The post What To Expect When Smoking Weed For The First Time appeared first on The Fresh Toast.
You know what’s wrong with shopping for cannabis today? Pretty much everything! Prices are too high, there’s no way to sample new brands, you can’t smell or observe the product you want before buying it, it’s hard to get reliable recommendations, and it’s difficult to find consistent quality. Why should finding new cannabis products be more complicated than finding a new favorite wine or book?
Now it doesn’t have to be, thanks to the Nugg Club Box, California’s first true weed subscription box. It offers over $225 worth of products for only $99 and gives subscribers access to a members-only wholesale marketplace. Dope, right?
It’s Hard to Discover What Products You Like
The market doesn’t make sense. People need to touch and experience new products to decide what’s right for them, yet California’s cannabis laws make it impossible to do so.
Cannabis strains are just as unique and individualized as humans are. Your best friend’s favorite flavor might only taste so-so for you, or it could be the best thing that’s happened to you since you started smoking weed. There’s just no way to know ‘till you try it, which can be an expensive-as-hell, trial-by-error process.
If you’re looking for a new favorite wine, it’s as simple as scheduling a tasting at a winery. Swirl, sniff, sip, and spit ‘till you find the aromatic, sensuous blend that tickles your taste buds just right. This format doesn’t exist in the cannabis world. The only option for trying new products is to make a massive commitment and purchase full-price items from a dispensary. It can be a lot of money to risk for a potentially disappointing experience.
There needs to be a better way.
A Better (and Cheaper) Alternative to Trying New Cannabis Products
Hey, we get it — we all have commitment issues sometimes. I mean, you wouldn’t marry someone before you went on a date with them, right? But free cannabis samples are simply a no-go in California — and in most other legal states. Thankfully, that’s where Nugg Club comes in handy.
The Nugg Club cannabis subscription box takes the sting out of the trial-and-error process by giving you the best deal in the business: Over $200 worth of full-sized, personally-curated premium cannabis products for only $99. (Cue angelic music)
How Nugg Club Works
You can get the Nugg Club box delivered whenever you want — once a month, every other month, or every three months depending on your preference. There’s no rigid commitment structure, and you can cancel at any time. You select the type of products you want, then Nugg Club’s curation team packs your box with the brands and products they think you’ll love. And, the good news is the Nugg team has vetted every single product that goes into each box. That way, quality is consistent every time.
Getting started is quick and painless:
1) Click “Get Started” at NuggClub.com
2) Choose between edibles, vapes, flower, or pre-rolls.
3) Select your preference for indica, sativa or hybrid strains.
4) Enter a discount code (use code MJANE for $10 off).
4) Select your delivery frequency preference (monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly)
5) Choose your preferred delivery dates and times.
Then all you have to do is enter your delivery address, payment information, and wait for your goodie box to arrive! (It usually takes between 4-9 days after your purchase date)
What’s in the Nugg Club Box?
Your Nugg Club Box will contain an average of six (give or take) full-sized cannabis products. These aren’t sample sizes, either — they’re the same products you’d purchase at a dispensary. The only difference is they’re upwards of 60 percent cheaper than the prices at your local pot shop.
These personally curated selections include well-known name brands such as Eureka, Stone Road and Kahna, plus exciting new finds like Chemistry, Pantry, Dreamland, and Dropout. Every box has a new assortment of products and brands for you to try, and they’re perfect for men and women. In fact, almost half of Nugg Club’s customers are femme-identifying!
Buy Add-Ons at Wholesale Prices
If super affordable access to a regularly delivered curation of incredible products didn’t already get your attention, get this. Once you’re a subscriber, you earn the ability to purchase add-ons at steep discounts: 40 percent to 60 percent off retail prices! Yep, that’s right. And that’s on top of the incredible value of your box. Plus, you can purchase any of the products that came in previous Nugg Club boxes at wholesale prices to include them in your next delivery.
The Nugg Club Box is Only $99
We know it sounds nuts. How can Nugg Club possibly offer all of this for such a low price? Well, there is a method to this madness. Nugg Club’s Inventory and Product Curation Manager (AKA — the Curator-in-Chief) Mary Martinez says there’s an advantage to offering a service like Nugg Club’s. “Being the first true monthly marijuana subscription service means we’re able to bring something new to both brands and consumers ” says Martinez. “Brands are looking for reliable ways of getting their products into people’s hands, and telling their story the way they want it to be told. And let’s face it, most budtenders don’t exactly know the ins-and-outs of every product they’re selling.”
Martinez goes on to say that by asking customers to review the products they receive, Nugg Club is able to give brands customer feedback and ensure that delivery boxes remain premium in quality. Nugg Club also offers brand’s a platform to tell their story, something they can’t really do anywhere else. As a result, brands give them great discounts on product, and we pass the savings along to customers.
Here Are Some Brands Nugg Club has Partnered With (So Far)
The sole job of Nugg Club’s team of curators is to discover the best brands and products California has to offer. For each product that lands in the monthly subscription box, the curation team has tested it multiple times to ensure the consistency of the product matches its quality.
They also do diligent research on each brand, too. They read thousands of customer reviews about a brand, and research the growing, production, and manufacturing processes used to create a product. They even prioritize brands that have incorporated social responsibility into their business model.
Nugg Club has donated to Campaign Zero, Critical Resistance, and the Trans Cultural District. They’re always seeking out other brands that want to leverage their position in the cannabis industry to improve the lives of those most negatively impacted by the War on Drugs.
Chemistry
The UNO was timed to launch with the Nugg Club Box, and it is a smash hit. What makes Chemistry such a special brand is that they understand the importance of all the cannabinoids, not just THC and CBD.

Welcome back to MERRY JANE’s Goods of the Month, a column where we highlight the staff’s favorite cutting-edge products, innovations, and updates in the world of weed. We smoke a lot of pot here — and we’re always itching to try the latest and greatest stuff that fits under the 420 umbrella.
This Sunday is Father’s Day (incase you forgot!), and we want show some love to dads who are down with the dank. First though, we want to emphasize something that troubles our staff: There are countless cannabis brands tailored to “marijuana moms” (sometimes glibly described as former “Chardonnay moms”), while there are noticeably less products that are explicitly marketed towards male-identifying parents.
We believe this is due to the pervasive misogyny that seeps into every facet of American culture, and how women are stigmatized for using cannabis in ways that men do not face. Therefore, companies believe they need to peddle their products to femme folks in specialized or nuanced ways — while every other product is apparently acceptible for men? It’s weird, right? Why do we need to market cannabis in particular ways to women, especially mothers? It often feels patronizing and belittling — as if cannabis consumption were entirely different acts for men and women.
Sure, there are male-targeted brands like Dad Grass, but the fact that such a company even exists speaks to how the cannabis landscape is still a gendered space with plenty of patriarchal baggage weighing it down. The idea that men consume cannabis — whether recreationally or medicinally — differently from femme-identifying people is flawed. Cannabis is for everyone, and it’s worth emphasizing that no two consumers will experience its wonders in the same way. To say that “dads will like this and moms will like that” is bullshit, and we do not want to perpetuate such a schism.
As such, the following products were chosen because they rule no matter who you are — whether a mom, a dad, or someone who has kids but doesn’t identify with any particular gender label. Enjoy, and may your parents enjoy the pleasures of pot without being pigeonholed!
Zig-Zag
Zig-Zag papers have a legacy. They’ve been around since the stone age! Just kidding. But, they have been around since 1879, making them the oldest rolling paper crew in the game. So, realistically, your ‘rents probably already know what Zig-Zags are.
What better gift to share this Father’s Day than a Zig-Zag OG Bundle, which contains a rolling tray, two different sized rolling machines, and papers. The name says it all, it’s designed, crafted, and pieced together with your pops in mind — the real OGs in your life! Nothing says I love you like the nostalgia that comes along with the Zig-Zag papers your pops started with.

Farmer and the Felon Cannabis Co.
Weed is a gift from the Universe. That’s why it will always be a reliable present. Nothing says “I love you” or “let’s be friends” or “I’m sorry for all the bullshit I put you through in high school” more than giving someone cannabis.
