Recommended products from Berkshire Roots Pittsfield
Orange Chameleon Flower – Sativa High Times Cup – Sparkies – Best Sativa on r/Trees
Not only is Orange Chameleon an RMR favorite, but it’s also received an award in the High Times Cup’s Sativa category. Reddit’s r/Trees also voice their support, ranking it the Best Sativa outright. Genetics-wise, this is a cross of Thank You Jerry and Tangie, bred by Mycotek.
This strain certainly smells and tastes like (you guessed it) oranges. The citrusy terps overflow in Berkshire Root’s cultivar, and it’s no surprise it receives such resounding feedback. Sativa fans will simply love their first taste of Orange Chameleon. Patients may find that it helps relieve anxiety, as well as a general boost to energy and mood.
No. 6 Depot Dark Chocolate Cold Brew Bar
The No. 6 Depot Dark Chocolate Cold Brew Bar is a local roastery’s grind brought together with Berkshire Roots. The result is a delicious, infused dark chocolate bar. In West Stockbridge, you can find the shop in question: the No. 6 Depot Roastery and Café, a high-standards, small-town spectacle for any caffeine fiend.
This Cold Brew Chocolate Bar is allegedly the first in a line of several craft chocolate bars from Berkshire Roots. The Organic Dark Couverture chocolate used in this recipe mixes beautifully with No. 6’s unfathomably invigorating coffee to present a one-of-a-kind caffeine-cannabis crossover.
Planet of the Dawgs Crumble
An example of Berkshire Roots’ own Signature Blend™ extract line. Planet of the Dawgs is an Indica-dominant cross of 10th Planet and Stardawg, and possesses a gassy, skunky aroma with lemon/pine hints. You may also notice grape berry/notes and sweet citrus upon exhalation.
Planet of the Dawgs contains 76.4% THC on average and, as a part of the Signature Blend™ line, represents a curated decision by the extract experts at Berkshire Roots. Keep an eye out for the Signature Collection branded concentrates, as they’re known to sell out fast due to their meticulously maintained reputation.
Roots Fruits Vegan and Gluten-Free Infused Chews
Another High Times Cup win in the Edibles category are their in-house brand Roots Fruits. Gluten-free, vegan, and constructed from a few natural ingredients, these chews are both delicious, basically melting in your mouth, and are ideal for pretty much any edible enthusiast.
The recipe itself is of French origin, the “Pate de Fruit.” Take good care of these delicately concocted, jar-sealed cubes, which are made with real fruit puree and supreme THC extract. Cubes dose at 5mg THC, with 20 pieces to make 100mg in one jar.
Berkshire Roots Full Spectrum Dablicators | Fresh Wax in an Easy-to-Dispense Medium
The first dab applicators were created in California by the very same team bringing the innovative medium to Massachusetts. What this dispenser or applicator-like contraption offers is a chance to more consciously dose your wax when taking dabs. Better yet, it’s the ideal tool to snake a line of wax around a joint, or to drop a little in the center of your bowl. It has a metal tip on the end as well, which allows you to drip or dab direct to your rig.
When you pick a Berkshire Roots Dablicator, you’re also choosing their pristinely processed cannabis. Strains like the aforementioned Orange Chameleon and OGKB 2.0 fill the chamber alongside hand-picked terpenes for an efficient, satisfying dabbing experience.
Berkshire Roots 2:1 CBD Rich Soothing Stick
In order to provide one product that remedies a multitude of ailments, Berkshire Roots manufactures a high-THC (but even higher CBD) body balm rubbing stick, packaged and shaped much like a deodorant stick. Make no mistake, though, as the two products are very different.
The Soothing Stick contains over 200mg of THC and cannabidiol (CBD.) A 2:1 product, this means it contains a higher ratio of CBD to THC. Users will find that it has a nice fragrance, with hints of sage and lemon from the added essential oils. t is best recommended for those who use cannabis to treat body/joint paints and epidermal irritation as it is applied directly to the skin. Some of the collaborative ingredients also used in the stick include organic beeswax, evening primrose oil, and white willow bark powder.
