A vault and a desert
Put the two packs side by side and the Presidential Cannabis League looks like two different movies. Head Cheese stages its lone Blunt like a vault, with a wedge of golden cheese melting under a full moon, gold diamonds falling through teal clouds and a chandelier lighting the pack.
Cap Junky goes outside after dark. A silver-green saguaro and spiky agave stand behind the pack, teal gemstones glint through storm clouds and a glossy black ribbon of liquid runs through the middle. Its Pre-Roll gets CAP JUNKY spelled out in giant green letters at its feet.
The art is doing a job. A look at the illustrated panels on Michigan blunt packs explains that big artwork, a black field, series color and the crest let a shopper pick out Cap Junky or any other blunt by its own name.
What's inside
Cap Junky is a Gold Strain Series team made with TRENDI, powered by Planet 13, and it plays in classic packaging. Its 1.5g Moon Rock Blunt and 1g Moon Rock Pre-Roll both carry flower infused with liquid live resin and finished with diamonds, marked Hybrid, with a gassy profile of citrus zest and pine.
Head Cheese, the Polaris Cannabis collaboration, keeps its whole roster in one classic 1.5g Moon Rock Blunt. Polaris flower meets live resin and diamonds, the pack is marked Hybrid and the reported aroma is pungent cheese with lemon and spice.
Both Blunts roll in tobacco-free hemp. A guide to how a hemp-wrapped infused blunt is built treats that label as a statement about the wrapper's ingredients, the piece of a blunt that carries more of its identity than paper does on a pre-roll.
