Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE MOODY BLUES!

And here we are, Johnny's top 3 strains at the local dispensaries to be read over one of the best 'smoke 'em if you got 'em' songs around, The Moody Blues and 'Legend of a Mind' which, sure, is an acid song but you can sure appreciate it on the devil's lettuce too.

3) Citral Glue -- Northern Roots 

This very Music Series is being written up on the Citral Glue from Northern Roots. A bad time for High Level Health's Bio Star mines to run out with this very strong, very long-lasting strain. A welcome new THC leaderboard member comes to Oscoda. 

2) Miracle Alien Cookies -- High Level Health

The write up on the HLH site says it has a "flavor profile contains layers of sour, musky gas." Shit, Johnny just calls MAC 'The Gas.' It's a powerful high straight off and has one of the better 'high' feelings after a smoke.

1) Bio Star -- High Level Health

The King of Weed® When Johnny first tried it a couple years back it impressed immediately as a strain in the 24-26% THC range. It really stood out. Then the THC level climbed up and up and up. Johnny saw one batch tested at 34.99% THC. This is the ultimate 'Get where you're going to be before you smoke it' kind of strain. Wonderful at pain relief for Johnny's terrible knees after a long day. Bio Star defines Indica as In-Da-Couch.

Now that Northern Roots is selling recreationally, a few things...

Now that Northern Roots Provisioning Center in AuSable Township has added a recreational option to their sales, Johnny has a few thoughts. First off, it has long been mentioned, yes even among shoppers at other dispensaries, Northern Roots needs to up it's flower game. The strains they have, in the words of Don DeLuise in History of the World Part I as Caesar while looking upon treasure brought to him replies, "Nice. Not thrilling, but nice." That's the NR menu in a sentence. They have some ok stuff, they just don't have THE stuff. Northern Roots needs some kind of flagship product to keep people from heading down US-23 to East Tawas. High Level Health has Bio Star, the king of weed. Some batches top out at 34% THC. NR's choices are much lower in THC. The Botanical Co. carries all the best concentrates. Their product popularity listing shows their Redemption diamonds (concentrated THC you sprinkle upon your flower for a higher high that look like tiny diamonds and diamond-dust) sell themselves. They are the only ones around selling diamonds. This is where Northern Roots needs to find their niche. They carry a huge amount of pre-rolls but again, see the first problem, the pre-rolls are just good to pretty good. The one thing Northern Roots does have the others don't are Moonrocks, concentrated buds of marijuana soaked in THC oil and dipped in kief powder. Talk about a hemp bomb. However, the Moonrocks are still only being sold medically so there is no reason for anyone buying recreationally to pop in to try this rare treat and shop around. Northern Roots is also cash only which is no big deal, so is High Level health in East Tawas. Sure Johnny would love it of they began taking ATM/debit cards like Botanical Co. but it's nothing too problematic. Both HLH and NR have ATM's on site.

So, up your weed game and sell some of those Moonrocks to the people, these would be a good place to start Johnny thinks. Find something you do better and run with it. A word to the wise would be to do it quickly as well, another dispensary nearby, Top Tree, will soon be opening on F-41 in Oscoda.
