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

Please describe how the strain looked:
The budds are light green to off-white color where the frosting is stronger.  To the eye this budd looks a little leafy but well manicured.  Upon further inspection and a squeeze, the budd is dense.  Wisps of dark orange, almost brown hairs cover about 20% of the budd.

When I break open the budd many crystals are apparent.  It looks like a geode.

Please describe the smell:
This plant has a very pleasant sour pine smell.  I don’t mean sour like Sour D but it smells slightly sour like a lemon does.  It is nice.  This sour lemon pine smell is backed by a very light yet full floral scent, like a light lavender flower.

Please describe the taste:
mmmmmm, blue berries…!  This is really tasty, seriously.  It tastes like blueberries.

Please describe the high or buzz:
I never felt very high but the medicinal effects were undeniable.  I felt a little floaty at first.

How did the strain work for your particular symptoms?
It was very mellow but effective.  I never felt very discombobulated, it went strait into the medicinal benefits.  It totally calmed me down from a rough day where I wrote an Ethics paper, a critical writing paper and about six hours of calculus.  Much appreciated Granny!

How long did the medical benefits of this strain last?
The medicinal effects lasted about four to five hours.

How long did the high or buzz from this strain last?
I’m not sure as it wasn’t very intense.  I was never very stoned, but I was happy and calm where before smoking I was tense and irritable.  That has to say something.

What was your method of consumption?
Vapolution vaporizor

Please describe any undesired side effects you experienced from this strain:
I desire it all with this one.  Did I mention it tastes like blueberries?

Would you recommend this strain for others with similar medical conditions?
