Royal Cookies Shatter Nug Run

Available at Citadel Alternative Care in Sacramento.

Sacramento’s Citadel Alternative Care has a special treat for extract-lovers who want to go high-end: Royal Cookies Shatter Nug Run. The professional shatter starts with a highly resinous phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies called Royal Cookies. But instead of extracting the leaf and trim—which is of less value—the hash-makers used the prized flower buds themselves. So-called “nug runs” result in more flavorful, potent shatter, some say, and this Royal Cookies Shatter Nug Run certainly looks regal. It has a very thin, resiny smell and really gorgeous clear, amber hue. The shatter is pliant at room temperature, more like a pull and snap shatter than a true shatter. It vapes like a true king, leaving no residue behind and creating maximum-potency indica-hybrid vapor that can treat pain and inflammation.
