This indica-dominant California strain will have you thinking about taking a hike in the woods with its clean, green grass smell that has hints of herbs. The potent smell is actually the first thing many users notice about Cali Gold and the taste pulls in notes of citrus, bringing to mind lemongrass. This strain is a cross between Jah OG Kush and DS Gold. The plants also look impressive, with bulky, crystalline buds. Effects tend to be body relaxing but not completely sedative, so that hike may just be a possibility.

I started by smoking this strain on a trail behind my neighborhood everything was much more vivid and my thoughts slipped into paranoia when I thought someone who looked like someone I knew was following me, I'm very focused right now and everything is a vibe, slight headache and I'm very couch locked now just not enough to sleep lol

Originally pretty good, in small hits; I felt pretty chill, happy, hungry.. I don't recommend for people with low tolerance and anxiety. But I had one instance where this strain made me extremely disoriented, paranoid, nauseous and pretty much caused me to 'green out'. Just don't use too much and you're okay.

Definitely a strain that does the job every time. Some strains feel like the effects don’t hit the same after smoking a lot of the same strain. But this one is consistent. Makes you feel a great functioning calming high.

I was introduced to this particular Cali Gold last year and I like the history behind the strain. I'm more of a sativa toker, but started consuming this Cali Gold because of the freshness and consistency of my growers crop. I've been enjoying the Cali Gold exclusively over the past 6 months and I really like the effects, flavor and its consistently high quality flower from the grower I get it from. Small crop, organically committed, and its been great for relaxing and getting work done during the day. I'm really happy with the Cali Gold.

I had to go do some last minute gift shopping, I hate shopping, but I smoked some of this beforehand. Wow, this "task" soon turned into a treat. I was loving the Christmas lights and not even minding the other shoppers. For me shopping involves the following: knowing exactly what you want, finding it, then leaving as soon as possible. But it was completely different with Cali Gold. What a great time. It kind of seems to be a slight bit hallucinatory, which made for a very cautious and slow ride home on back country roads. If this strain can make shopping enjoyable, I guess it can do wonders. Very recommended.

Very earthy smell almost smells like grass and pine. High is very relaxing but not completely sedative, waves of euphoria makes life seem like a dream.

One of my favourite strains. The one that doesn't hammer you on the couch but leaves you full of energy and happiness to go on with your daily tasks. I loved smoking this one before taking care of my plants and repotting them. Not the highest high I had but was super awesome and chill. No leftovers of paranoia or anxiety. You'll have a nice rest at the end of it.
