EPISODE 5
Velvet Breath is an Indica that’s as smooth as its name. The taste has a touch of sweetness that I really like in my flower with a little earthiness. This is a good chill out weed that won’t leave you in couch lock. Need to be somewhat productive but still want some relaxation then this is the strain for you.
Dense buds with purple and orange highlights and a dusting of sugar. I have also tried it in a vape version and it is just as good. Speaking of vapes, mine came in handy as I was traveling via Amtrak last week. A 22 hour trip to Indiana and a visit with family for two days. A 3 hour drive to Chicago to catch another train for a 7 hour trip to Cleveland. Three days in Cleveland and back to NYC in 12 hours riding in style in a sleeper car roomette. (click here for more trip details and video of the roomette)
So how did I maintain the proper THC levels in my bloodstream for me to function while riding the rails? First thing I did was check the marijuana laws in all the states I would be passing through. The only state with a problem was Indiana. There is no luggage check, no TSA so I could pack all my supplies into my back pack. That was a tin full of pre-rolls(for hanging out in Cleveland), a couple of disposable vape pens and two rechargeable pens with several cartridges. And two lighters of course.
I then looked at my train schedule to see when there would be long enough stops to hop on the platform for a few minutes. There were a few 10-15 minute breaks. You could then leave the train, hang out with the cigarette smokers and vape as much as possible. I found a good trick was to bring two vape pens with me to alternate as they get hot with constant use over a short period of time.
The train conductors will announce when you can get off the train, pay attention to what they say. You have to stay next to the train on the platform and get back on a few minutes before scheduled. They will leave you behind!
Here’s the thing that you are not supposed to do and maybe I did or did not do but just for educational purposes, you can sneak a vape hit in the bathroom even though this is against the rules and could get you tossed from the train so make it a small one!
Easier to do while in a private room, I brought some non-aerosol air freshener just cause it smells good and not for any other reason. If you vape in your room do it infrequently and exhale into your pillow. Repeating that it could get you tossed from the train, so just be smart!
The Altimeter Reading:
Riding the Rails
Riding the Rails is a calming but fun ride allowing for beautiful views and a nice nap. It may take a little longer to get to your destination, but the trip there is worth it!
Watch for Episode 6 this Saturday June 29 celebrating Pride!
I love how you roll! Ask a teenager about a 'boof' which is an empty toilet paper roll with fabric softener sheets rubber banded to the end. Exhale into that and you're golden.
Such journeys are another indication for the implementation of edibles. Those are very easy to disguise within a bag of mixed candies and may be taken almost anywhere. Then there's also the fact that an edible high tends to be more intense and of longer duration than that of the baseline blaze.
