To preface:
I am not an expert, a doctor, a politician, or a lawyer. In fact, I’m the worst! I’m a coy little ignorant diva with a terrible personality and you probably shouldn’t listen to me at all; let alone take anything I ramble about more seriously than any other local, satirical, and amateur journalist who lives in your hometown!
Due to the recent popularity and success of Harold’s reviews of local businesses: Blue Dream, a local vape store reached out to us for an opportunity to be featured in kind. Owned by Entrepreneur and vape industry iconoclast Mandeep Singh, Blue Dream offers a wide, well-curated selection of cigars, glassware, and vapes of premium caliber, as well as a variety of other products vape-related and otherwise containing what I came to learn is called THC-A.
As Sharpsburg Sam is no stranger to the industry or THC-B through Z, I was delighted to be dispatched to the field for a scintillating, sensational sampling session!
Our team of pseudo satirical silliness specialists from HHQ (Harold Headquarters), spearheaded by yours truly, Sharpsburg Sam were met by two of this location’s enthusiastic employees, Clay and Hunter!
The building itself, (located conveniently on Newnan’s Bullsboro drive) from the outside features the chain’s signature signage and ample parking. Upon entering the business, my senses were spellbound by the sincerely sizable and splendidly sorted sections of stuff stocked in a vividly sensational spectrum of shapes, sizes and shades!
Clay and Hunter were excited to greet us and displayed sincere and welcoming hospitality and enthusiasm to assist us on our quest to become informed customers and dispel the vexing confusion that surrounds the business’s primary specialty of THC-A products.
Eager to serve our Coweta County community citizens with informed knowledge and amateur journalism, I began my interview with Clay and Hunter with the vigor of the Titan Prometheus climbing down from Mount Olympus to steal the divine understanding of fire and bring it back down for the mortals who lived in cold and darkness below!
I began my noble inquiries by asking them what their favorite things were about serving Heaven’s favorite demographic, the citizens of Newnan, Ga.
Clay, a vape shop veteran with a legacy of purveying in the industry locally, cited that he loves the sense of community and camaraderie that comes with working in a store that offers a common commodity like Vapes and CBD/THC-A products, which gives him many opportunities to see and work with his friends, family and acquaintances. Hunter, a detestable foreigner who hails from the distant Outlands of Coweta county: Tyrone, expounded on Clay’s answer in a way that flattered the location as well as built my xenophobic sentiments regarding his non-Newnan heritage by pointing out that despite the City of Tyrone being tragically located outside of Coweta’s sacred borders, he finds that the carefully curated and wide selections of items often draws people from his inferior homeland to The City Of Homes regularly! It was clear to me that he and the customers he mentioned were not making the pilgrimage to Newnan in vain.
My next line of inquiry was about the nature of the mysterious THC-A and how it differs from your standard example of the Silly Grass. Hunter, who had taken it upon himself to ensure that he was well-informed and researched on the matter to be able to make sound suggestions and assuage the concerns of customers in the store, was more than happy to get me up to speed.
To paraphrase and summarize:
Evidently, the chemical compound found in the flower that makes cartoons funnier and makes Hot Pockets taste better is known as Delta-9; not to be confused with Delta-8, a variant of the chemical that is commonly found in various products in non-legal states since the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill.
THC-A, I’m told however, is essentially Delta-9 which is extracted from the hemp plants’ flower using a different process than standard cultivation of the plant and does not become a viable comparison to Delta-9 until after it is heated up and used post-sale as opposed to the traditional product that contains Delta-9 in its original form as sold. This is made possible by the Farm Bill’s loose and exploitable phrasing. As I stood, spellbound smelling the scents of incense listening to Clay and Hunter spout their wisdom; I felt like a cute little sultan with two Jafars whispering clandestine whispers of warning and betrayal, except I was disappointed that neither of them even had a badass cobra staff or a talking, sapient man-bird 😡. Clearly, they need more coaching on that aspect of customer service; there was a distinct lack of sorcery the entire time and it would have really elevated the experience. Magical or not, these two muggles advised me that the loophole was going to close on October 1st of this year because the FEDS (my words, not theirs) wanna keep us down! Evidently, the tyrannical government of the state that surrounds our flawless little Newnan paradise will make THC-A illegal with an update to the bill. Or something like that? I’m testing out the stuff we bought now and it’s a little foggy! Regardless, it gave me a sense of urgency to give you a sense of urgency to stock up before the wet blankets in the fat-cat Capitol deal us another setback on the journey to join the other, cooler and more based states in their legal state status and prolonging the harsh reality that GERMANY of all places has a government with a better sense of humor and more recreational freedoms!
AnywhOoOOooOo— What sets Blue Dream apart from gas stations and other vape stores?
I can say from my experience that the staff at this location take pride and care in the products on their shelves. They take the time to test them individually so they can confidently find the right thing for you when you ask and keep you from making a mistake and buying something that you would otherwise regret. I felt informed, excited and pleased about our purchases and that’s worth almost enough points to excuse the embarrassing lack of wise-cracking parrots voiced by the late Gilbert Jeremy Gottfried (February 28, 1955 – April 12, 2022, rest in POWER!)
Mr. Singh, the owner, would like to proudly announce the new location of Blue Dream in the cursed outlands outside Newnan’s sacred borders located in Smyrna! Obviously, I’m wary of traveling to the shadow realms of other counties, but if Smyrna can run a location as neat as the one in our glorious city, I’d be happy to brave the journey.
In conclusion, I award Blue Dream, Newnan an impressive 5 Sharpsburg Sam Stars out of 6! Follow them on Instagram at @bluedream_newnan
Sincerely Signing Off,

From the desk of Harold:
Big props (like a giant popsicle and mega rubber duck) to Sharpsburg Sam for taking on the role of critic for a type of business I simply wouldn’t even know how to judge! A lot of what I experienced at Blue Dream Vape Shop in Newnan was exactly what you want to experience at any business–cleanliness, knowledgeable employees, laughs, fellow customers (but not too many–we ain’t waiting in line like Preschool!) and great products. So, what do I know about vaping? Nothing. Vaping is what robots do to fit in at Android Academy. But as a youth, even Harold would occasionally (every day or so) inhale the Devil’s Prada.
Look, there is NO way for the police to prove I even know what THC is (Thick Hairy Chins?) so I find it safe to say Sharpsburg Sam, Caboose Casey, Harriot Huggins and I used to get obliterated to space and back again–like a Hobbits tale, but with weed.
Wait. The Hobbit already has weed.
My experience with the legalized (for now) THC from Blue Dream was a milder, relaxed, and non-confusing one. I have completely left behind “getting high” in favor of “not getting high blood sugar numbers.” When I smoke/gummy/edible, I tend to snack more and bolus less. Type 1 diabetics have to look out for everything and removing your highness from my diet was a necessity to maintain peak (good peak–not high peak) glucose levels. I had no trouble on this THC with any of that and would recommend Blue Dream products to anyone that is looking for THC High Lite.
The products I sampled were chosen directly by Hunter and Clay, whom I found to be delightfully funny, friendly, and wise, making the visit a great one, regardless of my confusion at the entire place. Clay also showed me their cigar room, which is great for MAGA grandpa’s and anyone who still says “my lady” in an effort to get laid. For realsties though, the collection is a modest but excellent one and I came across a few options that even I (a big dumb squid idiot) know to be of incredibly high quality.
My complaints are few: turn down the music, for starters. I am sure most of their customers aren’t also coming into the store to interview them, but for me this was a bit of a pain to work around. Plus, they weren’t even playing Justin Bieber? Weirdos. Play that Bieber music, white boy. And prices were a bit higher than I expected, but that’s because I’ve never stepped foot in a shop like this before in my life.
Why am I talking? Sharpsburg Sam will tell you everything worth knowing. He’s the better version of me, just with a dumb beard.
