The jar
This is a gram of air-dried Vintage Z hash. West Coast Alchemy made the hash, and Farming Stoned grew the flower it was washed from. The lid carries West Coast Alchemy’s rainbow logo; the label around the jar has the strain name on one side and the Farming Stoned logo on the other.
It came from Verified Wave, the delivery service I also used for the Southern Press Gary Payton: $125 for the gram, tax included. It’s a 90–110u collection, which tells you which part of the wash went into the jar, not how good the jar is (how to read hash grades).
Classic air-dried, super volatile
This is classic air-dried hash, and it’s super volatile. It was challenging to even get a flag from it, and the jar greased up in the fridge.
Two days after the first photos, the whole jar had greased over. Over its whole life it had been out of the fridge for maybe 15 to 20 minutes. Compare the sandy heads in the main photo with the last photo in the strip.
Insane Z terps
None of that stopped it smoking incredible. The Z terps are insane, the strongest I’ve ever had, and it’s insanely clean.
A Saturday-morning jar
The effects aren’t OG-level. But it’s a great way to kick off a Saturday morning, bona fide.
Next to the other air-dried gram
The closest jar on this site is the PUA Chem D, also an air-dried gram. The Chem D was remarkably stable at room temperature and only greased up over time; this one greased up in the fridge. The Chem D also put me on the couch. The Vintage Z is the lighter, Saturday-morning high.
At $125 it’s the most I’ve paid for a gram on this site, though that figure includes tax and the Chem D’s $90 didn’t record it.
Would I buy it again? Yes.
A little more context
“Z” is shorthand for the strain the Mendocino County brand Terphogz made famous as Zkittlez. In July 2023, after a trademark fight with Wrigley, the Skittles maker, Terphogz said it would keep selling the cultivar as “The Original Z.” [VZ01] That’s one reason so many jars now just say Z.
I didn’t find anything that explains the “Vintage” in Vintage Z or ties this jar to a particular cut, and I didn’t find outside coverage of West Coast Alchemy or Farming Stoned. The volatility, the terps and the Saturday morning above are mine.
One jar from one batch. Effects are personal and potency wasn’t tested. The $125 includes tax, but the tax amount and purchase date weren’t recorded; the photos are from October 24 and 26, 2026.
Sources & review notes
The main review comes from my own notes and photographs. Outside descriptions stay in the separately labeled section above; they aren’t additional tasting notes from me.

Background on the Z name; doesn’t mention Vintage Z, West Coast Alchemy or Farming Stoned.
Outside reading checked in October 2026. A shared strain name doesn’t prove a matching cut or batch. No outside photography is reused.
