Outstanding! A superb balance of relief for chronic pain and muscle spasm, yet still alert, focused, and energetic enough to do some cookie baking and have honestly intelligent, insightful, and relevant conversation with completely drug/alcohol-free people. I had one good pipe toke at 10:15pm (should've been earlier but I had to work late), felt *excellent* the rest of the evening, hit the sack a bit after midnight, slept wonderfully, and had no lingering fuzziness at all at 8:00 this morning. I've been a cannabis user on and off for nearly 35 years, and this is the best variety I've had yet.

Mellower than last time, no initial agitation, just a bit of an initial mental 'swirl' then was relaxed but still fairly alert. Bad redeye and cottonmouth this time. Not my favorite varietal but effective nonetheless.

Hard-hitting, I was totally buzzed 30 seconds after one good pipe toke. (Awful breath though, my partner recoiled when I went to talk to him.) I spent the first hour feeling agitated, fidgety, wandering from room to room and I couldn't get comfortable, but then everything shifted and I spent the next two hours utterly relaxed, couch-locked and happy. Had some headband after about two hours but not uncomfortable, just noticeable. I smoked at 7:25pm, went to bed around 11:00 and slept like a log... very groggy this morning but nothing a second coffee wouldn't cure.

Nice easy entry to this one, one decent bowl was enough. I was expecting a bit more sattiva-style effect but instead felt settled in, relaxed, and pleasantly altered before I really knew it was in full swing. Had about 10 minutes of fairly uncomfortable hatband about 1.5 hours in but it didn't last at all. Only real down sides for me was seriously bloodshot eyes... and I ate 1/2 of a giant pizza and was physically uncomfortable from it, but that's not the weed's fault! Started my dragon ride at 7:45, went to bed at 12:30 and slept beautifully.

Didn't like this as well the second time (one pipe bowl like before). Had a kind of a slow start but was definitely riding the dragon ten minutes in. Still felt most of my muscles relaxing, but had a bit of nervous edge I hadn't experienced the first time; nothing major, just not quite the therapeutic experience I was aiming for. Significantly stronger eye discomfort this time, but less munchy. More drifty than before. Cognizant and mostly tracking everything, but often felt awkward trying to express my thoughts. Not a bad experience, but not the best treatment option for me.

Really smooth smoke flavor, mellow and dark like a porter stout beer. Quick entry; I noticed mild perceptual effects after three minutes. (I smoked 2 mg.) Since then, I'm thinking quite clearly though my thoughts are occasionally a little disjointed. I have unexpectedly had several moments of feeling deeply satisfied with my life as it is. I've noticed body changes (muscles releasing, stretching, smoother motion, and less pain overall) but for a better balance of physical and psychological effects for my specific situation I think I still prefer Green Queen.

Fluffy, fast-acting flower true to its type as a more psychological than physical effect, with inclinations toward getting out and doing something rather than staying put (as others have also noted). I thoroughly enjoyed this as a mid-day smoke (2mg) followed by an hour's walk in the rainy woods (and lots of hot water after). Moderately uncomfortable cottonmouth, somewhat sour, about an hour in. I might try mixing this in the bowl with Green Queen or Romulan, unless anybody can recommend a strain that adds more muscle relaxation to the good head experience?

Still my favorite so far, a beautiful balance of physical symptom relief and enjoyable perceptual sensations. I smoked 40mg in my pipe and settled in this afternoon to do some journal writing (one of my usual ways of re-evaluating my physical and psychological situation), and was rewarded by very useful clarity and understanding along with the pain and tension relief I needed. [N.B. In a couple of other reviews I mention using 2mg, which should read 20mg; I just got a new scale, and it took me a few days to figure out what unit of measurement it was actually displaying. Apologies if my error misled anyone.]

I stand by my earlier review, but please note when I wrote I'd had 2mg it should have read 20mg -- I got a new scale and I was mis-reading it for a few days.

My 3/29 writeup has an error -- should have typed 20mg (not 2mg). Apologies, I got a new scale and I was misreading it.

Swift but gradual entry, a sneaker wave out of the mist. Had 40mg an hour and a half ago; almost immediately felt muscles changing and bones realigning to equilibrium. A little restless for the first twenty minutes or so, since then it's been smooth sailing. Contrary to expectations, I'm feeling a bit couch-locked; I'm glad I don't have anything critical to accomplish for the rest of the afternoon.

Smoked 30mg yesterday mid-afternoon, hoping for skeletomuscular relief without turning into a couch potato, and got a bit more than I bargained for: felt better physically, but shifted into feeling so much more active that I essentially overdid the physical activity and this morning am pretty much right back where I started. It was a cheerful buzz, and I got a lot done around the house, and I was cogent enough that writing and talking to non-chemically-altered people was transparent and easy, but next time I want to try smoking a blend of this and an indica. Has anybody done this? How did it work for you?

I can imagine that this would be a great variety for some, but despite being described to me as heavy on the indica I experienced God's Gift as a very mental/psychological medication without much of a somatic component. Since my primary MMJ use is for muscle spasms and arthritis pain, this wasn't a good match for me. God's Gift had a strong, hot, and quick onset (I smoked 30mg at 6:45pm and was slammed in four minutes), an active ride that lasted 2.5 hours, and a residual mildly disorienting effect which I could still feel this morning after eight hours' sleep. It may be God's Gift, but as far as I'm concerned the Goddess (Green Queen) still rules.

I've only tried half a dozen or so strains in the past couple of months (since I started using again, authorized by my naturopath) but this is by far my hands-down best choice for muscle spasms and chronic pain. I love this stuff: it's strong but not overwhelming, deeply relaxing without making me feel comatose, and still leaves me feeling functional for everyday tasks (though I wouldn't want to drive or operating any other heavy machinery for two hours or so). The only downside, for me, is eye discomfort after a while but that's easily managed with some good-quality drops. Besides the excellent balance of effects, Green Queen smoke has a lovely kind of citrusy flavor and doesn't make my home smell like a head shop.

"Eyeballed it" instead of using my scale, and apparently had a fair amount more than usual last night. I still had a good experience, and still felt quick to relax muscles and do a lot of range-of-motion stretching, but I also felt much more mentally affected (kind of stupor-ish) and kind of agitated. I spent much of the first hour and a half unable to sit still for very long, and noticed I was pacing around a lot, almost as if I was looking for something. (I've had this experience with other strains, but this was a first for me with GQ.) However much I had, it was a very long ride; I was still pretty buzzed after three hours, and even after going to sleep I woke up several times during the night still feeling its effects. I still think the Green Queen is a splendid lady, but she has more power than I knew.
