- Smell
- Taste
- Potency
- Effectiveness
Please describe how the strain looked:
Small green budds with a light frosting of crystals covering everything. When I break the budd open larger crystals are apparent. Dark orange hairs on every nodule. Very small stems allow for denser budds.
This budd almost looks like Lambs Breath, if you know what that is.
Please describe the smell:
Has a sharp lemony flower smell. This pot smells very much like lambs breath. The smell has a slight skunky after scent but in the best way.
Lets smoke it!
Please describe the taste:
So I smoked this one in a glass Sherlock pipe not using any water.
Retained the lemony skunk flavor coming from the smell but also has a mild mintyness when exhaled. Smoke is light but has a mild bite in the back of my throat.
It tastes great!
Please describe the high or buzz:
Hit me before I knew it. I caught myself going, “Wait, did I just hit this?” I knew it was time to take a break. One bowl, unfinished, no idea how many hits but not many. It’s surprisingly strong.
Lasted a good three hours with residual after-glow.
How did the strain work for your particular symptoms?
Great effect! When I catch myself asking if I just hit this or not, it is time to put the pipe down.
This stuff kept me nice and calm. My calculus class went much smoother than if I had not had this medicine. Nice and smooth high. No extra anxiety.
This product kept me relaxed.

I was high for only three hours but felt the medical benefits, feeling calm, for up to six hours after my half bowl.

Jess-has-MS – Multiple Sclerosis
- Looks
- Smell
- Taste
- Potency
- Effectiveness
Please describe how the strain looked:
Kind of dry and brittle.
Please describe the smell:
I say “slightly below” average, because while the smell is mild overall, there’s a sharp, sort of spicy tone (almost reminded me of mint, when it’s really strong and sharp). Some might like this, but I didn’t care for it.
Please describe the taste:
Very mild, that sharp, spicy smell didn’t seem to get into the taste too much. But nothing pleasant to note in the taste, which is why I called it “average”.
Please describe the high or buzz:
As for a head buzz, I did notice a slight dizziness when I first used the vaporizer, but this buzz did not last more than a few minutes. I did notice myself feeling hungry after about half an hour, which is unusual for me at that time of evening, so it’s possible that this strain might work for someone who wants to improve her/his appetite.
How did the strain work for your particular symptoms?
For my particular symptoms, it didn’t; no improvement in central neuropathic pain, no help for sleep, my muscles were jerking (part of the neuro-pain) all night.

Olga – Cartilage and ligament damage

- Taste
- Potency
- Effectiveness
Please describe how the strain looked:
You can tell by the first glance this is a beautifully grown and attractive strain. The dense single gram nugget is pale green with consistent crystallization overall. Trimmed and cured very well. No excess leaf matter. A light green stem, with sparse dark orange hairs.
Please describe the smell:
Its a bit shocking at first, sweet, sour, and not like many scents. The most similar would have to be Jack Herrere. It almost doesn’t smell like cannabis, almost like flowers. The pungent sweetness is delicious. Its something you just want to breathe in over and over. Notes of grapefruit or some other citrus.
Please describe the taste:
I had to try this in both my vape and a hand pipe. In the vape .1 grams created a sweet and sensual light flavored vapor. It was so crisp, like a granny smith apple, but with the exhale brought up a skunky flavor. In the hand pipe the thick smoke still had the same sweetness and less skunk. Very good flavor.
Please describe the high or buzz:
It was not as strong mentally as it was physically effective. The effects were very light at first, but still knew I was enjoying the effects of strong medicine. My body was very relaxed, but I didn’t have any tiredness or grogginess. Very clear headed. Almost euphoric.
How did the strain work for your particular symptoms?
Over the course of medicating, I felt an instant ease. Strong medicine, aided in overall relaxation and pain almost all but vanished. Was walking about and gardening with no stiffness or pain in my joints.
How long did the medical benefits of this strain last?
Around 4 hours of solid benefits, and two hours of slightly diminished medical benefits. I medicated with a vape slowly in the first hour. After about twenty minutes I felt the effects really kick in. I felt limber and happy. As the physical feelings wore off the positive mental feelings did not diminish. Even 6 hours after medicating I still have mild anti-inflammatory effects.
How long did the high or buzz from this strain last?
The initial buzz was powerful for two hours, but the second two hours I felt no desire to medicate as the effects slowly wore off. Overall it had a great lasting feeling, that stayed with me throughout the day.
Please describe any undesired side effects you experienced from this strain:
None that were noteworthy. The powerful skunk flavor and thick vapor made me cough, but it was only the one time.
Would you recommend this strain for others with similar medical conditions?
Yes, I would highly recommend it. I noticed the joint stiffness fade away quickly, and it has yet to come back.

- Looks
- Smell
- Taste
- Potency
- Effectiveness
Please describe how the strain looked:
Small and very condensed green buds with crystals and just a few sparse red hairs. This would be a great choice for a frugal patient as I had to wrestle the the tip off the bud. A little goes a long way.
Please describe the smell:
It has a distinct medicinal smell with green apple and citric overtones. It seems to have a turpentine essence rather than Pine. It reminds me of the resinous smell when I getting my surfboard glassed. This is not something I grew up with in the 70’s, this is clearly medicinal grade and that is obvious with the first whiff.
Please describe the taste:
Pleasant but slightly hot.
