DOJA’s 91k Pre-Rolls

These masterfully pre-rolled 0.5g joints are indica-dominant, perfect for that 45 minute float down the lazy river. 

2. Grand River 

Tubing, but make it turbo. Enjoy all that and more on the Grand River! What makes turbo tubing different is that you’ll be riding a cross between a kayak and an inner tube. You can enjoy it by paddling or just floating casually.
