What's New!?
"Sana Packaging, a startup that designs and develops differentiated, sustainable, and compliant packaging solutions for the cannabis industry, launched a new line of 100 percent reclaimed ocean plastic cannabis packaging in partnership with Oceanworks. Sana Packaging recently shipped their first orders of 100 percent reclaimed ocean plastic packaging to customers across North America.
Oceanworks partners with collection and processing agents around the world to bring trusted sources of ocean plastic materials to consumers eager to use their purchasing power to make a difference.
“We’re really excited about our new product line,” said Ron Basak-Smith, co-founder and CEO of Sana Packaging. “With the help of our customers, our first run of reclaimed ocean plastic cannabis packaging removed four tons (8,000 pounds) of plastic waste from our oceans. We’re excited to see how much plastic waste we can continue to remove from our oceans moving forward. And of course, none of this would be possible without the folks over at Oceanworks.”
Sana Packaging’s flagship product line is made from 100 percent plant-based and chemical-free hemp plastic. Now, Sana Packaging is proud to partner with Oceanworks to provide the cannabis industry with packaging made from 100 percent reclaimed ocean plastic. Cannabis packaging waste is already making headlines and six of the 10 states with recreational cannabis are coastal states – seven counting Michigan, which borders four of the Great Lakes."
As one of Sana's first customers to support their sustainability efforts through hemp packaging, Smokey's is proud to announce that we recently received our first order of reclaimed ocean plastic packaging.

Living Soil: What It Is and Why It Matters to You
Organic products are a popular choice for health-conscious consumers and those interested in protecting the environment. The living soil movement is dedicated to providing a truly organic experience for those who use marijuana as medicine or for recreational purposes. By considering the benefits of living soil when choosing recreational marijuana services in Garden City, Colorado, you can ensure the best experience every time you light up in our area.
What Is Living Soil?
Organic farming typically focuses most on what needs to be left out of the process, including chemical/ synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. By contrast, the living soil movement considers the soil in a more holistic way. By making sure that soil contains the living creatures needed to break down organic matter into the necessary nutrients, living soil advocates can produce healthier and more robust crops without the use of chemicals or other hazardous materials. This can make a significant difference in the quality of product you receive from companies offering recreational marijuana dispensary services in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the surrounding areas.
The Cannabis Effect: There's More to it Than THC
The cannabis industry is evolving steadily after a rapid growth spurt of legalization. Gone are the days of purchasing whatever strain a supplier has on hand. Instead, consumers today have countless strains, concentrates, and edibles to choose from, allowing them to be incredibly selective and specific about what kind of high they experience.
Anyone who enjoys the legal cannabis industry is probably used to noting two main things when making a purchase at their local dispensary: the THC content and the sativa/indica ratio of the product.
Casual cannabis users typically believe that the higher the THC content is, the stronger and more intense the high will be. Likewise, they also figure that sativas will all perk them up while all indicas will mellow them out.
While these beliefs are incredibly common, the truth is that they oversimplify how and why a specific weed strain produces a unique feeling.
You’ve most likely smoked a strain of sativa that left you a tad anxious, while other sativas leave you happy, energized, and ready to tackle the day. The same goes for indica. Some strains are great for relaxing and watching a flick, while others will put you right to bed. Similarly, you’ve probably heard a friend rave about a strain that just didn’t do much for you.
In order to understand these varied experiences, it’s important to remember that cannabis is a wonderfully complex plant.

It’s Not Just About THC
Budtenders at Smokey’s 420 are continuously trained with the most recent information available based on real studies and science regarding product’s THC content. It’s how many cannabis consumers decide which product to buy. Why wouldn’t you choose the strain with the highest amount of THC? Isn’t that more bang for your buck?
If this is the logic you’ve been using, keep in mind that THC content is only one indicator of how a strain or product will make you feel. Choosing your weed based solely on this factor is often compared to going to a liquor store with the mission of selecting the booze with the highest alcohol content.
There’s a reason no one does this; there’s far more to enjoy a good drink than how much alcohol it contains. Just as a sommelier will pick their wine based on a myriad of factors, true cannabis connoisseurs will pay attention to the entire makeup of the product, not just a single element.
A major influence on how strong and how unique a high will feel is based on the presence and concentration of certain terpenes.
