Cannabis Review: 67 Sins Artisan Reserve (Hot Dante)

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Strain Info:

Hot Dante by Sixty Seven Sins is part of their Artisan Reserve lineup, a premium craft flower offering grown with small-batch attention. This particular batch clocks in at an impressive 29.86% THC, with 2.83% total terpenes, suggesting a potent and flavorful experience.

Appearance:

The buds are caked in trichomes, with a-frosted look that immediately stands out. You’ll see dense nugs with rich green and purple tones, exactly what you’d hope for from a premium drop. The resin content is extremely high, making the bud sticky to the touch and visually striking. The trichromes were everywhere and you can see some on my scale. My 3.5g weighed in at 3.73g

However, one drawback: a couple semi-developed seeds were found in the flower. This could be a sign of light stress or potential hermaphroditism, which while not ruining the batch, is a notable quality issue at this price point.

Aroma & Taste:

From the first whiff to the final exhale, Hot Dante brings a rich, creamy profile — think dessert-like smoothness with some mild vanilla and earthy base notes. Upon smoking, the flavor follows through with that creamy, slightly doughy sweetness, and the terpene profile feels well-preserved, likely containing Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool or Myrcene for that balance of sweet and soothing.

Effects & Experience:

This strain delivers powerful but clean effects. Expect an immediate sense of mental elevation, followed by a balanced body buzz that doesn’t couch-lock unless you overdo it. It’s great for:

• Evening relaxation

• Mood elevation

• Creative flow or a chill movie night

Despite its high THC, it smokes smoothly and doesn’t overwhelm, a good example of how terpene synergy can tame potency.

Pros:

• Excellent trichome coverage and visual appeal

• Creamy, flavorful smoke with consistent terpene expression

• Strong but manageable high suitable for experienced users

• Overweight: Pack weighed in at 3.73g instead of 3.5g

Cons:

• Presence of semi-developed seeds is disappointing in an “artisan” tier product

• May be too potent for novice users

Final Verdict:

Hot Dante lives up to the hype in many ways; beautiful buds, creamy flavor, heavy frost, and great effects. The only thing holding this back from a perfect score is the seed issue, which affects perception of quality for experienced buyers. Still, at 4.5 out of 5, it’s one of the more impressive craft offerings on the market.

Cannabis Review: Ripe Flower – Red Bulls

Overall Rating: 3/5

Strain Info:

Red Bulls isn’t a widely documented strain, so it’s likely a house blend or proprietary cross by Ripe Flower. Given the name and the energizing scent, this could be a sativa-leaning hybrid, possibly aiming to emulate an “uplifting” or “boosted” experience, much like its namesake energy drink. 26.4% THC 

Appearance:

The buds in this batch were moderate in size and a bit on the airy/fluffy side, lacking the dense structure you’d expect from high-end craft flower. Trichome coverage was present but not overly sticky or shiny, and the color palette was mostly standard greens with some orange hairs. No purples or vivid hues to catch the eye.

Aroma:

The most distinctive trait is the bright, zesty scent, best described as a mix of ginger, lemon-lime soda, and a faint herbal undertone. It’s refreshing and different, with potential terpene influences from:

• Limonene (citrus, mood-lifting)

• Caryophyllene (spice/ginger, anti-inflammatory)

• Possibly a touch of Pinene or Terpinolene (adds freshness and energy)

The scent isn’t overpowering but noticeably unique, setting it apart from the standard fruit/gas/diesel crowd.

Smoke & Effects:

The dryness, surprising given the presence of a Boveda/Boost pack, led to a slightly harsher smoke, though not enough to be unpleasant. Once lit, it maintained that mild citrus-herbal profile but didn’t translate much flavor-wise.

The high is middle-of-the-road: it comes on quick with a slight head buzz and a touch of body relaxation, likely good for:

• Mild stress relief

• Socializing or light tasks

• Afternoon use without burnout

That said, it’s not particularly strong or long-lasting. Think of it as a functional, everyday high, not something to knock you out or inspire deep thought.

Cons:

• Buds are drier than expected, which affects flavor and smoothness

• Visual appeal is lacking and doesn’t stand out on the shelf

• The effects, while pleasant, are forgettable for experienced users

Pros:

• Unique aroma profile makes it fun to try

• Mellow, balanced high that won’t interfere with your day

• Good option for light or casual users

Final Verdict:

Red Bulls delivers a novel scent and functional high but falls short in freshness and visual wow-factor. It feels like a strain with potential that didn’t fully land in this batch. If fresher and more dialed-in, it might climb to a 4.

Try if: You’re into citrusy/floral strains and want something mild and different

Skip if: You’re chasing potency, bag appeal, or flavor-forward buds

Strain Review: Frost’d Flakes by LowKey MTL

(aka The Kief Collector’s Dream)

I’ve picked up Frost’d Flakes more times than I can count, especially in the 7g format — and for good reason. It’s one of those strains that rarely misses: absolutely frosted, super potent, and always delivering a satisfying, balanced high. But let’s talk about this batch.

Visually, it still brings the heat. These nugs are caked in trichomes, like someone rolled them in sugar. Break them open and the resin practically sticks to your fingertips. Toss it in the grinder and — no surprise — kief city. This one seriously overdelivers on that front. It’s like getting a second stash on the side.

Now, the nose on this particular batch is a little more muted than usual. With 1.96% terps, it’s slightly lower than what I’ve come to expect from LowKey’s Frost’d Flakes, and you can smell the difference — not quite as loud out of the bag. Hopefully just a one-off, because this strain usually hits harder on aroma. That said, the effects still came through clutch.

The THC clocks in at a beastly 31.4%, so the potency is very much still there. The high hits fast but stays smooth — euphoric, mentally uplifting, and physically relaxing without dragging you down. That 0.07% CBD helps round things out ever so slightly, but make no mistake — this is strong stuff.

Why it’s still a favorite:

• Ridiculous trichome coverage

• Grinder-friendly with a mountain of bonus kief

• Strong, clean high that’s perfect for relaxing, gaming, or zoning into music

• Great value in the 7g format — especially for regulars

Quick Stats:

• THC: 31.4%

• CBD: 0.07%

• Terpenes: 1.96%

• Grown by: MTL Cannabis

• Brand: LowKey MTL

• Packaged with a Boost humidity pack (yes, they care)

Final Verdict:

Even with a slightly quieter nose this round, Frost’d Flakes remains a top-shelf go-to. The high is potent and clean, the buds are gorgeous, and the grinder kief bonus makes it feel like you’re getting extra value every time. One of my all-time favorite 7g picks — fingers crossed the next batch is back to full terp power.

Liquid Imagination

by Back Forty – 28g Ounce Bag

Back Forty comes in swinging with Liquid Imagination, a hybrid that leans into the creative side of cannabis with a name that feels just as dreamy as the high. With genetics from Blue Zkittlz x Jet Fuel Gelato, this one is bred for flavor, punch, and a bit of floaty brain-fog magic.

Bag Appeal & Aroma

This full ounce comes in a resealable bag that holds a serious stash of tight, light green buds. The nose especially once busted up is gassy and sweet right away, backed by some herbaceous notes that give it that classic gelato-style balance. The humidity pack inside does a great job of keeping the cure on point, especially for a big-format buy.

Label Breakdown

• THC: 30.1%

• CBD: < 0.06%

• Lineage: Blue Zkittlz x Jet Fuel Gelato

• Aroma: Sour, gassy, herbaceous

• Format: 28g whole flower

With over 30% THC and a terp-rich profile, this one’s clearly not built for beginners. It’s got that heady hybrid buzz that starts off energetic and can easily tip into couch-lock if you overdo it.

The High

Expect a quick hit behind the eyes followed by an uplifted, euphoric cruise. It’s a creative, hazy kind of high—ideal for music, art, gaming, or just mentally wandering. The body stays loose while your brain rides a little rollercoaster through daydream land.

Great for afternoons or early evenings when you want something strong but not totally immobilizing.

Final Take

Liquid Imagination is a standout pick if you want a hybrid that checks every box: potency, flavor, bag appeal, and value. The 28g bag makes it a solid pick for frequent users or those stocking up, and the terp combo gives it both taste and complexity.
