Picked this up on 7/10 from Leafwerx in “cadet” cartridge form. MACmosa is the product of crossing two of my favorite strains, and I have to say, it lived up to my expectations. I had some pretty gnarly cramps and this strain provides a nice, slight body stone alongside some uplifting and calming effects. A nice vibe for chilling out during the day or starting to wind down at night.

Incredibly bright, lemony flavor and aroma; tastes like you are smoking those lemon-scented hand wipes from restaurants. It’s the week after Election Day 2024, and I can feel lemon shiv doing its best to pull my mouth into a smile…. Uplifting for sure!

Recommended to me last summer by a budtender who said it was great for PTSD. In few words: IT IS. It’s a nicely balanced hybrid that definitely hits more indica. Dawg Walker OG is a strain that allows me to function on my most anxiety-ridden days with the zen serenity of Keanu Reeves in the Matrix and in real life (no, YOU’RE breathtaking!). I had a half gram joint of this after smoking a little earlier this evening, and I was feeling ok but slightly triggered, and now I feel GREAT. I feel more confident and grounded and ... prepared, if that makes sense. PTSD has a way of making you feel both defenseless and on the attack at all times, and Dawg Walker eases that. The flavor is SPICY, with some lemon and pine on the exhale - especially the pheno from Soulshine Cannabis (I am fortunate both to live in WA and work in the industry). Now that the high has settled in (Dog Walker is a bit of a creeper), I feel relaxed in the body as well as the mind. (There’s a reason Soulshine formerly packaged this bad boi as a “hybrid”, but it is definitively on the couchlocky side; hence its current “indica” categorization.) This is a perfect strain for doing work - but only if “work” refers to a predominantly mental task. It’s definitely not a very “active” strain for me; it’s too physically relaxing for that. That being said: Dog Walker is a pleasant choice for a low level of physical activity like the name might suggest. ;) In short: if you are a person who carries stress or trauma in their body (and let’s admit: we all do) a bowl of this strain will treat you about as well as a professional massage, or an hourlong chat with a trusted friend over a warm drink. Dog Walker OG does the body good, especially when you’re in need of some solace :)

Easy to get to, though a little hard to find (tucked behind a small building off of Bishop Blvd, next to Birch and Barley). The budtenders there are always friendly and super knowledgeable, and I am given personal attention and service every time I come in. (Special shout-out to Vinny and Luis, who are always the MOST patient and kind budtenders - out of a roster of patient and kind individuals who work there). Great selection of products, for every budget and need. They even have a ton of CBD-heavy items, if you want in on the trendy wellness buzz. Best shop in the area for sure!
