Legal Lean CBD Vape Pen Review

Product: Legal Lean CBD Vape Cartridge [1 ml, 200 mg CBD]

Manufacturer/Vendor: Legal Lean [Purchased from CBD Warehouse USA]

Cost: $25.00

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I heard about Legal Lean’s CBD Vape Cartridges from one of my visitors on my website who suggested I try it and asked if it worked. I did visit 2 head shops trying to find it, and 1 vape store. I had no luck in person. I could not find it on Legal Lean’s actual website or any of their storefronts. The only place I had luck getting it from was CBD Warehouse USA, whom took forever to ship it to me and pretty much sent me a crappy product in a crappy package. I’m not even sure it wasn’t already sold to someone else and returned. It seemed opened, not by the post office, but by the previous owner. The entire transaction was pretty unprofessional and my receipt might as well have been handwritten. Still, the cartridge itself was intact and I gave it the best consideration I could!

Product Administration

I puffed on this all throughout the entire day, operating normally otherwise (still working, still eating regular meals, and maintaining hydration). I ended up using about 25 percent of the cartridge up within a single day. This cartridge worked with my both my EVOD vape pens without any problem.

Product Effects

The taste was okay, the smell was okay, and the cloud was decent. Unfortunately, however, there were no effects from vaping…despite rolling through more than 25 percent of the 1 ml cartridge within a single day, I can confidently say I experienced no effects at all. The product definitely does not have any synthetics in it, as I would have for sure felt that, so I can at least say that. Normally, if I experience anything from CBD it will be sleepiness. Though with Legal Lean’s CBD Vape Pen I actually ended up staying up longer, probably out of frustration trying to get effects from it.

Final Thoughts

All in all, I cannot recommend this vape cartridge by Legal Lean. While this CBD vape cartridge only earned a 2 Star Fat Sammy Rating, their liquid legal lean itself did earn a 3 star rating. (only the CBD cartridges seem to not be available on their site). Regardless, the product itself was ordered from CBD Warehouse USA, showed up almost 2 weeks after I ordered it, the packaging was ripped open and busted, as if they shipped me a returned product…and the actual effects were nonexistent. The cloud was real, the stuff really vaped, and it didn’t taste or smell half-bad, which is the only reason it has not received a 1 star review.

Trainwreck Multistrain Earth Kratom Review

Product: Trainwreck (Earth Kratom) – 65 capsules

Manufacturer/Vendor: Earth Kratom

Website: Earth Kratom

Cost: $24.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I should note that I purchased my Trainwreck Earth Kratom from a head shop while on vacation in Boston…so I paid a little more (about $44.00 if I remember correctly), however, I have listed the price as it is obtainable through Earth Kratom directly for much less. There is nothing special about the packaging. It does reseal but the bag is pretty generic. The label is a sticker on the front, though that hardly matters…as when it comes to Kratom, barely anyone has pretty packaging yet still (besides maybe O.P.M.S. Kratom, which is doing that part very very well in my opinion). The capsules are standard size 00 gelcaps.

Product Administration

Personally, I’m not really a capsule kind of guy, but I still wanted to try the Trainwreck kratom product since it mixed all the strains together. I remove the powder from the capsule, one by one, into my palm, tossing each powder pile into my mouth and washing it down “toss n wash”-style. Two gulps of water works for each one. I took 5 capsules total, all within 20 minutes and had only consumed a couple glasses of juice and some fruit (berries and bananas) earlier in the day. I did take another 5 capsules over the course of the rest of the day afterwards.

Product Effects

When it comes to Kratom, Earth Kratom’s Trainwreck is top notch. The kick is hard and it doesn’t die down very quick either. The first 5 caps lasted me about 4 hours before I began to think about “keeping the party going.” I got the lightness, the talkative-social boost, and the pain relief all at once. Usually, kratom strains will target certain things. I usually prefer White Maeng Da. But this was like…the best parts of all of the strains put together. I was sociable, happy, and motivated. I had energy and it seemed to go on forever. Yet, I was also very relaxed and my back and neck pain were reduced to basically being nonexistent. One cap at a time over the course of about 10 hours after the “come down” started, kept me going and happy for the rest of the day. I definitely had a bit of a hangover, with a pretty big headache the next day…so I would suggest drinking more liquids than I consumed. I mostly forgot to drink…and thus I believe the headaches the next day were due to sleeping in longer and being dehydrated.

Final Thoughts

4 Star Fat Sammy Reviews are one of the rarer rankings, but Earth Kratom’s Trainwreck definitely packs a beautiful, multi-colored punch that makes other Kratom look sincerely weak. I would not suggest Trainwreck for any regular Kratom users, as the mixture of the various strains will definitely build up a faster tolerance and make Kratom much less worthwhile in the longrun. However, for the occasional user, it does nto get more powerful than mixing all of the strains together like this. Personally, I would only use it once in a while myself, as I like to use a little kratom on the regular from time to time and seem to do better switching from strain to strain to keep tolerance lower (to avoid having to increase dosages). That mentioned, Earth Kratom sells plenty of single strain products as well and I would feel awesomely comfortable recommending them to anyone.

Diamond CBD CHILL Gummies Review

Product: Diamond CBD CHILL Gummies (sour snakes – 100x strength)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Diamond CBD

Website: Diamond CBD

Cost: $19.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I purchased 2 of the Diamond CBD Gummies bags and trusted the company’s word that no synthetics were sprayed onto the gummies (as a previous scare had forced the company to release a statement claiming it was a cheap knock off that had stolen their product and sprayed synthetic chemicals on the gummies, causing a lot of people to go to the hospital). I sacrificed one gummie for testing myself (simple reagent tests), finding nothing that I was personally worried about (I cannot speak for all batches, or even all versions). Here are some key points to note:

The bag was not very impressive, but it did reseal which was nice
The label was worn and either I felt I got an old batch or it wasn’t really “made in the USA”
The shipping was professional and it showed up pretty quickly
The consistency in the taste was not the same from worm to worm
The worms still felt new in the package, and oily. Nothing had dried up

After my inspection of the bag and packaging came to a climatic ending, I began testing and consumption.

Product Administration

After testing one gummy, I began consumption with 1 gummy as well. After realizing there was definitely no synthetics in my batch (I rolled through the rest of the bag, one at a time until I was complete). I think I ate more Diamond CBD gummies in less time than I have ever consumed of any other kind of gummies. I ate a total of 2 bags worth (about 20-24 gummies it seemed) and I did so within 6-8 hours. Yes, it was a lot. They had a pretty planty-oily kind of taste and it was not something I was able to get used to. Therefore, a lot of fruit juice was consumed as well. Other than the fruit juice, I consumed the gummies on an empty stomach in the afternoon.

Product Effects

I did not feel anything from the gummies. In general, I have been void of most anxieties in life, so I cannot really attest to Diamond CBD gummies’ ability to relieve anxiety…but I did not feel any type of relaxation, high, or pain relief. I was disappointed to not have any effects after eating so many of them.

Final Thoughts

These gummies sucked. I ate a ton of them, didn’t feel anything. I know that this company had some issues with spraying their gummies with synthetic chemicals (unlisted ingredients), however, despite just testing it with one, I didn’t get any hallucinogenic, or crazy effects like spice. I also did not get any CBD-expected highs (pain relief, relaxation, body highs, etc). All I got was a full belly and then really greasy diarrhea. I am sorry to be graphic, however, as one of my readers you probably understand that I’m as honest and “to the point” as it gets for a reason. The price was high. The gummies tasted terrible even as just a snack I wouldn’t buy them again. I rarely award 1 star ratings. And I did give Diamond CBD a higher review for another one of their products, however, these gummies sucked and receive my lowest rating.

Please note Diamond CBD is a big company and has a lot of products. I only tried the two that appealed to me most. There are a number of other products available in their store. Additionally, I will admit that CBD typically does not have that big of an effect on me.

Red X Dawn Liquid Energy Review

Product: Red Dawn Liquid [Mood Enhancement and Energy] (2 oz)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Red X Dawn

Website: Red X Dawn Energy

Cost: $12.95

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

My Red Dawn Liquid was purchased from a retailer, not the site direct…and I paid a little more than the $12.95 listed here…but that’s what you get when you purchase it convenience-style. I have ordered from Red Dawn before though, and their products show up completely professional and in a timely manner. This explains why my expectations were higher for this product. The label was hard to read, the cap is not good enough for the liquid to be capped and placed on its side (found that out the hard way), and the bottle is cheap. Bad start on this one, but as always, I try to look beyond packaging and “presentation”-oriented failures in order to give a totally unbiased assessment of the effects. I bought four of the 2 ounce bottles for this particular legal high experiment. Two were for me, two were for a friend.

Product Administration

Administration is easy: drink two “capfuls” and that’s a serving. I absolutely drank half of the entire shot all at once, ignoring the concept of trying to measure it into a cap. I then placed the rest in a cup holder (where it subsequently fell on its side). My friend drank his entire first bottle all at once. Both of us had a hearty bit of taco bell, myself two crunch wrap supremes and my friend a bunch of tacos. Returning 20 minutes later, I realized a lot of my liquid had leaked out of the container and into the cup holder. I then downed what was left and my entire second bottle (for a total of about 3.25 fluid ounces of Red Dawn Liquid within 20 minutes). My friend drank his entire second bottle along with me.

Be prepared for a mostly cough syrupy-like taste. In other words, it just tastes pretty bad.

Product Effects

Neither myself nor my friend experienced any real mood enhancement or energy, which are both of the “targeted effects” listed on the bottle. I felt a little sick but did not vomit or have diarrhea (just a little light nausea for about 20 minutes or so about 30 minutes after the second bottle was consumed). I will not attribute that to Red Dawn though, but instead to the Taco Bell. My friend did not get sick. Neither of us had any notable change, except the need to use the restroom to urinate constantly. In fact, that would be the only real effect we would say Red Dawn Liquid provided us: a need to urinate A LOT.

Final Thoughts

Red X Dawn has made a lot of products, but unfortunately I would not recommend Red Dawn Liquid, as it simply did not provide any effects. I would not discourage someone who wanted to try it still, as the formula does include caffeine, so maybe if we had not eaten so much before hand, we would have experienced at least a little pep…however, truthfully it would not have been worth the amount we paid retail for it. Maybe if we bought a bigger bottle in bulk and took 2-3 times the dose on an empty stomach, but with how sick I felt, I am sure the nausea could lead to vomiting at that point. Bottom line: I am just not sure Red Dawn Liquid is worth the effort to MAKE IT work correctly. There are too many other mood enhancers and energy products (made by Red Dawn and other companies alike) that work much better and for better cost-per-use.

Bananza Shake “Milkshake” E-Liquid Review

Product: Bananza Shake Milkshake Eliquid

Manufacturer/Vendor: Milkshake E-Liquids

Website: Milkshake E-Liquids

Cost: $14.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

The Bananza E-Liquid is a part of the Milkshake E-Liquids line. It is available for sale all over the place, however, it appears many “knock offs” exist as well. I got my Bananza from Milkshakeeliquids.com direct to ensure I got the real stuff. It came fairly quickly, professionally packaged and even the inside of the packaging smelled sweet. The mixture is supposed to be 70 percent vg (vegetable glycerin) and 30 percent pg (propylene glycol). This is great for me as I (like many people) am allergic to PG. Having a little is okay, having a lot is too much. VG is much safer, even if it makes the vaping coils wear out faster, or whatever. This is the first Milkshake Eliquid I have tried.

Product Administration

I used an entire tank for this stuff, I puffed on it for about a day. I use an older Sigelei. While it did work with my equipment okay, it is worth noting how simple the bottle design is. A lot of companies try to use a fancy bottle design and end up with a product that is harder for the customer to use. Milkshake Eliquids deserves credit for having an easy-to-use bottle that seems as durable and reliable as they come.

Product Effects

The e-juice can be felt, pretty quickly, and is definitely one of the better tasting e-juices out there. I only used the Bananza flavor which definitely tasted like it was described: creamy vanilla mixed with loads of bananas. Other people can smell it and easily identify it. It’s got a mild buzz that would be great for someone who doesn’t vape all the time…however, it is not as strong as I personally prefer.

Final Thoughts

I want to be able to say this was the best e-liquid ever, as I like Milkshake E-Liquid’s branding, however, in terms of actual vape juice, this was a middle of the line potency. This is still a good thing though as there are so many junk e-juices out there.

To be clear: there are three things that matter most to me when rating an ejuice, and none of them are price. First is how it affects my equipment. If it runs through the equipment faster, it gets a lower rating. Second is how effective it is when I administer it (the effects must be noticeable, good, and with little to no side effects in order to receive a higher rating). If a product gives me negative side effects or is less effective, it gets a lower rating. Third is the products “enjoyability.” Enjoyability, to me, means taste, smell, ease-of-use, and desire to reuse based upon experience. Overall, a 3 star rating with me is really good…as I can be kind of harsh on some products. I will try some more Milkshake products soon and follow up, but this is a good, sweet tasting, mild-potency e-juice I feel I can confidently recommend.

Diamond CBD Crystal Dabs Review

Product: Diamond Natural CBD Infused Dabs (250mg bag)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Diamond CBD

Website: Diamond CBD

Cost: $29.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

The product showed up and looked like it was damaged. I am not sure if it was like that to start or not. Regardless the crystals were super sticky and everything inside the package was sticky. I overlooked this fact in my review, as the crystal “dabs” were still smokeable. I am only mentioning it in case other people find this problem. I have not had any issues with the other products I have ordered from Diamond in terms of shipping or packing, only the crystal dabs. I bought my CBD Crystal Dabs direct from Diamond after reading stuff that indicated there MIGHT be fake Diamond products out there (unverified).

Product Administration

I must admit, this is a hard product to actually work with. Much harder than normal THC-based dabs, which we all know can be sticky. This stuff burns differently, it’s stickier and it will ruin your dab glassware faster. That said, be prepared to toss a glass piece if you actually get through the full container (I doubt anyone will). I have hit it as many times as I could hit it until I literally couldn’t take it anymore (throat-wise).

Product Effects

Unfortunately I did not get any effects whatsoever from the CBD infused crystals. I definitely hit enough, I definitely put my heart into it and I definitely ruined glassware over it. Still, no effects.

Final Thoughts

I cannot recommend this product to anyone looking for any effects normally promoted by the CBD retailers (mellow body high only, pain relief, relaxation, etc). It does not offer any effects at all. The residue left on my fingers was almost enough irritation to give it a 1 star rating, but the otherwise general professionalism in packing, customer service and pricing compared to similar products allowed it to retain a Two Star Fat Sammy rating.

S.O.S. “Super Charged” Energy and Focus Review

Product: S.O.S. “Super Charged” Energy and Focus (Energy Shot)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Red X Dawn

Website: Red X Dawn Energy

Cost: $6.95

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

Red X Dawn has been around for a long time and their supplements come in many shapes and forms. Some of them work better than others (at least for me). This energy shot is one of the reasonably effective supplements for the cost. It arrives pretty quickly. The packaging itself is not really impressive and my labels were coming off significantly. They also faded some, probably head or something from going through the mail. Nonetheless, worth mentioning. It smelled kind of bad, but as I always note when it smells bad, it isn’t really about the smell or taste, but the effects.

Product Administration

I purchased 2 of these S.O.S. Energy drink / shots. The instructions indicate that one bottle is one serving. I decided to down the whole thing all at once. After an hour and a half, I ended up using the second bottle. Taste: bad. Smell: bad. Ease of consumption: Easy. I consumed 1 peanut butter sandwich (chunky), 1 glass of minute maid orange juice, and 1 iced cream sandwich before I consumed this product. That’s all I had eaten all day up until that point.

Product Effects

After about 20 minutes after consumption, I began to notice a desire to want to be productive. Unfortunately by the time I found something to do, I was not interested anymore and instead wanted to “treat myself to a little time off.” Unfortunately by the time I found a game I wanted to play, I was feeling slightly tired. That’s about the time I decided to take the other bottle. After that, I was a little peppy, got into a single player game (old Nintendo game, you guys might know it. Chrono Trigger). I played for a while, a long time in fact, but the “high” was gone rather quickly. I think it did contribute to me staying up later. But I had no desire to interact with any other human beings, that’s for sure.

Final Thoughts

The Red X Dawn S.O.S. Energy Shot has an interesting effect. It is definitely not in the “upper” category in my opinion…despite being an “energy shot.” I realize they are relying on the combination of caffeine and L-Theanine to provide a “nootropics”-style pep, and that is definitely what I feel for a short time, but I do definitely get a bigger “downer” effect afterward. It does not necessarily make working any easier. It also did not make me more sociable. But it was something different. I can see this being a “once in a while” kind of thing, when I want to play video games alone, something single player. It did keep me up a while, despite me feeling a little detached. I give the Red X Dawn S.O.S. Energy shot a 3 star rating, as it might suit some folk better than me and definitely works better than some of the other products they (and others) have made.

Root of Happiness Samoan Kava Powder Review

Product: Premium Samoan Kava Powder (1/2 lb bag)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Root of Happiness

Website: Root of Happiness

Cost: $31.00

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

Realistically not much has ever really been expected out of the Kava products I have encountered. I have never had a really impressive experience on any Kava product, whether it was a vaped wax, a tea or liquid shot, nor any powders. Still, I approached Root of Happiness’ Premium Samoan Kava Powder as though it were the first time I had ever tried Kava. The packaging is nice. The powder is smooth and no anomalies were present in the blend (it looked evenly powderized). It smelled like you would imagine premium Kava would smell. The bag reseals. Shipping was a little slow, but admittedly it was around a holiday.

Product Administration

The instructions were to consume 2 grams of the kava strained through a strainer bag (basically making your own tea) in warm water, up to 3 times a day. I did all 3 servings within an hour (as a way to increase the potency to effects which could be felt). I did not flavor the water or anything, so it tasted pretty much like dirt. It also made my urine smell a little funny, but some of these kinds of things will do that and it never worries me too much (heck asparagus makes your urine smell funny, and other substances such as feverfew will color your urine orange or green). Bear in mind that still Kava is never recommended for people with kidney or liver problems though.

Product Effects

I waited 30 minutes after consuming the first glass of Root of Happiness’ Samoan Kava. It did not do anything. I did not feel peppy, energetic, talkative, or any of the things people hope for in a Kava experience. So I did it Fat Sammy style, and downed the next two servings back to back within 30 minutes…ensuring that I consumed the entire 3 servings within an hour. I still unfortunately felt nothing. Not at any point did I feel any change in mood, energy, or social relations.

Final Thoughts

Unfortunately, as good-looking as this product is, as smooth as the purchasing process was, as professional as it felt in my hands, it still tasted terrible and did absolutely nothing for me. If it were able to give me the effects people all seek-ought Kava for (energizing, social kind of substance), it would be worth the price…as you get a ton of the stuff for almost nothing. However, when you take into account it does nothing for you except make your mouth tingle and taste like dirt, the value quickly reduces to zero. I have to give it two stars instead of one, as it is not their fault Kava sucks…and there are so many companies out there selling a lot worse.

Drooly Clown Vape Juice Review

Product: Drooly (Clown Liquids) by Bad Drip Labs

Manufacturer/Vendor: Bad Drip Labs [Purchased from Premium Vape Supply]

Website: Premium Vape Supply

Cost: $14.95

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I should start out by mentioning I have reviewed another Bad Drip product, so I did understand what to expect. The company has improved on things since I have lasted purchased. While I bought my Drooly (60 ml) from Premium Vape Supply, it is also available in many head shops/vape stores. The product has a really cool theme, comes professionally packaged, and works great in just about any tank. The first thought upon opening the actual bottle: smells great! Drooly is part of the “Clown Liquids” line of e-liquid.

Product Administration

I use an older vape, an older Sigelei model. Though I watched my friend also load the ejuice into an awesome new K3 model. I imagine it works well with basically any of them. It’s all about burning at the right temperature anyway, and that may vary from model to model, but once you get your cloud right, you’ll realize this juice is pretty easy to work with.

Product Effects

Within 30-45 seconds of my first puff of Drooly vape juice I felt the buzz. I also had a really great taste in my mouth. The cloud itself smelled amazing and a friend with me (waiting in line to hit the new juice) commented on the outstanding, smooth smell of the cloud. Cloud is everything when it comes to vaping. It’s how we really know what’s going on with our vaporizers, with the intensity of the effects, and quality of the high. Seeing a good cloud, being able to smell it when you didn’t hit it, and understanding its potency is important. This stuff is great, and I have nothing bad to say about it (except it makes me vape more :p).

Final Thoughts

I have tried other Bad Drip products and have only been mildly impressed, however, the Clown Drooly vape juice has definitely caught my attention and received one of the rare 5 star Fat Sammy ratings. This stuff left me with a little buzz, a nice kick-on, and tasted pretty great. It was right up my alley in terms of style and flavor. I would highly encourage the Clown Drooly flavor to anyone looking for a new vape juice. It’s got the right amount of everything for me to solidly recommend it.

Mark Focus Drink Review (by Experience)

Product: Mark Focus Drink [Pineapple Flavor]

Manufacturer/Vendor: Limitless Life

Website: Limitless Life

Cost: $34.75

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

Mark Focus Energy Drink is made by Limitless Life (Limitless Life Supplements). They have made a lot of products that I have tried and reviewed. I like the company and they have always been professional, so I do approach their products with a higher expectation (sorry guys) and I hold them to higher standards like the nicer companies I purchase from. Still, bear in mind these products are all also being compared to one another. In terms of a focus energy drink, Mark is fairly good…but it ends up a three star due to the many other products that provide focus and/or energy for a better cost-per-use/experience. The label was a little hard to read, not sure if from a misprint, or what, but regardless, still legible. The packaging all normal, everything arrived professionally.

Product Administration

The solution looks harmless, smells a little strong (maybe because of the Pineapple flavoring) and tastes kind of bad. But we do not buy most of these kinds of things for taste. The instructions stated that you could dilute the stuff into water, but I prefer to ensure the effects are properly administered. Therefore, I chose sipping. I skipped the 1/4 bottle guidance and opted for sipping half the bottle at a time. Instead of waiting 2 hours in between sips, I sipped the whole bottle within an hour.

Product Effects

I did feel a little bit of a kick on, right before I was about to sip the other half. I would not say it was a ton of energy, but definitely a little motivation. I felt the need to want to work. I completed a bunch of stuff around the house that I have been massively procrastinating on, because I figured I could recreate the scene from the movie limitless. While that did not happen exactly, and I ran out of energy shortly after, I did manage to get enough done to at convince me that the product works. It may not last long, but it’s also not a scam.

Final Thoughts

All in all I have tried many Limitless Life products. I have liked a lot of them. Some of them, not as much. This is one of the ones that I would say is effective, probably for others more than me, but probably not worth the cost on a regular basis. The cost is mostly what holds this product back in my opinion…as I would not see myself wanting to spend that much for such a short experience every time…especially just “an okay” experience. Regardless, there are a lot of crappy products on the market and this is not one of those either. Hence it receives the 3 star Fat Sammy Rating.
