Mike Dees & Craig Becker from Olympia based punk band Fitz of Depression were not only my house mates, but coworkers as dishwashers at the upscale marina Budd Bay Cafe. Our lives had little separation as we idled the days away bombing hills on skateboards, dropping acid, buying records, hanging at their rehearsals, and downing cases of Rheinlander Beer every afternoon for $6.50 a pop, aka “Beer:30”.Mike was a key part of the scene and introduced me to his friends Kurt Cobain and Kathleen Hannah, well before they were well known.

View the original article about Linalool at Real Tested CBD.Cannabinoids give cannabis its unique effects, but they aren’t responsible for this plant’s unique scent. The aromas you pick up when you smell a batch of hemp flowers are related to compounds called “terpenes.” Although terpenes aren’t unique to the cannabis plant, they play a central role in giving each strain its flavor profile.
