Jean Guy

Okay get that, i was 16 years old and this was my first ever solo experience smoking weed. My friend (experienced stoner at the time) gave me this full 1g joint of Jean Guy for my birthday. He told me to be careful with it since it hit pretty strong. Decided to smoke it the next day but didn't know where to smoke it and was a little bit paranoid bout it since i didn't wanted to be caught since it was my first time. Decided to smoke it in my house cause parents was out. Smoked half of it, thought it didn't hit so i go to the bathroom, see that my eyes were super red (prolly not that much, i was just really high LMAO) Realized after that, that i was in fact super really geeked. I spent the next hour derealizing and looking at the wall. It was quite an experience. I never felt like that in my entire life. I started to get really paranoid and my heart really started to pound fast which i didn't know how to deal with it since i was a newbie. I deal with a lot of anxiety so naturally i started panicking and finaly i had a panic attack. All i remember after that is that i slept it off and woken up aroused. Moral of the story, be careful if you're a newbie and an anxious person. This strain is really good if you're a sativa enthusiast and really does the job for getting that sativa high. Had the opportunity to try it out again many years later and it was pretty fun socially, Jean Guy really put you in a mood and it can be kinda overwhelming if you're with people who aren't in the same mood that Jean Guy puts you in. It made me creative and talkative but sometimes it ain't the best cause you may realize during the sesh that when you're talking you're actually cooking nothing and you should just laugh it off. Music is really good with this strain, im an artist so i actually love things that puts me in the "mood' but creating things can be tricky since it gets you really high. Anyway i think there's better sativa strains but it still an experience.

Jean-Guy, hello, bon jour! I picked up two grams of Jean-Guy from a small dispensary on the way home after work. This is a new strain to me. I am new to medical marijuana and am steadily (slowly) learning about the many amazing strains available. Pouring the contents onto the table reveals a dozen small but mighty buds. The smell, lemony with an underlying earthy pot smell I love. The buds are tight and a bit spongy, like I prefer. The colour is a thing of beauty too, dusty green, with a splash of purple/blue thrown in for the price of admission. Looking through the 30X magnifier, the buds are even more impressive, with some of the smallest buds literally covered in trichomes! I ground and rolled a joint, took one long haul, held it for a second or two and exhaled. Nice. It was smooth, not harsh at all. Taste was great, but what struck me most was the buzz! A head buzz for sure; not so much a tightness as a lightness, right behind the eyes. I savoured the rest of the smoke, noting how nice it was outside for a cold, East-Coast January evening. I came inside, having already planned on writing my first strain review on Jean-Guy. When I got to the table I was already smiling! My lips were pursed upwards, feeling like I had been told a great and wonderful secret. Jean-Guy! I love this strain! I have been listening to music throughout the whole process of this writing, and that has taken on a life of it’s own as well! I am feeling as good as I have in a while, motivated, focused and, now, two hours later, quite hungry! Jean-Guy. Try it – I think you’ll like it!

Jean Guy was on the OCS website for only a few days, probably because it was by far the cheapest strain I seen listed there at only $7.11 CAD a gram. At first I kept looking, as I've never been a big fan of this strain and even at this price I wasn't interested. But then a thought struck me. Why not see what kind of deals can be found in the bargain bin. I'm reviewing strains for the greater good and doesn't that mean trying a few strains that I normally wouldn't? This might be someones only option, especially if price is a concern. So I did it. Got 3.5 grams produced by Good Supply, which seems to be the bargain brand of Aphria. I was prepared for the worst, as in prepared to smoke this so that you don't have to. The flower arrived in plastic/foil pouch, and you know what? All legal Cannabis should be packaged this way instead of the typical plastic jars I've gotten otherwise. I think this pouch is intended to be resealable in a zip lock fashion, but something might be wrong with the package I got. Or maybe I'm wrong. Moving on the flower, it looked homegrown. It actually looked like something I might grow myself - if I ever managed to successfully grow a plant. But you know what, presentation isn't everything. What really counts is the effect, especially if someone needs this for medicinal reasons. It's scent was actually more promising, nothing too notable but stronger than I expected after appearance of the flower. I proceeded to roll up a joint and then took a nice walk in the woods. it smoked well, a nice even burn with grey/white ash. I expect this of any strain worthwhile so that's one baseline it passed. The effect was what I expected, very ordinary and unremarkable, but this makes it a good strain to smoke if you got stuff that you need to get done. So it's average at best and that's the rating I give it. But if appearances are important to you then don't bother with Good Supply's Jean Guy.
