Grower/Producer: AVCS

EFFECTS: heady, stupefying, induces positive attitude, calming
SMELL/TASTE: pine, leather, sour

Producer’s Statement: Crushed ice, ice water, and bubble bags. Slow hand agitation. 73 Micron bag collection.

A deeply matured version of Elephant’s aroma is heavy on this immaculate bubble hash. The candied smell of the bud has grown more dynamic, now a sour musk of itself. The leather now with pungent pine and pine sap notes that dominate the spicy bouquet.

With a little adjustment to the temperature, vaporizing this bubble hash can be effective. If using a nail or skillet system of combustion, users will be pleased by the highly productive smoke, full doses can be had with one or two dabs.

Ingesting this bubble hash combines and amplifies all characteristics of the bud, adding a roller coaster onset that builds for a few moments, and then takes off . The Sativa energy exerts itself with stupefying authority immediately, and with great sustain. The calm and serenity is still present here, adding a dreamy edge that can still hold focus. If dosed correctly, the uplifting onset, and eventual drop-off may be a suitable nighttime regiment for patients suffering from insomnia.

With this Elephant concentrate, powerful effects can be achieved with little chance of overwhelming moderate users, although all should be cautious when first trying. A clean and powerful concentrate, this bubble hash speaks to its producer’s commitment to quality.

Elephant Amber Oil

Grower/Producer: AVCS

EFFECTS: heady, focused, euphoric, couch-lock, visually distorting
SMELL/TASTE: Pine sap, spice, crushed pepper, chrysanthemum

Producer’s Statement: Quick wash in 99% isopropyl alcohol. Filtered and evaporated once, purged almost completely then re-washed in 99% isopropyl. Double filtered and evaporated once, purged almost completely then re-washed in 99% isopropyl. Double filtered and purged over 225 F heat before vacuum filtering a final three times.

In this Elephant derived amber oil the smell is a powerful and clean combination of  pepper and pine sap, all joining in a nose tingling and powerfully distilled aroma. When manipulating the oil it also moves and performs like sap, making large dabs easy to whip up.

The taste translation on Elephant is impressive, accompanied with a full-bodied smoke that feels smooth, but pushes hard against the lungs. Initial effects wind up throughout the body, and users may experience a subtle sensation of taking off. For newer to moderate users this onset can range from exhilarating to jarring if not dosed cautiously. Although the initial pay load of cannibinoids can be shocking, effects come to full fruition over a long peak with incredible sustain. For patients in need of large doses with fast-acting effects, this clean extract delivers.

In higher doses this oil can induce feelings of euphoria and sense of dreaming. Body sensations become powerfully dynamic and soaring, and Elephant’s ability to amplify these sensations within a very high ceiling is ever-present here.  Users should be cautious at this dose, and possibly prepared for lay down. This is a clean and dynamic concentrate, magnifying the traits of its origin, and surprising with new benefits and effects with each re-dose.

Many thanks to AVCS, truly the most fun I’ve had doing a write-up in a long time.
