I wasn’t expecting a lot from this strain as many of the well-known strains like this one can turn out to be a little disappointing. My cautious attitude was completely unfounded. I really loved it. It was heady, potent and intoxicating. It definitely felt like an indica, but had a little more energy to it than your average indica. I could have easily stayed on the couch all evening, but then again I could have gone out and not been too sleepy. Overall it is a pleasing and versatile strain that has the potential top please a lot of different kinds of smokers.

Pretty good weed. I felt pretty paranoid after smoking it. It was snowing really hard out so I walked around at 3am playing the sax song from halo 3 ODST. If I had to give it a color to describe my feelings, it would be a dark blackish/grayish red.

By far my favourite strain I have ever smoked, within the UK and the Netherlands. Immediate effects of just a general happier being, stress is almost forgotten and any negative thoughts vanish after a joint or two. Would only recommend this to experienced smokers as I feel less experienced may feel a bit manic as it can be a powerful high. Brilliant strain you can smoke throughout the day as there is no fatigue whatsoever but I've had a couple of instances where I have suffered mild headaches if I don't drink loads of water if I've smoked over 4 joints in a day but I feel this can be avoided if it is smoked more frequently to keep the buzz alive until you need to sleep. If smoked with a bong the high is obviously much more intense and colours seem vibrant and it has a vague trippy feel but is extremely enjoyable.

Fruit loops! That is exactly what it tasted like to me the first few buds I vaped. The high was great and the pain relief was good. This had also given me an intense ravenous hunger. It was so bad that my wife and I started calling the event "the green beast" because I was on the loose scavenging for food all the time. Once the high was coming down the hunger diminished.
