The Menthol

I smoked this in live rosin form. It was super energizing for the first hour then became more relaxing. A little too sativa feeling for my liking at first but wasnt bad. It made me a little jittery. I think because I took 3 dabs I had a diff experience with the potency than the other reviewers. It was 79% thc with heavy live terps. I have been smoking for years and always get the strongest bud I can find. This hits hard but not in the couch lock indica way. It would be good for sativa hybrid lovers that like strong strains.

I bought this strain by the half ounce at the Flower Shop. I figured for $90 that's an awesome deal, though I was looking for higher potency sativas or hybrids. But for $90 I can stretch out a half ounce a couple weeks so I picked this up along with an eighth of The Machine. It is definitely a Crasher, albeit not the most potent one, I have, with one exception, gotten a good 6 1/2 to 8 hours of sleep a night since I've been smoking it. I come to find out though that it can be a workday buddy too, if I get a couple cups of coffee in me or a sugar free energy drink, that counteracts the drowsiness, then I'm just left with the focus and relaxation, and I'm not too high to do my job well. It won't replace a peppy sativa with similar benefits, I think, but my job is very repetitive and regular so maybe those who do more complex and dynamic work may want to avoid this strain until bedtime. Out of the bag the buds were soft and pillowy, still fluffy, a bit difficult to break up and grind. Out of the grinder and I get the indica skunkiness, almost a bit lemony for me, sort of dieselish, but I didn't smell any minty notes. There is a very slight note of natural mint in the dry herb vape, but it was more lemony, piney, with sort of a back note that tastes the way oil smells, if that makes any sense. A bit harsh in the bong when fresher, both flavor and harshness seem to mellow out as the buds get brittle and powdery. I have also tried it in a chillum and rolled, the former I do recommend, the latter gets harsh halfway and only worse from there. The vaporiser seems to be the way to go. So, good budget stretcher, definitely a mid-grade strain, the high is a little heavy but lasts all of 1-2 hours for me, and then I'm too relaxed to really want another one for a while. The economically minded may think of picking up an ounce or two to supplement their usual supply. Not as versatile as many other strains, but for the price it could become a go-to for the more relaxed hours.

It’s not bad, but it doesn’t taste like the name. There’s nothing menthol about it. Not a bad thing but if you’re looking for a minty flavor it’s not here. For effects I would say this is an anxious free Sativa. Personally I didn’t notice any indica style effects. I felt energized, creative and social. Not social as in I wanted to party, but more like watch an intellectually deep movie and discuss it with one person after. Long story short, good weed for a Friday night / weekend — doesn’t do much for anxiety, does help with pain, taste and flavor to me is basically…weed flavor
