Buy Kief – Red Congolese at Ganja West Online Dispensary Shop

Kief – Red Congolese is an insanely popular 100% pure sativa strain that is the result of a cross between a female Congolese X Mexican Sativa X Afghani. This dank bud won 3rd Place for Best at High Times’ Cannabis Cup in 2013, and boasts a THC level that ranges from 18-20% on average. The Red Congolese high is often described as a feeling of elation and awareness with alertness and an increased ability to focus. This is accompanied by a light tingly body high with amplified senses and excitable energy that slowly fades into a feeling of tranquility and well-being.

Because of these uplifting effects, this strain is often used as a wake-and-bake treatment, and is ideal for treating patients suffering from conditions such as anxiety disorders, tension, chronic stress, and fatigue. The Red Congolese buds have fluffy and airy light minty green nugs with deep orange and red undertones, thin fiery orange hairs, a layer of fine crystal trichomes, and are sticky with syrupy sweet resin. With a fruity cheesy aroma and a taste of spicy berry, Red Congolese certainly is a delicious treatment option for any medical cannabis patient.

What is Kief?

To begin, kief refers to the trichomes of cannabis that may accumulate in grinders. Kief contains a higher concentration of cannabinoids. Traditionally, kief has been pressed into hashish for convenience in storage. After the kief is collected, it is heated and pressurized which turns into hashish. Lastly, it can also be vaporized or smoked.

Kief is usually darker than trichomes, ranging from gold to brown. It’s a powdery substance that is somewhat sticky, though less so than trichomes on a bud.

How to Use Kief

Now that you have a pile of kief, what to do with it?

First, potency can increase with a dusting of kief on top of your bowl. Corner your hits to get the most, which entails burning a quadrant of the bowl at a time. We want to point out that kief burns very quickly. As a result, we recommend spacing it over the outer lining of your bowl to ensure it burns longer. Otherwise, you’ll end up wasting it.

Next, pepper your cannabis with a pinch of kief. The extra trichomes should stick to the ground leaves, adding potency to your joint.

For a more advanced experience, dampen the outside of your joint with a lick. Then, roll the top 1/3 of the joint in kief. This kief-coated joint is often call a “twaxed” joint.

Also, Cannabutter has many uses, and you can add kief to it to boost potency. Remember to mix the kief in with the flower when you decarboxylate it.
