Matt Frost, the founder and CEO of the company anna, told The Denver Post the machine is designed for “experienced cannabis customers who don’t necessarily need that one-on-one interaction with a budtender.”
Website Express Digest says there are plans to install one of the vending machines at the Starbuds dispensary in Aurora.

ClusterBomb by Osage Creek Cultivations is a must for Seasoned Smokers
Cluster Bomb has an interesting flavor. My taste buds tingle when medicating with the strain. Cluster Bomb’s prominant scents are sour and cheese with fertilizer undertones. *Since I had covid in May my sense of smell and taste isn’t quite right. I reached out to individuals for feedback on the strains smell. While some described it as “ripe garbage” other said it had an “organic fertilizer smell combined with body odor”.
While Cluster Bomb is not the harshest strain I have ever smoked it is in the top three. Flavor is not the issue with Cluster Bomb but the smoke is dense and made my lungs feel heavier than other strains. Then I realized my limbs felt heavier. I found myself laughing till I was in tears as the days of stress an anxiety faded away.
Cluster Bomb’s physical and mental properties live up to it’s name, the strain’s effects start slow then suddenly all take effect* at once. It is also in this time, generally 15-20 minutes from medicating, you may experience dry eyes, salvation, body sensations.
Cluster Bomb THC-A 26.7% and .0577% CBDA . Cluster Bomb is best for treating Depression, anxiety, physical pain, an insomnia.

Killer Grape is a good daytime and midday strain. Killer Grapebest treats nausea, headaches, brain fog, lack of focus, anxiety, depression, joint pain, low energy, an inflammation. While Cherry Garcia is the general go-to for inflammation and muscle pain, Killer Grape is a fantastic replacement.
Killer Grape takes effect immediately! Most strains promise immediate activation but Killer Grape delivers. I found my anxiety induced nausea, inflammation, and pains slip away with in 5 minutes of medicating. By placing Killer Grape in my morning medicating routine I found myself more productive and focused. While dry mouth is present it is not a continuous issue. Munchy’s are not an issue with Killer Grape.
Killer Grape has a sweet pine smell with hints of sour; translate to a smooth sour fruit taste when smoked. This strain is not only pleasant for pain but also user’s pallets.
Killer Grape may increase ones heart rate. I have bradycardia, so my heart generally stays between 38-49 bpm. I found my heart jumped then hovered between 70-100 after smoking Killer Grape. It took about 5 hours for my heart rate to decline. I used a Samsung Active 2 to monitor my heart rate. If you suffer from tacichardia or high blood pressure proceed with caution when medicating with Killer Grape.
King Crasher is an Indica strain from Delta cultivators in West Memphis Arkansas.
King Crasher is the first strain I have tried from Delta’s cultivation. It is one of the newest grow operations running in the state of Arkansas. Bringing the total to 4 producing medical marijuana grow operations for the entire state.
King Crasher is an indica strain that best at treating anxiety, muscle pain, nausea, insomnia and an aphrodisiac. King Crasher lineage comes from 4 Kings and Wedding Crasher, I had to ask the bud-tender at Delta for the lineage. When looking online, I found
King Crasher is one of the prettiest flowers I have seen available in Arkansas. King Crasher does not disappoint with pine and citrus scents. This strain is flavorful, an almost lemon dessert in the woods, after taste.
I found myself relaxed with this strain but it did not help with sleep or intense physical pain. King Crasher was great to handle simple pains like a headache or muscle aches but full on pain, King Crasher took the edge off but did not alleviate deep pains for myself.
. As of this writing, I could only find King Crasher in bud form. However, I am hoping since Delta is growing and selling this strain we will see a more diverse line of products entering the Arkansas market.
This time on travel Arkansas we are going to look at West Memphis. West Memphis , most commonly brings to mind the West Memphis 3 murders. But there is more to experience on your journey than meets the eye. This journey, will start in Memphis and end in Arkansas.
Keep in mind, marijuana products purchased in Arkansas have to remain in Arkansas. It is illegal to cross state lines with medical marijuana products.
Before crossing the bridge into Arkansas exit onto Front Street and find Gus’ World Famous Fried Chicken. Gus’ is a corner stone in true southern cooking. For one day, do not count carbs, call in a to-go order, and grab some of the best fried chicken you will ever eat before heading into Arkansas.
Once you get into West Memphis, Delta and Bam dispensaries are easy to access from the interstate. Delta, located directly on the highway an is easy to access from the exit ramp.
Delta, which has recently started cultivating their own lines of medical marijuana products as well as serving as a dispensary, has a Bass Pro of Marijuana atmosphere. So if camoe and cargo pants are your thing, Delta dispensary will have you feeling right at home. The interior has polished cement floors with display tanks that double as as waiting areas. The tanks have a terrarium design but are generally filled with books, marijuana medicating accessories, and shirts but due to their design I always expect a lizard to walk thru. The large televisions mounted on the wall an earth tones gives the dispensary a sport and hunting vibe.
Delta has an ATM on site in case you forget to get cash.
Once you leave Delta head to BAM dispensary. BAM dispensary is a chain, you can read about BAM’s other stores here.
Bam is easy to over look being located so close to Delta but with less visibility. What makes BAM great is the knowledge and ethics of their bud-tenders an original store gifts. The first time I went to BAM, I received a new patient gift, every-time I go to BAM I blow money on their store gifts and tees. The gift bag, changes, but when I visited included a BAM branded ashtray, lanyard, wax mat, and mini wax container. If it is your first time visiting let the staff know. There is no telling what surprises or specials they have
While BAM currently sells prepacked medical marijuana the workers are more than happy to show you the contents prior to purchasing by flipping the jar so patients may see the contents. Their bud-tenders are also not hesitant to advise if a strain is subpar compared to previous harvest.
BAM also has a patient loyalty program. This program texts patients about new products, availability, and sales!!!
When you leave BAM swing by Krystals in West-Memphis. You will be grateful once you medicate!
If you are looking for a relaxing way to treat insomnia and night time pains, but also an aphrodisiac, then this strain is for you.
Qookies from Osage Creek
Qookies is an Indica dominant hybrid containing 16.5% THC-A and .07 CBD it is also, what some would call a designer strain of cannabis. According to CannaSOS, Qookies is a blend created by Norstar Genetics/ TGA Genetics with the parentage of GSC FORUM and Querkle . TGA Genetics is a leader in cannabis cultivation, you can read more about the company in this High Times Article. The Rebirth Of Subcool: The Inside Story Of A Legendary Bud Breeder | High Times
While the THC percentage appears low, do not let that number fool you; Qookies is potent for patients who require daily medical marijuana medicating.
(As of this writing, I have been unable to find out if the seeds used in Arkansas are from TGA or if this strain is a “copy” of TGA’s strain . )
This batch was purchased from NEA Fullspectrum in Jonesboro Arkansas and cultivated by Osage Creek Cultivations.
Qookies best treats insomnia, nausea, wasting syndrome, muscle spasms, aphrodisiac and depression. Qookies relaxing and highly sedative effects will hit hard for experienced patients, so keep this in mind when planning your medicating routine.
Qookies has pine and sour scent that is pleasant but underwhelming. Yet, Qookies makes up for lack of scent once the fire is put to your buds. The smoke is thick, I tried it in a pipe and my dry herb pen, both means of smoking produced a heavy cloud and hard coughs. The scent coated my office and I felt bad for doubting the buds smell pre-medicating.
Qookies have large buds yet broken down quantity is mediocre compared to other strains. The texture is workable if you roll your own marijuana cigarettes, a smoking device, or for the infusion of edibles.
The actual flavor of Qookies reminds me of an everything pizza from 1997 Pizza Hut. Qookies tastes are complex for such a simple, scent. At first toke, Qookies taste of seasoned burnt cheese, but as the smoke coats your mouth and the sour scents take over. This strain proves to be a delight for one’s taste buds, as well as, a quick working medication.
When it comes to side-effects of Qookies, cottonmouth was an almost immediate side effect. Yet, Qookies did not give me cotton crotch; actually, this strain can have an arousing effect, however, due to its sedative properties your window of opportunity can be limited. Within a few hits, I found myself in the mood and relaxed. In an almost cruel twist of fate, arousal seems to arrive an hour before signs of sedation were overpowering, plan accordingly ladies.
Qookies makes you hungry, if you are trying to avoid eating past seven I would smoke an hour prior to your dinner. I found myself snacking until the moment I succumbed to sleep. I woke up to my Frenchie trying to sneak a gluten-free trail mix and an explanation of why I keep finding snacks in my bed. The properties of this strain make it best for night usage because productivity becomes limited almost immediately., AKA COUCH LOCK.

Build up after 2 grams of Double Stuffed Sorbet was ground up using a Razor Wire grinder.

Looking for a strain to retire from a long day; have you tried Ayahuasca Purple to treat physical and mental stresses?
Ayahuasca Purple is an Indica strain from Osage Creek Cultivation in Arkansas. This strain is available on most Arkansas Dispensary “gram” menus as of July.
Ayahuasca Purple buds in front of containers from BAM Dispensary.
Ayahuasca Purple best treats nausea, pain, anxiety, and depression. Ayahuasca Purple is highly effective in treating nausea and inducing hunger.
19.8% THCA , .033% CBD , .48% THC is the breakdown of THC in this bud. According to CannaConnetion, Ayahuasca Purple comes from Master Kush and Red River Delta lines.
Osage Creek’s batch of Ayahuasca Purple’s appearance is not as attractive as other photos you may find of this bud. The smell of Ayahuasca Purple is sweet with nut and pine undertones. The scent reminds me of a combination of the Hawaiian and Pine scent Tree Air Fresheners you’d find at a gas station.
Since I picked this gram at Body and Mind Dispensary, in West Memphis, I feel like, for the cost, Ayahuasca Purple may be overlooked by patients for the fear price is a reflection of quality. Ayahuasca Purple relieved my pain, and while a side-effect of “couch lock” is listed on CannaConnection, I did not feel the stereotypical couch lock. I felt mentally and physically relaxed, yet functional, and once I was ready to go to sleep, I had no issues. The effects from Ayahuasca Purple are long-lasting and make a great strain to end your day.
1 gram of Ayahuasca Purple from Osage Creek.

Purple Kush is an indica dominate hybrid that is best for treating pain, depression, anxiety, and is an aphrodisiac.
I decided to take a day trip to Comprehensive Care Group in West Memphis and Purple Kush is one of the medications I left with. Purple Kush is an indica strain from Osage Creek Cultivation. However, the name may sound familiar, according to Leafly, Purple Kush originates from Oakland, California thru the cross breeding of Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani.
Look at the crystals on this bud of Purple Kush from Osage Creek!
Purple Kush has .5%THC, 25.6% THC-A , .0828% CBD , and .0488% CBDA. Osage’s version of Purple Kush coloring is not as vibrant as one may find other cultivators version across the country. However do not let the coloring scare you off! If you are looking to relieve depression, anxiety, and physical pain Purple Kush is worth a try.
Purple Kush has dark coffee with lemon and sweet as undertones. The dynamic and relaxing combination of scents in Purple Kush compliment the effects of the strain perfectly. Pain relief is the most notable side effect I noticed from this strain. I did not have to use much to feel the tension in my back and ankle loosening. My left ankle still swells, some days to the point bending the ankle is not an option. While I did not measure the physical difference with medicating, I did notice I gained enough mobility in the ankle that walking thru my home without aid was possible despite the swelling.
While this strain is not energizing I did feel creative and able to over come a few mental road blocks when it came to working. I also felt my anxieties fall into a manageable level. I was semi productive after a bowl an a half of Purple Kush. Cotton crotch nor cotton mouth were issues with this strain. However, if you are looking for an aphrodisiac, I would highly suggest Purple Kush, it truly puts the Kush, in more Kushin for the Pushin.
Skywalker Kush from Osage Creek is best for treating depression, PTSD, anxiety, and wasting syndrome.
Skywalker Kush is an Indica dominate hybrid from Osage Creek Cultivation in Arkansas. Skywalker Kush is a cross of Skywalker and OG Kush strains.
Skywalker Kush is best for treating pain, nausea, and muscle spasms.
.172% THC , .030 % CBD , 19.6% THC-A make up Skywalker Kush. This line is low in CBD, while it works for pain relief you may find yourself sleeping as a result.
Skywalker Kush has dense buds that break down into a fine workable herb. I would suggest Skywalker Kush if you like to roll your own blunts and marijuana cigarettes.
Skywalker Kush smells of sweet and sour combined with earthy scents. Smelling the buds reminded me of sweet tarts dropped in the dirt on a summer day. The scent is nice but not extremely potent in bud form.
1 bud of Skywalker Kush.
Skywalker Kush predominantly made me tired. I was relaxed, nausea, migraine, and pain were in check enough to fall asleep. Yet, I do not feel this strain would work for my daytime routine. When I tried using it for pain during the day, I found myself relying heavily on caffeine but still in a fog of sleepy.
Black Cherry OG is an Indica Dominate Strain and best treats insomnia, pain, nausea, and depression. Black Cherry Og is featured on NEA Fullspectrum’s economy tier this week regularly. Black Cherry OG has 18.5 % THC , CBD .093%. This is a solid mid-tier flower hybrid.
The buds smell is a combination of diesel, sours, and a small pine scent. It is strong, Black Cherry OG has a stronger scent than Member Berry and Sugar Black Rose.
Black Cherry OG is sticky to the touch but broke down without leaving build-up in my grinder. I was prepared for a rabid burning, similar to Sweet Black Angel, yet Black Cherry OG surprised me and burned smoothly in my pipe.
I felt sleepy by the second bowl but not so much caffeine did not work to keep me awake. I felt the pain in my leg, back, and head subsides to the point I could focus on other tasks. Once the tiredness passed, about 45 minutes after smoking, I found myself pain-free and focused but not too motivated.
I do not suggest a large bowl of Black Cherry OG if your goal is to accomplish more than a few emails and a film marathon. While my thoughts were clear… I wasn’t productive work-wise.
Yet, if a night in bed with a significant other or even your favorite toy is the goal, Black Cherry OG is your strain. Cotton crotch was not an issue with this strain. The CBD level gives Black Cherry OG a nice combination of physical and mental effects. So if you are looking for a warm-up before your Netflix and Chill session, ladies this flower is worth your time.
If you are using this strain to assist with anxiety or pain prior to sexual intercourse I’d suggest a 20 to 30-minute window for full activation. While the label does state 3 minutes to activation, for me this applied more to the mental effects, the physical ones took about 20 minutes to really be noticeable.
