DaySavers Pre-Rolled Cones Make Rolling Easy

DaySavers Pre-Rolled Cones Make Rolling Easy

If you love a fresh joint but hate rolling one, DaySavers pre-rolled cones are worth a spot in your stash. Each cone comes already shaped and ready to fill, so all you do is grind, pack and twist. There’s no rolling skill needed and no wasted papers when your hands aren’t cooperating. Cones come in refined white, organic hemp and natural brown papers, so you can pick a clean burn or a more earthy, traditional feel. DaySavers also makes blunts, hemp wraps and a Perfect Pack tool that uses a screw design to fill a cone all the way to the filter. That makes the lineup a great pick for beginners and anyone who wants an even joint without the fuss.

DaySavers launched in late 2023 as the consumer brand from Custom Cones USA. That company makes pre-rolled cones for cannabis brands across the country. If you’ve bought a pre-roll at a dispensary, there’s a decent chance the paper came from a cone maker like this one. The team took that production background and turned it toward the people actually doing the smoking. Their goal was to make papers you can trust as much as the flower going inside them. In 2024 the brand also landed in Urban Outfitters stores, which brought tested smokewares to a much wider audience.

Why Tested Rolling Papers Matter

Most people don’t think twice about what their rolling papers are made of. In Missouri, flower sold at a licensed dispensary has to pass lab testing before it reaches the shelf. Rolling papers and wraps don’t fall under those same rules. That means a paper could carry heavy metals or pesticides and nobody would be required to check. When the DaySavers team started testing papers already on the market, they found plenty that failed. Since you burn and inhale the paper right along with your flower, that gap matters.

DaySavers closes that gap by holding its products to the same standards used for regulated cannabis. Every cone, wrap and paper is tested for heavy metals, pesticides and microbials like mold and bacteria. Heavy metals can show up when the plants used to make paper pull them from the soil. Pesticides can carry over from how those plants were grown. Microbials can build up during production or storage if conditions aren’t clean. Testing for all three gives you a clearer picture of what you’re actually smoking. That kind of transparency is still rare for a rolling paper brand.

Spiral Tips, Artisan Tubes and Limited Edition Looks

DaySavers puts real thought into how its cones look, not just how they smoke. The artisan tubes come in unique shapes with spiral tips that look good before you even light up. Some packs come with a decorative cigar band wrapped around the cone for a finished, gift-ready look. The brand also puts out limited edition artist series designs and holiday-themed filters throughout the year. For group sessions, there are party cones and eye-catching shapes like the pan flute. Sister brand Smoke Temple even makes a cross cone that looks more like a piece of art than a joint. Little touches like these make a regular session feel a bit more special.

Why Glass and Ceramic Tips Are Worth Trying

Some of the most popular DaySavers cones come with glass or ceramic filter tips already built in. A tip sits at the mouth end of the joint. It keeps the end from getting soggy, holds the shape steady and stops bits of flower from slipping through. Glass tips are smooth and clear, and the 11mm Fusilli glass tip has a pretty spiral design running through it. Ceramic tips use DaySavers’ Ceramicool design, which is made to help cool the smoke before it reaches you. Wood tips are another option, with natural, vanilla and sugar flavors that add a light sweetness to each pull. When you’re done, a glass or ceramic tip can usually be rinsed and saved, which makes it a nice upgrade over paper.

Cones for a Cause

DaySavers also uses its products to give back. Its Cones for a Cause line features themed tips tied to charitable giving. Cones with a rainbow flag tip send 10% of proceeds to LGBTQ charities. Cones with an American flag tip support veterans. The brand also works with 40 Tons, a group focused on cannabis social justice. Together they’ve run letter writing campaigns for people still incarcerated for cannabis offenses. It’s a simple way to make an everyday purchase count for something bigger.

Find DaySavers at NatureMed

At NatureMed, we want every part of your session to be something you feel good about, from the flower to the paper around it. That’s why we’re glad to carry DaySavers next to the brands you already know. Stop by any of our Missouri locations and ask a budtender which DaySavers products are on the shelf right now.

Fall Cannabis Essentials for the First Day of Fall

Post date September 21, 2026

Fall Cannabis Essentials for the First Day of Fall

Fall officially starts on Tuesday, September 22. The equinox lands at 7:05 p.m. Central time, the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator heading south. After that, the nights start running longer than the days. That shift changes how most of us spend our free time. Backyard fires come back and weekends fill up with pumpkin patches and trail walks. This guide to fall cannabis essentials pairs each of those moments with picks from our shelves at NatureMed.

Missouri doesn’t change color all at once. Sassafras, sumac, and Virginia creeper start turning in mid-September, followed by black gum, bittersweet, and dogwood in late September. Color starts in northern Missouri and moves south, with maples, ashes, oaks, and hickories usually peaking around mid-October. By late October, the colors fade and leaves start to drop. That gives you most of the season to plan outings around. It also means your stash has to last through changing weather, which we cover further down.

Pick your fall mood

Bonfire night

Bonfire night is about friends, a fire pit, and something good to pass around. Proper’s 1g Marshmallowz preroll leads this lineup, and the name fits right next to a tray of s’mores fixings. Marshmallowz is a hybrid, which makes it an easy middle ground for a group with mixed tastes. Plume’s Blueberry Cream infused preroll comes in a half gram size. Infused means concentrate has been added to the flower, so it’s stronger than a standard preroll and a little goes a long way. Bring a torch lighter too, since a regular lighter struggles once the evening wind picks up. Keep the fire and the session in your own backyard or on private property where it’s allowed.

Pumpkin Patch

A day at the pumpkin patch means hay rides, cider, and a trunk full of gourds. The flavors of the season can carry right into your evening at home. Notorious Black Maple has a name that belongs next to pumpkin bread and maple candy. Rooted’s Apples and Bananas Mints preroll adds an orchard feel to the lineup. If you like to roll your own, Blazy Susan king size slim rice papers are thin and burn slow and even. Rolling a few at the kitchen table with friends is a fun way to close out a busy fall Saturday.

Sunset hike

Missouri trails look their best when the light turns gold and the leaves start to change. Plan on enjoying your picks once you’re home, though. Cannabis use is still against the law in parks and on sidewalks in Missouri. This lineup leans citrus, starting with Amaze Orange 3.5g flower. The Bambino 2g infused blunt in Orange Cream keeps the theme going. Dixie Peak Tangerine gummies round it out for anyone who would rather skip smoking. Edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in, so start with a low dose and wait at least 2 hours before having more.

Fall Care for Your Stash

Cooler nights mean the heat comes on, and dry indoor air is hard on flower. Cannabis should be stored between 55 and 65 percent relative humidity. Too much moisture raises the risk of mold, and air that’s too dry breaks down trichomes and lets terpenes evaporate. Terpenes are the natural compounds that give each strain its smell and flavor. So a jar left near a heat vent can lose that Black Maple or Amaze Orange flavor before you finish it. An airtight glass jar with a humidity pack is the simplest fix. Keep it in a cool, dark cabinet away from windows, since UV light breaks down terpenes faster than any other storage factor.

The rest of your fall care is about keeping things safe and legal. Missouri law bans public consumption, and smoking in a public place can bring a civil fine of up to $100. Driving after consuming is also against the law, so plan a ride if you’re heading to a friend’s fire. With Halloween candy showing up in every house next month, store gummies in their child-resistant packaging and well out of reach. Keeping cannabis secured matters, since calls to poison control for kids and pets eating edibles have gone up where edibles are legal. A locking box on a high shelf is a small step that saves a lot of worry.

Celebrate the First Day of Fall at NatureMed

Every part of this guide comes back to one thing. Fall is better when you plan for the moments you look forward to most. Stop by any of our Missouri locations and our team can help you build a lineup for bonfire night, pumpkin patch day, or your next sunset hike. You can also save during Happy Hour, Tuesday through Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m., with 20% off Franklin’s, Buoyant Bob 3.5g for $20, Kushy Punch Connect 0.5g live resin disposables at 2 for $120, and Amaze 3.5g flower jars at 2 for $70. Happy Hour wraps up just before the equinox on Tuesday, so it’s a good excuse to welcome fall with us. Browse our daily deals to see what’s on sale at your store, then find your nearest NatureMed and shop the menu to order ahead. Gladstone and O’Fallon customers can also get delivery within 10 miles of the store. Must be 21+ with valid ID. Please consume responsibly.

What Makes NF1 One of Missouri’s Most Talked About Flower Strains

Post author By Angel Mills
Post date September 17, 2026

What Makes NF1 One of Missouri's Most Talked About Flower Strains

NF1 is one of those strains that gets talked about more in dispensary lines than in marketing copy, and there’s a reason for that. This indica leaning hybrid comes from a cross of Northern Lights and Chemdawg, two of the most respected names in cannabis breeding, and Amaze is now bringing a 3.5g flower version of it into NatureMed. If you’ve smoked either parent strain before, NF1 gives you a sense of both without leaning too hard into either one. It’s dense, resinous, and built for people who already know what they like in a nightly smoke.

Northern Lights carries a reputation as one of the most influential indicas ever bred, tracing back to Afghani and Thai landrace genetics. Chemdawg brings the chemical, fuel forward edge that a lot of diesel leaning strains borrow from today. When you cross the two, you get a plant that keeps Northern Lights’ heavy body relaxation but picks up some of Chemdawg’s sharper, louder smell. That combination is part of why NF1 has built a loyal following even though it’s not a strain you’ll see plastered across billboards. It’s more of a word of mouth pickup, the kind of flower regular customers ask about by name once they’ve tried it.

What NF1 Actually Smells and Tastes Like

The smell is the first thing people notice, and it’s not subtle. NF1 carries a loud mix of chem fuel, lemon, and skunky diesel notes with a peppery edge underneath. That peppery quality comes largely from caryophyllene, a terpene also found in black pepper and cloves, and it’s one of the main terpenes inherited from the Northern Lights side of the lineage along with myrcene, which contributes the earthy, musky base note under all that fuel. Myrcene is also linked to the heavier, more sedating body feel that shows up once the high settles in, which lines up with how people commonly describe NF1 after the first ten to fifteen minutes.

Flavor wise, NF1 tends to taste a bit softer than it smells, more citrus and sour diesel on the exhale than the intensity of the smell alone would suggest. That gap between how loud something smells and how it actually tastes is common in Chemdawg leaning genetics, since a lot of that pungency comes from volatile aromatic compounds that don’t always translate one to one into flavor. If you’re used to a fuel forward strain smelling stronger than it tastes, NF1 will feel familiar in that regard, and it’s part of what makes it easy to smoke through a full bowl or joint without the flavor getting overwhelming.

What to Expect Effect Wise

NF1 is known for a slow build rather than an immediate hit. The high tends to creep in gradually, which is part of why people describe it as sneaking up on them if they’re not paying attention to dosage. Once it does settle in, the effects run heavy on the body side, with a relaxed, sometimes couch locked feeling paired with a calm, happy headspace. It’s not usually described as a strain for getting things done, this is more of an end of day or weekend wind down flower, especially in a 3.5g format that’s meant to last through a few sessions rather than get burned through in one sitting.

Because of that heavier body profile, NF1 is worth pacing yourself with, especially if you’re newer to indica dominant hybrids or haven’t tried a Northern Lights or Chemdawg cross before. Going slower with a strain like this isn’t a knock on it, it’s just the nature of a flower that’s built around deep relaxation rather than a light, functional buzz. Waiting between hits to see how it’s actually sitting with you is a better approach than judging the strain off the first few minutes, since the creeper effect means the real picture doesn’t show up right away.

Why Amaze’s Growing Process Matters Here

Amaze grows its flower in living soil at a sealed facility in Moberly, Missouri, and stays away from synthetic pesticides across its cultivation process. Living soil growing works with the natural microbial activity in the soil itself rather than relying on bottled nutrients to force growth, and that approach tends to show up in the finished flower as a fuller terpene expression. For a strain like NF1, where the smell and flavor complexity is a big part of the appeal, that cultivation style is part of why the batch coming through NatureMed carries the kind of loud, layered aroma the strain is known for rather than a flatter, less distinct version of it.

Each batch also goes through hand inspection before it reaches the shelf, which matters more with dense, resin heavy indica flower like NF1 since improper drying or curing can flatten both the smell and the smoke quality fast. A well cured NF1 should have a tacky, sticky texture without feeling wet, and the bud structure should hold together instead of turning to dust when broken apart. If you’re picking up this 3.5g and comparing it to other indica leaning flower you’ve had, those texture details are a good way to judge whether a batch was handled right from harvest to jar.

If you want to see how NF1 holds up against a Friday night in, this is a strain worth adding to the rotation, especially if heavier Northern Lights and Chemdawg crosses have worked for you before. NatureMed carries the Amaze 3.5g flower alongside a rotating lineup of other indica, sativa, and hybrid options, so it’s worth checking daily deals before you head in, since flower pricing shifts often.

September Strain of the Month: Apple Tartz

Post author By Angel Mills
Post date September 4, 2026

September Strain of the Month: Apple Tartz

Fall doesn’t officially start until the equinox, but the shift shows up early in Missouri. Cooler mornings, shorter daylight, and that unmistakable pull toward anything that tastes like an orchard. This year NatureMed’s September strain of the month leans directly into that craving. Apple Tartz is a hybrid strain built on a genuine sour apple and pastry flavor, and it’s stocked at every one of our five Missouri locations right now, from Kansas City to St. Louis.

Apple Tartz comes from a cross of Runtz and Apple Fritter, two parent strains that each bring something specific to the final result. Runtz contributes its sugary, candy-forward sweetness and a dense trichome coat that gives the buds their frosted look. Apple Fritter is one of the most recognizable apple-flavored strains in cannabis. It’s known for a rich, dessert-like profile that genuinely reads as tart green apple with a baked, pastry-adjacent finish. When those two genetics combine, the result is a strain that tastes closer to an actual apple tart than most fruit-named flower ever manages to pull off.

Why Apple Tartz Tastes Like Fall

That apple flavor comes down to terpenes, the aromatic compounds in cannabis responsible for how a strain smells and tastes, and that also shape how the effects feel. Apple Tartz carries a terpene profile led by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. Caryophyllene is the same compound found in black pepper, and it adds a warm, slightly spicy undertone that shows up as that cinnamon-adjacent note underneath the fruit. Limonene brings the bright, citrus-leaning sharpness that makes the apple taste crisp instead of flat. Myrcene rounds things out with an earthy, almost tropical base that keeps the whole profile from tipping too sweet.

This exact terpene combination is why apple strains tend to cluster on dispensary menus around this time of year, not just at NatureMed. Cooler fall weather actually helps preserve terpenes during curing, since heat speeds up the breakdown of the same aromatic compounds that create flavor. Flower harvested and cured heading into fall often holds onto a sharper, more distinct terpene profile than flower cured during a hot summer stretch. That’s part of why apple and pie-adjacent strains taste especially true to their name this time of year.

What to Expect From Apple Tartz

Apple Tartz sits on the sativa-leaning side of hybrid, which shows up in how the effects actually feel. The high comes on with a clear, uplifted mood rather than a heavy or foggy one, and a lot of people notice colors and music feel a little sharper within the first several minutes. That mental lift stays clear rather than scattered. It’s a strain people reach for during creative projects or conversations, or anything that benefits from a little extra focus instead of a full slowdown. Physically, the effects lean relaxing without being sedating, easing tension in the shoulders or jaw without pulling you toward the couch for the rest of the day.

That balance is what makes Apple Tartz work as a fall pick specifically. Late summer and early fall in Missouri often mean outdoor plans that are still on the table. Football weekends, farmers markets, and patio hangs before the weather turns all call for a strain that keeps you sharp and social rather than one built purely for winding down at the end of the night. It holds its own during the day and still feels right easing into an evening.

Find Apple Tartz at NatureMed This September

Apple Tartz is in stock across all five NatureMed locations throughout September, so there’s no need to track down which store happens to have it. Whether you’re closest to Kansas City, Gladstone, Independence, St. Louis, or O’Fallon, you can check availability and grab it on your next visit. Stop by to pick up a jar, ask your budtender about it if you want a closer look at the terpene profile before you buy, or check out our daily deals for ways to pair it with a discount before you check out.

National Dog Day: Cannabis and Pets Safety, Plus CBD for Your Dog

Post author By Angel Mills

National Dog Day: Cannabis and Pets Safety, Plus CBD for Your Dog

National Dog Day lands on August 26, and if you’re a cannabis consumer with a dog in the house, it’s a good excuse to think about cannabis and pets safety, both the risks worth avoiding and the wellness products worth exploring. Dogs are curious by nature and their noses lead them straight to anything that smells interesting, which unfortunately includes flower, edibles, and concentrates. At the same time, more pet owners are turning to CBD specifically formulated for dogs to help with everyday stress, mobility, and comfort. Knowing the difference between what belongs in your stash and what belongs in your dog’s bowl is the whole point of this post.

Dogs process THC very differently than humans do, and their smaller body size means it takes a lot less to cause a problem. According to the ASPCA, THC exposure can make pets appear dazed, disoriented, and confused, and they can have difficulty walking and maintaining their balance. Other common signs include a slowed heart rate, low body temperature, and urinary incontinence, and while urinary incontinence isn’t a symptom of most household toxins, it’s actually a helpful clue that points specifically to marijuana exposure. Edibles carry extra risk because dogs will happily eat an entire package of gummies or a pan of infused brownies without any of the self control a person would exercise, and many edibles also contain chocolate or xylitol, which have more serious health effects for pets than the THC itself.

What Responsible Storage Actually Looks Like

Responsible cannabis storage isn’t complicated, but it does take a little intention. Keep flower, edibles, and concentrates in a container that seals well and store it somewhere your dog physically cannot reach, a high shelf, a locked drawer, or a dedicated storage box works well. Treat cannabis edibles the same way you’d treat any other medication or chocolate in the house, out of paw’s reach and never left out on a counter or coffee table where a curious nose can find it during a moment you stepped away.

It’s also worth thinking about where you consume, not just where you store. If you’re smoking or vaping, secondhand exposure can affect pets too, especially in a smaller room with poor airflow. Cracking a window or stepping outside keeps the air clearer for everyone in the house, four legged or otherwise. And if you’re hosting people who consume cannabis, it helps to give guests a quick heads up about where things need to stay so nothing ends up on a low table within tail-wagging distance.

CBD for Dogs Is Not the Same as THC

This is where it’s worth drawing a clear line. THC is the compound that causes the toxic reaction described above, but CBD is a different story entirely. CBD does not get pets high and is widely used by pet owners looking for natural support around stress, restlessness, and mobility, especially in older dogs. We carry two dedicated pet CBD lines in store, Vlasic and VetCBD, and both are formulated specifically for animals rather than repurposed from human products, which matters when it comes to dosing and ingredients your dog can actually process safely. Vlasic’s pet lineup includes CBD dog chews in a few different flavors along with an organic CBD peanut butter for pickier eaters or dogs who need something easier to work with than a treat, while VetCBD was developed by a veterinarian and offers full spectrum tinctures alongside calming and mobility focused formulas.

If you’re considering CBD for your dog for the first time, our budtenders are glad to walk you through what’s in stock and how each product is typically used, but for anything involving dosing, especially if your dog has an existing health condition or takes other medication, a quick conversation with your vet first is always the smart move. Every pet responds a little differently, and starting low and watching how your dog does is generally the right approach with any new wellness product.

If You Think Your Dog Got Into Something

If your dog does get into cannabis, staying calm helps more than panicking. Try to figure out roughly what and how much they may have consumed, since that information helps a vet assess the situation faster. It’s worth calling the professionals directly rather than guessing. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can be reached at (888) 426-4435. The Pet Poison Helpline is another 24/7 option at (855) 764-7661. Both charge a consultation fee, but it’s a small price for expert guidance that can save an unnecessary emergency vet trip, or catch a serious case before it gets worse.

None of this is meant to make anyone afraid to keep cannabis in a house with a dog. Millions of pet owners do it safely every day, and keeping cannabis and pets safety in mind is really just an extension of the same common sense you’d use with any other product that isn’t meant for animals, paired with genuinely useful wellness options built for them instead. A sealed container, a spot your dog can’t reach, a couple of phone numbers saved in your contacts, and a CBD product actually made for pets covers most of what a responsible cannabis household needs.

National Dog Day is as good a reason as any to give your storage setup a quick check, save those poison control numbers, and swing by to see what Vlasic and VetCBD have in stock for your pup this week. While you’re at it, take a look at what’s on sale, our daily deals change often and it’s a good time to stock up. And if you’re due for a restock or just want to see what’s in, browse our full online menu and locations to find the NatureMed nearest you. Give your dog an extra treat today, they deserve it.

Say Hello to Batch by Bud & Mary’s, Now at NatureMed

Post author By Angel Mills
Post date July 23, 2026

Say Hello to Batch by Bud & Mary's, Now at NatureMed

There is a new name on the shelf, and it comes with one of the more interesting backstories in cannabis. NatureMed is now carrying Batch by Bud & Mary’s, a science-driven brand that has spent nearly a decade building a reputation across Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, and now Missouri. We are starting with the two products Batch is best known for: 2g all-in-one disposables and 2g 510 cartridges, available in ten strain-specific options between them.

The Story Behind the Name

Bud and Mary are real people. Bud and Mary Nelson were Iowa entrepreneurs who founded Kemin Industries in 1961 out of a vacant wool barn outside Des Moines with $10,000 in savings. Their first product was a silage preservative that helped farmers protect their crops. Bud mixed ingredients using a Maytag washer, and Mary ran operations from the kitchen table, balancing the books while raising five children. That business grew into a global plant science company serving customers in more than 120 countries.

From Plant Science to Cannabis

Their son, Dr. Chris Nelson, grew up with that same curiosity about what plants could do. In 2016 he founded MedPharm Holdings in Colorado, and the following year secured one of the first licenses in Iowa’s brand new medical cannabis program. The BATCH Signature vape line debuted in Colorado in mid-2018, and that December, MedPharm Iowa became the first operator to legally sell medical cannabis in the state. In 2022 the company unified under a single name, Bud & Mary’s, as a tribute to the parents whose values started it all.

Standards You Can Actually Verify

This is where Bud & Mary’s separates itself from a lot of the field. The company controls or directly partners on cultivation, manufacturing, formulation, packaging, and retail, which means fewer unknowns between the plant and the cart in your hand. Their production process meets cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) and GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices) requirements, and they were the first pharmaceutical-grade cannabis company in the United States to earn a cGMP and cGACP certification. They also hold a Colorado Cannabis Research License, a first in the country, with an in-house research team supporting their formulation work.

The 2g All-In-One Disposables

The all-in-one format is ready straight out of the box, no battery or charger required. On the Flavors side, Dazzleberry leads with a show-stopping balance of sweet blueberry and tart raspberry, while Lemon Drop brings bright citrus with a smooth vanilla finish. The Signature line goes strain-forward: Purple Urkle is skunky on the nose and tastes like grapes and sweet berries, Skywalker 600 layers sweet fruity berry over spicy earth on the exhale, and Durban Poison delivers the earthy, subtly sweet pine profile that has made it a daytime classic for decades.

The 2g 510 Cartridges

If you already have a battery you love, the 2g cartridges are the easy pick. Juicy Melons is a refreshing melon blend that balances sweet and floral, and Shwazzberry keeps it simple with a harmonious mix of sweet berries. On the Signature side, Lemon Cookies layers bright lemon zest over sugary cookie dough with a soft vanilla finish. Tahoe OG is the bold one, mixing gas and banana custard with fruit salad and a cool spearmint edge. And Jack Herer rounds it out with sweet and sour citrus up front and a woody pine exhale.

What Is Coming Next

Batch runs an ongoing campaign called Aware-n-Us, launching a limited edition flavor each year tied to a cause. In 2025 they released Strawmelon in partnership with CanPlay to help fund all-inclusive accessible playgrounds in underserved communities. Coming in August 2026 is Lolli Pawp, a sweet cherry flavor supporting nonprofit animal rescue groups. Bud & Mary’s also has a five-pack of kief infused pre-rolls in the works, so this first drop is very likely not the last thing you will see from them on our shelves.

Come Find Your Batch This Week

A family legacy in plant science, certifications almost nobody else in cannabis holds, and ten strains built for people who actually care what their vape tastes like. Batch by Bud & Mary’s is in stock now at our Kansas City, Gladstone, Independence, St. Louis, and O’Fallon locations, and our budtenders are ready to help you pick your first one. Check the daily deals to see what is discounted at your store today, then browse the online menu and order ahead for pickup or delivery.

Your World Cup Quarter Final Watch Party Guide from NatureMed

Your World Cup Quarterfinal Watch Party Guide from NatureMed

The 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals are here, and this weekend is stacked. We’ve got four massive matchups running Thursday through Sunday, including a showdown right here in Kansas City on Sunday night. Whether you’re hosting a full watch party, keeping it low-key on the couch, or linking up with the crew for the big KC game, NatureMed has you covered with products built for exactly this kind of energy.

Thursday, July 9 – France vs. Morocco (3pm CT)

Kick off the quarterfinals with something that matches the energy. France vs. Morocco is a loaded matchup with serious storylines on both sides, and you want a product that keeps the vibe high from the first whistle. The Super Fog Vape in Fire — Maui Pineapple is the call here. Maui Pineapple brings a tropical, pineapple-forward flavor profile backed by myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene, a combination that tends to deliver clear-headed euphoria and a sociable, uplifted mood without dragging you down. It hits fast, stays smooth, and is easy to manage through 90-plus minutes of high-stakes football. The Fire vape format makes it even easier: no setup, no mess, just grab and go.

Friday, July 10 – Spain vs. Belgium (2pm CT)

Spain vs. Belgium is a technically beautiful game that rewards full attention, and it’s also a great excuse to pass something around the room. The Jeeter 5-Pack in High Tide was made for exactly this kind of group watch session. High Tide is a sativa-leaning strain with citrus and tropical fruit notes known for a bright, euphoric lift that keeps you social and talkative without pulling you out of the moment. A five-pack means everyone’s covered, and pre-rolls are the easiest group format there is. Light one up at kickoff and let the conversation flow.

Saturday, July 11 – Norway vs. England (4pm CT)

Haaland vs. Kane is the striker showdown of the tournament, and Saturday afternoon energy calls for something with a little more depth. The Bambino Blunt in Sugar Cookie fits perfectly here. Sugar Cookie is a balanced hybrid with a sweet vanilla and buttery flavor profile driven by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. It opens with a gentle mood lift before easing into full-body relaxation without putting you to sleep, which is exactly where you want to be for a game that could easily run to extra time. The Bambino is a compact, slow-burning blunt that’s satisfying without overdoing it the night before Sunday’s KC game.

FECO 101: A Guide to Full Extract Cannabis Oil

FECO 101: A Guide to Full Extract Cannabis Oil

If you have spent any time browsing the menu lately, you have probably seen FECO pop up and wondered what makes it different from everything else on the shelf. FECO stands for Full Extract Cannabis Oil, and it is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of isolating specific compounds, FECO captures the entire plant, cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and all the other goodness, into one concentrated product. It is one of the most potent and traditional forms of cannabis extract you can find, and it has earned a loyal following among folks who want the full plant experience in a small package.

What Makes FECO Different

The biggest thing that sets FECO apart is the extraction process itself. Because it pulls from the whole plant rather than refining out individual cannabinoids, FECO tends to have a broader, more complex profile. You get a thick, dark, often syrupy oil that smells and tastes like cannabis because, well, that is exactly what it is. There is no fancy flavoring or dilution here. This is about as close to raw plant material as you can get in concentrate form, which is part of why it has such a dedicated fan base.

Ways to Take FECO

FECO is pretty versatile when it comes to consumption. The most traditional method is taking it orally, often measured out in small amounts using a syringe and placed directly under the tongue or swallowed. Some people prefer to mix it into food or drinks to mask the strong flavor. Others incorporate it into their own homemade edibles or capsules. You will also find FECO available in pre-measured capsule form, which takes the guesswork out of dosing and makes it a lot easier to keep things consistent from one use to the next.

Water Soluble Capsules Are Worth Knowing About

If you are looking at capsule options, it is worth understanding the difference between standard oil based capsules and water soluble ones. Water soluble capsules are formulated so your body can absorb them more efficiently, which generally means they kick in faster than a traditional oil capsule. Standard FECO already has a reputation for hitting hard, but water soluble versions can ramp up even quicker because of how the formulation interacts with your system. That faster onset is a big reason some people specifically seek these out, especially if they are looking for a more predictable timeline.

Who FECO Is For

FECO tends to appeal most to experienced cannabis users who already have a good sense of their own tolerance. Because it is so concentrated, it is generally not the best starting point if you are new to cannabis products. It is also a great option for anyone who wants the full spectrum experience rather than an isolated compound. If you have tried other concentrates and felt like something was missing, FECO might be the more complete option you have been looking for.

When to Use It

Timing matters with FECO. Because of how strong it is, this is usually a product people reach for when they have a clear stretch of time ahead, like an evening at home or a relaxed weekend with nothing on the schedule. It is not really a grab and go kind of product. Giving yourself plenty of time to see how it affects you, especially the first few times, is just smart practice with something this concentrated.

How to Use It

Whichever method you choose, the golden rule with FECO is the same one budtenders repeat for a reason: start low and go slow. Begin with a small amount, whether that is a tiny portion of oil or a single capsule, and give it time to settle in before deciding whether you need more. Onset time can vary quite a bit depending on the method, so patience really does pay off here. Keeping a simple log of what you tried and how it felt can also help you fine tune your approach over time.

Find FECO at NatureMed

FECO is a unique option for anyone wanting the full plant experience in a concentrated form, and between traditional oil and water soluble capsules, there is a method that fits most preferences. Curious to try it for yourself?

Cannabis Delivery vs. Dispensary Pickup: What’s Right for Missouri Patients?

Cannabis Delivery vs. Dispensary Pickup: What's Right for Missouri Patients?

Missouri’s medical and recreational cannabis market has grown fast, and with that growth has come more options for how patients and customers actually get their product. Two of the most common methods are home delivery and in-store pickup, and while both get cannabis into your hands, the experience, timing, and convenience factors are pretty different. Understanding both options can help you make the smarter choice for your routine, your schedule, and your needs as a Missouri cannabis consumer.

The Case for Cannabis Delivery

Cannabis delivery is exactly what it sounds like: your order comes to you. For patients dealing with mobility issues, chronic pain, or conditions that make leaving the house difficult, delivery is not just convenient, it can be genuinely essential. Missouri law allows licensed dispensaries to offer delivery services to qualifying customers, and NatureMed offers delivery through our Gladstone and O’Fallon locations to serve customers across the KC area and beyond. You shop online or call in your order, place it, and wait for it to arrive without ever having to get in a car. For patients who rely on cannabis as part of their medical treatment, this kind of accessibility matters.

Free Delivery from Our Gladstone Location

NatureMed’s Gladstone location offers free delivery on orders of $150 or more, calculated before tax and after any discounts are applied, to addresses within 10 miles of the store. If your order does not meet the $150 threshold, delivery is still available, just not free. Our O’Fallon location also offers delivery service to its surrounding area, though the free delivery promotion is specific to Gladstone. Whether you’re in the KC metro or out in O’Fallon, getting cannabis delivered to your door is a real, reliable option. You can check availability, coverage areas, and more details on our delivery page.

What to Know Before You Order Delivery

If you’re going to place a delivery order, there are a few things to have squared away before your driver shows up. Orders can be placed online through our menu or over the phone with your location’s team. Once your order is on its way, your driver will call ahead to confirm details, so make sure the phone number on your order is accurate and that you’re available to pick up. When your order arrives, you will need a valid government-issued ID to receive it, no exceptions, so have that ready at the door. For payment, drivers accept exact cash, debit card, or Dutchie Pay by Bank. If you want to skip the cash entirely and pay digitally, you can sign up for Dutchie Pay by Bank here before your order is placed to make the whole transaction smoother.

The Case for In-Store Pickup

Dispensary pickup has its own clear advantages. When you walk into a NatureMed location, you get face-to-face time with knowledgeable budtenders who can walk you through products, answer questions, and help you find something new that fits your needs. That hands-on guidance is hard to replicate online. Pickup also means you get your order same-day, often within minutes of placing it, and you can browse in-person before committing. For new patients especially, the in-store experience tends to build confidence and familiarity with the product landscape faster than shopping digitally.

Timing, Privacy, and Picking What Works for You

One of the biggest practical differences between delivery and pickup comes down to timing. Delivery works best when you plan ahead since windows vary by location, order volume, and distance. In-store pickup is typically the faster same-day option, especially when you order ahead through our online menu. On the privacy side, delivery keeps your purchase entirely at home, which some patients strongly prefer, while the in-store experience offers a professional, regulated environment with direct access to staff. Neither option is wrong. It really comes down to your schedule, your situation, and how you like to shop. The good news is you do not have to commit to one or the other, you can mix and match based on what your week looks like.

Shop NatureMed Your Way

Whether you’re ready to place a delivery order or you want to browse before you buy, NatureMed makes both options easy across our Missouri locations. Check out our daily deals to see what’s running right now, and head to our online menu to start your delivery order or find your nearest store for pickup. Missouri patients deserve access that fits their life, and we’re here to make that happen however works best for you.
