New Jersey Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Introduce Distillate

by Elizabeth Kirwin

Kind Tree Distillates create a high quality brand of 70+8% thc in every container.  It is, without a doubt, the highest ranking percentage of thc product available in New Jersey at this time.

The distillate comes in a syringe, but it’s not got a needle on the end. Instead it’s just an open, hole at the end and a light squeeze for the almost liquified distillate to be put into a vaporizer.  I currently own a Mig Wasp that is great.  The Mig had a piece for distillate or wax that works great on one heat only. It’s a wand design so it fits in the purse easily. The great thing about the Mig Wasp is the user can also screw a regular vape onto it, making it a dual device.  Way to go Mig.

I was told at a Curaleaf dispensary in Bellmawr, NJ, when I first purchased Kind Tree distillate last month that Wedding Cake was pretty awesome. So I tried Wedding Cake and I can tell you just one or two puffs and the Mig Vaporizer had to be put down.

Is distillate different from vape carts? Yes – entirely.  First, it comes with a higher thc percentage.  Second, it takes an entirely different device than just a battery to smoke it.  A true vaporizer is needed. Finally, distillate can actually be used in measured doses in cooking, which is why it comes in a syringe.  For cannabis chefs, measurement is critical to outcome of a predictable edible.  For many of us who have dosed on unpredictable edibles in the forbidden past, we give a deep sigh of relief for those chefs who use measurement devices to make edibles.

On the subject of edibles, New Jersey has not yet increased the thc load from 10 mg per edible (which is ridiculous, especially for the medical patient).  By comparison, in one Colorado medical dispensary in Colorado Springs, I saw a cake pop with 150 mg of thc for sale for $15.  Getting a bag of 20, 10 mg edibles for $60 isn’t any kind of deal.  Maybe New Jersey will see the value of edibles for use by the middle aged and up crowd as a pain management tool.  Or not.  I don’t know what the legislature of this state fights about regarding thc.  It boggles my mind.

As a matter of course, I stick to the THC  10:1 tincture for body pain and sleep, instead of edibles.

Despite the backwards notions about edibles, the thc patient can make their own canna butter out of flower and make their edibles in their home kitchens.  As far as the distillate goes – I personally like to vape it because it is so high quality.  Great job on a winning product Kind Tree!
