  • Looks ★★★★☆
  • Smell ★★★★½
  • Taste ★★★★☆
  • Potency ★★★½☆

Please describe how the strain looked:
This strain was beautiful to look at. One gram of the lightest palest green infused with thousands of tiny sparkling crystals shot through with amber colored hairs, a nice dense bud, manicured and trimmed well.

Please describe the smell:
This smell was a very temptingly sweet smell, very scented. Its like walking through the Mall and people are spraying perfume at you.

This strain reminds me of a day at the boardwalk. Its tastes are crisp and sweet all at the same time, with an very understated aftertaste.

Green Thumb – Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Looks ★★☆☆☆
  • Smell ★★★★☆
  • Taste ★☆☆☆☆
  • Potency ★★½☆☆
  • Effectiveness ★☆☆☆☆

Please describe how the strain looked:
The budds are small and light to the touch, almost squishy but not whispy.  The plant material looks slightly premature. The budds are light green to very light green and covered in orange hairs. It looks decent.

Please describe the smell:
As soon as I opened the bag, my olfactory senses were overwhelmed by a torrent of caramelized lemons, and then whisked away on currents of pine fresh bliss.

These ugly little nugs smell exquisite!

Please describe the taste:
Nothing in the smell translated into the taste, except sour.  It is more of a lemon kind of sour than the kind of putrid sour you expect a strain like sour Diesel to have.  It tastes better than most other sour flavors I’ve tasted, otherwise its gross.

Please describe the high or buzz:
My eyes felt heavy and my face went slack.  After a little while I felt like my heart was a little racy which was mildly annoying.

I felt very numb, both physically and emotionally.

How did the strain work for your particular symptoms?
I suffer from PTSD, an anxiety disorder.  While this strain did alleviate my tension, it did not provide me any euphoria.  I prefer strains that make me smile and keep me from the darker thoughts in my mind.  This strain made me numb, but not happy.  It was OK.

How long did the medical benefits of this strain last?
The medical benefits lasted about 3-4 hours.

How long did the high or buzz from this strain last?
The high lasted about three hours.

Please describe any undesired side effects you experienced from this strain:
It totally had me going with the smell and then let me down once I inhaled.

It made my heart race.

Would you recommend this strain for others with similar medical conditions?
I wouldn’t advise anyone against it, but would likely not recommend this strain.
