also one toke hash. Although I think I would rather have some of that Nepalese sitting here, the purple hills is a decent substitute.

yeah did you said its worthy for that money .,?

FWIW a dime went for $10 in the '70s. Care to venture what a dime would cost today? Look!!!

It's all relative. If it wasn't for the taxes, indeed it is a good price. I got my hands on some LH, not pretty buds (no bag appeal), but decent potency. 2-3 tokes = 2+ hrs. ($129) When you loose your stash and you simply cannot buy your strain(s) or can no longer grow. A man's gotta do what a man's got to do.

And if I remember correctly . . . a quarter of hash in Toronto in 1972 was about $20 - $25. The Nepalese was outrageous at $45 . . . Or it might have been $60 . . . .

Every time I go online to my local fave dispensary, I see this hash in their list. I know that I liked it and its longevity in the marketplace would appear to mean that others did as well, so I thought it might be time to try it again just to see if my original review was solid or just some shit written by a stoner.

As you can see, it has the same look and feel but it is somewhat darker in colour - which typically means a bit more oxidation somewhere in its life. The stats have also changed with this batch and the THC is now only 55.5% with a terpy 5.5%. It still has kick – just not as much – and its face-melting ability has been reduced somewhat, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Don’t get me wrong, this still gets you high as fuck but it is more manageable at this slightly lower level and I actually found it more enjoyable.

Still $27.99 for 1 gram
