5 Best Summer East Dubuque Illinois Activities to Pair with a Pre-roll 

5 Best Summer East Dubuque Illinois Activities to Pair with a Pre-roll 

Summertime has kicked into full gear, and RiverBluff Collective wants to help you make the most of your time in the warm weather while it lasts. What better way to smoke on the move than the good old fashioned joint or cannabis pre-roll, as they are now called? Pre-rolls are concealable, easily portable, single use and more eco-friendly than anything battery operated.  The classics become classics for a reason! When you’re on the move and looking for a goodtime, RiverBluff Collective has all your cannabis needs (and even some stellar tips on where to enjoy them!) So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some fun things to do while high on weed. 

Hiking 

This one may be cliche but remember what was said about classics! The weather is nice outside so enjoy it while you can. You could take a walk around the block a few times and get roughly the same amount of exercise, but where is the adventurous spirit in that? A hike in the wild is good for reflection and a peaceful place to toke. 
 
Separating from the urban and suburban settings many live in can help people disconnect, even if for just a few hours, and reminds us how many of our problems aren’t as big as we think. Feeling even some of your worries melt away is priceless! The Mines of Spain are beautiful this time of year and filled with enough trails to burn through more than one day. If you are looking for more of a quick hike, a march out to either of the points at Chestnut Mountain Resort provides some of the most breathtaking views of the Mississippi River you can find. RiverBluff suggests an Apple Tart pre-roll for your journey. 

Camping 

Camping is just extreme hiking! Disconnecting for a little bit can melt worries away but being disconnected for a long duration can do wonders for your confidence. Leaving the house knowing you will have to find a place to sleep & make food without modern luxuries, all while carrying everything you will need on your back, is a humbling experience. No better time to uplift the situation than by lighting up!  Whether choosing a traditional campsite or just hiking and suddenly deciding you’ve found a good place to set up camp for the night, nothing beats looking up at the stars before falling asleep and wondering what else is out there. That’s right! You transition right from hiking into camping into thinking about aliens. A joint will be necessary. Most of the cool campgrounds are on the banks of the Mississippi so they can only be used when the water level is down. That puts them out of commission a lot, but if you get a weekend, they are open! Check out Miller Riverview Park & Campground, Frentress Marina and Resort, or choose one you like from this list. Luckily, most of us know someone with a yard and every yard can be a campground when motivated! It is extended hiking so bring multiple Apple Tart pre-rolls! 

Float On a River or Lake 

Hiking and camping both involve a lot of walking in extreme heat. Not everyone is down for that, so why not do the complete opposite? Outside to beat the heat on or in the water is the best place to be. Floating on water, stoned, relaxing in the sun, is a very freeing experience as the water pulls you along. This is the cheapest, lowest effort option available on RiverBluff’s list. Get an innertube, floaties, or any other inflatable object and find water. You’ll be floating and relaxing with a cannabis pre-roll in your mouth in no time at all. Remember, wear a lifejacket people! There are rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams everywhere including one of the largest rivers in the world right outside East Dubuque. If you don’t pack a Cereal Milk preroll, you might just be fruit loops. 

Find A Weird Spot to Chill 

Ditch your comfort zone and go people watching someplace weird! One of the best parts about this planet is no matter where you are there is someplace weird nearby. Most people go to the normal sites, so you see the same type of people you always see, and they are always crowded with normies. You’ll meet interesting people in weird places almost without fail. If you want to venture slightly out of state, The House on the Rock is absolutely amazing! A cavalcade of oddities and mysterious items, it served as one of the settings for Neil Gaiman’s bestselling novel, American Gods. If that doesn’t trip your fancy, just google strange places and take your pick. The Mathias Ham House isn’t as weird but it is creepy which is just as good. Not many places stranger than Hollywood, so you had best pack an LA Kush Cake pre-roll for your adventure. 

Get Lost in a Museum 

As the temperatures rise you may be in search of air conditioning! You know who has this? Museums! Do you want to take a good hike in a nice temperature-controlled room? The places are huge. Want to see the stars? A lot of them have a room for that specific purpose. You don’t need to get wet to stay cool when air conditioning exists! You want to see weird and strange things? That is exclusively what museums show off. Get lit and get lost in a museum. Burn some calories, stay cool without getting wet, and learn about something you wouldn’t have before. No better place in the area than National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium! If you’re spending the day inside to chill out, start it off with a Sundae Driver pre-roll.

RiverBluff and 7 Hills Present Their New THC Infused Seltzers 

RiverBluff Collective and 7 Hills Brewing have been in the lab formulating their next exciting joint endeavor, and it is here! They started with soda pop and now they bring you the best THC-infused seltzers you’ll ever taste.  

These bursting bubbly coolers come in three flavors, provide a low carb option and are legal in Iowa as well as most other states!

Lemon 

Does anything cry summer more than lemons? Many are raised on lemonade during the summer and grow into seltzer consumers as adults. This match was meant to be. It is crisp and delightful like lemonade mixed with fizzy lifting drink just waiting to take you higher! This is a lemon seltzer everyone can get behind and relive a little nostalgia, with an extra lift. 

Strawberry Acai 

Do you need a little something that is sweeter than lemon? Well, strawberry acai is definitely the play! Strawberry acai goes down smoothly, and the sweetness lingers in your mouth after each drink. This flavor combination has been paired in so many products for a reason. People love it and you’re going to love this seltzer too. 

Pineapple 

Pineapple gives you a bit of both worlds. A little bit sweet, a little bit tropical, but all summer! It is already one of the most popular seltzer flavors on the market, so it made sense to make one infused with hemp-derived THC. This one is for the longtime seltzer drinkers. Even if you’re not a seltzer drinker, this may be a good starting point as the flavor is absolutely delicious.

Top 4 Ways to Enjoy a Pre-roll Without Having to Roll in 2024 

Top 4 Ways to Enjoy a Pre-roll Without Having to Roll in 2024 

Some people shy away from smoking flower simply because they don’t know how to roll a joint or blunt and can’t store utensils in their house. RiverBluff Collective is here to tell you there is no need to be shy. Rolling a joint or blunt may be an art form but it is a dying one like cursive writing. Saying you can’t smoke a joint because you can’t roll one is like saying you can’t type a letter because you don’t know how to put paper in a typewriter. We have computers now! Civilization has advanced beyond that stage. New methods exist to make your life easier. Unless you are an artisan smoker, there is no need to know how to roll anymore. So, kick back in the cut, fire on up, and let’s learn about getting some pre-rolled weed stuff. 

Buy One 

This one seems like cheating. RiverBluff Collective knows they aren’t teaching you anything new here. This is just a reminder. You don’t need to know how to roll if you just buy a pre-roll. You can try flower with little to no time or effort exerted. Just pop into your local dispensary, pick out a joint, and you’re on your way. 

Pre-rolled Cones 

This is the main reason you don’t need to know how to roll anymore. The joint comes pre-rolled with a filter. All that is required is it to be filled. Each cone comes with a ramrod to help make sure a tightly packed joint. Once you have it packet like a musket in the 1700’s, you only need to twist the top closed and spark it up! You can find cones by many great companies like Raw, Element, Zig Zag, and Blazy Susan

Hollow Blunts 

More of a blunt smoker than a joint smoker? Well, it wasn’t long after the introduction of the pre-rolled cone that the hollow blunt made its way onto shelves. These work the same way as a pre-rolled cone except they are a straight cylinder and generally larger. You won’t be packing a musket this time but more of a blunderbuss. No need to twist the top with these ones just fill it and rip. Many companies make hollow blunts but a RiverBluff Collective favorite has always been King Palm! 

Rolling Machines 

This is the least convenient way to get a pre-roll but it is an option. Most of the companies mentioned thus far make rollers that range in sizes. Pick your machine, pick your wraps, pick your strain, read the instructions, and off you go. You’ll be smoking in no time and will have rolled a joint without having to know how to. 

Burn One Down 

As you can see, there is no need to know how to roll in this day and age. Companies have invested a lot of time into making sure you can enjoy a pre-roll with little to no experience. Don’t be shy about trying flower just because you can’t roll, we are beyond that now! The cannabis revolution is here and there shall be pre-rolls for all of those of legal consumption age.

How Ever-Changing Legalities Caused RiverBluff Brownies to Go Extinct! 

How Ever-Changing Legalities Caused RiverBluff Brownies to Go Extinct! 

For years, when people thought of edibles they thought of pot brownies. It was a difficult task, but RiverBluff Collective saw an industry need and filled it exceptionally while they could. Yet, all things come to an end and due to state-by-state legal changes the RiverBluff Brownie went extinct. Our longtime customers still recall them fondly, with hush tones as though saying it three times will make them reappear. With Iowa now joining the war on hemp-derived THC, RiverBluff must again reassess its footing to bring you the best possible products. But first, the tale of the RiverBluff brownies’ untimely extinction must be told. Kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about the legalities that apply to weed stuff. 

The Era of the RiverBluff Brownie 

RiverBluff wanted to embrace the nostalgia of cannabis brownies with its hemp-derived THC brownies and people unanimously rejoiced! High dosed mini brownie bites offered in both Delta 9 and Delta 8 THC; the classic confectionary delight became so popular that they were hard to keep in stock. Times were good and the brownies were glorious. Then one day, the government realized they had accidentally made weed legal nationwide, and some states started to restrict what products defined as hemp-derived could be offered in their states. Many of the states doing so bordered adult use recreational cannabis states and they would be the first to impact the hemp-derived THC market. 

A Series of Extinction Events 

The main action many of these states took was to reduce the mg dosage per piece and/or package. Brownies were already difficult as they carry a short shelf-life and RiverBluff’s brownie bites were high octane. Without the ability to sell and ship them to other states, the batch sizes that needed to be made weren’t selling fast enough instore. The beautiful chocolatey goodness began to go dry on shelves. Even though customers raved about them, RiverBluff had no choice but to cease their production and add in no products to fill the void. 

RiverBluff Will Continue to Thrive 

Iowa wasn’t the first state to throw down the gauntlet and they won’t be last. RiverBluff Collective has never shied away from a challenge, and they are not going to start now! RiverBluff is dedicated to bringing you the best hemp-derived THC products on the market and will adapt accordingly as the market changes. The brownies may have been the first but sadly they more than likely won’t be the last. If your favorite product vanishes from the shelves, there is something you can do! Vote! Election season is right around the corner! Seek out cannabis and hemp friendly candidates and help put them in office to prevent further government intervention.

5 Historical Cannabis Smokers You’d Never Guess! 

5 Historical Cannabis Smokers You’d Never Guess! 

RiverBluff Collective hates to see people stuck casting cannaconsumers in the same old stereotypes. Those who consume cannabis aren’t by default dumb, lazy, unmotivated, or unfit. Some of the most successful people ever have smoked weed, eaten THC-infused edibles, or enjoyed other THC products, and they managed to overcome those stereotypes to leave a lasting mark on history. This list could be filled will artists and musicians but those would have been easily guessed and that’s not the name of the article. So kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about people you’d never guess were into weed stuff! 

Barack Obama 

Okay, so you may have guessed this one, but it is still fascinating. The most recent entry on the list, Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States of America, became the first presidential candidate to openly admit to having smoked cannabis. He didn’t dodge the question like Bill Clinton did. Clinton claimed he never inhaled; Obama said “Yes I inhaled that was kind of the point.”  

Though Barack may have put his smoking days behind him, in 2011 the Obamas became the first president and first lady to grow medicinal marijuana in the presidential garden. Strangely enough the gardener charged with the care of these plants was named Tommy Chong. Not the Tommy Chong, but very serendipitous to say the least. Who knew they were growing weed at the White House? So, cool! Obama would be looking for a Sundae Driver preroll no doubt! 

Steve Jobs 

Steve Jobs may be the most driven person to ever live. The former head of Apple took the personal computer out of the office and placed them in people’s homes. Without him, there is a decent chance smart phones wouldn’t be as advanced as they are now. Jobs wasn’t just a fan of cannabis – he also enjoyed LSD. Though he claimed to leave his cannabis consumption in the 70s, he left the world with unbelievable stories. Like the time he and Wozniak tried to get the Pope on the phone just for fun. If Steve were still around, he’d probably pop by the shop for a Apple Tart preroll. 

Carl Sagan 

Carl Sagan is on the short list of the smartest people to have ever lived. Sagan, a decorated astronomer, brought science into the mainstream during the 1970s with the TV show Cosmos, which he wrote and presented. When the government had questions about space, they called Carl Sagan. Sagan never shied away from his vocal love of cannabis and the need for cannabis law reform. Carl was always prepared to discuss the benefits of cannabis as he did in this article about why he liked smoking marijuana. If Carl were still around, he’d probably be trying blast off with RiverBluff’s Starman gummies. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger 

You’ve read about a charismatic pothead, a driven pothead, and a genius pothead but what about the physically fit pothead? How about one of the most physically fit people of all time? Arnold Schwarzenegger! That’s right. The man who was once a muscle mountain loved to hit the ganja after lifting. Several shots of him hitting the green can be seen in the documentary Pumping Iron. Arnold would go from bodybuilding, to acting to politics. Not too shabby for a stoner speaking their second language. Arnold would probably be into something strong like him such as RiverBluff’s Bluff Pops. 

William Shakespeare 

This one may be a bit farfetched. It is not like there are pictures, interviews, or references to Shakespeare smoking cannabis. However, that doesn’t mean there is no evidence that big Bill liked to toke a bit. Though experts refuse to agree, the clay pipes with drug residue found by archeologists at Shakespeare’s home cannot be denied. This one may have the least evidence to prove it but may be the most fascinating. The writer by which all writers are judged may have been just as high as the rest of us while he wrote! That’s pretty cool! RiverBluff thinks Billy would be show his affections with more than just word but with RiverBluff’s chocolate.
