Redecan Purple Churro 3.5 gram Dried Flower - Ontario
I hadn’t smoked Redecan for a couple years at least, if not longer. Back in the early days of legalization, Redecan was one of the early winners, owning the categories of both pre-rolls and gel caps, drawing the attention of Tilray / Aphria. Once Redecan was swallowed up, as is often the case in acquisitions, Redecan faded and floundered as part of the Tilray monster.
On the recommendation of the budtender at my local cannabis shop, they were adamant that Redecan was back and offering new cultivars that actually slap. I take budtenders recommendations seriously and at a value bag price, I wanted to give it a go and see if Redecan had recaptured some magic.

Bag Appeal
The packaging remains the same as always, with a heat seal on the top of the plastic container, but includes a Boost Humidity pack. The bag had 4 medium sized nugs and 2 small popcorn buds. The scent was on point, a very sweet note, with a side of vanilla spice. I was absolutely impressed with how incredibly sticky icky the weed was, It definitely stuck to the paper and rolled up into a nice CANNON! As is proper, I smoked a nice big joint to take in the essence of Purple Churro.
Easy Bake Oven
It is true, I do get baked, pass out and then forget to turn off the oven with fries and a meat pie and a lasagna, until the smoke detector ineviatably goes off. You aren’t a true stoner unless you accidentally pull this move off once a year lol? Or the other move is to order Uber Eats, and then pass out and the Uber Eats delivery person leaves the food at your front door all night. Classic good times…
Purple Churro definitely packs a nice punch. I began to feel the effects immediately after smoking, with an initial nice head buzz and euphoric feeling of loving being alive and enjoying the moment. It was accompanied with a nice mellow body buzz and overall good vibes. It was a good high and I did enjoy the ride. Purple Churro is a looker and she backed it up with the effects.

Redecan Revisited
To officially determine if Redecan is back, I had to test out another strain and see if I could be double impressed.
I scored a 3.5g of the Space Age Cake, which came as one huge NUG in the package. The Space Age Cake smoked fine, but I wasn’t blow away and it was a pretty meh experience. Overall, I think that Redecan is doing a better job and both products were respectable offerings. The jury is still deliberating and lets see if Redecan can keep it up and win me over.
