Budtenders Ball: Police crash ‘weed party’ but the celebration goes on

November 20, 2015 By Manic Conrad

The DB3/Zoots sponsored Budtenders Ball happened last night at The Crocodile in Belltown. The private, industry only event, brought budtenders together from recreational marijuana stores throughout the city.

The show began at 8:30pm and lasted until 1:30am with musical performances by Pickwick and Fly Moon Royalty. Of course, we were looking forward to seeing Pickwick but wow, was Fly Moon Royalty great or what?!

In addition to the musical guests, a charity raffle was held and door prizes were handed out. Proceeds of the raffle went to Mary’s Place, which is a charity that empowers homeless women, children, and families.

We spoke to two of the founding brothers who were in attendance, Dan and Patrick Devlin. They both were beyond thrilled with the generous turnout and expressed their excitement for the existing industry and the future. Patrick expressed that this event was a ‘celebration on many levels.’

Cannabus Seattle

One unforeseen event occurred a couple of hours after the event started. The CannaBus, which was parked outside the entrance, was ordered to shut down or move to a different location for the duration of the evening. The bus was catering to attendees by providing a refuge to consume cannabis since consumption was not allowed at the event.

Police The Cannabus The Crocodile

It appeared that someone may have complained about the smell of cannabis as a police officer was seen taking control of the situation. The officer acted very professionally and cordial. In fact, this may have been the tamest party crashing we have ever witnessed.

All in all, the Zoots sponsored event was a raving success. It’s events like this that remind us how lucky we are to be part of an industry where positive individuals come together from all walks of life.

A special thanks to Zoots/DB3 and the Devlin brothers for putting on such a wonderful event, Kyle Mallory of Koopman Ostbo, Pickwick and Fly Moon Royalty for their noteworthy performances, all the budtenders who showed up representing their stores and industry, and the Cannabus for rolling with the punches while progressing the industry.

Marijuana Edible Review: The Goodship Co. Chocolate Chip Cookie

June 4, 2015 By Fischer Campbell

The Goodship Company Cookie Review

All aboard The Goodship, a Seattle based producer of artisan marijuana edibles.  High Above Seattle got a chance to meet the folks behind The Goodship at Green-Theory’s VIP Event, and we snagged ourselves a sea salt chocolate chip cookie (for review purposes, of course).

First off, let’s talk about The Goodship: the founder, Jody Hall, is a renowned baker – and she owns Cupcake Royale (Seattle’s first [and most famous] cupcake bakery & cafe).  Hall partnered with the mad scientists over at Db3 (responsible for Zoots edibles and concentrates) – and the rest is history, delicious history.  Db3 uses their state-of-the-art equipment to bring you Hall’s vision of an artisan, potent, provocative recreational marijuana cookie.

At the moment, there are 2 products available in I-502 stores – the sea salt chocolate chip cookie, and the saigon cinnamon snickerdoodle cookie.  Coming soon, though, are chocolate bars: coffee & dark chocolate, and deep dark chocolate.

The Goodship Company packaging front

Looking at packaging, The Goodship has a focus on seemingly steampunk oriented travel.  The sea salt chocolate chip cookie has a gold viking-esque ship emblazoned on the front, whilst other packages include hot air balloons, submarines, and some sort of funky zephyr.

We’ve touched on The Goodship’s intuitive, elegant and friendly art before – but it’s worth mentioning that having an iconic feel to your products is just as important as having a memorable name.  Hall & Db3 definitely accomplished both prerogatives, in that they have a cool name, and lovely art to go alongside.

The-Goodship-Company-packaging-back

On the back of the package, there is a little notice: This is your Captain speaking.  We recommend starting with a half serving to responsibly reach cruising altitude.  Overdoing it can spoil the ride.  A good tip of new comers, but I went ahead and ate the whole thing.  It was 10mg of THC, and for me it was just the right amount.

The-Goodship-Company-Seattle-cookie

As you can see from the photos – the cookies are a perfect toasty brown.  The sea salt is delicately present, and adds a second level of crunch to the consistency.  All and all it is a small cookie, don’t expect to fill up on one of these.

The taste is (obviously) that of a cookie, but with a slight hint of THC in there.  The sea salt plays nicely with the sweetness, reminding me of Fleur de Sel Caramels.  Taking a gander at the ingredients, it’s clear that quality is important – I also was happy to see that there was non-GMO corn syrup used.  I’d imagine in the coming months that we might see organic and vegan edibles emerging.

After I ate the cookie, we went to see Avengers: Age of Ultron.  Eating a weed cookie is the perfect solution to going to a movie, because the high keeps coming even halfway through.  If you smoke before a movie then you’ve got to endure the lines, previews, and whatnot all at the apex of your high… by the time the movie actually starts, you’re burnt out!  But with edibles, the timing is right on.

The Goodship Company postcard

Of course, seeing a movie wouldn’t be my only choice of activity.  Looking at this postcard I got from The Goodship, I’d like to be sitting out with my feet in the water, enjoying the sun as a panorama of mountains surrounds me.  Then a magical steampunk zephyr-ship comes by and drops me a ladder, ushering me to the highest of highs.  There is a whale, too!

Do yourself a favor, and sample this potent, decadent treat today.  The Goodship products can be found at many I-502 retailers in Seattle, King County, and Washington state.

Weed Party! at Green-Theory

April 29, 2015 By Manic Conrad

Green-theory event party

Green-Theory is putting on a VIP event for members only. But you can think of it more as a party, rather than just an event. After all, there WILL be a DJ.

If you’re not a member, relax. You still have time. The event is scheduled for Thursday, May 7, between 7-10pm. If you would like to attend but you are not currently a Green Elite member, just stop by the store before the event and sign up for a free, zero obligation meeting today.

So, this is how it works. If you are a member of Green-Theory, you just show up to their lovely modern shop in downtown Bellevue between the hours of 7-10pm on the 7th of May. But, we do encourage you to get there early. You can dress up or go casual. That’s all up to you.

Once you arrive, you will be greeted at the door. This is a private 21+ event, so your ID is required. To be on the list, you must RSVP here or email info@green-theory.com.

Once inside, you will hear the lucid sounds of DJ Kryspin. He will be providing the music for the evening. Check out his music DK Kryspin.

There will be a table in the back with snacks and refreshments to keep your appetites in check.

Music and food. What else could possibly make this event better than it is?

Easy. How about exclusive discounts, brand new product releases, and a little one on one time with some of the top vendors in the recreational marijuana industry such as: Phat Panda, Avitas, Dawg Star, Liberty Reach, My Weed Bunny, JuJu Joints, Zoots, The Goodship, Smoke Emporium and Dope Magazine?

If this was a music festival, that would be one damn good lineup.

Marijuana Review: ZootDrops Relaxation Blend

March 12, 2015 By Fischer Campbell

Zoots Zootdrops relaxation blend

Hello, ahoy-hoy, and *exhale* *cough* *cough* – AHEM – mm, where was I? Ah yes, this week we’ve taken a break from flowers, and also from candy edibles – we’re looking at a straight liquid concentrate: Db3‘s Zoots ZootDrops Relaxation Blend. You can find it at your friendly neighborhood pot shop, or use Db3’s store/product finder (neato).

Zoots Zootdrops Relaxation Blend Front

We touched on the producer of Zoots products in our review of ZootRocks – but let’s take a closer look at Db3. The company was started by three brothers (surname Devlin), and they have pioneered a cannabis oil extraction method that yields some serious potency and freshness. Based in Seattle, Db3 is committed to bringing the customer a friendly, consistent and artisan experience with their marijuana blends. We picked up the Zoots Zootdrops from Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop in the Central District.

The packaging for ZootDrops Relaxation Blend is a little bottle, basically like an eye-dropper-esque instrument where you can pump out proportionate sums of THC-liquid-goodness. Having the option to just pop this in your pocket, and mix it at will is seriously radical – but just remember that public consumption of marijuana (in any form) is illegal, so be careful about where you mix yo’ self.

Zoots Zootdrops Relaxation Blend Back

Normally we would discuss the specifics of the product – but there are many ingredients to list, and all that’s really important is that a “serving” is considered a teaspoon (10mg of THC).

Looking at the liquid, it’s slightly viscous – yet it mixes well into cool drinks and hot drinks alike. When seeing the ZootDrops poured into a teaspoon, I realized that the Zoots branding and packing made the product feel a lot more safe. If I had an unlabeled bottle of this stuff however, I think my wariness would significantly increase.

Zoots Zootdrops Relaxation Blend

Zoots Zootdrops Relaxation Blend Serving

ZootDrops Relaxation Blend smells like lemon and green tea. It’s notably blended with key tea ingredient L-Theanine, which (according to wikipedia) has abilities to reduce mental and physical stress, improve cognition, and boost mood and cognitive performance in a manner similar to caffeine.

Zoots Zootdrops Relaxation Blend Teaspoon

The taste is tart, and lemony (“lemon” is the flavor). This author tried mixing ZootDrops Relaxation Blend with soda (a Dr. Pepper-esque flavor), and with yerba mate tea. Frankly, the tartness worked really well with the soda – but not so much with the tea (which is surprising, as I had expected the opposite). For those who like lemon with their tea, the combination would probably be enjoyable.

Zoots Zootdrops Relaxation Blend Sitirring

Getting high with ZootDrops Relaxation Blend is an exercise in patience and balance. This author sampled the recommended amount, then twice that amount (separate days). The feeling of subtle relaxation is similar to what you get while smoking a cbd therapy strain. You get lost in the clouds – but to let your body be heavy with comfort, while not being totally ripped out of your skull is what you can achieve if you let this relaxation blend do its job (and by that I mean, don’t smoke while waiting for the drops to kick in – just let it roll solo).

Creative projects and chilling out are a must when partaking. It’s hard to imagine many people going on a hike, or being outdoors-y – but I’m sure there are some who could make it work for them (more power to you). For me, I was pretty much stuck once the couch lock and chamomile took control – it was light on the mind, but deep in the muscles. A true body high.

Db3 has something fine here, with ZootRocks and ZootDrops, and I’m excited for whatever we review next from this stellar local producer.
