Scary Movies are a staple of the Halloween season and cannabis and hemp consumption comes with an untimely demise is a trope audience members wait for. Still, there are exceptions where the adult use cannabis consumer is the hero and others that are just fun to get blazed and giggle to. Cannabis, candy, and scary movies make great company as the season begins to change. The jump scares, yelling don’t go in there at the TV and laughing at all the in-jokes help remind us we are curious and still alive. In honor of Halloween, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorites for you. So, kick back in the cut, fire one up and let’s learn about some scary movies weed stuff.
WARNING: If you haven’t seen these movies yet, stoner spoilers are ahead!
The one that started it all! The franchise started in 1980 and by the third installment we saw our first cannabis user, Chuck, brutally murdered by the hulking villain, Jason Voorhees. Chuck stoned to the bone on some 80s swag gets curious as the power fails. He goes to the basement to check the fuse box and finds the masked man waiting and was electrocuted shortly thereafter. Chuck was the first of us to get killed but not the last. The Friday the 13th Franchise set in place many of the rules that would be discussed in our next entry.
Brought to us by one of the masters of the genre, Wes Craven, the original movie is a handbook on how to survive a horror movie. Randy the movie buff of the group lays out at a party. Though Randy never smokes cannabis on screen it is heavily implied that he partakes. His rules are as follows:
1. Never have sex!
2. Never drink or do drugs!
3. Never say you’ll be right back!
Ghostface makes sure that all those rules were proven true in the first movie. This was really the first horror movie to blend comedy and scary together that appealed to stoners in a major way and birthed an entirely new franchise that would further poke fun at the genre.
The franchise on this list with the least scary moments and the most stoner moments. A horror parody series that held back no punches and took shots at every serious horror film. The most notable scene comes from the first movie when Ghostface, yes same Ghostface, smokies a blunt with Shorty Meeks, played by Marlon Wayans. The two break out into a rap that will be remembered by its fans forever. The franchise took shots at everything that is and was pop culture, nothing was safe, and it was parody at its best which led to a flood of other parody movies.
The Cabin in the Woods broke the fourth wall in ways never done before. The movie revolves around a typical group of college kids you’d find in a horror movie, fully equipped with their own wise stoner Marty. The group was unknowingly taking part in an ancient group of blood rituals needed to save the world. In the end, Marty becomes the most heroic character and keep in mind Chris Hemsworth was also in this movie. If Marty was successful or failed is a matter of debate but what isn’t is that he broke the trope that stoners were easy prey!
This underground cult classic is a must see. No need to break the fourth wall if there are no walls. This mocumentary follows a man known as Leslie Vernon as documentary crew follows him around preparing for his burst into the hall of greats with Micheal, Freddy, and Jason. It only has one scene where cannabis is smoked, and Leslie calls them easy prey because they have no stamina or cardio. It includes cameos of some of horror’s all-time greats in new roles and pays homage to the films that came before it. It is cleverly written, quirky and funny, and filled with plot twists. No one knows about this movie. Tell everyone about it!

Summer is ending, the leaves will soon be changing color, but we still have one more summer holiday to celebrate, Labor Day! The true last big party weekend of the summer, Labor Day, has an old and fascinating history that deserves to be learned about and celebrated and RiverBluff Collective wants you to celebrate and learn with us. Get ready to learn more about Labor Day and some fun hemp-derived THC products to help you celebrate. Kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some Labor Day stuff!
Origin of Labor Day
In the late 1800’s with the rise of unions and the labor movements of the time, the leaders of these groups took inspiration for days celebrating labor in Canada and began celebrating various labor days around the country. Most historians trace Labor Day back to September of 1882; however, two men sharing similar names and jobs are often credited with its invention. The most commonly accepted origin of the holiday is accredited to Matthew Maguire, secretary of the Central Labor Union of New York. The other accepted origin of Labor Day is accredited to Peter J. McGuire, the president of the American Federation of Labor. Regardless of who originated the holiday, its intentions didn’t vary. Labor Day is meant to celebrate the hard work people put in over the year and spend some extra time with family and friends. In its early days, unions and companies would throw picnics for workers and families to enjoy and relax.
When Labor Day Became a Recognized Holiday
Oregon became the first state to recognize Labor Day as a holiday in 1887. By 1894, a majority of states had adopted Labor Day. In that same year Congress passed legislation to make Labor Day an official federal holiday and it was signed into law by President Grover Clevland. This was a first step but not in the right direction as the holiday only applied to federal workers and alienated the workers who had fought for it. That alienation led to continued strikes into the 1930’s, until all workers were allowed the day off or holiday pay when Labor Day was changed from a federal holiday to a statutory holiday by the individual states.
Products to Enjoy on Labor Day
Let’s build a RiverBluff Collective picnic basket in honor of the early labor days! They say don’t wear white after Labor Day, but they didn’t say anything about white chocolate. Look at RiverBluff Collective’s Cookies and Cream or French Toast bars. These chocolate bars are great for incognito consumption if at an event! What would Labor Day be without a drink or two? Not everyone is a fan of alcohol, so RiverBluff Collective offers a variety of drinks. For those looking for something light they have their 4mg THC hemp-infused seltzers in three crips flavors, Strawberry Acai Lemonade, Pineapple, and Lemon. For those looking to a bit bigger dose they have 10mg and 50mg options in their Bluff Pops. If you are with people who like to burn, you can’t beat an Apple Tart pre-roll finding its way into your basket!
Enjoy the Day
Remember, Labor Day is a day meant for relaxation, reflection on the work you’ve done, and spending time with friends, family, or just good people. It is the last gasp of summer, so try to enjoy some outside time if you can. Appreciate yourself, appreciate your coworkers, and appreciate all the hard work that has been done in this world to make it a holiday to be celebrated!

Mochi Berry is one of the most sought-after strains carried at RiverBluff Collective. The five tool strain that every cannaconsumer raves about has a mysterious origin story with no one claiming to be the first breeder. Still, it has risen in infamy for its potency, bag appeal, versatility, taste and aroma. It is a heavy hitter with knock out power and the endurance to go the distance. So, let’s look at the legend of the stain known as Mochi Berry! Kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some weed stuff.
The Lineage
Though no one has stepped up to claim to have bred Mochi Berry first, the stain has curiously been traced back to its notable parent plants. The offspring of Sunset Sherbert an indica dominant hybrid and Mochi Gelato a balanced hybrid, Mochi Berry has far surpassed its parents becoming more than just notable but legendary! Anyone who has tried it can testify to its legendary status.
The Basics
Though listed as an indica hybrid, Mochi Berry is closer to balanced than indica dominant at a 60/40 indica/sativa. Though its normally high testing amount of THCa totals can make one feel extra stoney for both moderate and limited consumers. For longtime smokers it hits more balanced than anything but still can be devastatingly potent! The buds are as dense as a rock but grind easily.
The Aroma and Taste
Mochi Berry retains all the flavor of its parent plants. It is creamy, sweet, and a combination of citrus and berry that leaves you delightfully dazed with a smile on your face. On exhale it smells just as sweet. In the bag, Mochi Berry smells like sugared berries with a touch of cider. Mochi Berry just isn’t a strain, it is an experience that shouldn’t be missed!
Effects
Mochi Berry is known for its blissful body high and inspirational spark. Though it is nearly balanced, it still leans indica and has effects associated with indica flower.
Relaxation
Stress relief
Help with sleep
Calming sensations
Should You Try It?
This a YES! There is a reason that Mochi Berry has been the longest running strain at RiverBluff Collective. People love it. Sativa lovers appreciate the creativity it provides and indica lovers love it because it does everything an indica should do and then some. It is potent, flavorful, and should not be missed. If you haven’t tried it yet, now would be the time. Though we don’t have it on our website, you can stop into our East Dubuque, IL location and grab a pre-roll today.

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 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! These fast-acting hemp-derived Delta 9 THC drinks are fabulous for summertime frivolity. They are 4mg each, come in three summertime staple flavors, and cost only $6 each! Or a 4 pack for $20!
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.

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.
