Sweet Smelling Chemical like flowers. These Large hard to break apart Torpedo's, have a solid white coat even the leafs look pale and light purple. Another nugget has a bunched look to it, just hairs wriggling, torqued, contorted bright orange hairs that pop! The taste is smooth, pungent, light grassy textures, rosemary, sage and over the course of the evening I taste the pepper at the end of every hit, bring water for that back hit. The effects are coming on slowly, I notice the light streams have a ray of beams that reflect on every bright source like a light bulb. Colors stand out more and so do individual objects. Heavy visual laggy-ness trails when I move my hand over the keyboard. I am having "Imprinted vision", it's a term I use when I look at something for a second like a diamond pattern; then look at a blank wall I can still see the pattern after just looking at the pattern for a moment. The Vape is thick when you inhale, but almost no vape after, It's a quick absorber into the bloodstream through the lungs. I try to be detailed as much as possible, during these reviews so I can refer back to them to see how it affected me. Left me physical feeling calm, and attentive, happy a little energetic, and super uplifted feeling. Next time I see this rare strain I am getting more! Taste is good-great, the bud is fantastically looking right color, nice frostiness, compact structure hard to break apart. There's some pain numbing-ness not too much of that though very head stoned, for it's more than just stoned you can focus on it which is a rare quality for me. I will recommend this for those who suffer from ADHD/ADD, Pain, Depression, Mood Disorders, Fatigue, Stress, PMS "Pre-Mood Stress" not to be confused with the other common term of "PMS". and of course Fibromyalgia. It's usual time lasts for 2-3 hours.

This strain amazing as concentrate. I picked up a half gram of ISS & my only regrets not buying more. Definite skunky taste, earthy & has a tropical scent mixed in. The buzz is great for wake n baking, gives you energy without making you feel too jittery. I love skunk phenotypes. Also gives me deep relaxation from head to toe. Last about 2 hours. This strain didn't trigger any anxiety or paranoia, it's an energizing yet relaxing strain. I love to be social on this strain, and I love going outside to walk my dog on Island Sweet Skunk.

A favorite strain for many years, it doesn't come around the legal market very often so when Versus released it I gladly scored a Z. Smoked it hit shortly after I finished the joint. Vaporized it hit almost right away and as usual was a more powerful experience. As for the effects, it is just what I expected. A period of Introspection/creativity, followed by giggles, energy and motivation, finishing with powerful euphoria. There were some moments of mild paranoia that were manageable. This was mid quality weed. Strong at over 27%, it's a bit short on terps and flavor plus there's lots of sticks to remove before grinding. For a $100 ounce it has the ISS effects I am after, just less skunky than examples that I have had before.
