Today our dear Gentleman is reviewing DC weed delivery service Athena's Gifts! You read about the Greek pantheon in grade school, remember? You probably got busy with life and didn't spend the next twenty years researching the ancient manuscripts. I bet you also didn't spend the next five years as an acolyte of her mystery cult, or your last five as its High Priest after that horrible accident befell Brendan, may he rest in the webs of her grace, and which we wouldn't want to happen to anyone else, eh? Eh? Athena is a pretty decent as far as Greek deities go. Sure, she turned that one lady into a spider to teach her to keep that blaspheming braggadocio in check, but that's just nitpicking compared to the type of stuff the rest of the pantheon got up to in those days. Plus we ate some of Athena's Gifts edibles and we're, like, feeling pretty chillax about the whole, y'know, situation.
Shopping at Athena's Gifts
You’ll first visit Athena’s Gifts website for the menu, but you’ll end up staying for the content. Between the enlightening blog posts, educational “Strains 101” section, and a gallery showcasing Athena’s mouth-watering edibles, there’s something here for every cannabis enthusiast. The gift menu is tabulated into four sections; Flower, Carts, Edibles, and Drinks. The individual menus themselves possess no frills, just a simple list of offerings. The “Gallery” section includes photos of available gifts, while "Strains 101" includes detailed info about the flowers in stock. Athena’s Gifts website instructs customers to reach out to their business line, 202-749-0042, to place an order.
Within minutes of sending my text, a dispatcher responded and provided an updated menu of products, this one spelling out the donation tiers. Athena’s Gifts then required age verification via a selfie with ID (sensitive personal information can be blocked, only DOB is required). At the end of the conversation and after the order is placed, the dispatcher provides you a text invoice, including a small delivery fee. I placed my order and provided my requested delivery time. I received a call from my driver when they were ten minutes away and another call upon arrival. All in all, Athena’s Gifts was timely with their service and I had my gift in hand within 20 minutes of my requested delivery time.
REVIEW: Booty Call Brownie
Presentation: ✔
Athena’s Gifts Booty Call Brownie is a sight to behold. Elevating the traditional “Cookie Brownie” to the next level, the Booty Call is essentially a chocolate-chip cookie encased within a soft brownie crust, topped with Oreo crumble. This is a treat my lustful eyes would be drawn to outside the context of cannabis, yet Athena’s Gifts has artfully bridged both worlds.
Taste: ✔
The Booty Call Brownie is moist, incredibly flavorful, and displays exceptional infusion technique. Behind the brownie’s rich, dense, buttery texture and it’s doughy-sweet chocolate flavor, the taste of cannabis is barely detectable. I’m also happy to report there is no lingering, bitter distillate aftertaste after consuming this brownie either (Athena uses flower for their infusions). This is clearly a product created, trialed and perfected over the course of many batches.
Effect: ✔
The Booty Call Brownie I received came heavily dosed with 500 MG of Platinum Punch flower. Never one to back down from a cannabis-based challenge, we decided to devour the entire brownie in one sitting. Keep in mind, bread/pastry based edibles may take longer to digest and process. However, the wait may be worth your while – infused butter is an efficient vessel for the all-important bioavailability factor. I ate the edible right at 2 PM. By 3 PM, my head was beginning to swim and my body was notably warm, lax and tingly. Over the course of the next few hours, the physical effects continued to build in intensity. By 5 PM I was essentially tied to the couch with my limbs stuck in quicksand and an equally listless mind. The Booty Call Brownie is the perfect companion for lazy weekends or long TV show binges, but the intensity of the high will certainly hinder most attempts at productivity. Dose wisely!
