September 9, 2019 by Delonté Leave a Comment

Mankind Dispensary does weed delivery in San Diego. This service is extra useful for medicinal users who cannot easily leave home.

Cannabis Delivery in San Diego

Would you like to use a cannabis delivery service that brings weed to your home? If you live in the San Diego area, it’s possible. Mankind Dispensary delivers to a 20-mile radius in the San Diego area. Nice! No more traffic jams to sit in, and the benefits for medicinal users can be tremendous. Weed delivery in San Diego means that folks in pain from movement disorders, spasticity, inflammation or other conditions don’t have to put themselves through agony to shop for the cannabis that helps them.

Fast, Easy and Convenient

Whether you’re a recreational or medicinal user, having a San Diego dispensary that delivers means more convenience. Stay in your pajamas, take a longer lunch, spend more time with your family, start reading a new book…the choice is yours. If traffic is bad, it’s not on you to worry about.

We usually start delivery about 12:30 p.m. We deliver for most of the day, often until as late as 9 p.m. However, the cutoff time to put in an order for delivery is 7 p.m. Place your order, and it could be in your hands within hours. That’s a big reason we are one of the best San Diego dispensaries.

Bonanza of Products

Ordering is easy. Many products are on offer, including edibles, vapes, concentrates, fresh flowers, topicals and tinctures. You may already know your favorites, in which case ordering should be extremely smooth. If you’re new to the process or want something different, detailed descriptions are available with each product. For example, Platinum Vape Spacewalker delivers cerebral effects and relaxes your body. It has 92% THC and tastes of earthy pine and sweet and sour citrus.

You can shop by category (edibles, vapes, etc.), top sellers or price, among other categorizations. Many medicinal users prefer edibles. This form of cannabis tends to provide more pain relief and doesn’t require smoking. In any case, the category descriptions should help you decide which type of weed to order. Take the vapes description. It reads, “Smokeless form of inhalation. Faster consumption than edibles, without the smell and smoke of traditional flower.”

Delivery Arrangements

Once your orders are in the cart, you see an option for pickup or for delivery. Choose delivery. If you don’t already have an account, register one. Provide information such as your nickname and email address. We use your phone number only for delivery and pickup notices.

On the delivery reservation form, you’ll see the hours for pickup and delivery. We give you a phone number to contact our store if you need to get in touch. Next, enter the delivery address.

No one other than store personnel has access to the ID.

Great Option for Medicinal Users

Different ratios of CBD:THC from High Gorgeous

Many marijuana users have anxiety, depression, chronic pain, autoimmune disease or other conditions such as dystonia, multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury. Cannabis helps a good number of users with pain relief. They can sleep and move better, and they enjoy life more. However, they still deal with many issues. It may be nearly impossible or flat-out impossible for them to find the energy, stamina and range of motion to leave home and get in their car or on a bus, and head to a weed dispensary. Our cannabis delivery service means they don’t have to!

One major aim of Mankind Dispensary is to alleviate suffering one patient at a time. We’ll come to you so you don’t have to go out of your way to us.

If You Visit the Store

Mankind Dispensary delivers, but many customers enjoy coming into the store. For example, some people feel more comfortable discussing their marijuana needs and goals in person. In our shop, you can touch, smell and hold our products. We don’t lock them away. You deserve to know exactly what you are buying.

You can even order online and come into the store to pick up your order. Do it this way, and you save 10%. Similarly, sign up to receive information, and you get $10 off your first visit.

Either way, we want to make it easy for you to arrange delivery, order online or come into the store to shop.

CBD and THC: Finding your ideal Cannabinoid Ratio

August 1, 2019 by mankindcannabis Leave a Comment

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the chemical that all of us cannabis users know and love. It’s the cannabinoid that gives you that euphoric “high” effect. Many of us have also learned about THC’s sibling chemical CBD; toted in the news and drug stores as the latest miracle drug that can cure anything. Though this isn’t exactly true.

CBD + THC = Better

CBD, when paired with THC, has amazing medicinal benefits that differ from smoking any ol’ joint from your local weed dealer. There is a synergistic experience known as The Entourage Effect that occurs when multiple cannabinoids are consumed at the same time. In turn, you need fewer of each cannabinoid in order to reach a desired medicinal effect when you have as many of those cannabinoids as possible.

Depending on which ratio of the cannabinoids present in what you’re smoking, you can receive different effects. For example, CBD has shown evidence of quelling some of the negative side effects from consuming high levels of high THC like anxiety, paranoia, raised blood pressure and other feelings of “being out of control.” In turn, it makes for a calmer high that can be intense but manageable if you’re used to feeling too intoxicated by straight THC.

Cannabinoid Ratios Explained

Products that include both THC and CBD will have the quantity of both of these compounds, in relation to each other, listed as a ratio on their packaging. For example, if you have a product with 120mg of CBD and 40mg of THC, it will have a ratio of 3:1, CBD:THC. These ratios can vary in any direction of being CBD dominant, THC dominant, or equal parts of both.

Most modern cannabis breeding has produced strains of flower that are much higher in THC but much lower in CBD and other therapeutic cannabinoids. This means you’ll often see THC:CBD ratios at 300:1 and higher. Though this high THC can be fun for, and sought after by, the recreational user, it limits the amount of medicinal application for those that want relief but don’t want to be “high”. Luckily there are amazing breeders and cultivators who are creating and reviving high CBD flower strains that are the source of true full-spectrum and cannabinoid rich oils.

You can now find strains like AC/DC that come naturally with a 20:1 CBD:THC ratio which has worked wonders for mood disorders, depression, inflammation, epilepsy and many more. Ratios higher than a 12:1 CBD:THC ratio show little signs of creating an intoxicating effect for consumers. However, this is not a steadfast rule, as we all have differing sensitivities and tolerances to THC.

While high levels of THC may lead to intoxication, recent findings have shown that THC is favored as the most medicinal cannabinoid in cannabis, not CBD. This is not to discredit CBD entirely, as it has worked wonders for adolescents and adults alike who suffer from diseases and syndromes that can be completely reverted with CBD. Simply put though, having combinations of CBD and THC together show the broadest range of treatment options with increased efficacy. Finding your ratio is a matter of trial and error. If you aren’t sure what is right for you try talking with your budtender at Mankind in San Diego for some guidance.

Remember if you are taking cannabis for medicinal reasons it is important to speak with your doctor and get their recommendations for dosage and frequency of use. While budtenders can help you find the right strain in store, we are not doctors and therefore shouldn’t be consulted as such.

Mankind Dispensary is located at 7128 Miramar Rd in San Diego. We offer a wide array of flower, concentrates, vape, edibles, and other cannabis products. Mankind Delivery is available to those within a 20 mile radius from the store for those who may not be able to come in. Delivery is available from 12m to 7pm daily.

The Importance Of Cannabis Genetics

June 5, 2019 by mankindcannabis Leave a Comment

marijuana genetics — Indoor Cannabis Grow

When growing cannabis, a strain’s genetics are arguably one of the most important factors in deciding whether or not you’ll end up with some Grade-A chronic or some mids that you couldn’t pay anyone to smoke. Equally important when smoking, understanding genetics helps you better decide which strain will produce the affects you are looking for. There still remains pure heirloom strains which have survived for decades for sure. Most strains we know now have been strategically hybridized to create new variety and improve past strains with their most desirable traits. What are the basics of genetics, and why are they important to growing and smoking?

Genetic Manipulation How and Why

For growing, genetics will greatly contribute to determining a plant’s size, color, vigor, resistance to pests and mold, smell, taste, yield, and overall cannabinoid and terpene production. These qualities all vary from strain to strain based on its genotype, or genetic code which provides the framework for a strain’s attributes. This code is then expressed through a strain’s phenotype, or physical manifestation of a strains genotype (paired with contributing environmental factors). Like siblings who share DNA, different phenotypes are similar yet vary in how they are expressed. As a hypothetical example, pheno 1 may produce a shorter growing plant with the citrus smells from the mother plant, while pheno 2 may taste earthier, with heavy sedative affects from the father.

As the number of cultivators has increased, so too has strain hybridization. Strains that are unique and high yielding in cannabinoid content, terpene, and over all quantity production are the holy grail for growers. Hybridization helps accomplish this by creating new strains that potentially have the best traits of both parent strains. Growers embark on what’s known as a “phenotype hunt”. This is a large induction of hundreds to thousands of seeds in a search for a new perfect combination of traits from both parents. These traits include growing habits which can make filling a large room a headache. This is due to sporadic growth patterns or a walk in the park due to a strain’s uniformity. Single strains can be bred back into themselves to create more stable and predictable traits.

Consumption Junction Whats The Function?

From a smoking perspective, knowing the genetics of what you’re consuming helps you predict what you will feel and the potential quality of that flower. Genetic consistencies are displayed through strain names that help signify what type of affects you are going to feel. Jack Herer is a popular euphoric and soaring sativa that is crossed with many other strains. Thus, when you see Jack the Ripper or Candy Jack, you can expect similar effects to its notorious parent strain.

The tricky part is memorizing all of the cannabis strain trigger words. Haze, purple, blue, OG, kush, dream, jack, lemon, cookies, etc. These are all common prefixes and suffixes in strain names. Researching what these words genetic lineages are will help you better decipher what strain to pick up off the flower wall at Mankind.

Knowledge Is Power

Knowing which strain to grow and smoke can be a daunting task if you are new to cannabis. Even veterans of the industry are exposed to newly developed genetics, phenotypes and cannabis experiences every day. Taking the time to speak with a knowledgeable Mankind Dispensary consultant will help provide insight on strains you love and even help you find new favorite cannabis genetics in San Diego. Stop by today to find out which genetics are right for you!

Mankind Kitchen – Brownies & Granola Bars

May 27, 2019 by Delonté Leave a Comment

Homemade Edibles Done Right

We’ve all heard the horror stories of someone from the 1970s eating “magic brownies” and falling asleep for 3 days. It was a guessing game as to what you’d feel. But these day companies, and California law, have made it easier to dose out edibles. But still, wouldn’t you like to make your own?

The fun thing about making your own edibles is that you can be as creative as you want. Mix whatever flavors you like. Don’t want it to be so strong, dilute your butter or oil with regular butter or oil. The possibilities are endless! Dosing is simple – just divide how many milligrams are in your recipe by the amount you yield, and you should get a close estimate of how strong they will be.

It’s simple to infuse just about anything now a days, from butter, to oil, even honey. There’s the crock pot route, in which you can just throw in as much flower as you’d like (at least an 1/8^th) along with some butter and let them get to know each other for about 8 hours. If you’re looking for an easier way, you can purchase butter which is already infused, such as Heavenly Sweet Medibles 1000mg cannabutter. Whatever you’re looking for, from ounces to infuse your own butter, to pre-made butter, Mankind has got you covered. Come in and let us help you become a master edible chef!

Canna-Brownie’s For Your Soul

Makes 12-16 Brownies

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup cannabutter
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×9 baking pan with cooking spray or by brushing on some cannabutter for an extra kick. Melt your semi sweet chocolate in the microwave or use a double boil stove top method. Add the cannabutter to melted chocolate and mix until combined, then mix in sugar, salt, and vanilla.

Add the eggs one at a time, fully mixing each time. Lastly, mix in flour. Pour batter into baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool, then cut into desired pieces. The leftovers, if there are any, can be store in the fridge for up to a week.

Vegan Granola? Yes Please!

Makes 12 Bars

4 ½ cups of rolled oats

1 cup flour

¾ cup vegan cannabutter

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup maple syrup

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 cups of vegan chocolate chips mixed with dried fruits and nuts of your choice

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 baking pan. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Press your mixture into the pan lightly. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Let cool before cutting into bars.

“I got into baking because of my dad. He worked at a bakery when I was 9 and I’d often go to work with him and help him bake. He loves sweets, so when he stopped baking I started making cakes and other pastries for him. He taught me the joys of combining ingredients I love, and not always following the recipes, which is why I started cooking with cannabis.”

Cannabis Infused BBQ Sauce

marijuana edible delivery — Cannabis Infused BBQ Sauce

Bring On the Que

Summer time is the right time for some outdoor grilling with friends. That means good food and a healthy dose of some homemade BBQ sauce. Sounds pretty good right? Let’s do it one better.

We scoured the internet to find you this amazing recipe from Wikileaf lifestyle writer Jen Keehn. Behold, the cannabis infused BBQ sauce to make your grill a little hotter, and a whole lot cooler.

Cannabis Infused Sauce

This recipe can be used on anything from burgers to chicken and, for the vegetarians out there, even on your veggie burgers or vegetables! It’s easy to make, tastes great, and will give your food, and friends, a nice happy addition to the day.

Ingredients:

1/3-ounce cannabis, coarsely ground
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
½ cup apple cider vinegar
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
½ tablespoon onion powder
½ tablespoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Make The Magic!

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to just a boil and reduce heat to a low simmer. Let simmer for 1 hour, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and allow to cool. You can use immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container.

That’s it, all there is to it. Whether you add a little sativa to your sauce for an extra pick me up, or indica to help give that food coma a nice mellow addition is up to you. Do you have a favorite flower? Toss it in! Try something with a citrus taste, like some Humboldt County Indoor Citrus Twist (a nice sativa), to go along with a more Hispanic style fiesta.

Or throw in a little Strawberry Bliss from Wonderbrett (solid hybrid) into the mix if you are having a fruit filled feast. Not sure which strains are the right ones for you? Talk to one of our Budtenders at Mankind for a little guidance and some great suggestions.
