All the news we didn't pack into a bowl and smoke

NEW HIGH-CBD STRAIN
The Ultimate Functional Medical Bud         
Lucy in the garden with crystals
 

Lucy is a high-CBD Colorado marijuana strain from Reserva Privada and she's recently been busting out of our garden, leaving a path of delighted growers and staff in her wake. 

 

Lucy is a cross of Luca Brasi x LA Confidential and Reserva has found a way to create a high-CBD strain with elevated THC levels, meaning you're getting outstaning benefits from across the cannabinoid spectrum. She regularly tests at 15-18% THC and 8-12% CBD (that's about a 3:2ish THC:CBD ratio), and has beautiful trichome covered buds.  

 

The smoke is sweet and earthy and has very strong anti-inflammatory effect. It's a true medicinal strain, especially as you hear more and more resarch confirming the CBDs benefits for those with MS, epilepsy and cancer.  

 

And how does it smoke? From one of our budtenders: "I was just a little bit head high, but mostly a super big relaxation effect and tingly body high. Great for sleep and pain management with little cerebral activity. Definitely didn't want to do anything either. . . good for night time and couch lock. Perfect for healing downtime."

 

Now available at Helping Hands Medical - but keep an eye out for her at our other stores soon!

NEW SEED STRAIN
Dr. Bubbles Gupta Hybrid Coming Soon 
 
Dr. Bubbles is an outstanding Y2K Bubblegum x Gupta Kush cross. It's the old school
classic Bubblegum from Serious Seeds crossed with the master guru Sri Babi Gupta Kush! 

Normally, the Bubblegum presents herself as a crystally beauty beast with amply trichomes and the unmistakable smell of Hubba Bubba. Unfortunately, she's not much of a yielder and her stems are a bit weak considering her bud weight. This is where the ibl kush line comes to the rescue!

Gupta adds substantial stem strength and growth speed while keeping the wonderful aroma and uplifting buzz of the maternal line. A bit more approachable in smoke strength that some of the other gupta crosses.  8-9 weeks
. Coming soon to our seed shelf!

And remember, seed shoppers - all Rec seed sales now take place at our Bud Depot store  in Lyons. Helping Hands no longer sells Rec seeds - Medical only. Questions? Call The Depot at (303) 823-6422.

STONER MOVE OF THE WEEK
Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things (while high)

Done something funny or extra goofy while high and need to confess? Email us and tell the story. We'll add it here and you'll get a 10 cent joint for your confession! This tale of woe was submitted by SC from Athens GA. The poor thing!

Hi. I have a stoner move for you that is hopefully the dumbest thing I'll ever do in my life.

Some people I knew where about to drive from Atlanta to Colorado for skiing and at the last minute I hopped in the car with them because I had a few weeks free and wanted to come smoke lots of bud.

I planned to go from dispensary to dispensary and basically live the dream for a week but when I got dropped off at hotel in Denver it was my worst nightmare because I realized I forgot my driver's license in Georgia! I couldn't shop for bud or even beer. I traveled 1,258 miles one way to hang out on the 16th Street Mall with a lot of really sketchy people.

PUT A BIRD ON EWW
Crispy Octopus Crackers Cross the Line  


Trying local foods is an integral part of traveling and when you see a long line of people
I'm not so sure about the octopus thing but that bird is looking pretty tasty
waiting to order something you assume it must be good. That is, until you discover that the thing you just purchased was. . .  a fresh-off-the-griddle Japanese crispy octopus cracker.

Crispy? Good. Cracker? Great! Octopus? Wellllll. Try as I may, your newsletterist is not Andrew Zimmern and my exotic food tolerance is low - but at least I was able to quickly give it away to some Japanese friends who ate it like stoners hitting a bag of Oreos. 

If you'd like to take one of our stickers someplace cool or random and take a photo and send it in, you'll get a 10-cent joint with your next purchase. We've moved away from using the bird as our logo but it still likes to spread its wings.
