Treasure Island

This was a pleasant but odd surprise. Even on balance strains I still get a bit of the THC head buzz. It's manageable, but it's there. On this strain, it's very, very faint. Faint to the point where you don't feel "high". This was both trying it by vape and also trying it by smoking a bowl. The breakdown I was given on this blend from my dispensary was a potential of 14.21% CBD, and 1.06% THC. The effect? At first I thought it was a very "meh" mood it put me in, but on my second round, it was more of a "zen" mood. Calm, relaxed, but not too distracted. Most of this hit my body - I felt relaxed, the muscle pain was there but it was like the volume was turned way down. At the gym I felt I was more flexible and could push myself a bit further (safely, of course). As to the smell - at first you do smell the lavender, but after a few days you smell mostly an earthly smell with hints of herbs and spices. Tasting it however you can taste a floral note, which is probably the lavender as it had a soapy note (NOTE: that's just my reaction to floral scents; even in cologne I find them "soapy") however it was actually quite pleasant. This is not a blend to make you sleepy or super THC energetic hyperactive. It is a blend to have when you need to get stuff done and you want the pain to go away. I wouldn't say happy, but I would say relaxed and chilled out...

This is what convinced me about medical cannabis. Bought as "Free" by Soleil from Aphria. This strain murders a weather pressure headache within seven minutes. Autistic people and other people who have sensory sensitivity disorders, give this one a look - this slays my sensory hyper-sensitivity, takes less than an hour to make everything bearable again - light, sounds, touch (no more wanting to claw my skin off), everything, back to tolerable. This high-CBD strain even starts knocking back my depression after a few days' build-up. The smell in nug is lovely, soft and floral. Grinding brings up even more floral and sweet qualities. Vaped, the taste is smooth, sweet and a bit fruity, with a hint of a bitter aftertaste. The effects hit me quickly and decisively and last for hours. This has an energizing effect on me and will give me back enough energy to get a few more chores done, at the end of the day. For me, this is good medicine.

Great strain, really worked to relieve the stress of life and almost immediate killed the pain in my knees. I am a fan of the high CBD strains so the lack of a head high really made my day I was able to keep getting my projects done.
