Budtender Moment: Frankenshiz Strain Review

“Frankenshiz is proof that even the strangest parts of ourselves can come together and make something unforgettable.”

-This Puzzled Life

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Today’s Budtender Moment is all about Frankenshiz. A strain stitched together from wild genetics, loud terpenes, and the kind of personality that walks into the room before you do.

Frankenshiz is a balanced hybrid. But it leans into its indica funky side thanks to its ancestry. Growers often describe its lineage as Frankenstein × Shiznit. Frankenstein comes from OG Kush lineage. Shiznit is a cross between Blueberry × White Widow. This is one of those strains where the family tree looks like it was drawn by a mad scientist with a Sharpie and a dream.

Frankenshiz is a full sensory event consisting of funky berry sweetness, earthy kush undertones, and a little diesel on the exhale. And that unmistakable “Franken” funk that is herbal, spicy, and just a touch chaotic. It’s the strain equivalent of a thrift-store leather jacket that somehow smells like blueberries and rebellion.

This strain’s personality comes from the three dominant terpenes of Linalool, Beta-Caryophyllene, and Alpha-Pinene. Together, they create a vibe that’s both soothing and alert. Kind of like a spa day in the middle of a forest rave. Patients and recreational users often report relief with stress, anxiety, mild to moderate pain, muscle tension, mood imbalance, and creative block (Frankenshiz is a muse with a megaphone). The balanced hybrid nature makes it versatile for daytime creativity or nighttime decompression, depending on your dose and your intentions.

Please keep in mind that depending on differences in grows depends on what area of the country it is grown in. There will also be slight differences depending on when, where the plant was grown. Same strain, same genetics. But the environment shapes the plant like a Southern grandma shapes a child with strong opinions and noticeable results. Thanks for reading! And keep blazin.’ Have you tried this strain?

Affirmation: I honor every part of my story. The sweet, the funky, the wild, and the wise. And I grow stronger because of it.

Budtender Moment: Ghost Vapor OG Strain Review

“It’s hard to be mean when you’re stoned.”

-Bill Lee, Naked Lunch

 Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to share a strain that keeps with the image of Halloween. It’s a paranormal strain known as Ghost Vapor OG. This little beauty is one to help keep you beautifully high.

Ghost Vapor OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cross between Purple Punch x Ghost OG. And if we want to dive into the “grandparent” strains, Purple Punch is a cross of Grandaddy Purple x Larry OG. And Ghost OG is a cross of Afghani Indica x OG Kush. It’s said to be similar to the strain Brue Banner. Top terpenes are a-Bisabolol, B-Myrcene, and a-Pinene. There is supposed to be a heavy pine taste. However, I’m using a  concentrated vape cart. The taste has zero pine taste. It has a sweet taste instead. 

On a 5 scale this product is a solid 4. It’s one that needs to be used with caution with novice users. The medical effects include treating anxiety, stress and also helps with depression. I also used it for chronic pain. And it’s said to also be good for the pain of arthritis, headaches and back pain. And I totally agree. Thanks for reading! Keep smiling. And keep blazin’!

Affirmation: I am worthy of being hydrated, high, and happy.
