STORIES FROM THE OKLAHOMA CONNOISSEUR
'Hey, Harry'
By Harry "Pothead"
Connoisseur Contributor
August 2021 Issue
Hey, Harry,
I hope you can help me cause I know this probably won't be the last time I do something like this. After sampling some amazing herb Granddaddy Purple, I kinda fell asleep and forgot all about the GDP ... and, may, accidentally left it open in the container all weekend. Long story short, I was wondering is there any way to save the dried out herb or is it just trash? Thanks in advance.
~ Forgetful Abby ~
Hello, Forgetful Abby,
Yes, there is a way to revitalize that dried out herb. I suggest a humidity packet, one that allows two-way humidity control of 55% to 63% moisture content. Most dispensaries and even online stores sell them relatively cheap. Boveda is a good brand to use, just remember to get the correct packet size for the right volume of herb. For example, is it 7 grams or 14 grams that needs to be fixed? Then, select the correct sized humidity packet and place it with the herb in a sealed jar for a 24-hour period. This is an easy and effective way to correct some crunchy, dried out herb.
~ Sincerely, Harry ~
Hey, Harry,
My dad who's been a farmer for 30+ years wants to start using weed to help his arthritis and back pain but he doesn't want to smoke and doesn't want to be high. What are some other ways he can get quick pain relief?
~ Thanks, Billy Bob, Jr. ~
Hello, Billy Bob, Jr.,
Might try out the topicals like lotions, balms, salves or skin cream items. If he wants the pain relief to stay where he puts it, use a salve or balm - it's thicker and usually doesn't soak into the skin as fast as lotions and creams do. The most useful in pains and aches are topicals with higher CBD to THC ratio like a 2-1, although 1-1 ratios are good to use as well. Wishing your dad a pain free day!
~ Sincerely, Harry ~
Hey, Harry,
This is probably a silly question ... but, what can I do if I get too high and the room starts spinning?
~ Loopy Lucy ~
Hello, Loopy Lucy,
For some fast help try a high dose of CBD to counteract the intense high. Also, here are a few tips and tricks to help keep things calm and mellow in case it happens again: Stay hydrated, get a hug, take a nap, chew on a bit of black peppercorns, eat some ice cream, make a pillow fort, watch TV or try a distraction like coloring or painting. Hopefully your experience is more enjoyable the next time around.
~ Sincerely, Harry ~

Dab Daddy's Candy Yam Budder
The Oklahoma Connoisseur
December 2020 Issue
Dab Daddy's hit the mark this holiday season with their Candy Yam Budder. With just 62.57% THC, the potency comes in with the terpenes - just under 6%.
Although I anticipated a more sweet taste, it surprisingly had more of a dirty yam flavor. That might not sound too appealing, but the smooth dabs are followed by an amazing head rush and potent high. This is just the dab you're looking for during the holidays for an evening medical treat.
I picked mine up for a good price per gram at College St. Cannabis in Cordell. Many dispensaries in the area are running excellent specials throughout the holidays to help you shop local and shop smart.
Honoring The Legends
The Oklahoma Connoisseur
April 2021 Issue
In honor of the 420 stoner holiday we want to pay homage to some of the legends of the cannabis industry.
Josey Wales and Lone Watty were the creators of GG#4. Josey popped seven original seeds of his own cross of Sour Dubb x Chocolate Diesel x Chem's Sister. The fourth plant was so sticky when Josey was trimming it that when he picked up the phone his fingers stuck to it. "This shit's like Gorilla Glue." After Josey and Lone hired their partner, Cat 7, they were the first to trademark a strain with Gorilla Glue #4. The two best friends have both passed away, just a year apart. Cat 7 still heads their company, GG Strains LLC, based out of Las Vegas.
Nevil Schoenmakers of Australia was the first to begin selling cannabis seeds worldwide through his company The Seed Bank. After a DEA sting in the United States landed him charges, he fled to Holland where he kept going as The Seed Bank Holland. The strain Nevil's Haze is his - just one of many he created. All of Schoenmaker's genetics were eventually sold to form the company Sensi Seeds in Amsterdam. Schoenmakers passed away in 2019.
Jack Herer was an author, cannabis enthusiast and activist. His book titled "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" is a staple amongst marijuana-lovers, containing facts and statistics about cannabis and it's effects that Herer gathered over the years. A great read. Herer passed away in 2010.
Subcool aka "The Weed Nerd" founded Team Green Avengers seed company and after decades of struggles and obstacles, he formed the company Subcool's The Dank before his passing in February 2020.
