RiverBluff’s Bluff Pops got their moment to shine when the 50mg hemp-derived THC Punch Pop was matched against 2 25mg recreational dispensary drinks from CQ in a head-to-head comparison on the YouTube channel Cannabis Critique. Cannabis Critique is an experienced cannaconsumer and decided to see how comparable the two products were. RiverBluff looked forward to this challenge and accepted it post haste to find out what an independent source would say about how their drinks stacked up against traditional dispensary drinks. Though he enjoyed the high of both drinks, he made key points about how RiverBluff may be the better option. To see exactly what was said, you’ll have to watch the full video here.
RiverBluff is extremely proud of its Bluff Pops. Cannabis Critique tried a pretty hefty 50mg Punch Pop which may not be for everyone. No worries though! It is also available it 10mg! Not only that but all our flavors come in both 50mg and 10mg and soon to be 4mg options. That’s right RiverBluff brings more than one flavor to the table! Besides our Punch Pop, there is also a RiverBluff Grape Pop and a Coconut Lime Pop. The Grape Pop is suited for a lazy nostalgic day and our Coconut Lime Pop is perfect for a beach day with friends.

At RiverBluff Collective, we’ve seen strains come and go, but some stand out from the rest. Sundae Driver, often misnamed Sunday Driver, lives up to its name in both cases. It is relaxing like a lazy Sunday afternoon and a sweet blissful treat after an outstanding meal like a Sundae. This strain was developed by the crazy crew of cats over at Cannarado Genitics in Colorado but has made its way throughout the country, finding itself in many dispensaries and cannabis breeding and grow rooms. Sundae Driver only traces its roots back to the 2010s but has already produced amazing offspring of its own like Driving Miss Daisy. Sundae Driver always stands out in the crowd. Its bag appeal is amazing, its smell and taste are otherworldly, and effects are on point for every variety of consumer. So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some weed stuff!
The Basics
Sundae Driver is generally a balanced hybrid, but the plant can find itself leaning indica or sativa on occasion. Even when leaning slightly one way or the other, it doesn’t affect the overall enjoyment of the strain. Connarado Genetics developed the strain by crossing two sweet, considered dessert, strains in Fruity Pebbles OG and Grape Pie. The result was a sweet strain that wasn’t overpowering and suited for all. It doesn’t come with the highest THC count in the world, but it does come with all the flavor! Its unique flavor profile has been what made it a mainstay on shelves and how it made its name in breeding programs. There is no denying Sundae Driver is here to stay.
Bag Appeal
The dominant terpenes in Sundae Driver are Limonene, Caryophyllene and Humulene. This terpene profile gives Sundae Driver an aroma of fruity ice cream and slight earthy hints of dark chocolate. When smoked you can taste floral notes, mixed berry, and a touch of diesel. It grows in many variations, so buds can range in color from light green to darker purples. The look, smell, and taste of this strain give Sundae Driver a tremendous bag appeal that cannot be ignored. Check out RiverBluff Collective’s terpenes blog for a more detailed overview of all the terpenes.
Effects
Smoking Sundae Driver gives you the best of both worlds, indica and sativa, and blends them together to make a strain few can complain about. It comes with a heavy body high and a general relaxation of the mind like an indica. It is also known to enhance creativity and provide you with a euphoric feeling of happiness. This is definitely a strain for any time-of-day. It rarely disappoints!
Should You Try It?
Sundae Driver is new royalty among dessert strains and that has made it very popular for consumers, retailers, and growers alike. For those who love dessert strains, Sundae driver may be the cream of the crop. For those who don’t, let Sundae Driver try to change your mind. No matter what side of the dessert fence you are on, this strain is a can’t miss. Much like its ice cream name’s sake, even when it is bad it is still pretty good!

Eagle 102.3 released a blog on their website covering the strategic partnership between 7hills Brewing and RiverBluff Collective to produce THC-infused drinks such as Pops and Seltzers. This partnership came together as 7Hills looked to transition from bottling to canning and RiverBluff looked for a partner to bring its drinks to life. The stars aligning was nothing short of serendipitous. Together we look forward to distributing these drinks statewide in Iowa.
From Eagle 102.3
“Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 7 Hills was making strides in the Iowa market with its bottled beers. However, the pandemic necessitated a pause, leading the company to withdraw bottled products and focus on refining its processes. With the recent assistance from Riverbluff Dispensary, which moved its headquarters to the Millwork District, 7 Hills has now accelerated its plans to introduce a canning line, initially slated for 2025. Riverbluff’s collaboration played a crucial role by enabling 7 Hills to expedite the transition and meet the growing demand for THC-infused beverages. The beer market is undergoing significant changes, with a nationwide decrease in beer production and a surge in non-alcoholic and THC-infused beverages. Partnering with Riverbluff Dispensary places 7 Hills at the forefront of these trends, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and growth.”
As summer approaches and the 4th of July grows near, the use of firecrackers and fireworks increases dramatically. We are out later at night and live to light up the dark skies! We barbecue and have family gatherings to celebrate our families and country, but our pets don’t know what we are celebrating, and the loud noises can cause panic attacks in some pets. When preparing to celebrate this summer, remember to think of your four-legged fury companion! There are many ways CBD can help your dog this 4th of July season. So, let’s kick back in the cut, fire one up, and learn about some pet stuff.
There are two main factors that contribute to pet anxiety during the summer:
The explosions on the 4th
The separation anxiety caused by us spending more time outside without them
These problems are unavoidable. Even if you don’t light off fireworks, someone else certainly will. With nice weather, social calendars can fill up quickly and have your pet feeling ignored. Loud noises while you’re not home can cause even further anxiety. Luckily, there are ways to combat that anxiety with hemp-derived products for pets.
There has been anecdotal evidence that CBD can help your pet. We say anecdotal because few studies on CBD’s effects on pets exist and sadly, it is not much better with humans. The first and most prominent study on the effects of CBD on pets was performed in a 2017 Cornell University study and showed the benefits that CBD had on treating arthritis in dogs. Using that study, some veterinarians have used it to correlate it treat other issues found in both pets and humans. Our customers have been extremely positive about their experiences treating their pets with CBD. The average dosage for pets is debated but most say it is roughly 0.40mg per pound but you can always use a conversion calculator.
If you’ve been considering CBD for your pet, there is no better time to try it than the 4th of July season. RiverBluff carries CBD for pets and tinctures for humans can also be dosed down for pets. Unfortunately, these products aren’t available in our online store, but you can stop into our East Dubuque IL location and talk to one of our wonderful budtenders to see if CBD might be right for your pet.

Dispensaries are flooded during your typical holiday weekend. Afterall, cannaconsumers love to celebrate! Those who love cannabis have even founded their own holidays. Almost everyone knows that 4/20 is the unofficial national weed day, but do you know about 7/10 the unofficial National Dab Day? 7/10 hasn’t been celebrated as long as 4/20 but it grows in popularity year after year. We’re going to take a deeper look into 7/10 and its humble rise from street slang into the average cannaconsumer vocabulary. So, let’s kick back in the cut, fire one up and learn about some holiday weed stuff.
Where Did It Come From?
Did you know, 710 spun 180 degrees spells OIL?! Oil has been associated with cannabis concentrates longer than any other slang term as hash oil is one of the first known uses of cannabis concentrates. 710 would then become a slang term for dabs by street dealers and enter the Urban Dictionary in 2010. In 2011, Rap star TaskRok of Highly Educated began to use the term in interviews and in conversation with other artists. That same year he released an album under the group Task & Linus titled The Movement full of cannabis references, including the song 7:10. He was very vocal about the benefits of dabbing while downplaying the benefits of traditional smoking. Without a doubt, dabbing exploded in popularity between 2010 and 2013.
Why Did It Become Celebrated?
As all things cannabis became more accepted and grew in popularity, those who are active in cannabis culture naturally sought out more days to celebrate our culture. 7/10 didn’t really become celebrated until 2013 when LA Weekly dropped an article titled 7/10 Is the New 4/20. The term 710 was spreading with its newfound notoriety, even 420 glass cleaner released a new formula for oil rigs called 710. Now, 710 was visible in most smoke shops and people began to ask questions and wanted to become educated on its history. The more dabbing grew in popularity, the quicker cannaconsumers took to own 7/10 as another one of our cherished holidays. Today 7/10 is almost as well-known as 4/20 when it comes to green holidays and shows no signs of slowing down!
And So, We Dab
So, on 7/10 we dab. We dab together to be social and celebrate the wonderful culture we all live in, a onetime counterculture that is now just culture. With that said, you should probably get stocked up for the holiday and boy do we have some recommendations! Unfortunately, we don’t carry any oils on the site, but you can stop into our East Dubuque location and try our amazing THC-A Badder. The selection is ever changing but the Vanilla Frosty is to die for! Don’t worry, if you aren’t a dabber, carts are oil too so you can still join in the festivities. Not sure what to pick and need more information, just check out this Dabs: The Sleeping Giant of THC Products article. No matter what your plans are for 7/10, take a moment and reflect on how far the world has come to celebrate a day like it and enjoy the holiday.
