Mountain High: King Size Cones
March 15th, 2007 by Alex
There are many devices being made that allow the smoking experience faster, easier and better. Some prefer the ‘by hand’ method of rolling, but not everyone. Today, I’m reviewing Mountain High: King Size Cones, the original pre-rolled smoking papers.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Category | Papers (Pre-rolled) |
| Company | Mountain High |
| Made In | N/A |
| Pros | Amazingly easy roll |
| Cons | A little pricey |
| Price | $1.25 |
| tFS Rating | 8.5/10 |
Moving into the cones, they are thin (semi-transparent) rice papers. They come in packs of 3 and each one has the ‘Cones’ logo embossed into the papers themselves. One thing that stands out is the extremely long filter. Luckily, due to the size of these cones and their expansion, you can still pack more than enough into these things.
The cones taste and smoke well, just like your regular unflavored king size. Worth noting is the build quality, with no creases or air leaks on the seam.
Overall, these cones provide an avenue for people low on time to roll up a high quality joint. They’re made for a purpose and perform it well.
The Stoner’s Cookbook
March 15th, 2007 by Tim
Not often do you find a community-driven cookbook containing an admirable variety of cannabis recipes, but how about one that looks good to boot? The Stoner’s Cookbook fits this bill.
Not only is it pretty, it displays the recipes in a logical, easy-to-read fashion with the ability to sort alphabetically, chronologically or by rating. This website provides a nice foundation for this segment of online cookbooks. There’s roughly 50 dishes in the database.
Since the website is community-driven and recipes are user-submitted, a bit of common sense is required to narrow down your selection. Some recipes are phony & unreliable and there seems to be a lack of moderation in that area, so chef beware.
Quoted from the website:
The Stoner’s Cookbook is a community website dedicated to those who appreciate the culinary arts while under the influence of our favourite herb… yes we mean the Munchies!
The aim - to gather munchie recipes from all round the world! If you have eaten, created, tasted or sampled something particularly delicious while high, submit it here for others to enjoy!
Next time you get the munchies, consult the Stoner’s Cookbook to make it a truly delectable experience. Happy munching!
Say you have some extra shake around and you’re feeling a little frisky, give one of these a shot. Who knows, you might stumble upon a real delight of a dish.
Phillies: Blunt
March 14th, 2007 by Alex
One of the most well-known methods to roll up some bud is with the classic Phillies Blunt.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Category | Blunts |
| Company | Phillies |
| Made In | Florida |
| Pros | Cheap, found everywhere |
| Cons | Requires patience |
| Price | $.70 to $1.00 |
| tFS Rating | 7.5/10 |
The taste isn’t anything spectacular, it’s actually what you’d expect. The smoke is light & pleasant, not heavy at all. Phillies burn at a faster pace but will be more than adequate for two (and up to four) people.
If you ever find yourself stuck in a situation where you need to roll but don’t have a nice wrap, just find a local mart and grab one of these guys. They’re found all over the place, making it the most commonly stocked blunt wrap around. It’ll do the job without busting your wallet and that’s always a plus.

Pot Odor Not Grounds for Search
March 11th, 2007 by Alex
The AP is reporting on a ruling in Utah that might have some lasting repercussions with police forces across America.
In the case of Bernadette Duran vs. the Carbon County Police, the Utah Supreme Court ruled 4 - 1 against the legality of seizure without a warrant, purely based upon the odor of marijuana emanating from the residence.
The general belief behind the ruling, is that if the Utah Supreme Court ruled that entry and seizure without a warrant (purely based on odor) was legal, police would feel “empowered” to check for other crimes on baseless assumptions. In other words, search an underage teenager for cigarettes if their clothes smelled like smoke or other liberty-eroding processes.
This ruling will be noted by police across the country, and make them think twice before attempting search & seizures on such subjective evidence.
Still, don’t go blazing in a parking lot and expect the police to just look the other way and leave you alone. There’s a difference…

Cocaine Cowboys
March 9th, 2007 by AlexDuring the 80s, Colombian drug lords invaded Miami determined to control the trade by whatever means necessary. It’s what put the city on the map. Cocaine Cowboys is based on a true story of how Miami became the drug, murder, and cash capital of the US, recounted by the folk who made it all happen.
It’s a full-length feature film, nearly two hours long. And boy if you love stereotypes, this movie’s got ‘em. So if this sounds like something that might interest you, watch it. If not, just put it on during a party… I’m sure it’ll capture somebody’s attention.
Medical Marijuana: Outdoor Trainwreck
March 9th, 2007 by Ryan
Most people I talk to always comment on trainwreck being one of their favorite strains. After trying this Outdoor Trainwreck, I can definitely agree with them! This strain really does make you feel like a train hit you.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Strain | Outdoor Trainwreck |
| Type | Sativa dominant |
| Pros | Powerful high |
| Cons | Mostly heady |
| Price | $25/g, $70/8th |
| tFS Rating | 8.0/10 |
The high hits quickly in the face & head area and stays there for about two hours. I would also recommend some eye drops for this high, might experience some dryness or itchiness. The effects are pretty straight forward - smacks you in the face and stays there. The body isn’t really affected except for sporadic spots on the feet.
It took me a while to become a fan of trainwreck, but this strain has changed my opinion entirely. This mid-range bud sure does the trick when in search of a well-rounded sativa, it has exceeded expectations.
