“It helped me unwind and become one with the sounds of the waves crashing and the seagulls seagulling.”

Seeking a respite from my daily grind, I woke up one sunny morning and decided to head due west. The beach was calling my name like a Price is Right contestant. Having heard of the Garanimals tendency to put the mind and body at ease, I made sure to bring it along. The moment I reached an almost empty parking lot near the county line, I took several pulls and found myself a secluded area between a rocky cliff and an unoccupied lifeguard tower. It made for easy vapin’ and breezy livin’. It’d been too long since I kicked it in the surf and sun, and the Garanimals pod formulated by Bear Extraction House and dosist made it a blissful experience from start to finish.

The taste of this vape pod had a pleasing herbal quality with a spicy finish. The dosist pen is also sleek and stealthy, which is de rigueur for any public outing. It helped me unwind and become one with the sounds of the waves crashing and the seagulls seagulling. I was so relaxed in fact that I passed out at one point—and when I came to it took me a minute to remember where I was. For all I knew, I could have entered a wormhole and disappeared for a thousand years and I’d have been none the wiser. My entire concept of time just went out the window, right along with whatever problems were ailing me.

After being punished with loud stimuli at work all week and mind numbing news cycles at home, a 500 milligram vape pod of Garanimals extract and a sandy inlet along the Malibu coast was just the sanity restoring prescription I was yearning for. It had the added benefit of really building up my appetite, and it made me wish I’d packed a second sandwich. As it stood, I had myself a solo picnic followed by a quick dip in some frigid water that I’m not sure I would have attempted had I not vaped the Garanimals down to its Garanicore. I even had me one of those, floating on the water, looking back at the shore moments like you see in one of those heavy drama movies. The ones where the main character has reached a crossroads in his or her life, and the enormity of the sea symbolizes the gravity of their internal struggle. In reality, I had none of that going on. I just wanted to check out for a bit and rebalance myself. In that respect, mission accomplished.

“It makes a good substitute for that evening glass of wine.”

The Garanimals pod by dosist and Bear Extraction House is an anxiety-busting vape in the mid-range of potency, and it exemplifies all the dreaminess of a true indica. It didn't make me feel drowsy or anxious in any way, and once the effects wore off it was business as usual. It makes a good substitute for that evening glass of wine, or it’s even great as a post workout indulgence for its muscle-relaxing goodness. Great for a midday snooze or as a helpful sleep aid at night, the Garanimals pod ultimately helps you tune out the noise of life and so you can get in touch with your true self.
