Westword Launching Limited Infused Joints With Meraki, Mighty Melts

As Denver's longest-running independent media outlet, Westword has always done its best work on paper. Now we're doubling down.

Anyone who's picked up a Westword over the last fifteen years has seen our strong connection with cannabis, from pages of dispensary ads to local industry and political coverage and our long-running Ask a Stoner column. The next step? A trio of tasty, terpy, solventless joints with Meraki and Mighty Melts, and a kickoff party this August at Tetra Lounge.

Yup. We've partnered with one of Denver's best cultivations and hash operations to create a package of infused joints filled with Meraki flower and Mighty Melts bubble hash.

Each strain of flower and concentrate was picked with purpose: Golden Goat, a timeless hybrid of Hawaiian, Romulan and Island Sweet Skunk, will be mixed with bubble hash from the Fizz, a hybrid of Sherb Cake and Strawberry Guava. Expect an energetic high with this one. Golden Goat's tropical, zesty flavor plays well in the sandbox with the Fizz's fruity, sherbet characteristics.
Grease Bucket, a sticky, powerful hybrid, will be infused with bubble hash from Black Maple, a popular strain among extractors and dabbers. Mighty Metls has a rare phenotype of Black Maple, the #11 cut, while most hash operations are working with Black Maple #22. All of that gas, cream and funk make for a true palate-cleanser, and the high brings moldable effects any time of day, as long as you're ready for a unique punch that leaves you in the stratosphere.

For a final round intended for a relaxing puff, Meraki and Mighty Melts have paired Grape Mountain bubble hash and flower. Heavy on the grape Kool-Aid flavor with an aroma reminiscent of Big League Chew, Grape Mountain is one of the hottest strains in Meraki's and Mighty Melts' rotations. You won't hike a Fourteener after summiting it, but you'll probably sleep as if you did.

Combining classic and modern cannabis qualities, Westword joint packs will be sold in select dispensaries later this summer, but Westword members can roast some of our bones on Thursday, August 7, at RiNo cannabis venue Tetra Lounge, at 3039 Walnut Street, where we'll be hosting a party with food trucks, a DJ, games and a joint-rolling contest.

The event kicks off at 7 p.m. Westword members (21+) can get into Tetra for free, with general admission tickets sold at a later date. To become a Westword member and be eligible for those event passes, sign up for just $7 a month.

See you at the roller derby.
