By this point most people have a general understanding of the benefits of CBD but, with advancements in hemp and cannabis science more people are becoming aware of CBG and CBN and are increasingly curious as to their differences. More and more people are purchasing products containing CBG and CBN as they focus on more specific aliments and CBD has become less of the go to product for non-psychoactive compounds produced by the hemp plant. CBD still holds a very important role but is no longer the most sought-after non-psychoactive cannabinoid. We’re going to take a look at how we got here. So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some weed stuff!
Why We All Know CBD
The main reason we all know about CBD is because it is the most widely researched cannabinoid in the world. As research into the hemp plant continues, we continue to learn more about the 100+ other cannabinoids, how to isolate them for use, and exactly what they are good at doing. CBD is the second most purchased cannabinoid behind THC but at this point should it be? With the emergence of CBG and CBN, CBD is more of a facilitator making consumers more comfortable buying new products and it is doing exceedingly well as consumers focus on their specific needs.
Why CBG and CBN Are Better for Specific Needs
CBD, CBG, and CBN all have things they do well in common like help with sleep, general pain relief, and reduction in anxiety and stress but when it comes to specific issues in those areas CBG and CBN start to shine. CBD is primarily good for bone related pain, but the two most common uses of CBD, sleep and stress, are better suited to CBG and CBN. CBG works well with such as nerve and muscle pain while also helping with brain activity reducing anxiety and stress better than CBD alone. CBN, on the other hand, is exceptional as a sleep aid and works better than CBD for general pain relief. The downside to CBN is it will make you drowsy but if that is what you wanted it will exceed expectations!
Why Pairing with THC is so Beneficial
THC will always be top of the food chain for cannabinoids when it comes to help with sleep, pain, stress and anxiety. Combined cannabinoids in a product will lead to a more well-rounded experience and a greater likelihood of achieving desired results.If you arn’t worried about trying THC or have a job that prohibits it, there are THC options available. If you are using THC alone for non-recreational purposes, pairing it with CBG and CBN will show increased effectiveness.
Products You Should Try!
In store we have a host of THC free tinctures to try but online we have two new products to address the need for CBG and CBN options. For those looking to reduce stress/anxiety or with soft tissue concerns we have a hemp-derived 10mg Delta 9 THC 10mg CBG 10mg CBD gummy. The 1:1:1 ratio provides a balance of all desired effects. These strawberry gummies are meant for daytime use but can also be used at night to help with minor sleep issues. It is the daytime “my body hurts but I have work to do” gummy. We have the same 10mg 1:1:1 ratio but paired with CBN for those with more chronic pain issues and serious sleep issues. These grape gummies are meant for nighttime use but can be used in the daytime if you have time to nap or won’t need to do much physical activity. It’s the “my body hurts, and I just need sleep so I can do all again tomorrow” gummy. Both gummies come in a 30ct container for $40.

The evolution of THC consumption has rapidly increased by way of concentrates. These high-powered extracts have been the daring of long-time canna-consumers, and more newcomers are tying them as well! From carts to dabs, the new darlings have overshadowed the old standard of concentrates like Bubble Hash to the point where many have forgotten what it is and does.
Luckily, we are here to remind you of the uses and joys of our hemp-derived THCA Bubble Hash. So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some weed stuff.
History of Hash
The term hash is derived from the word “hashish”. The first mentions of hashish date back to the late 10th century. Hashish was first developed as way to easily transport the resins created by the plant. Early means of consumption were simply eating the straight THC resin, but as you can imagine, it isn’t the best taste in the world. Hash went through many incarnations and consumption methods before Bubble Hash became the belle of the ball.
Bubble Hash was introduced to the western world in a High Times ad, of all places, by David Paul Watson aka Skunkman Sam in 1987. Over the years, pioneers such as Mila Jansen, aka Hash Queen, and Marcus Gary Richardson, aka Bubbleman, helped refine the process of extraction to give us the versatile high-peered product we know & enjoy today.
Bubble Hash: What it Looks Like and How to Consume It!
Bubble Hash has a sandy-like consistency that is often pressed into all shapes and sizes. It is most commonly consumed via smoking or using it to make edibles. Smoking Bubble Hash on its own isn’t for the faint of heart. It can be consumed via dabbing, though it makes quite the mess.
Most who consume bubble hash on its own use a good old fashioned water bong, or gravity bong, for the truly insane. Bubble Hash most commonly ends up as bong or bowl topper to add to your flower or as blend-in for your joints. You can learn methods of adding it to your joints HERE.
The last option is to cook with it! It can blend with most butters and oils to cook, but remember, with Bubble Hash a little goes a long way. Your dosage can be based on how much hash you use regardless of medium. 1g is 1000mg. You will lose some of that in the cooking process, but it is always better to air on the side of caution and just count it as though none of it dissipated. As an example, if you are looking for 10mg pieces you’d need to have 100 servings.
RiverBluff Collective’s Bubble Hash
We try to have at least 1 strain of bubble hash on hand at all times. The strains can vary and are only available in-store. If you want to give it a whirl, it is best to call the store to see what strain we have in it just to make sure it suits your tastes. Remember, your budtender is your friend! If you are curious about a product, ask and they will tell you all they know on the topic to make sure you make an informed decision.

The air grows frigid as people start to spend more time inside. Winter is coming! The change in seasons can change the routine of a cannaconsumer and sometimes even the products they consume. People often want ways to consume more incognito when indoors, fast when outdoors, something in the spirit of winter, and something to gift to someone or themselves. Luckily, you can find all of that with our hemp-derived THC products at RiverBluff Collective! So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about our favorite wintertime products.
Chocolate Bars for Hot Chocolate
Our delicious chocolate bars melt smoothly in hot milk or water to make delectable variations of hot chocolate. Make a peppermint paddy with our mint bar, use the s’mores bar to make a Campfire hot chocolate, or pick up a classic milk chocolate bar to get the iconic taste you know & love. If you want something more experimental, try our French toast bar for a mix of fall and winter! For those looking for a nighttime snack, try our cookies and cream bars! You can get all of these bars in-store or online HERE.
Vape Pens
With the colder temps, people who like to smoke often look for alternative ways to consume so as not to face the weather (or at least limit the time they do so!) Vapes work extremely well for this purpose. Many people and places still allow vaping indoors while smoking is strictly prohibited in those same places. If you are a traditional herb smoker, a good vape can save you a lot of headaches. There is no need fight your lighter against the elements, many places can’t distinguish between an herb and nicotine vape allowing you to fly under the radar inside, and if you must go outside, it takes fewer pulls off a concentrate vape to get the desired effects, limiting your time shivering. Unfortunately, our vapes are only available in-store but you can check out the smokables page to get an idea of products and pricing. It is always a good idea to call ahead to check availability of certain strains as they rotate often!
Mini Pre-Roll Packs
Mini pre-roll packs, often referred to as “dog walkers”, are packs of joints ranging from .35g-.5g joints. Our .35g packs come with 8 in a pack for 2.8g total and our .5g packs come 6 per pack for an even 3g. These minis are perfect for limiting time outdoors and preventing illness as they are meant for a single person. The great thing is they come in packs so you can just give one to a friend for the holiday spirit and avoid exchanging the common cold & more. These products are also only available in-store but can also be found on our smokables page!
A Bud Vase
Bud Vases are esthetically pleasing and functional! When not in use, the vase looks like a wonderful piece of flower glass art but can be quickly adapted to make it a bong like you’ve never hit before. These beauties hide in plain sight and often go unnoticed. They make for a great gift for the cannaconsumer in your life or for a gift for yourself after completing all your holiday shopping. These are only available in store so stop in and say high to our budtenders are ask them to show you one.
RiverBluff DRINKS!
Maybe the best option on the list as it covers all the bases. No need to go out outside, no need to inhale anything, super incognito, and easy to share!. We have seltzers and soda pop in both low dose options and as well as shots in higher dose options both online and instore. These are great for get togethers where others may be drinking spirits, and you don’t, or for a gathering of canna-consumers that don’t want to smoke outside. If you’ve never tried a hemp-derived THC infused drink, there is no time like the present!

Most people have a dream smoke spot but one of the most elusive has to be The White House. It is possibly the most protected place on the planet, yet tales of toking on the property have come up multiple times. RiverBluff Collective rummaged through those stories to find the most legendary and noteworthy, the most obvious, and the most peculiar. No matter where your dream spot is to smoke, it is attainable because of these stories. No place is out of reach if you put your mind to it! Kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some legendary weed stuff.
Willie Nelson
The most known face in cannabis history hands down! Stories of his tour buses getting raided became comic fodder in the 1990s. Celebrities and politicians alike love him. Songs have been written about smoking with like I’ll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again! By Scott Emerick and the late Tobey Keith. Stories of Willie Nelson enjoying a good high are widely known but none more so than his trip to The White House roof. Willie told a story about how he and one of The White House staff went onto the roof and smoked a joint. It became the myth of legend but was recently confirmed by the most credible source possible, Jimmy Carter! In a documentary titled Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President “When Willie Nelson wrote his autobiography, he proclaimed that he smoked pot in the White House one night when he was spending the night with me, and he says that his companion that shared the pot with him was one of the servants in the White House. That is not exactly true — it actually was one of my sons, which he didn’t want to categorize as a pot-smoker like him.” In the late 1970s the stigma was still very real, and Willie didn’t want to have Chip Carter’s life held back if people knew so he lied.
Snoop Dogg
Possibly the second most recognized toker of all time, Snoop was bound to be on this list. The slick rap icon is well known for his advocacy for the plant. Heather B from SiriusXM interviewed Snoop in 2016 and asked, “Where is the ‘one place’ he’d always wanted to smoke but never thought he’d get the chance?” Snoop quickly replied, “The White House.” Snoop was then pressed for further details and was eager to tell the story stating, “So we at the White House, you understand me, for a celebration or what not, for Herbie Hancock. So, we had a little dinner and I’m like, ‘where the bathroom at?’ they like,‘It’s over there’. So, I’m like, ‘Alright cool’. Slide over to the bathroom. I look around, check the surroundings, make sure there ain’t no CIA around. Light up some tissue, just to see if anything gonna happen, tissue works. Boom. Next thing I do is pull that thing out of my sock.” He then went on to smoke until he heard someone coming his way. Stories like this make Snoop the legend he is!
JFK
This one may be obvious or completely blindsiding. John Fitzgerald Kennedy is revered by many and hated by others. He was a war hero but also a serial philanderer. His tragic assassination has left history one of the greatest what ifs in American history. During his extramarital affairs he entered a sexual relationship with American socialite Mary Meyer, the ex-wife of a top CIA agent and close friend to Jackie Kennedy. In the summer of 1962, JFK “joked” about wanting to smoke some pot. Meyer is believed to have obtained the pot from Washinton Post executive Jim Truitt. She brought 6 joints, and the president smoked three of them claiming he didn’t feel anything. He then closed his eyes, refused a fourth, and realized he was HAF, to use the parlance of our times. Now stoned, the president allegedly babbled in a concerned manner, “Imagine if the Russians tried something now.” He then supposedly stated to Mary, “This pot isn’t like cocaine. I’ll get you some cocaine.” For a guy who was a hero in the Navy, he missed the boat on that one.
