One of the many perks of being editors here at FNM is that we regularly receive samples. Samples, you say? Yes, LOTS of them. From candles, to prerolls, edibles, and flower, these samples provide us with first-hand knowledge of the latest products on the market, and by staying on top of the trends, we can share the scoop with our readers.
By receiving samples in a myriad of ways, we possess a lens into the product landscape, and as a publication, we are the voices here to spread the word!
But as you know, we at FNM are pretty discerning when it comes to what we smoke and what we support. So, for this 420 guide, we welcome you to the first of our Editor’s Sample Hotbox. An on-going series where we’ll gush about our favorite inhalable, edible and accessory products!
Loving Yourself Is As Easy As 1 2 3
Written By Casey Renteria
I have always reserved edibles for pain management. Well, I used to until recently; Having food allergies makes finding edibles I can eat almost impossible. This is why I was thrilled when I found Love You Three – discovering it was women-owned and operated was a bonus! After learning more about the brand, I was curious to see if these edibles would do more for me than just manage my pain.

Herban Bud: Product Review By Varsha Hyland
Review Written by Varsha Hyland
When the editors at Fat Nugs Magazine asked for a review of Herban Bud’s products, I was intrigued. I’ve tried THC and CBD, but this review was my first foray into hydrogenated and derivative cannabinoid products.
The products I received from Herban Bud included THCa flower and concentrate, as well as a disposable vape containing an oil blend consisting of an HHC base. The “Euphoria” vape contained THCp, followed by some THC-O, just enough THCjd, and "a dash of Delta-8."
Having only used CBD flower or oils as an alternative to THC when I was worried about getting drug tested for work, the Herban Bud haul was my first time experiencing a high from these alternative cannabinoids.
I Reached a New Level With Wyatt Purp
Written By Scarlet Weaver
When I saw the little square box from Wyatt Purp on my table, I may or may not have turned into a hyped-up toddler. I’m sure I was the most annoying person in the room, but hey, cannabis gets me excited. It might as well have been Christmas for me because the anticipation I had was unbearable. Alas, I am a grown adult, not a toddler, and I was ready for the sweet embrace of my old, familiar love. After my recent tolerance break, this package was much needed.
I’ll admit, at first sight I was extremely skeptical about how well any of these products would work. Coming from Alaska where cannabis is a way of life, I had never encountered hemp-derived D9. I know at times hemp gets a bad rap, but I was intrigued to say the least. Would this experience be the same as what I was used to? I am grateful to say that Wyatt Purp has left a great impression on me.
