One of the best strains I've found for combating the type of insomnia I have, which is sleep-onset insomnia caused by ruminating/racing thoughts and anxiety, sometimes leading into a state of near-panic, especially when I have to wake up early and I keep looking at the clock seeing how much less sleep I'm going to get than the last time I looked at the clock. The point is, Face Off OG is great for combating the above scenario/symptoms. It provides an intense wave of sedation that hits both mind and body. It seems like most other reviews document an unusually strong euphoric response, but in all honesty, I felt a pleasant buzz but not euphoric as I have with certain other strains. It definitely causes some munchies, but so far it's seemed to be on the tamer end of the spectrum. There's also My experience is based on Face Off OG Premium Flower sold by Tyson 2.0.

King Crasher is one of those strains that grew up wondering if it was adopted. Unlike its parent strains, 4 Kings & Wedding Crasher, King Crasher leans heavily towards sedation, relaxation, and sleep-inducement. The smell is on the milder end of the spectrum in terms of intensity, but the aroma is powerful given the impressive terpene profile found in King Crasher (at least when purchased from Revolution, the only grower I've ever purchased it from). I smoke almost exclusively for sleep, so King Crasher is definitely a win for me.

I have a list go-to Sativas for 3 different purposes: 1. Energy & Motivation 2. Socializing 3. Focus White Durban just overtook Durban Poison as my go-to for energy and motivation. Jack Herer and Sour Jack are tied for socializing, and Green Crack and Durban Poison are tied for focus. I will say, as I have confirmed as I type this review, White Durban seems to have an unusually potent detrimental effect on focus and memory as compared to other Sativas, likely due to various Indica genetics found in White Durban's hybrid White Fire OG parent. Durban Poison is notorious for causing overstimulation even in small doses, and while White Durban undeniably shares this characteristic, it is less pronounced. In terms of anxiety and paranoia, of the strains I have tried, I would say that White Durban is most similar to Green Crack.

My thoughts on Pineapple Chunk are mixed. It's one of the best tasting and smelling bud I've had, but the effects are too all over the place. Originally, I made the mistake of trying Pineapple Chunk for insomnia. While not nearly as energizing as pure sativas such as Jack Herer, Sour Disel, Durban Poison, Green Crack, etc., it still leans in that direction. The best way I can describe it is that while it didn't worsen my insomnia like pure sativas do, it didn't help me either. After that, I smoked it to wind down in the evening. I don't smoke during the day, but if I did, I wouldn't want to smoke Pineapple Chunk. It made me spacy and lethargic with just enough of a euphoric uplift to make me not care that I was spacy and lethargic. I can't really explain why, but it wasn't a pleasant experience. However, what I have found is that when consumed with CBD (I added hemp in a 1:2 cannabis:hemp ratio to my bowl), it was a far more pleasant experience. The spacy feeling went away, and while still unmotivated, I would no longer describe the feeling as lethargy. *The bud I smoked was from Cultivate, if that matters to anyone.
