We understand the college student’s desire to smoke marijuana and the resulting struggles students face. The Observer has gone around to the local retail shops to find which shops to go to with that extra $20 burning a hole in your pocket.

Cannabis Central

With their easy to read menus, Cannabis Central is a great place to swing in with a couple bucks to spend and walk out with a product that will bring joy, especially their $5 half gram bowls-to-go.

“Blue Dream is the Star Wars of weed,” claims Darek Travis, CWU alumnus and budtender at Cannabis Central. “More like episode four. It’s amazing with everything. You’ll never go wrong with it.”

Receiving a 4.4 star rating on Leafly, the sativa-dominant hybrid is a highly recommended stain across the nation.

With a THC content of 12.6 percent, Blue Dream is a great strain for new smokers. With the low THC content, this strain is less likely to overwhelm someone and give them a bad experience.

Blue Dream is available at Cannabis Central, in the form of flower or pre-rolls from Gecko Growers out of Wenatchee, at a low price of $10 for two pre-rolled single gram joints.

While there are multiple pre-rolls for sale at Cannabis Central with a low THC content, there are a lot that are high in THC percentages.

“I would recommend the Blue Northern Light pre-roll for $5,” said Amanda Moore, Cannabis Central Budtender.

Produced by Oberfelder Holdings, this .6 gram joint is likely to get the job done with its high THC percentage at 21.46 percent.

The Tommy Gun Killer by Prohibition Brands is a highly recommended joint by Cannabis Central budtenders for a night of relaxation with a few friends.

“It’s just beautiful,” said Moore, in awe.

The Tommy Gun Killer is a .7 gram joint that is 49.56 percent THC and made with ground nugget flower, kief, moroccan style hash, more kief and honey oil. Sold at Cannabis Central for $25, this joint is well worth the price tag.

The Green Shelf

The Green Shelf has a large variety of great products from producers across the state and offer a 10 percent discount every Tuesday to all students with valid identification.

The store features a large specials board, which showcases products from producers who are new to the shop as well as recommendations from management.

They also have a variety of edibles produced by Magic Kitchen. Each edible contains 10mg of THC and are sold for $5 each.

In their daily specials section, The Green Shelf has a variety of single gram pre-rolls from Sour Face.

The store also has low prices on bags of shake produced by Sour Face. These bags are perfect for those who enjoy rolling joints themselves. Bags come in a variety of strains, and start at $25 for 7 grams or $40 for 14 grams.

As for oil and waxes, The Green Shelf tries to keep at least one product on sale for $30 a gram.
