We knew spritzes were popular in the UK: according to the CGA, summer sales of Aperol increased 52% when compared with the same period last year. Armed with this information, we set off to the press to introduce them to the most delicious spritz recipe they’d tried yet. From time to time, we may have “one of those days” where the only thing that could take the edge off is a puff or two on a fine spliff. And not just any weed will do; you need a literal champion, so allow us to introduce the 2018 award-winning, Melonade strain. I love this juice. I'm afraid I do have to disagree with Ria from Ipswich and her ever so subtle review: this juice isn't meant to be straight up melon - its melonade and that's what it tastes like. Melonade is a 70% VG blend, meaning it works best in sub ohm tanks and kits to produce big clouds with an even bigger flavour.

If 1 in 10 people in the UK have some form of dyslexia, and 80% of students are going undiagnosed in schools, how many kids are being cheated out of a proper education? This juicy game-show puts our education system to the test, and asks why neurodiversity is so often branded as a weakness when it could be our biggest strength! You get to smell the notes of earthy citrus and watermelon when you open a jar of Melonade weed, which is similar to its taste. The notes are mild yet unmistakable, making it quite pleasant to the taste buds. The higher levels of THC - 23% – 25 % - make this strain ideal for users that have built a tolerance for marijuana. The Expected Effects

Pinene is one of the most widespread terpenes in nature, found in pine trees, basil, nutmeg, parsley, and rosemary. Cannabis containing terpene ( alpha-pinene or α-pinene) boasts a strong pine scent. Pinene is responsible for anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and anti-anxiety effects.

Throughout Melonade, select members of the audience take part in games poking fun at the Conservative government’s failure to respect neurodivergent and otherwise creatively-minded pupils. These included popping balloons full of money while wearing masks of Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove; a Pictionary-style game focusing on dyslexia in society (Turner is dyslexic); and, for me, a spelling game gone wrong. Winners get gold stars; losers are forced to wear dunce caps until the show’s grand finale, where the contestants return to harvest melon juice with tools of their choice. Blender –I like to puree up the watermelon in my blender, but any good quality blender will work just fine. Humulene (also known as α-humulene) is one of the major terpenes found in cannabis, contributing to woody, earthy, spicy, herbaceous, and, mainly, floral aromas of cannabis. Used in modern medicine, humulene offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and appetite suppressant effects, which have been well-researched by pharmaceutical companies. Post moderation is undertaken full-time 9am-6pm on weekdays, and on a part-time basis outwith those hours.The Melonade strain’s flowering time will usually depend on the phenotype you have, namely Melonade No.7 and Melonade No. 5, but it ranges between 6-9 weeks with flowering starting around day 45. Outdoor cultivators can prepare for a mid-October harvest. How much does the melonade strain yield? Zap! Juice is a UK based eliquid brand and manufacturer, committed to using pharmaceutical grade ingredients to create their premium blends. Featuring a variety of fruity and beverage style flavours, there's something to suit most palates. If you're a fan of cola, why not also try Vintage Cola? Limonene (also known as d-limonene) is the second most common terpene in nature and the third most common terpene in cannabis. It has a powerful citrus aroma and can be found in all citruses, including lemons, oranges, grapefruits, limes, juniper, etc. Limonene is known to elevate moods and provide anxiety, depression, and stress relief. Turner is a great personality on-stage but her show just needs a little bit more to get the crowd going. What she does particularly well, though, is sprinkle just enough of her story throughout all the fun parts that the audience are heavily invested by the time they’re hit with the incredibly well-written emotional monologue at the end. Cannabigerol, or CBG, is one of the minor cannabis compounds in adult plants. On the other hand, young ones contain a lot of this antibacterial and anti-inflammatory component. During the growth, CBG is converted into different cannabinoids, mostly THC and CBD. The compound itself increases appetite and decreases eye pressure.

As with many cannabis strains, there is much speculation around the origins of the Melonade strain and who gets credited as the original breeder. Some of the prime candidates are Dying Breed Seeds, AlienLabs, and Midwest Best, although AlienLabs popularized the strain with their version of it. How to grow the melonade strain Cannabinol, or CBN, is a trace element in cannabis that is considered to be mildly psychoactive. It appears from oxidation THC, exposed to light and heat. CBN is mostly contained in old cannabis and in traditional hashish. It is effective against insomnia, bacterial infections and appetite loss. Sugar –Bring on the sweetness! Sugar is the balancer in this drink. The tart from the lemon and the watermelon flavoring need a bit of sweetener to help boost the flavor. Melonade has wonderful, fun branding; here to ‘bring colour to your summer’. It really is the perfect light drink for the season, only containing 12% ABV. The excellent liquid speaks for itself. Melonade has won tonnes of awards including a Double Gold at the 2019 Berlin International Spirits Competition, Gold at the Berlin International Spirits Competition 2018, Silver at the San Francisco Spirits Competition 2018 and Bronze in London International Spirits Challenge 2018-2019. If you come to this juice looking for an over the top melon flavour then you'll be disappointed; this juice is subtle, well defined but not a stereotypical watermelon flavour. I find it to be well balanced and smooth, not harsh and dry at all. I would suggest that anyone finding it that way isn't doing it right.Myrcene (also known as β-myrcene) is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis, representing more than 20% of the modern marijuana terpene profile. Myrcene has a distinct earthy, musky flavor, resembling cloves. It is responsible for calming and soothing effects of weed. Myrcene is also found in hops, thyme, mango, lemongrass, guava melon. We’re thrilled to have Melonade as a part of our portfolio. The liquid is fantastic – it’s no wonder it’s award-winning – and the branding is so attractive and colourful. We’re predicting the Melospritz is going to be the drink of the summer.” Don’t forget the sugar! With all that lemon flavoring, you will need to sweeten it up. I have never tried it with sugar substitutes, so I can’t say if it works as well.
