MK-Ultra, Mary Jane, and the U.S. Government’s Weirdest High There’s government overreach, and then there’s MK-Ultra. In the 1950s and ’60s, the CIA went full sci-fi villain in real life, launching a secret program to study mind control, behavior manipulation, and psychological warfare. Code-named MK-Ultra, it included everything from hypnosis and sensory deprivation to—yes—cannabis. And what did they want from weed? Truth. The CIA, desperate for a way to extract secrets from enemy spies (or maybe just anyone), tested various substances to see if any could act as a “truth serum.” Cannabis was among the earliest tested, thought to possibly lower inhibitions and make subjects more talkative. High Hopes and Higher Paranoia In internal memos now declassified, agents noted that THC “caused a marked loquacity” (translation: people got chatty). But they also recorded increased confusion, paranoia, and disassociation—side effects that aren’t ideal when you’re trying to get clean answers from someone under pressure. “Cannabis sativa… produces a relaxation of inhibitions and a tendency to make indiscreet remarks, but also impairs the capacity for linear thought.”— CIA Technical Report, MK-Ultra files In other words: the CIA gave people weed, and they started giggling, rambling, and freaking out. Who would’ve thought? The Cannabis Files: Just One Leaf in a Very Weird Tree Cannabis was just a footnote in MK-Ultra. The real horror show involved LSD, electroshock therapy, and even dosing people without their consent—including hospital patients, prisoners, and unwitting civilians. By the 1970s, the program was exposed and publicly condemned, but not before creating decades of conspiracy theory fuel. The cannabis experiments didn’t go far. Unlike LSD, which the CIA was obsessed with, THC never lived up to the agency’s spy-thriller fantasies. Turns out, weed’s better for couch lock than confession. From Spies to Strains Today, cannabis is more likely to show up at a music festival or dispensary than a government black site. But this strange chapter in history reminds us that cannabis has long been misunderstood, misused, and definitely underestimated. We’re just glad the plant finally got a second act as a wellness tool instead of a Cold War science experiment. Sources & Further Reading:

Picture this: you’re kicking back, the sweet scent of cherries fills the air, and a wave of euphoria washes over you like a warm Seattle breeze. That’s the magic of Cherry Gorilla Hashish, one of the crown jewels in We Got Gaz’s premium hashish lineup. This isn’t just any hash—it’s a sensory journey crafted from the finest kief of the Cherry Gorilla strain, a hybrid that’s as bold as it is balanced. Ready to dive into the world of this cannabis superstar? Let’s explore its roots, flavors, effects, and why it’s a must-have for any hashish enthusiast. A Star is Born: The Lineage of Cherry Gorilla Cherry Gorilla, sometimes called Cherry Gorilla Glue, is a balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) that brings together two cannabis titans: Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) and Black Cherry Pie. This powerhouse strain was bred by In House Genetics, a renowned name in the cannabis world, right in the heart of Seattle, Washington—a city that’s been a hotbed for innovative cannabis breeding since the early 2000s. The result? A strain that’s as versatile as it is potent, with buds so resinous they practically beg to be turned into hashish. Seattle’s rainy, creative vibe shines through in Cherry Gorilla, making it a fitting tribute to the Pacific Northwest’s cannabis legacy. Why Cherry Gorilla is Hashish Heaven Hashish is all about concentrating the best parts of the cannabis plant, and Cherry Gorilla is a natural fit. Its trichome-rich buds—those tiny, crystal-like structures packed with cannabinoids and terpenes—are a kief-maker’s dream. At We Got Gaz, we carefully collect this kief to craft our Cherry Gorilla Hashish, ensuring every gram is bursting with flavor and potency. The strain’s high resin content, inherited from GG4’s sticky legacy, makes it ideal for hashish production. When processed, the kief retains the strain’s full terpene profile, delivering a smoke that’s as smooth as it is powerful. Whether you’re a seasoned hash head or a curious newbie, Cherry Gorilla Hashish offers an experience that’s both approachable and unforgettable. A Flavor Explosion: What to Expect Open a jar of Cherry Gorilla Hashish, and you’re hit with an aroma that’s like a cherry orchard meets a diesel garage. The flavor profile is a delightful dance of contrasts: This flavor combo is no accident. The terpenes—like myrcene (earthy, relaxing), limonene (citrusy, uplifting), and caryophyllene (spicy, stress-relieving)—work together to create a taste that’s as complex as a fine wine. When smoked or vaped, the hashish delivers a smooth, flavorful hit that lingers on the palate, inviting you to savor every moment. Effects: A Balanced Bliss Ride Cherry Gorilla Hashish is all about balance, offering a high that’s as versatile as your favorite playlist. With THC levels typically ranging from 18% to 22%, it packs a punch that’s potent but not overwhelming, making it suitable for a wide range of users.
