OG Kush and I go way back. It was among the first strains I’ve had the pleasure of smoking and it has long been a staple in my go-to cannabis lineup. When I saw it’s glitzy younger brother — Platinum OG Kush — in stock at Skymint, I had to give it a shot. And I almost forgot that I did.
Warning: Crunch Berries seems to be a creeper. Despite clocking in at among the higher THC percentages available on the local market last week, this strain didn’t hit me very quickly. Rather, it seemed to work more in the background — increasing in potency about an hour after I smoked it.
Bazonzoes opened its doors for both medical and recreational sales earlier this month and is conveniently located across the street from Deluca’s Restaurant — making it perhaps the most convenient one-stop-shop in Lansing for high quality cannabis and even higher quality pizza.

There have been plenty of potent pot products featured in this review in recent months. This week, we turn to the opposite end of the spectrum: The lowest-dose edibles available on Lansing’s recreational market.
