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

Please describe how the strain looked:
This strain does not look all that great. Small orange hairs, light frosting and overall green color are run of the mill. There is nothing really negative in this strains look but also nothing especially positive either.

Please describe the smell:
It really just has a run of the mill marijuana smell with a slight hay after smell.

Please describe the taste:
Really light smoke that is easy to inhale. Was not bad tasting but also lacking in distinction.

Please describe the high or buzz:
I really enjoyed this strain. I wasn’t totally discombobulated after smoking but still very medicated, which was nice. The high was very smooth and euphoric.

How did the strain work for your particular symptoms?
Was a very light effect on my cognitive functions and a great effect to my mood. This product made me feel very calm and confident, just kind of happy. I really enjoyed it.

How long did the medical benefits of this strain last?
I would say the medical effects lasted a good four to six hours. I couldn’t have made it through my calculus mid-term without it. It kept me functional all through my school day.

The initial high probably lasted about an hour to two hours. I was affected for nearly six hours but the discombobulation generally associated with being “high” only lasted one to two hours.

Please describe any undesired side effects you experienced from this strain:
This strain was actually really nice. The budd seemed really fresh and smoked really well.

Would you recommend this strain for others with similar medical conditions?
yes, light effects but great medicinal benefit.

Lots of shades of green, from sage to emerald, with a few big leaves. Fewer visible trichomes, crystals seem smaller to me, too.

Olga – Cartilage and ligament damage
  • Looks ★★★☆☆
  • Smell ★★★½☆
  • Taste ★★★★☆
  • Potency ★★★★☆
  • Effectiveness ★★½☆☆

Please describe how the strain looked:
The Soft buds were squished in their bag and you could clearly see some remaining leaf that should have been trimmed off, but there is a solid crystallization throughout which is a good thing. A yellowish light green with a sparse amount of orange hairs. The stem when exposed has a decent amount of THC crystals on it as well.

Please describe the smell:
A pungent sweet smell, like fermenting fruit with a tiny hint of eucalyptus. The smell is unlike many, and hard to explain but it almost smells like walking through a forest after the rain. Definitely piney, but a sweet floral scent underneath it.

Please describe the taste:
The piney and eucalyptus flavors carry over strongly into the taste, it has barely any sweetness but it is very flavorful. The earthy piney taste is better on the exhale, where you can feel the lung opening effects of the eucalyptus like herb. Its really smooth and tastes nicer after each hit.

Please describe the high or buzz:
It came on fairly quickly and seemed to last several minutes before I leveled out. It was a strong mental buzz and made my whole upper body relax almost right away. My neck, jaw and shoulders seemed to soften and it carried over to the lower extremities shortly after. Not really over joyed or excitable, but very relaxed. Not sleepy, but felt very at ease.

How did the strain work for your particular symptoms?
I noticed a slight change in mobility but no exceptional improvement. I had been sitting a while and didn’t have any stiffness when I went to get up. Other then that, it had a nice mental buzz which always aids in the forgetting of pain. I felt an overall sense of relaxation which was very enjoyable.

How long did the medical benefits of this strain last?
The benefits lasted about 2 hours I would say, after the initial buzz wore off I remained in a very relaxed state of mind for 2 hours afterwards. So three hours total.

How long did the high or buzz from this strain last?
Approximately an hour of a strong mental buzz, followed by 2 of overall relaxation. The buzz was really enjoyable but the desire to re-medicate came back fairly quickly.

Please describe any undesired side effects you experienced from this strain:
None

Would you recommend this strain for others with similar medical conditions?
Not likely, although it was an enjoyable strain it did not have a strong effect on my medical condition.
