The stereotypical stoner might spend all day lounging on the couch, but cannabis does far more than helping you chill out. With the huge variety of strains available for weed delivery in the Bay Area, why not find one that will make you feel focused and energized? But if you want to use weed for <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?product_collection_id%5B%5D=495">focus and productivity</a>, you’ll need to choose the right strain.
<h3>Here are five of our favorites:</h3>
<h2>1.   <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=Sour%20diesel">Sour Diesel</a></h2>
Sour Diesel is a historic and very popular Sativa strain that’s named after its distinct diesel smell. With up to 25 percent THC, it’s a powerful strain with intense cerebral effects. You’ll find yourself feeling uplifted and creative, so it’s perfect for when you need to focus and get the creative juices flowing.
Sour Diesel can be a bit much for users with a low tolerance for THC, so go slow if you’re new. And if you’re put off by the strong and lingering smell, try a <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/dispensary/greenrush-next-day/menu/bloom-farms-live-resin-sour-diesel-ccell-cartridge-1-gram">Sour Diesel vape cartridge</a> instead of smoking.
<h2>2. <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=Zkittle">Zkittlez</a></h2>
Zkittlez (or Skittles) is an award-winning indica with around 20 percent THC. It has sweet fruity and tropical flavors with sour undertones. You’ll feel the effect in both your mind and body. While your body relaxes, you’ll find it much easier to focus your mind on the task at hand.
As the high wears on, the cerebral effects will fade and you’ll be left feeling deep relaxation. For that reason, Zkittlez is more suited to short bursts of productivity than all-night study sessions.
<h2>3. <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=Super%20Lemon%20Haze">Super Lemon Haze</a></h2>
If you’re struggling to find motivation, try Super Lemon Haze to get some focus. Another Sativa-dominant hybrid, Super Lemon Haze is energizing and social and will lift you out of a funk easily.
It typically contains up to 25 percent THC and very little CBD. That means it might not be the best choice if you’re already prone to anxiety or an over-active mind. On the other hand, if you struggle with depression or fatigue, Super Lemon Haze could be beneficial for your productivity.
<h2>4. <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=Jack%20Herer">Jack Herer</a></h2>
An uplifting Sativa-dominant hybrid, Jack Herer has been popular among cannabis consumers for decades. It’s won the Cannabis Cup multiple times and is loved by creatives in particular. 
You’ll feel the effects quickly, with an energizing head high that’s perfect for creative tasks and conversations. 
Jack Herer can contain up to 24 percent THC, but the high is balanced and not overwhelming. This makes it a great choice for new users looking to try higher-THC strains. They’ll also enjoy the pleasant herbal and floral notes in Jack Herer’s smoke.
<h2>5. <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=Cherry%20Pie">Cherry Pie</a></h2>
Cherry Pie is an indica-leaning hybrid with a high THC content of up to 26 percent. It tastes and smells of - you guessed it - cherry, with sweet and sour notes. Like other indica strains, it offers a balanced combination of physical relaxation and mental focus.
Unlike Sativa-dominant strains, Cherry Pie won’t leave you feeling paranoid. Instead, you’ll be able to concentrate on detailed work without any sensations of anxiety or worry. It can be beneficial for people with attention deficit disorder who need a burst of concentration.
<h2>How to Choose a <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?product_collection_id%5B%5D=495">Strain for Focus and Productivity</a></h2>
There are lots of great cannabis strains for <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?product_collection_id%5B%5D=495">focus and productivity</a>, so you need to know what you’re looking for. In simple terms, Sativa-dominant strains tend to give a more cerebral, energizing high, while Indicas have more relaxing and whole-body effects. These definitions are a bit too simplistic though, and most strains these days are complex hybrids with unique characteristics.
Instead, you’ll need to choose a strain that suits you. And that will depend on your THC tolerance, levels of anxiety, and the way your brain works. Strains that leave some people feeling energized will make others feel overstimulated and paranoid.

5 Strains For Focus and Productivity

May 21st is National Pizza Party Day, so we’re encouraging you all to take part! The Bay Area is loaded with incredible pizza joints, so grab a few joints from us (pun intended) and order your favorite takeout pizza to celebrate. Something just sounds right about pizza and pre rolls!
It’s National Pizza Party Day, so there needs to be a party taking place. Naturally, many people aren’t into parties right now: and that’s okay, so celebrate today alone or (safely) with friends.! You can have a solo pizza party, or you can host a virtual one. If you have cannabis-consumer friends in the Bay Area, even better. You can order the same food and same cannabis products to create a similar experience. You might even throw on a Netflix movie or play a Zoom-friendly game together. Maybe even combine the two and make a smoking game out of the movie you pick! 
We’ve sorted through dozens of reviews and opinions to compile a great list of pizza restaurants in the Bay Area, along with cannabis products to go with each pick. All of these restaurants are within our delivery zone, so if you’re close to these spots, you should be close to us, too! 
Here’s what we’ve got to celebrate National Pizza Party Day in style: 
<h3 class="p2">The best Chicago deep-dish pizza in the Bay Area: </h3>
<h4 class="p3">Little Star Pizza, Divisadero </h4>
If you’ve never had Chicago <a href="https://littlestarpizza.com/divisadero/">deep-dish</a> pizza, you’re in for a treat. 
If you’re not a pizza lover and just prefer a small slice: you might not like this style of pie! Chicago deep-dish pizzas are enormous; they are quite literally a “deep dish.” The crust is very thick; think 2-4 standard slices of pizza stacked on top of each other. There is cheese in between the crust, and the sauce is on top of the entire pizza, rather than under the cheese-like traditional pizzas. If you’re ordering for yourself, we recommend a 9” pizza from Little Star. It sounds small, but it should be more than plenty to feed one person! If you like leftovers the next day, maybe order one size up. 
This Bay Area pizza restaurant even has gluten-free options. Keep in mind that gluten-free options may not be necessarily safe for celiacs due to cross-contamination risk, so do your own research regarding dining gluten-free. 
Since this pizza will require a big appetite, we recommend grabbing Sundae Driver <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=4">Pre Roll</a> for delivery. It’s an Indica strain and a cross between Fruity Pebbles OG and Grape Pie. Just make sure you order it in enough time to smoke and get hungry! If you don’t want to smoke, order some of Kanha’s <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/kanha/products">nano gummies</a>. Because the cannabinoids are nanoparticles, they absorb faster and are more bioavailable. Pizza and pre rolls just go together like cereal and milk.
<h3 class="p2">For the ones who want to take control and get creative:</h3>
Make Your Own Infused Pizza at Home
Have you ever made your own pizza at home? Once you try it, you may never order pizza again. Not only is it a generally cheaper option, but you can choose exactly what does or doesn’t go in it. Plus, you can top it with cannabis! Weed pizza definitely won’t make the pizza cheaper than takeout, but it is fun to make.
It’s challenging to infuse a pizza crust with cannabis. Once you’ve decarbed the flower to make an infused butter or oil: you don’t want to reheat it and destroy essential cannabinoids. 
That said, making this <a href="https://sugarspunrun.com/the-best-pizza-dough-recipe/">pizza crust recipe </a>and lightly brushing the baked pizza crust with cannabis-infused olive oil or garlic butter is the best way to green up your pizza experience! Make sure the pizza crust cools down before you brush it to protect those cannabinoids but warm enough to allow the olive oil to absorb. Here’s a recipe for <a href="https://emilykylenutrition.com/cannabis-olive-oil/">infused olive oil</a>, by nutrition Emily Kyle: 
Ingredients:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">16 ounces organic, extra-virgin olive oil</li>
<li class="li3">1 ounce decarbed cannabis flower</li>
</ul>
Instructions:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Lay a clean tea towel down on the bottom of the crockpot. This will create a buffer between your mason jars and the crockpot, potentially preventing any jar from moving or cracking during cooking. Fill your crockpot with enough warm/hot water to cover the top of the mason jars you plan on using by an inch to create a water bath.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Place the digital instant-read thermometer into the water. Start the crockpot heat on high. When a temperature of 185° F is reached, turn the crockpot to low.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">While the water bath is heating in the crockpot, measure and decarb the cannabis flower in the oven at 240° F for 40 minutes. Click here for a full cannabis decarboxylation tutorial, if needed.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Evenly divide the olive oil between the mason jars you plan on using. You can either use pint-sized or half-pint-sized jars; it’s your preference; just be sure they fit in your crockpot. No matter the size, be sure to leave a 1/2 inch headspace from the top.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Evenly divide the decarbed flower between the olive oil-filled jars. Wipe the rim of the jars with a clean towel and place the lid on. Tighten the metal ring to finger-tip tightness; it does not have to be tightened all the way. Do not tighten too tightly.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Once the water bath reaches a temperature of 185° F, carefully place the jars into the water bath. Place the lid on the crockpot and leave it alone to infuse for 4 hours.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">After 4 hours, carefully remove the lid, followed by the jars from the hot water. Set them aside to cool.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Once cool enough to handle, you will want to strain the oil through a paper filter and funnel, cheesecloth, or French press to separate the plant matter from the olive oil.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Save the leftover cannabis pulp for use in future recipes. Then return the prepared cannabis olive oil to whatever jar you would like to store it in.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Store the prepared cannabis olive oil in a cool, dry place. It will last longer if stored in the refrigerator and even longer if stored in the freezer.</li>
</ul>
You’ll need cannabis flower for this recipe, which yields roughly two cups of infused olive oil. Feel free to reduce the recipe if you want a smaller batch! Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer, but don’t heat to thaw. 
You can really pick any strain of flower you like; it just depends on the effects you’re looking for. For a great Sativa, try <a href="https://mountainremedy.com/shop?category_id%255B%255D=1&amp;strain_type_id%255B%255D=2#PRODUCT/1274214">this strain</a> from Bloom Farms called Strawberry Fields. Take the homemade approach one step further and challenge yourself to source pizza ingredients from local suppliers! Pizza and pre rolls, nothing compares!
<h3 class="p2">The best vegan pizza in San Francisco:</h3>
<h4 class="p3">zpizza </h4>
This <a href="https://www.zpizza.com/">pizza shop</a> doesn’t just carry vegan pizza, but they have plenty of plant-based options for you! They also offer substitution ideas for some of their non-vegan pizzas to make them suitable for vegans. They even have options for gluten-free pizza lovers too. If you’re vegan, check out these pies from zpizza:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li3">Vegan Cheese pizza (make sure you specify you want the vegan option with all of these recipes, there’s an option for both choices!)</li>
<li class="li3">California Roasted Veggie</li>
<li class="li3">Berkley Vegan</li>
<li class="li3">Tuscan Mushroom</li>
<li class="li3">Provence</li>
<li class="li3">And salads galore to go with it! </li>
</ul>
To accompany this incredible vegan meal, grab a <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/keef-brands/products">Mocktail</a> from Keef. This beverage is powered with 100 milligrams of THC. We recommend mixing your mocktail with a delicious non-alcoholic beverage like sweet tea and making an infused Arnold Palmer, but the choice is yours! Drink it straight or mix it - we don’t judge. Pizza and pre rolls, a combination on par with Cheech and Chong. 
<h3 class="p2">The best New York Style pizza in the Bay Area:</h3>
<h4 class="p3">Bibo’s NY Pizza</h4>
New York-style pizza is big, but not like Chicago! The crust is much thinner than deep-dish pizza, but the slices themselves are huge. New Yorkers often fold their pizza in half and eat it hot dog style because the slices are just unmanageable otherwise. New York pizza joints often sell their pizza by the slice, too, since they’re so big. 
<a href="https://bibosnypizza-birdave.square.site/">Bibo’s</a> has plenty of unique options, like Sweet &amp; Spicy and Pesto Please. Grab wings, a salad, cheese bread, or a calzone to go with your pizza. You can place an order for curbside or regular pickup, as well as order through DoorDash delivery! 
To go with it, grab a pack of Venom OG <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=4">Pre Rolls</a>. Venom OG is an Indica strain, and these pre-rolls have 15% THC, so they will build up an appetite but aren’t too heavy-hitting. Joint in one hand folded pizza in the other. What could be better? Pizza and pre rolls, name a more iconic duo. 
<h3 class="p2">Celebrate with us!</h3>

<h2>1. Dolores Park in the Mission</h2>

<a href="https://www.lazybearsf.com/dinner/">Lazy Bear</a> restaurant matched with this sunny location is a home run. Dolores Park is a famous local San Fran hangout. It’s an excellent choice if you want a wide-open space for frisbee, dog walking, or straight-up lounging. On a sunny day, expect a busy park filled with big smiles and good energy.

<h2>2. Portals of the Past in Golden Gate Park</h2>
Paired with Pineapple King Bakery + KIVA Pineapple Habanero Gummies
In your quest to find a peaceful location-based smoking spot, the <a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/portals-past">Portals of the Past</a> in Gold Gate Park is worth exploration. These pillars stand as a reminder of the devastation from the 1906 earthquake and fire, which razed more than 25,000 San Francisco structures. The Portals encourage investigation and contemplation. They once formed the front entrance to one of the era’s most extravagant mansions. Set beside Lloyd Lake, the Pillars are a welcome space for stoners to connect with San Francisco’s lost history.
Trending with the alliteration of Portals of the Past (in a Park), we suggest visiting Pineapple King Bakery with a pocketful of <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/dispensary/greenrush-next-day/menu/kiva-camino-gummies-pineapple-habanero-100-mg">KIVA Pineapple Habanero Gummies</a>. Pineapple King Bakery does sweet-baked goods right, from the Ube Pineapple Bun to the Matcha Pineapple Puff. Sweet, spicy, and deliciously intoxicating, you’ll find that Kiva’s Pineapple Habanero Gummies pair well with the scenery and Asian baked goods. With Pineapple King Bakery located at 1915 Irving Street, make this your first stop to pick up some picnic-perfect goodies. Pop a gummy, then walk the 15 minutes into Gold Gate Park to find the Portals.
Every KIVA gummy contains 5 mg of THC (with 100 mg per package), which means it’s easy to get the dose just right. Spend an hour or an afternoon lost amongst the Portals. It’s up to you.
<h2>  3. The Wave Organ</h2>
Paired with Philz Coffee Truck + Classic OG
The <a href="https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/wave-organ">Wave Organ</a> is located on a jetty in Boat Harbor, a part of the Marina District of San Francisco. It is a sight (and sound) to behold, with or without the assistance of cerebral flower strains. It's part public sculpture and part natural instrument. The Wave Organ harnesses the power of the ocean to produce subtle, mellow music. Created by Peter Richards and George Gonzalez in 1986, this strange sculpture has captured the hearts of locals and visitors alike since its inception.
If you can, try to time your visit with Philz Coffee Truck, located at the corner of Scott Street &amp; Marina Boulevard. Better yet, check the tide tables for high tides, grab some of the best coffee in the city, and hear the Wave Organs at their peak. As you settle in for the show, roll up a blunt, or hit a joint with a classic <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?product_collection_id%5B%5D=479">OG strain</a>. May we suggest Alien OG or Cypress OG as just a few of our OG favs. All OG cultivars come from a powerful genetic lineage of the ultimate OG Kush. No matter what OG strain you end up with at the Wave Organ, expect mellow, euphoric vibes.

3 Spots to Smoke + Eat in San Francisco

Regardless of the strain, purple weed always draws a second look. Combining these eye-appealing purple hues with the desirable effects and flavors of the popular purple weed strains results in a family of delectable products.
One of the most well-known purple strains is GSC, also known as Girl Scout Cookies. It is an Indica-leaning hybrid produced by crossing two cannabis classics, Durban Poison and OG Kush. Sweet and aromatic, GSC typically has very high levels of THC. This award-winning strain comes in several variations including, Platinum, Thin Mint, and others.
The following, are some of our own purple products that we highly recommend!
<h2 class="p5"><a href="https://www.greenrush.com/dispensary/greenrush-next-day/menu/dime-bag-purple-gelato-3-5-grams">Purple Gelato</a></h2>
A Bay Area native, this strain combines Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint GSC for a sweet, earthy flavor and a pungent, fruity aroma. Although a hybrid, expect Purple Gelato to produce potent, relaxing Indica-leaning effects. Dark purple hues and contrasting oranges make this strain visually appealing and a conversation starter with your friends.
<h2 class="p7">Purple Punch</h2>
An Indica cross between Grandaddy Purps and Larry OG, this is hybrid will ease your mind and body. Purple Punch radiates the sweet flavors and aromas you would expect from its name, blueberries, grapes, and sugary sweetness. Happy and euphoric, while relaxing and calming, this strain typically tests above 20% THC, so while it’s sweet and flavorful, it is also very potent.
<h2 class="p7"><a href="https://www.greenrush.com/dispensary/greenrush-next-day/menu/bloom-farms-watermelon-cookies-14-grams">Bloom Farms - Watermelon Cookies</a></h2>
Another GSC cross, this strain blends in the traits of Watermelon Kush to create a complex pallet for the discerning cannabis consumer. Fruity flavors and herbal aromas give way to just a hint of black pepper from the complex terpene profile provided by Bloom Farms Watermelon Cookies. Powerfully soothing and relaxing, this strain produces dense, large buds and high levels of THC.
<h2 class="p7"><a href="https://www.greenrush.com/dispensary/greenrush-next-day/menu/jetty-extracts-grandaddy-purple-ccell-cartridge-1-gram">Jetty - Granddaddy Purple Vape</a></h2>
Grand Daddy Purps is a classic strain from Northern California with a cult-like following. Consumers love the deep purple colors and the relaxing effects of this Indica strain in flower form. Still, as an extract, this pure Indica produces highly-potent oil that promises to help you wind down from a long day. As a full-spectrum extract, this product is cryo-extracted to preserve the full effect and flavors of the original plant.
<h2 class="p7"><a href="https://www.greenrush.com/dispensary/greenrush-next-day/menu/sublime-gold-malibu-cookies-cartridge-1-gram">Sublime Malibu Cookies Cart</a></h2>
If California had a taste, we’re sure it would be like Malibu Cookies from Sublime. The relaxing Indica vibes, blended with the sun-kissed citrus flavors, make this cartridge perfect for any outdoor adventure.  Whether you’re out for a hike, hitting the waves, or just relaxing on the beach, Malibu Cookies will set the ideal mood and leave you feeling happy, calm, and reflective.
As you can see, most of the purple cookies’ marijuana strain family leans toward the Indica side of the spectrum. However, many of these hybrids provide balanced effects that can enhance any activity. Whether you prefer the full-bodied effects and flavors of flower or the concentrated convenience offered by vape cartridges, Purple Cookies and its relatives are available through greenrush.

Purple Weed Strains: Popular Purple Strains Reviewed

Whether it's stoner classics or mind-bending documentaries, some movies just go better while high. Adding weed into the equation often adds in an extra layer of interest —a little more laughter, a little more intrigue, or in some cases, a more potent social commentary. If you have an evening off or lazy Sunday ahead of you, roll one up and press play on one of these must-see-high cult films. These suggestions, for best movies to watch stoned, come straight from the heart and are based on our great experience as a stoned movie critic.
<h2 class="p3">8 Movies to Watch Stoned</h2>
<h3 class="p3">The Dark Crystal (1982)</h3>
If you fell in love with Jim Henson's original movie, it's time to revisit the magic. With the new Netflix series ready to expand on the story, it's time to refresh the old. Follow along with the fantasy of the sweet Gelflings and the truly disgusting Skeksis in the magical world of Thra.
Why does this puppet epic fantasy pair so well with an edible or smokable? A puff of "<a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/bloom-farms">magical flower</a>" helps dissolve the barrier between make-believe and reality. Bloom Farms flower connects with the spirit of the movie with its 1<a href="https://getbloomfarms.com/giveback/">:1 meal program</a>. Soon, with a few hits, you'll be as concerned about the plight of the Gelflings as the latest COVID news.
<h3 class="p3">The Big Lebowski (1998)</h3>
No stoner-flix list is complete without this all-time cult classic. Why is this 20-year-old movie still making top marks among stoners? Because Jeff Bridges' character remains dedicatedly high for the entire film.
Join along with a <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/dime-bag/products">pre roll</a> in hand as you follow The Dude on a series of misadventures. Feel free to yell out those all-too-memorable lines right along with Bridges: "I'm the Dude, so that's what you call me. That or, uh His Dudeness, or uh Duder, or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing." <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/dime-bag">Dime Bag</a> has a large selection of pre rolls so you can tailor your high to make this film.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="p3">Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)</h3>
Johnny Depp was once the king of weird in Hollywood. One of Depp's most memorable roles (and one of the greatest films in modern history) is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Depp seamlessly transforms into great American writer Hunter S. Thompson and takes the viewer on a wild ride through Vegas.
It's full of drugs, gonzo journalism, and strange encounters with American culture. Because it blends reality with fantasy and fantasy with intoxication, it's ideal for pairing with an <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/proof/products">herbal supplement</a>. Lose your mind with Thompson as he tries to survive a journalistic nightmare in Las Vegas.
<h3 class="p3">Samsara (2011)</h3>
If your vision of a perfect stoner movie means beautiful scenes and thought-provoking content, you'll fall in love with Samsara. According to IMDB, Samsara was filmed over nearly five years in 25 countries on five continents and shot on 70-millimeter film. “Samsara transports us to the varied worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes, and natural wonders."
It is quite literally a stunning visual masterpiece. Just like <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/cheap-weed/products">weed</a>, it will open your mind, connect you with nature, and inspire creativity. You should layer in micro-dosing for the most full-bodied and "deep" experience.
<h3 class="p3">Sausage Party (2016)</h3>
Grab your weed-infused treats for this animated film about talking foods. And just like those THC<a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?product_collection_id%5B%5D=343">-laden gummies</a>, it's for adults only. Sausage Party is a highly suggestive and inappropriate film based around the lives of foods in your kitchen.
That means hot dogs, buns, and condiments, with a sexualized relationship that your dirty mind is already dreaming up. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea—but for the stoner who refused to grow up from their college years, it is perfect. It's dirty, hysterical, and best served to people who love a bit of raunchy humor.
<h3 class="p3">What We Do in the Shadows (2019)</h3>
Ever wonder what vampires do? It turns out they are just like us: fighting with roommates, starting beef with the neighbors, and complaining about their lovers.
What We Do in the Shadows is an ingenious mockumentary-style movie exploring the lives of vampires, but under the pretense that they live together as roommates. Written, directed, and starred in by Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) and Taika Waititi (Thor), you already know that it's going to be a sharp-witted riot to watch. Add in a sprinkle of cannabis with <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/old-pal/products">Old Pal</a> and you'll find yourself giggling long after the movie is over!
<h3 class="p3">Inception (2010)</h3>
Even if Leonardo Dicaprio isn't your usual jam, his role in Inception is legendary. This film is on every stoner’s favorite movie list thanks to its mind-bending, trippy plot.
As a stoner, this film is an excellent rewatch because you'll likely need a few sessions to grasp the full concept.

Curious about how to order weed online? Read on to learn how greenrush simplifies buying weed online with a few simple clicks.
Without question, 2020 was a year for transition. Because of a global pandemic, we had to find new ways to go about our daily lives, and, not surprisingly, technology played a significant role. From the way we attend work to the ways we gather with family to how we shop for groceries and even order weed, technology made it possible to stay connected and get the things we need while remaining physically disconnected.
As with most changes, learning to adapt can be difficult and even a little scary. If you’ve been thinking about ordering weed online, let us take a moment to walk you through the process.
<h2 class="p4">Step by Step Weed Ordering Guide from greenrush</h2>
Ordering weed online doesn’t have to be intimidating or troublesome. Still, like any online ordering process, there are a few steps you’ll need to take to get your weed delivered directly to your door!
<h4 class="p5">Step One: Set your location</h4>
When you order a pizza, you don’t expect the driver to guess where you live. Likewise, when you order cannabis, the first step is to submit your zip code where you’d like to have your weed delivered. By entering your zip code, greenrush can narrow down the list of available products in your immediate area so we can ensure timely delivery.
<h4 class="p5">Step Two: Shop for your product</h4>
What kind of cannabis products are you looking for? greenrush allows you to filter the various products in several ways:
<ul class="ul1">

Maybe you want a <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?strain_type_id%5B%5D=2">daytime sativa</a> that won’t put you down for the count. Or perhaps you’re looking for a good night’s sleep and enjoy a <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?strain_type_id%5B%5D=1">heavier indica effect</a>. On the greenrush platform, you can filter products by the type of effect you need.</li>
<li class="li3">By Product – Most of us have a preference for how we consume cannabis. You may prefer flower, concentrates, or edibles. Whatever you’re looking for, greenrush allows you to filter your products by category, so you don’t have to waste time scrolling through products you don’t want.</li>
<li class="li3"><a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brands">By Brand</a> – greenrush carries all your favorite cannabis brands, including Bloom Farms, KIVA, and Jetty Extracts, along with dozens of others. So, if you’re looking for a specific product made by a particular brand, we’ve got you covered!</li>
<li class="li3">Scheduled or On-Demand – If you’re looking for availability in the 90-minute window, or want to hold off until Friday after work, our ordering platform allows you to order products on-demand or schedule out the delivery for a future date. The option to schedule your delivery opens up a huge menu of cannabis products to choose from.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="p5">Step Three: Create a greenrush account and verify your age</h4>
Cannabis is a highly regulated, controlled industry, and at greenrush, we follow the rules and regulations. When you create your account on our platform, you will need to add your information, including a picture of your government-issued identification. Our system can quickly verify your age, allowing you to make your legal cannabis purchase.
<h4 class="p5">Step Four: Place your order</h4>
Once you’ve selected your products, then you simply place the order. No payment is necessary online, as your delivery driver will collect payment when he arrives. If you’re not quite sure what you need, be sure to reach out to one of our Product Advisors to help you find the right product and answer any questions you might have.
<h4 class="p5">Step Five: Receive your weed delivery</h4>
You will receive notifications about the entire process. We’ll send you a text when we receive your order and keep you updated each step of the way.

How to Order Weed Online

As any new or experienced smoker is sure to know, there are many ways to consume cannabis these days. Of course, you have smokeless options like edibles, topicals, and vapes, but there are just as many options to choose from when it comes to lighting up. You can roll a joint, pack a bowl, use a bong, or use a weed bubbler! Unsure of what that is? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here's a guide on how to use a weed bubbler.
<h2>What is a Weed Bubbler?</h2>
A weed bubbler is a <a href="https://www.cannainsider.com/reviews/marijuana-glossary/bubbler/">portable</a> smoking pipe made of hand-blown glass, used to filter and purify the smoke just like a bong does. A bubbler, however, is smaller than a bong and does not have a removable bowl. The concept of a weed bubbler is akin to a pipe, except there is water involved. 
<h2>Weed Bubbler vs. Weed Bong</h2>
Bubblers are quite impressive and, in a way, somewhat similar to bongs. They have a mouthpiece, a stem, a chamber (or base) for the water, and a bowl for you to pack your glorious flower. Comparable to a <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/how-to-clean-a-bong/">bong</a>, a weed bubbler also has a water-filled chamber to cool the smoke down, filtering it before hitting your lungs. If you know how to use a bong, using a weed bubbler will be a piece of cake.
The primary difference between a weed bubbler and a glass bong is that the bowls on bubblers tend to be much smaller. Additionally, bubblers only - for the most part - have fixed downstems, meaning you can't remove them and clean them. 
Bubblers are a middle-of-the-road option when you can't decide between using a traditional pipe or a full-on bong. The portability function is undoubtedly advantageous for using a bubbler over a bong and fills the need when you want a little more out of your smoke than a pipe can provide.
<h3>Why Use A Bubbler Instead?</h3>
Now, while there is a comfortability of smoking out of a nice glass bong, one should know the benefits of using a weed bubbler; the perks may win you over. Some benefits of <a href="https://www.grasscity.com/knowledgebase/bubbler-bong.html">using</a> a weed bubbler include:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Smoother hit</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Better tasting hit</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Easier to handle</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">No need for extra pieces</li>
</ul>
<h2>How To Use a Weed Bubbler: Step-by-Step</h2>
This step-by-step process will make it easy to understand how to use a weed bubbler for beginners and experienced alike.
<h3>Step One: Add Water to Water Chamber</h3>
First, you will want to make sure to fill the base of the weed bubbler with water. Depending on the stem's length, it's best to fill the bubbler's water chamber about half full. As an illustration, you need enough water to produce bubbles, but not so much it splashes into the mouthpiece.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6166" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/GR_Bubbler_Gif1.gif" alt="how to use a weed bubbler" width="652" height="346" />
<h3>Step Two: Pack the Bowl</h3>
Next, go ahead and grind up your favorite cannabis strain and pack the bowl of your weed bubbler. Like a regular pipe, don't pack your flower too tight to the point you cannot get good airflow through the bud when igniting. 
<h3>Step Three: Light It Up!</h3>
Once you have packed the bowl with cannabis, light the bowl with one hand while using your other hand to cover the carb. Covering the carb shuts off all external airflow and ensures a smooth and tight hit every time. As you inhale, the smoke will flow from the bowl and into the water, creating tons of tiny bubbles*. 
*This bubbling action is what is filtering the smoke before entering your lungs.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6167" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/GR_Bubbler_Gif2.gif" alt="how to use a weed bubbler" width="652" height="346" />
<h3>Step Four: Clear the Chamber</h3>
When you are ready to take the hit, remove your finger from the carb, allowing your lungs to clear - or inhale - the smoke from the chamber. 
<h3>A Perfect Piece</h3>
Inhale, bubble, exhale, and repeat as necessary! It truly is that easy. A bubbler is a perfect piece to share with friends or take on your travels. Enjoy this portable yet sophisticated cannabis consumption method!
To go over again, one tip to keep in mind when using a bubbler is that, unlike a bong that someone can take apart, a bubbler is one solid piece. That means you might want to clean your bubbler more often than you would your <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/how-to-clean-a-bong/">bong</a> to keep things fresh. 
For example, it may not be a bad idea to replace the water and rinse it out after each use to make sure residue has a more challenging time building up. Cleanliness is, as they say, next to godliness, so you'll undoubtedly want to come up with a basic cleaning routine to keep your bubbler in tip-top shape.

<h2>Types of Weed Bubblers</h2>
If you're in the market for a new piece or want to treat yourself, you will notice various types of weed bubblers exist. While there are many bubblers, they all have the same functionality: stem, bowl, mouthpiece, and a water chamber. You'll notice by reading the <a href="https://www.wikileaf.com/thestash/what-is-a-weed-bubbler/">following</a> bubbler descriptions the main difference between individual pieces is the aesthetics.
<h3>Hammer Bubbler</h3>
A hammer bubbler gets its name because it is propped up by a stand, making it appear like a hammer. Pretty straightforward.
<h3>Sidecar Bubbler</h3>
These have a "sidecar mouthpiece" branching off from the chamber and angled from the side rather than the top. The design prevents any splashes or loss of water from the bubbler.
<h3>Sherlock Bubbler</h3>
If you're familiar with sherlock pipes, then this bubbler type is no stranger. It's just a piece in the "S" shape.
<h3>Pendant Bubbler</h3>
If you're looking for a fashion accessory, a pendant bubbler will hang around your neck as an adorable pendant. Pendant weed bubblers usually come with a small hole and string to tie around your neck so you can rock out with your bubbler out.
<h3>Double Bubbler</h3>
Double double bubbler trouble. Literally, this has two water chambers as opposed to one. Your smoke will be filtered twice, offering an even smoother hit.
<h2>Weed Bubbler Galore</h2>
Oh, there are so many weed bubbler options! But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Accompany the weed bubbler with a new strain and get ready for a remarkable experience...

How To Use A Weed Bubbler

Edibles are becoming increasingly popular as a method of consuming cannabis, both medically and recreationally. The range of edibles available in dispensaries can make your head spin with everything from chocolate bars, baked goods, hard candies to gummies, sodas, and everything in between. Due to the variety and possibilities that one can find within edibles, we will break down how to make weed edibles and how they work!
<h2>What Are Weed Edibles?</h2>
A weed edible is a food, candy, or beverage infused with cannabis. Many factors and reasons go into the "why" of edibles, with the most important being that they are entirely smokeless. For some, the thought of lighting and inhaling marijuana in the standard smoking fashion doesn't quite sit right, which is understandable considering the health issues associated with smoking. 
Edibles are the easiest way to consume cannabis without having to spark up; they provide the same if not more intense effects. Once you know the proper amounts of cannabis per serving, you can quickly learn how it will affect you and adjust accordingly for the perfect high.
<h2>How Are They Made?</h2>
In the same way, you can use cannaoil in place of olive oil in wonderful dinner recipes. Spicing up spaghetti, drizzling over steaks, using it as a part of a dressing, the length of possibilities are truly endless with cannaoil! Continue reading to find out how to start the process of making edibles at home… 
<h3>Strain</h3>
It may seem trivial, but the very first step is deciding which strain - Sativa or Indica - to use as your cannabis ingredient in the recipe. External factors to consider before making the weed edibles include the type of occasion, time of day, set and setting, and the company. Although weed impacts everyone differently, Sativa gives users energy, and Indica is better for relaxation and sleep.
<h3>Decarboxylating the Cannabis</h3>
The second step is to decarboxylate the cannabis. Refer to <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/blog/make-cannabutter">Cooking With Cannabis: How To Make Cannabutter</a> to learn how to properly undergo the decarboxylation process. 
Decarboxylation is a necessary step in the process before making the weed edibles because it is what makes the weed, weed. Without igniting the cannabis with heat, raw weed is non-psychoactive, full of THCA, and considered a superfood by some. Moreover, decarboxylating - or heating - the cannabis above 100ºF will transform the THCA chemical compounds into THC, the plant's component that makes you high.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6093" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/how_to_make_weed_edibles_1_pixabay.jpg" alt="how to make weed edibles" width="1920" height="1920" />
<h3>Infusion </h3>
The final step is the infusion. With the most important task out of the way, it's now time to mix your THC-active cannabutter or cannaoil into the recipe you are following.
<h2>Are There Alternatives to Cannabutter?</h2>
Say you forget you just ran out of butter and oil at home. Are they alternatives to cannabutter? In short, yes. Butter is chiefly the main ingredient in cannabutter due to its high-fat composition. After being heated, a high-fat material more easily <a href="https://weedmaps.com/learn/products-and-how-to-consume/make-edibles-home">extracts</a> cannabinoids from decarboxylated cannabis plants. Two popular at-home alternatives to cannabutter are kief and coconut oil. 
<h2>How to Dose Cannabis at Home</h2>
Suppose you <a href="https://weedmaps.com/learn/products-and-how-to-consume/make-edibles-home">start</a> with 10 grams of flower containing 20% THC. That would leave you with 2,000 milligrams of THC total. After decarbing the flower (2,000 x 0.9), you will have 1,800 mg of THC. Following the extraction in oil or butter (1,800 x 0.6), you will have 1,080 mg of THC in that oil, which is sufficient for 216 standard portions containing 5 mg each.
<h2>How Do They Work</h2>
When you ingest weed edibles, your body takes a bit of time to process them. Sometimes, it can take up to 2 hours for the full effects to kick in as the edibles first have to be broken down in your body and metabolized.
One of the most significant differences you'll notice between smoking cannabis and ingesting edibles is the intensity of the high. Generally, when you smoke marijuana, you can feel the initial effects nearly immediately. However, with edibles, the onset is much slower but longer-lasting. Sometimes the high from ingesting cannabis can last 4-6 hours, which is quite a bit more intense than the average smoking session.
The cause of this is because our livers metabolize THC, in turn converting the THC into a metabolite called 11-hydroxy-THC. This metabolite can cross the blood-brain barrier much more effectively and, in turn, causes a more intense cerebral and full-body effect.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6094" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/how_to_make_weed_edibles_2_pixabay.jpg" alt="how to make weed edibles" width="1920" height="1281" />
<h2>Things You Should Know</h2>
Now that we've given you the resources to make weed edibles, there is one thing to keep in mind; creating and consuming edibles is a science. There is a fine line between measuring the ideal dose and taking it a bit overboard and finding yourself in a panic.
A good rule to abide by is to start low and go slow. You can always eat more, but if you've overeaten, you may have to ride it out or seek medical help if it gets too bad. Once you have learned your base threshold, you can adjust easily from there to find your sweet spot.
Always make sure you give weed edibles a proper amount of time to work their way through your system before consuming more. If you are on an empty stomach and consume edibles, the effects may come on a bit faster than on a full stomach, and they will be a bit more intense. It's always good to give yourself a good 45 minutes up to 2 hours before making the call to consume more.

How To Make Weed Edibles And How They Work

Cannabis edibles are a delicious way to use therapeutically and consume cannabis recreationally. The most foundational ingredient of yummy cannabis edibles is cannabutter. Yet, finding a reliable, foolproof recipe for making cannabutter at home can be difficult. Well, not anymore! This article will show you how to make delicious cannabutter at home to start experimenting with cannabis in your kitchen.
<h2>What is Cannabutter?</h2>
One could guess that cannabutter is what its name implies: a combination of cannabis and butter. Cannabutter is an essential ingredient in many different cannabis products. However, it is most commonly used to make cannabis edibles - specifically baked goods. 
Making cannabutter, or cannabis-infused butter, is a fun activity to do with family and friends. So, let's get started!
<h3>The Science Behind Cannabis Butter</h3>
For your home-made edibles to produce psychoactive effects, you need to extract the THC from your cannabis using butter or oil first. There are several ways to do this, but infusing butter using the method below and then using that butter in your favorite recipes is arguably the simplest.
Two key factors influence how cannabis is infused into another product like butter or oil. The first is the base you choose to infuse. THC is a fat-soluble compound, meaning it tends to saturate best in high-fat products like butter, lard, oil, or ghee. THC isn't known to be water-soluble.
The second - and arguably more important - is the heat settings. Many cannabis users are surprised to find out that their weed doesn't naturally contain THC. Instead, live cannabis plants contain THCA, or 9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, an acidic and non-psychoactive form of THC.
To transform THCA into THC, harvested plants go through three distinct processes; drying, curing, and combustion.
<h2>How To Make Cannabutter At Home</h2>
Now since you understand the importance of cannabutter as the main ingredient in making edibles, let's go over a simple recipe you can use to make your very own. 
<h3>Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">1/2 ounce (or 14 grams) of weed</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">1 liter of water</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">4 sticks (or roughly 450 grams) of quality butter</li>
</ul>
<h3>Equipment</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Glass baking dish or sheet pan</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Oven</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Stove</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Glass baking dish or sheet pan</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Baking paper</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Grinder</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Saucepan</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cheesecloth (or other cotton fabric)</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Container for storage</li>
</ul>
<h3>Decarboxylating the Cannabis</h3>
It's essential to make sure your first step in the cannabutter making process is baking your cannabis. Yep, that's right. In its raw form, cannabis contains tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THCA), which does not produce high effects. However, heating the cannabis converts THCA into THC, activating the psychoactive molecule of the cannabis plant. 
There is more than one way to go about the cannabis decarboxylation process. While some cannabis experts recommend individuals to decarb the cannabis in hot butter, others think differently. The less time soaking the weed, the better the butter will taste. Accordingly, others prefer to decarb cannabis in the oven first.
<h3>Cannabutter Recipe Directions</h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">First, decarb the cannabis. The first <a href="https://www.medicalmarijuanainc.com/complete-guide-cannabutter-make/">step</a> is to decarb the cannabis. Set your oven to preheat at 230ºF. To prevent sticking, cover your oven-safe tray in parchment paper. After placing your cannabis buds on the sheet, go ahead and insert the tray, leaving it in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Low and slow is the best method when decarbing cannabis to preserve the cannabinoids. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Next, preheat. If you haven't already, preheat your oven to 230°F (110°C).</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Then, grind. Coarsely grind your decarboxylated weed with a hand grinder. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Melt the butter. Boil 1 liter of cold water in a saucepan. Then, add in one stick of butter. Simmer on low and let the butter melt. Adding water helps regulate the temperature and prevents the butter from burning.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Then, add the decarboxylated cannabis. Once the butter begins to melt, it's time to mix in your ground decarboxylated cannabis. Immediately bring the heat down to a minimum, so the mixture reaches a soft simmer.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">After that, simmer time. Let the mixture simmer on low heat - ideally above 160ºF but never exceeding 200ºF - for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. The mixture should never come to a full boil. You'll know when it's time to take it off the stove when the mixture has achieved a thick, glossy, and oily texture.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cool. Let the mixture cool for at least 30 minutes.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Strain. Once the butter has cooled, it's time to strain the cannabutter mixture through your cheesecloth - or other cotton material - and into a container. (Tip: Squeezing the cheesecloth may push more bad-tasting plant material through).</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Then, refrigerate. Cover your butter and let it set in the fridge for roughly 2 hours. The butter will settle above any remaining water, at which point you can easily remove and store it like you would regular butter.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Finally, dose carefully. Below you will find dosage information for cannabutter. Refer to the dosages before adding your butter to snacks, dishes, and desserts.</li>
</ol>
Note: Cannabutter will last several weeks in the fridge in an airtight container and up to 6 months in the freezer.
<h2>How to Use Cannabutter</h2>
You can use cannabutter like you would use regular butter or oil in both sweet and savory recipes like classic brownies and cannabis chocolate cookies. Here are some of our favorite recipes using cannabutter:
<ul>

<h2>Tips for Cannabutter Dosage</h2>
Various factors can affect the potency of your cannabutter, from how long it was cooked to the potency of your untouched cannabis bud. For example, things like the type of cannabis strain - indica and sativa - even influence the outcome of your cannabutter.
Cannabis professionals highly recommend <a href="https://www.leafly.com/news/lifestyle/recipe-how-to-make-basic-cannabutter">testing</a> the potency of your finished cannabutter product before mixing it with another recipe. First, try spreading ¼ or ½ teaspoon on a snack. Then, wait one hour and see how that dosing has affected you. From there, you can use the first dose as a baseline and continue upping it ever so slightly.
