What's Cooking?

The bacon notes from Weed Bacon will pair nicely with dominant terpene, caryophyllene, from Afghan Cow. The caryophyllene terpenes will add complex herbal, woody notes, enriching the natural bacon flavors. Since Afghan Cow fits so well with working out due to its related effects, give our recipe for Weed Smoothie a try. Arnold would approve.
