Five of Cups and Nine of Cups
Sometimes, we’re the ones holding our own selves back. This week, we’re examining the way we talk about ourselves, the habits we continue that don’t support our well-being, and the reactions we have to accountability. Make a plan. Put some time into yourself. Dream about where you’d like to be in a year. Consider what the first step would be to getting on that path. Let your mind wander.
Kief, Enter a Dreamland
There’s no easier way to up the dream state of your cannabis than to sprinkle a little kief on top. Our Kiefer Sutherland kief will have you feeling like a lost boy. You’ll have no trouble letting your mind wander after smoking some of this. Sometimes, when we don’t know what we want, a dream state is exactly what we need!
What is kief? Kief is the fine, resin-filled powder that comes from the trichomes on cannabis flowers. Trichome crystals are small in size and have a high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes. Therefore, Kief is significantly more potent than its parent plant material. It’s a natural concentrate made up of the most flavorful and most potent portions of the plant. Kief forms naturally on the plant and is easily collected in a grinder. People love Kief because it produces powerful effects without the need for complex tools. Some of its main benefits include: Stronger potency thanks to pure trichomes, Smooth flavor from concentrated terpenes, Flexibility across smoking, vaping, and edibles, and Easy blending with other marijuana concentrates. In addition, many users appreciate how well the body can absorb Kief, thereby allowing them to adjust the intensity of their experience depending on their needs. It provides users with the ability to target their specific areas of need within the endocannabinoid system.
How To Use Kief
You can use Kief in different ways depending on your preference for the type of cannabis. Here are the most common methods:
- Adding as a topping to enhance the flavor and potency of a bowl or joint
- Mixing with other products (oils or butter) when making homemade edibles
- Using by pressing it into pucks to increase potency for stronger smoking sessions
- Mixing with the flower to create a smoother combustion
- Creating a higher potency hash oil product by adding to an existing one
If you’re unsure what to do with Kief, start slow. A pinch goes a long way because it contains far more THC than a typical flower. You can learn more about Kief here.
The Suit of Water in Tarot
The suit of Cups, in Tarot, is the water suit. Water is the element that connects us to emotions, relationships, and feelings. You can also think literally when it comes to water and pull out your water bong for the kief!
Why is a Bong so Nice for Kief
A bong uses all elements actually! Fire, from your lighter, Earth, from your kief, Air, from your inhale, and Water, from the inside of the bong. This is a perfect method for kief, however, because it’s going to smoke like hash if you pack it into your bowl head. Each one of our stores has a different selection of bongs available.
