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.

Strain Review:

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.

Strain Review: Gary Satan

by Sixty Six Sins – 3.5g Bag

With a name like Gary Satan, you already know this one isn’t pulling punches. Coming in from Sixty Six Sins, this 3.5g pack is loud in both name and presence. The branding is bold, the bud is darker and danker, and the experience? Let’s just say it lives up to its devilish title.

Bag Appeal & First Sniff

The moment you crack the seal, you’re hit with that unmistakable nose: gas, funk, and a bit of something earthy-sweet tucked underneath. The buds are dense, dark, and crystal-heavy, leaning into that purple-tinged, almost gothic look that connoisseurs chase. Toss in the included humidity pack and it’s clear this producer knows how to treat their flower right.

What’s on the Label

• THC: 27.2%

• CBD: <1%

• Total Terpenes: 3.58%

• Format: 3.5g Whole Flower

Solid numbers all around. THC lands high enough to satisfy experienced users, and the terpene load gives you that layered flavor and effect profile cannabis nerds appreciate.

How It Feels

This is an indica that doesn’t just sit you down—it holds you there. Expect a slow-building, heavy-handed high that starts in the head and slides all the way down to your limbs. It’s introspective, couch-friendly, and best enjoyed when you’ve got nowhere to be.

Whether you’re vibing with music, watching something weird, or just sinking into the void with snacks in reach, Gary Satan delivers the kind of ride that lets you zone out and stay there.

Final Word

Gary Satan isn’t for the faint of heart—or lightweights. This one’s got attitude, depth, and a solid hit of sedation. It’s a great choice for winding down the day or just zoning out hard with something immersive. Not your everyday puff… but absolutely worth a place in your stash when you’re chasing that rich, gas-forward nightcap.

Add-On:

I picked this up again. It was 1 giant bud. 3.56 g. 

Strain Review: El Jefe by LowKey (MTL Cannabis) – 7g Bag

El Jefe rolls up with some serious presence. Packaged in a bright orange pouch that practically yells open me, this indica from MTL Cannabis doesn’t just talk the talk—it delivers the kind of heavyweight effects that seasoned smokers look for.

First Impressions

Crack the seal and you’re hit with that classic funky mix of earth, pine, and a little sweet spice. The buds are chunky, sticky, and frosted over like they’ve been dipped in powdered sugar. This is the kind of flower that gets your fingers messy in the best way. Bonus points for the humidity pack inside—always nice to see a producer caring about freshness.

What’s Inside

• THC: 32.6%

• CBD: under 0.5%

• Terpenes: 3.86%

With numbers like that, El Jefe isn’t playing around. It lands firmly in the high-potency zone, so beginners might want to ease in gently. For experienced smokers, this is a top-shelf knockout.

How It Hits

El Jefe leans hard into its indica roots. Expect a strong body buzz that creeps in fast and doesn’t let go. It’s the kind of strain that makes the couch feel like quicksand in the best possible way. The head high kicks off with a nice floaty calm before the full-body melt takes over.

Perfect for unwinding after a long day, killing stress, or zoning out with a movie. It’s not going to boost your productivity, but it will help you forget about your to-do list.

Final Thoughts

El Jefe is a heavy-hitter with solid flavor, loud aroma, and effects that stick. It’s priced well in the 7g format, especially if you’re someone who likes to re-up a little less often. Between the strong terp profile and that face-melting THC level, this one’s got serious staying power. Definitely worth keeping in the rotation.
